robterrace Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Right, its November of the 2nd season, and I'm currently mid table in the Prem.. Incomings and outgoings.. I think I've posted Hoekstra, but hes not ready for the first team yet, so he's gone on loan until the end of the season for a little bit of match experience, the same with Platter and a couple of other youngsters.

matthewpeterstock Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Just started a game as part of a challenge with a friend.going flat out for promotion in order to get the biggest budget as I believe it is possible with this squad and setup. I intend to overhaul the club and get rid of a fair few players I don't see as worthy or those I can get a bit of money/save on wages. Staff wise, I will keep similar but may bring in a new assistant if a decent one is interested. Who in the existing squad would you say is a key player?

matthewpeterstock Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Quick update on the progress so far League after 16 games - 2nd in the league but 5 points behind Brighton League cup - into quarter finals after beating west ham. Drawn arsenal at home, possible upset on the cards Below are the transfers I did (no doubt some will disagree with what I have done) Transfers in Tote - free Jose Carlos - 775k Moises hurtado 1m Adam smith - loan Asier del horno - free Vanden borre - free Wellington nem - 3.5mill Mauro Formica - loan Wes hoolahan - loan Reynold lemaitre - free Emmanuel frimpong - loan Total - 5.5 million Trnsfers out Lascelles - 750k Tudgay - 100k Majewski - 2.6m Greening - 300k Derbyshire - free Findley - 950k Moloney - 100k Miller - free Total: 4.8mill A lot of the money gained went into wages to afford the extra players. If I was to do it again I would do a bit less as I am not making any money each month which is why promotion and the cup run is important Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanhami Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Im currently in the 2019-2020 season with Nottingham, last season I won the Europa League and finished 5th in the league. I have finished most seasons in the top 10 in the premiership however I can't seem to get a very good attendance to games, been averaging around 75-80% each season. I would like to know what other people are achieving because I thought by now I would be getting near enough 100% attendance and looking to get a new stadium. So what attendances are you achieving?

While I get 4 straight wins in the Championship but knocked out by Fulham in Captial One Cup. :/ Parent club Arsenal loaned out most of their loan-able players so at last I just managed to get Frimpong, will get some rotation with Moussi. I got Ben-Haim to sign too and he's a rock in defense with Collins! Hard decision but decided to loan out Lascelles a few months for first team football, hope he'll come back stronger! On the other hand what's Lansbury's best position? I kinda doubt Robert Kelly's advises as his stats are so low... any good assistant managers I shall get?

