BJG123 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I just finished my 2nd season with Barca (4th in save overall) and came 2nd to Madrid. First season I beat them home and away and finished 6 points ahead of them on 106 points. This season I drew and lost against them and this happened: 104 points, 189 goals and bloody 2nd place! Luckily I beat them in the copa del rey final and knocked them out of the CL semis for some form of redemption. Both seasons the league has come down solely to the results of El Classico Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

podunkboy Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Just had it today: in 2026, had Australia in the World Cup (while also managing Man Utd.), made it through the group stage with a win and tie, was rewarded with a knock-out match against Brazil, countered them all game to a 1-0 win, then got Portugal and managed another 1-0 win. Got England in the semi-finals (with a squad that featured about 10 of my current or former players), took a 1-0 lead, gave up the tying score at 88 minutes. In extra time, with my squad fitness in the 50%-60%, lost my left back to a 2nd yellow card, battened down the hatches, and England scores at the 118 mark. They outshot us 18-6, had 62% possession...but if we had made it to penalties, I would have taken my chances. Resigned after the game - not that I needed to (they were happy with our results), but I gave it 9 good years, won a couple Asian Cups and Confederation Cup, thought I'd leave it when it was a down time. Resigned from Man Utd a couple weeks later when they wouldn't give me a decent contract extension after 5 straight Premier League titles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miravlix Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 He on equal points and ahead on goal difference and B is before R, so even "name sorting" makes him win on equal points. I guess Spain has rules on individual matches between teams? I like long term saves, slowly building up a squad over the years and keeping the players until they retire, this unfortunately seem to be the worst possible way to play the game as it leads to massive complacency problems in a squad, when you're winning stuff. I throw my computer out the window, when the only match some team wins in the league all year, is to my team because no matter what I do, they are just so complacent.

Sussex Hammer Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 My Hammers 2-2 draw at home to Man City in the second season of my latest save. Ok not a defeat but it felt like one. Went 1-0 up through Valencia and was comfortable and then Alex Song went and did one of his Karate Kid routines to get sent off in the 37th minute that he throws in once or twice a season despite being asked to stay on his feet!! So I take off poor old Diafara Sakho to replace him with Kouyate and go 4311. In the 40th minute Jenkinson swings a lovely cross in and Valencia makes it 2-0, but in the 43rd minute Obiang gets injured so I replace him with Poyet. Swap to control second half to try and keep hold of the ball and looked fine but Zabaleta hooked a cross in and that technical god James Milner volleyed home to make it 2-1. It is at this point that Victor Moses can no longer hobble on with an earlier knock and I now have to bring my last sub on and replace him with Jelavic after a mere 55 minutes. In the 72nd minute Valencia gets a pesky injury and I have to take him off so down to 9 men and in the 85th minute Fernando gets himself a second yellow so you never know, maybe my luck has changed!! I switch to Key highlights as it is all getting too much but as another thread about the last 5 minutes of matches shows it drags and drags. Despite asking the team to keep possession Garbutt swings in a hopeless cross to no one and City break. We are in the 6th minute of injury time despite only 4 being given (why do they blow on time when I am losing?!) and a long ball goes to Aguero who strikes it from 30 yards out and it flies into the net. The only saving grace was they didn't add on another 5 minutes so they could get the winner! I know the game can't er,,,,,, cheat but it sure does feel harsh at times. Gutted doesn't cover it!!

joeya72 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I lost 9-3 to West Brom in the FA Cup Semi-Final during my third season at Spurs. It wasn't even the huge loss that was the worst part. I was on track to win the league but this absolutely destroyed our form and morale. I lost 4 of my last 7 games in all comps, and was knocked out of the Champions League by Chelsea, who then went on to snatch the league title right out of grasp. We tied on 87 points but they beat me to the tittle with a goal difference of 63 compared to my 60. I still have nightmares about Brown Ideye and Loic Remy running at my back 4...

