Decided to go with Valencia, Juventus weren't a challenge. Nearly went for Barcelona to see what I could get out of the front 3 but playing a 4-4-2 an it didn't fit with there players.

I can't remember why I joined this war.
An amazing second season has come to an end. Won the 2. Bundesliga in record breaking fashion with a 23 point lead at the end. Also got to the DFB-Pokal final but Leverkusen proved to be too much for me and I lost 4-1. I didn't expect much in the cup final as 3 very important players for me were out with injury and some only recently returned and weren't really match fit but I feel we made it too easy for them to score and didn't take our own chances well enough.

I wonder though if I qualified for the EL since Leverkusen qualified for the EL through the league. If we did qualify this could pose a real problem, there is no way I have a big enough budget to compete in 3 competitions next season.

Started a save with Spurs and signed Howedes. Almost two months into the season and he's still on extended holidays. Is there any way I can tell him to come back or do I just have to hope he eventually decides to stop being a lazy cnut?

:lol: I doubt you can call him back from holiday. How did you give him that long a break?

I didn't set them, he was on them because of the World Cup. I presumed he'd be back around August or maybe start of September but it's close to October now and still no sign of him. There's no return date even mentioned for him :lol:

Started a save with Bradford City yesterday, sometimes FM can get quite realistic to be fair....

Are you using an official database, or LFCMarshall's?

Just received my copy. Only the 2nd FM I've actually bought so it better be worth it.

Will start with United as usual, win till I get bored and then move on to some obscure club and start a long career.

You'll all be pleased to know that Howedes has come back from holiday. In January.

First season in the Championship is going swimmingly. Solid fight for automatic promotion on my hands. Never gonna get first though, somehow Southampton got relegated, and they're smashing the feck out of the league now.

How is that a player is worth £4m for me, sell him for £8m then he's automatically worth £12m for his new club? Is it the reputation of the clubs?

In my 6th season with Mallorca and I've barely been given a transfer budget in any summer, managed to get Gnabry, Barkley, Reed, Benzia and McNair pretty cheap.

Rep, sale price and wage all factor in, I think.

Had a player valued at 400k, 6 months on his contract, offered him a new deal, 3 years at a slightly higher pay, and he's now worth 4m.

They've all got lengthy contracts and on decent wages for the size of my club. No chance I'll hang on to them all, they all want to play in the CL and have Bayern etc after them. The buy out clauses are £13-16m on them all so hopefully I'll be able to find some decent replacements.

How does one install a freaking skin? I refuse to play this game further until I figure this out. I've downloaded your skin @Earthquake, but I can't seem to get it to work. I've put it in the skins folder in documents but it doesn't work. On other sites it says I'm supposed to do it that way but it doesn't work.

Did I mention that it doesn't work?

For my one to work you need the default dark FMC skin downloaded from Steam too, something I didn't know at the time.

Just started a new save with PSG. As always I skipped the 14/15 season so I started 1st June 2015. Two months later, these are my lineups:

First XI:

Second XI:


Cuadrado is my "backup" for both right wing and right wingback.
I don't need another centre back as I could move David Luiz (Who is my CDM) there. Worst case scenario, Samper can play there too.

Absolutely crazy team. After the latest 15.3.0 update, PSG has (at least in this game) a transfer budget of £180 million pounds as well as a wage budget on around a million more than the current wages.

Any muppets fed up with us going after players like Clyne and Ings? Start a new FM game with PSG and buy your own marquee signings in just half an hour!

I'd put Cuadrado in the first XI instead of Hulk TBH. Just personal preference though.
I prefer inside wingers. Hulk has crazy stats too. I think he'll bang in 20+ league goals this season.


Edit: I was playing my first league game as I typed this. Just after I posted, I switched back to FM looking at the replay of Hulk scoring a free kick from 25-30 meters after 5 mins :D

Cuadrado is a beast on this though. Always used to destroy me when I played Chelsea :lol:

Does anyone else struggle to get their young players out on loan? A lot of the time, I keep getting told that no club sees them as viable options. If clubs do come in for them on loan, the players often refuse to go. I'm offering to pay all the wages, no loan fees, even saying they can be back-up/rotation options (rather than first team players), and not specifying a position I want them to play. How can that not be viable?

I don't seem to have a problem getting poor players out on loan. Players I want off the wage bill but just can't sell. Everyone wants them on loan. But my young'uns who are actually good but I can't quite put into the first team yet - nothing.

It's the players who refuse to go on loan who will probably kick up a stink about not getting gametime. Little shits.
