Mattio Posted 14 January, 2011 Share Posted 14 January, 2011 couple of things i find ridiculous - 1st I came second in the manager of the season awards when I took saints to FIRST in the league when they were predicted 19th... the winner was Mark Hughes who took newcastle to second when they were predicted 1st... go figure... Also the second to last game of the season (away to Newcastle) could have been the game we won the league against the team that was second, yet the away end was practically empty, not very realistic, especially for saints, it would be dellhurst all over again!

Depends how much moolah you have to spend. Have a look out for transfer listed players, you can quite often get some great players from big European clubs like Real and Bayern on the cheap when they fall out of favour. Also scout round the U21 teams of the big International teams for strikers, send scouts to International fixtures etc. You can pick up the next big thing for next to nothing that way.

SNSUN Posted 20 January, 2011 Share Posted 20 January, 2011 Right, got this for Christmas and have been playing it since. First season, Saints went up as Champions, Rickie Lambert was shyte but Barnard was amazing. Second season, scraped the play-offs but won the final, Bebe amd Barnard were key players. Now in the Premiership and am bottom after ten games. My partnership up front is Ched Evans and Connor Wickham. I'm getting demoralised but Villa have offered me the managers job. Do I accept?

Depends if you are playing it like you would have a career (as i am) or just as a Saints fan. Its a hard slog, i got offered the Manure job after the second season in the prem. I turned them down but then had a few hard seasons with Saints, no big teams want me any more but i managed to hold onto Saints job. Still, you need a goalscorer by the sounds of things mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 30 January, 2011 Share Posted 30 January, 2011 Your budget in the second season depends on how much you spend in your first. MLG - any idea how long 11.3 will be after the window shuts tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 30 January, 2011 Author Share Posted 30 January, 2011 I don't know the date yet, but it will be a few weeks after the window closes (possibly even March). The data update will be done relatively soon but the final the patch for FM11 needs to be made and tested with the new data. There are a few unofficial January window data updates you could use until the official one comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skintsaint Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 5th season...3rd in the Premiership - finished 5th and 4th last two season.. Have Dzeko and Benzema up front so expect to challenge for the title this year. Somehow managed to pick them both up on frees although both on 80k a week. Really struggle defensively and think my formation isnt good enough to win though. Let in 74 goals in the league last season - although scored well over 110.

Saint_clark Posted 1 February, 2011 Share Posted 1 February, 2011 2nd season in, top of the Championship although I really wasn't expecting it. I can't really afford to spend anymore money until i've paid off these stupid 48 month things though, why did I do it? Had some fantastic free transfer deals. Anicet Andriantaina (or something) has 24 goals by the 1st of january. Maximiliano Pelligrino is a rock alongside Goncalves at CB. Ismail N'Diaye as an anchor man really shores up the defence and allows David Vaughan to roam forward For some reason Puncheon requested a transfer when bottom of the Prem Bolton came calling...shame as he's been banging them in and we score loads from his corners. Nevermind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 1 February, 2011 Share Posted 1 February, 2011 Arghhhhhhh! 4-1 up away to Leeds with 10 minutes left and we draw 4-4. I went nuts at my team and they all got upset thinking I was being unreasonable - this is something SI really need to change in the next game. Yes, i'd have taken a draw away to Leeds and on the face of it it's a good result. But throwing away a 3 goal lead in the last 10 minutes is justification enough for going mental at my players, and they should accept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 1 February, 2011 Share Posted 1 February, 2011 League Cup Semi-Final 2nd leg, after a 0-0 stalemate at St. Andrews, the valiant Saints come from 2-0 down to thrash Birmingham 6-2!

Tokyo-Saint Posted 4 February, 2011 Share Posted 4 February, 2011 Just done the league and cup double. I lost in the Euro Cup final against Lyon @ Saint Mary's. Unbelievably, the board said they were very pleased with my performance over the season but disappointed about the 2-1 defeat to Lyon. There is no pleasing some people!

saintscottofthenortham Posted 4 February, 2011 Share Posted 4 February, 2011 Just had Dan Seabourne get injured for 9-10 months with a serious viral infection! Not every day you get favours in FM. I have just increased my unbeaten run to 21 games with a 1-6 win away to 4th placed Huddersfield who were on a 5 match winning streak. I am on absolute fire! Scored 73 with only 19 conceded in 24 games, 9 points clear at the top although P'Boro have a game in hand on me. Fabian Brandy has scored 17 in 21 games. All this with Lallana out for the first 3 months of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted 7 February, 2011 Share Posted 7 February, 2011 Doing quite well on this at the moment. Playing a 4-3-3 but I still dont seem to score many although I don't concede very many at all. My team is: GK: Carrizo (he is amazing) DR: Luke Young DC: Jose Fonte (scores tonnes from corners) DC: Sotoris Kryiakos (sp) DL: Wayne Bridge MC: Charlie Adam MC: Ivan Rakitic MC: Morgan Schniederlin FC: Danny Welbeck FC: Andy Carroll FC: Michael Owen Any tips to improve, I'm second season in the Prem by the way.

Papa Shango Posted 9 February, 2011 Share Posted 9 February, 2011 Never play with Saints (Am Malaga atm) but looking at some of the stats for our squad, I reckon Lallana should be rated a bit higher in a few areas (Especially dribbling). Some good players who have done well for me: Yaya Sanogo Alberto Paloschi Sergio Asenjo Dodo Issac Vorsah Kara Breno Anthony Annan Arthur Maia Sergio Feghouli Marco Verratti Esteban Granero Mamoudu Diarra Juan Angel Albin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 15 February, 2011 Author Share Posted 15 February, 2011 (edited) What stat changes, if any, have you made MLG? Most significant one is that Chamberlain will be a lot better (both in CA and PA). A few other tweaks here and there for player stats but nothing major. Plus - Forte, N'Guessan (on loan), Guly and Chaplow all Saints players. - Puncheon and Mills out on loan. - Forecast, Pulis, Garrod and Dean all are emergency loans so aren't included. - Lallana on a new deal - Jim Stannard new goalkeeper coach. I've also added the 6 youngsters that got deals late last year - Jake Sinclair, James Ward-Prowse etc. But I don't think they will be in the patch for legal reasons as they are too young. So you will have to wait until FM 2012. Edited 15 February, 2011 by Matthew Le God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game doesn't really allow you to stop things like this. Would need a lot of tweaking to the financial module. Also not helped by Saints no longer having sugar daddy ticked.
