BarnzFM Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Yeah Kodjia will be reviewed - I had to push to get him to where he is tbh. I think he needs a couple of additional preferred moves to. You should have enough money there to make the marquee signings, Lansdown is set as a "underwriter sugar daddy" so will pay money into the club if we make losses, so you can spend away that transfer budget.

Do you think Kelly and Dowling might go up now they've signed contracts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnzFM Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Tried to get Kelly to a level above the other u18's but not 100% happy at where he is at in terms of ability now we've got the game - so I'll review. Dowling defo needs another look so I'll keep a close eye on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Yeah Dowling rejected Man C and a few other prem clubs so he's got to be half decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Unless you are a student or unemployed how does anyone find time to play this game?Seems like with all the new features etc it is more time consuming than ever? if you are a single person then you may well have most evenings free so could easily do 2-3 hours a night instead of watching TV. I have a family but work away a lot so manage about 3 hours a week. Hotel rooms on your own 3 nights a week is very boring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Would people say Kodjia was a target man? If you're going by the descriptions FM provide I'd have said he was a Complete Forward.Does being a sugar daddy mean the chairman is more likely to grant additional requests for transfer funds? As really as said above could easily spend more than £3m, maybe £4-4.5m could represent a more realistic value while not meaning too much can be spread out over time?

Lrrr Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Also Freeman's ability as a CAM seems a bit low to me, he showed his quality in the position last season. So for a team of City's standard I'd have thought he'd have been rated higher as a CAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnzFM Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Researchers don't pick the role of the players, the game just lets you know which role is best suited to the attributes that I've selected. Freeman - I've put him down as a natural CAM, again the ratings are the game suggesting his attributes are better suited to a left winger. The thing you need to remember about star ratings and role/position ratings is that they're upon the assistant managers ability to judge ability (if that makes sense), means they're very subjective. Id suggest playing the players in positions you feel they'll perform better based on attributes and not ratings. I've got freeman playing CM and doing well despite it not being his natural position - just by playing him there he's being trained in that position and role anyway so will become better given time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnzFM Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 In terms of the sugar daddy he won't be more likely to allow bigger budgets, but you won't need to worry so much about spreading that money about over a few years to get a bigger return. Saying that I've had no problem increasing the wage budget so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Cider Ed Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Ive already have Korey Smith spit his dummy out because I rejected a £800k bid from Sheff Weds for him. Fulham are sniffing around Freeman as well. Im attempting to get 3 at the back work, something ive never had much joy with on FM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnzFM Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Yeah I had to give Smith a new contract to settle him down. Im in January and doing well with 3 at the back, started with Freeman behind the strikers but had to move him back into a midfield 3 to make it more solid. Sitting 2nd in the league, Moore's loan ending was a big problem for me. Youll need to get the wingbacks attacking to have success with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.D Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I had the same with Smith but he calmed down and accepted a new contract too. Got rid of all the loans as we are paying a huge chunk of wages for them in the game, signed McCann from Wigan for £1.7m.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffiN94 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 For people playing with a 3 at the back system how have you set up your midfield and strikers? I'm sitting a few points off the playoff but the strikers don't get involved much and miss a lot of sitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tts_city Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Got to the end of a very tough first season, finished 17th, was looking forward to a nice new transfer budget only to be given 110K!!!!! thats transfer budget not wage, looks like im in for another tough season.

JamesBCFC Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I started one jobless, and eventually ended up at Barrow, but subscribed to the news on city and saw a bit for Freeman by Fulham, saw someone else on this thread has the same and wonder whether it will be like on FM15 where City always signed Jonathan Douglas if you weren't managing them Also I'm playing with 5-3-2 WB at Barrow, and both teams have scored in every game so far (only had about 11 or 12 though). Next game for me is away at Rochdale in the FA cup 2nd round replay, after coming from 3-0 down at half time to get a draw, a win would draw me against Wigan for a third consecutive League 1 team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin 101 Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Somehow managed to get City promoted first time on Beta. Kodjia scored me 30 goals backed up by free agent Eagles who scored 18 and Freeman who got 10. For anyone starting with City I would recommend Harrison Reed and Gael Bigirimana on Loan both class CMs. Oh and not a bad little budget to get the squad up to standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamalagerdrinker Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 So, yesterday I hit the same point of the season that we are at now, I loaned 2 strikers and another Midfield player.. My formation as you can see is 4-3-3 (Attacking mid behind the strikers) Had a little shakey start had a couple of big losses.. Managed to find myself in 10th place, I did push into the Play Off's just after this but I'm back down to 13th as it currently stands. I beat Bolton (My next game and ours in real life) 2-0 then didn't win in five and could feel the hate coming from OTIB in my virtual world, managed to end up beating QPR 2-0.. Will keep peopled updated on the rest of my season if interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shtanley Posted November 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Interestingly we are now now predicted 23rd instead of 24th. We haven't even got Elliot Bennett on loan though which is quite annoying. Kodjia hasn't improved as much as I thought he would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipps69 Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Just started as City. Got Man Utd as my feeder club & signed Sam Johnstone (GK), Jesse Lingard (AMC), Andreas Pereira (MC) & Matheus Pareira (AMRLC) all on loan for the season. I have also signed Jason Cummings (ST) from Hibs £450k, Rico Henry (LB) from Walsall £1.1m, Jamie Hopcutt (AMCRL) £250k, Bradley Ede (MC) £37k for my U21's & I also have Lincoln (AMLC) £1.4m from Gremio coming in in January. The club also stumped up £2.6m for Charis Mavrias (M/AMR) from Sunderland!! I've coughed up £4.43m in transfers & only gained £32.5k back!! im playing a 4-1-1-3-1 formation & after 10 games I'm top of the table by 2 points on 24 points with a goal difference of +10. Happy with how things are although Kodjia is out injured at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
