Far Post Gerry Posted 6 November 2015 Posted 6 November 2015 I've concluded my summer transfer incomings. Signed: Paul Robinson (free) Gino Peruzzi (3.3m) Eder Alvarez Balanta (3.1m) Kristoffer Ajer (1m) Andres Chavez (2.2m) Balanta is already injured for two months after playing only one friendly. Looking to sell De Laet. Balanta for 3.1m is cracking business if FM15 is anything to go by. Any other big "finds" on this version yet, like Balanta or Sisto last year?
Finnegan Posted 6 November 2015 Posted 6 November 2015 Balanta, Fierro and Lucas Romeo have all been noticeably "nerfed" this year. Balanta is still good but noway near what he was.
4everfox Posted 6 November 2015 Posted 6 November 2015 So I've tried 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2 & 3-5-2 and just can't seem to get any success. What formations are you guys using? Try a counter attacking 4-1-2-3, it works for me.
4everfox Posted 6 November 2015 Posted 6 November 2015 Balanta for 3.1m is cracking business if FM15 is anything to go by. Any other big "finds" on this version yet, like Balanta or Sisto last year? Andres Chavez is a quality player. Cristian Pavon has potential to be world class if you're looking for a left winger/inside forward.
GLC Posted 6 November 2015 Posted 6 November 2015 Inler has had an amazing first season and i was offered 16 mil from Barca for him! Crazy money!! i accepted and my whole squad has gone mental!
Frost Posted 6 November 2015 Posted 6 November 2015 Haven't had a red card yet - 2 seasons in. Funny eh? Don't think I've had more than 2 penalties either.
Ozwin Posted 6 November 2015 Posted 6 November 2015 So is this pretty unplayable then? Got such an urge to start as Olympiacos for dat taste of Cambiasso.
Dan Posted 7 November 2015 Author Posted 7 November 2015 One home game with Villa later and it's occurred that our defence really is insultingly bad. I always **** my first save up so I'm not too arsed.
Narborough_fox Posted 7 November 2015 Posted 7 November 2015 Hit the jackpot with 4-4-2. Absolutely unreal this year. Embolo and Vardy are just tearing it up. Huth has been different class so far as well.
Dan Posted 7 November 2015 Author Posted 7 November 2015 That's what I played against Villa. Where do you play Mahrez though? On that subject - what do you lot think about playing Mahrez on the left? It lowers his star rating a hell of a lot if you do but do you think it actually affects his performances much? In comes Dede. Get in.
Narborough_fox Posted 7 November 2015 Posted 7 November 2015 Been playing him down the right as a wide midfielder, means he plays a lot of balls into Vardy. Obviously not his best position but worth sacrificing him a little bit so I can get the best out of other. Discipline of the players on this is abysmal. Huth has had 2 red cards and I'm 12 games into the season. Already had 3 players banned for reaching 5 yellow cards as well.
Dan Posted 7 November 2015 Author Posted 7 November 2015 Just lost 10-1 to Chelsea Was 1-0 after 50 minutes but Schmeichel got injured and I had no sub keeper. Was only going one way from there. Gokhan Inler is abysmal.
Brainy Posted 7 November 2015 Posted 7 November 2015 In stiches. My assistant at Rapid Bucharest for the last 2 years doesn't want to extend his contract because 'he dislikes the club considerably and wants to leave at the earliest opportunity'
Dan Posted 7 November 2015 Author Posted 7 November 2015 Jesus Christ, two games in and I've already had my players refund the travelling fans.
Brainy Posted 7 November 2015 Posted 7 November 2015 The 2022 got moved to China from Qatar because of protests about scheduling
stripeyfox Posted 7 November 2015 Posted 7 November 2015 The 2022 got moved to China from Qatar because of protests about scheduling Seems legit...
StanSP Posted 7 November 2015 Posted 7 November 2015 is okazaki absolute muck for anyone else? yep. he wasn't playing and so asked to leave. got to January and I was offering him out to clubs for about £4.5-5m. Galatasaray, Montpellier, Fenerbahce all offered that amount and I accepted. There I am thinking I'll get some spending money - Okazaki says he'd rather not leave and is happy at Leicester right now lol. Oh and to everyone else - I'm also getting a load of injuries. Long-term too. Mahrez, Kante, Bas Dost, Huth have all suffered long-term injuries at one point or other.
Ross-Kemp Posted 7 November 2015 Posted 7 November 2015 Started again last night. I went with a standard 4-4-2, attacking wingers and supporting wing backs. Sold Vardy for £17.5 million to Monaco, I'll post my signings later on. I've played 12/13 games, I've won 5, lost 4 and drew the rest, sitting in 8th. Kramaric is banging them in, Mahrez has been immense on the left wing.
CloudFox Posted 7 November 2015 Posted 7 November 2015 So how does this compare to previous versions? Still playing FM14 haha
4everfox Posted 7 November 2015 Posted 7 November 2015 That's what I played against Villa. Where do you play Mahrez though? On that subject - what do you lot think about playing Mahrez on the left? It lowers his star rating a hell of a lot if you do but do you think it actually affects his performances much? In comes Dede. Get in. Try playing an asymmetrical 4-4-2 with Mahrez on the attacking midfield right flank, set him as an inside forward with the support role. He is literally unstoppable for me in that position. My first 5 results: Liverpool (a) - 2-1 win Southampton (h) - 1-2 loss even though we dominated. Swansea (a) - 2-2 draw Bury (h) - 2-1 win Bournemouth (h) - 2-0 win Currently sitting pretty in 7th place.
4everfox Posted 7 November 2015 Posted 7 November 2015 We are literally the counter attacking kings on this game, for anyone struggling try this: GK - Schmeichel (GK Defend) DR - Peruzzi (FB Support) DC - Huth (CB Defend) DC - Balanta (CB Defend) DL - Schlupp (FB Support) DM - Inler (DLP Support) MC - Kante (BWM Support) MC - King / Drinkwater (AP Support) AMR - Mahrez (IF Support) AML - Chavez (W Support) ST - Vardy (DF Support) Team instructions set to a very fast tempo with very direct passing. Very deep defensive line and closing down very often. Pass into space and clear ball to flanks. Play narrow.
Finnegan Posted 7 November 2015 Posted 7 November 2015 I'm with Wookie. That's pretty ugly. I mean if it's working for you then cool. Generally speaking you want a more even mix of attack/support/defend though.
