for years I've been so anti a league saves as its basically impossible to do anything serious of note or any fun, I usually go a Belgian, Norway, lower level German or Spanish team or do the non league dream
after probably 2 editions I've finally given the jerk one a go again
Season 1
awful, ****ing awful. I tried utilising kokko and nordstand in a target man, false 9 arrangement and the pair were hopeless together, any fixture where they were injured or suspended (kokko loves a heavy tackle) nabbout/vujica are so badly rated so basically had no left side I also play with no transfers on first window so couldn't fix it.
managed to limp to January with only 2 wins and a ffa cup qf where I got jammed by glory 4-0 then made the executive decision to cut some ties. I sold kokko for 200k to Sweden, brought in Mitch Austin (on a free after victory let him go to keep beister) and LB youth from Palermo on loan to fix my left side, brought in vidosic as my guest player. immediately changed the formation to a 4-4-1-1 with vidosic and nordstand together and bang the goals and results came. still finished 9th as I was so far down.
Second Season
FFA Cup champions with all games against A League opposition. brought in basically all victories rejects as squad players (Ingham, mahazi,) got Alex cisak in as a much reliable GK, kept vidosic, & signed a Brazilian (Thomas) as my number 9 (false 9)
changed my formation to a 4-3-3 with the false 9 (so basically striker less) went too a fluid counter attacking approach and killed teams on the break with vidosic clut, Steve ug feeding my front 3 quickly.
finished 3rd on GD unfortunately knocked out by MV in prelim final.
Starting 3rd season now and just been offered interview by Tianjin Teda
did the interview but jeez I'm confident about my jerks team, I've signed Scott McDonald, Rhys Williams, Adam Federici, Jack Hingert all on normal wages and Bernie ibini as my guest player and a young English talent by the name of Ryan Yates.
might save it if I get the Tianjin job and come back at a later date.
certainly enjoyed the jerks much more then any other fm editions, feel as though its much more off a challenge.
