Football Manager 2011

[Chubbs]

Thought i'd start a new one for this.

The Demo has been out a while now, what does everyone think?

I have allready done my 1/2 season with swindon which i am top of the league, waiting for the game to be released so i can carry on.
Im currently having a play around with Man City and have just found a very handy tool. The "interact with board" button when you have no transfer funds left. I've just spent 90 odd mil on new players and have ran out of transfer funds.
My scout pops up saying that Fabregas would be a signing of the highest calliber. But i have no money, Not a problem, i used the "interact with board" button saying i think signing cesc would help me achieve my goals, they said no at first but i persisted and they aggreed. Next think i know the board take matters into their own hands and end up signing fabregas for me for 84mil. Love it.

Im quite enjoying the game as a whole. I'll post up some decent players i've found soon

One thing i have found very annoying is thats its impossible getting rid off players. I just cant get rid of the likes of bridge, lescott, santa cruz, SWP for shit. I've even offered them to clubs for 1m each and not one club will make a bit, They are just hogging up shit load of wages.

I've lost the love.  Desperately trying to recapture my addiction to the game, but just cannot get into the demo at the moment.  Started with Man City but haven't even been able to motivate myself to play past pre-season....

If you play as Man City play Alex Henshall and the town get £500,000.

  completed my first half of the season as swindon was first for most of it then dossevi and douglas got injured for quite a long time and we dropped four places

Dossevi is shit hot isnt he. Its nice to play FM and Swindon are actually decent for once!!

Proving with doubt that Football Manager is a load of bollocks!

[Jean-Francois is God]

You are talking bollocks.

I played a bit of FM2010 last night and in my second season at the helm of Swindon I managed to somehow get a 2-1 win at Middlesbrough thanks to goals from Nathan Tyson and Michael Timlin but then got dicked 1-0 by Coventry at a capacity County Ground.

In my first season I won promotion after finishing 2nd and I won the JPT.  And some people say this game is not realistic.

Got an awesome game on FM2010 where its all the UK teams combined in to 8 leagues, due to this i cant stop playing it to play the demo!

[Peter Venkman]

I like the improvements but still cannot get any formation working except the bog standard 4-4-2.

The interaction is a big improvement but really need a good attacking formation, I dont let many goals in but dont score many either.

How do you do that?

Try 4-5-1 with Attacking midfielders right and left. Bebe. O'Brien, Dossevi and Myrie-Williams all play well for me there. Charlie/Koroma through the middle. You can vary the width/tempo/defensive line with it to suit other teams. You can control and contain games quite well with 4-5-1 and I do seem to score a fair few goals.

Trying that now, its one of the systems I havent used so far so lets see.....
