Getting FM tomorrow out of my birthday money. Who do you guys think I should buy and sell?

Buy Ganso am, Hopefully you already no him, Bargin at 22 mil

Sime Vrsalijko rb Will be better then Sagna in a few years perfect replacment and he is dirt cheap

kovacic cm <--- buy for 5 mil he is 17 all will turn out to be a world class player.

You also need a decent CB i havnt used that many but subotic is alright

 

[Calum]

In my Save Kos Tommy and Per are doing brilliantly so i would give them a try first

Also in the summer i am selling Walcott as he's poor in FM and mega injury prone.

Sell: Almunia, Mannone, Squillaci ( january ) , Diaby ( january ) and Rosicky.

Get: Areola, Vertonghen ( 8m ) , Milan Badelj ( ~4m ) , Mateo Kovatic ( ~2m ) , C. Eriksen ( 7m )

Also possible ones to get: Hazard ( over 40m ) and Andre Ayew ( 11.25m release clause )

Gibbs has still good potential so you should give him a chance. I offloaded Santos after first season and replaced him with Baines.

Forgot to add: Sime Vrsjalko for something around 3m and Andile Jali for 350k to backup Song. Great player.

 

[Calum]

Quasit here's my two cents.

Gibbs has awfull stats for a LB in FM12, Santos is the better of the two

I also got Hazard for 25M in January

Gibbs isn't good enough to start but he can get 6 months of tutoring and if he gets games he'll improve.

You wouldn't have such issues if you had someone as good as my Bainesy though

Gibbs get's better, but I wouldn't use either one of them as first choice LB. I need to try to get Hazard for that price. They wanted 45m for him when I tried at the start of save.

He will be my Bainsey soon

 

[hoosier7]

Anyone else had Pat Rice just disappear? Searched for any mail about him retiring or anything but there's nothing!? Any recomendations for a new assistant?

 

[Konflict]

Tried to sign both Gotze and Hazard for my save - 50 mil for each was the asking price Got Cavani and M'Vila instead. Should have got Hamsik, as I don't think Arteta is good enough.

 

[ravi1985]

Finished my first season didnt go to bad. Could of gone better tho.

2nd in Prem
Lost to barca in Champs league final
Lost to Man u in the FA cup final
Lost to Man u in the league cup quarter final.

Man utd also battered the league finishing 9 pts clear.

I really need to scout for a good LB now as that is my biggest weakest in my team. Can anyone recommend me any? Looked at the new regens but man u chelsea and barca have the best ones so have to wait till next year

 

[Calum]

I am buying Baines as my new lb

Anyway my 1st season done:

PL: 3rd

CC: Round 4

FAC: Round 3

UCL: Group Stage

UEL: 2nd Knockout round

So i really failed in the cups lol

just continued with my demo save XD

and i brough in martin , Leonardo (from germino), m'bye ninag, and sold alumia and djouro (on loan)

 

[Quasit]

Yea i think Cissokho is great LB to get. Cheaper and younger than Baines.

 

[Lol_101]

plus the same age as Gibbs, and more better too. aly is not as injury prone as gibbs is. baines will be a problem, like i got him in my fm 11 save with lfc marshall update, and he keeps moan that he's home sick. wtf!!!

Ninag is amazing he replaces Van Persie when he is unfit on inj got me 10 goals in my first season which aint to bad.

I ended up getting Alex Sandro as my LB looks pretty decent. Hopfully it pays of as i only have him and Santos now.

 

[Frank]

Loving my save.

[Will edit this post with a long detailed one when I load up the save tomorrow]

 

[Calum]

3 of my 4 goalies wanted to leave for first team football (Vito and Fabi) or got released (Shea) so i had to bring in Jenson (ex burnley free transfer) as 4th choice, then Fabianski wanted to get first team football and wanted to leave immediately so i brought in Rob Green for 7.5 M as the backup goalie. Vito went on a season long to to my feeder club watford.

So i bought in Summer 2012

Baines 30 M
Vossen 10 M
Van Buyten £0
Jensen £0
Green £7.5 M

Sold in Summer 2012

Almunia (Contract expired)
Squilacci 1.1 M
Fabianski 3.4 M
JS Park Season long loan
Diaby 5 M
Denilson £0
Arshavin £5 M
Wellington Silva £3.8 M
Gibbs Season Long loan

2. u should have remove at least one goal from the start of the game. i chose to sell vito , and almuia was long gone. dont know why u have 4 gks in ur XI squad. XD
3. we both got the same feeder club too atm in my save, watford
