FOOTBALL Football Manager Discussion
- Thread starter Chris.

Tried that yesterday but the options weren't available. Will definitely go do that again.
Just remembered, he's actually learning to avoid using his weaker foot right now. Forgotten that I asked him to do that.

And set Long Shots to rarely in your tactics if you aren't already 
And set Long Shots to rarely in your tactics if you aren't already
The sole reason why I do not set the 'Long Shots' instructions to rarely on my players is because you never know when one of those shots will end up at the back of the net.
For Baggio, guess I'll try doing that.

Don't you just hate that. Like I only lost 3-0 to Real Madrid with Blackpool away from home and the game crashed and I haven't played it since
I've actually got my prelim exams in a couple of weeks so I'm really busy studying so not really playing any of my normal saves so made an American Samoa save with the domestic teams, renamed Pago Youth A to Pago Pago and took control of them and pretty much, I just holiday the season, play the Championship playoff, make my transfers and then holiday the season again. Although I probably made prize money too high at 25M for first place I've barely spent anything in wages and in 2020, I have 181M pounds in the bank.
It's been a slow improvement, American Samoa finally became the second best nation in Oceania in time for the WCQ (ranked 133, dropped from 112th in the last 3 months) as the South American's that I'm managing to sign gain American Samoan citizenship and started playing. I've won the FFAS Senior League every year except the first 2 seasons where I came 6th/10th in the first season (Fagasa Youth champions, Tafuna Jets runner up, Pago Youth B third) and then came 3rd in my second season (Pansa champions, Pago Youth B runner up) before we took the competition by storm and have won every year since. Pansa were runner up from 2013-2015 with Fagasa Youth coming third a couple of times and Ilaoa & Toomata once. Black Roses with all their Argentinian signings following the appointment of an Argentinian assistant manager managed to come runner up 3 years in a row (2016-2018) while Pago Youth B, GBFC and FC SKBC came third in those years and in my last season, GBFC came runner up with Tafuna Jets in third. Although it is in March this season and I've all but secured a playoff spot (championship playoff) considering I am currently on 53 points after 21 games and not one second place team has managed that in the leagues history (highest 52). Black Roses is in second with FC SKBC 3 points behind.
It took to 2014/15 before we finally got into the O-League (don't know why we weren't in the start, but American Samoa were the hosts) where we just managed to top our group with 13 points but ahead on GD to Ba. We then went down 4-1 on aggregate in the final against Auckland City. 2016/17 was our next appearance in the O-League where we were placed in the group of Auckland City and Waitakere United, and we finished 2nd in our group, losing both times to Auckland City and once to Waitakere United, beating Titavi twice. A couple of years later and we were in again where we came runners up for the second time, winning all 6 group games, not conceding a single goal before being dominated 7-0 on aggregate in the final against Auckland City. For the first time, we were in the O-League in consecutive seasons and we had currently won all our games in the tough group with Auckland City, a Brett Murphy double giving us a 3-1 home win over Auckland City.
It came down to the final game away to Auckland City, with a win or draw to get us through otherwise they would make the final. I took control of the match, set my starting formation to a 4-1-3-2 with an anchor man, tactics set to contain, rigid, and really I was trying to hold on for a draw. My striker got injured in the 13th minute, as I brought on Brett Murphy, before my left winger, Carlos Aiello got injured 5 minutes later forcing me to bring no my other Argentinian left winger We somehow managed to hold on until half-time and with about 15 minutes to go, I took off one of my strikers to bring on another defensive midfielder. We somehow ended up managing to hold on for a 0-0 draw putting us into the final of the O-League and it should be an easy win against Ba who haven't made the O-League final since 2011. I'm just wondering how we will go in the Club World Championship. Hopefully we can manage to put up a good fight in our playoff and even make the quarter finals if lucky.

Yeah ESPECIALLY when you have just won a match by big margin! I probably wouldn't bother too much if it was a narrow margin or I have lost the match when the game crashed.

Nah, it did that when I beat Everton 1-0 and then I lost 1-0 or something (go check my story ) but I was too annoyed to even be bothered caring about it.

Yeah, that's happened a couple of times but I don't complain then
Played Man United at Old Trafford in the Carling Cup. The game ended 0-0 after 120 minutes, so time for penalty shoot-out! And then this happens:
The penalty shoot-out was happening but the match was still going on. It only lasted for a few seconds though as it then showed the shoot-out when United is taking their second.
Also, this.
They got two penalties but both were saved by my goalkeeper. Couldn't really believe their failure and my luck.

Oh yeah, finally got around to replaying that Real Madrid game with Blackpool. If you remember, I was 2-0 up in the first match and drew 2-2, as they scored in the 88th minute, well this time I was up 2-0 and then drew 2-2 again as they scored in the 89th minute 
oh well, better than the 3-0 loss I suffered before the game crashed

He's a bit of a strange-one then. I've had a few players who don't have outrageously good stats but they manage to score bagfuls.
Me & my mate have started a network game with updated transfers etc. I've gone Fiorentina & he's at oil-rich PSG. We both have 17 year-old versions of ourselves in our youth/reserve team just to see how we'll develop. I've been dubbed the next Lampard, while his alter-ego is set to mirror Cavani.
Shall update accordingly.
