    Are you serious? I've always tended to sub guys off if they've dipped below 70% and are not playing very well.

    Post Your Frustrations

    It is amazing at how quickly this game can get you wound up though. I wasn't even playing it, busy surfing the web and my brother handed me his laptop and asked me to manage his game away to Arsenal (he was Liverpool) while he ran to the shops. So, I started the game. His side took a 2-0 lead...

    The similarity was uncanny. They were 10 clear at one point, then down to 7th and only got back into the top 6 on the last day of the season. They did return to Wembley however and came out on top.

    To be fair, Reina did get caught in no man's land this past season against Citeh and was lobbed by Aguero.

    noobie mistakes

    I never used to give a toss about the state of my youth squad. Now, when I play with a large club I invest heavily in quality youth coaches and players under 17.

    U23 Olympic Teams

    I'll never try that again. I went from favoured club personnel to having the board express their unhappiness with me because I applied for the Great Britain job. It isn't even a permanent job and everyone got the **** with me.

    League Cup 2nd Round. I'm near bankrupt League Two Plymouth Argyle away to Championship side Hull City. 0-0 at full time. 112th minute and my striker breaks away, one and one with the 'keeper. Does he chip the 'keeper? Does he round the 'keeper? Does he slip it under the 'keeper? No. He slams it...

    How to improve the look of my game

    Thanks for the feedback. I streamlined it into one logo pack - I'm on my work PC so I can't download the megapack RTvD recommended just yet - and that looks much better, except for the logos I've added, which still don't line up. I have resized my added logos to match those in the logo pack...

    How to improve the look of my game

    Hi folks. I've seen this question asked before but for the life of me I have been unable to track it down. I also apologise if I have posted this in the wrong section. I have uploaded a whole batch of logo packs and have also added logos for the lesser-known clubs that are not in any of the...

    Sincere Question: Anyone not cheat and succeed with non-worldbeater clubs?

    I've never cheated and I almost always play with a team in the lower leagues of England. It is too easy with a major club. I will mostly pick a team in the Blue Square Premier or League Two and take them to the Premier League. My one criteria now though is that they have at least a 10,000 seat...

    Post Your Successes

    Still early days yet, but I'm having a solid season with Plymouth Argyle. Backstory - They start the game in debt, have suffered two successive relegations and are now in League Two, 11 of their 22 first team players are 19 or younger, they don't field a reserve team anymore and the average...

    Your current line up

    Everton, day before I start my first season away to Man City. 4-5-1 GK - Tim Howard with Jan Mucha as backup. DR - Phil Neville (set as defensive fullback). Hibbert as cover. DC - John Heitinga (set as ball playing defender). Distin and Dier as cover. DC - Phile Jagielka with Distin and Dier...

    What do you do with players in their last year of contract who want too much?

    Finding that hard to believe while trying to keep Spurs away from Leighton Baines.

    Funny/Random things in FM2012

    Yes, that can happen. UEFA preselects the host stadiums before the tournament even starts. If Osasuna had their stadium picked over 12 months before and they managed to make the final, good on them. Real Madrid (1957, won), Inter Milan (1965, won) and AS Roma (1984, lost) have all played at...

    New Stadiums

    Don't hold your breath. I took Harrogate Town from the Conference North (6th level of English football) to the Premiership and I had a whopping 6,500 seat stadium. The stadium starts off at around 4,000 if I remember correctly, but with no more than 500 seats. All they kept on doing was...
