#274969 Regen...

#274967 Juan Fernando Quintero
Sheriff Skacel
Remember though, its not just about Quintero's role, but also your own tactics and the roles of the players around him. For example, its pointless having too many players upfront in 'Attack' capacities as no one will want to come for the ball and create, its pointless having young Quintero cutting inside if you are clogging the middle with 2 Shola Ameobi type strikers, its pointless having Quintero on the pitch if your team features Shola as you are bound to lose, etc
Its mostly common Shola-sense. If your Shola Senses are tingling, act upon it.

And if that search brings up nothing, widen the net. South America, Switzerland, Greece, Spain, South Africa and a few Northern African countries (depending on your DB size)
IF ALL ELSE FAILS. Sign Des Walker.
#274965 FM15 is awful
Sheriff Skacel
Get your tactics together and run with that shit. Apply your own beliefs and work with the FM tactical system till something comes together, just be patient with it. Experience is key, just keep trying and trying.
FM14 I had little luck tactically, took me months to hit my stride. FM15 I nailed it from the off and I've used the same tactic ever since for about 80 seasons of total play time across three different careers.
#274963 Rubbish youth players
Sheriff Skacel
What is pants in your view too? A two star PA player can be tidy for an EPL club. Just ask yourself, how many youngsters have come through the Newcastle academy in the 21st century? Its a waiting game in FM just as it is in real life.
#274962 Worst Player You've Ever Had?
Sheriff Skacel
I've had plenty shite down the years, can't be bothered to dust the cobwebs and trawl my mind archives. So I shall give you a player from my current game. 19 games into a season with Palermo in 2050. Vittorio Di Martino. CM I got from Chievo, had my eyes on him being a starting MC alongside some Nigerian I nabbed from Genoa. So far Di Martino has averaged a 6.7 and a 34 year old Romanian is keeping him out the side.

#236503 Football Manager 2015
Sheriff Skacel
However they face a constant challenge between balancing FM as a game and having FM as a simulation, entertaining the casual player and satisfying the hardcore gamer.
For the most part I haven't got the time anymore to be a hardcore player, bar in wee spurts, but I will never, ever be a casual FM player. I can't stand the watered down features and fluffy experience, but on the flipside I can't be arsed fannying on with half quarter of all the new shit in FM. I only watch my matches in text commentary, press conferences bore me, player tutoring? fucks that?, etc. Some people dig that shit, I have no time for it.
A training revolution in FM is coming, they will overhaul the training system, give us some degree of micro management and sell it as a major new feature for a future FM. They can't shove all their ideas or new features into one release because at that point FM will truly become stale and people will see no need to upgrade.

The best thing to do would be get cracking with her, spend a few weeks planning on it and working on it and then slowly release it to the general populous (if you definitely want to go down that route).

- The board are far more willing to keep budgets consistent even if you are in the red, this is a good thing and far more realistic than constant cuts even if you are trying your best to make money
- I already have the highest sponsorships in the league, this is silly
- I have a continental rep, this is silly
- I'm struggling like mad to shift players at any price, again this needs to be looked at
Overall I would say this is the best FM I've ever played, sure some old problems persist and undoubtedly I'll encounter a lot more as the season progress. The key to FM is to work around the game's deficiencies, for example to battle the constant player moaning I'm turning more to loans and signing up my youth intake for cover. I didn't have one player come to me last season to complain about a lack of playing time.
On the flipside I'm also managing at a relatively high level, in FM13 I was in the Portuguese third division for 30 or 40 seasons and I encountered problem after problem. The higher up you go in FM the less problems you'll stumble across.

One popular son buck. Contract up at the end of the new season, won't renew, sayonara. £205k bids accepted.

That's the setup I've went for, all serve a purpose bar Kim Jae-Eun cos he's the shite scout I brought in from last year. I've decided to banish him to Uzbekistan due to his incompetence.

On the Goyang front I'm handling contract extensions and also looking at bringing in a further three scouts. I want a better knowledge of Korean players, I think we're lacking a little bit right now.

A great season it can't be denied, our totally awful start was completely forgotten once we got rolling. In the end we finished up 18 points better off than last season. It just took us a good few months to find some consistency and also some luck.
There will be changes to the squad as we do have a few tricky contract situations to resolve, I have just signed a new deal but I think I am open to moving on. If an interesting job opens up I will be applying for it.

Not a bad run of form to drag us away from the mire, truth be told we should have finished with five wins in a row as we were 2-0 up vs Suwon and just capitulated. Still, lets not dwell, I think safety is all but guaranteed, we have an eight point cushion and enough in-form players to finish the job.
What do I attribute the good run of form down to? PERSISTENCE. I knew we were playing well in 90% of our games but things just weren't dropping our way, it took us a long time to find our feet but once we did we just kept rolling. I need to build again in the post-season and try to keep our core squad together. Only potential spanner in the works is I have a few contracts running out at the end of next season so I may have to sell a few first teamers rather than lose them on frees.

Not the end of the world like, the loan market seems to be quite viral in Korea in FM15.

Who knows, if I finish the season strong and they chop their manager I could become the 64th favourite for the job.

Delightful unexpected win, still very, very tight at the bottom, I need some of the teams below me to start dropping away just for the sake of my sanity.
#235944 Addickted To Winning (A Charlton story) IIIIIIIIIII

Recent form is certainly an improvement but the table is far too tight for us to start busting out the confetti and Korean hymn books just yet. Need to avoid injury and continue bribing officials until safety is guaranteed.

Got my men, two loans and a 3k upfront 3k over 12 month deal. The men to keep Goyang up.

Will look to the loan market first as I only have £7k to play with, may have to look into the Australian market once more and fill my last foreigner slot.

To combat our leaky defence I have decided to change my FBs into Complete FBs Attack. The best form of defence is offense.
Going to have to look at adding players in the mid-season transfer window too unless things pick up, I just can't quite put my finger on what it is we're missing as the goals have started to come but the wins are yet to follow.

If only we could play against ten men every week.

The past few weeks it seems every game goes as follows;
- Start well
- Concede
- Play well
- Concede again after the 75th minute
- Collapse
- GK leaves early for his post match bath and we concede every shot from that point on
- The youth lad I promoted comes off the bench, scores a goal, it gets ruled out for offside.

I'm seven league games into the season and I only just got my first win, the 433 was delivering good performances but we weren't finishing our chances. Wanted to move to a 352 or 343 but I lack the wingbacks or MR/MLs for that so I opted for a 532. The change produced a 3-1 win so she will be getting a wee run out in the next few weeks.
