adw95 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 The first thing I do on a new game is sack all the staff, overhaul my training set-up and ask for my facilities to be improved. Even as Villa? With the best facilities? I may overhaul a lot of staff after my first season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) Anybody else noticed alot of players getting yellow cards and injuries? I had delph get sent of two games in succession with a straight red card for horror tackles so i fined him 2 weeks wages and he isn't happy Got Honda in anyway so i doubt he will be getting back in the first team again for a while Edited November 22, 2013 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although i dont sack them all straight away i definitely replace them all eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like defensive options etc. I tend to just get whoever adds the most changes to do it for me, is there a better way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I have no idea how I'm doing it/what is going on but I'm 8 points clear at the top of the Championship after 26 games with Yeovil in the first season. Paddy Madden is an absolute tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchard Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) First conceding from corners, now its late goals, anyone got any tips to combat these before I smash the laptop up again Finished 7th in my first season and can't do anything to bring my team to match those standards this season. I had this problem - if I've got a narrow lead going into the ten minutes I tend to change my shouts to much lower tempo and go narrower (and anything else to do with slowing the game down). It's the McLeish way but unlike in real life, it seems to work in FM. Edited November 22, 2013 by Pilchard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just set differently depending on what tactic, suppose you'd have to watch the games and change what you feel needs changing. If they're good fullbacks i like to just keep it simple and let them play to their attributes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Automatic promotion with Yeovil first season, get in! £11m and 120k p/w wage budget though. Yikes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmons Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Unofficial Aston Villa update. If it ruins your game, gives you a virus or anything else, don't blame me Thanks Andy! Will be on it asap... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avflife Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Unreal 2nd season with Villa, qualified for the CL with 3 games remaining, possibly can still finish 2nd as well behind an unreal Arsenal side. Also if you want a goalscorer Jordan Rhodes is a machine for me, 25 goals this season and still has another 3 games to make the magical 30 mark.

Milfner Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I've got a few but nowhere near enough. Went up too soon, squad was so weak and I'm suffering for it now. Got Harry Maguire, Jake Cassidy, Jeff Hendrick, Lee Hodson, Jamie Paterson and a few others but nowhere near good enough. The wages is the tough bit. Everyone wants around 10k and it just adds up so quickly with a wage budget so small. Spent most of my budget on wages, so could barely spend anything on players.

Avflife Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Managing Villa must be one of the hardest challenges on FM, no money in the first season, then again none in the second and after qualifying for the CL only 9m, plus the fact you get least than 50% made from transfers; lucky I'm quality at the game then Edited November 24, 2013 by Avflife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyClarke Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 It is definitely a good challenge, I think it does reflect the difficult job Lambert has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Kept Yeovil up by two points, probably one of my best/most enjoyable achievements. Buzzing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Kept United up, was 10 points off safety when I took over (November) and ended up 22 points clear, although when I tried changing some things with the board they said my performance had been poor (because the position wasn't high enough) even though I took nearly 2 points per game on average. I hate how the game looks at form/position before you joined and blame you when you don't win everything!!!!! This is my team to try for promotion. Not one player from the crap I had when I joined!
