The Football Manager Chat Thread!

PSG just absolutely dicked me in the Champions League quarter finals and I went out 6-1 on aggregate

Fucking hell. Offered a 31 year old Wayne Rooney a new contract (currently on £275k a week) and his agent's after over £500k a week for him.

West Brom and Everton both scored winners against me in Fergie time

suck ittt Man U!!!!



13 shots to 2!





move up to the top of the table!!

i gotta get a new left back now. martin olsson is too good to play as a left back. he's my top scorer now with 7 goals in 10 appearances. never had a defensive winger in FM this good. suck it Bale

How is he scoring the goals? Long range shots, headers?

mostly by feet, inside the penalty box, mostly assisted from a cross

private chat is still so hilariously broken

it needs to be sorted, its so stupid


Even when you're nice they're cunts


They've made so they're massively immature.

4 points clear on top of the table, best defense in the league, 13 games into the season undefeated (lost some cup matches and friendlies though)



wins against city, arsenal, liverpool, and united. drew against spurs. haven't played chelsea yet

.... was honestly hoping for a bit more of a challenge =[

What year are you in?

Bye_Ya wrote:What year are you in?

2013/14

first year in the EPL

Man Utd just transfer listed Cleverley

€9m

might need to sell Bressan to generate enough funds

I'm not sure if it's because he's picked up quite a few injuries in mine, but he's really declined.

Still, not as bad as Anderson. He's 28/29 and rated 1.5*.

I don't trust my scouts

New save with Lille. This one seems like it will be a lot of fun.

ffs, i broke my 14 game undefeated streak, against 20th place norwich of all teams , conceding 4 goals in one match whereas i've only conceded 10 goals in 13 matches prior to this match







should man utd win their next match, i'm back down to 2nd place

You said you wanted more of a challenge.

Bye_Ya wrote:You said you wanted more of a challenge.

careful what you wish for

back on top now! courtesy of arsenal's win over man utd

3 points clear of 2nd place man utd and +1 on goal difference. not sure how long it's going to last

tough run of games coming up for blackburn. my next 6 PL fixtures are: @newcastle, @chelsea, man city, @everton, @arsenal, and an overachieving 5th place reading

man utd's next 6 PL fixtures are: forest, reading, wolves, swansea, fulham, and qpr

fuck, for most of the season I've been battling with Arsenal for top spot. But now I'm in danger of slipping out of the Champions League places

injuries and suspensions and not having a good enough squad are the result. Although I'm not sure how to strengthen my squad for next season. Except maybe a new keeper?

---------------Ospina--------------
Hodson-Boyata-Bennett-Gibbs

I have strong youth at ST, CM, LB, LW, RW, CAM

so I don't want to sign new players in those positions because I wanna play my youth

Won my first two league games with Lille 1-0 and 3-1. About to face Dynamo Kyiv in the CL Best Placed Playoff. 1st leg is at home. My team seems to be able to defend well, and I completely dominated the last game even though I played counter most of the game.

loan, that's what i would do

Just realised I've lost 10 league games this season, out of 34.

Hope it's just the injuries which has meant I've been shit. You shouldn't go from champions, to finishing 3 points off top, to this.

Shit, drew 0-0 to Dynamo Kyiv in the 1st leg at home. My team creates chances but the finishing is terrible. Not sure whether to go defensive or offensive in the next leg. I've got a 4-1-3-2 which seemed to defend well when I used it before, but I only scratched out a few chances for a narrow victory. Not sure if that is the best approach, or if a defensive/counter 4-5-1 is too risky. My team has a lot of good penalty takers if I can go 0-0 again, but I hate to play that way. Also lost both of my right wingers to injury in the past week, and I don't really have threatening substitutes to replace them.

Signed a free agent and gave him the squad status as "Key Player" and wages of 24k a week, something like my 3rd highest, clicked offer by mistake. Told myself it's fine, I'll just cancel the transfer. It came up in my news just before the confirmation of a player I did actually want to sign, I confirmed both

Should I
1) Carry on playing, even though I'm wasting a lot of my wages on him
or
2) Start again (last time I saved was Day 1) and buy the 3 players that I got all over again?

Try and terminate his contract. It might cost a fair bit, if you are a large club.

Started a new save with Oxford City (BSS) after my disastrous Cheltenham one and have taken them into the Conference in my first season.

I just started again. Hoping that Wellington Nem joins me. I'm Ajax by the way.

As a Liverpool fan I don't like Poulsen, so he'll be back up. Enoh is below par so I don't really want him starting so I need a defensive midfielder, just a destroyer, he'll have Siem De Jong next to him so he doesn't need to be creative. Got about 3/4 million, suggestions?

EDIT: Would prefer someone 23 or under that Poulsen could tutor, to be fair to him his mental stats are brilliant an young players struggle with that side of the game sometimes.

I'm not sure what improvements to make to my squad in the next transfer window

WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH TEAM TALKS THIS YEAR

Losing in the Super Cup so I say I have faith that they can turn it around, 8 SWITCH OFF, 0 react positively.
