GF John 169 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Qualify for Europa league I'm sure , I'm now sitting 5th , collocini isn't happy though and wants to go to a bigger clubAnyone got any suggestions to a good defender I can get for a couple of million ?Roderick Miranda is shit hot, and usually ends up on the transfer list for about a million, but I think he spends the first season out on loan.Have a look at Kamil Zayatte. Has over 15 for all the important defensive stats, and he's rotting away in some Arabian hell hole, so he shouldn't cost too much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBlond 143 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Anyone recommend a good central midfield that doesn't demand a huge wage? I have a fair bit to spend and lost a couple of my backup midfielders so could use bringing someone in but so many are on 20k+ a week Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aird 3,721 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Essiens has such a decline in this years game.He's only managed 14 games over 3yrs, if i had £2.3m i'd snap him up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GF John 169 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Why? He's crap this year, and he's too old to ever get back to where he was. There are much better players available for that sort of money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aird 3,721 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 He'd still tank the SPL and i could turn a profit Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GF John 169 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Sign Lorenzo Crisetig. He'll cost you less than Essien, is as good to begin with and will turn out better, and will turn more of a profit if you decide to sell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aird 3,721 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I have Crisetig, i got him on a free at the end of the 2nd season Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GF John 169 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I picked him up for free at the beginning of the second season. Brilliant, isn't he? Italy has a load of good youth players this year.Andrea Bertolacci is brilliant aswell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBlond 143 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Crisetig was the player I got in as backup!I let Ness and Bedoya go, got 2.5 million for them (2 million for Bedoya)Sold Andile Jali for 5 million (bought him for like 250k and thought he was quite poor even though the fans loved him)Replaced him with Alexandru Bourceanu, never heard of him but got him for just over 1 million and scouts are very impressed.Got Cuellar in for free as he fell out with the new managment at Villa.Let Alexander go and replaced him with Biel Ribas from Valencia for 800kFinally offloaded a striker the Greek Amanatidis as his form was shocking and contract running out so glad to get half a million for him.Brought young Gonzalo Martinez in hoping to develop into a key player and was free and seen as a coup for the club so hopefully discovered a hidden gem.Got jake Livermore in as a squad player for a million and released some players that I couldn't get a new contract to or didn't need, including Lafferty and McKay.That's my summer so far, currently got alot of money but don't know what to splash it on, any suggestions? I have alot of cover in all departments but could easily sell someone to bring in better.Hopefully my form stays as good as it has been the last couple seasons, with a different looking team Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBlond 143 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 This is basically how my team looks now, the subs aren't organised as it was just a friendly so I just selected everyone without any real organisation.Still got money to spend like I say. I'm thinking maybe I should move Templeton back to his preferred left side and look for a new right winger. I have a fair few strikers but only Bueno really scores often, don't wanna upset everyone though by having too many that play the one position Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperAlly. 9 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Not liking 12. Anyone got a updated patch with Summer Transfers for 11? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBlond 143 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Play Fleck. He's phenomenal in FMI played him in most games until he missed a few months through injury and when he recovered, he never really got back to his usual form. Struggling to get any right midfielders so think Templeman will have to stay there, shame as I have 8 million to spend but no idea who on Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GF John 169 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Adam Johnson is usually unsettled and looking to leave by the end of the first season. I picked him up for £3.7m in January of the 2nd season, but he'd been listed since the Summer.You should play Crisetig instead of Bourceanu as your holding midfielder. He develops into a world class midfielder, while Bourceanu is pretty much fully developed to begin with and isn't that great either.Crisetig after a few years development.

ScottBF2 3,540 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Chuffed to fucking bits. I've done a Gretna, albeit without the same money. Hoping to stay in the SPL next season, get some money, then start pushing up the league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GF John 169 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 You officially win Football Manager Who did you sign in your first few seasons? What sort of tactics did you use?I play that formation, and just tweak the players roles depending on who's playing and who I'm playing against. Generally those roles fit my best side though.Signings include Andile Jali, Antonio Candreva, Lorenzo Crisetig, Milan Djuric, Carlos Fierro, Roderick Miranda, Giuseppe Prestia, Adam Johnson, Fernando, Clement Grenier, and Alberto Paloschi.

GF John 169 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Roderick Miranda is a serious must-sign player. Cost £1m at the end of the first season, and he's developed into a superb defender. LeeWallaceRFC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiftyFour 10 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 How are some of you getting mad results against Celtic & Dundee United etc?

ScottBF2 3,540 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 So annoyed. I can't do any work early in the transfer market in ANY season due to my reputation and now when I'm in the SPL I don't have any money to do any business because the stadium needs undersoil heating for £2.9m.

Blue Atheist 178 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Got my SPL and SPL2 set up with two leagues of 16 teams and 4 relegation places..... in San Marino... Thank feck for the editor, lol.My only issue with this game is the amount of time it takes to play one season. I remember the days when you could whizz through a season in just a few hours without going on holiday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
