Football Manager

The animations seem much smoother, and the attacking AI seems smarter. In a friendly against At Madrid, Kiesling and Helmes created a 2 v 1 chance. In years past, Kiesling would probably have run straight and then launched the ball over the net. In this one, he drew the defender to him, and then laid an easy square ball in to the path of Helmes for a tap in. I've been screaming at my strikers for years for that kind of finish
 
Good decision on not going with Newcastle. I had a similar game last year and am having trouble getting into my Newcastle game, plus, we suck.
 
Probably going to start a game over. Don't really want to go through preseason again, but my team is awful. I heard Man City offer up to 10mil for Vuckic, so I'm going to try and get on that.
 
Im buying this from Steam tonight, dont know who Im gonna go with. Need to find some skins ASAP!

And Im also gonna download the new FIFA Manager 11 game tonight as well to see how it is.
 
The draw I mentioned earlier was for the Europa League, my apologies, not the Champions League.

Won all 6 games in the gorup, and drew Sporting CP in the first knockout round. Winner of our matchup will play the winner of Napoli/Manchester City.

So far in domestic play through 16 games we have 9 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses, and are third in the table.

van der Vaart has been my best player by a wide margin, with 7 goals, 5 assists, and a 7.29 rating in 15 league apps.
Gomes, and my defense has also been very strong, with Gomes turning in a 7.11 and 9 clean sheets, Gallas with a 7.25, King with a 7.16 (though only in 5 matches due to missing several weeks with an injury), Dawson with a 7.15 in 14 apps.

Bale has been my best midfield player on the left wing with 2 goals and 2 assists, 7.08 rating in 15 apps, Cahill with 4 goals, 4 assists, 7.06 rating.

Defoe started off the campaign well, but has fizzled out tremendously as of late. He's got 6 goals and 3 assists, and a rating of 7.07 in 14 apps thus far, but is goalless in his last 5 premiership appearances, and did not appear in my last match as I went with Crouch over him.
 
Jermaine Defoe is completely useless.

It's been 10 league games (8 that he's played in) since scoring.

Now that I'm in January, I'm definitely going to be looking for a striker.

Outgoing so far:

Kaboul to OL for £5m
O'Hara to Derby for £3.1m
Bentley to Sunderland for £3.3m
Corluka to Atletico Madrid for £3.8m
Palacios to Espanyol for £4.3m

As for the formation I'm using, I've switched it a little bit, to a 4-3-2-1 pyramid. The two wide midfielders are wingers, the central midfielder is a ball winning midfielder in a defense role, AMCR (VdV) is a trequartista, AMCL is a supporting advanced playmaker, and ST is an attacking forward. Both fullbacks are set to defend, and one defender is a CD, the other a limited defender.

I've got £16.25m available for transfers.

I was targeting Ashley Young, but he picked up a serious injury, so he's off the radar at least until the summer.

As for strikers that I'm targeting: Dzeko is the main one, but I'm also interested in Neymar, Luis Suarez, Eduardo, and maybe Lewandoski.
 
Signed Dzeko for an initial fee of £8.5m, with £21.5m due over 48 months, and Julio Baptista for £7.5m. Obviously, I would have preferred to sign Ashley Young for that particular spot, but Baptista is a suitable fallback option.

Going with:

------------Dzeko---------------
-----Baptista---van der Vaart----
Bale--------Cahill----------Modric
Ekotto--Gallas--Woodgate--Hutton

At the end of January now, we're 4th in the table through 24 games with 12 wins, 6 draws, 6 losses. 36 GF, 23 GA.
 
Better fix that D!

And youre like Arsenal, only 2 Englishmen in you starting XI haha
 
Anyone find any decent skins yet, all I could find were some that were still pretty dark.
 
Defeated Sporting 5-0 on aggregate in the first knockout round of the Europa League.
Defeated Man City 1-0 in the second knockout round.

Drew Arsenal in the quarters, and winner of that plays the winner of Leverkusen-Atletico Madrid.

In domestic play, we're 5th in the table with 50 points through 29 games.

van der Vaart, who was so good early on in the season, has disappeared since his return from injury, turning in a 6.0 or lower in 3 of his last 5 games. He's been particularly wasteful with his shooting, having been on target just 2 times in his last 14 attempts.
 
Struggling for goals so far. Kiessling has hit 5 posts through 3 games, and Helmes can't hit the target. Two 1-1 draws and a 0-1 loss (with 24 shots for vs 2 against) against a tough schedule.

Played Hoffenheim, Schalke, HSV, Stuttgart and Bayern as my first 5 Bundesliga games. Really need to take some points from Bayern and Stuttgart

Crushed Wisla in the Euro Cup qualifying stages
 
I actually decided to start in the MLS with the Red Bulls. First singing was Fortune, and second was some Van der something guy. Got both on frees, then traded for Brek Shae, tried to get Danny fomr Philly, but they werent having none of it.
 
Eliminated by Arsenal in the Europa League.

Had a really poor run out in England, finishing with 16 wins, 12 draws, and 10 losses for 7th, 2 points behind City for Europe qualification.

There are going to be some wholesale changes this summer, starting with getting rid of van der Vaart. He contributed absolutely nothing at any point after January. Dzeko was largely disappointing until the final two games of the season, where he chipped in with 3 goals in the last two. He had only 2 goals in his first 11 appearances.

Interestingly enough, Liverpool won the league.

Modric wound up being my player of the year, with a 7.18 rating in 33 apps. 6 goals and 10 assists. Cahill had 9 goals and 5 assists.

I'll be looking for sure this summer for some upgrades in the defense, a trequartista to replace VdV, and maybe a future replacement as the ball winning midfielder for Cahill, as he's getting up there in years.
 
Just picked up my first point with Woking after this goal.
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW3yHJlO-zU[/ame]
Signed a few guys and my team has drastically improved. If I can get a winger and striker I should be able to survive comfortably.
 
Orrrrr not.

Board only gave me £7m as a transfer budget. Fortunately I don't need to do much, but I was hoping for more.

van der Vaart to Napoli for £6.5m
