The Football Manager Chat Thread!

Getting rid of my star Basle players now. It's just become so easy. Going to only sign swiss players now for a challenge.

Need a goalkeeper:

What's everyone's opinion on Jack Butland?

Turns out alright, depends what year you're in and what level you're managing.

Blackpool, 2nd season, Premiership.

Any other recommendations? Realistic obviously, got around £2million at the moment.

Fuck it, not gonna bother with him.

Karim Zaza if your looking short term? He was available on a free for me 2nd season, he joined myself (Stevenage) in the Championship for 2.2k week.

10 yellows, 3 reds, and a 1-1 score where both goals came from PK's... all before the 80th minute. Seriously, WTF?




In the 91st minute the opposition botched a pass back to their keeper and my striker intercepted to put us up 2-1 for the win.

Any success stories with Adjoran (Liverpool)?

Khune, Forster, Amos, Lewis, Steele, Deola, Renan Ribeiro, Westwood?

Racist
















Already got bids in for Steele, Amos & Lewis.

Anyone ever had Jason Pearce (Portsmouth)?

Joel Ward is a better bet IMO

They play in completely different positions.

Ward can play practically anywhere..

EDIT: Through the right and centre.

Yann Sommer. In my Southampton save, I bought him in the second season for 4M. He has 18 handling and 17 reflexes. He has a good potential rating too. He is 22 years old when the game starts.

Just started an MLS season for the first time. Is it normal to take over during mid-season? I was surprised by that.

Copa has some good stats, pretty sure he has 20 handling.

Depends when you set the game start date to.

It feels so wrong ripping my team apart.

No room for Ferguson, Taylor-Fletcher, Crainey etc.

Also, do some people play players over other just because they prefer them in real life, like even if someone else is better?

I'm surprised you feel so much affection for Stephen Crainey.

I sold him, lol.

Jelavić7|EFC wrote:I sold him, lol.

I'm sure finding out his roots must have made it easier. That's probably the hardest thing about FM, replacing players you've built up affection for when they can't cut it at the highest level.

Sold GTF & Ferguson too, saved it though in case I change my mind.

Ferguson went back to Rangers

What keeper did you get?

None yet, might be Randolph because he's only like 250k yet rated better than Amos, Mannone etc. Got bids in for McGregor, Steele & Lewis but I reckon they're gonna be too expensive.

Between Randolph & Lewis.

Randolph = £250k
Lewis = £2.5million

Randolph is better, hmm...

Wanna try and finish 8th or something, too much to ask?

Is he actually? I thought Lewis was meant to be good, never managed him though.

Lewis is good, but Randolph is better/much cheaper.
