Ajax is easy mode on FM11, just going for Champions league everything esle is easy. have a 52mill trade profit in two and a half season and have been able to strengthen in every transfer window. Just topped my Champions league group beating Chealsea, Zenit and Wisla.


Does anyone know if FM updates Euro coefficients for leagues and teams?

Made Heart, Victory, Jets and Brisbane financial powerhouses but they still can't sign any players (?)

Did you remember to fix the teams' reputation to have the added pulling power?

It constantly updates the coefficients for the teams and leagues and reputation of the league as well.

you need to change the number of teams in the competition overview. I'm a little rusty on how the FM10 editor works though.

Being able to export your team or play with the stock team online or against mates (like with FIFA). Previously you had to play a full season so you could play one or two games against a mate's team.

I didn't realise the extent of my transfer buying greed until I had the injury list below and still put out a decent side.
Pato (torn calf 3 months)
Lukako (torn calf 4 months)
Suarez (fractured skull 3 months)
Aguero (sprained Knee 6 weeks)
Hamsik (broken foot)
Pique (collar bone 6 weeks)
Grenier (twisted ankle 5 weeks)
Paolo Henrique (hip 2 months)
Sercan Yilidrum (twisted ankle 2 months)
Guilherme (fractured wrist 2 weeks)
Phil Jones (virus 10 days)
Santich (hip 4 weeks)

--------Martez Lequizmon---Carles Guerra
Christiano Ronaldo------------Scalise
-----------Obi Mikel-------Adrien
Bale----Mertesacker-----Zelaya-----Gower
---------Lloris

Zelaya, Lequizmon are very average reserve players. Gower is a regen who is now a permanent fixture in the England 1st team. Scalise is Christiano Ronaldo's Italian regen equivalent. Guerra is the current spainish u19 captain.

Now two times European and world champions F91 Dudelange.


I bumped up Luxembourg's league reputation a bit while lowering the bigger leagues and gave each team a few world class players. The finance editing went a little wrong with Luxembourg now having by far the top 20 richest clubs in the world, hence my ability to spend big. After seventh season the league has reached 5th in the European coefficient rankings.

I had him at Villareal on FM09. I played a wide 4-4-2 diamond and played him at the head of it. Worked great for me. I can't remember individual orders.

I already have guys playing trequartista, I've tried playing him out wide but it isn't working. Maybe a more narrow 4-2-3-1...but regardless, I'm sacrificing other talent in my team to get him to perform then. Might just take advantage of signing him on a free and sell him at seasons end.

For some reason he's always available on a free. Probably something to do with the number of players who can play his positions already at Madrid: Ozil, Ronaldo, Di Maria, Canales, Kaka, Pedro Leon...

CCM have huge weighting for their home ground advantage in FM10. You can fix that in the editor.

Football Manager fans have voiced their anger at the integration of Steamworks into Football Manager 2012. The move to Steam means copies of the game will need to be activated online before being able to play. Eurogamer indicates 40 pages of comments reacting to the news on the Sports Interactive forums, with thousands of posts from fans angry with the changes.

Some fans are threatening to boycott the series until the online activation requirement is removed. Sega tell Eurogamer that Football Manager has moved to Steam to combat piracy.

“Make no mistake, if a quarter of the people that usually pirate the game switch to purchasing Football Manager 2012, the sales of the game worldwide would more than double,” they say.

“This would lead to increased development budgets and more benefits for all of you who do buy the game.”

“We’ve taken this decision because we believe that the steps the consumer has to take are not excessive, and that as a one-time only measure with no tracking or reporting it is not too intrusive. Having worked with Steam for a few years now we also believe that their system is ever improving and gives Football Manager players a good service of free auto-updating, achievements and other great benefits without cost or hassle.”

In the scheme of things, a one-time online activation system seems relatively tame, especially in the light of Ubisoft’s always-online DRM system, and games like Diablo 3, which cannot be played offline, even in single player.

For many hardcore FM players, Football Manager will be one of the only games they play. It’s interesting to see the reaction of fans from a community less less desensitized to the growing extremity of many publishers’ anti-piracy solutions.

Are you a Football Manager player? Let us know what you think about FM 2012′s move to Steam.

What does this actually mean?

First impressions are good - looks much more refined, easier to use and navigate. Also a new font.
