Also, I can't attract big names to Arsenal. All because of damn Wenger and the shit team I had to take over.

What's your individual training focus like, high/med/low? I had the same thing and someone advised me to lower the individual and overall team training intensity a bit from medium, and I have significantly less injury problems now.

Medium. But I used the same training schedules for other teams in my past saves and I never had any problems with injuries like I'm having. I guess Arsenal players are just a bunch of pussies.

Maybe so.

wrong thread

I did the opposite of my plan and started with a big side and spent more than 100M in my first transfer window

Didn't even spend it well. I spent like 40M on Thiago, 30M on Cavani, 30M and 30M on Hazard.

what team were you?

It's January 1st, 2012 and ManCity is running with the league. They are 11 points ahead of second place, Everton. I'm in 4th place and 12 points behind ManCity. ManUtd is in like 7th and Fergie is close to getting sacked. It's pretty competitive in the 2nd to 7th places.

Sold Almunia to Barca for £1M. I still have about £30M left in my transfer budget. Main priority is a left back and backup centerback. Then if I have some money left over, I will get a good central midfielder. I won't buy a striker until I sell Van Persie.

So I buy Cavani and in his first ever match for me, he gets injured is out for 2 months. Arsenal is definitely cursed.

Fuck FM12, going back to FM11.

So true.

I'm laying on my bed playing it now.

My brother is playing FM 2010 on the iPod and he told me something so funny. He bought a player for £10.5M and the next day the player retires form football.

I'm enjoying life at Furth.

My top scorer is Edgar Prib, my midfield sensation, 7.45 average rating, 6 goals and 4 assists.

Wolski Also has 4 assists but he creates so many chances through his dribbling and shit and my strikers miss a lot of them, amazing player, all my attacking play goes through him.

If I'm honest I'm developing a very cohesive unit, Wolski was the missing ingredient to ignite things, his flair and creativity make him a vital player.

Gervinho gets injured in at the ACoN and is out for 2 months. Fuck this shit! What is wrong with Arsenal?

Got Liverpool in the semi-final of the FA Cup.

Got another decent regen in my youth intake, he is meant to be one of the best players of his generation. But at the moment he looks meh

Also I'm only 4 points behind 4th place Bayern München with 10 games left in the season!!!

Been a while since I heard that name

Might start a 1860 München save.

Gonna with the league by like 27 points

Got Liverpool in the FA cup final.

Deciding to go back old school and go for lower leagues, updated some stats for lower league players and gone as Torquay

I saw your Kurt Zouma thread - what would have been a pretty standard response on here caused fucking outrage. I love how that prick Raikan went all patronising going 'calm it bro' and 'you have issues,' and then his arse-licking cronies couldn't jump on the bandwagon quick enough.

Exactly!

God, those guys are such pussies.

I am 1860 München it is fun you should try it although if you want money look elsewhere

I am 7 points clear in League 1, but 2nd place Leicester have just signed 34 year old Samuel Eto'o

After 27 matches, the top half of the table is like this...

ManCity 68pts
Spurs 57
Chelsea 55
Everton 52
Arsenal 51
Liverpool 49
West Brom 42
Man Utd 41
Fulham 35

I've got a month where I play Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs, West Brom, and Man Utd. So it's either make or break.

After beating Inter 2-0 at home, I lost 5-1 away. Willian gets injured in the first minute of the second leg (out for 2 months) and then a few minutes later, so does Song (out for 3 days).

About to play against Bayern München, need to win this match to have any chance of getting 4th place

Anybody here NOT play on the fastest speed?

Was losing to Spurs 2-0 at halftime. Came back and got 3 goals. Then Spurs scored 3 goals in the last 6 minutes of the match to win 5-3.

Arsenal are pissing me off. This is my worst season ever on FM. I was knocked out in my first round of the FA Cup and Carling Cup. Lost a 2-0 lead over Inter in the CL Round of 16. And now I'm sitting in 6th in the league and moving further away from a CL spot.
