I hate setting up the training on this.

Signed Eriksen Looking to sign another midfielder.

Roma want £51M for De Rossi

Anyone know a good striker that can play as a trequartista that would join Spurs 2nd season in?

Want to play with one upfront in a new formation I'm developing but Defoe, Pav and Ade don't have the stats.

Lavezzi? Neymar?

Falcao/Llorente obviously.

Or Rossi.

I'll take a look at them all. Cheers

Ukrainian kid, called Yarmalenko or something like that.

This. If you can afford him. Alternatively, look for attacking mids who's preferred role is a trequartista and retrain them as a striker.

I did this, had him as a loan man upfront, then on the wings, I played strikers as inside forwards cutting in. Worked pretty well.

Good point, I'll give that a look too James.

Just found a really good keeper for dead cheap, Giorgi Makaridze from LeMans.

Also found a tank striker, 20 strenght and 20 balance, decent speed at around 15 ish and good finishing, composure, etc. Plays for Vitsese, forgot his name.

Wilfred of something like that.

That's the one, never even heard of him before and I've watched them play IRL.

Bojan!!!!

3 games, 5 goals, 3 assists

hands off daniele!

edit: but seriously, he's not that good in FM anymore. they seriously nuked his stats in FM12. he no longer has green stamina. he's as slow as a centerback, and his mental, passing, long shot, potential ability, everything has gone down since FM11

if i weren't a roma fan, i'd rather have sahin, alonso, coentrao, diarra, or khedira over derossi in FM12. they're all better in FM12

if i still had FM11 installed, i'd screenshot his stats and you'll see the difference. for anyone who's managing roma now and is not a roma fan, just sell de rossi for easy money

Bony Wilfried? The former Sparta Prague striker and Ivorian.

Thanks, I signed Veloso instead anyway

Edited

They exceeded expectations by coming last.

12 shots on target
7 goals


Pre season friendly, but pretty good. My players know how to put the ball at the back of the net which is comforting. It looks like it's mostly our defending that needs work.

just curious. how much % of those were longshots?

2 iirc were from near or right outside the box. Rest were in the box.

Aguero, 5 apps........

















































14 goals

Should I go to Real Madrid? They just sacked Ancelloti because they haven't won a trophy in about 7 years.

guis....

Got him for Southampton and he BEASTED. He was on 37k a week though

Another good player is Andile Jali from Orlando Pirates. Bought him season 1 for £1.2 million, sold him to HSV the next season for £8 Million

How're you so good on FM Marvin?

Lost 6-2 on opening day.

Maybe you haven't seen his regen

damn. maybe it's a team/player thing. what team are you playing as polska? i managed 2 teams in FM12 so far, but they both take too many long shots. i tell them to work the ball into the box, but still more than 50% of my shots are long shots, and most arent even off target....

i had 17 shots attempted in one match, 14 of them long, 0 on target
