Season 2018/2019 Preview
We've made good use of the funds we got for the last season, and the squad is almost unrecognizable now. I hope all the new people will gel into a team quickly. If they do, there's nothing that should stop us from another successful Bundesliga result. The bookies see us...
2017/2018 Season Review
The 2017/2018 season is all over, and it was a remarkable season for Kaiserslautern!
After we only managed to pick up 17 points in the first half of the season, the second half saw a boost in performance, mainly due to the acquiry of Guido Burgstaller and his ability to...
2018 Midseason review
It's winter break in the 2018 Bundesliga season, and we've seen some crazy matches here in Kaiserslautern:
The season started off well with a 2-0 home win versus Augsburg and two draws against higher rated Frankfurt and Hertha BSC Berlin. Then we had to face title...
2018 squad overview:
Goalkeepers:
With two talented young goalkeepers, I'm really spoilt for choice here. After comparing them, I guess I will start with Julian Pollersbeck as my number 1 as he's still slightly better in the key attributes. However, Fabian Bredlow will be on his tail and...
The off-season is over and our first season (and hopefully not the last) in the Bundesliga is about to start.
I'll start out with the transfers I made, and I can say, it was a busy window. In a second post, I'll have a more detailed look at the squad and some tactic changes.
Departures:
-...
The 2017 season is finally over, and I have some good news and some bad news.
Let's start with the good news then:
We did the unexpected and won promotion right in the first season! In a close race for the promotion spots, we ended up on the relegation spot. Somehow. After lots of ups and...
First half of the season is over and we are doing surprisingly well so far:
Sitting in 3rd place with equal points to the 1st-placed Stuttgart team is a surprise, but I'll take it. The FCK 4-1-2-3 WingPlay tactic and it's variations worked really well with my team, the other tactic I made...
Hey there,
I've just started out with FM2017, the last version I played was FM2014 and I had a long AAR with Dynamo Dresden here back in times of FM2011.
This time, I thought I'm going to write about my first career game in FM2017, managing my favorite club 1.FC Kaiserslautern. I've been...
In the friendlies in pre season, I always do Tactics only as match training to get the experience with my tactics up quick. I never moved the slider further than 1 and 1/2 day of match training (match day + half the day before match) though, and had good results that way.
What you want is to...
As you can see on the calendar, all they do is match training now. Try to move the scheduling slider towards less match training and you will see how the calendar changes.
Don't care about transfer budget if you got perfect youth facilities. You easily get 4-5 quality regens which turn 17 each season and can be included into the squad.
Hey there,
I just wanted to ask if there are any settings available to make the game a little more challenging ? Does the manager's previous footballer experience influence the difficulty of the game ?
Background info: Bought FM 2014 a week ago and started a game with Kaiserslautern (german...
