Football Manager (Man City-centric)
I feel sorry for Mark Hughes. How the fuck do you keep them all happy? I'm scratching my head trying to think of a decent formation...something like a 4-2-6-5 would be nice....

Are you minted? Who have you signed?
I've just started a game as Hibs boss.
It's so hard to find players in my price range though I've started the season with a 0-0 draw with bigots.
Oh and this is in a custom league I've created: 2 x 16 team leagues.
I reckon I can win it. Queen of the South next up!
Best part of £60m.
No one signed yet...I've put in a cheeky £20m bid for Ashley Cole though ;)
I had an initial transfer budget of £150k
:(
I sold Ian Murray to West Brom for £1.4m though so that gave me some more pennies to work with.
:)
piss are you talking about?
Citeh's easy mode. You can sack the whole useless lot of them and just buy your ideal squad, pretty much. Yes some of them will bitch about being on the bench, FARM THEM OUT. Particularly Robinho.
I played the 09 version though, when we were still fairly thin and Richards was hilariously overrated. I bought Kranjcar, Santa Cruz and a Spanish defender I can't remember the name of who was the business. I played 4-1-3-2 away and 4-3-1-2 home. That worked.
Yeah, admittedly I haven't even played a full friendly yet.
I kinda like the idea of mainly keeping the squad together, and somehow trying to get the best out of them, with the odd ridiculous purchase to plug the massively obvious defensive holes. I'm currently experimenting with a 4-1-2-2-1. Great fun!
That's what I play!
right
Zabaleta will want out, don't let him. If you let Johnson play games he will eventually become better than Ireland, but if you can't find space for him move him on. Sell Robinho to Chelsea for a bit of tuck money. Jagielka will solve your defensive difficulties. Really.
I randomly assigned myself Nottingham Forest. I got them into the Premiership at the end of last season. Dom would be proud, although it might have been a mistake; I have never encountered a defence with as many shower-like qualities as Mr. Davies', and I've spunked most of the transfer budget on this 18 year old Belgian.
on my game they spent £12.25m on Lucas Leiva
then lost their first three league games
can't be a coincidence
quite easy really.
you start off looking like Barcelona, then injuries make most of the decisions for you, you leave your best player out to accomodate another midfield clogger, and quickly turn into the new Blackburn.

looks familiar
just started a game as city
as liverpool were depressing me, much like real life, just signed chivu & defour need a cheap young goalie aswell as back up for shay
I'm a city fan <3
I really want this game. But I've got no fucking space on my laptop. Depressing.
The demo just crashed my laptop. I had a killer team on 09. Who are the stars on this years version then? Jovetic? Wilshere?
Etien Velikonja
<3
never heard of him before
so i googled him. Really like his youtube video.

He finishes like David Villa. I like that.
I am in love with him.
12 goals in 10 games.
Only cost £600k.
if i get rich and famous in real life
i might buy him myself
Can you buy him and give him to me?
Cheers.
of course man
you asked first.
is Vagner Love still an unstoppable goal machine?
future stars:
hamsik
sakho
pjanic
balotelli
kroos
salvio (lanus)
otamendi
galvan (cruz azul)
marchisio
sissoko (toulouse)
what about that keeper from CSKA Moscow?
akinfeev? he's already a star
i've been signing hamsik for about 4 champies now
he's old news
all of them apart from salvio, otamendi and galvan got good on FM09...need more new FM10 stars please.
the only other one with "-10" potential (i.e. potential of between 170 and 199 at game start)
is alphonse areola, a keeper at lyon
afraid there's no other new stars in the database. you can always add them in if you like, make 'em up
fm-pro
know all about the -10 stuff and so on.
Surprised there's so few new stars in the game. Hurry up football world!
in second season with newcastle (fm10)
won the championship with a miserly defense and inept attack, currently trying to build a premier league standard squad on £30m despite having £4m in the bank
awesome
city is easy play
just sack anyone you don't like and buy someone better
Do I buy this?
I desperately need some new footwear but this seems so much more appealing, I'm also still playing a really old CM game, see if you can guess which one.
3rd season with Blackpool in the first division, I'm looking for promotion this year...
Atmanzidis (c)
Doig
Handyside
Eriksson-Olsson
Milanese
Finnan
Costinha
Paulinho Santos
Kallstrom
Wilhelmsson
Beckett
It's not very challenging, old CM pros should get this almost instantly.
00/01?
nearly, 01-02
:)
my leeds team just decided to become full out thugs
i've had like 5 red cards in three matches in a row. and i'm on something like a four match losing streak.
still, i won league 1 and now i'm fourth in the championship next season. can't complain really. beckford scored something stupid like 24 goals in 20 games and then went and got himself injured for two months. arrgh!
*not five red cards in each match.
i should proof read my posts or something
is FM10 good?
I'm still playing 08
09 was awesome
and my friend's have said 10 is much better than that. I played the demo briefly too - the tactics creator is fantastic.
I bought this today.
I'm so fucked.
You think you're out, but they pull you back in.
It's like dirty computer heroin
I'm managing Llanelli. We're in 2012, and we've just drawn with PSV 0-0 away in a champions league qualifier. We have a team of Brazillians who have second EU-friendly nationalities; and free transfer mercenaries who are only in it for the cash.
It's FM 2007. Anything later than 2008 and my PC would keel over and die.
yeah
best in 10 years
love Heurelio Gomes.
huh, look
