I started a new game with Arsenal on the 9.0.3 patch. Signed Zhirkov in Summer for £13m (absolute bargain... awesome signing) and Vager Love in January for £18 incl. clauses (15 games, 6 goals, 6 assists, 7.22 rating) and I won the league, 6 points from Chelsea and FA Cup. :)

Oh and Arshavin doesn't get in my team, lol.

Yeah doesn't seem to get in Arsenal's in mine either. They signed Deco instead!
 
Has anyone soon there coaches have lost stars since the patch?
I always get them to 6/7 stars and had done a few in the first season, then in the summer I've just gone in to get the ones I'm missing and the stars have all dropped. The coaches stats are the same but have less effect.
 
I haven't seen my coaches actually lose stars over the season but there has been a change in the way coaches stars are calculated in 9.3. Motivation, determination and discipline are all factors now.
 
I started with Man City on the new patch

brought in Rat, Pandev, Palombo, Ibesivic, Srna, Gignac, Thomson, Fleck, Vukcevic, got rid of johnson, ireland and a few other surplus players.

Sitting top of the league won 5 drawn 1 but i have a run of chelsea/man u/arsenal in the space of a couple of weeks coming up :(
 
Ireland ends up one of their best players in my game.

Good buys in there though, Rat is a bargain, but not sure for a top range team.

And pah, i could beat Utd/Chelsea/Arsenal with Fulham, well a few draws :p
 
My FM.exe is broken. :( Runs OK but its lost its icon. My desktop shortcut has also lost the FM icon. :confused: Everything runs OK but the icons have disappeared. Naturally I blame syke.

*Edit* Fixed! Phew. :) Re-ran the installer. I reckon I deleted a file to try and get NOD32 v4 working and that somehow affected FM.exe and its icons. :p

really struggling with this patch, sitting 13th with Newcastle nicking 1-0 wins or losses

The same with me, though i'm currently sitting eighth in the table. Can't seem to kill off weaker opposition though i've got wins over Liverpool and Chelsea that I didn't see coming. Need to invest in some better strikers though, most of them couldn't hit a cows backside with a banjo.
 
I've noticed barely any change in the new patch except I'm getting more buggy goals scored against me. The most common one is when a winger comes in from about the corner flag, my defenders all watch him then he runs through my keeper and into the goal from a tight angle, got that one quite a few times.
