Atokous' Football Manager 2012 Story


Recommended Posts

Hey,

 

I will be writing a story of my Football Manager 2012 campaign (starting with Boro) so check it out :)

 

I am writing it via a blog site as i think it will be much easier to read as you can click on a selected post and comment rather than having to scroll through a forum thread and look for each individual post.

Hope you enjoy it,

dont mean to appear rude but your effort to improve the team is shamful you dont need scouts to find players just look for them . there are two players on the game that will almost secure promotion and all you need is 1.5 million . jali is one of them and the other off the top of my head is a cameroonian striker jali cost 300k and can play in like 5-6 different midfield positions . and the striker 1.2 mil and there isnt a better one in the championship.

 

also might I add if you try to sell the entire boro team you could get 30+ mill to spend so highlighting the two top qaulity players I just mention for 1.5 mill that would leave you with 28.5 to spend on who ever you wish with qaulity loans and free transfers then you would have a championship escaping team you could truely call your own .

 

also you thread is in the wrong place .

I suppose your correct. In my third season and the only original players still in my team are Thompson and Bennet, didn't get 30 million tho...

will have a read later, the bloke who does the stats for boro on fm posts here i think. He is a bit of an idiot though. Knows way too much about football in general.

Quintero is incredible. Look for him if you can! :D

 

there are some incredible young players in fm 2012 :)

 

Romario, Fierro, Sanogo, Niang, Torres (not fernando; erik), Soukouna, Prestia, Pogba... the list is endless

Atokous I'm sorry I read my post and it starts pretty rudely I'm truly sorry for that . If you transfer list your entire sqaud on day one and offer them to other clubs at double there value the clubs will offer a lower amount the you should counter offer them the player at 2 3rds what they offered originally plus 1 million over 48 months

Its a long process but works eventually I sold small wood to man city for 3 mill upfront with 2 over 48 months which I think is amazing .

 

Plus the 1000000 over 48 months really helps you stopping the finances bleeding all over the place .

 

I've managed to get exactly £40.000.000 for my entire team minus Jason Steele because I couldn't be ***d looking for a new keeper . I started it from scratch last night it took me 4 hours to sell my team last night and replace it over 35 f.m days

No worries :)

 

That's fairly impressive.. My selling skills are non-existent atm, need to work on those; thanks for the tip.

 

I'll get round to writing my next post and you can tell me if i've done any better :)

Havent played in a couple of months, but in case anyones interested, I've attached a screenshot of my Boro team in 2015. I won the championship in 2012, came 7th in 2013, 3rd in 2014 and 2nd in 2015.

 

Thus my problem with FM, and the reason why I stopped playing so early this year. It's TOO easy. Theres too many things that can be exploited to make a massive transfer budget for any team, and one killer tactic can destroy all.

Didn't sell the entire team, but offloaded players like Kink, Emnes, Hoyte, bailey and some other players I knew I wouldn't use. Couldn't get rid of Arca and now I'm glad McManus rejected Leicester as he is beginning to play really good. Bought that Jali fella and Yaya Sanogo as others have said they are good. Jali hasn't impressed me though. Also brought in a swedish right back recommended by my scouts. Johannson I think. 19 years old and only 400 k. Is playing really good. Also brought in Rose and Delfouneso on loan. McDonald got injured for 4 months after starting the season with 11 goals in 10 games.

 

My surprise package is probably Smallwood who has currently sent Thomson to the bench. Even though he is equipped with a very unmanly name he is a battler and provides numerous assists. Gets good rating most of the games. Anyway, I'm second currently going into december, but Birmingham are currently running away with it, winning almost all of their matches.

Borodane with jali focus your training efforts on him to improve solely his passing for one year then his tackling the next his passing should go up to 16 after half a year though he does improve. I thought he was rubbish too but he won my player of the year so I was wrong .

Even if he poor just think of the profit you will make on his petty 350k transfers to you.

 

I've said before I once rejected a £18,000,000 plus 3,000,000 addons offer from Liverpool for jali

My coaches seem to rate him, and I have him on a seperate tackling training scheme recommended by my coaches. Only problem is, his agent insisted that he got 3 million release clause should a club from a higher division come in with an offer. Shouldn't be a problem if I'm promoted though.

 

Iv'e signed Leigh Griffiths too for something like 650k. A young striker who is on loan i Scotland from wolves. Saw that he did reasonably well in another game, so I decided to give him a chance in this game. Delfouneso is an emergency loan until january when Griffiths will arrive.

 

I've also bought Prestia from Palermo who I found when playing with Tottenham but never got to use him. He is only 17 but I think he'll be ready for the Prem in 1-2 years time.

 

I'm not a big fan of loanees as I prefer to develop on my own players, but I must say that Delfouneso is doing a cracking job atm.

McDonald was a don for me in the first season too.. think he scored 19 but missed 3/4 months with injury

 

Soukouna is probably the best player you can get for free in the first transfer window.

 

I'll write my next post today so i can try and catch up to where i am atm :)
