Daniel Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) I use my assistant manager for that most of the times. If they're losing/drawing at half time, ill go assertive/aggressive "not happy with performance". Try and get an assistant manager with good motivating attributes. I also let him do interviews and tunnel interviews. If you're talking about communicating with unhappy players with contract issues and such, then yeah, that can be a guessing game with how they can react. I just want to get on watching and managing the games as the interviews/player interaction side of things is something that needs looking at.

villa4europe Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 yeah thats same as me, i keep an eye out for my assistant "i've got nothing to say" or whatever it is after winning 9-0 at the nou camp but other than that i let him do most of the talking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Well, January rolls round and Chelsea have bid £9m for Grealish. I reject, he's thrown his toys out the pram and put in a transfer request. It begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) I sold grealish to Leicester for £16m. He's ok , but Jaden sancho was available for £20m, so no brainer to make the swap. Also managed to sneak 50% on next transfer on grealish deal. With the amount some of these players are getting bought for, this years game is worth trying to add that clause into every transfer you can. Easy money.

The transfer system on FM is absolute dogshit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate communicating with my players too, they react it completely different ways I expect normal humans too. signed nathan ake once i got promoted as easily my highest paid player on c.£55k p/w. 3 months into the season he wants a new contract. i said he had plenty of time left and he threw his toys out of the pram. into my 3rd season and he's still pissed off. whilst i cant claim to know the true mentalities of football players, surely this is unrealistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got injured their first game XD James Bree was next, Newcastle brought him for 10m and 30% sell on after his head was turned. Managed to get Nathanial Clyne on loan til the end of the season as a replacement so happy days. Also loaned Divock Oriji who's out of contract the end of the season, so hoping he'll play well and I can grab him when I'm promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Trying to play Eastleigh up to the PL atm. Just started, but the fixture list in Vanaranama (or something), is **** stupid. I have a 10 day break, then I get a cup match, then 2 days later I get a league matches. Impossible to keep players fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately he wanted a move to a 'bigger' club (i.e. Premier League club). Got the future fee clause in though. That will be standard on all sales.

KenjiOgiwara Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Think I will finish my first season with Eastleigh tonight. Looks like I will scrape the playoffs. Not sure how the club can survive without a promotion though. I started with £1 k transfer budget, have made about £50 k in cups, only signed 5-7 freebies, yet I am £ 200 k in the red.

KenjiOgiwara Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 There are a few aspects of starting a game way down with clubs like Eastleigh that's very weird. You basically have to build everything. While that's kinda cool in itself, I wonder atm. whether for instance spending money on sending coaches on new coaching lisences is money well spent. Won't they just get poached by other club, thus it's a waste of money? Kind of annoying with 33-34 years old being your biggest earners and you transfer list them, drop them and they refuse to join clubs and want to "see out their contract", and after you then demote them to the U23 they throw a massive fit.
