Football Manager 2015

[Twist]

I am TERRIBLE at this game. Just awful. I miss the days when I could win the Champions League with a Alan Shearer led AIK.

[Benji]

Man U, Bayern, Chelsea, Partick Thistle, what's so weird about that?

[King Ellis]

I don't see what's so Patrick-ularly strange about myself either.

[Cheeky Hughes]

Booooooooo

[King Ellis]

Don't boo me, you should be booing yourself.

[Benji]

I don't see what's so Patrick-ularly strange about myself either.

No we should boo you. It's Partick.

That's right, I finally get to tell you you've put the wrong name.

THE SHOE IS ON THE OTHER FOOT IF YOU SPELL IT INCORRECTLY SIX MORE TIMES.

[King Ellis]

I misspelled it on purpose, I was just trying to Lrrr you in.

[Thrilla]

Misspelt*

[MDK]

You can't boo a leaderlegendiconmegastarbloodyhughes

[Adam]

I can't get anything going at the moment - sacked after a ludicrous 14 game winless run at Brighton, now I can't buy a win with a Bristol City side that has a squad far too good for the division.

[Dan]

He's so fucking good

Just noticed Chelsea are playing at Lampard Park. Neat.

Can anyone explain to be in simple terms how to download and update CM 01/02 onto a laptop without a CD drive?

[Summers]

Update? The old data would be way more fun!

You can get virtual drives that let you mount disc images. The .iso of 01/02 is free to download these days and, IIRC, the data update is just some executable thing that installs itself. Maybe I'm talking out of my arse on that one though.

I think this Seattle team is the most lop-sided I've inherited yet. In a (tiny) squad of 19 players I have one GK, one DL, one DR...but seven players capable of playing AMR. wut.

And immediately I have four other MLS clubs offering to trade me for my singular goalkeeper. Agreeing to this in just about any circumstances would seem to be the stupidest act ever...let alone when the offers are as crappy as:

#1) LA Galaxy offer $266,000

#2) Montreal Impact offer their 1st round pick in the 2022 Supplemental Draft and Real Salt Lake's 2nd round pick in the 2023 Supplemental Draft

#3) New York offer their 1st round pick in the 2023 Supplemental Draft and their 4th round pick in the 2022 Supplemental Draft

#4) NYCFC offer their 1st round pick in the 2023 Supplemental Draft and their 4th round pick in the 2025 Supplemental Draft

Why would I care about 4th round picks in drafts IN FIVE YEARS' TIME when this deal would leave me without a goalkeeper next week?!

In retrospect, watching the film Draft Day a couple of weeks ago was magnificent prep for understanding all this nonsense.

keep in mind, this is the supplemental draft, the draft with players that weren't good enough to go in the actual draft.

[Dan]

Isn't the supplemental draft for players who leave college too early? I know it is for the NFL (like Josh Gordon) but the MLS might do it differently.

One goal short.

[Gazz]

Isn't the supplemental draft for players who leave college too early? I know it is for the NFL (like Josh Gordon) but the MLS might do it differently.

In FM, the supplemental draft is for 23 year old players with a 2 star potential who get released after a year and disappear.

[TCO]

From my experience in the MLS, supplemental draft picks are useless. If you have desires on doing well in the MLS, they can be useful trading bait.
