***** Official Football Manager 13 Thread *****

Is anyone finding their team conceding a few goals in the first half then making epic comebacks?
I've been down by a couple of goals in a few saves now and usually tend to come back and win the match, that's also included a match in my Liverpool save where I went down 4-0 at half time and came back to win the match 5-4.
It happens far too regularly for me and I'm thinking it may actually be a bug, has anyone else noticed this?

You do know he has a 3.5mil buyout? or do you mean overall its cost you 7.75 with all the addons?

Yep - bought for £3.5mio now worth £8m - 3 assists in first 4 games plus a couple of goals. Bought another junior Brazilian - 17yr old with a silly minimum fee release clause whom looks pretty decent.

Anyone finding ridiculously high scoring games? Had a run of four games where I won 4-1, lost 5-0, drew 4-4 and drew 3-3. At one point about 60% of highlights were resulting in goals!

Not particularly. There appear to be several different trends that people are experiencing that I think are probably just coincidence. Thankfully the goals from crosses appears to have reduced after the patch, but I seem to concede a fair amount of near post goals which is frustrating.

Will also have a look at this Wellington Nem player.
 
Hmm...I told the missus no, but she insisted she bought me FM13...

So, started with Stoke...hardly any money what so ever...

EDIT:-

OUT
Crouch - Arsenal - £4M
Tonge - Free
Edu - Udinese - £70K p/m £3M anytime
Delap - Leicster £325K
Jerome - Hull - £12K p/m - £1.3M anytime


IN
Salgado - free
Wellington Nem - £3.5M
Anderson - £4.3M


Looking for a half decent striker as Kenwyne Jones and Micheal Owen are not the best...

Yeah, I've noticed this on various forums - people mentioning far too many goals, but also some experiencing loads of 0-0s!

As long as it all balances out over the season, I don't really mind what goes on on the pitch. Lots of disallowed goals though... at least one a game! :eek:

Doria is another cheap young Brazilian I'm trying to get, but I've run out of transfer funds. But the other young Brazilian I snapped up was Adryan - 17 yr old AMC/MC. Looks pretty decent! Also loaned in some Czech centre forward from Lazio called Kozov (?) to play as a lonely Target Man up front - got 16 for finishing, 20 for heading and very decent strength and jumping. Got injured in his second game, torn hamstring... lovely.

The only thing I've noticed so far is that defenders movement isn't quite right, it's still a little easy for wingers to dribble in at an angle and score at the near post (not as bad as it was in the beta mind you)

Don't the Brazilians require work permits?

Some transfers do surprise me. As with almost every single game on any format, the AI is the weak point of the game.
 
Peter Crouch was top goalscorer in the first season for Stoke. 24 goals, all controlled by the AI!

I came 8th with Chateauroux in the end. Predicted 14th so I didn't do too bad. My tactics were absolutely dire during the last half of the season. :(

They do, I believe, however all three were approved work permits to join me in The Championship - however I initially purchased two of them and missed out on the third due to budget being spent. When I reapproached the third his work permit application was denied... :(

Desperately need a forward as Kevin Phillips is a tad old to be leading the line :) although I have no remaining money!

Still too slow for me Crouch is...bagged Danny Graham for £8.25M a little more than I wanted to pay but hopefully worth it.

What tactics are everyone using? I have a nice 4-2-3-1 going and a 4-5-1 that is doing well.

Just sold Dean Whitehead for £2.7M to Notts Forest...

Try loaning someone like Wilfried Zaha?

EDIT:- There is a 'Wonderkid' at Hearts also, 17 year old Striker valued (for me) @ £375K. I tried buying him and Hearts wanted £5M+ should be able to loan him though? His name is 'Callum Paterson'
 
I'm playing:

..................DLF
WINGER ..................WINGER
............AP BWM DLP
LB........CB........CB..........RB
................GK

I was playing 4-4-2 but struggled a lot. :(
