Football manager 2012 -IPad

[Raw Dykes]

I've literally never left one club for another on FM before. I start with a team and I carry on til I get bored then I start another game.

But I just got approached by Barca, it's 2014 and Messi is at his peak. Tempting.

I really can't see why you'd be tempted by that. You'll be expected to win everything, so it won't feel like an achievement when you do. They're already the best club in the world, so where do you go from there?

[HEGGSY]

Managed to sign Caros Fierro on a free transfer for Hinkley in BSP, he only wanted 1.2k a week this is on Ipad though

GLC, I've been City for two seasons now and both times I've only just scraped into the play offs ( 1st season on GD and second season by 1 point ) and then proceeded to get royaly stuffed in the semis again of both occasions. Where am I going wrong? This is on FMH btw.

Just never really done it before, never had the best players in the world.

Always just played with smaller teams and brought them up, tempted by a bit of a change.

It's worth pointing out that I've been bored of this game for months and months, just dabbling here and there.

[Simmsy]

I'd be tempted to take the Barca job if I'd started unemployed with a low reputation and built my way up to it. Otherwise it's pointless as you could just choose it from the start if you wanted to.

5m? Whenever I sign Sanogo he costs between 1.7-2.3m

I'm pretty sure he costs around £3m at the start. Obviously it all depends on the financial situation of the club.

Exactly the same happened to me. I made a save where I took the job, as I'll probably get bored too. They're even richer than City in FM terms, and what an insane squad. But it's because of Messi and only him I was tempted. I imagine it's a bit of fun making crazy tactics that could almost only work with players of that calibre. Have fun

[Fox_in_spain]

About half way through my 2nd season with Sundowns. Its going well, and the Quintuple (?) is still on!!

So far I have won the Super 8 Cup and the SA KO Cup, and I am 6 points clear at the top of the league after 18 of 32 games, after a win against my nearest challengers, the Kaiser Chiefs scum .

I have been drawn against Dundee Experience XI in the First Round of the SA FA Cup, should be too hard a match!

Finally, in the Preliminary Round of the African Confederations Cup (not the Champions League, unfortunately ) I beat ASPL-2000 of Mauritius 12-1 on aggregate and have now been drawn against a team from Burkina Faso, whose name unfortunately evades me at the moment.

FM RTE isn't free anymore, what the frig?

What team do you have? and do you change tactics to suit the players preferred positions?

I usually go

GK

RB

CB

CB

LB

Winger

Deep lying Mid

Advanced Playmaker

Winger

Attacking Forward

Dep Lying Forward

All tactis in the middle, and as long as the team is fairly happy you should do ok.

You'll find some really good young players if you go on search and seach by age,

Playing this years version of FM2012 on the iPhone and some of the results and things that happen in the game . Also I asked my board to expand the King Power they said yes and the capacity was 42,000 for the next game with attendance of about 39,000. Not complaining but wow.

Some transfers make me laugh, Xavi went to Bristol rovers in league 2 in my second season

[HEGGSY]

I started with Salisbury last night, in the BSS just got promoted to League 2, back to back promotions.

[Fox_in_spain]

Finally finished my first season with Sundowns, and stage 2 of my Pentagon Challenge in now up and running!

I won the domestic quadruple, winning the league by 8 points from the Chiefs, and I beat the Chiefs in the semi finals of the SA FA Cup, before beating lower league Dynamos 4-0 in the final. By winning the League, I qualified the the African Champions League!

I have so far signed 5 players, before my budgets got set, as I had money left over. I have signed Tinashe Nengomasha (CM 2010 God!!) and Erwin Isaacs on frees, and have spent quite a bit on 3 promising regens, including a club record £2 million transfer!

I am also still in the African Confederations Cup . I beat the team from Burkina Faso 5-0 on aggregate, and had a major scare against massive underdogs Recreativo de Libolo of Angola in the 2nd Round. I won 2-1 at home, and was expecting an easy victory away, but it wasn't to be. A shocking first half performance put me 2-0 down at half time, and I went 3-0 down after 70 minutes. I was absolutely furious! However, on 82 minutes, Granwald Scott (a fantastic January signing from Ajax Cape Town, and already a massive fans favourite) scored a screamer, and, on 88 minutes, my defensive midfielder Thulani Hlashwayo (also a January signing) popped up from a corner and sent me into raptures! However, that was not the end of the drama! On 92 minutes, Libolo got a controversial penalty. I wasn't best pleased! It didn't matter though, because my 3rd January signing, Daniel Agyei, a Ghanaian 'keeper saved the penalty, and I went through on away goals!

Next round: Primeiro de Agosto, also from Angola. Great. If I win that though, I will finally make it through to the Group Stage. It is a strange competition!

Finally, the end of season awards: I got Manager of the Year, Khama Billiat, a Zimbabwean summer signing got Young Player of the Year and Thembinkosi "Terror" Fanteni was named Player of the Year and Top Scorer.

I've just started a new game with Leicester. I want Pantsil off my wage bill but nobody wants to make a bid for him. Even when I put him in the reserves and offer to terminate his contract so that he wants to leave, I get the same message saying that 'as things stand no club considers a bid for Pantsil viable'. Any suggestions?

Lower the asking price? To 0 if you must

If not, you may have to wait till January!

[leicester4life]

Why get rid of Pantsil? on the game, he's a lot better than Peltier.

[Limeade]

everyone buy tomas kalas in there first season, plays for sigma olomuc in the czeck republic, i bought him in my second lcfc season hes now my captain having won 6 pl titles in a row and 2 champions leagues in my 11th season

[Limeade]

whos this sanogo?? i want him

[Dan]

Wow, how the fvck is this happening.

Absolutely killing League Two on the same scale that I killed the BSP, first year up and I've hardly made any big signings. Made a few frees/loans but it's all for cover really.

I guess we just click as a team and really take our chances. We seem to give anyone a real game.

Just started my first Premier League game with Leicester City after winning the Championship on the last game of the season.

Using the 12.0.4 version and I don't know how but I have just beat Liverpool 3-1 at Anfield

This was my starting line-up and subs

FM RTE isn't free anymore, what the frig?

I got the 5.0.2 version, it was in Thai but just deleted that language and left English which works for my version 12.0.4.

I rarely use it though, only if a main player is injured like Nugent got injured for 7 months so had to change that so he was fully fit

He got 36 goals in 44 league games Is that what's going to happen next season? We can only wish

[Ashley]

Found a glitch on iPhone game for transfers going out should you want to keep that player and the board only sells him due to 'the players big club clause has been trigged'.

Offer your player a contract before the buying club does then unstick the big release clause should the player accecpt he won't move. He will then accecpt the buying clubs contract however on the news feed it will keep coming up saying 'x' player transfer can now be completed but it can't be completed.... Wait until the transfer window shuts and a message will come up saying 'x' player move could not be completed due to transfer window shutting.

[HEGGSY]

Managed to take Salisbury from the BSS to the Championship in 4 straight seasons. Loving it, PL here I come.

[leicester4life]

I did the same with Hinckley, first season in the championship and i finished 16th, its a nightmare with a tiny stadium and my 35k a week wage budget.

Made like 3 million from selling 3 players though.

Yakubu does not strike me one bit as a trequartista

Clearly working though, fair play.

What is everyones opinion on fitness percentages prior to a match?

Eg, will you still start King when he is 84% condition? I dont usually start anyone who's less than 90% but at some point in the season everyones fitness seems to suffer.
