Aphex_Boro 1,425 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Back to back promotions to the Championship from the Conference North for AFC Telford, bit easy on this year's game so far, should hopefully become a bit of a challenge now Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Gave Boro another shot after the january transfer dealings. I'm in january and sitting first with 4 points down to third. Was 7 points clear in november but had a three game blip which cut my lead down to 1 point. 4 teams are battling for the top-2. Boro, Derby, Ipswich and MK Dons! Rhodes is a beast with 15 goals in 16 games and de Laet is a good right back. Ramirez is a bit of let down though as a number 10 and once again Stuani is just not very good whether he is right wing or up front alone or as a partner. Kike Sola is pretty decent as a target man though but Nugent is a right thundernonce comlaining about being third choice and not getting many minutes. His three goals have all been winning goals though :) Hope I can sell him in january. My weakest spot i probably goalkeeper, but I have 0 money afer signing Andrija Zivkovic for about 3 million in the summer. Monster talent. Was planning on selling Adomah and got 5 million offered by Watford, however only 3 million up front. Declined that offer and took him off the transfer list which was a decent decision as he is very good squad player at this level filling in at both LW and RW. I'm disappointed that I havent been able to sell Nsue though and he is out of contract in the summer so is worth next to nothing now. I'm hoping to conclude a loan offer for a better keeper in january, but not many are available. Otherwise I hope the squad is good enough to see me promoted. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 It is interesting how different people fare with players. Stuani, Kike(mk1) and Nsue were all absolute stars and netted me 38m in transfer fees when I eventually sold them. I cba with modded transfer updates so I'll wait for the official one I think. How good is the modded update, everything correct? Link to post Share on other sites

How good is the modded update, everything correct? So far so good. Only minor mistakes. Kike can play for eibar and Dembele has been transferred to Spurs. Haven't seen any other mistakes. Just knocked out Chelsea at Stamford bridge in the FA cup third round and loaned Begovic the day after. What a loan signing in the championship! And leadbitter is a card magnet. 9 yellows and 3 red cards in 17 games! Link to post Share on other sites
ham_chop 36 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Just downloaded fm16, first time ive played an fm game for a while. There is so much to do now!! Going to see how far i can take my local side, york city! Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I did it. I did it. I finally got Boro promoted - and in some style too going up as champions with 14 points down to Huddersfield in second and 16 points to Derby in third. Also scored the most and conceded the least. Played mainly a 4-2-3-1 but also 4-2-2-2 sometimes. Rhodes was a beast and got 29 league goals. Andrija Zivkovic at right wing was a real beast too scoring 15 goals nd just as many assists. Forshaw too was great. The clearout has begun and Nugent is off to Leeds for 750k and I have accepted 3.5 million for Carayol from them too. All loan signings have gone too although I'd love to loan Begovic again, even though he wasn't outstanding in the Championship. He's not available at the moment though. I've been given 9,5 million to spend and 550k in wages, and with high earners like Nugent and Williams gone along with the loans I'm more than 200k under budget. I'm in the market for a RB, DM, AM and ST. I have already brought in PSG reserve goalkeeper Alphonse Areola for just 300k, but I'm still hoping Begovic becomes available for loan. Selling Nugent and Carayol for 4.25 to Leeds should also boost my transfer kitty a bit, even though most of the Carayol fee is spread over a few years. I'm also looking to offload Leadbitter to raise some more cash, as I rarely used him in the second half of the season due to him always being suspended. Link to post Share on other sites
TheTeessideOne 4 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Thought I'd start a new save ahead of the winter update to get myself back into it. Went with Hartlepool and managed to get promoted in my first season finishing 3rd. Key player was George Honeyman (loan from Sunderland). Finished mid table in second season and a bad start to third season led me to a rejecting a board room meeting so I was sacked on the spot. Got the Sheff Wed job straight away in the Championship. Sitting just outside the PO with a few games to go! Can't wait for the winter updates, Boro will be unstoppable! Link to post Share on other sites
OldManGravz 1,311 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Can't wait for the winter updates, Boro will be unstoppable! If BD can get Boro promoted with the update, anyone can haha Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Just got started on the new Prem season. a 1-2 away loos at Norwich, 5-2 home win agains Leicester and a 2-3 away loss against Watford. I've had a pretty busy summer: Sold: Stuani 5 million Nugent 750 k I thought I had sold Carayol to Leeds for 3,7 million but that never went through. I had accepted their bid but nothing happened for over a month and I inevitably cancelled the deal and now I can't get any offers. Bought: Bamford 3,5 million Areola: 230k De Laet 1,9 million Carles Gil 2 million Gaston Gil Romero 4,3 million Bojan 3,5 million Rafael (keeper) on loan from Napoli Paddy McNair on loan In january I'm getting a 17 year old Colombian midfielder who already has 14 caps! Jesus Marimon. Only 450k! Had a budget of 9 million so a lot is spread over 48 months and also had to reduce my wage budget to 505k. It's a lot of change so it's going to take some time for them to gel. Rhodes started the season injured and Bamford has just become injured for 2 months. He has started well with 3 goals in 2 matches. So I have promoted Jakupovic and Chapman. Looking back I somewhat regret signing Gil, but he was cheap and covers a lot of positions.

boroinbishop 65 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Playing high tempo with a wide shape, with exploit the flanks, look for overlap and and run at defence instructions Link to post Share on other sites
boroinbishop 65 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 30 games in and 14 points clear of 3rd place and 8 ahead of 2nd, just seeing out the season really Sent gibson out on loan as he wasn't getting much game time and was harming development, Kalas and Ayala have been boss Anyone starting a save as boro simply has to get marco motta, available as a free transfer and now worth £3.4m Link to post Share on other sites
