decapitated Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 I just checked and they appointed Brendan Rodgers in my game. I just assumed they'd have Steve Bruce due to him being sacked so near release day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty217 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Januzaj as the big Jan transfer for 41m (sold a couple year later to Everton for 20m). For 22/23, Wijndal for 51m (has done well), Aarons for 49m and Ings for 39.5m (both average at best). 23/24 saw Lacroix for 63m (sold for a profit to Real 2 years later) and Weigl for 49.5m (disappointing). Their record signing is Schlager who was bought 73m. Spent 3 years rotting on Bayern's bench, making a total of just 10 apps, but Bayern were still able to sell him for 73m, how? They've hired (and sacked) Flick, Mourinho and Conte and currently have Emery in charge. They've finished 16th, 17th, 13th and 13th in the league. Well worth the money spent!

It’s quite interesting as I holidayed half a season just to see what they would do. Brendan Rodgers was the manager, they hadn’t brought anyone in the summer window then only brought sarr from Watford in, in the January window. So obviously very random who they buy.

Dagenham_Dave Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Rodgers the manager in my save as well, but they haven't signed anyone apart from the ones hardcoded at the start (Willock, etc), and it's well after the end of the transfer window. I'm managing in Serie A so don't have the league on full detail, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

casualassassin Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 They immediately hired Flick, then tried to buy Ruben Loftus-Cheek from me for $7.5M. I didn't really want to sell him, so I bumped it up to $25M with $10M additional with installments and a 30% sell on fee, thinking they'd get the hint and **** off. They accepted it immediately, which shocked me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakiie Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 They try. After splashing a lot of cash they finally gotten top 4 in the last couple seasons. Still far away from challenging for the title though, Manchester clubs are far too dominant and this season their start isn't all that great (7th in December). Definitely not doing as poorly as in some other saves here though! Their actual squad now in 2027: Spoiler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwityke1983 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 They got Rodgers as manager and spent a small fortune on 7 or 8 players. Trippier and Dier are two that spring to mind.

decapitated Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 Geraldo Martino is now manager and they also signed Reiss Nelson from Arsenal for £34.5M on 20th June 2023 which ended up on the previous screen.

Both between AI clubs and negotiations with the human club. There’s no way my 26 year old career backup with a grand total of 22 Premier League appearances (78 total league appearances) should both be valued by the game for £49m or getting an offer for that amount.

rp1966 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) Didn't have first window enabled. In the January window these were Newcastle's transfers: Manager, predictably, is Brendan Rodgers - seems to be a standard appointment in FM22. They're currently sat in 9th at the beginning of Feb.

nico_france Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) While simulated a few seasons, i just noticed that each summer they are always spending 151M€ No matter what for the last 3 seasons, always the same amount No world beaters at all btw Edit: MB they spent more than that in reality, just not checked well Edited October 28, 2021 by nico_france Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fettucine_Alfredo Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I think mine is broken. They bought no one. 2 transfer windows, not a single transfer. When I go into the staff, they don't have a manager. They only have 2 guys, I don't remember their job, but it's like a scout and a physio or something like that. When I go in manager history, it tells me there isn't any. Someone else has that? I selected PL and other clubs do some transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robioto Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Unfortunately this highlights how bad the AI is with money. I know this is an extreme situation, but the AI rarely beats the status quo and you end up with the same teams winning everything season after season in long term saves. It would be nice if it was more dynamic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However Spending the initial 200m budget puts you 70m in the red to meet the CL FFP rules, so AI managers should be trying to curb spending or risk being banned from Europe (PS has anyone seen them banned from Europe ?)

nico_france Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 So far This is what they did, a few signings seem to be common in a lot of save This is a fully simulated save, transfers disabled for the first window In the meantime, best position in the league for Newcastle was 8th (2nd season) Otherwise 9th for all the other seasons, except the first one (11th) Brendan Rodgers, still in charge from the beggining of the save Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
