Rite then guys lets talk...
your teams current position/year,
your best buy,
your unknown superstar (i.e the player you found in outer monglia and has scored 82 in 50 games the one who's made the impact for you),
your formations,
and anything else Football manager related.

Suppose i should start then
My team is alty were in 2011 and in the chamionship, been there 2 years and are comfortable mid table/ playoff hopefulls
My best buys have to be my whole defence, all brazil under 20's Lima Vinicus and two players both called Martins, cost me the grand total of 2.5 million which is what the cheapest is now worth alone,
My unknown superstar has to be another brazillian, forward this time, Andre Duarte scoring for fun this year and again he was a brazillian under 20
My formation is 4-3-3 and with the three center mids the two outside men pushin out wide as with the forwards and the center forward pulling back it rules!
-
Longsdenjr 2011 already!
17th with alty at end of first season, but last 8 games won 6, lost 1, drew 1 :D (and did double over fgr and tamwuf!)
Best Buys Rob Duffy £160 a week from oxford and glenn poole from grays
James Sinclair on loan from bolton is amazin!
generally 4-4-2 im boring!
Best result: 4-1 vs fgr!!!!!!! and beatin northwich away ;D
-

I am getting this game for my birthday in mid december but in the meantime have downloaded the demo to get a feel for the game.
The demo only allows 6 months of a season and I hope this is a restrcited version as scouting and training schedules seem impossible to set up.
Anyway, I used a combination of Joe O'Neill and Lee Hendley upfront, with lawton on the right wing. This seemed to work well in the friendlies but as soon as the season started I lost all four opening games.
Anyone got any tips on formation and players.
-
League & cup games are a lot harder than friendlies. The AI seams to know there is nothing at stake in friendlies.
My best tip is, don't stick to the same formation. The comuter cottons on and will change tactics to stop you. Also trying something unexpected mid game can work; going 4-2-4 when the AI is not expecting it can get you a goal when you need it.
Here ends Daycare's lesson.

Yes that'll be me!
Hope all Alty FM players find the game true to life. I tried to be objective about the stats I gave players. I did not do any players we signed over the summer, so if Joe scores 20 a season it's not my doing!!
Bloody hard work setting all that up you know hope it was worth it as I have hardly played the game yet.
Longsdenjr - how'd u get a copy so early? I only got mine on the Thursday and SI sent it to me in the post!!!

when was the game released then as my mother and father in law bought it last weekend for me from stafford. Is it that new?
-
bout last month i think i dunno once it is released days merge into one
-
Jenga, where do I find this demo download, am interested but never played it, would like a try first.
-
The free 6 month demo is available from
http://www.sigames.com/
-
Cheers mate, wasn't 100% sure of such a speedy reply on the back pages! ;D
-
I got my demo from here
http://www.footballmanager.net/en/article/21/1298.html
have to say it does appear to be stripped down version and certainly not the full game as the demo would suggest.
It is apparently compatible with the full version so saved games work but with reduced tactics and cant seem to scout for players or find a transfer list I dont think I will be using my saved game to transfer across.
Seems to be a good game IF all these options that seem to be missing are available in the full version.
Any comments from people who have the full copy? I dont get my my copy until my Birthday on the 18th Dec (37 years old - will be looking as old as Trucker soon) . Jeez that old hey!!!
-
u got the vannilla version the strawberry release was fully operational

Anyone played the PSP version yet?
I'm top of the conference with Alty, no signing made........
;D ;D
-
For some reason the PSP version is supposed to be ridiculously easy...
On the PC version i am in my fifth season with my most local team Farsley Celtic and im currently 11th in the Conference National. Still part-time and fighting hard to stay in and become an established team in the Conf.
1st season - 12th in Conf North
2nd season - 4th in Conf North - beat Leigh RMI 1-0 in't play-off final
3rd season - 24th in Conf National and relegated... left with ultimatum to win promotion again or id be sacked, so..
4th season - 1st in Conf North overhauling Nuneatons 10 point lead at the top with 10 games to go.
5th season - 11th after 17 games
Some interesting changes, Woking and Cambridge (woo hoo!) in League 1, Huddersfield in the Prem, Burnley in League 2, Mansfield, Rotherham, Wrexham, Torquay and Vauxhall Motors in the Conference!
-
Agreed the PSP is too easy, however it's always good to beat Macc 6-0 at their place!!
Can't get into the PC verson for some reason at the moment.
-
Its better than it ever has been. Never before on previous games have i been relegated which came as a shock. Usually you can guide a team like Farsley/Leigh etc.. into the Championship by 2015, which is er.. quite unrealistic. The new touches are good, the better player interaction and comments about refs! I just wonder how they can better it.. but they always find a way.
-
3rd season and gateshead are in the conference! ???
-
Getting into it now, have started a new game with just English leagues running so my pc can just baout cope.
With Xmas round the corner there is plenty of opportunity for marathon FM sessions yay!! 8)

