Moderator Tommy Posted January 30, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 30, 2022 Started my 3rd season with Wellington Phoenix, and shit's hard man. Almost no money to spend, they have a salary cup I never knew about, and most of my good players wanting to leave. So I rely on players from my own youth system and free signings. Managed to get a decent squad together for the new season, but it's not exactly great in depth. Also had to change my tactic to something with a bit less intensity, so I won't have too many injuries or exhausted players by the end of the season. Last season I had a good run where I was top of the table for a long time, but in the end we faltered, mainly due to exhaustion due to my high intensity tactics. Had a good start to the new season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Started a save with Alta, who are the most northern team in the world, located deep in the Arctic. They're in the 3rd tier of Norwegian football and my goal is to take them to the top domestically, and then progress through the group stage of the Champions League which would be (if my research is right) the furthest that any Norwegian club has been in Europe. They've also got 39 year old Morten Gamst Pederson, and two stadia (one outdoor, and the other indoor for when the outdoor pitch is thick with snow). Won promotion in my first season by winning the league (expected to be mid-table) and was top of the second tier up until about 8 games to go and we collapsed, winning none and slipping to 7th, just outside the play-off places. Really enjoying it though I must say, he was only with us for 6 months but I managed to sign Carlos Tevez on £250 a week, made his debut in a game with -17° conditions . Got homesick and went back to Argentina after a few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeKhrush Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Bought FM22 for myself for my Bday, I suppose I could do the fab and play with El-Newcastle, or just do my regular playthrough with Bayer Leverkusen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 15 games gone; 7 wins, 7 defeats and a draw. As you'd expect we are right in the middle of the table, 8 points from relegation and 8 points from 1st place. Being semi professional and having £0 to spend, I do get the feeling that's it's going to take a stroke of luck for us to hit the Premier League. I'm also a bit worried that the board will start to expect too much, as they want the playoffs next season and I just don't think we're ready yet. Still having fun though, if a bit frustrated at our inconsistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeKhrush Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 the learning curve from champ manager is quite a step up. I'm about a third into my season with NUFC doing pretty well given low expectations. the media hates me for signing cheap players that average over 7.0 per game. in: Burns 2m Pape Cisse 2m Trippier 20m/3years John McGinn (swap for Fraser) Guimaraes 38m/3 years Burns 25m / 3 years out: Ritchie 3m Clark 3m Gillespie 1m Almiron 20m Gayle loan Hendricks loan Fernandez loan I play a few old-school tactics 4-1-3-2 or 4-3-1-2 narrow possession tactics or 5-3-2 if I have fatigue and need to play second lines. Jacob Murphy as a WB can be a life hack. Guimaraes/Hayden/McGinn first line Willock/Shelvey/Longstaff second line. Burns is a goal machine, overload crosses in and he is a hand full on the air, Wilson is also a goal machine but better at through balls. need a left back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Dan+ Posted February 8, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted February 8, 2022 I seem to be nailing it with tactics this year. Dunno if it's just overplaying the game but I'm finding it quite easy to get the right formula. Happened at both Deportivo and now Terengganu.

Whiskey Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Taking a break from FM, ended up having a shocker in Season 3 and sitting in the relegation places. Despite starting so well with Alta, we just went into freefall. To be totally honest I think I relied a bit too much on my scouts for signing new players, which was a mistake considering we're semi pro - the new players I brought seemed to all be pretty shite and take us backwards. Got pulled into the dreaded sacking meeting and agreed to resign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
