3rd (73 pts)
4th (69 pts)
4th (70 pts)
2nd (80 pts)
2nd (91 pts)

 

[CELTICRORY]

I've built a city team for the future, won the league in my first season through some utterly bizarre luck.

5 fixtures to go, I was 4th, Spurs 3rd, Arsenal 2nd and United 1st, I lost my next 2 games and was struggling to stay in the top 4 and somehow, I ended up 1st with Spurs 2nd

Balotelli and Mexes just got sent off for having a scrap in the middle of the pitch, I fine Balotelli, he demands to leave the club. He's a **** in this game aswell.

How did you get the real team crests?

 

[Jackson-ctid]

ehh, got them from my fm10 folder, just carried them over and they all work great. Just have a look on places like sortitoutsi.net and fm-base for badge packs and kit packs.

My mates hosting a network game and last night I picked up a bit of form with Fulham by beating Blackpool, Villa and Arsenal however my mate lost to Newcastle, Wigan and Brum as West Brom - after his Brum match the game mysteriously crashed, dirty deeds a foot me thinks!!

 

[AIQ88]

Heh won the FA Cup and Premiership double on my first season. Bought Chiellini and Fabregas in the first window and Mata and Hamsik in the second as I got given extra money for some reason. The board did the first 2 deals for me. Fabregas was like 105 mil and Chillini nearly 50.

Second season is about to start and I have bought Agüero and Jesús Navas.

I basically just need to buy some world class full backs next season(they just dont give me enough to spend!) and I dont think there would be a team that could match me on paper maybe except for Barça.

 

[niall_mcfc]

In my 2nd season i won the Prem and Champs League. Won league by 8 points scoring 119 goals and finished with a goal difference of 86. I won the CL beating Real in the final 3-1. My team is:
Hart Gk
Richards Rb
Kompany Cb
Boyata Cb
Zabaleta Lb
De Jong Dm
Pastore Amc
Messi Str
Cavani/Dzeko Stc
Tevez/Pato Stc
Balotelli/Bale Stl

Back up players are Amelia, Wabara, Santon, Moussa Sissoko, Weiss, AJ, Hazard and then a few youngsters. Going to bring in a centre back and a full back because i sold Gonzalo and Luisao but didnt replace them because i sent all my youngsters out on loan. I made Wabara better with the editor because hes come on leaps and bounds recently and wanted some players to come through the youth team

Heh cheater! But yeah Boyata improves a lot if you keep playing him. I think he might be one of the CBs with the highest potential in the game.

I wanted him in the 2nd season so declared an interest but he didnt wna come so i didnt bother making a bid. But after i won the champs league i thought id go in for him so i declared interest again and he said he would be tempted. 1st offer i made was £80m but that was rejected and i eventually got him for £130m. I asked the board but they said no so had to buy him myself so i got rid of Matt Jarvis for £15m to Arsenal and sold a few squad players to release the wages. Edited the budgets so i had £0 to spend and loads of wages, once he accepted i just adjusted budgets again and had £140m to spend.

Id go all out for him. I just wanted to sign him because id never signed him before on 11 and wanted to see what he was like in the prem and hes class. Scored in every game apart from 1 so far and that was because he was on the bench and didnt come on til the 70th min.

And as for the above poster who said i cheated ive seen people do a lot worse than make a reserve team player a bit better. Im in my 3rd season and Wabara is only worth £3m so hes not that great.<br /><br />-- Wed Mar 23, 2011 4:50 pm --<br /><br />

How did you get the real team crests?

Go to fm-base and there are all types of add ons for the game.

1st you need to have winrar to extact the files when downloaded, you can this for free.

The go to my documents>sportsinteractive>fm11> and create a folder called graphics.

Download all the add ons you want and then place them in this folder.

Open fm11 and they will all be there. If you download something whilst running fm then you need to go into options and then display and sound and tick the box always reload skin and untick the skin cache box. they are right next to each other.

 

[hertsblue]

Started with Sheff Wed
Told the board i can get promotion so they gave me a tranfer fund of NIL lol.

Did some loan deals, got abit of qaulity in.

Won Promotion and also won the league by about 5 points. Got to the FA cup quarter finals (some favorable draws tbh) till i got Bolton away. Lost 2-1 and my fans were unhappy with me WTF.

Started 2nd season, told board i can get mid table and given a little money to spend. Sold best striker (Tugay i think) as always moaning and got 700k for him which i have re-invested in 3-4 areas. More loan deals.

Played 10 games so far and sitting 5th in Div 1
