Have any superstitions or OCD while playing FM?

[ajt09]

How long would it take you to get through a season? How much do you smoke? Seems a bit OTT to me. If anything my OCD would be to make 3 subs before 60mins. I couldn't think to change my shirt and stick my slippers on when I want to play fm.

Worn them ever since we ended up coming from behind against Man Utd 3-3 (in real life lol) when I wore the aforementioned items-lucky charm lol. Length of a season depends on which league I'm in. Right now I'm in Skill Training Northern League Division 1 in charge of Dunston UTC, so if i do the usual and play every game (including friendlies) it's going to be lengthy one-also taking into account cup games too. So it could be roughly half a month. Smoke one ciggy before, and one during the match-if things go horribly wrong. And subs-only when needed (like a substantial lead).

1st sub 60 2nd sub 67 3rd sub 75 dont no y but i hav persuaded myself this is the best option

Well I always set player numbers for my first team only, no reserves. I give players their favourite numbers first. Then I give my first choice players numbers acending from the goalkeeper to strikers, I choose right first and left second. I usually give out numbers like 7 and 9 to wingers and strikers. I then give the rest of the numbers out to players going from the strikers first to the second choice goalkeeper.

Assort friendlies and pick tactical setup.

Though it's not a major example, as mentioned above, I get subs done by the 60th-70th minute, which causes problems if someone's rating suddenly drops a bit late on and I wonder whether to sub or risk keeping him on until the end, when normally it would be easy. Also stick to a formation no matter what (aside from in-game changes), for me consistency works and deviation from that doesn't so I'll put a youth player in when all first team options for a position are injured, rather than fiddle around, and having tried both around the same time I know it works.

2 subs ALWAYS between the 68th and 73rd min

For the past five seasons now, I play this beat in the background before big matches and cup finals.

I never leave the mouse hovering around the pitch. I always put it on the matchday info button.

I do exactly the same thing mate, have no idea why though :L

I dont read the commentary. Probably not OCD but I can't stand to read "and Dzeko runs into the penalty box...". CM 02-03 was ****

 

[BeadSTARR]

When arranging my subs I always put them in Position order. Sub 1 - GK Sub 2 - defender, etc etc.

 

[reddevil500]

I never sign players who have ugly facepacks.

I always make 3 substitutions no matter what. xD

Lol I got a warning for posting that "Not sure if serious" picture because it was "spam" and I am not alowed to post "facepalms" .. Is that really worthy of a warning ... Are you serious ?? I am...

 

[carrott24]

i always make substitutions in the 62nd minute (injuries permitting) and usually make further subs in the 74th minute

Rules are rules dude. If you don't follow them, I shall visit you in the wee small hours, and batter you with a rather large hallibat

Well here's a tip. Don't post it again...

I can't stand it when I have to pause and make a substitution because of that "magic goal" the opposition always seems to get that you never saw happen.

I like to stand next my desk with my arms crossed, chewing madly on chewing gum, wearing my sheepskin coat, doing lots of pointing, hand gestures, and shouting. If I lose I then start throwing cups around the living room.

 

[InValide jr]

if i dont win for 3 games i clear entire team and ask Assman, i allways take the most tired and the worst performer off at 60minutes, i cant go into the match with messages either.

 

[cfc12345]

I never have a keeper on the bench as I feel like its " A waste of a sub".

1. Always wear my full suit for matches (With a scarf for winter games)
2. Always play 'Wise Men Say' before all my home games with Swindon
3. Can't have anything else playing during the game (music, TV, etc)
4. I will give all my players games, even if they aren't a first-team player (doesn't seem fair to make them sit on the bench every week)
