Football Manager

How much money is the board giving you to spend?

Hasn't been presented to me yet. I am hopeful of perhaps getting Willian from Shaktar on a free...

[calgaryballer]

Presented now...£450,000!

Fuck

The wage budget is even below what I am spending now

I always try and bring him back in as my Assistant Manager but he'll never even enter into negotiations. He is still unemployed and I'd much rather have him than Sammy Lee. Let me know what kind of formation you end up running.

[calgaryballer]

Ouch. It might be time to move, to a bigger club.

Haven't been a lot of openings around, because I am thinking the same. A def David Moyes/Martin O'Neill situation

[calgaryballer]

There are some international jobs open, may apply for those and take some time away from the club game

[calgaryballer]

They gave me 150-1 odds. To be honest, I probably don't need to expand the squad much

[calgaryballer]

I forgot I had paid Liverpool £4.3mil for Andre Wisdon. Whoops

Don't really need him, but whatever I guess

[calgaryballer]

Peru offered me a job. This will be my chance to get some really wacky formations tried out

[calgaryballer]

4.3 for Wisdom? I've never seen him develop into anything more than a League 2 player. How does he look in your save?

Currently 2.5*, my top scout thinks he can be 4*. So figured it was worth a shot. I need to groom someone to replace Upson, and wanted to keep it English

Oh yeah meant to mention this earlier. So in my save Man United won the Champions League and finished 5th so they auto qualified meaning Man City doesn't get in. Man City had spent 97 million pounds on transfers and they didn't make it.

Fuck me. Just lost Suarez for 2-3 months, Carrol for 2-3 weeks and Kuyt is still out for another month with a broken shoulder. Thankfully it is still August, so much for not buying a striker.

Tomas Necid welcome to Anfield. Tried for Llorente again but they wanted 40 million for him. I somehow managed a 2-0 away win against Arsenal playing a 4-1-4-1 with Wickham alone up top.

[mgoblue2290]

Necid always looks like a player.

You play with two up top? I've always played with just one.

I've had success in my previous Liverpool save playing with one up top so now I'm trying a flat 4-4-2. I have Carroll set as a Target Man and Suarez as a Deep Lying Forward both on attack. I like to mix it up with tactics rather than using one I know for sure will succeed.

When I eventually get bored of this and play with Bayern, I'll probably try a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-2-1.

[Pitty]

Leverkusen, PSV, or Premier League, decisions, decisions.

[mgoblue2290]

I play what amounts to a 4-3-3.

I've actually just switched mine up for the time being to one striker up top because only Suarez and N'Gog really work well with Carroll and their both out. I've done this before but I didn't have it saved so I'm kind of messing with it as I go. Its 4 defenders,1 defensive mid, 2 center mids, 2 attacking mids, and one striker.

I've dominated possession and only allowed 3 shots on target my past two games which goes against my normally offensive style.
