Football Manager 5 (merge) (16 Viewers)
- Thread starter Zlatan
- Start date
the CL has been fairly hard. i won 3 and tied 3 games coz i had Werder who got second, Liverpool, and the Champions Porto. those were some tough games.
Seria A has been fairly easy. i have only lost points against Milan (a 2-2 draw).
In Coppa i lost 2-1 (with my second team) to guess who Reggina
Trezeguet keeps getting injured. this time is two months but Zalayeta is a good back-up.
Oliviera is amazing on the right side. He is averaging 9+. He got injured for two weeks but Camo is ready to take his place.
When Oliviera got injured a journalist asked my if the team would suffer and i responded by saying that even though oliviera is a big part of the team we have others too. Oliviera's morale went up and he was pleased i thouhgt so highly of him.
Juventus has some great youngsters. Volpato, De Ceglie, and this central defender i forgot the name.
its funny how some players like nedved get determined to win when a manager talks shit about my team and some others like Zebina lose faith on the team. and also some youngsters like Oliviera like it when i make fun of a manager i just beat after he talked shit about my team and some like Buffon and Nedved think i should just keep my mouth shut.
thats what i have been up to so far.
Buffon
Zebina - thuram - canna - zambo
Oliviera - emo - blasi (appiah) - neddy
DP - Zlatan (Trezeguet injured)
i havent made any big changes to the team. next year i wanna bring some big name youngsters if i have some cash.
well i got it and it's ok imo,nothing too spectacular.
i lost to inter 3-1 and then beat Lazio a week later 7-1.so much for realism.
good players are still as difficult to get as ever-Valencia asked for 71m for Aimar,i had a 24m + Camo deal for Joaquin turned down too.
the comment on your opponent feature gets pretty repetitive and useless after a while i'm afraid.
that said,i'll have to play more to actually pass an accurate verdict on this one.

you just need to eye the timing to get them.
for example,
I get Gilardino on second season, his contract is unprotected, I snapped him with 25m.
Get Cassano on third season, free transfer, he is unsettled at Roma.He is talented scored 25 goals for me, really useful but I sold him the next season for 65m,because he is unhappy at juve,(keep making problem).
Get Aimar for 16.25m trust me, I don't know what's going on in Valencia,he was placed in their reserve team,and very unhappy there, then I enquiry the price. They're willing to sell him at 16.25m.
Get Woodgate for 2.6m, sold him next season for 30m.
my word of advice is to place all talented players on your shortlist, keep an eye on their status. Contract status unprotected, expiring, unwilling to extend contract,transfer listed, minimum release clause,happiness.you'll get talented players with bargain price.when other teams approach them, you'll know that the player is available for transfer and the price also.
a real bug is you can offer contract to your players all the time. for example
I reduced buffon wages from 100000k to 85000 and then 70000 and then 50000.
DP from 110000 to .... to... and then finally at 60000.
this is how to control you wages bill.

I bought the game, and started playing with Juve.
after 33 serie A games, I'm still unbeaten, 10 points ahead of Milan, Scudetto is very near!!
The weirdest thing happened in Champion's League: I played Chelsea in the quarter finals , lost 2-0 at Stamford Bridge, :groan:
and then came the return match at Delle Alpi. I had to win 3-0 or something, which I thought was Mission : Impossible 3.
But... Ibrahimovic scored twice in the 90' !!! So we had extra-time. I obtained a penalty in the first half. Kapo (why did he take it??) missed it, but Joaquin (yeah, I know...) managed to get the ball, rolled it back to Kapo, who scored. I thought I won, because of the silver game rule, but no, we had to play a second half of extra time. By that time, Joe Cole was injuried and Mourinho already made his 3 subs, so Chelski was with 10 men on the field. In the 121' I got a second penalty, Kapo took it again, and scored
.
I was waiting for the full time but that *ssh*ole referee let the game go on untill the 139minute !!!!!!
but what the hell, I beat Chelsea 4-0!
One big trouble in realism: the attendance at Delle Alpi! I got like 60000 fans for the match against .... Livorno in Coppa d'Italia....
