The Football Manager Chat Thread!

Saw someone tweet about a beginners resource pack for understanding tactics, he said it would help everyone, not just beginners.

noooooooo, man city scored in fergie time at Ewood Park. i'm back down to 2nd place now, with man utd in first, 2 pts ahead of me

(man city is in 9th place)

not too disappointed though, and not too surprised i conceded so late in the game

i used the same XI in my previous two matches vs newcastle and chelsea, with only 2 days rest in between in match. i started players against city who were at 80% condition

10 points collected in last 5 congested matches, not bad



now at least i get to rest my senior team in my next match (FA Cup match vs L2 outfit Burton ), i better not lose. after Burton, i face Arsenal, then a 2-legged Carling Cup tie against Newcastle lol. more congestion

Started the relegation challenge with QPR. Trying to sign Gomes from Spurs as Cesar's injured, and I've had a work permit application turned down.

Signed Coquelin and Grosskreutz on loan, and Bebe, Mancienne, and Fortune permanently so far.

EDIT: Got Brad Jones for £500.

Anyone have a link to one of the new databases (LFC's prefably)

downloaded that cut out faces megapack

do any of you know if there is a logo pack with logos for every single team in FM (well majority of teams in FM and for those that aren't playable)

Metallic logos megapack, not every single team, but a ton of them.

Failed the challenge with QPR. Going to keep going though, see how I do in the Championship with absolutely fuck all funds.

I don't like the challenges, it changes the interface so you can't have options like staff responsibilities afterwards.


Btw no wonder you failed.....you signed Bebe

He didn't play too badly for me actually.

Wow im actually surprised


Tempted to edit him so he's awesome in the game

Had a bid accepted for Phil Neville from Villa, but he didn't want to sign.

Got Dani Guiza for £500k.

Sacked by QPR, went on a run of 4 league defeats in a row, finally won but then Barnsley smashed me 4-1.

Accepted the Bolton job (17th) over Leeds (bottom). Haven't impressed the board by since applying for 2 jobs in the Prem though.

just signed Pogba, Erick Torres, and Carlos Fierro on Bosman free transfers

gotta <3 12/31

waiting on confirmation for Tagliafico and Keisuke Honda

Bolton have just been taken over and the new guy's just told me he has no intention of providing me with extra funds, get in!

And they sack me for applying for the Wigan job.

Bored of my Xbox so got an update and about to start a save with Atletico, try to overtake Madrid and Barca at the top

Got this really wierd bug on my Arsenal save

Seems as if whenever I play James Shea in goal I this happens. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Gonna have to start a new challenge, I've ended up managing Woking.

Can never get in to a save apart from Liverpool. Gonna start a new one with them

Bought in Isco for £15m, just won first game vs Swansea

Fucking hell, signed Guberti from Roma for £6k, not knowing he's banned for another year.

Beat Arsenal 4-2. Isco's playing awful

Started the season with 5 straight league defeats.

The goal that ended my 12 game unbeaten streak



Had to be Reina

Can you cancel a pre-arranged transfer?

Agreed to sign David Mendes da Silva on a free but looking back and I've given him wages which are too high, he's 30 and the young CDM Daley Blind has really improved over the last few months so I don't want him anymore.

Not sure, but you might be able to for a fee or something like that if you hit the transfers button, to get to the screen that has all of the pending transfers and offers.

this is how i play FM



money ball

Why's it so difficult attracting players to the Championship?

I'm trying again to sign some Mexican player Chelsea have. Understandably he's repeatedly failed to gain a work permit (only has 7 caps), but how did he manage to move to Chelsea in the first place?

yeah, i tried to sign David Luiz from Chelsea (i'm blackburn) but they said he needed a work permit

i repealed 2-3x and it failed. then i loaned him and it failed again, but i appealed 2-3x and it worked
