but steve round was the besttt in FM11/12

Barca is too easy! I wish Ajax were in a better league, I love managing them but the league is too easy.

Weirdest transfer window I've ever played. Started by getting Moussa Sow and a few youngsters in on a free transfer to bolster the squad a little without selling anyone, ended up with this because of quite sudden transfer listings of players I was watching. Suspecting I might have a tough opening season because of it though:

Worst keeping ive ever seen.

Manchester City got a soft penalty, missed it, got another, missed it and got another... This ref is bought. Five penalties? Are you serious ref?

Any torrented versions out there?

2-0 up against Blackburn with around 15 minutes left

they score 2 goals and I draw 2-2

second time this has happened this season, again goals from set pieces

I know, I can't score from set pieces at all, but other teams seem to get 2-3 goals a match against me on it, frustrating.

It is ridiculous, 5 of the last 6 goals I have conceded have been from set pieces

same. in the league "team stats", it shows i've conceded 12 goals from corners this season. the next closest number is 7

similar numbers when it comes to free kicks, indirect free kicks, and throw in's

out of the last 11 most recent goals i've conceded, 8 of them came from set pieces

i'm currently trying laurencio's suggestion and changing my match preparation from "defending set pieces" to "teamwork"

I have also attempted that

Casim has saved my team in 4 matches now, including turning a 1-0 deficit against Chelsea into a 3-1 win (1 goal 2 assists). Giving him that 90k was definitely worth it.

Yep but they're shit so far, i tried one and it randomly goes off if you click on something

Heitinga promises to negotiate a contract, but has "leaving on a free" on his status. What a dick.

Got bored of Derby so new one with Man United what a game

Had to play United, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool in a row. I have AIDs.

Still a solid 7th now.

My FM Editor isn't working.

What an ungrateful twit Wong Leung Kit is. I sign him on a professional contract and the next day he requests a transfer .

Aaand I'm back to drawing every match again. Seriously, this version of FM is riddled with draws, I do not understand how 6-7 goals a game is "normal".

Only got this today and i'm bottom of league 2, out of the JPT, league cup and Fa cup already with Cheltenham. I made the mistake of selling some players on transfer deadline day in order to fund the signings of other players, however the deals didn't go through in time so my squad is f*cked. On a 14 game winless run and it's only November

I get that. It usually gets better in December, and then it goes to hell again. So you know, it's normal

Just bought this.

Before I start I want to get facepacks and stuff sorted, I can't find any mega packs, should I just use the same as FM12?

Have complete packs for everything, they take forever to download if you don't pay them though.

Thanks

This guy was so worth paying 90k for. He's phenomenal and will only get better once he can actually speak English

How much money would I get if I traded this in at blockbuster?

Anderson out for the rest of the season with a broken leg.

Looks superb

Started my game with Celtic.

Shipped out Samaras, Stokes, Kayal, Commons

Brought in:

Wellington Nem, activated his £3.5m release clause but had to make him my highest paid player. He'll be worth it in the end.




Adryan - 17 year old with 5 star potential ... bought for just £875,000

Oskar Hiljemark for £1.1m

Royston Drenthe on a free

So my team looks like this just now








Just need to strengthen the defense and I'm on to something. First indications are good, hammered Anderlecht in pre season, Forrest is unbelievable.

Wellington Nam and Adryan for less than 5M total? How on earth did you manage that?!

Wellington Nem has a £3.5m release clause and Adryan's is under £1m.
