;___;
I've had him since 16
After watching Craig Foster's pedophilic tit-grab (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WNl_ngBlho) I came across something interesting
Back in 2006 he coached a bunch of 'nerds' for a TV program, and their first match was against the Australian u21 womens team, which the womens team won 11-0.
Then they lost 8-0 against a team of prison inmates.
They had a rematch against the womens team, which the women won again 5-0.
After three months of training and the above matches, the final game was against Melbourne Victory FC in front of 25,000 people, which the Victory won 12-2.
Haven't watched it yet, but here's the final episode with the match against Melbourne Victory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOJVx9emJzc

Actually they claimed it's 25,000 people, but looks like hardly anyone is left in the stands after the end of semi final match that preceded it

There's your problem m8. For some weird reason, this kind of talk makes some players choke (works also in real life, any sport). If they're playing well, tell them assertively that they're playing well: it motivates them.
>>64807060
>don't let your performance drop
The players understand this to mean: "the game's in the bag, you don't need to try in the second half".

I just signed two new DCs and they're both better than my current DCs at both their position and captaincy potential
My current captain and one of my DCs is 24 and has the potential to be better than both of them and I don't want to fuck with the team synergy
Does it ever work giving a new player captaincy or does it just piss everyone off? Should I keep playing the current captain over at least one them hoping he'll bring out his potential and git gud?

I'm just about to do my last friendly so it's not guaranteed yet, the current captain has never officially been captain either, old one retired at the end of last season. He's been in the squad a few years though
>>64808517
It should prompt you at some point to choose your captain for the season, if you do it then it hardly ever pisses people off especially if you speak to the "current" captain and just say you have better options now or whatever fits best.

so, they changed the league last season so that there's 30 teams, and the season goes on for the whole year.
Now they're changing it again so that they can have 2016-17, and keep that format for the years that follow. The first half of 2016 is going to be the most MLS-like season of Argie football ever, and they have to do this for the format they want to have for the season afterwards.

Fuck off, AFA. Just fuck off and die.
>>64810441

They can't relegate teams unless they prepare something like this to relegate two each year.
>Anime
Don't know why I'm discussing this, you probably don't even read opléb.
>>64810771
Probably prefer left slightly but only marginally whilst right will probably be the much cheaper option so assuming you're gonna want to sign other people and stretch your budget I'd take right, if for some reason money is not an issue then I'd take left.
>>64810746
The official reason is that Argentinian league was too centred around Buenos Aires historically and getting relegated was incredibly hard. I mean, you'd have to be seriously retarded to get relegated. So they basically fused the two top leagues (IIRC), and will keep reducing the size until there are 20 teams left (hopefully the best ones in Argie) in the top league.

What do you deem an acceptable return from a striker /trb/?
Personally I turf out any poacher scoring below 35 a season and any CF scoring less than 20
>>64811392
I don't rely on one attacker so I don't care unless their rating is bad
Sometimes making three subs and changing tactics to the opposite of what you had going on is exactly what you need
>>64811392
I only care about results, not who scores. Although coming from a nation who has only ever had one goalscorer I'm not surprised you care so much. Fucking pleb IRA cunt.

Hey, you gotta appreciate the effort when there's any. Especially since FM is a technically up-to-date software which is known for quickly ridding of bugs and thus long-term issues are non-existent.

Even better: FC Luch-Energiya from Vladivostok. Most teams hate to play against them due to being so far East, they're roughly ~6.4k km (4k miles) away from Moscow. So basically right next to the Japanese coastline, see [pic related].
Shit got even worse when Baltika Kaliningrad relegated last year to the 2nd divison: FC Luch had to travel 7400 km (~4.6k miles) as there was no direct flight between the two cities. No biggie, they're travelling more than 100k km in year anyway.

How are my tactics?
hello fellow sports management game autists, i play out of the park baseball, and lemme tell you about some shit
you see, the fun part of FM is that at least when it trolls you, it only does so once or twice. OOTP is willing to kill my entire season.
going into the final month, i had a 6 game (~15 points in terms of soccer) lead on the dodgers with about 30 games to play. We sorta stumble for the next 24 games, but with the last 6 games in the season against two of the shittiest teams in the league, we had a 1.5 game (~5 point) lead over the dodgers. ez game.
fucking nope. all 6 games ended 1-2 or 3-4. all fucking 6. so we got to sit on our asses and watch the dodgers win the world series.
i now understand all of your pain
Well you guys were right the game is not good.

>>64827354
>>64827684
The game literally didn't have any game play.
It just counted minutes and the showed a little replay of either the striker scoring or the GK making a save. Then one of my players got injured and I couldnt figure out how to put a sub in so a closed the game and hit refund.
>>64827899
But it's superior in gameplay to FM and has more options than FIFA Manager (which has better gameplay than FM too)!

Various issues in non-TOP5 leagues (new fixtures out of thin air, half of the squad on holiday for a cup final etc.), players complaining about being left of squad registration while they weren't even available, poor multi-thread / core performance, save-breaking bugs with add / remove leagues ... only a few long-term and (most likely) still unsolved issues from the top of my head.

ritsu best k-on
Good fucking job guys, conceding a stoppage time winner when a point would have secured promotion. Now we have a match remaining vs Wigry. First tiebreaker is head to head and we drew in the first round, so if they win we have to go through the play-off.
Thoughts on this? been using for a season and a half, won the league last year and I'm in first now

It looks terrible to me but I'll play anything that works so if it works for you that is all that matters.

Poland's his perhaps most casual save yet
>>64831271
didn't get accused of it that often but the way he got triggered does seem like he did
>>64831271
I'd say he is the primary reason people get autistic about the /trb/ "rules" because he must've broken every single one and been a terrible shitposter in the process.
I did like when he spent 80mill on Miguel "glass knees" Jimenez though.

the results are all there!

take off play out of defense. There is no point in that tactic and all it will do is cause your shitty defenders to fuck up.
>>64831339
I'm going to test that out, because my defenders often do make some awful mistakes
>>64831326
ahaha the kid sounds like a riot
GOOD
FUCKING
JOB
>>64831249
whatever it was, I seriously question it right now
Have any of the teams you've managed in FM lead you to become a fan of that team? For me, yes. Gillingham.
>>64831398
have you interacted with the club in any way (attending a match, buying a jersey)?
>>64831388
oh man. that's rough
>>64831398
FCUM, and to answer >>64831419 's question, I bought a brick for the club.
Class doesn't age desu
>>64831419
cant attend matches since Im in America but I watch matches or follow them on my phone if Im at work. Actually going to buy a jersey soon.
