Football Manager '16

[OnlyOne]

Is this game bullshit?? I bought the demo, was Arsenal vs Liverpool, all my players in form and good morale after team meetings and stuff. But I just can't beat them? I've tried over 10 times, different formations and tactics and **** but no matter what I concede at least 3 goals, its absolute ****.

''Arsenal have accepted an offer of €37 000 000 from Real Madrid for Serge Gnabry.''

Sometimes something you say in the build-up swings things against you. Sometimes what you work on in training is the key to getting a result (you should be scouting the next opponent for tips).

His potential is quite high. How far in the game did that bid come in?

Two years and he's not doing that great to be honest.

I recommend picking up Isaac Hayden if you can, he's my best player playing DM, doing a solid job for my Dynamo Dresden in the German first division, even scoring a couple crucial goals, rated as a leading player for most first division sides.

Other good players I've got:

Roberto Insigne AMC advanced playmaker
Marvin Stefaniak winger/inside forward
Leonardo Gatto complete forward
Felipe Avenatti target man.
Mario Pavelic fullback either side
and Adam Bogdan is a decent keeper for a lower/mid table side.

Whatever you do, don't bother managing in Spain if you're not one of the big two, most futile exercise ever.

I'm Athletic Bilbao and am in my 3rd season in Spain, I've finished 3rd in each of my previous seasons and I've always been like "Right, I can move on and build on this great finish" and it has never happened. The big two are just too good, always so consistent and always have the beat of me in the big games.

Might be because of the all Basque policy.

Last time I played football manager I was blackpool I think it was in the prem, I loaned Denison from Arsenal and he got sent off five times in a row...

After that I thought nah cant be arsed, much prefer the old football manager

Having bought every fm game from 2008 until 2015 I decided not to pay for fm16, I'm low on money and as usual there's not an awful lot of new/better content. SI add or modify few features every game and it's become their cash cow, sucking people to pay up for every new version because it's new.
If someone can pm me a link to download the game for free, I'd appreciate it

There is a site, that updates all the old data of football manager games to modern day..

Don't ask me about the address cause I don't know... But I know of its existence

Took over Arsenal at the end of the 18/19 season when Wenger retired after taking West Ham to the CL two seasons in a row. Ramsey became the heartbeat of my title winning Arsenal side as a roaming playmaker and now as a deep playmaker as his legs are starting to go.

So I won the league with Arsenal and the season is finished, message in my inbox says Pep just took over Chelsea, my reaction....

Feels a bit rushed this year, still good and some decent features but meh.

I like draft-mode though, speaking of draft-mode, does anyone want to have a go?

 

[SuperGoon]

I'm a complete newb. Way out of my depth in career mode.

Is it better to go for a lower league team or go right for a big team all Sherwood style?

nice info ....if they introduce lots of new things, i keep away until the next year.

Big.

yeah, look for:

1. a rich club
2. less first team players (about 20)

I used to play Fulham a lot...nice squad and good finances.

Ah Football manager.

At moments of weakness, at maybe 5-7 year intervals, I pick up a copy and tend to get completely sucked into it, at the expense of the current missus, work, school etc.

Last time out was FM2014. Have a penchant for picking a leauge one team and making them world beaters. Wolves was my last project. Thing is, eventually you always win. AI managers are stupid.

Does anyone know this site guys? I would be happy to jusst have the updated transfers/managers etc on my fm15 rather than buy the new game. I remember doing in on the editor once before but it took me about 5 hours all in!
