FM 12?

Search the South African NT, good cheap midfielders there. Try the loan and free tansfer market but be prepared to spend a lot of time scouting. Use filters wisely.

yeah. 12. tried to sign Modise from the South African team. clubs all over Europe want him unfortunately.

Mahamadou Diarra is a free-agent and Joe Allen is available for 2.8mil. trying them now. Norwich is absolutely useless in this game. no quality at all

edit: Damn! Siyanda Xulu work permit turned down. wtf. i don't have a defence without that guy

Scouting is really the be all and end all in FM. Invest your time in it and you'll rub shoulders with the big hitters of the league. That, and basing your tactics around your personnel.

I've now lead Gondomar (Portuguese 3rd division) to back-to-back promotions and currently in 7th place in the first division; was predicted to finish last all three years.

Try East Europe as well, you won't have WP problems for guys from there. For a club of Norwich's resources, you'll find affordable buys there and in the second divisions of the French, Spanish, Italian leagues.

signed Malian midfielder Sidi Keita for 100k and Teko Modise for 350k. fairly happy although i think i'm headed for a relegation dog-fight.

took up norwich to enjoy a proper relegation scrap

Bought myself Football Manager 2013, On account that I am going to be working away a lot and there is, after all, only so much porn one can watch. Any advice on tactics, training, players would be greatly appreciated.

[Ramzi 233]

Is this game worth the $40.00 price tag?? Would you guys recommend it?

$40?

WOW, first ever product that is cheaper in Brazil!

I dont know, do you ike the previous ones? If you do, than yes, it is an improvement. If you will just be an ocasionl players, then wait for the crack that might get released in Feb 2013. I just have to warn you that my friend has a Mac and it crashes a lot, not happening with my Windows though.

I just finished my first season with Chelsea (FA Cup SFs, UCL QFs and 2nd on EPL). I could post some screenshots of my team, formation, etc (if you wish)...

Fisrt Team (4-2-3-1): Cech; Azi, Terry, Luiz, Cole; Lampard, Ramires; Hazard, Jovetic, Mata; Higuain.

Personally, I wouldn't. Not sure if the FM13 demo is available but if it is, then you might want to try that out first before buying the actual game.

Please do, and I've never played this game before but heard it's pretty good, but $40 seems so expensive to me.

On on and off with a save for a while. Here's some screenshots of random stuff and achievements:

Hall of fame:

Need to pass Fergie then I'll start another save!

My best players:

These players are all regens (regenerated players). The wonderkids of today are mostly near retirement so new regens get generated each year. Keeps the game fun to hunt for the very best ones.

Alright, I think I will be able to play it when the holidays are over and then I will post the screenshots.

Ramzi, if you have the money lying around and wont use it, I would definetly buy it. However, if you will have to give up on anything else to buy it, I wouldnt.

For me, FM is nice because it is definetly real and challenging. Some people dont like it, but if you like to spend time meticulously planning your coaching, then go for it. I view it much more as a strategic game than a fun arcade game (like Fifa Career Mode).
