this always happens, things to do to counter the problem:

change your tactic to a park the bus style rigid/contain type tactic (you will normally leave your tactic as is and a lot of the time its very attacking, play safer and see the game out, drop everyone a position, amc to cm, cm's do dm's, wingers to mr/ml etc etc)

i always wanna go for number 6/7/8 though :D
 
Dont know exactly why, but i never use the "the fans" option when trying to motivate.
 
Muniain is demanding I pay him £69k a week until 30th June 2019 if I sell him to PSG. I have to pay him when he won't even be at my club anymore!
 
So more on my Bayern game; I'm beating barca at home in champs league quarters 3-0, two of my star players (boateng & Tevez) get injured and barca get an 89th min away goal. Typical. I know exactly what is coming, and though I try to prepare, organise my team defensively, make it hard for barca to break us down; within the 1st min at nou camp they score... 14mins gone and they have another (3-3 now, barca winning on away goals). Bearing in mind I am without key players and even though I rested a lot of my 1st team, almost none of my players are 100%, all of Barca's are.

I think to myself, OK, I knew it was going to happen, it's total b***s***, I'll take it nonetheless but NO FM wont just take the win, it wants to humiliate me. Barca score again, injure Ribery, get a pen, score again until finally I have had enough. Flood light failure, match abandoned. Ha

This game cheats like a word removed and sometimes you just have to even the score.
 
Real Madrid just gave my Mallorca a thrashing 5-0!! That's in between 2 Valencia games where they beat us out of the Spanish Cup. And then right after I lose to Rayo, who's 19th in the league. ARGH

what kind of crazy wage is he on, if he still wants that much from you? A lot of players do that to me, when im having clear outs. Its a pain in the ***, but at least they are leaving

It does seem like no matter how much you dominate another team, if your playing against a big club it will just spirit up a goal for them to even things out.
 
Winning against Crewe 4-1, save gets corrupted, go back a week before, play game again, lose 5-0... really?

EDIT - Btw, i'm 2nd, Crewe are 19th.
 
I'm absolutely sick beyond all belief of trying to sell players......and buying players for that matter. It's just ******* ridiculous. You can't get value for any of your players yet if you want to purchase a player then 99% of the time you're going to be paying well over the odds.

Wanted to buy Niang, scout him, scout says a bid of about 6 million. I'm thinking "that's quite a bit for a 16 year old, but he's a great talent", so I offer a deal worth 6 million plus percentage of next sale and arrange a friendly. They negotiate a deal for 20 million, including percentage of next sale and arrange friendly. At the same time I have clubs coming in for Welbeck and Cleverly, I negotiate to 10 million for Cleverly and 16 million for Welbeck, everyone backs out.

Clubs saying, they cannot possibly make an offer while the asking price remains at what it is when I'm offering Tomasz Kuszczak for 300,000, Park for 1.5 million or Anderson for 3 million. If I wanted to purchase a player of Anderson's calibre from another club then I sure as **** wouldn't be getting him for 3 million, even when transfer listed. Would be at least 10-15 million on the transfer list and probably 25-35 million not on the list.

Another thing that I have found is that if you negotiate a loan deal by putting up the fee the club will almost always accept only to have the deal fall through because they don't have the funds, why accept the negotiated offer then!?! After that, if you offer the player out again, apparently all the clubs that were interested yesterday now do not give a ****!

The worst thing though is definitely selling players you don't need, most of them will always have plenty of clubs interested but I can never seem to shift any of them for even a fraction of their value. End up sending them out on loan for a small fee or just stuffing them in the reserves.

Injuries as well as transfers have been a royal pain the ******* **** for years on footy manager now, I wish they would ****** sort it out.

I've sold him to PSG now, but he was on £140k a week
 
Lukaku had just scored his fifth hat trick against me in my third season. Hooray!
 
10 match with tottenham, 4 draw, 3 lose, 3 win. Van der vaart, gareth bale, kyle walker, aaron lennon are injured. what's wrong with my save? sigh.
 
Yes i have encountered many problems with selling my players,thats how i used to make the club loads of money on old fm s but this year its not playing ball. On the other hand i have been lucky and managed to purchase a couple of amazing regan s for about 6 mill and the computer gave me a world class striker regan from the youth ranks.
My biggest wish is if they could make the interaction with players and other managers better,have some proper mind game battles or player scandels.
 
yeah it happens, 2nd season is better :) you will get positive reactions out of most of them! first season is always the hardest!

How much did you get Dominico for?


Thinking my £19.5mil was a good deal

Just had an offer from R.Madrid for £36mil which I rejected now had a bid of £42mil from Barca, the way he's playing and at only 26 thats being rejected too
 
I hate that my cover centreback with everything close down related to the minimum, races all the way up to the midfield to mark a player that had a midfielder not more then six yards away. Then when I change instructions to close down to the top he stays back refusing to close down anybody. I hate that my stopper stays in line very nicely and the cover is all the time running like a madman to the midfield time and again, no matter who I place there!. Glik, Camporese, Darmian. Is close down bugged to the point of being reversed? It's something I should test.

Also, what the **** is my cover centreback all normal setting racing up the sideline like he was the winger?!

Also very annoyed each time, that means always, that my players see a ball in no man's land where they will arrive by far sooner than any opposition, then they seem to decide that taking it much sooner is unfair and wait until the opposition player is close enough to be a very close call, enough to end 70% having to make a hasty tackle. Or when they receive the ball completelly alone in the wing, even if they're teammates in the area, they seem to decide it's unfair no to wait the defence, so they stop until the defense tackle them or are in the way of the cross.

I'm also very annoyed because so many times when rotation of players is needed, I forget to put back the first choice when I thought I'd do and play a game where I need my best team with somebody who's not optimal because I forgot I rotated the previous easier game.

And also annoyed because when I start to get good results I seem to give up to routine and go through the matches like a zombie, without giving proper thought to squad or tactics. D'oh!
 
Can't win a game after Christmas. It's the same every year with each team I manage in every league.
