Going to start again after patch. Turns out one of the bugs I encountered is only "fixed" in new saves so has carried over.
Never mind. Turns out the offer I accepted that I thought was because of a clause was because Tinkler came in and accepted it.
Chapman gone to HJK for £1m :(
Tinks is going on a spree.
Accepted an offer for Birra, off to Empoli for £375k.
Accepted an offer for Goodwin, off to Queen of the South for £80k.
Spree is over.
Transfer embargo enforced.
Takeover complete. Ray Baartz is new chairman of Newcastle Jerks and decided not to replace me.
Baartzy's got it all, for sure...
Awful.
Loved it :gent:

Change to 1080p for your uploads :gent:
Leeds, bunch of noobs!
I finished my pre-season off better with all wins against Valentine (5-1), Toronto (5-0), South Coast Wolves (2-0) though was beaten by Apia (1-0). I had enough of pre-season by that point so Deans took charge of the final 2 pre-season games drawing both, Sutherland Sharks and Blacktown City FC (both 0-0).
First game in charge against Adelaide and i set up the side with a 4-2-3-1 formation. Unfortunately this formation does not leave room for both Griffiths and Heskey. Heskey starts with Griffiths on the bench. The opening stages are pretty tame with the Jets keeping most of the ball but doing nothing with it. In th 15th minute after passing the ball around for a little while Goodwin passes the ball to Ritter who is standing on the sidelines halfway between the 18 yard box and halfway. For some unknown reason he lays the boot into the ball towards goal, as it's floating through the air toward Galekoevic, Heskey starts sprinting towards him, which i think scares the shit out of him as Ritter's ball gets into the back of the net and Jets take the lead to what is described as a "Bizzare Goal".
Jets rap up the points in the 32nd minutes when a through ball is played through to "Mr Pace" himself, Heskey, and he runs away and fires home . The match ends 2-0 though could and probably should of been different if it wasn't for Birighitti in goals.
Good start, i can only see it getting better once my only signing of the pre-season is match fit, Vince Grella, who helped the Youths to a 2-0 victory. I'm enjoying this game so far. I can already see its better than FM12.
Cool!
So Heskey is in the game as a Jets player from the off? Nice!

signed joel griffiths as australian marquee in preseason. scored twice on debut v some sydney state league team. brown scored a shot-cross from the sideline also.
went into the season - had a 3-3 draw with adelaide (vidosic scored a hattrick), a 3-0 win v sydney (with two griff disallowed goals aswell!) and a 2-0 loss to ccm (sterjovski at the double). so i'm all over the place now.
did a bit of contract negotiations, zadkid was being a mega pest with ott wage demands. decided to leave him out of the squad as he's been well shit, and he left through mutual agreement.
have signed devon hodges, jamaican international striker & had scored 11 in 11 at thai club level. got red carded in the coast game after coming on for heskey.
so all over the place!!
What formation you playing, pv4?
i vary a bit. as a general rule i play a 4-3-3 as:
--------------biraz---------------
neville--tiago--chapman--ritter
brown/ribeiro--kanta--goodwin
-----griff--heskey--ryu---------
but i change that up sometimes and play 4-1-2-1-2 with griff playing the treq role.
deans keeps telling me my midfield is getting overrun, so i dabble with a 4-2-3-1 at times aswell but find i create no chances with that.
i play either attacking or control, and usually play fluid.
If you vary a bit, have you at least got the different formations "saved" under your tactics section under Current/Back Up tactics? If not, they won't get familir with them during match preparation so if you switch it up often enough, they will be heaps disjointed.
Is it all narrow or are Brown and Goodwin playing as wingers? That would explain why Deans says you are getting overrun, means you have Kanta there and that's it. If they are narrow though and your fullbacks are giving width, the solution is simple... DEANS OUT.
yep have 3 saved formations (4-3-3, 4-1-2-1-2, 4-2-3-1).
looks like deans out.
4-1-2-1-2 has done the business for me since day 0. Kanta as Anchor (and captain, somehow), Brown and someone else in MC, Griff played Trequartista behind Heskey (Target Man) and Ryu (ADF, I think).
might force the issue of it a bit more. what style (attacking/control/fluid/rigid) and shouts do you roll with?
Control/Very Fluid/Short Passing/Patient Build Up/Very Expressive or something like that for the team instructions you select in the tactic creation
Work ball into box, Retain Possession, Look for Overlap, Harrass Opponents, Stay on Feet and one more that I can't think of... but I know I have 6 total in my standard shout.
Finished work, other one is "Play Out of Defence"
