Wlv Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Same concept with a part time team but you can't change the slider. How do you react to a loss? Are you harsh on the team? I've always tended to act like this :-Rarely slag off the team in the media, I only do it after a really stupid loss. Give players warnings if their match rating was below 6. After two matches like that I'll fine them a weeks wages. If my form is really bad I arrange a really easy friendly to try and boost morale.With that said, FM always throws up a frustrating season. My first season in league 2 was horrific and I only stayed up by goal difference. The next season I went up :s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinclsw007 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Sometimes the game says "**** you, you're getting nothing - oh, and by the way - **** you again", and you just have to bite down and take it like a man. Exhibit A, I've just played out a 1-1 draw where I had 69% possession, 19 shots to 2, and the opposition's only shot on target was a lob over my keeper - from their own half of the centre circle...

dingodile Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 blast and damnation. no matter how many times i give up on FM14, i always come back at some point just to get my nerves shredded once again. might as well give it a go with this FGL-Z thing this time looks pretty good and a setup that suits the default Liverpool squad as well (i don't like playing with custom transfer updates, so i still have suarez for a good month or two.. if only i managed to get something done with him, lol) so, attempt #9654853, here we go. haven't managed to win the CL in this version yet, best i achieved was getting to the finals to get my ass handed to me by i dont even remember who they were; maybe ten billionth time's the charm. i know it's supposed to be a long term plan but i just don't seem to have the patience when fm keeps throwing these 30-chances-to-1-and-still-lost games in my face. oh well. we'll see how it goes, i'll report back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysrovers Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 This game is just crazy, lost 3-1 in a game where i dominated play. Had 18 shots, 10 of which were on target, and the opp had 7 shots, 4 on target!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wlv Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Oh spanky ! I've had so many of 'those' matches in FM14. Blackburn Rovers (bottom) stopped my 18 game unbeaten run, I lost to them 1-0 after completely dominating the match (ill put a screen shot up later out of empathy). I'd imagine Henderson will turn in to a beast if you train him as a CM (individual focus) and Gerard will do nicely as a DLP for a couple seasons. Better get a young replacement in for him soon though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr U Rosler Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 That's the Quadruple (of sorts) in the bag. Premier League with 4 games to spare, League Cup (Beat Chelsea in final), Charity Shield (beat Chelsea), Super Cup (beat Man City). Got Chelsea in the final of the FA cup, Bayern in the semi's of the Champions League (could meet Chelsea in Final!) Could be a clean sweep of all trophies, lost 2 game all comps all season so far. Just had my 35 game unbeaten run ended by Southampton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wlv Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 It takes a little while for it to happen. Ok, so finally, first full season using the strat (second season in total). Here are the results :- Premier League Not a bad season, we should have got 99 points but we dropped some points at the end of the season Champions League Revenge for last seasons Semi-Final defeat to Barcelona, by beating them in the final FA Cup I have a personal rivalry with Paolo Di Canio (West Ham Manager), so beating them in the final was nice. Squad Stats I put in a youth DLP for most of the season, his pass success rate was much higher which I think benefited the entire team. Especially Xabi who was lethal all season. Additionally, Fabry was good at thow-ins so I taught him the long flat bullet throw PPM. Most of his assists came from that. The FM LOL Shot (for spanky) Finally, Mr U, I don't know if you remember my Fabio Sariava thread..well he scored the winning goal in the FA Cup and Champions League Finals! I'm not going to lie, I got up out my chair for his CL winning goal. What a player! Sorry if I've hijacked your thread Great tactic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr U Rosler Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 OK, never dominated FM like this....... ever. A clean sweep of Trophies. In game i'm 63, will retire at 70.

Wlv Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Nice! 6 competition wins is total domination. Need to go for 7 next season. Your defence looks very sharp with only 21 conceded.My squad is quite young. The only old starter is francucci who I signed this season for 40m. He will be sold at the end of next season however I needed a world class striker as Joe Pavey wasn't the best. Mark Turnbull is only 23 and according to my coaches has high PA. I may need to get another striker in as my long term replacement for Pavey is only 18 and could do with another season or two on loan. Poor management by me, I usually like to have a young team with their younger replacements in the squad too . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingodile Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 i think i'm going to retrain him for right wing back for the first season; he's not going to get too much playtime anyway but i could use a cover for the position and he's got great speed and decent defensive attributes as well, and maybe once he's gotten older and beefed up a bit mentally he can go middle. but in my past campaigns regardless of overall success Sterling has done fairly well as RWB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No positional ability in DR. Retrained him, he's 'natural' for that position now, been with me for years and is awesome in that role. On the other hand I tried the same with an AML.

Goals conceded from set pieces and stupid penalties seem to the way the game tells you its not your time to win, this normally happens early season as you are blending in new players. Leave general training on 'team cohesion' until November. Its worth noting in my monster season i didn't sign any new players in any window. I had a team that would die for each other and unbelievable team spirit all season long. Thats key on FM14. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJHowell Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I like this one Mr R. Decided to set myself a real challenge so resigned from my recently promoted Scunthorpe team at the beginning of the 14/15 season and applied and got the job at Braintree. They were starting out in league 2. Took over towards early September with them languishing in 24th, no wins, one draw and the rest were losses. Low gates, and finances not good. Squad was pretty much made up of the Conference players that got them promoted. It's been a slog, only begun to turn a corner at xmas, until then it was loss after loss, with the odd draw and really struggled to score. Tried to keep morale up, plenty of encouragement, but just didn't to seem like it was going to turn around and then it all just clicked. Early Feb now, have only lost two games since just before Xmas and made it to 15th (Media prediction 24th) I have brought some loans in but it's mainly still the same squad. Not only that but my "star" striker is on fire, and is divisional top scorer at the moment. Also got a young midfielder who is absolutely owning the DLP role. Nice work again Mr R.

Yeah, it can be really hard to break that initial low morale and poor form but when you do it can be quite a transformation. My advice would be try and work with what you've got next season, maybe bring in 2 or 3 new players at the most. This version of FM will shaft you for trying to do too much, too soon and it rewards continuity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr U Rosler Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 The season after the sextuple......... 13th after 8 games. What happened? Well on the back of my good management players got a bit big for their boots, 5 of them came to see me requesting i triple their wages to £130,000 per week. Not happening on my watch, sold them all. Brought in 5 similar quality replacements but the 'team cohesion' element has clearly disappeared and the performances have fallen off a cliff. Will be interesting to see how long it takes to turn around. When i had my monster season there were NO new players. So the BIGGEST FACTOR in having a successful season seems to be continuity in the squad. I would recommend no more than 2 NEW PLAYERS each season.

Much tighter, still creating a lot of chances and scoring plenty. Control is a great options for a plug & play tactic as its well suited to games when you dominate possession but it also works really well when you play against strong team as you launch some well considered counter attacks.
