leicester4life Posted 24 August 2011 Share Posted 24 August 2011 Hinckley 2014/15 League 2 final table featuring a 24 game unbeaten run and taking only 12 points from the last 15 games, having been 25+ points clear. JPT Beat Forest on away goals to get myself in the final the round before. Transfers Some cracking business, selling American playmaker Valentin for half a mil, misfiring forwards Paulico and Czismadia for a third of a million combined with 35% of the next fee. Big signings are Taarabt, Delaney, Kisnorbo, Davies and Sanchez. Nice £825k profit. Squad The board are improving the training facilities, hopefully be able to attract a bit more quality into the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jensen (what's he like in your game?) and Saez looked like your key men. Some good loan signings you made too. Grats on you two titles as well. Did you also lose money by winning the JPT by the way?

leicester4life Posted 26 August 2011 Share Posted 26 August 2011 Looks like all of your big signings, bar Davies, have had unimpressive seasons. Jensen (what's he like in your game?) and Saez looked like your key men. Some good loan signings you made too. Grats on you two titles as well. Did you also lose money by winning the JPT by the way? I think that's just because most of them were defensive players and my tactics are shit defensively, I think without them I would have done a lot worse. Jensen is decent as an out and out winger, got a bit of pace and dribbling, not so great with the final ball, but he'll do, my 12 current ability, 16 potential ability coach reckons he's a good L1 player at the minute with 2.5 stars, and 4 star potential to be a good Championship winger. He's only in my game, boys a regen, first started in 2012/13 at Brøndby. Coach report Attributes And I made something like a £10k profit from all the prize money from the JPT, cup bonus payout was larger than the prize money from winning the final BUT less than the total prize money from it, so not too bad. Season 2015/16 - League 1 Said to the board I'd finish mid-table and they gave me £475k and £24.5k pw to spend. Decided on playing a 4-2-3-1 deep, counter attacking with a pacey forward and wingers. Formation and starting 11 + subs No keeper on the bench because I haven't had one injured in a match yet, would rather more outfield options. Team instructions Reading - home Kicked off the season with a 2-6 loss to Reading at home, free transfer William Murphy getting both goals for me, Reading have kept a really strong side after coming down this year, so they were gonna be very difficult to get a result against. Only good performance was from William Murphy, 17 of his 19 passes finding a Hinckley player as well as his 2 goals, acceptable performances from Taarabt and Davies, getting an assist each. Southampton - away Followed it up with a thrilling 5-4 win against Championship side Southampton in the LC, Arron Davies(2), Adel Taarabt, William Murphy and Paul Scharner scoring the goals. Reece Hands, Adel Taarabt, William Murphy and Simon Jensen(2) with the assists. Arron Davies MotM, Adel Taarabt a close second. Player ratings Match stats Not really sure how they managed to score 4 with only 1 CCC, must work on that. Leyton Orient - away Then lost my next game in the league 2-0 away at Leyton Orient, should have done better. Bristol Rovers - home Bristol Rovers came to the Greene King, and beaten 2-0, goals from centre-half Reece Wabara on 41 minutes and William Murphy just after the start of the second half on 46 minutes, MotM performance from midfielder Reece Hands, winning the ball and using it well, getting an assist as well. Player ratings Currently sat in 22nd, not a great start, hopefully put some results together soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicester4life Posted 26 August 2011 Share Posted 26 August 2011 continued cause it wouldn't let me post more pictures: Transfers Overview Out Vidovic Chairman accepted a bid of 350k for Vidovic, so I offered him out for £600k, Hull offered £550k and a friendly so I thought it'd be a better offer. Vidovic attributes Delaney, Fallon, Fuller, Murray Decided the money they were earning was more than they were worth, and better spent else-where rather than paying hefty sums to retain there services, give some of the younger talent some game time to develop. Felix Katongo Had been a good servant to the club, but had started to decline physically, no good for a winger reliant on speed. Akpa-Akpro, Geohaghan, Parkes, Blackman, Goode Not good enough. Imray, Fitzgerald Sad to see 52 times capped by NZ keeper Imray leave, but wanted to get in a younger alternative with more potential for the hopeful rise up the leagues, and Imray wasn't willing to be anything but 1st choice. Fitzgerald is a decent but limited central defender, good in the air but slow and beginning to decline, would have been 5th choice behind generally younger options so was allowed to leave. In Paul Scharner - £3.5k First choice centre half, but only as a short term measure for this season. Scharner attributes William Murphy - free Ex-Sunderland man who had been on loan to me twice before, snapped him up on a fairly lengthy deal, 4 and a half star potential to be a good Championship forward. Murphy attributes Frankie Bass, Marvin Williams and Gyliano van Velzen - season long loans - £26k, free and free Signed mainly as cheap cover, Bass looks pretty versatile, Williams fits my style and is a cheap but capable 3rd choice forward. G. van Velzen can play either wing, has a bit of pace and can dribble Bass, Williams and van Velzen attributes Bass Williams van Velzen Steve Carlier - season long loan - £95k Brought in for rotation, looks capable Carlier attributes Ivica Skof - season long loan - £9k loan fee - £180k future fee Possible long term #1, 5 star potential, gonna make it a permanent in the January window if he's problem free until then. Skof attributes Juska Savolainen - £30k Finish defensive midfielder, brought in to win the ball and create from deep. Ben Mansell - season long loan - free Adds height to the defence and a better alternative defensively to former Villarreal man Mario Mansell attributes I want to bring in a centre half who can play DC - Cover so I can play a Stopper-Cover Combo at the back in January, happy with the squad other than that though, if I get any injuries I'll look to the short term loan market, might consider a new AMR but only if the right player becomes available. Got a LC 2nd round tie away at Premiership West Brom next, expecting a defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shen Posted 26 August 2011 Share Posted 26 August 2011 Juska Savolainen - £30k Finish defensive midfielder, brought in to win the ball and create from deep. Ohhh, Savolainen! Blast from the past.

