Has any kind soul got any activations left from fmrte for fm2012? $3 is more than I want to pay for such an old version, thanks in advance!

40 days and 13 hours!

Always used some kind of variant of 4-4-2, the only major change was when i swapped wingers for inside forwards. Yeah its crazy Wigan were in Blue Square North last season I believe! And Chelmsford are there because thats where I took them when I first started the game aha.

Hey guys, just wanted to show you I managed to win all 38 games of a season! In fact the only game I didn't win all season was a first leg CL QF. I know its FM2010 and I'm Man City but still... oh and I didn't cheat or save before every game or anything just in case you thought I'd do such a...

I play him as a midfielder most of the time to be fair, if he's up front in a striker support role he gets a few more!

Alright guys, so I'm here to ask for everyone's 2 cents on how to approach a cup final - mainly FA Cup and Champions League. I'm currently managing Man City in 2031, and in my 8 or 9 years there I've been in 11 finals (6 FA Cup, 5 CL) and only won 3 (2 FA, 1 CL). I should mention 2 losses came...

Good to know, I thought head to head was purely points based, and afterwards went straight to overall GD.

hang on, with the head to head results, you edged out on Napoli, Porto edged out on you, but Napoli edged out on Porto so... I can't work it out, but that must be something to do with it!

I can help with #3 - train him to blast the ball into the back of then net, because he has low technique. You could try setting his dribbling to rarely as well but I'm afraid I've never played 1 up top so I can't comment on #2. As for #1 I don't really know, that poor first touch and dribbling...

It's difficult to turn it around in less than a season, but whenever I've taken over a big club who are struggling, the board don't set me any targets until the next season. So I use that first one to get my players used to a tactic, and also get them to earn their place. At the very least if...

I actually wouldn't be that surprised if real managers used FM for scouting. Not for detailed reports etc, but for scanning the database for players that wouldn't normally come up on the club's radar. Blackpool won't have scouts based in every country - even in just Europe - so there wouldn't...

I've had a lot of success with 4-4-2. I use a ball-playing stopper and a central cover as centre backs, 2 full backs set to automatic and I make sure they both have half decent crossing attributes. Centre mid I've had success with both an advanced or deep-lying playmaker in combination with a...

Not so with me! I enjoy playing the game years in the future. 4 years with Liverpool winning the Champs League was followed by a disastrous 10 months at top team Spurs. 3 days after the sack Man City hired me and I'm still there. 3 consecutive league wins and a few cups, but the Champions League...

Similar story for me with BSS side Chelmsford. Consecutive promotions until the Championship, where I spent 4 years before promotion. First season in the PL came 7th, a few months into the next season I took over Liverpool. Chelmsford have remained a mid/lower table \PL team since.
