The Football Manager Chat Thread!

Schnix, I found out why Andrea Poli is rubbish btw. He has a PPM that says "cuts inside". Which means that he basically runs out of the middle, to the side and then proceeds to cut inside and lose the ball because he frankly can't dribble. Currently attempting to teach him to play like a midfielder instead of a retarded winger

might make a Fully Dutch team for ajax, with coaching staff as VDS, GVB and RVN

Fucking hell, it's been a productive day in here.

Seriously, I think Brad has downs syndrome when it comes to FM.

yeah Candreva had the same issue as well. i think FM purposely gave "cut inside" to them to make them suck hard compared to midfielders in other leagues

So weird. I have never seen Poli play out wide and cut inside... I've seen him roam, but never cut inside.

Added New Manager... Johan Cruyff

I really hope Chamberlain signs for Man City or United, he's pissing me off.

Took over Helsingborgs IF in Sweden and it's safe to say it isn't going too well

Danny Gabbidon is on his way to winning the Ballon D'Or with the amount of goals he's scoring for me.

That's impossible. The ballon D'Or doesn't care about performances, it cares about CA.

Aww... I was hoping it was true. Cause that would have been awesome

He's playing well though. 9 goals in 16 league games for a shit defender.

The facepacks on FM base are utter shite.

Anyone know of any decent ones? Possible the one you use? Cheers.

Evra scores an own goal at Old Trafford. I'm somehow drawing 1-1.

2-1. Cisse.

EDIT: Berba.

Just lost 3-2 at OT after being 2-1 up. Depressing.

It's sad.

One of the major flaws in the FM game.

You can have a low CA player, scoring loads of goals in league. Then you have some high CA player, who plays shite for that season, and gets picked over the lower CA for international games.

Wish the PA could change while in game.

Scenario.

You have some youngster, and plays very well in the reserves. Then steps up for the first team, and plays well again. But his PA is shite, so he will be shit and not progress.

Then you have youth players with high PA, playing shite in the reserves and youth but will become better players. Not realistic. Like massive hyped players, that turn out poor.

Would be realistic, but no doubt that would be flawed.

There's a torrent in 4.00.

Cisse and Etherington are killing teams.

Steven Fletcher, plays just like Berbabtov but with a bit more pace.

I have a kid in my u18s worth £5m.

Pics.

I just beat Arsenal 5-1. I'm tempted to try and get Tevez on loan.
