First thing I do is sell Torres and replace him with Cavani. I can't believe they've actually made him better. What bullshit!

Yeah I know, but isnt this good for us? I mean, a couple of extra money is always good!

What a match this was. First knockout round in the Champions League, result of the first leg was 1-1. El Shaarawy got himself sent off in the 3rd minute but everything looked to be going my way when André Ayew scored two goals inside 30 minutes, pretty much the only chances I got when playing with only ten men. However, in the second half Lyon really stepped up their game and scored a two goals and it looked very much like game over, especially when my captain Papadopoulos got himself sent off as well in the 74th minute, forcing my team to play the rest of the match with only nine men. Lyon then scored their third goal, making it 3-4 on aggregate and as they had three away goals too, I needed to score at least two goals without conceding to qualify for the next round. I desperately switched my team mentality to overload and changed everyone's role to attack, leaving only a 19-year-old centre back in defense all by himself as I even pushed my full-backs more higher up the pitch and the other CB was already red carded.

In the final ten minutes of the match, the impossible happened with Cavani scoring two great wondergoals and Juan Mata then finishing them off with a goal from my own half after their keeper was up in my box for a set-piece. Probably the greatest FM match I've ever played.

Had a similar game in FM11 before...

It probably wasn't as dramatic as yours but the game against Madrid was still pretty crazy for me especially when I have a poor record against them.

Lost the 1st leg 1-0 at home. Leveled the tie immediately straight from kick off, which was good and helpful. Madrid scored but didn't matter. Still need another to progress but then Pjanic gets sent off. Down 10 men. Continued playing the same way(went with 4-2-2-2 originally) but only 1 ST after the sending off. Got the 2nd goal, yay but then another red card! Had to defend with 9 men and even managed to keep them at arm's length. Hardly any pressure from them as the shots count suggest. Caught them on the counter later on, got a penalty, bam 3-1 and game over! :D

Norwich were dire in FM 12. i went with a suicidal 4-4-2 formation. Grant Holt was a waste of space from day One . got sacked in March.relegated in April. then joined Burnley. was too far behind to catch up with the playoffs. now signing South African NT players for Burnley

Is there some kind of roster patch which has the latest team rosters? If there isn't then one from summer of 2012 would do too. I am in the mood to kick some ass but I want to do it with the latest squad.

Started a new Chelsea save. In my second season. Managed to sell Torres to Arsenal for £11.5m and sign Rooney for £25m + Marin :ph34r:

Cech;

Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry, Cole;

Mikel, Benat;

Hazard, Mata, Schurrle;

Rooney.

It's kinda sad how much I'm destroying teams. heh.

I rotate Azpi + Ivanovic depending on who we face and of course Zouma is young so doesn't start every game. But anyway, I'm happy with this XI :D

with Portsmouth atm. No money, no prospect of money. just 18 guys in the squad but it helps that few of them are utility players who fill more than 1 position

anyone know great players for less than 250k? (FM 12)
