Football manager 2012 -IPad

[Cal]

Just got the game for xmas, so decided to play it now rather than wait for all the patches . Started with Leicester and so far this is what ive done,

Out:

Moussa (loan)

Oakley (230k)

Tunchev (1.1m)

Berner (250k)

Wellens (1.4m)

Kennedy (loan)

Weale (375k)

Moreno (250k)

In:

Fleck (loan)

Verratti (2.8m)

Digne (2m)

Modise (350k)

Gioda (100k)

Galeano (2.2m)

Branescu (900k)

Sanogo (2m)

Im going to try and buy Quintero, dont know who else. Probably gonna sell Abe and Gally aswell. Might keep Lloyd just for his pace this season.

[bluearmyfox23]

You will regret selling tunchev m8t he is good cover for left back !!

[Dan]

Gotze on the bench? :xmasohmy:

Exactly.

I was thinking the same thing not played with him on football manager but he is a beast on FIFA 12

I don't like him on Fifa 12. Well I do, but for an 84 he's a letdown, Lavezzi pisses all over him.

To be fair, the majority of my bench would walk into even Inter's team, Gotze's been bought as cover for Lavezzi, Hamsik and Sosa (as he can play all three) and long term I hope to play him right wing, Kovacic looks a far better bet in AMC.

Loving it so far though, 5 games gone, 15 points, 1 conceded and we're taking the piss, Inter have 5 points from their opening 4 (game in hand yes), which is great really, I'm confident of a league title.

100% record in Europe too, tried the likes of Gotze, Gameiro, Butland, Toloi, Kovacic against Hapoel Tel-Aviv and won 2-0, completely thumping them on the whole about 25 shots to 4, followed by Cavani breaking his ankle away at Shakhtar. On the plus side, we actually won that game 2-6 and his replacement Gameiro totally ripped them to shreds.

So, yeh, won every game so far in all comps (except the Super Cup thinking about it), and far less down about Cavani's injury now I've got better cover. Hard run is soon on its way but Inter and AC are the only squads who are even nearly as good as ours now. Best set of individuals I've bought. Good night. Merry christmas.

Made a good enough start to my managerial career, went up as champions with Leicester in my first season. Now into my 2nd season, I've improved my team with the acquisitions of Jack Cork,El Hadji Diouf,Tiene from Ivory Coast,Curtis Davies , Kyle Naughton :xmasbiggrin: Cheikh Tiote and Billy Sharp

Lost my 1st game of the season vs Brum at home Thanks to a last minute penalty winner.

Any suggestions or hints into who is good on the game as I need a few cheap quality players to get me moving up the league.

[Ross 'LCFC' Turner]

£6.99 is it worth it?

Usually rubbish on iPod / iPhone so is there anything different or better about the iPad version?

[DB11]

What's wrong with the existing FM12 thread?

[Ross 'LCFC' Turner]

Because if you read the thread it's for iPad users.

[GLC]

Still could have put it in the fm thread,

I have it on iPod, it's not bad

Just look through the thread, Finners usually gets it right with player signings

[Ross 'LCFC' Turner]

Does anybody have this for iPad? if so is it any good?

Not sure if I want to pay £6.99 and it be crap.

[Cal]

Just done my 1st season. Finished top by 10 points with Leicester and won the league cup too. Found it quite easy, cause I dont actually think stat-wise my players are that great. Need to strengthen for the premier league.

[lcfc matt]

[Cal]

Ball (free)

Howard (free)

Logan (free)

Waghorn (loan)

Gallagher (loan)

Abe (1.4m)

Modise (4.7m)

Beckford (5.25m)

Also got 4 regens, 3 with 4.5 star potential, one with 5.

Need to buy a good striker and a right winger. Sell a few more people then im pretty much set.

[Dan]

So you've pretty much bought two of the games best right backs for a combined £12mil? Jesus. Top business.

That's got to be my next priority at Napoli. Maggio is very good but ageing, Zuniga's a talented player but will often let us down, think that's my next target, may go back for Aurier.

[Dan]

I LOVE SAN PAOLO.

We drew 2-2 away at Roma, throwing it away twice.

We next hosted Bayern Munich, a real test for us, took the lead on 25 seconds through Gotze only for Sissoko to see red with a kick on 19 mins, and Bayern take control and equalise with a 29th min penalty.

They're limited to long shots, Gameiro hits the post on 70 minutes and I thought our chance had gone, but 84th min Zuniga skims a cross in, sliced into his own net by Badstuber, absolute delerium and we held on for the 2-1 win.

And following that, another Milan side leave the fortress pointless. AC this time beaten 2-0, nice little bit of revenge for the cvnts fvcking my title challenge up last year. So that's 6 games at home to Milan sides, and 6 wins.

The place is a fortress. 2 defeats in 42 home games, BOTH to Juventus. We'll sort them bastards out this year.

[Jonny Chee]

Finished 10th in my first season in the top flight. Knocked out of Europa league in semi's by FC Twente. Lost in League Cup final to Spurs. Knocked out of FA Cup in third round by Colchester. .

Got a few new signings ready for season 3, trying to get a mostly domestic based team going to make things more interesting and challenging:

GK: Kasper Schmeichel

RB: Seamus Coleman

CB: Marc Barta

CB: Sol Bamba

LB: Neil Taylor

DM: Medo

CM: Charlie Adam

CM: Darron Gibson

AMR: David Bentley

AML: Adam Johnson

ST: Daniel Sturridge

Subs: Marton Fulop, Matt Mills, Alexsander Tunchev, Tom Cairney, Mehdi Carcela, Jermaine Beckford, Federico Macheda

[Ricey]

Its pretty much the same as the iPhone/iPod version with a few UI additions.

[AjcW]

Game crashed then when i tried to re load I was told steam to busy to run game..... same again 24 hours later... HELP

[Dan]

Amazed that Bentley gets in above Carcela.

[HEGGSY]

Ricey, I was just wondering if FM will be coming to Android anytime soon?

Cheers

[Dan]

De Sanctis is ageing, will be needing a new keeper at the end of the season, Lewis/Butland are too inexperienced and I think Lewis will be sold soon. Any suggestions?

[FuriousFox46]

Currently in my 3rd season as Leicester boss.

Won the Championship.

Finished 11th in the Premier League last season.

and just won the opening game of the season 2-0 at home to Chelski.

Starting XI

Schmeichel

Naughton Bamba Mills Shorey

Jenas King

Pienaar Sinclair

Jelavic Yakubu

[munf1987]

Just about to start my 2nd season with Leicester for the 2nd time. Won the championship. Just signed Kyle Walker for 2.5m (around there), trying to sign Fierro to partner Quintero. I want Dos santos on the wing.

In desperate need for a Left back and centre back. Tempted to go in for Alex Smithies for a 2nd keeper behind Kasper. Still got 20m to spend but might just buy a few players
