Dodgyknees Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Fighting at the top of league two in my Eastleigh game, focusing on bringing in young players from higher up and getting them in the team - whilst flogging those on bigger wages.

bobzy Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I've clocked in my Berwick save that a couple of Villa players are now at Celtic and Rangers. Hopefully not a sign of things to come?! Celtic: Rushian Hepburn-Murphy (absolute goal machine in Scotland, top scorer each of the last 4 seasons), Andre Green and Aaron Tshibola Rangers: Jack Grealish and Jordan Lyden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Max Gradel has just left Bournemouth for a Chinese club for the reasonable sum of £33m and £170k a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I've picked this up now. Top of the Championship in November. Rolling Bree (1.8m) at RB, Hourihane (2.7m) at CM with Matty James (4m) next to him. Ayew is 13 games played 13 goals. Andre Green has 5 goals and 5 assists from AML. Grealish has no goals and 1 assist. Bench for him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Doing an experiment at the moment with a game. I'm playing Burton Albion, 22nd in the league, -13 goal difference. I saved before the game and played it out. 7 games later I'm yet to win, have drew 0-0 4 times, lost 1-0 twice and lost 2-1 once. I've scored once in 7 games. 3 sendings off, about 21 yellow cards and 2 missed penalties. I'm trying numerous formations and tactics but I just can't win this game. I'm beginning to think I never will. Cheating AI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Gone on a bit of a 'boring' spell lately. Dragging out 1-0 wins. Finding it really hard to score at the moment. Koj hasn't scored in 10 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The frequency at which a big favorite fumbles at home to relegation fodder is a bit overdone. There are ways to avoid, through squad personality, media, team talk. Busting the complacency bubble without turning them into nervous nellies. Certainly ways to avoid it but yeah. I've started playing defensive mentality at home to shit teams when I feel an upset over the horizon. Usually the team grind and grind then concede from a corner or penalty, but I've actually experienced winning games with 5-6 goals on defensive and contain mentality lately. It should be said I'm beta testing so I'm on a different build but there have been very ME changes of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Does anybody know when the January transfer update usually comes out, is it fairly early in February? I want to start a new save soon but may as well wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante_Lockhart Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 @bobzy What do you mean? I only restarted the Burton game trying different tactics and approaches. Don't generally do it throughout the game to 'get the result I want' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NurembergVillan Posted February 1, 2017 Moderator Share Posted February 1, 2017 Usually best to head to sortitoutsi.com or somewhere and download a community update. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 So I sold Ayew in January for 19m to Everton. Purchased Sakho from Spam who was transfer listed for 6m. He's banged in 15 goals so far and there is 6 games left. Top scorer in the division is Wells with 23. Can I catch him? It's possible! Oh, and Ayew has only started 1 game for Everton and is now unhappy and wants to leave. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Handy if, like me, you are also a fan of motorsports. I just used my voucher to buy the game for half price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Just conceded one of the most frustrating goals i've ever conceded on this game. Playing as Hamburg I was 2-0 down early against Bayern and managed to pull back to 2-2 86th minute my left back gives away a free kick about 30 yards out. The ref books my player and before he allows him to get back into position be lets them take the free kick. The ball is passed into the space where you'd expect my left back to be and slotted home by Muller. Lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted February 19, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 19, 2017 I really want to buy FM 17 on steam but I also really want the current squad, can anyone confirm that there is a winter update (or similar) available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V01 Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 The official update is usually late feb/early march. This guy does an unofficial data update which is usually never more than a week behind any real life changes, currently it's correct as of yesterday.
