Ot - fm 2011

Hi Guys, been playing FM 2011, and started with Everton. Sold Gueye for £6m in the first season, and bought, Falcao, Chamberlain, Addison, Shawcross, Lukaku, Roux, De Sutter. I finished 3rd in the Premier League, Semi's in the League Cup and won the FA! Just started 2nd Season, and beat Man.U 5-4 on Penalties to win the FA Community Shield! Impressed?

 

More impressed in how you managed to afford all that with £6m...

 

Where did Everton get the money!

No-one tell Moyes

 

How could you afford all those players on Everton's budget??

 

Got £9m Second Season, and adjusted the budgets a bit. Boro' got Promoted, Toon won the Derbies and Finished above the Scum!

 

I sense a bit of lying going on here

 

i call bull ****ing ****e

 

Hmmmm Everton get no money on FM and £6mil wouldnt even buy falcao's headband .....

 

You can get Falcao for 10m (pre update), not sure how low they go.

 

Is FM good enough to predict the riots and looting and old Kenwright borrowed a JCB and took out several cash points in the Liverpool city centre?

 

Someone's been playing with the editor...

 

When is the next one coming out? I'm moving to Oxford in October so i'll be taking over them AND Nufc. Send out a few loan lads to Oxford and watch them progress. I actually can't wait.

Greatest FM achievement? Got Stevenage into the PL inside seven seasons, won them the Champs League after four seasons in the EPL and then the game crashed.

Great.

 

On fm2008, I won the league with Everton and then got relegated the next season. They did have a great team in that edition though!!

 

New one's out before Christmas it says. Doesnt specify a date.

 

What???!!!

Is this Everton(11.3 patch) ??? I HAD to sell Saha and a couple of fringe players to BUY players.. and even then it wasn't a lot.. How did you get these sort of players??? I suspet a couple of cheat codes.. mmm...

 

Best for me.

Managed to Ayr United relegated twice and finish 2nd bottom of Division 3. Managed to get a ton of Uruguayan players on loans and free's, paying them about £100 per week and won promotion to the SPL in successive seasons.

Board allowed me to spend a max of £265 per week on players so went back to Uruguay and got a scout into Africa.

Just avoided relegation first season in the top tier and raided Africa of top (and very cheap) talent costing £190 per week.

Finished 2nd in the league, into Europe and played Newcastle in the knock out stages. Win the first game 1-0 and then drew 1-1 at SJP. Newcastle out . Went onto qualify for the group stages where I drew Bayern Munich, Lyon and Juventus.

I was hammered by them all but still remained 3rd/4th in the league whilst losing badly in Europe.

Fired for a run of bad results.

Bastards.

 

There's always a way to get more money, release players on big wages/ask the board for more money/pay in installments etc. That's how I afforded Benzema, Ruiz, Srna and Gervinho in first season

 

I live in Oxford and did pretty much exactly the same thing with the current FM! It really is a good challenge and great fun!

 

That sounds like an unbelievable journey.

How the Hell could they sack you after that? Would you ever return ala KK?

I love how you got relegated first of all too, that shows commitment to the casue. So much more fun when you achieve something like that.

 

Currently doing a St.Johnstone save and I'm in my third season now. 1st season was very average(ended 10th), 2nd season went VERY well though.. I got off to a cracking start in the league & somehow managed to end 2nd AND qualify for Europe! Liam Craig & Febian Brandy were my star men. Brandy scored 30 in 35 apps(shows the quality of the SPL to be honest..) and Liam Craig(played him at LM.. but is a natural CM) made 36 apps 16 goals(mostly pens) AND 17 assists with a average rating of 7.26. Now in my third season(currently in Dec 9th 2012) got knocked out of BOTH European cups(Kiev/Basel respectively).. BUT I'm 2nd in the table with Rangers in 1st(3 points behind them)... mmm... OH and guess who I got on a free in the summer to partner Brandy... SHOLA AMEOBI!!! 13 apps 2 goals 4 assists and 6.95 rating..

interesting just been approached by Wigan(currently 6th in the EPL.. wow & they sacked Martinez... wtf???).. They've offered me a budget of 7.5m.. mmm.. should I take it? They have some average players but I could make them into a Europa League outfit with that money if I wheel & deal... What should I do? Tempting.. I want to win the SPL with St.Johnstone if I'm honest!
