He's having an off season btw.

Don't use DM's in any of my formations so I play him in defence.







Hailed as the next Llorente, so was Sola so I'm expecting him to be beast too.




Random beast kid that I got for £40m from Sporting Lisbon, they got him on a free as well. Would have said fuck off if anyone non portuguese had asked for that much.

Gonna sign him as a coach after he retires

why not sign him as player/coach? sack one of your coaches and you'll save a lot of money every month on wages

lol i dont think so. totti, eriksen, de rossi, and enzo zidane all want the number 10 in my save

Is there a way to encourage the board to build a new stadium? Hit 55,000 max capacity at Anfield and really need a bigger ground. They keep saying the fanbase won't increase despite selling out every league game..

How do you get them to name the stadium after you?

Become a club legend. Even then there's not a 100% chance.

I'm not even a favoured personal even though some of the players that i have signed are 'Icons' now.

It's broken like that.

FMRTE yourself on there.

how?

Taking up a save with United, seeing if I can do the triple. Any suggestions on formations? Was thinking 4-2-3-1, with Rooney dropping deep as an IF but would he score?

One of my players got in the favoured personnel in one game.

Tbf he did score against Cardiff, our main rivals.

In 16th after 4 games with Wycombe.

offer him a new contract and under where it says player, select player/coach

Wayne Rooney back for confederations cup

I lost to Nottingham forest at Anfield, a loss that put us down to 3rd in the table, from first. I went absolutely mental: handing out fines, warning people that they might get transfer-listed, and a team meeting saying that it's not good enough. Next game, beat Dortmund 5-0.

I hate playing big teams in League 1, guaranteed loss.

2 losses in a row now, fuck sake.

Wilfried just came on.

Look at the one above this one too.

I've just took over Rayo Vallecano, there's hardly any staff and their wages are really low, who can I go for to improve the ability in my backroom.

Coventry

Is their budget still 55k?

£1m on Marshall's update.

Brought in Rasiak and Materazzi so far.

EDIT: Jason Puncheon now too.

Can anyone recommend and link me to a tidy skin?

R-skin by FMC-serbia, http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/skins-all-other-graphics/85914-%5Bfm12%5D-r-skin.html

HAHAHAH, my player got injured during an attacking corner and fell to the floor. play wasn't stopped and eventually the ball deflected off him into the goal while he was still lying on the ground

then comes the best part. the player proceeded to celebrate even though his "body animation" didn't change. his "lying on the ground" body was moving frantically across the pitch while he was celebrating

then the physios came on and carried him off lol

Someone link me to Marshall's update?

Wow.. i play Sunderland on boxing day, Spurs the day after (27th) and then against Man Utd on the 29th

Need a team to be.

Contemplating Burnley.

Don't be Burnley

Be PNE

So that's another unrealistic thing he's done. Coventry will never have that budget, it doesn't matter how many players they sell.
