football manager 2011

[Birdman1878]

3rd season in decided to make fellaini captain but changed my mind after 1 game and gave it to rodwell(who I was told originally would be the best choice). Terrible idea. Fellaini hates me, the whole team hates me. Rodwell is in a better mood though.

Anyone playing at any club whatsoever who can afford him, bring this lad in.

He is astonishing.

My Everton team in 2015/16 season:

Fernando (20 year old Wonderkid Brazilian newgen, best 'keeper in the world)

Fabio/Baines
Bayal (Man mountain Senegalese defender, well good)/Luiz (Wonderkid Brazilian Newgen)
Phil Jones (From Blackburn, never heard of him but he's developed into a top centre-half)/Gum (6'6'' promising centre-half)
Santon/Bocaly

Defour/Fellaini/Ganso/Pastore/Rodwell/Digao (20 year old world class Brazilian newgen)

Tafer/Babacar/Neymar/Doumbia

I play a 4-3-3. Honours won so far:

4 Premier League Titles (runner-up to Man Utd the one season I haven't won it)
2 FA Cups
2 League Cups

Lost in the Champions League final to Roma last season Just broke the transfer record with £40m for Pastore, got injured day before first game for 6 weeks...

So yeah, it's going well!

How have you just spent £40m?!

I'm in the 2014/2015 season and the team's record transfer is still Fellaini!

I've won the league twice, the FA cup once and the Europa League once, the most I've spent is £12million on Bent!

I've sold £60m worth of players and the board don't give me any of it!

My average price on buying players is £5m, the only way I managed to get a decent striker like Bent is by selling Rodwell for £35m.

If you spread the cost of the transfer over 48 months, you can spend 4x your seasonal budget.

So if you have £10m in the bank, you can bid £40m. I call it "doing a Leeds", but I'm confident I can continue doing well enough to satisfy the bank. It's a gamble though.

The board gave me £33.5m this year, and £42m the year before. I'll get less next year because £10m from the Pastore transfer comes out of next years budget, and £10m out of the following year and so on.

I spent...

2010/11 - Khouma Babacar (Fiorentina) £14m
2011/12 - Ganso (Santos) £15m
2012/13 - Moustapha Bayal (Saint-Etienne) £15.5m
2013/14 - Garry Bocaly (Montpellier) £11.5m
2014/15 - Neymar (Santos) £24m
2015/16 - Javier Pastore (Palermo) £40m

I've spent £77m net.

Yeah, I had to do that to get Bent.

I've Bought.

10/11- Aurier(Lens) 5m
11/12- Hargreaves(Utd) Free, Klose(Bayern) Free
12/13-
13/14- Brahimi(Rennes) 5m
14/15- Bent(Sunderland) 12m

and I've sold

Yak 9m
Heitinga 8m
Neville 3m
Osman 5m
Rodwell 35m

I don't see a penny!

Season 2015/16, first nine home games shown above, averaging close to five goals a game xD

One ridiculous combination of strikers in a 4-3-3 - I have them all swapping positions and running the channels and defences just fall over under their collective might!

Thinking of buying this... !!

My question:

Has anyone ever downloaded the game from Amazon? If yes, how was the process? etc. etc.

I'd recommend it if you can get it on the cheap. Don't pay full retail.

Use a program called Steam to download it. It's the commonly used method of playing Football Manager and it's safe.

Go to http://community.sigames.com/ for details on it.

The only realistic thing about that is 'boasting' about under soil heating

OMFG, i've put maybe 20 seasons behind me with Everton since FM08 looking for the frucking board to go for a new stadium. Just never happened. Even though i go 7 seasons in, become the dominating club in all of europe, earning a few expansions, but never a new stadium.

Says you got a naming deal there - what's the new stadium named?

It's just called Everton Stadium at the moment, dunno if that will change.

Just won the Champions League, FA Cup and league.

140 goals in the league, 103 points.

Khouma Babacar scored 58 goals in 49 games. Neymar got 44 in 51. Ridiculously easy.

I think the key is getting a worldwide reputation, as Kenwright is about to leave - boardroom takeover was rumoured once the stadium plans came about, which is realistic lol.

Struggling in a bit here in my 4th season as Everton. Well, I'm 5th, just can't get my team firing like they did last season. Lukaku and Dzeko up front =)

p.s. has anyone ever had a Statue put up in their honour on a FM game?