SlightlyAwkward Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Having a bit of a journeyman save. Ended up at Hull for the 2021/22 season. Reached the League Cup, Europa League AND FA Cup finals. Lost all 3 of them. The Europa League against Porto was the worst defeat I can remember. 1-0 up at half time, had a player sent off after about 60 minutes. Concede not long after. Make it to Extra Time at 1-1. Make it to the 120+3rd minute. Porto player hits the post from a corner, keeper catches it and falls into the goal. I would've taken penalties over that. The result destroyed morale and all the games took it out of the players. Had nothing left to give against Liverpool in the FA Cup final at the weekend. Couldn't take it anymore, resigned after Liverpool thrashed us and moved to Scotland in hopes of some free trophies to restore my ego. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown Hacker Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Worst defeat to swallow was probably on FM14 managing Boavista -- was 4-0 up against Barcelona after the first leg of the ECL semi and lost the second leg 7-2 to go out on aggregate. What made it harder was knowing that I wouldn't be able to get back to that stage for a few years as 7 of my starters were moving on as I couldn't afford to keep them in the face of big club interest. I resigned at the end of the season as I couldn't face rebuilding. On the same save but later on I was managing Schalke and contrived to finish runner-up to Bayern in the league, cup and champions league 2 years in a row -- so any defeat to Bayern in that span was pretty galling as you can imagine.

Nobby_McDonald Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Mine wasn't a defeat but a draw and it happened today. Playing as Southport I was one of four teams trying to secure two playoffs positions on the final day of the 2019/20 Conference North season. As we were 5th going into the game, a win would guarantee us the playoffs. We travelled to already relegated King's Lynn, conceded an 87th minute equaliser and finished 7th.

Marius_R Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 In one of the previous FM versions (can`t remember which one, it was either FM13 or FM14), I was playing Inter and was at 12 pts behind Juventus by January, managed a brilliant second half of the season and before the head-to-head game in matchday 37 I was sitting 1 point above them. I lost the game 2-1 courtesy of an injury time goal , and therefore lost the league title, as both teams won the last game of the season. I also remember losing 3 or 4 Champions League finals in a row against either Manchester United or Arsenal playing as Hertha BSC on FM07, but it wasn`t as painful as the one above.

daylight Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Just had my biggest defeat in FM ever. Took Burton from League 2 to the Premiership, tycoon dumped us when in League 1, played some Premiership clubs in the cup and done rather well. Really looking forward to my first season in the Premiership and we have a really good looking squad. Pre-season went really well, well it did until in the week before my first game I lost both my strikers to injury, don't worry I won't be blaming my defeat on that. On to the first game and it is Man City away, I was hoping to keep it tight and while I am in no way expecting to win I am confident of holding my own. The game ended 7-1 to City! They could have won 10-1 and I could not complain. Well one thing that did bother me in the last 20 minutes when we were 6-1 down, my assistant kept saying "We are doing everything but leading, if we keep this up it is only a matter of time before we turn it around", I think he was being a little too optimistic if I am being honest! So yeah 7-1 in the first game in the Premiership was a bit hard to swallow! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brenosantos Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I've been playing with Olympique 13 from Gibraltar and in the last fixture of the First Division, our team and Lincoln were in the first position, with same number of points, wins and goal difference. They have played first and won Britannia FC 4-0, so I needed to win with four goals of margin to force another game between the two teams and with five goals to be champions. After 84 minutes of absolute drama, we reached the 4-0 score against Gibraltar Scorpions, playing away from home. But in the 87' minute, they finished for the third time in the game and scored 4-1. Absolutely shocking. Five minutes later, they have made it 4-2. Unbelievable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwood Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Last season, my second with Man City, I lost one competitive game between all competitions: the FA cup semifinal against Arsenal. I was happy to not loose a league game and get the achievement for that, but a perfect season would have been nice. That summer (2022) I took Australia to the final of the World Cup, and lost, but we never should have gotten that far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
