The game starts right before or right after the WC? If it's before, just keep replaying the WC over and over with different NT teams for fun till you return? :lol:


Yeah, was thinking of doing this, or starting a few diff saves, to get used to the new features and create my tactics, coz I never really played the demo much.

IF memory serves, the demo tactics don't translate to well into the game.

Do a case study. Which countries sack you after:

1 loss
2 losses
3 losses

Does anybody else get the feleing tha tht AI isn't too clever in the media? I just had a headline saying 'mancini mocks liverpool' despite the fact that I beat his team 4-1.

Also, Serie A seriously overvalues their players. My scouts are telling me I'm going to need 35m for Abel Hernandez when he's 'worth' 11.

He's not co-owned is he? That's effectively doubling his value.

Gave Dortmund a go, won the title and Europa League in my first season. Man City approached me I accepted. I look at the squad and they've sold Kolo Toure and Vincent Kompany and bought Bryan Ruiz and Jefferson Farfan :lol:

Started a career with the Socceroos just to fill in the time till I get my Celtic stuff sorted. First game was a 1-0 win in a friendly over Slovenia, Macca breaking his duck in the 89th. Controlling the U/19's too, drew 1-1 with Ukraine.

Another season down and still no ECL crown to boast, this time I went out on penalties in the final.

A pretty average season actually as Man City also nabbed the EPL from me by 1 point. I did go back to back with FA Cup wins though, but an unsatisfactory season overall.

So far I'm 10 games into the new season and am 4 ahead of Man City, though I just lost 1-4 to Chelsea. It's been quite some time since I've suffered a defeat like that. May be a sign of tough times to come...who knows.

Have made a few buys this season and they look promising so far. Been the first time in a while that I've spent more than 10 million on players.

I was flirting with the idea of taking the Australian job when it was offered, but it's fairly distracting and not really interesting enough to keep me motivated to do well with it, though I would like to add some international trophies to my name.

Yeah, I can understand that 'doubling' it, but more than tripling? For the record, he's not. He's soley owned by Palermo.

November 21 2015. That's the game-date my game has crashed on 4 times in a row. Gonna try holidaying to it (it's a match day) and then past it.

Bet real-world managers don't have these problems.

Just played for the first time, pretty good game except I can't figure out how to manually select my starting line up it seems I have to ask one of my assistants to select it. Is there any way I can do it myself?

When you go to the pre-game preview, you should have an option labelled "Team Selection" and then it's just a matter of dragging the players names over to the position you want them in on the XI on the right. Just right mouse click on the dropdown arrow next to a players name to add him to the bench.

Holiday them.

Into 2012/13 now, managing Aston Villa, got an awesome team, just bought some young Brazilian from Rubin, cant remember his name, but he was my only signing for the summer despite my 58M pound kitty. Dzeko, Balotelli, Agbonglahor and Delfuoneso are my strikeforce and they score a plenty.

Balotelli is a twat though, he hasnt shown up for 4 training sessions, so of course i fine him, but he gets angry at me fining him and wants to leave, so i put him for sale at 15M, no fucker wants him, so im stuck with him.

Was managing England as well, qualified easily for Euro 2012, won all my games in the Group Stage 2-1, beat Poland 6-1 in the Qtr, Holland 2-0 in the semi, and Denmark 5-1 in the final, Gabby and Rooney got 6 goals each to share the Golden Boot and Rooney got PotTourney. Resigned to focus on Villa now.

So I am with West Brom and I am currently in my first season with them in the Championship (FM 2010) Bought Carl Valeri and he has been great for me, scoring loads of free kicks and getting loads of assists.

I've also bought a Chilean striker named Humberto Suazo whose been a revelation.

West Brom are currently in first on 21 points after 10 games and look good for promotion.

Need a good new centre back whose quite cheap but will be good enough for the Premier Legaue. Any suggestions?

Finally got sick of my RB and DM getting progressively worse at defending (but better at attacking and physical stats) and looked at their training. They were fucking set to goalkeeping! So that's another thing I can't trust my assistant with then.
