WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO RUIN THE GAME WITH SHOOTS FROM DISTANCE

You know what ruins the game more? Not putting your stats in. ;)

Latest rumour I heard was that jlm is applying for the fitness coach position.

I'm out.

jlm confirmed as fitness coach.

#SSTfacts

Jlm just can't handle the #bantz

Woah this sounds awesome - Guess I'm too late? :p

Nope still have a few spots :).

I'm not entirely sure what PPM stands for but I think I get the gist - I hope these are ok?

Buster (Buzz) Killington's PPMs

Excellent first touch, Loyal team player, Product of the Clubs Youth Program, Scores headers from set pieces, Excellent media performer

this will help.. i didnt know either..

Are there PPMs for GKs?

Not specifically. Only one I can think of that'd be of any help is Uses Long Throws To Start Counter Attacks.

Ok thanks Milan!

FTR I created a wonderkinder, very loosely related to myself, in FM already, so kind of basing off that - quite idealised ofc :p :

I'm not too sure on position, or, I'm flexible depending on the squad needs. But generally, consider me more defensive half, perhaps utility type? What I mean is, you can squeeze or tweak my positional strengths to squad demands - another 'Team player' as suggested of others. :p

But here are the positional traits from my FM14 wonderkinder:

SW 14
CB 20
LB 10
LWB 10
RB 18
RWB 16
DM 20
CM 20
LM 10
RM18
AML 6
AM 12
AMR 8
ST 12

So quite adaptive anyway. His best position in-game is kind of Deep-Lying Playmaker/Box-to-box Midfielder, also very capable at CB. :p

If this is all wayy too over-the-top, wunderkinder of wunderkinders, then I can re-do tweaked down. ;) :p BTW Like Inala, I'm complicated too. :p

I'll be either one of the younger squad members, pushing through, or one of the oldies, on the way out. :p


Edited: Tweaked up a couple stats, just to be squad competitive and even more ideal/super. :p

Edited by GloryPerth: 10/1/2015 02:42:17 AM

Infact, after all that, you can even make me 'Chairman', if you like - If that possie is free? I actually prefer those dealings in FM: Trying to balance the budget, improve facilities & standards at the club etc... Playing almost 'Chairman Manager', let alone 'Football Manager'. :p So may aswell be a Chairman, 'extremely wealthy, fair minded, sensible, rational - Ideal owner' or... 'zany, off their rocker, impulsive, irrational, eccentric, financially unstable' (Clive Palmer-esque? :p) owner - somewhere in-between, your choice? :p If you make me Chairman, call me 'Antonius Sage-Wisdom' :p or if I'm a bad Chairman, have my name as 'InGlorious Perthonian' and have Miron Bleiberg as my DoF :p



Edited by GloryPerth: 7/1/2015 06:52:56 AM

I've already got the chairman position taken by Kevin Airs, probably easier if I just put you down as a player.

EDIT: My mistake, that was what I was going to call the manager. But I still think it's best if you're a player anyway :).

Hello milan_7. Have a great game.

Three cheers for milan.

Serious though mate, thanks for putting in the work.

YES!!!!!!!! #1!!!!!!!!!!

Hip hip Horaay!!!
Hip hip Horaay!!!
Hip hip Horaay!!!

No problem lads, keen to get started! :)

Ah cool, nps Milan - Hmmmm um, #12 I guess.... though that's normally the number a back-up GKer takes?

I'll leave the #10 for the creative '#10' attacking midfielder/playmaker/trequartista of the team, whoever that will be?! BTW I presume those with the first 11 squad numbers, most of those will be first XI players? I guess not necessarily, but my number selection may be partially defined by where I'll be used? That's kind of how I assign squad numbers in FM - not unlike how NT squad numbers are. I don't want to hog #4 as that could still be for the primary CB, so I'll stick with #12 then - '12th Man' so to speak. :p

BTW How is the squad for positional balance - are you happy with the positional balance, every position covered twice?

Edit: Taking inspiration from 'Draupinho' - My in-game character's name is now, Glöry von Perth, first name Glöry, last name von Perth (:p) aka 'G Meister GP' (:p)- if yo down wid dat Milan, yo? :p



Ok cool lol, though it was unlikely tbh - Also tbh though it'd be a lil cheeky, ironic, if my in-game 'crazy Palmer' Owner sacked 'Manager Airs' as part of the turn-style of coaches that zany owners go through - maybe re-employing him again not too long after. :p

Lol If you do create an owner, love the character to be quite creative ('Ebenezer Scrooge' etc.. ? :p) and/or referential to current and former A-League owners? :p



Second that, thanks Milan - Interested to read the progress of the team through the season! Crazy things happen - contract fall-outs, team-mates falling out, players going AWOL after NT duty, Owner firing the manager, players collecting multiple red cards, manager falling out with the board over requests or whatever, player disagreements with the manager and vice versa, Massive transfer deals, bizarre media interactions... whatever.

Our team as the Modern Day 'Crazy Gang' or some such - the unconventional, rag tag bunch on their way to glory. :p

BTW 'Kevin Airs - The FM Manager' to try something akin to Miron Bleiberg's 'Lizard Formation'? :p

Edited by GloryPerth: 8/1/2015 06:43:50 AM

:lol: A16

Congrats. :p

Damn I wonder who #4 will be:

Edited by GloryPerth: 8/1/2015 06:25:29 AM

Just pick whatever number you like, chillbilly and I are the two main number 10's ATM.

It's Not too bad really, we have a lot of depth all over the place because people put down a few positions each, which is good. So far this is how the squad looks, keeping in mind that a few can play multiple positions. Bolded are people that have put in their stats and shit.
