Off Topic Football Manager 2022

FA Cup 5th round v Leeds Utd 7-1 win whilst resting some key players with Joelinton replacing a tired Vlahovic, 3 days after League Cup Final win v Liverpool. Lad only rocks up and slams 5 past Leeds taking his season stats to 16 goals in 12 games (mainly sub).

Steve Bruce was ****ing **** the guys lethal

 

Sounds like my wife when I get dragged out shopping.

 

What a game that was!
Who remembers Kevin Keegans player manager?

 

It was Sensible world of soccer for me. That was the peak.

 

Nah, not having any of this ****e. I just won the domestic treble as Newcastle, with no cheats, staying within FFP and even had Joelinton as a 20 goal a season striker as an impact sub on FM22.

I AM THE ASHINGTON ALEGRI

 

I’ve got fm 22 but not started playing it yet. Gonna give it a bash this afternoon.

 

Tactic I used was one I made up but in first season won treble.

won 29 drew 4 lost 4

beat the scousers in league cup final and fa cup final and they finished 2nd in the league.......Klop doesn't have a high opinion of me.

Vlahovic as a pressing forward is a beast, 32 goals in 32 games. Wilson Advanced forward got 25 in 32, Adeyemi (youngun) got 15 in 32 as the right sided pressing forward in a 4-3-3.

 

Kicked off the new one last night.
Done a Liverpool save.
I Beat watford, man utd, palace and wolves.

You lot have new saudi owner in the game. Listed as rich and just appointed genaro gattuso as manager, his only transfer in was barkley from the chavs so far.

 

FFP is a bit of a twat initially in my save. sign a player sell a player required. Don't like the fact they don't take the prize money at end of season into account on the projections. If I'd known that I would have bought another LWB in the Jan window as the tactic I use is hard on the WB's. Half decent teams tore Lewis apart when Guirerro was needing a rest.

 

Im not sure ffp is even a thing in the xbox version

Only had 38m to play with so bought frankc kessie for 30m upfront to cover Fabinho and sold Origi to ac milan for 28m.

When it comes to finding players i just google it
https://www.google.com/amp/s/outsid...backs-lb-lwb-with-high-potential-to-sign/amp/

 

I got Gedson Fernandez from Benfica for £8m and he's turned into an key player for me. Trippier has been really good and Guerreiro has probably been my best player. Vlahovic is just a goal machine too

 

Ill have a look.

Im after an attacking cm next, fans got all pissy cos i bought kessie and they think were overloaded with defensive players, plus my only real attacking cms are ox, curtis jones and Minamino, i dont count kieta cos hes a fukin bit of glass

Not happy that elliots injury is included, 7 months ffs

 

What formation you using? I went with a narrow 4-3-3 with 1 BBM in the centre with a mez either side. Just signed Bentancur for £15m and he's scoring for fun from the BBM role with a support duty, Fernandez is good in either the BBM or Mez role. I retrained ASM and Almiron into the Mez roles and ASM chips in with goals.

 

Wide 433

Im only 4 games in so didnt tinker too much apart from changing the dm role from deep lying playmaker on support to anchor man to cover the fullbacks which i changed to complete wingbacks on attacking.

Ive two solid 2 dms in Fabinho and kessie with the option to play a 4231 when i get my hands on a decent CAM and a proper striker.

All very boring and geeky but thats cool

 

Vlahovic for about £45m in a pressing forward role mate. banged 32 league goals in 32 games in first season.

 

Fm 22 right? Has it been out on steam for longer or summin?

 

Early access was a couple of weeks ago on Steam mate. I play it on laptop.

 

Gotcha

 

You paid £40 for it?

 

Think I was £30 for the early access. they had £5 or £10 off for buying it early.
