14,5 mio for Ter Stegen? Even though he seems worth it, I guess I should not even bother trying to sign him for now, and fully focus on getting a new right sided winger instead (from Leverkusen; Augusto and Sam look like they will do amazing). There's also a cheap winger I could get which looks good. Besides signing a new winger, and sell one I have now, I will change little.

Honda looks nice, makes me wanting him, but I don't need him, and Guarin's long shot and free-kick taking attributes are awesomely high anyway. Besides Guarin, I also got Moutinho and Defour. Shame one of these three is likely going to see the bench, since I expect Fernando to be my defensive midfielder. I'm likely going to play 4-5-1 (wingers).

His more then worth if for that price.My defense now in the 5h season only leaked 9 GOALS all season long!!!

Aly-Greek guy i cant spell his name-Silva-Ramos
----------------Ter Stegen----------

Won back to back champions leagues.My midfield is now Nocerino-Modric-Hamsik with Eriksen tearing shit up in front of them.Strikers are Baloteli and Leonardo DAmiao(think thats how u spell his name,at work atm and cant post screen shots)

Im getting bored of Milan atm,gonna try a lower league team.

I think I will try having Ter Stegen joining my squad next Summer. Hélton is a good goalkeeper, and now I should focus on getting Augusto, since (I need to sell a winger, and need one who can cover both sides and) he can play both sides, and is good with both feet. Even though I like Sam's attributes a little bit more, but he can only play on the right wing, and has no right foot. James Rodriguez as starting left winger, Augusto as starting right winger and first backup for James, and Belluschi as first backup for right winger, looks nice. :)

Maybe I will play Moutinho in front of my defense instead of Fernando. Either way, one great first backup for my midfield I will have. Any of these four can get benched, it's up to them to prove themselves. Same goes for central defenders Otamendi, Rolando and Maicon. FC Porto seems like a nice team to have, but unfortunality I won't play the game today because of homework. :(

By the way; the Greek guy as in Schalke 04's Papadopoulos? I guess it's him, since Kyriakos seems to be a wonderkid in the game. I kinda want him too, but that have to wait also. There are too many players I want. :D

Yup its him,his amazing in the game,and cheap if you get him in season 2.How are wingers doing in Serie A?My x mas three totally pwns it.

But in Europe(usually against real)I have to play my full backs as wingers to help the midfield,otherwise i get overun on the flanks.(Ronaldo is a real pain in the ass)

With FM2011 I played with Real Madrid online against someone (who had Barça obviously), and Cristiano Ronaldo was a beast. Absolutely adorable, but he always choked against Barça. :mad:

So in season 2, eh? :D Nice! I guess we will wait one year for him. :)

Finished the first season with a scudetto win (95 points bittchhess:D) coppa italia and went out to lyon in the quarter finals of the CL who ended up winning it :eek:

The tevez transfer broke down in january because of the non eu spots, so I signed marvin martin instead and waited to sign tevez for the next season.

My transfers for the 2nd season

That was fun, yeah. I would like to play again, though it's harder to do so because of school. If anything, I would only try to play online with only one other person which has proven to be fun anyway. :thumbsup::D

Back to FC Porto: Renato Augusto asked for way too much wage. I signed Willian (Shakhtar) instead, for 9 mio. Also I signed Arason (36 years old) on free to be my third goalkeeper (1 year contract). I had only two goalkeepers (ignoring the youth, but the best one there is 16 years old). Cristian Rodríguez is on his way out to Betis; he had one year left on his contract and asked too much for an extension. He wouldn't have been a starter anyway; I like James Rodriguez more. :) Still have some money to spend. :D I will use that for a prospect who doesn't necessary has to join right now. Maybe try to secure Ter Stegen for next season. :D

man i love brazilian attacking midfielders... Willian, Douglas Costa, Alex Teixera, Alan Patrick (hot prospect) and possibly my favourite player in both FM11 and 12... :star:Jadson:star:

going to post a full recap of my season probably this weekend. bought andre ayew, tymoshuk and moussa sow. so far it's been excellent with no losses in the league, and scoring 4 goals per game. got a unbelievably easy cl group with porto, macabi haifa and some other team.

Its the most realistic manager so far... Its amazing how team talk can be useful to get your players fired up.. Half time team talks saved my ass few times. I'm too lazy to put screen shots but I'm somewhere in april and im in CL semis vs ManU and I've won Scudetto already. Made 2 buys only. Handanovic and Ganso. Trying to get Lahm and Gotze if I get enough money. Been using 4-1-2-2-1 and it works great for me. No defeats and 4 draws with it. Ibra is a beast, scored 43 goals. Just put him as an advanced forward and enjoy :D

In FM 2011 I used to have Tevez and he was absolutely a monster no less then 30 goals per season.

After like 6 seasons I had, C. Ronaldo, Messi, Tevez, Pastore, Tevez, and Pato as my attack. I will take screen shots when I can, it was a pretty beast team but it got boring cz I would never lose lol

Cassano plays great for me he is definitely one of my best players at AMC. Btw try this for your corner kicks, Put Nesta to attack near post and then cross the ball to the near post, also have either Taiwo or Thiago attack Far post, So far Nesta has 10 goals for me this season :thumbsup: and Taiwo has 5, all from corners

Nah Cassano played okay ...just that he is almost always poor in training .

Silva scored 10 goals for me ..Mexes 4 and Nesta 4 (two against Roma ,oddly enough )

but the game has lost its attraction ...
