LOL why not mate?

It would be sad to beat Chelsea to a trophy. Even though it's just a game, I can't do it

Though I have no problems dumping us out of the CL

in my first season as Blackpool went up through the Play-offs and ive just signed Joe Cole on a free and David Beckham purely for the shirt sales LOL

[Jase 43,479]

My Chelsea save got corrupted again in the same year as the previous one!! :rant:

[J.F. 1,484]

After 9 years, and many many many trophies, i resigned as Chelsea manager, now probably going to wait for Boavista manager to get sacked to start new era there.

Let's paaarty!

Try to get Rivaldo, his technical ability on the game is unbelievable. Take out his physical stats and he's a better player than Messi. Amazingly overrated, but still:

Are you considered a club 'Legend' on the info screen?

[capriccioso 2,545]

First European win

And here is how the group stands at the moment:

It looks as though we'll be into the round of 32 at this point. We could draw AC Milan, Inter or Dortmund if the CL stays the same and they get knocked down to the Europa League

[J.F. 1,484]

I'm not Chelsea legend, but my name is on 'Icons' so i'm happy with that, btw. i strated new save because Boavista was really fucked up i coudn't find them, so this is really great challenge now, in 3-4 years i want to play with them atleast Europa League. It's going to be sexy.

Meet the stable of regens who will bring this club glory:

Nuno Sa

Already a wonderfully gifted winger, he is in and around my first team at the age of 16.

Ricardo Labrador

Broke into the first team last year with 10 appearances, but with Vaguinho struggling a touch in the big league, he is fast becoming my go-to creative influence up front.

Andre

Not yet ready for the first team but in 3-4 years time- when those mental attributes get better- he'll be a 40 goal a season striker.

Ricardo

Similarly to Andre, he excels at certain parts of being a defender but is lacking in a couple of key areas, which will be built up over the coming seasons. He will become a rock at the back.

Sergio Abreu

This guy is my Xavi, my Pirlo, my midfield general, already. He is a couple of years away from being a fully complete midfielder but when he does, he will be a monster.

Francisco Braga

I see a couple of special things at age 16 from this kid (most notably, his stamina and his sheer size). He won't be a world class left back but by the time he's in his 20's he'll shit on everyone else in Portugal.

Joao Andrade

Needs a little more work on his heading, marking, jumping and strength. Once he gets those sorted he'll be a world class centre back.

While these are the jewels of my youth academy, there are plenty of other players good enough to be the crown to build those jewels on- decent squad players.

^ Had a save with Gondomar in Portugal on FM 11. Was enjoyable, we went from the second division to UCL in a few seasons. Remember beating the likes of Juve, PSV et al but the league itself was too difficult. Porto walked it every year.

Portugal is the best place to manage lower leagues. I had a long save with Fatima on FM 11 as well, this year I seem to have stumbled upon a team with great luck/youth facilities. I have 12 regens with PA > 140, Benfica have 11, Sporting have 9 and Braga have 8. Porto however have an incredible 17. It looks like it will continued to be dominated by those 4 clubs for a while, 12 aren't going to be enough to win a title. And some big club will probably try and steal them off me, I lost a good regen last season because my dickhead chairman accepted a 600k offer.

Where can you get the latest update from?!?!

Also all my saves are somehow going corrupt, its fucking annoying, can't load shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

hes still going lol

[ZanSnake 1,211]

I am missing this game now i am looking into this thread, haven't got FM12 anymore as well as my FM10 deciding not to work anymore. Wish i had some money to buy it I guess i'll have to venture inward the dark side.

Rivaldo looks awesome in that screenshot!!

[termninja 5,290]

Oh fuck my world! Just spent over 2 hours getting things ready in FM to play it. I put in new kits for lots of PL clubs, put in a transfer update, created a new tactic and picked my transfer targets.

AND THEN I NOTICED THAT THE IN GAME DATE IS DECEMBER and that there are no games to play until august! All fell in water, it could be a bug because of transfer update or I made a mistake when I was starting the game...

Transfer update I used also edits the ratings in game. Oscar is alright, he has great potential, but Sturridge and Marin are shit.

Also, which striker should I try to bring since Sturridge and Lukaku's ratings are really bad and I don't have Drogba anymore? I'm not confident with Torres, especially since he is injury prone and FM12's injury system is awful.

RVP won't join me even though he wants to leave.

Tevez would cost too much as Cavani probably would.

Falcao is not interested.

You have 2 so pick your poison. I took LFCMarshall. Don't be surprised if there are some bugs in or crashes.
