19yo Victor Luiz on 2 year loan from Brazil is Jets new DL. He is 9-14 for every single attribute with his 9's being finishing, heading and composure with acc/pace both 14.... and the upside? Only £450 per week, below minimum wage. No marquee used and straight in as second best player in squad behind Kokko.

AML has to be DP... forgot Vido was in as DP.


Or AML could be Mabil on loan. So many young Aussies available on loan, most free. Jordan Holmes, Tom Beadling, Daniel Wong for nada, Mabil in for a hefty £1.7k.

Having not played FM, what's with the acronyms - do they have slightly weird names for positions?

Which ones? DP is just what the game calls marquee, uses the Designated Player.

AML is left attacking mid.

[StannyCFCJET]

Retre signed as back up, covers RB, DM, MC, AMC and AMR.

Hoff, Kanta, Nabbout, Jonny K, Duncan all gone.

Retre and Bray in.


Have 6 empty squad spots with Kokko as my only foreigner. Two DP's, an Asian player for ACL and 3 others on the list with AML and DL key spots to upgrade.

Arcaba is marginally better than Bray but Bray has more upside. Glover and Kurisak both went on loan before Aus window opened, so missed them

Who is Bray? Alistar Bray?

[Grimario]

Who is Bray? Alistar Bray?

Yup. Arcaba, Bray and Holmes (on loan) as S2 GK's.

DR - Hoole/Cowburn/Retre/Alessi
DC - Boogard/Jackson/Beadling/Cowburn/Alessi with O'Neill able to play there if desperate.
DL - Ruiz/Cowburn/Jackson/Retre
DMC - Ugar/Poljak/O'Neill/Retre
MC - Poljak/O'Neill/Ugar/Clut/Cowburn/Retre
AMR - Mabil/Mabil/Vido/Retre/Youth guy/Haliti
AMC - Vido/Clut/Haliti/Poljak
AML - Hopeful DP/Mabil/Haliti/Brymora
ST - Kokko/Wong/Haliti/Vido/Joice/Petratos/Brymora

Think I need to get Joice, Petratos, Brymora out on loan.

Christ... no wonder you are so shit with the Jets if that is the quality of player you attract
They're about the level of my 17yo youth winger - http://imgur.com/9CKrXdD

O'Neill miles better than your DM signing - http://imgur.com/AfiRhSn
Luiz miles better than your DL - http://imgur.com/UGyhP78
And Retre for good measure - http://imgur.com/hAOccsK

I think there pretty good and they bossed trials against some aleague teams and European teams so they earnt their contracts

[StannyCFCJET]

Hey Grim whats the longest you've stayed at the Jets in this game and does Mr Lee ever put in money to allow you to spend big by A league standards?

[Grimario]

One season because up until a patch or two ago, the A-League was busted. Clubs would sign someone on loan from Europe, that players full $20k per week would take the entire salary cap and you would end up with a European loan player and 8 NYL players in squads.

I kept having the same problem glad is been fixed (as far as I can tell so far)

[Grimario]

I will find out today...

[StannyCFCJET]

**** the jerks. Gonna start a Chelsea career and focus on our amazing youth players and academy

[Caspar]

I am actually a researcher for football manager (Australia - NPL divisions) so cool to see that there is a thread for it on here lol

[Grimario]

Stanny, just had this bloke come through my youth intake. Kind of solves my 3rd choice striker dilemma since I don't think Joice, Sawyer or Petratos are going to amount to anything.

FMD how??? Have you upgraded scouting or youth recruitment?

NFI mate. Club has no money to do any upgrades. I got 4 players that were 2 star or better with this guy being the bees knees. Everyone else was steaming pile of turd.

[StannyCFCJET]

FFS what season are you in? Sounds like Lee has given you no cash?

[Grimario]

Start of second season.

[StannyCFCJET]

Start of second season.

Is this the same save where you won the league beating City? 4-0??
