briggaman Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Is there anywhere I can donload this direct to my computer for less than £20? I want to play it tonight. If not then I will just get it from Amazon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Just a quick one Andy....Downing pace 14 seems harsh? when he motors, there's barely a defender in a league who can catch him....thoughts? I'd of thought 16/17 would have been a lot fairer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Got to the JPT final 8) Lost the first leg at home 2-1 against Peterborough then and turned them over 4-1 on their own patch! Get in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd of thought 16/17 would have been a lot fairer. I think his acceleration is pretty high which means he can motor past defenders in his initial burst and then should be quick enough to leave them in his wake........that said, there are a lot of players in the DB with high numbers in pace and acceleration.

Milfner Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I think it should be the other way round, like a higher pace, but a slower acceleration... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 I see him as being really quick off the mark a bit like Bale when he knocks it past players into the space in behind and goes after it. Pretty sure I've not really changed that part of his profile since he came from Boro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted March 23, 2011 Moderator Share Posted March 23, 2011 Don't know if it's been covered in here but I feel Darren Bent's stats around finishing could be stronger too. Maybe his composure may not be as high - he does miss chances - but he misses far too many sitters for me. Certainly if you look at his goalscoring in recent seasons it would suggest he'd be more lethal than Jermain Defoe but on FM he's a beast and DB is middle of the road.

Barry_Static Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Third season I took over championship Wigan after leaving Villa mid way through my second season when I was on a massive decline. Managed to sell off a load of dead weight and reserves for £5.75m. Bought in Ryan Taylor 900k, Snodgrass £2.2m, Keita £2m, Macheda £700k loan. Walked the championship no problem. Macheda scoring 32 goals. Got a Wembley date in the FA Cup semi where I got destroyed 4-0 by Liverpool. Start of the Premiership I have sold off El-Hadji Diouf £1m, Boyce £1m, Kirkland £1m, Nicu £3.4m, Salatic £2.2m. Bought in Kieran Richardson Free, Cleverly Free, Gibson £3m, Onouha £2.1m, Steven Taylor £1.2m, Mignolet £800k and Macheda 900k loan. My squad, hoping to survive, if not I'll move on again if the chance comes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, yeah, was just more looking at other players and seeing them being just as quick as Downing seemed ridiculous. Although I guess, far more on their part rather than yours.

Sunderland researchers work, he will be re assessed in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, yeah, was just more looking at other players and seeing them being just as quick as Downing seemed ridiculous. Although I guess, far more on their part rather than yours. If you take some of the tall central defenders as an example they may be as quick as Downing at full tilt but it takes them a while to get up to that sort of pace. Far too many players in the DB with Acceleration and Pace at the same level which makes no real sense (e.g a player with pace 1 may well have acceleration 20) or just generally too quick because it is easy to see 10 as a minimum as opposed to being the average.

dudevillaisnice Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 AndyClarke I have a question; how does the "predicted league position finish" work on a team? like when I chose a team it says "predicted something (don't know exact wording to it as I dont have FM open)"... Ours was 7th on this year's FM.. I presume it changes on how the team finish overall within a season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I am Yeovil by the way and my team is shit but I do have 2nd best defence in league! Just planning for mid-table this season and then build next season. I hope. Don't know whether you need help or not but I'll give it anyway.. for League 1 I recommend Adrian Fernandez and Ahmed Soukouna.. both free and both cheap wages.. Fernandez on the right wing, 6 appearances, 3 assists, 1 goal (only for League not including cups). Soukouna (ST) - 7 appearances, 10 goals, 3 assists. I also recommend getting Nathan Baker + Bruma on Loan.. and Connor Clifford for midfield. Borini is also a good shout, he is decent too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicMarlon Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Just started my 2nd season with Villa with the new patch. Got off to a nightmare start in the Community Shield against United, 4-0 down inside half an hour, but it turned into my greatest FM comeback ever. http://i53.tinypic.com/2rw2fqw.jpg 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
