JEinchy Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Depends on the percentage of the transfer fee you recieve. It's different depending on the club. At Southampton, I don't think you'll get a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEinchy Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I always find playing as your favourite team an effective way to get back into it. After my Southend save got corrupted, I started one with Arsenal and now I can't stop playing. Everything is familiar so you can just sit down and enjoy yourself. Or you could set yourself a challenge; lower league management, only signing English players, only spending a certain amount, etc. There's plenty of challenges in the Challenges and Sign Ups forums as well.

JEinchy Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 My bad. How typical is this: second game in charge with Livorno. First game was away to Foggia and we trashed them 5-0. Danele Mannini scored 4 and assisted 1, from the right wing! Anyway, we go 1-0 up against Frosnone at home and then Mannini gets a straight red. It doesn't end there, the sub I brought on, Estoyanoff, to play RM gets injured and has to be replaced! And we conceded! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cockney Hammer Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Yeah i just checked out the squad more and noticed. Also im playing ona updated database so Armand Traore will get a chance aswell Selling Senderos not a fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEinchy Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Senderos is really good on FM, surprisingly. Bit of a donkey IRL though. You probably know this already, but keep an eye on Vela. He was World Footballer of the Year and European Footballer of the Year before I left Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cockney Hammer Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Yeah hes a fantastic player Vela. Now i dont have Adebayor (playing on updated database) he will get more of a chance, i feel i dont need to buy another striker now Eduardo is full fitness so thats like a new signing. Fantastic squad looking forward to this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEinchy Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I find it strange how Livorno, who are really underachieving in Serie B, has a £10.5M transfer budget. Not that I'm complaining, I just didn't think we'd have this much money. The squad is actually beyond good enough for a mid-table finish, so I might as well save the cash and splash it in the summer. Away to Pisa next. Derby match apparently, and their manager is Gianluca Vialli of all people. Odd. One of my strikers is a complete primadona. Thinks he's bigger than the club and, I quote, is shocked about not being treated as a first team regular. He want out, and I want him out. Don't care if he's one of my best players, he's disrupting the harmony. Bye bye Diamanti, whoever you are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEinchy Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Possibly something to do with the user created database. I noticed that on WeeGiE, certain players seem a lot cheaper than usual. Probably because of other players being signed and such. Barazite can become very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEinchy Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Possibly. Or he might have an extremely high PA and Inter might plan on actually using him. Nine times out of ten he ends up rotting in their reserves. Like Saivet at Bordeux. I snatched him on a free though and made him a brilliant striker.

JEinchy Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Serie B has weird rules. For some reason, I don't have a game for another 20 days but everyone else is playing. I'm assuming this the winter break. The top two teams get promoted. If the gap between 3rd and 4th is more than 9 points, then the team that finished 3rd gets promotions as well. BUT, if there is fewer than ten points seperating 3rd and 4th, then only the top 2 get promoted and teams from 3rd through 7th go into a playoff competition for the final promotion spot. On the other end of the spectrum, the bottom four teams are relegated IF there is more than 4 points seperating 18th and 19th. BUT, if there is less than 5 points seperating 18th and 19th, the two teams will go into a playoff to decide the fourth team that gets relegated. Needless complicated.

JEinchy Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 It doesn't end there! The teams are sorted by points then results against other teams. I think what this mean is that if I finish with the same amount of points with the team who is first, I will finish either first or second depending on my results against that team. Even if I had surperior goal difference, I would finish second if I lost to that team twice, for example. Imagine losing out on the Serie A title like that. And yes, it's frustrating because the team has just won 3 matches in a row and our season is beginning to look up and the play offs (that complicated rule permitting, of course) is a realistic target. We'll probably lose some momentum because of this. I haven't even got an international friendly in that time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEinchy Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I get some brownie points from the Livorno board though, so it's a bonus. Blimey though.

JEinchy Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Easy win. Emirates is a fortress. Unless something goes really wrong, you'll rarely lose there. I just realised I haven't made any training scheduals for Livorno yet, or even glanced at the coaching staff. I'm thinking I should wait until the end of the season until I change anything. Got some more rules for ya. Player rules: Maximum of 22 over 21 players. Maximum of 18 over 21 players not trained at club Only one non-EU player per squad. Player signed on free transfers can be registered at any time. Players of age 21 or under do not have to be registered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cockney Hammer Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Yeh it sure was an easy win won 3-0. Vela scored first then Arshavin got a couple, he ripped Stoke apart. Few first teamers were missing so i can only get stronger. Why Livorno? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEinchy Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Well after leaving Arsenal, I really wanted to manage in the Scottish Prem to try and break Rangers's and Celtic's dominance, but only lower league jobs were avaliable. I was offered about three jobs from Brazil, but all the teams were sturggling in the relegation zone and I didn't fancy it. I didn't want to be holidaying for too long, because it takes a while. Livorno offered me a job. Really good squad, quite a bit of money and a decent sized stadium. Only Serie B, so I'm not stuck with crap lower league players. I've never managed in Italy either. I thought it would be a good challenge and all the foundations are there for me to build upon and become successful in the future. January 1st now. We were 15th when I signed on, now we're 10th after three straight wins (really good wins as well) and now pushing for the play offs. Have quite a lot money to spend if I want to strengthen, so things are looking good already. I'm aiming for promotion at the end of next season (2012/2013).

ArcticMonkey Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Hi, Playing as Leeds in the PL in the 4th season, i've had a pretty successful save so far but my striker's goals are starting to dry up. I play a good old fashioned 4-4-2 formation with one quick striker and one holding the ball up and i'm not looking to change this. Just wondering what minor changes to my striker's player instructions could make a big difference. What d'you do with creative freedom for strikers, i've currently got mine set to much. Any other info appreciated. cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEinchy Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Depends on the striker. If I have someone like van Persie, for example, I would give him lots of creative freedom and a free role. High mentallity, through balls often, high creative freedom and a free role for creative strikers that I use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
