McGougan33 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Welcome to the thread of I Welcome you to our beloved club Glasgow Celtic Football Club - Broken Dreams, A nations football league in Chaos, and the biscuit tin mentality. Our team, my one true love in football, broken by the demise of our Greatest Rivals, Scottish Football torn asunder, seemingly never to be rebuilt again, That is of course until YOU the manager, the dreamer of dreams, the icon to be, the whispered name on every supporters lips, dons the suit or tracksuit and forges your iron will and steely determination back into the slow beating heart of this once magnificent club. Like a shot of adrenaline on to a Cardiac Arrest, you have suddenly awoken and refreshed, reinvigorated, rejuvenated the slow pump of the heartbeat of this club, the challenge, the rush, the never ending desire to succeed, has been given a kick start to which you can feel the electricity coursing around the Stadium, this slumbering giant is ready to be awakened, ready to give new life and new joy to its intense and passionate followers, time to make a change!. Celtic Football Club was founded on the principals of Brother Walfrid, and still maintains his core values to this day, community is key, and not many, if any are closer than Celtic and its Followers. The Demise of our Arch Rivals, Glasgow Rangers Football Club, has severely affected the Scottish Game, whether we like to admit it or not, we need the light blues, we need the gers, the teddy bears – As much as the rivalry runs deep, we share a common passion in keeping our game alive. With Celtic Raking in some very high transfer fees as of the end of last season, the supporters feel that the board have hardly spent, and the whispers of the biscuit tin mentality is creeping back in. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the biscuit tin, it was during a dark time when the board were stealing money from the club, the whispers and rumours are coming a thick and a fast seeing as the current board are remaining unwilling to spend good money on well needed players. I can feel the echo of a forgotten memory in my chest, with the beating of a new set of drums beginning to emerge from the deep. I feel the want of the electric atmosphere of a home game at paradise, I feel the want for the intense and deep breath of silence before a European night in Celtic Park, but my heart yearns most of all for the Cavernous Roar that only Parkhead can produce, when those men wearing green and white, take to that hallowed surface. This is our club, our broken dreams, it is time, our time, to make the world stand up and take notice. COME ON YOU BOYS IN GREEN.

McGougan33 Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 Staff Analysis: Current first team staff are pretty weak at the moment. John Collins - Assistant Manager 3.5 star in his best role in fitness - Worth Sacking John Kennedy - First team coach 3.5 star in defending and tactics - Worth Sacking Ian Coll - Fitness Coach 3 star in his job role - Definitely Worth Sacking Danny McGrain - First Team coach 4.5 stars in defending and tactics - Must Keep, even though most likely he will retire after the first season Stevie Woods - Goalkeeping coach 4 star in either handling or stopping - Keep unless you can get better Suggestions: Move Danny McGrain to tactics coach 4.5 star Sign Adie Stovell 4.5 star Fitness coach Sign Werner Leuthard 4.5 star Fitness coach Sign Massimo Battara 4 star Goalkeeping coach Sign Ludek Miklosko 4 star Goalkeeping coach - although both are 4 star coaches, sending them on coaching courses should boost them to at least 4.5 Sign Ulf Kirsteen 4 star Attacking coach Sign Rene Meulensteen 4.5 star Ball Control coach Sign Phil Cannon 4 star defending coach - wanted HoYD at first, but I convinced him second time round to become a coach. And finally I brought in Roy Aitken as Assistant Manager, cant get a better one unfortunately at the moment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickwaters Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Gordon is brilliant, Scepovic and Guidetti are perfect Target Man and Poacher pairing. Van Dijk should be higher rating again. Under 20s are pish for a change which is a joke since our under 20s do well in the Europe and the likes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGougan33 Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 Have you played much of it? Alot of the squad look good, I still think Efe Ambrose is overrated. I will do a proper in depth analysis of the squad tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickwaters Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I've played it a wee bit tonight. I agree Ambrose is overated again I just sold him for £3million to Palace. I have played 6 games with a diamond shape and won all of them. I play; Guidetti (poacher) Scepovic (Target Man) _______McGregor (Trequ)___________ Guidetti and Scepovic have 4 goals each in 6 games and McGregor has 6 goals in 6 games.

I will keep him for a season I think, I am playing a 4-2-3-1 with an attacking mentality, conceeded 3 goals in 2 games, and scored 9, I will consider tweaking it if the goals keep being conceeded considering that was a low league european qualifier game. Have you conceeded many? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

michealhill Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 the new interface isnt great imo. maybe itll just take a while to get used to it. quite happy with our team. one or two players seem a bit under-rated (VVD, lustig) but there a few players in there that look top class – mcgregor, guidetti, gordon, broony so far, ive shifted – stokes (500k), efe (3mil!), mulgrew (2mil), kayal (free), derk (400k) and cancelled bergets loan took a bit of effort to shift derk. kayserispor bid for him and we was willing to move, but only if a paid him 17k a week until 2017 so declined and then told him to go and find himself a club cos he had no place at celtic – i think this is a really good addition to the game, as well as the fact when you sell a player you can have a chat and thank them for their service and say they are welcome back any time. have struggled to bring in some players. tried to get tielemens on loan but he went to france instead, barca wont let me near grimaldo. i have managed to bring in some good players though – grealish on loan, ante coric for 1.2mil and dino hallilovic on a free (alen’s brother). but the signing im most pleased about is ciaran clark for 1.1mil, i really think ive robbed villa there brought henderson and mcconnell in to the first team as they have quite good potential. really want to bring in a good young left back but struggling to find one. any suggestions? mcgregor, grealish and guidetti are scoring for fun. came through the first 2 cl qualifying rounds with agg scores of 10-1 and 11-1, and won my first 2 league games. dundee utd next in the league and then the first leg of my last cl qualifier against……….legia! i think when the full game comes out, ill probably start again as I will have a better idea of players that could come in and I think I could have got more for efe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent bothered about transfers just now, I have started a save to get a feel for the match engine, and create a tactic, I shall start another save later on today to do an indepth squad and staff analysis, so when the full game comes out we have all the information available to us. On the left I have no idea atm, but I shall try and do an analysis in the terms of, best player in the position currently, best youth prospect, and a potential youth buy in, or in the case of a drastically needed position, a player who can slot straight in.

Champfan10 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I've just started a Celtic save. I've sold Beram Kayal for 650k and loaned a few youths out. I've signed Mohamed Zidan free & John Soutar for £1.5m, although he's gone back to Dundee Utd for the season on loan. I've also signed Sanago & Zelalem on loan for the season. I'm playing a 442 diamond that lines up as a narrow 23212 with wingbacks, Played 3 games in the UCL qualifiers winning 4-0 on ago v Stromsgodset and currently 7-0 up after the home leg again Slovia Bratislava.

Sean1967 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Working at sea just now, internets slow so can't download this until Tuesday when I get in port. Got a few questions to ask. Is Guidetti still on the ridiculous £35k/week from FM14 so it will be near impossible to sign him permanently? Also do you still have to pay over the odds in wages compared to other leagues for good youngsters? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsson1888 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Finally got my first game started and did a lot better than I expected. Didn't have a great start as I kept changing tactics and trying to work out what worked. Had a slow start to the season but managed to do the treble and got in the quarter finals of the Champions league. I was heading through until they scored in the 90th min to put them through on away goals....was gutted. Izzy got fans player of the year and Guidetti was easily my stand out with 33 goals in the league. Griffiths did really well as an inside forward on the right hand side.
