    That is ridiculous, I cant ever remember having so many injuries, even with a bigger squad. Have they been fit every game? The lower %age fitness they are I'd guess are more likely to get injured in matches.

    I usually have a squad size of 22 + 3 youngsters and my biggest ever injury list was 5, which hit me hard!

    A load seem to come injured in the update. Haven't really been checking the fitnesses until last few days and most of them are 80%+ now (those that aren;t injured).
    Still haven't totally got to grips with all the functions of the game so any other tips/cool things to do would be greatly appreciated :)

    Sign a big centre half, set Barton to corners, make the big centre half run to front post and get Barton to put it there, Sakho got 15 goals from that for me!

    I wouldnt start a player on lower than 92/93% fitness to be honest, they end up knackered.

    25 squad rule's annoying as well as like 9 of the 25 I selected are injured leaving me with few options. Blooding the youngsters and tbh, they're letting me down. 4 points in 6 games and out the Carling Cup. Sunderland and Blackpool yet to win a game yet though :D

    Ah good idea, that's how Williamson's my top scorer before he got crocked. Now for some reason colo's taking corners and I dunno how to change it. Tried to buy Samba and Hangeland for 7.5m each and Lugano for £3m but the first bids got rejected and Lugano wasnt interested in coming to Newcastle :mad:
    Also, tried to sign Gervinho for £16m and they said no, £24m minimum. Then ****ing Liverpool come in with a big of £16.4m and get him. The bastards!!!

    :\ Suppose but with limited options now I don't have much choice. Viscious cycle.

    This save seems to hate me. Might make it more interesting by adding a manager and destroying sunderland from the inside out. Agent Tom muahahaha

    It was on Twitter: UtdForNewcastle United For Newcastle
    This is what next season's #NUFC shirt (if the 'leaked' one is the real deal) might look like on FIFA 2012.

    The kit there makes it look excellent, hopefully its a dead ringer for the real version!


    Anyway, I have FM11, your making me want to play. I never got into it when I first bought it. I want a nice and easy team to manage in England, any ideas?

    Just finished my 3rd NUFC season on Fifa, won League Cup, FA Cup and the Prem so all is good. Managed round of 16 in Champions League but met Barca and got stuffed (boooo)

    After my planned acquisitions of Holden, Whilshere and Hutton my team should look like this.

    ...............Diego Alves
    Hutton...Samba....Colo..Taiwo

    ........Whilshere......Holden
    .................Ben Arfa
    Gervinho.....................Neymar
    ...................Fred*


    *Frederico Chaves Guedes, for his full name...

    Subs;
    Harper
    Adam
    Vargas
    Barton
    Kranjcar
    Hazard
    Jose

    In a sort of custom 4-3-3 where I've altered 4-2-3-1 by pushing the two DM's up a bit to the CM position, and the RM/LM up a bit to the RW/LW positions. Works lovely.

    Be Spurs, decent squad with lots of strength in depth and some good youngsters, decent budget. Also Jermaine Defoe has been epic for me, scored a hattrick in two consecutive games recently.

    A couple of youngsters I would recommend are Zeli Ismail (works at right mid or up front but is best used as a winger in a 433 system) and Pritveeshal Lashinigadau (spelt something like that) who is a holding midfielder. Played them both in the league cup semi second leg, Ismail scored and won two penalties and Lashinigadou scored one (but that was only because I forget to set a penalty taker beforehand!)

  20. Anyone notice how since Ben Arfa has joined us he's dropped from an 81 to 78/79 on fifa?

    ****s.

    Also Ireland has dropped from a 79 to a 76.