cms186 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 i play in an FMO game as Forest, got promoted in 2nd place first season, 2nd season i finished 7th in the prem just missing out on europe, and this is the picture atm : http://i.imgur.com/XAucMzg.jpg Season 1 i signed Nathan Redmond ( who is now playing for England ), Karim Ait Fana, Seamus Coleman ( he was signed in january after he was transfer listed by the AI ), Tsepo Masilela, Adam Smith and brought in Simon Mignolet on loan ( the last 2 were cheap deals because they had human manager who didnt want them, Adam Smith in particular has blossomed into a great Full Back who can play on either flank ) I also loaned in a few Foreign Youngsters for cover, I loaned out Lascelles to League 1 Leyton Orient ( who were also managed by a human manager ) where he starred in their defence. Redmond cost me 5 million, but the rest were relatively cheap. My Lineup for the majority of the season was: GK: Mignolet DR: Coleman/Smith DC: Ayala DC: Collins DL: Smith/Masilela DMCL: Cohen MCR: Lansbury AML: Ait Fana AMR: Redmond STCR: Cox STCL: Sharp Sharp and Cox both bagged over 30 goals, but my defence was awful, i think i had the 3rd/4th worst defence in the entire league, yet still managed automatic promotion, mainly thanks to scoring 109 goals: http://gyazo.com/46cbd2b232bb4b880b268795b002ab42 Season 2 I spent most of my initial transfer budget on making Sharp and Mignolets loans permanent for 4.8 million combined, I also signed Ryan Bennett from Norwich as he was transfer listed and looked decent, i obviously need to shore up the defence somewhat, i rounded off the transfer window with some loans, most notably Jeffrey Bruma from Chelsea, and a couple of youngsters for cover including Lenny Nangis, i also decided to keep Lascelles and start him alongside Bennet in defence, even making him captain, it was a brave move, but i felt he was ready for it and it would do his progression wonders. The formation was unchanged and the lineup was the same except Bennett and Lascelles came in for Collins and Ayala. Annoyingly ( at the time ) Bennett picked up an injury a few games into the season so i had to start Bruma there, but he played very well alongside Jamaal, so much so that I had to relegate Bennett to the bench when he regained fitness. In January i got some more money to spend, so i made some moves, making Brumas loan deal into a permanent transfer for around 3 million and I signed the transfer listed Andreu Fontas from Barcelona to be my midfield general, I also signed some more youth players, including another transfer listed Barca player ( Javi Espinosa, cost me 60k ) and a couple of out of contract regens from Juventus. Fontas replaced Cohen at DM and i went into the final game of the season with a win away at Arsenal guranteeing me 6th place and europe ( as Newcastle were below me but had won the league cup ) sadly i only drew, but it had still been a good season, i dont have a screenie of the final table, but here it is with 2 games to go, Norwich and Liverpool still had to play at that point and i think drew: http://i.imgur.com/vEDpKnq.jpg as you can see the defence was well and truly sorted out! Season 3 saw me with some big bucks to spend and i decided to look to the future, this post adequately sums up the transfer dealings: http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/323923-OTF-FM13-Premiership-FMO?p=8562638&viewfull=1#post8562638 Fanelli has settled in well and has started scoring goals, he has an excellent free kick and takes a mean corner as well! Meguenni is being used in more of a rotational system with Lansbury, as his low stamina makes his fitness a headache. when Lansbury starts, I have 7 of the 11 that got me promoted starting for me, and 1 of the 4 who didnt get me promoted was at the club at the start of the game ( Lascelles ). I had planned on starting Jese and Fanelli together up front, but Jese was a little disappointing and Simon Cox took his chances from the bench so i felt i had to start him for now. The latest session, which happened last night, Forests board gave me 12.5 million extra to spend as a result of my excellent financial position ( i have the 3rd lowest wage budget in the league, which helps ) and I noticed that my Main transfer target in the summer, another 5* potential striker from germany, who refused to speak to me after i had an offer accepted, was now showing up again in my interested list, so i made a bid ( for 13.5 million, i made it for 12 monthly installments so i could afford it ) which was accepted and he accepted my contract offer and he will be joining in january. I dont have a screenie yet, but he looks very good, hes a bit quicker than Fanelli, with better finishing, he has high work rate and teamwork and has great Penalty Taking stats ( seems a minor thing to be excited about, but apart from Billy Sharp, who is on the bench, i have no good penalty takers in the team and have missed a few this season! ) his only problem is his low composure of 10, but i can focus his training on that and he will get it up in no time! him and Fanelli together up front will be lethal in a couple of seasons time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iMan Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I started a save with Forrest back in feb. I added than Jan transfers myself and bought Nem and Ademilson.

pedromanuelpinto Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Well I'm trying a very fluid 4-4-2, didn't buy any wingers atm.

Andy1938UK Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I won the league using mainly a 4-2-2-2 formation shown here. http://i.imgur.com/NvLUIE8.png I set the strikers to swap positions as I didn't think one was any better than the other. I also used a single striker for games where I thought I might struggle. I removed one striker and put on a DM. I'm in my first season in the Premier League and have had to employ a more defensive tactic although I still use the above tactic at home if I'm playing one of the weaker teams. Hope this helps.

GK: Gordon (signed from free transfer) DR: Halford (best performing player) DC: Lascelles + Ayala (limited defenders) DL: Del Horno (defending full back too) DMC: Frimpong (on loan for a season) MC: Cohen + Guedioura (rotating also McGugan + Lansbury) AMLR: Tom Ince + Zaha (fairly cheap as their teams performed so poorly in the first season while i got promoted) FC: Cox (Deep-Lying support) i'm still amazed as i'm sitting on 6th with 20 games gone.
