Rovers13 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Does Benteke get hurt a lot in this? I keep seeing things about him picking up injuries, and in the save I did (not as villahe got 3 different severe injuries and only played 4 games for Villa the first season. (Villa amazingly still came fourteenth, and all 3 promoted sides stayed up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Just come back from a 4 month injury in mine, but other than that he seems fine with injuries. Already bored of this game tbh, its the same every year. Great run of form and then 20th place comes to walk over you 2-3 nil regardless of tactics. Decided to go 2d aswell the match engine is just so painful to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Im now in march and still in 6th spot at villa. Recovered from Benteke buggering off to Dortmund by buying Alcacer, Ings and Ince. Wiemann is shite fo me, luckily Gabby and Kozak are playing well. I havent been able to get rid of Given, Hutton or Nzogbia yet. I have played all 3 though as I like to rotate my players Didn't want Hutton in my side at all so got rid for £500k. I had no takers. To be fair he averages of 7.00 so im happy with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted November 12, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) First season with Villa and finished second!!! Once you find a good formation it's quite easy. Here's what I play. Luna is awesome. Looks like he's going to win player of the year! Oh and Helenius is awesome!

villa4europe Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 been messing about on it, playing lots of games as different teams trying different stuff, been both Madrid and barca, Ronaldo / neymar / messi have all been awful, messi got 12 goals in a season and neymar 9 (won the league and CL too...)

Cliffy Biro Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Second is amazing in the first season, managed 3rd in the beta but looking at 7-8th in my first year of the full game. I'm trying a possession game though which maybe villa aren't that well suited to, i assume you're playing pretty direct there pieface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 i was looking round last night for a tactic to solve my barca problem and stumbled across this guy using villa as his guinea pig - http://www.footballmanagerstory.com/best-fm-2014-tactics-surprising-4-3-3/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Thats the formation i'm using but different roles and instructions. Impressed with anyone who can finish top 4 with villa in the first season with their own tactics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 First two games with Villa: Battered by Albion 4-1 despite have 25 shots and then beat Southampton 3-1 and then Benteke and Sylla are out for 2 months. Yay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Still bringing in younger players, seems to be bearing fruit.. I have been buying for league one already. Hope it doesn't all fall apart! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 2019 at the moment, feels like I have been playing it for much longer though! I have rejected a few high profile jobs, really want to get Plymouth to the prem and I want to do it by building like Norwich did (through the leagues). Bank balanace has gone from £500k to £2m and I have already decided to sell my target man at the end of the season to finance my next push.

Dodgyknees Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Let me know how it goes. I get a lot of joy from lower league and will start another one up on FMC as soon as they announce a bloody Vita release! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) Finally got out of the Conference with Lincoln, after my 6th season. **** me is that the hardest league i've ever played! Got a couple of good young players coming through, basically I just want to have a setup like Crewe, rely on the youth system.

MessiWillSignForVilla Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Thats the formation i'm using but different roles and instructions. Impressed with anyone who can finish top 4 with villa in the first season with their own tactics! Currently on course for 5th in the first season with my own tactic, though that is due to some huge shuffling in the playing staff, so my team isn't quite Villa's starting squad.

JW7494 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Anyone else have trouble keeping Benteke? Just as I start to build a decent team & he scores 32 goals in 43 games, he puts in a transfer request... Any recomended strikers to replace him?
