The Football Manager Chat Thread!

Congrats, I won Manager of the Year in my Swansea Save. Danny Graham got 49 Goals in all competitions that year.

Saints start with £5m for a mid table finish.

Could be Saints, the only problem is I play with One Striker so Sharp would be left out and mad

Train Lambert to AMC and play him behind Sharp.

Norwich have just cleared all debts

Well I don't play an AMC I play with 4 at the back, A DM, Two CM, Two Wingers and a Striker. But how do you train players to play in different positions?

Ah, you're a 4-5-1 man.

On the players profile go onto the training tab, and it's in there on the left hand side.

Thanks man. And I think I'm going to start a save with Southampton now you've recommended it. Any ideas on who to sign?

You should be ready to go straight away, might need a young backup keeper to replace Bialkowski. An you'll probably need a new CB, maybe Bostwick from Stevenage for third choice.

Cheers man, gonna start it soon.

I'm managing everyone's favourite bottlers Huddersfield.

Guessing you've sold Jordan Rhodes, how much for?

Nope, keeping hold of him, using the old £0 asking price trick. His PA is that of a good Premier League player.

Hope he does well for you and doesn't want to leave.

What's this?

Had a choice between Jordi Gomez or Kranjcar, I picked Gomez.

My beast team. Won the league in 2012 my second year in charge. Doumbia went on a goal scoring frenzy, won the league cup 3 times in a row as well. Got to the semi's of the CL once too.

Wasted £30m on Wilshere (Funded by Chelsea wasting £15m on Hoilett), Thiago has been better. Noticed Thiago's contract was going to be up soon at the start of the season so I loaned him in to see if it's worth getting him on a free, turns out it is so I offered him a contract and he accepted.

Got quite a few Barcelona "rejects" in my team, Rochina was there already but I added Montoya and Thiago, as well as some youngsters. Unofficial affiliation going on there.

I always try to get Montoya on free in the second season. He almost never renews his contract with Barca.

He's been pretty solid, kept getting beat for pace at the start but I worked on his speed and now he hardly ever gets beat. Should have been called up for Spain if the system was actually fair.

Montenegro beat England 2-1 in the EURO Qualifications on my save. They are 2 points behind England with a game in hand.

Just dominated Notts County. Had 24 shots and 12 on target compared to their 4 shots and 1 on target.....


I lost 1-0.

Signed Izzaguire and Mertens for Wigan.

Jack Butland.

4-4-2 atm, tempted to use my Saints tactic though, would include Gary Roberts a lot more.

You guys using the new tactics or classic tactics? Seems like all the really effective ones at FM Base are classic mode.

Happy with my squad except from still having Gilks in goals.

Never got enough left, hopefully the board give me some more money before the start of the season.

I've sorted the edit files so i only get tycoon takeovers in England and no other type

Quite a frustrating player, messes up easy saves. I did toss him in the deep end a bit though, made him my starter in the EPL when he was only 19. Sold Robinson back to Leeds.
