My Bristol City story so far.
Could only get 3 players in, one that the chairman got in for me, 2 on loan. Because I disable first window transfers (Tried to sign some other good players on frees but no funds for sign on fees so could not)
This is my second game, I played half a season when the game first came out as MK Dons, but got allot of crash dumps so stopped playing until the most recent patch and the other day. Being honest I was doing awful, and 14th in league, probably sack coming up but was confident would of turned it around. I did things wrong in the dressing room and used the wrong tactics for the team. To me FM15 is allot more sensitive in the way you use your tactics and how good the dressing room is, and you have to be careful with finances something I've used my experience on with Bristol City now.
1st in the league and had built up about a 10 point gap, and was keeping clean sheets, but 2 x 2-2 draws let other teams catch up a bit, but confident we can still achieve top 2l. Scored 40 Goals and conceded just 14 in the league so far! (17 games)
In the quarter finals of the carling cup, played it well in the media as managers where getting arrogant they was going to beat us easy, but instead I just went out with my attacking formation and beat Villa, Cardiff & Derby, and I'm hopeful of beating Southampton at home in the quaters, just need the right preparation and the game to go well on the day.
Play fast attacking football (with short passes) very exciting football style scoring allot of goals, closing down allot, yet the board says in confidence that the fans think the football is less than exciting? Don't make any sense...
The formation shown in one of the screenshots below (4-2-3-1) is the one I usually play changing mentally from defensive to control to attacking, but usually start of attacking to try get an early goal. I often stick it on overload for the fun, which seems to work if used in the right games and at the right time. I also drop the AM position into DM, when needed, with other players defending more, and sometimes drop my wingers back. (Also change player roles depending on how they are playing) If you want to look at other areas of my tactics let me know.
Want to get into the championship and see how I do, maybe it will be hard, but will see about a mid table spot if possible, hopefully more, in the first season there (When I get there) I would like to reach the premiership with Bristol City, but if I get a tempting offer, I would consider it, as I'm ambitious, and want to build up my managing career. Eventually my aim is to manage in the premiership, and the big leagues abroad and see what happens. (Can speak English, Italian & Spanish so that is an advantage)
But for now, its about Bristol City, more to come in the future.
