Dodgyknees Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 God dammit I'm working til 10!! It's been taken off now, weird. Most people have it and now it has gone. Sorry mate Where do you want him to be? Up-front for Villa, CA 200, PA 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Predicted finish 15th for Villa. A challenge this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MessiWillSignForVilla Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) Very tempted to sell Benteke, a value of £18.5m and my squad is looking a bit threadbare going into my first friendly, I could sell him and buy a first team! If it wasn't for the fact he's probably going to be the best player I ever have at Villa, I'd sell him in an instant. EDIT: Will it be easier to sell Given on the next database update Andy? It currently seems just as impossible as last years, and he recently said he wants to leave in January, so...

Dodgyknees Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I've decided to hold on to Benteke and go with what I have got, I am trying to trim down on players but just ones I will not use. Shame I cannot bring Grealish back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 No idea, in fairness I think Given will be difficult to shift in real life as the summer showed. The game doesn't 'think' like Given does in real life so he probably won't reach a point of getting his huge wages and then decide he wants to play some football as the real Given has perhaps done. Don't worry, young Jack will be a big player for you in years to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MessiWillSignForVilla Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) Ah ok, I feared that might be the case. Also, is #19 retired forever, or just on year like in real life? Westwood is huge on the match engine, and not in a complimentary way Edited October 16, 2013 by MessiWillSignForVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 There was no way to retire the number 19 for one season, the decision was taken at SI to retire it completely. This is due to the fact that of the 2 options, (don't retire it, retire it forever) this was the better way to do it as this is the release for this season. It will be available again in FM2015.

AndyClarke Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 That is what will happen in real life I would imagine. How are you finding Benteke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 No goals in friendlies so far, Kozak has been more lethal. Saying that Benteke has higher match ratings so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Are you happy with his attributes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MessiWillSignForVilla Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Benteke has been getting less than 6's regurlarly for me in pre-season Kozak got a hat-trick in his friendly though, it might just be the way I'm playing him at the moment. Decided to go for a lower league challenge for now though and taken over Gateshead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 There seem to be new player animations, am I right? Keepers make different kinds of saves which is nice. Beta has a few bugs - defensive errors (players standing still for no reason), weird free-kicks given, blatant fouls not given (it looks clumsy) to be expected for a beta. Are you happy with his attributes? No issues at all, looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Would be interested to see Callum Robinson's stats too, he has been a good performer in pre-season, a few 7's and two goals so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 When's it available for people who didn't pre-order? I got it from cjscdkeys site after they announced it was out for 24 quid including 2 quid for beta key. avent got stuck into it yet though.

Phumfeinz Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Can someone post a screenshot of Benteke's stats? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 How are you finding Benteke? 4 goals (2 penalties) in a 5-1 victory over Southampton in my first first game with a rating of 9.8, seems pretty much spot on 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 i'm unsure about fm14 tbh. I just started fm13 again with villa and used LFC marshalls last update so all tranfers,promtions,relegations and manegerial changes are done. Benteke is unstoppable on my game, 15 goals in 11 games.
