Laivasse Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I loaned out my young hot prospect CB/defensive mid to small heath. He played 10 games and now his personal info says he's a bluenose He was also suffering from a virus. He literally came back contaminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rino8 Posted April 19, 2012 Visiting Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2012 Personally I don't have much use for the more defensive strategies like 'Counter' and 'Contain'. I hardly ever select anything more Defensive than 'Standard' even when playing on the counter, because much like real life, soaking up pressure is just asking for one of your defenders to screw up.I've found some use for counter when you're relegation candidate type teams, normally it'd be something I use if I'm a newly promoted team against one of the top 4, it gets varied results though. I've won some games 1-0, 3-1 etc. And then got absolutely hammered other times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So essentially they work sometimes when you're managing (or playing against) some real cloggers who simply can't attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a post about team talks a few pages back. They are a tricky thing in fm12. Most people i know just leave it to the assistant manager, but seeing as they can influence the players i do them myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 ive found that because you are a no mark most of the players dont care or react negatively to your team talks until you actually do something, playing as barca for example all of the big names switched off but the youth were positive, so i just let the assistant do it, after xmas once id won a bit and got them playing well i started doing it and getting positive reactions just dont ever click on the assistant if he says nothing needs addressing, they hate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i make a new manager i always set the past experience to "international footballer" The only time i had something like that was with Barcelona. It took one season and a trophy or two before they started reacting to my team talks. This is my team talks from a champions league game. http://i43.tinypic.com/6qwtok.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/mrwwnd.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/28guv42.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Gabby is scoring for fun in my save, and Bent is banging them in. N'Zog has got 12 assists so far in the league too and it's only just gone into December. Joaquin is storming about, got him for 3.2m and he's been immense. Ath. Madrid are now interested in him and his value has gone up to 4.5m. If they offer 7m+ I'd be inclined to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I'm ten games into the 2014/2015 season, I'm 5th, on joint points with 4th and 3rd place. I lost to Man City, on penalties, in the League Cup Final last season, but I've just beaten them 3-1 at home in the last 16! I'm in the group stages of the Europa League and I have £15m left to spend in the January window (I'm in need of a central midfielder, because mine are playing too many games in quick succession!) My team is slowly turning into the under 21 French side. I have a CM, AMC, CB & ST that are all French gens with 4.5 stars potential. Oh, also, I have Teves on a £100k p/w contract, with £100k appearance fee and £100k goal bonus :winkold: .... Luckily for Me, he just got injured for 2 months. That'll save a few pennies!!

rhyscartwright_avfc Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Lucky? You're paying £100k p/w to someone who cannot kick a ball for you for 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's okay though, I've been taken over by some French billionaire, so I'm well within my wage budgets (somehow!!) It's not lucky at all, because he played 4 games and scored about 7 goals, but at least my other strikers get a chance to score some goals now!

rhyscartwright_avfc Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 You playing as Villa? Never seen them be took over by anyone else except Krulak, and he's got no **** money whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Yeah I'm Villa, I've been taken over by some French chap called Charles Villennueve... or something like that. I got £29m to spend with a top half finish. I could have pushed it to 'Euro Cup qualification' and had £35m to spend, but I wimped out! Fellow VTer 'paddywhack' got taken over by the fans and now he gets £1.50 per transfer window! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaGoMarching Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Currently playing this on my iphone, slightly dumbed down version but enjoying it none the less, Just did a challange of save a club from relegation, i chose Villa, managed to stay up on the last day of the season, on goal difference (we live in hope eh?) Now i got the option to continue with this career so i'm in season 2012/13, and basically need to rebuild the Villa with a measly sum of £7mill. I'm really only gonna try and rebuild the defence for now, so any recommendations for premier league level defenders? i struggled through with a back line of Cuellar/Dunne/Collins/Warnock. seemed to create enough with a 4-2-3-1 formation but still leaked goals.

Dante_Lockhart Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 For a right back on the cheap look for Bandalovski. Left back you can usually pick up Kolorov from City for 3m as he is unhappy. For CB I put in Clark as he develops really well and will be your captain soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
