We should get a game going on the network.

**Huckerbys right foot** · 30-10-2006, 06:46 PM

i agree with Olzy - make a FM forum

anyway i really am getting annoyed with Chelsea - im Inter Milan - not doing to bad but i keep getting Chelsea wanting Adriano and trying to unsettle him

**Oliver_Kahn** · 30-10-2006, 06:48 PM

You're not the only one...they are doing the same with Podolski.

**Olzy** · 30-10-2006, 07:10 PM

its annoying when clubs always enquire or make bids for players about 100 x times.

More than just unsettling the players its having to keep rejecting etc even though on one settings reject all offers for the player.

drives me nuts.

**Oliver_Kahn** · 30-10-2006, 07:18 PM

And other thing, the game is against the players.

I'll explain, for one of us to sign a player is very complicated, for example:
- I offered 20m for Persie and it was rejected, then he was sold for 12m, 6 months after (wtf ?!);
- Just to experiement, I offered 75m for Chivu and it was rejected (!!!!)
- Sevilla acepted 35m from R Madrid for Dani Alves, but he rejected the contract. Then I offered 35m for him, 3 days later, and it was rejected....I had to give 49 (!!!) for them to accept!

**azzurri** · 30-10-2006, 07:28 PM

I noticed that too, the rejecting 100x part. Really gets annoying, especially since they dont improve their offer, just send the same 1 over and over.

I hear that a relationship with a manager can effect your bid being accepted. It sounds like a bug though, it'll get sorted with a patch.

no its supposed to, in the 06 version when i was managing utd i built a good relationship with mcclaren so i signed downing off him quite cheap (hes good in the game) and when mcclaren accepted it said his good relationship with me influenced him slightly

**Huckerbys right foot** · 30-10-2006, 09:02 PM

another bug in the game is when Rooney gets suspended for England ..he never comesback from Suspension

hopefully will be sorted out when the patch comes out

**Olzy** · 16-11-2006, 07:24 PM

I've noticed that.... it's well easy to get England job

if you put a time limit on their response, then some clubs dont like that...

that might be the reason...

**Jager** · 16-11-2006, 08:59 PM

What I do with teams asking for my players over and over, is ask for an outrageous amount of money, then they back off. Keep it private though.

I just got fired again, but they let me manage in a lower division for awhile.

The game is just nasty, I was doing really well, then it became near impossible to win ANYTHING. Very fustrating. Not really sure what to do, but this is one of the toughest games that I have ever played.

This I do know....

Rotation of lineup is crucial, and if you can't give players time, send them down to your U21 team..in Italy...or reserves in England. So they are match fit.

Also use your asistants for team reports. Praise players, and give them disipline or tell them you expect more.

I will start from scratch yet again. Bound to get it right, sooner or later.

i was two games away from the end of the first season...

was first, 4 points in front of arsenal, who had a game in hand, but guess who i have last game of the season?!?

le arse..

lo and behold, shock horror, i managed to draw against blackburn, as they get one get an equaliser in the 89th minute after not playing very well and having a man sent off, arsenal breeze through all their games, and ended up in second place a point behind le arse and had to beat them on the last day of the season to win the title...

went 2-0 up in the game...

ashley young and dean ashton with the goals...

was flying and arsenal hadnt had a shot on target in the whole of the first half...

told the lads not to let their performances drop and straight after the restart, arsenal get a penalty and make it 2-1...

the rest of the game was even, with chances at both ends, but lo and behold, in the 89th minute, theo walcott scores the equaliser and le arse win the title...

this game can be so predictable at times...

*sigh*

this is my tactic and side about 15 games into my second season... top of prem, top of my champions league group and unbeaten all season...

im playing an attacking counter attacking 4-4-2 formation that doubles up as a 4-2-4 formation...

i tightly mark the opposition and play a fairly quick game with a fair bit of width...

i close down fairly often, and mix my passing up...

i mix up the individual player instructions depending on the player and his abilities...

**kyan** · 16-11-2006, 09:31 PM

fkin hell, ashton, young, johnson, bridge, lennon, marcelo, anton ferdinand...

where did u get all that money from!?

NJ10 · 16-11-2006, 09:38 PM

What does Gareth Bale go like in his 2nd season?

i signed him for Liverpool, he's spending the season at Sunderland. i have high hopes for him.

Vanden Borre from Anderlecht is an excellent, cheap signing as well.

have u had some kind of takeover at Villa then?
