Gaming Football Manager 2016
- Thread starter FC Ronaldo
- Start date
Started a save with Bournemouth, such a tough task to keep them up, with Atsu, Arter, Wilson, Mings, Ritchie, and Gradel all out for 4-14 months!
I brought in
Balanta £4m
Lucas Romero £4m
Glen Whelan £1m
Charlie Austin £11m
Had a mixed start so far, it's been tough finding a formation to stop goals going in
1-1 draw at home to Norwich
3-1 defeat away to Chelsea
8-3 defeat away at Southampton
4-1 win away to Watford
4-0 defeat at home to Man City
3-0 defeat away to Newcastle
1-0 win at home to Liverpool
Next up away at Arsenal. Tough fixtures yet find myself in 14th place

So Jimmy Wilson in his first season is an absolute monster, just banged 4 in against Arsenal in the first half 
having him and Martial upfront really is fun.

@RedMachine03 Any working link?
No proper crack available yet. There is one crack but with fake names.
Argh. Still not available anywhere here or I'd have bought it ages back. Irritating.
Download it through Steam?
3 times the normal cost mate. Get it for 1k INR once it's available on the online retailers. Was 3k on steam last I checked iirc. Was a while back though, should check again tbf.
1600 atm. Tempting.
So apparently from looking at my team report my squad have the worst teamwork in the league but the best strength. Currently 1st in a very competitive Premiership, with a much weaker team then at least two other teams (Utd/City) so not sure how my teamwork can be so low.
On another note, I saw an article on fm about a manager "Argel fecks", so for the lols I tried to sign him and got some sort of story about me wanting fecks. Good times.

Ahhh, when he was a player, there was a great headline "Fucks off to Benfica" when he transferred there.
The crack is usually out within 2-3 weeks. Wait for it if you can.
Will wait for some more time, let's see. I tend to get bored in 2-3 months which is why I don't want to spend if I can avoid it. Barely played fm15 for a month and had got it for a grand.
Is there no pressers in the lower Spanish leagues? I'm a few weeks into the regular season with Real Oviedo, and I've not done a single one yet. It's great. Hate those things.
Oviedo are garbage. Everyone is injured. Anyone who was remotely decent had a stupidly low release clause and has been swiped from me beyond my control. I've been told I have to reach the playoffs, minimum. Had zero money to spend in the summer, but 3 days after the first window closed, the board gives me £23m to spend. Get fecked.

Do Chelsea ever lose matches? I'm going to end up getting sacked for not winning the league because they never drop points no matter what state their squad is in. I can't catch them as we don't win every single match. They are 8 points ahead of me and I'm 8 points ahead of everyone else. They have a smallish squad, half of them are in need of a rest, they seem to get a player sent off every other week and they have lost Hazard for 8-9 months, yet they just keep winning by 3 or 4 goals despite the fact their team isn't even that good.
Who is your favourite purchase in this FM?
Preferably a player that you bought for a percentage of what they later become worth and he performs consistently.
One of mine is Rajkovic the young Serbian goalie. You can nab him for very little at the start of the game and he quickly becomes a star premiership goalkeeper.

They're a midtable side in my saves. Man Utd won the league in 2018, 2nd in 2019 and won the Europa with their star striker Diego Costa.
Martial is at Liverpool, via Bayern, which makes me want to delete the save....
Great going, what's your starting 11, or is it all regensOh! 2nd season in the Premiership with Bradford...

Delete it. Uninstall it. Complain to the consumer ombudsman. Bullets in the post to Miles.

Bought Maximiliano Romero from Velez in my 5th season at Derby for £7m, initially as back-up for Martial but I ended up changing my tactics to accommodate both. Missed out on Rajkovic 3 seasons ago; he's pretty much unobtainable now.
On a side note, my defence has been conceding a shitload of goals. I have Mathew Ryan and Chambers-Koulibaly-Sakho-De Sciglio as my back line. Tried a formation with a DM but it didn't work out well. Any idea on how I can improve on this?
I am dire at the game. My form is still continuing like Van Gaal. Might just ditch the possession football, and go all out attack
Havent played this for a few weeks. Still in my 2nd season with Everton. Knocked out of the CL qualifiers by Valencia and played 6, lost 6 in the league!
Thinking of picking this up on Friday.
Anything new/interesting about this version?

Scored 100+ goals in the Bundesliga last season. 5 0-0 draws in ten games in this season. Couldn't even score against Besikitas at home in the CL.Not sure what's going wrong, we have about 35 shots and 4-5 clear cut chances. 
No major changes. Still a quality game well worth the money.
I just played the World Club championship. 2 matches in 4 days. Another match 2 days after the final. A match 4 days after that. Then two days later we have another match and in fact a match every 2 days for the next week and a half. I'm down to one striker for all this. Either Martial becomes some sort of super man or Depay plays up front. Which still isn't ideal as I'd preferably have 3 strikers for rotating during all this. Tempted to just throw a couple of regens in even though they are both only 16 and really nowhere near good enough yet.
Andrija Živković got sent off in real life last night in the biggest game of his Partizan career. A winner takes all match wat home to Augsburg for the final qualifying place in their group. A yellow card in each half as they lost 1-3.
Dani Olmo. Managed to get him for 900k, 18 years old, and already first choice AMC. I'll try and grab his stats when I get home, but I'm delighted with him.
Memphis has always served me well upfront.
Started a save with max rep, but unemployed, to see if anything interesting popped up.
Fiorentina in a relegation battle. Signed up, clicked continue and Rossi done his cruciates. Also the best CB got knee tendonitis.

He was brilliant there for me in the Club World Cup. But sticking him there limits my numbers on the wings, which means moving Meyer out there which leaves me with 2 attacking midfielders one of which isn't 100% fit to begin with.
I actually got the calendar wrong too. I didn't have 4 days between matches at any point. I basically had a game every 2 days for 2 weeks. 7 games in 15 days. Lucky I've a big squad and only really my attacking players and Jones are injured.
I did start one of the 16 year olds up front in a match. His physical stats are all great, mental bit meh. Technical other than heading which is 15 the highest he has in any stat is 8. He scored.
So the game is forcing me to have a pre-season training camp I don't want (we're £700k in debt and this trip to Japan will cost £75k) but then all the players who have been selected to go are complaining that i've left them out, that I don't respect them and they hate me.
What on earth is going on?

Yeah, I think the complaining is bugged. I promised Memphis he'd go back in the team after injury(didn't realise it was a promise I thought I was just being nice), he came back and played in all but one match for which he was too tired. He demanded a meeting because he didn't go straight back in the team. I think sometimes they just complain no matter what you do since it's all a bit random anyway.
An issue I've never seen before has cropped up, Schweinsteiger is home sick halfway through my second season. So I thought I'd tell him I'll attempt to bring in someone to help him settle(in hindsight this was a bad idea). I assumed this would produce a list of possible candidates to help him. No such luck. Will any German do? Anyone with his personality type? Any former team mate? Do they have to be from his favourite personnel? I'm baffled now. Mustafi and Meyer are already there too.
He's also annoyed I said our new signing Maximiliano Romero could go right to the top in a press conference.

Just started a game as Parma. This should be fun
Really, this game can go suck a bag of dicks.
That's almost too realistic.Really, this game can go suck a bag of dicks.
Probably Berardi. Forget what I bought him for, think it was around 15-20m in my first season with Sevilla, scored 54 goals in 52 games in all comps, scoring 6 goals over 2 games in the semi finals of the Europa league. Sadly united came and bought him for the £45m release clause that I should have made higher
Probably my best ever first season from a new signing.
