How the fuck could you let Polkowice do this to you?

Firstly, you are at home judging from the stadium and secondly, Polkowice is from a village of like 20,000 people!

i'm AC Siena playing Barcelona in the Champions League next match

my 1st keeper suspended

my 2nd keeper injured

my 3rd (reserve team) keeper not registered

step up U-18 keeper, time for your much awaited debut vs the strongest team in the world

Any good training schedules out there?

On the demo, my schedules from last year seemed to do the job. You could use them until I get a chance to tweak them for FM12/better schedules come out.

Lost to Crawley on penalties.

This is fucking ridiculous, I can't win a league match, what should I do?

90th minuite winner, but if my keeper had not bent down, he would have saved that, the parasite.

do what i did. punish your entire first team by sticking them in reserves. then bring your entire reserve team up. i did it with man city in FM09. tevez/adebayor/etc rotted on the reserves while the likes of jo/m.johnson/vieira/boyata were ripping up the league



can't guarantee it'll work for you but it was hilarious when i did it

My reserve team are awful though, they'd just get destroyed, team morale is still decent somehow, squad personality is determined. I'm playing a basic, direct 4-4-2, yet I'm getting overran in midfield by teams playing the same formation and my strikers are isolated constantly.

new tactics? 4-5-1? 3-5-2? or keep the 4-4-2 and use one or both of your strikers on support role

what team are you jay?

Oduro is a free agent.

I might try a 4-5-1, pack the midfield and hope to get some draws at least.

IK Start of Norway.

Jay, sign Dominic Oduro, if he's still available.

Yes, because you have to edit the entire league pyramid from top to bottom.

Better just rename an existent team and edit it's histories etc. to match your new team.

0-0 against Hamburg with on the 65th minute and I say:

"When the fuck will I score"

2 seconds later, Reus scores a free kick from over 35 yards.

Yes.

That's what I did.

essentially the same thing, so yes.

keep getting crash dumps.

Might just wait till the next patch comes out.

First league game of my Villa save v Fulham. Bent scores a hat trick with Ireland assisting them all.

Oduro, Y U NO GET WORK PERMIT?!

this is why i dont play EPL in FM, work permits are so random, sometimes you get it, sometimes you dont. if you reload an old save and make the same bid on the same player, sometimes the permit will go through

but if you already made the bid, and you reload to the point after you made the bid already, it will always be the same result

It might have something to do with the fact I'm AFC Wimbledon, idk.

when i managed everton, i had to reload old saves so many times just to roll the work permit dice again (pastore, falcao, etc)
