Coolmcool's Journeyman Save

[MisterObjective]

Been following this one since the start, great management so far and well done winning the league. Being a Liverpool fan myself, after the recent posts, I'm interested in this story a lot more now. Very interested to see how Wenger does at Anfield and Luis Suarez for just under 50M! Every time I've used him on FM he's been one of the most inconsistent players I've used, usually playing poorly, on occasion he was the match winner. All I can say is good luck, judging by how well you've done so far, with some ridiculous injuries, if anyone can get the best out of him, it's you!

Whenever I've had Suarez, he's been EXCELLENT. Averaging a goal per game for me, usually, his only problem is he gets yellows and even gets sent off for dives, mostly in important matches.

Im suprised Mourinho didnt get sacked! I thought Wenger would have retired at his age not taken over at pool i wonder if Brendan Rodgers will become England manager like he always did last FM, after i got Ozil playing the right way he was amazing chipping in with a fair few goals too, Im always quite pessimistic but especially at the start with all the draws and 1-0 wins i definitely didnt think we would win the league!

I'm guessing Mourinho didn't get sacked because he's one of club's icons? And would've been sacked if team had completely dropped out, and I like playing Inverted wingers as inside forwards and overlapping fullbacks. Try Ozil at Right wing as inside forward since he's left footed. He's been bagging in goals for fun, for me at RW. Especially from free-kicks at the edge of the box.

Great signings,i think you will have great success this season if they are played well. With those players you should start thinking about UCL.

Im definetly gunning for the Champions League, i doubt we will get as easier a draw as last year but its something we should be aiming for, i would like even a domestic treble for this season. thanks for reading.

Thanks man, im also a Liverpool fan hence the Suarez signing but your right i always struggle to get him to play well when i play as Liverpool but i think i may play him in one of the attacking midfield roles and have Huntelaar and Drogba as more out and out strikers,

At least its realistic for Suarez

Yeah i would have to agree with you there i like the inverted wingers at the moment letting them drop in and hit it with there good foot, i may play Suarez, Wilshere and Ozil in attacking midfield roles. thanks for reading.

Great job singing ter stegen, top quality goalkeeper. Also did you list walcott? because some clubs becomes interested in him (especially chelsea, barcelona too but they wont pay). In my 2 saves both time I sold him to chelsea for 40 and 43 million pounds.

Wow thats pretty impressive, he asked to be transfer listed because i didnt play him much, i guess thats why he went a bit cheaper than if i had sold him at the beginning, i seem to struggle to sell players for top money on this fm, i offered him for ?20million and real madrid offered ?17million so i went for it, they must have being doing a major overhaul as i signed Illaremendi and they had Khedira, Benzema and Coentrao on the transfer list! Thanks for reading.

Another amazing story from yourself even though I am a Spurs fan and don't like seeing the success you have brought to Arsenal. Some very good signings in the summer and I suspect you should retain your title depending on how others have spent.

Spurs were so close but they crumbled at the end they were a few points clear of us for quite a large part of the season! Will post a screenshot of all the big deals in the premier league in the next post but as your a Tottenham fan they brought in Sakho from Liverpool, Bojan from Barcelona and spent almost ?10million on Savic who used to be at Man City whilst selling Vertongen and Siguardsson (SP). Thanks for reading.

I don't know why but Man Utd seem to do very bad business since Moyes has become in-charge, happened in FM 13 after LFC Marshall update too. They'd list Valencia for 5-10M? And buy Farfan for ~30M while their stats are 95% same.

Btw I got Drogba once too, at Chelsea ofc, and play him as target man as he doesn't have much pace left, but his heading is as good as ever, scores a lot of headed goals from crosses.

Yeah i also play him as a target man hes pretty good to have if Huntelaar is flagging and an hour is gone, bit of a super sub now at his age, Man Utd spent crazy money on two average players i think!

Has happened numerous times, they'll buy players rated ~3 stars for ~30M. And it's not like they have some exceptional skills. Spent 23M on Filipe from Atletico. WB, 11 tackling and 12 marking, and not exceptional Crossing/Dribbling skills.

Oh no, Torn Calf Muscle. That injury has destroyed many quality players on my save. I once got a message that an agent would like to offer me Vincent Kompany for 10M, I was surprised, then checked that his PA had decreased from 4.5 stars to 2.5, checked injuries, Torn calf muscle.

I know man its a bit of a worry especially after the Giroud thing but he was only ever on the fringes of the first team and hasnt seemed nowhere near as good as he was on my Arsenal save last year.

 

[GavinMerriman21]

Great Story!!!
Very interesting as I have an Arsenal save myself.
Luckily I got cover in areas early.
Subotic - 7mill
De Scaglio - 9.5 mill
Lucas Romero - 5mill I think and Vela for 3.2mill

It left me with a big squad but one I have needed so far as FM14 definitely captures Arsenal's luck with injuries.
How did Cazorla perform for you? I cannot get anything out of him. Giroud on the other hand is a machine, I'm sorry for your 1st season loss with him he has been second to Ozil only.

Yeah i was gutted Giroud lost his touch as he was amazing on last years save for me scoring over 100 goals in 3 seasons, Cazorla has been better for me in fm14 than he was last year but its a struggle with such a good midfiled at Arsenal to fit all of the players in to one side! Im going for an all out fm night tonight for the first time in weeks so will hopefully get a few arsenal updates out along with my limerick save