Anyone got any tips on the team talks?
Eveyone in my team seams to ignore what I'm saying, morale is through the floor and I can't work out how to pick it up....
Any suggestions welcome!

Hi Dan,
I find the teamtalk after affects aint that important, as everytime i checked they didnt seem too bothered, and they don't much now, and im in my seventh season with Farsley. Its important to say something though.. I find when you're clear favourites at home you should 'I expect a win' it and if you're playing a close game or a team expected to beat you, pick the 'Wish Luck!' or 'You can win this!'.
If im winning at half time i go for the 'Dont get careless!' option whereas if i am losing but playing well, i go for the 'You can win this!' again. If im losing and playing sh*t, i go for the 'I want to see more from you!'. If youre winning at half time, dont go for the 'Pleased' or 'Elated' options, you're team generally concedes within ten minutes after picking that.
And i guess after the game whatever the result and performance will judge you're responce. Losing at home to a sh*te team and i go for 'Disappointing' or if im struggling, i show a bit of 'Angry!' option. If you win at home, i go for the 'Pleased' whereas if i win away at a good team, i pick the 'Fantastic Result!'
If you managed to bear with me through that, good luck!

Cheers Chris, I'll give it a shot!

I'm in 2011 and have found this new version much more realistic.
I stuck with the current (real) Alty squad for the first few years but made a whole load of youth signings.
I now have about 15 good players coming through who are between 19 and 24.
Some games I don't have any original players on the park, which is kinda bittersweet but I've definately got a good team for the next few years.
2006/7: 20th (safe by 1 point!)
2007/8: 17th
2008/9: 18th
2009/10: 15th
2010/11: 10 games to go and currently in 5th [thats those young guys breaking through]
Best Signings:
Dean Thornton (GK):
Signed from Wycome on a free in 1st Season.
Really good technical and physical (loads of 16's, 19's +20's).
Now worth 240,000 pounds!
Matt Bowman (ST):
Signed from Sheff Wed in 3rd Season.
Great goalscorer, 17 finishing.
Warren McBean (ST):
Signed from Braintree, originally at Barnet.
Really quick, not great other stats but scores lots anyway.
Harry Smart (AML):
Signed from QPR for 1000 pound in 2009.
20 dribbling and scores goals as well.
Julius Etuhu (CD):
Nigerian, signed for 1000 pound from QPR this season.
Not brilliant numbers but plays really well and consistantly.
Only 20 but just got called up to Nigerian Senior Squad!
Leon Lekej (CD):
Serbian kid signed from Sheff Wed in 3rd season.
Excellent technically and good everywhere else except REALLY slow (2 acc and 2 pace).
Playing for Serbian U21 but only just turned 18.

-

-
just won my third league and cup double with psg with only buying one player. (benjamin genton a good defender from the french second league-worth a look). just need any sugestions on cheap players to help me get past the quarter finals of the champions league, i need a creative midfielder and a left back (who can challenge my current left back to motivate him).
-
just bring in warren peyton. that should do the trick.
-
yeah can just see that now lol did look at bringin in robbie but he didn't want to play french league football
-
brazill under 20's always worth a bet
-
your only allowed 5 non EU players in a match saquad for the league (and i have 6 in total in my first team squad). would be ok in the champions league but there moral would be cr*p when they arnt playing regular football. however i have discovered that after 3 years frank ribery has said he "wants a move to a bigger club", so i have tabled a bid.
-
trust me look at their Other ntionalities, alway a portugese or italian
-
marcelo is a quality full back get him while you can !!
-
