Football Manager 2016

[MDK]

Anyone else get sentimental about players? Dean Cox is still pretty good at the level we are at now but I know I could get someone better. But he is loved by the club, is deputy captain and I personally love him. I want to wait until he's had ten seasons with us so I can give him a testimonial.

[Baddar]

Whenever I do a United game, I'll always give Januzaj and Pereira lots of playing time. They both develop really well, so always like to hold on to the pair of them.

[MDK]

Just out of interest what is the minimum condition that you will let your player play? I usually will only dip below 90% is I don't have any other options.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Same, over 90% ideally, above 80% if I don't have any other viable choices.

[The Lusophone]

Pretty much, although I've usually got a big enough squad to rotate out anyone in the low 90s.

[MDK]

Good, I was wondering if I was being picky

[EddieG]

.. man, I must be picky I tend to do 95+

[Meacon Keaton]

When I put my squad together, I'm usually lacking in the depth department, so I'll start my first teamers unless they're below 89%

[METALMAN]

Uh, I'd usually go for about 90%, but my current team is mediocre mid-table Premier League with the exception of my striker, who is one of the best in the world. So I'll usually play him no matter what. He's my best player by some distance even when he's exhausted.

[MDK]

Most of my first team sound like commands.

Steve? Cook (I'm hungry)
Will? Packwood (Need firewood)
Ryan? Hedges (Do the gardening)
Jack? Payne (I like it rough)
Dean? Cox (err, hang on)

Hobo's crazy FM 15 career trajectory: Vancouver Whitecaps -> NYFC -> Chelsea.

Also, holy crap are there a number of players here on stupid contracts who have never played. See James McCarthy who has made 1 league appearance and is on 130K a week in two years.

[MDK]

This game pisses me off sometimes.

Me: I would like the youth training updated a bit
Board: We would rather you sign young players
Me: Oh, okay. How about some more scouts?
Board: We would rather develop our own players
Me: Oh fuck off

Good, I thought it was just me that gets screwed when it came to stupid wage demands >_>

[Twist]

Started a game with Derby. Won the Championship first year, won the Premier League the second year. I think I broke the game.

Ive been playing the game 20 years and never managed anything quite like that.

[Meacon Keaton]

Cheater. :/

[Adam]

I've won the Premier League once in 16 years of playing CM/FM, and it took me an almighty 18 seasons in one 01/02 save to do that with West Ham, having started at Donny in the Conference.

Needless to say I am very much a journeyman average FM player.

[Hobo]

I arrived in time for Chelsea to move to the Zola Stadium! Which is my favorite of FMs made up stadiums.

[Bobfoc]

I've always liked Perryman Park.

[MDK]

For once I've actually made some quality signings that have worked for the start of the season! I actually took time to scout, I actually let players go on a free, I even sold Jay Simpson (I really wanted to keep him but he isn't as good as he was :() and I'm second in The Championship after 11 games with 20 points. Still I'm aiming for 50 points to not get relegated. 

And I never used to take contracts seriously but now I make sure I get the best deal for me. No yearly raise, optional contract extension and pay them as little as possible >_>

[Gazz]

I've never understood why most FM players never haggle wage demands.

[Lineker]

Finally into my game. Rose and Walker with low crosses into Kane is deadly. The Prozone stuff makes this game quite easy too.
