Thank you
my board fucked me over, i had 100 million in the bank but the refused to give me shit, i had like 15 players (but i already had 11 main players so it wasnt that bad), i had to sell 1, get like 8 loans and replace the guy
the board better give me a fucking new stadium at the end as i have 125m in the bank now
also my keeper lost his 20 reflexes which pisses me off

What the fuck did you just fucking tsuu to me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of the list at the Ballon d'Or, and I’ve been involved in numerous celebrations at the Bernabeu, and I have over 500 confirmed goals. I am trained in goalscoring and I’m the top striker in the entire Portuguese National squad. You are nothing to me but just another goalie. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with tsuuing that shit to me on the pitch? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of tacticians across Europe and your team is being analyzed right now so you better prepare for the tsuu, maggot. The tsuu that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your cup challenge. You’re fucking eliminated, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can dribble around you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my weak foot. Not only am I extensively trained in positioning, but I have access to the entire squad of the Portuguese men's National Team and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable team off the face of the Euros, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tsuu. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will tsuu fury all over you and you will disqualify in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Morning lads.
So ive been playing /gsg/ games for a long time now, its been MANY MANY years since i last played a football manager game(i used to play fm 13 religiously)
Pirating FM15 as i speak as FM16s crack does not seem worth the hassle.
Question is do you guys know any cheap cheaty free agents i can sign as a FC United? (Similar to the Reunion players of yesteryear) also any tips for getting started, i highly doubt much has changed but.

Any tips for playing LLM? Would a simple 4-4-2 suffice? Im tyring to play my 4-2-2 Wide and i lost to Frickly fucking FC in my first friendly.
Its the sort of shit that makes me quit playing everytime. My Conference team should be able to beat Frickly FC without even having a manager.
What the fuck am i doing wrong.
>>69316166
First of all, pre-season start doesn't mean nothing, as your team is out of match fitness, so don't care about it.
Second of all, you should use the best scheme that fits your players and the best tactics that match the style you want to play and that combine with your players. Guide to football manager is the Bible to FM newfags, don't forget that.

I normally just use standard mentality and then move to attack/defensive/contain depending on the situation in the second half.
In this game I forgot to switch the mentality at all, probably because I gave up after the third goal.
What tactic should I use against the big PL teams?
>>69318011
>What tactic should I use against the big PL teams?
Playing 11 goalkeepers.
>>69318011
>I normally just use standard mentality and then move to attack/defensive/contain depending on the situation in the second half.
standard isn't good mentality IMO
you should have an attacking tactic and a countering tactic
also you didn't say what instructions you had
btw here's the best attacking tactic I've gotten to work in 16 so far

Anti-football.
>>69319538
why not both
>>69317134
This shape is almost how Wales played during the Euros. I would recommend using what Coleman did:
The thing you must do is to have the 3 man central midfield as holder-runner-attacker:
- Drop one of the CMs to a defensive/holding role. Should be a Joe Allen DLP(d) to get the ball from your CBs.
- The next CM should be Ledley, so either a BWM(s) or BBM.
- The next one has to have an attacking role. If you want the 3-man mid, it should be a CM(a) to bust into the box like Andy King. An AMC can also work:
- SS-Treq can be a good AMC partnership, which is like Ramsey and Bayol
- If you prefer the 3 man central mid, I think Treq will be a good role. Your Bale.
- Robson-Kanu was probably a CF(s), but an AF might work better on tribble. Something that gets into the channels. Your CM(a) will be busting into the box on a straight line to get tap-ins so to get your striker moving out wide will be useful. If your striker is more of a target man, a support role will work well.
Also, I recommend going for a stopper-defend-stopper CB lineup. It'll give you more cover on the flanks, which is what you need since you've already packed the middle.
You can play this to counter or possession since you have 2 playmakers and a narrow midfield in an overall hoofy shape. It'll stave off relegation.

Belgian 2nd tier
Croatian 2nd tier
>>69323492
also its gruezo's 4th red of the season 18 games in
>>69323519
Just one?
>>69323407
england (all), spain, italy, germany, brazil (top two leagues for the last 4) are the constants
>>69323407
I use this setup. No need to load entire competitions to get good regens. Bigger database = slower processing speed = slower gameplay. This database gives you about 30k players
>>69323577
>>69323577

I have a budget of 160m€ in the summer of 2017 - What the fuck do I spend all these dimes on? My weakest position is probably my GK and I would buy Ter Stegen, but he literally just switched to PSG. Other than that I don't need anything.
