I have a good goalkeeper and two good strikers, and that's about it.

I'm gonna try and break the top two in Scotland.

What would be a good team to do that with?

Hibs seem to have a solid side, they have Leigh Griffiths.

Hearts seems to be the third best team in the league. So probably them.

I broke the top 2 with Aberdeen. Celtic cme 4th I think.

Whatever you do, sign a quality striker. My leading goalscorer is a defender

What players did you have? These strikers are utterly useless...

Edit:

Damn goalkeeper. Leading comfortably against Invernesse and he drops the ball when catching it...


On the plus side, I can't say this isn't interesting though.

sometimes i wonder how AI determine what signings they want to make

over the course of a year, tottenham signed isla, vargas, and tremoulinas. all €15m+

why would any team want 3 first-team left wingers/wingbacks (they have bale also obviously). second of all, how does spurs have all this money when they've barely sold anyone

Gonna look to frees, loans and cheap players from Championship clubs.

I feel like a League 1 club.

We get 30m min in Jan. And most second seasons I get like 60m.

I actually know this!

When you start the game the database has "transfer targets". If that list contains a lot of wingbacks, then in all likelyhood the team will sign a lot of wingbacks. Saw Inter sign 5 strikers in one window

Which is also why in most games teams tend to sign the same players.

Also, Spurs are rich. They have wealthy owners.

Can't afford championship players

Drew against Invernesse because my strikers are useless and my goalkeeper dropped the ball

Edit:

Celtic are 9th, even behind me

really?? thats what that is? i thought transfer targets are just single players, not positions

not that i dont believe you. makes a lot of sense though. in my save liverpool signed julio sergio from me and tim wiese from bremen. and they still have reina and doni

pretty retarded thing to have in FM if you ask me

5 strikers i could understand. you can rotate a lot with your forwards. but wingbacks/keepers aren't really rotatable....

No it is players. But if you have a bunch of left wingbacks in that list the team is likely to go for all of them (I dunno why, they just do).

£16k per game on TV.

Same as the Championship.

oh okay i see what you mean. so it's random

Scott Vernon my best striker, wouldn't even make it into a league one side

Lee Holmes in from Saints on a free, Hopefully Hoskins will sign on loan.

Look at that strike rate

Tight.

Take a while to sim my United save only just got into January.

Crap. 2 minutes in against Rangers and they score. Looks like I won't keep the scoreline respectable then.

I might take up the SPL Challenge, never thought about it.

This team is doomed if I don't sort out the morale..

Edit:

Fans angry with me for playing youngsters against Rangers

How do you get that thing that tells you his stats have increased?

Tick the show attributes change box.

Is this much of an improvement on 11. Might get it.

All I want for christmas is a pacy striker who can finish. Catching these teams on the counter would be so easy.

Oh my god I'm 2-0 up against Celtic.

What SPL teams are yous?

3-0!

Jordi wrote:3-0!

The allmighty Jordi.

Coincidentally Celtic are 2 poins above the relegation position in my save

What SPL teams are yous?

Aberdeen of course.



I'm taking the "Steve Bruce" approach to team talks. You got smashed 3-0, but at least you looked good on telly.
