FM14 - Susie On Tour #2: Melbourne Heart

Yeah that really bugs me too. I've just started my third season and for the first game of the season I was given the option of asking to postpone my match due to international call-ups. It was accepted.

I also had this job offer end of the second season:

I hate the Australian league wage budgets.

Great turn around in your 2nd Round Champions League game DanW19. Coming back from a 3-1 home defeat is impressive. Also, do you happen to know what logo pack you are using? All your team logos look nice & glossy!



Is there anywhere you can actually see your current wage budget? I couldn't find where the actual allowed amount was displayed, only my overall weekly wage spend which included marquee players & youth players.

BOT Brad I just meant the salary cap that we have to live by for the season. All my players want contract renewals which will make me unable to register all my squad.

Yeah..

Yeah that's what I was talking about, but I couldn't find anywhere which said what the cap was, or how far under it I was. I agree, I had to go through the last season with just 17 players because a few decent regens I had wanted bigger contracts.

Thanks BOT Brad I was impressed to get that far let alone turn it around! As for the logos I wouldn't have a clue, I imagine it was a megapack either here on from FM Base

So that's my second season finished in Australia. Here's how I did.

A-League: Winners = 25 points
A-League Finals: Winners = 10 points
Champions League: Winners = 50 points

Rivalries:
Melbourne Victory: 2 wins (2-1, 2-0) = 10 points
Sydney FC: 2 wins: (5-0, 2-0) = 6 points
Wanderers FC: 3 wins (3-0, 3-2, 2-0) = 9 points

Total: 25+10+10+6+9+50=110 points




Transfers:


League Table:


Fixtures (League)


Fixtures (Finals)


Champions League:




So the points total is:

Season 1 + 2 = 57 + 110= 167

Cracking total that DanW19, don't think anyone will come close to challenging that.

Remember BOT Brad finished on 317, so I was nowhere near his total, its possible for people to beat me easily

Yeeeah, I don't want to give the fans value for money early on...



Boring, boring Heart.

Some good seasons so far, I'm going to struggle to beat anyone. I think what has cost me was not qualifying for the Champions League in my first season as the 2nd season is the only chance to have to go through the entire tournament in time.

In my 3rd season and I'm struggling for numbers. Everyone wants a pay rise so I'm finding it hard to stay in the salary cap. I've had to release so many players.

1st season score

League - 25 points


Finals - 10 points


Rivals - 13 points


1st season total - 48 points

Harry Kewell was either injured or trump, so didn't win anything

Overall a pretty poor total, inability to beat Western Sydney is a problem. On to the 2nd season!!

He was exactly the same for me, huge disappointment.

Yeah I had quite a few players unavailable...

Had to play three greyed out fake players, with another three on the bench. One of them actually scored but unsurprisingly, I lost.

And not even an option to postpone the game? Ridiculous.

I've made a decent start to my second season in charge of Heart as we're sitting top of the table after nine games but we've only scored thirteen goals so we're not entertaining.

When do Australian regens appear? I'm looking to raid the AIS when they do

Finished my 3rd season now, and another successful season!

Points are as followed:

League: Winners = 25 points
Finals: Winners = 10 points
Champions League = Quarter Finals (couldn't go further) = 10 points

Rivalries:
Melbourne Victory: 3 wins: (1-0, 1-0, 3-0) = 15 points
Sydney FC: 3 wins (1-0, 1-0, 3-1) = 9 points
Wanderers FC: 2 wins (1-0, 2-1) = 6 points

Points for 3rd season = 25+10+10+15+9+6=75

Transfers:


League Table:


Fixtures (League)


Fixtures (Finals)


Fixtures (Champions League)


So the total for my 3 seasons is:

Season 1 = 57
Season 2 = 110
Season 3 = 75

Total = 57+110+75=242

Well there we go, you beat me by 1point! haha

I know. Really annoying and pretty unrealistic.



I'm not sure about other teams but I've had/got some very good players come through my youth team.

Cracking work here gents, I will update the leaderboard over the weekend.

Yeah, I had 2 really good youth players after my 1st season (Shane Pickering who scored a lot of goals in my last 2 seasons, and Theo Dunn a centre-half), both of whom were first-team regulars pretty much straight away. Had another decent youth player in my final season too but he got injured in a youth game and missed the rest of the season.

Have finished my 1st season and I have no idea how I am still in a job.. hopefully the wins in my last 2 games will keep me for next season where I must improve the defence as you can see the amount of goals I conceded was ridiculous need some new defenders Hoffman and Nuno Gomes did really well and scored goals! Despite that awful run I was only 2 wins off the play offs shows how close this league is. But I finished rock bottom my home form was the worst in the league my away form wasn't bad but too many goals conceded and shit home form has nearly got me sacked.






No points for league finish Harry Kewell was injured for alot of games and only scored one goal still Beat Melbourne Victory once 5 points, Sydney FC once 3 points and Wanderers FC once 3 points, least I have kept my job must get a play off place next season!

Total an embarrassing 11 points

Finished my 1st season. Am struggling with the wage cap, in fact Kewell may not sign a new deal :/

Harry Kewell challenge : Failed. Managed a grand total of 13 starts and 1 sub appearance lol.


Season 1 total 46 pts

So completed my first season, and a mixed bag. Slow start to the year, but once I got the team playing to my tactics they went on a run which saw us go from 8th to 1st in the space of 3 games. Stayed there until the end of the season, and came top of the league.

League 25, plus loss in major semi final which is 2, so 27 in total for League campaign



Player of the Year 25



Golden Boot 20



Rivalries

Melbourne Victory - Played 3, Won 3 = 15
Sydney FC - Played 3, Won 3 = 9
Western Sydney - Played 3, Won 3 = 9

Giving me a grand total this season of 105

Aiming to improve in season 2. Tied Harry down to a new contract fairly early on so no worries there.

Nice to see somebody else get the best out of Harry Kewell, MarkC1984.
