Football manager 2014

i dont bother with the youth. Maybe i should. I just look for expired contracts and loan players to add the the players that i have. I sell all the shit or fuck them off on loan. Works well until you get into the championship... but ive only managed to do that with solihull. Hopefully i can get hereford there and they will be stronger.
 
Its all about the youth! I've become Lambert-esque and dont buy players over 22/23. Always works wonders. On a previous game I won everything with Forest Green.
 
i'll have a look when i get home and see what my youth is like. How do you imptove them? by putting them into training and playing them?

what do you play it on?

A good challenge is the youth challenge where you can only use your youth players signing new guys is forbidden...

Iv never actually done this but I hear its a great challenge...

Another good one is San Marino where you manage the club and national side... You have to build a top youth side inorder to get a better national side...


I use to manage lower league teams (never below L2) but Iv done it enough times I look for newer challenges like the Cordoba one I did... Trying to win the Champions Lge with an Irish team is an interesting... You'd be hard pressed to find a team good enough for the Championship but you have a good chance of Europe every season...
 
How can you tell if youth players are Prem class? I'm still a beginner on the mobile game. Is there an atirubute which shows how good they are and what level they could play at?

Just about to finish my 1st season with Kiddy.

I'm currently 4th in the Conference, with 4 games to go. Can't get automatic promotion anymore but playoff place is pretty much secured. 6 points clear of 6th place.

Also in the final of the JPT.

Will hope to complete the season on my next poo break. lol
 
LET US KNOW HOW YOU GET ON... HOPEFULLY YOU WILL WIN THE PLAY OFFS AND WIN THE CUP!

sorry for the caps, just realised lol.

no idea about youth mate... i dont use them :) i just used loans and expired contracts. And the little money that they give me for transfers.
 
use the scouts to get reports and compare the ratings of players. On the player search menu, sort all the players by age so that the youngest is first and search through the players. You will find some unbelieveable bargains.

i'll take note of your advice and the next time i have the ipad out i will have a look :35: nice one :35:
 
I play quite a lot on the PSP version and this works wonders. When you get the prem you rely on this less as you can buy the best youth from around the world. Also the tactics are very important.

I play 4-3-3 attacking.

In defense obviously play Rb 2Cbs Lb

For the 3 man midfield I play CM/DM AM CM/DM

And up front play 2 quick pacy strikers either side of a target man.

Passing - direct

Pressing

Tackling - firm.

Marking - zonal

don't play counter attacking football.
 
Won the FA Trophy, beating Bishops Stortford in the final 3-0.

Just about to play Barnet in the Play Off final after overturning a 1-0 1st leg deficit against Gateshead in the semi's to win 3-1 on aggregate.

Wish me luck.

 
Get in! Last minute winner to win the play off final 2-1.

Not a bad first season. Promotion and a cup win.
 
im playing with shrewsbury, but not the latest version, havent played for ages but I'm top six and heading for the playoffs

i dont think im good enough to do those challenges mate!!

I get so deep into the game its why I havnt played in a good while Im afraid Ill waste all my time on it...
It was all well and good in college I had loads of time now I just dont want to waste the hours like I use to...

Anyway it could be a good learning curve for you? You should be pretty good considering you play the lower leagues so much...
 
30 games into my second season in the skrill prem ( we all can't be as good as Delano and get promoted in the first season lol) and I'm 6 points clear at the top of the league.
 
2nd season with Kiddy.

Having won promotion and the FA Trophy in my first season, I now sit in 5th place in League 2. Got off to an unbelievable start, considering I was favourites for the drop I won my first 5 games, but had a xmas slump which has knocked me back a bit.

It's now February so need to get back to winning ways to ensure I'm in the mix for back to back promotions.
 
I've not played for a while and I'm the same as my last post.... Might give it an hour (or two) later :35:
