  1. Slightly, but the Super Rare has more potential overall (like, if you pick up a 2nd Super Rare).

    At least, I know when I poured my Rare Pro Rey Mysterio (maxed out both) into my SR Batista, it took until I maxed out Batista to make the difference overall.

    Thanks. It's my best card atm, so I'll just wait until I get SR Pro Bray.

  2. Started a journeyman game unemployed with the intention of winning everything I've loaded. England & Scotland (Premier League to League One), Spain, Italy, France, Portugal, Holland (L1, L2) and Russia and Turkey (L1).

    First job was at Girona in Liga Adelante. Told the board I could get a top half finish, but won the league pretty easily first season and got to the semi final of Copa Del Rey. Second season I lost to Atletico again in the cup semi final and finished 7th in La Liga thanks to everyone but Barca and Real underperforming, so qualified for the Europa League. The squad was quite weak and getting old with contracts expiring, and I wouldn't have had enough money to strengthen the team properly so I resigned.

    I didn't want to waste another season not winning anything, but the only job I could get was at Rijnsburgse Boys in the Dutch second division. I was expected to get a mid-table finish, but when it came down to the last 3 games I was top, level on points with second and third. Thankfully we all managed only 1 point out of a possible 9 and I won the league with the help of a late goal from whoever second place were playing. Knocked out of the KNVB cup at the first hurdle too.

    Again no chance of winning anything, so I resigned immediately and got the job at Rostov in Russia. Didn't have a great league season with my two best players getting injured for the second half, but finished 7th anyway. I won the Russian Cup after a fairly easy run of games, but the team was in a bad financial state, and there were no good Russians available so it was gonna be impossible to compete against the likes of CSKA who walked the league.

    Shopped around for a job, applying at realistic targets aswell as the likes of Monaco, Sevilla and Arsenal just for the hell of it really. Shockingly Premier League runners up Arsenal offered me the job! The Russian Cup must really be something special considering I couldn't get a job in League One this time last year.

    They've got Suarez too! Should be a nice change from managing a bunch of nobodies.

    Spent a lot of money in the summer, signing the likes of James Rodriguez for 45m, Sergio Busquets, Stefan Bell, Luke Shaw & Matej Vydra too totaling a bit over 100m. Also got Alexis Sanchez on a free! Sold the likes of Mulumbu, Joel Campbell, Jesus Navas, Sagna and Cazorla for around 80m, then a few days after the transfer window shut I got a £20m offer for 30 year old Laurent Koscielny who had a year left on his contract which I couldn't really refuse. Had to go the first half of the season with just Shawcross, Mertesacker, Bell and some youngsters as my CB's, but still did pretty well. Spent about 100m in January too, on Stones, Sturridge, Schneiderlin, Laporte, Yaya Toure and a few regens. Ridiculously good team now.

    As for actual football I started off well winning the community shield, but did poor in the FA and league cups going out quite early. The Premier League came down to the final day of the season, Arsenal vs Chelsea, both on 88 points. Chelsea only needed a draw to win the league on goal difference, but it ended 4-3 to me! After beating Real Madrid 4-0 in the Semi Final second leg all that stands in my way of Champions League glory at the first attempt is the mighty..... Ajax?

  3. Decided I simply cannot wait: had to download a transfer update and start playing as Chelsea (with Costa, Fabregas, etc.).

    Sigh.

    Edit: ...But doing so has only served to remind me how NEMANJA MATIC IS ONLY RATED AS 0.5 STARS IN CENTRAL MIDFIELD, WHAT THE HELL :angry:

    Which transfer update are you using? The two I've found haven't worked properly, and since I have no intention of getting FM15, I could do with one that works.

    In the updated Chelsea game I've just started up for fun, I'm trying to force "Fluid" on them right from the beginning, in hope that they'll have figured out how to do it properly by late October, say.

    In fact, not only am I playing every match with "Fluid", but I've decided that in every match I shall also be "Attacking". Just because.

    Obviously if this goes well then the next step is "Very Fluid" and, if I want to really get silly, "Overload". LIKE A MANIAC.

    Also, I always force Fluid Attacking on them, it's just the way I've always played it.

    LFCMarshall's updates are good. I don't have FM14, so haven't played his newest, but I follow his update thread and it looks as good as ever. It should work if you have a legit copy and the latest update.

    I use fluid attacking too 99% of the time. Whenever I try other things it doesn't seem to work as well.

    I have a 40m transfer budget and 150k free wages ready for next season, not sure if I should try for a big name Keeper or get a cheaper decent backup really as Hart, Romero, Akinfeev & Adler would all be willing to join. I have seen a cheap keeper called Ron-Robert Zieler from Hannover available for 2m, but his 18 rushing out is stopping me from buying him. 17 Aerial, 20 Command, 15 Handling & 15 One on Ones though. Also need another Centre Back as only Skrtel managed to get a 7 rating. Santon played really well at LWB and with Johnson at RWB I feel they can both contribute greatly to attack and defence, backups are Robinson and Flanagan though, although Flan is decent.

    Is this a bad thing? Neuer, Lloris etc. have high rushing out...

    If anyone has Brazil loaded and is searching for a cheap top-notch Assistant Manager. Search for Jair Ventura.

    He's 33 at game start, has no qualifications (yet) and he's dirt cheap to get.

    Picture of him just after getting his B qualification.

    Damn right, I sign him nearly every game he's available. Just got him as U18 manager at Arsenal.

  5. I got to about 80% and restarted so I could do the stock market and buy everything, now I'm a billionaire and can't be arsed to get 100% :mellow:

    You could use a save editor to give yourself the money if you want it that much.

    Or spend the rest of your life killing peds for $20.

  6. Man Utd were the first team I saw play football on tv, and I was glued to it apparently. My dad doesn't really support anyone, but prefers United out of everyone and just watches football whenever it's on bbc/itv/. It was the 99 Champions League campaign I first took interest in, and thanks to my newfound support we went on to win the trophy!

    My best friend at school supported Leeds (closest team) and used to wear the shirt on non-uniform day, and I hated that shirt (half blue/half yellow iirc), so couldn't possibly support them.

    I've been called a glory supporter 'cos I'm not from Manchester, like it's my fault the team I started to like when I was 5/6 just happens to be the most successful English team in my lifetime. But it looks like this might finally be the year I get to prove all those fools wrong!
