Fantastic work so far! I've never considered managing Borussia Mönchengladbach before, but they really do look like a class act in real life, and on your save.

Good luck for the CL push, hope you can secure it for them!!


Thanks Willz I'm enjoying it immensely especially few youth making their breakthrough into first team.

Good club Gladbach mate, really interesting career to start up.

You hoping to develop the team in a certain way? German regens are usually unbelievable.


Yup, we just got our youth intakes and hopefully I can develop them into unbelievable players I'm going to try and blood in youngsters than splashing silly cash elsewhere.

Good luck with Monchengladbach, I had some good fun when I managed them before my laptop died. Surprised to see Hrgota doing so well, he was rubbish for me. Also has the update removed Andre Hahns release clause? It was something like £3.2m so you'll want to get rid of that if its still there!


Thanks! Unfortunately, Hrgota is having a blip Has not scored since 1st February in all competitions.

But lucky for us, Rizzo, is in hot form for us Been superb since taking over Kruse's place. Currently got 8 goals in 8 games.

Regarding about Hahn's contract, just taken a look and it's not there thankfully.

Pretty happy with our youth intakes

Wow, HOYD picked him as best intakes this season, and I agree with him! He's also labelled as could be the next Paul Breitner.

He looks really promising there, hopefully we can turn him into decent striker.

Great work getting Hazard as European Golden Boy. What tactic are you using to get the best out of him?

Hopefully you can get Champs League football next season and get him back.


When I use 4-4-2 (most of the time) he play as ML - winger attack. If I'm playing 4-2-3-1, he plays as Treq behind striker.

Would be amazing if we could get him back for next season,but he just came back from few months out injured.

What skin are you using?


Aurum


Very strong season so far mate.Champions league football could be heading your way if you keep it up.Alvarez balanta will be a massive signing if you can keep him.Always does good for me.I would of made sure kruse was going to south America and not accepted liverpools offer.


Will be tough especially with teams around me, Already played Bayern and Dortmund away so hopefully we can do them at home!

I couldn't reject any offers for Kruse as he got 9M release clause.

He already been excellent for us since joining. He got 60M release clause so I won't be selling him til they match it

Cheers Johno - I will certainly give it a try as I'm new to FM15. I'd be worried about Fares' goals drying up as a winger, or would you expect his output to be quite similar? He certainly seems to be my most effective player at the moment. Do you think dropping the DLP to a DM slot and giving a support duty would have the same impact as your suggested change? Again, I'm worried about opening up my team too much as we already look as leaky as a sieve.


With my Gladbach save, I got my MR/L as Wingers - attack and both getting few goals and decent assists for other players

I would stick with your current formation but change your wingers to winger attack role. Can I also see your team instructions as well?

I would switch your wingers to winger - attack. or switch DLP to support or AP support.

Copa Libertadores? He probably didn't mention European Champions League?

I still don't know why I signed him in the first place. /o\ Didn't make any appearance for us. Not bad profit and we get 50% of next transfer.

Good riddance!! Been sent off third time this season, warned him twice and fined him a week wage, came up saying it was unfair, so I decided to sell him soon as possible and Fiorentina took him off me for 11.25M. But Arsenal gets 2.8M

I prefer full mode as it gives you options on tutoring etc etc. I did give FMC a go few weeks ago and I admit I did enjoy it as it was less hassle to deal with.

Starting to see alot of people playing on FMC on SI forum.

Shame we're only getting 9M for Kruse Due to his release clause in his contract. Came in saying he wants to leave due to Atlético Madrid interest in him, tried to convince him to stay but wants to go to play in Champions League. Offered him out for 20M but clubs came with 9M. Scored 5 goals in 11 games.

Have got few youngsters in U's19 are playing well so might take a punt on them or switch to 4-2-3-1 from 4-4-2.

Very happy how we started the season, few close games where we lost due to individual mistakes. We was very, very unlucky to go out against Schalke, even Roberto Di Matteo, says they was and admitted we was the better side! Roll on 2015! The board wants Europa League qualification which I'm sure we can this season I'm struggling to get the best out of Max Kruse My aims with Gladbach is to bring in youngsters into first team (few already been playing for us like Joshua Holbty and Dahoud.

In Europa League, we finished top of the group with 2 games to spare, we will be playing Villarreal in First Knockout Round, first leg in Spain.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/gZ6HWXpOx9SgaSP1TPyEu88D33qsMWF5aO8ZfM6e.png

Special mention goes to him! 22 goals in 25 games, been amazing for us and just signed new contract til 2019. Been capped 4 times by Sweden, this season.

Brought him in as back up and already played few games for us.

Ahhh, Begovic Have been utterly brilliant for us since joining in the summer.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/SaHdVfGQrqOSxqAic1Qnt9GKf99ZvL9m8LWb6DKX.png

Just recently joined us and scout thinks he could be a decent player.

Spent 8M on as Domínguez's replacement.

Another American . Will be decent back up for us.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ZphHh4Q4yCmzZJpNN4LXI9Q1kk4funYc7auoZHV9.png

Yup, Third American joins us /o\ Tempted to turn him into an striker/Treq/ false 9.

I was looking at a article (think it was on Football Manager Stories) other day about how American youngsters turns into decent players in the future and that prompted me to look at cheap American to snap up on free.


Feeder clubs

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/mrrrKoA17TvgOs95865klF9t3lrUt0xhRCVjA8CM.png

We added two Merchandise clubs, hopefully we will be raking in decent money from them. Japanese club was added in the summer and Seattle was recently added.
