    How to arrange friendlies?

    Alternatively, click on any team you wish to playu against and there should be a button in the top left with "propose a friendly" written in it. Click that and find an appropriate date.

    Most undefeated league games?

    Well done, mate - must be a monster of a squad you have had for the past few seasons. How have you done in the other competitions, and in Europe.

    Funny/Random things in FM2012

    That is a straight punch to the screen for me. Wow.

    Tell Me Your Best Transfers

    Well, my best was definitely signing a 31 year old Philip Hughes on a free at the start of my third season in the expanded League of Ireland save I have. I reckoned I might get one good season out of him and be glad of that. Despite his age, he powered me towards the First Division title and...

    How do you play FM?

    Generally watching the TV - I'd hate to imagine what noises I make during the matches if I could hear myself.

    The hardest FM has ever trolled you?

    Odd one for me last night. I'm playing an expanded League of Ireland and with a formerly no-hoper team who have made it to the top division, probably in spite of my guidance. It's our second season up, and the squad has been dramatically strengthened in the past six months, so we should be...

    Injections

    Only ever used it once, before a cup semi final. Player took it, and I cannot recall well, but I think he played OK. My focus was more on it being a cup semi, and seeing as we lost (third year in a row to lose in the semi), I forgot about it pretty quickly - I don't recall there being any...

    One year contract

    I normally start with an abyssmal team and get them relegated in spite of an excellent fight, which in the long run essentially turns it into a one season contract: combine this with frequent media appearances, and you can (as I have) be able to successfully apply for a job at a much better...

    New to FM'12

    After you reloaded it, did you click on "add manager"? That would explain why you are forced to take another club. If you did, you don't need to add a manager in a save.

    Ultimate mind game against Mourinho

    I love the fact that going from offer, to acceptance, to leaving Madrid, to being fired, all took less than 1 day according to the email list!

    chairman selling club

    Got screwed with this once before. I made an edit to extend the League of Ireland to a five tier league with regional groups. Took over one of my home town clubs in the fourth or fifth tier - I think I may have had to create them from scratch. The chairman loved the club, but the club was...

    Playoff Place Weridness

    Dunno about the Dutch League, but I know in the second tier of Belgian football, there is a thing where the play off places are decided by who does best in three different periods of the league campaign. First place is automatic promotion, and then three play-off places. Frutratingly, it is...

    You class this as cheating?...

    Hmm, that suggests an interesting one to edit and just watch: edit in those three into the Walsall team, add a couple of decent Championship players to augment the team, and put Brian McLaren as manager - play it out for a season and see if they can avoid relegation...

    How to make things harder?

    I'd agree with Rangers26. The rep that Rangers have is enough to attract any of the better free agents who would consider playing in your division and many who ordinarily would not. If there is no proper embargo on transfers and you have some funds, you will also easily sign the best players...

    How many football manager profiles do you have?

    I have two. One for all my Ireland (home country) based saves, and one for my hopscotch through a number of countries saves. Strangely enough, I generally use a pseudoname for the home ones, and my real name for the international ones - don't really know why, just been doing it that way for years.
