Well its March the 8th 2031 and CAFC HAVE WON THE LEAGUE!!!



League 2...

That's it won with 8 games in hand :D

Also got to the 5th round of the FA cup (4th round win over premier league watford on tv was a nice bonus) and I am in the final final of the JPT! Actually excited as the L2 and JPT wins are ones I didn't do last time I was at this level.

Going to aim to beat the in game l2 points record of 100 first then Plymouths real life 102 record...

Why haven't we got a wee network game going already? We should (maybe in the new one) pick a league except england and see what we can do against each other - like 2 games a week or something..
 
In my second season of BSP (4th Season with Chester)

I came 1st with 100 points, about 40+ Goal difference, least goals conceded, most goals scored.

My Reserve Team came 1st.

My Under 18's came first.

Yay :p
 
Arrrghhh injuries...... :(
i get so fed up with injuries in this game it just feels so unrealistic. Most of mine occur when the players are playing for their country - and there is bugger all I can do about it. At the moment, I have 8 injuries. Most are long term, and the worst part is that the long termers are my best players. My star striker has been out for 3 weeks. I've got a £40 million winger (who cost me £70m two seasons back) out for 6 months with a broken leg. I've got a £40m midfielder out for 3 months. A £35m defender out for 6 weeks.. and more besides.. It's a nightmare. There is also a good chance some of these guys will lose form over the term of their injury. I'm now left fielding 18 year olds.
 
Just wondering what tactics people are using? i have a good tactic iv used for big teams but when im in the prem with a small team i struggle a lot even after investing in decent players!
 
Scored a new L2 points record of 106 and won the JPT :D

So pleased with my second cafc season and busy sorting out a good 3rd....

Weirdly season/career ending injuries happen a fair bit more in this FM than previous ones, it's really frustrating but I think they have just coded more players to have B and C injury proneness ratings, sort of like in real life there are very few world class players that are then also bullet proof....

Just annoying in FM they sort of all coincide a bit more

In game there are 3 big ones that work.

Classic 4-4-2

My 4-1-2-2-1 (game says its 4-3-3 but it has a compact 3 in midfield, 2 attacking wingers and a lone striker)

or 3-5-2 weirdly.

Lots of variations work, including amusingly a lot of sweeper based formations but they are the 3 the game managers use a lot (there is a notable mention for 4-2-3-1 but that only works with a quality playmaker and attacking formation)

For the most part its all about getting the right players in for the formations you want to play more than anything else.
 
Any top tips for someone new to the game, cant get the hang of it at all lol

There's a couple of ingame tutorials to follow that will be worth it if you're not sure what to do, also just throw your self into the main game, only way to learn really.

I can't wait for 2014 :D

*coughs* we have a FM2014 thread ;) (this is a tongue in cheek reminder of the spl style season split between the two games that happens every year)

Was on the verge of getting sacked after losing 4 of 6 games mid season. Managed to turn it around and finish 4th in the end. I also won the European Cup.

Very happy with my squad at the moment.

They're young and still improving and can see a good season ahead. Just sold Sven Bender as I plan to use Phil Jones in the 'anchor man' role.