Guest Posted 27 August 2011 Share Posted 27 August 2011 Well I'm an old man and I haven't played a football manager type game for over 30 years since I played one on a spectrum 48 but I had a free week and decided to get hold of FM - it was 2010 for a £1. Decided to go in at the bottom. Hinckley in the BSN. Nice to be able to loan Leciester players and I had King,Rowe and O'niell give me great seasons when they were fit. Bought in ten new players and apart from a terrible 2 month injury run I tore up the league losing in the playoff final on pens after leading 3 times. Can't believe that in the off-season Wenger has retired and Arsenal have offered me the job. I've just gone from first year manager in the BSN to champions league manager, £395 pw to £99,000. It's sort of taken the shine off my season - so unrealistic. Think I've probably finished with the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you won't get offered the job at Arsenal unless you set your previous experience as "international footballer", which gives you the highest possible start reputation, i.e. one that would be suited for a top job in football.

Guest Posted 27 August 2011 Share Posted 27 August 2011 PC and yeah I said ex-international - can't remember how many games they put me down as perhaps 40 but I'm an old ex pro managing a BSN team no way should I be offered one of the plum jobs in the world after 1 season - I was hoping for Leicester after 4 or 5 seasons of good results. seems pretty dumb.

The system is reputation based. When you're an ex international, you've got a high reputation, i.e. your reputation is MUCH higher than e.g. Hinckley in the BSN. It's a bit like Ince having two seasons in League Two and then getting the Blackburn job, or even like Shearer and McCoist getting jobs at Newcastle and Rangers without any previous experience You should pick 'sunday league footballer' or 'semi-pro' if you want it to be a "realistic" career with Hinckley...

Dan LCFC Posted 5 September 2011 Share Posted 5 September 2011 Extraordinary. 98 points with Peterborough in League One, and I came fvcking third. Huddersfield in 4th on 97. Colchester overall win them. Up now though following a league win (on 93 points funnily enough). Febian Brandy is an actual machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
