The Football Manager Chat Thread!

I made my director handle contracts when I saw 24 players needed re-newing. Fuck that. I'll change it at the end of the season.

Who are you?

things are going well with Huddersfield

8 points clear at the top of the table with 8 games left

(15 points clear of 3rd place)

haven't posted here in a while. finally started playing FM13 after being sidetracked by PES/FIFA/Hitman/ACreed

found these 4 gems of players, all available on FREE end-of-contract transfers at the start of the game. they're pretty good signings for lower division teams like Blackburn, Bolton, etc.





i'm currently managing Blackburn. i'm still in pre-season. Mauricio/Bressan should be able to replace Etuhu/DannyMurphy after i get promoted to the EPL. and Diskerud can provide depth

installing the game now.

Had to install steam which was a bitch

Strong urge to buy FM instead of waiting for crack.

waiting for crack?

ugh, haven't managed in England in a while

forgot how stupid and annoying work permits are

3 wins in a row.

I think I've escaped the relegation with Staines, close call that.

Going to have a massive squad revamp next season.

It's brilliant you have the patience for relegation battles. For me I usually want to move clubs when I can't win.

My Oviedo game is very frustrating, my squad are really good yet I can't win. Pretty sure there is a player who I bought stinking the dressing room up also.

i want to fight a relegation battle. i like the win or die games. maybe i'll try it in challenge mode

Thankyou Bushido.

I think I get attached to the clubs and feel it's my duty to get them into the clear, I never change teams on a save, I love evolving a team. My aim is to get them into the Premier League.

Unlucky mf, try changing a formation. Hold a team meeting and you maybe able to recognise him if he looks uninterested, from team talks too. Try giving him a responsibility so he may thrive too.

In my first season It went down the the last game of the season and 3 teams were still not safe, I scored in the 85th minute to draw 1-1 and stay up on Goal Difference.

I score so many goals that are offside. It's so painful to celebrate and then sit there in silence as it gets ruled out.

Also i should point out they happen in the 85th minute +

Unlocks the game so you can play it basically.



Hopefully someone buys it me for Christmas Christmas shopping has limited my funds.

I got Vukcevic on a free. I have two players in the CAM position so thinking of converting him to a striker.

Luke's way of playing FM tut.

just hired Roy Hodgson as my Blackburn assistant manager

I've turned Staines into the fucking Wigan of the Conference. I've won 3 out of 3 and have 4 games left of the season and I'm 3 points behind safety.

Should be done easy.

In my first year I stayed up in the Conference South on GD, and then got promoted, this year I'm going to JUST stay up, hopefully It's a repeat and I get promoted.

let me know how it goes. i just started a save with Blackburn. still trying to figure how to play Vukcevic. his primary positions seem to be AMC/AMR, but because he's right footed and he has the "cuts inside" ppm, sometimes i play him AML

I have decided to play him at AMC. I needed points due to a relegation battle from my poor start so I decided to not experiment.

I'm blackpool, and we got promoted to the premier league.. now i'm in the relegation places in January.

No relation, I don't think. Well James isn't listed in his favoured personnel anyway

playing the East Lancaster derby as Blackburn. i go up 4-1. i take out my tired players at 75min. then i end up losing 6-4 with Burnley scoring 5 goals in the last 10 minutes

my first rage quit in FM13

Lost in the play off final v Betis . It's such a difficult league to get out of, Adelante.

Got rid of Les Reed as my DoF, and it came down to a decision between Ralf Rangnick and Damien Comolli.

Went for the former, even though Comolli has 20/20 JPA/JPP, last time I had him he spunked money on players I didn't need and couldn't sign my transfer targets.

Ralf is doing a good job so far.

I'm excited to see how much money the board gives me when I get promoted with Huddersfield

*yawn*
