red. Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I'm using a mixture of this tactic from last year and 4-1-3-2 on attacking or overload.

mattmatik Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I'm going to pick this up on Steam later today. I meant to get into 2009 when it came out but then my son was born and just put it off. This will be my first FM game, looking forward to it. Question: How does the opening game begin? Can you choose what club you want to manage or do you like to take control of lesser clubs to build them up? I'd like to start with Chelsea but am worried it will make the game feel too easy, leading to losing interest.

Dark_ph0enix Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I was meaning to post this, but forgot - for UK peeps, Steam are currently selling Football Manager, for ?20.99 (though, you can get it via Amazon, for ?16.49) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/951360-official-football-manager-2011/page/4/#findComment-593505122 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmatik Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Got from Steam today and started a new career taking on Chelsea. A bit overwhelmed, I must say. There is so much depth and information. Haven't made any decisions yet, just did my press conference and scheduled the friendly intra squad match. Rumors flying about me signing a new midfielder but not sure how that would go - I feel pretty good about that position. My plan is to get Sturridge up to form and axe Anelka...he's not one of my favorites :) Can you guys recommend some good sites/forums regarding newcomers to the series?

I signed Pato and Diego for free's in the summer of 2012 and they are beasts! Awesome, thanks Rappy! So, I have my Chelsea save, just went through the first friendly against my reserve squad. 6:1. I decided to do another save, this time going unemployed and going to look for a lower league - I think it will be more fun that way. Has anyone tried to take an offer as an assistant? Does it allow you to eventually work your way up to head coach?

Rappy Veteran Posted December 20, 2010 Veteran Share Posted December 20, 2010 no never tried that, I always go straight for West Ham because that alone is a challenge :rofl: that being said Pato bought this summer on a free was an epic buy! 8 goals in 3 games :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/951360-official-football-manager-2011/page/4/#findComment-593510912 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learnt very early on in the Championship Manager series, that this is the easiest way to kill off the fun of the game. The ups and downs of the management career are what REALLY make it the gripping game it is. My best victory to date still remains in FM09 Miguel Torres (RB) scoring the 123rd minute winner in the Champions League final against Real Madrid winning the cup for my very foreign West Ham side! :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/951360-official-football-manager-2011/page/4/#findComment-593510960 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valerus Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I feel that this is less of a Football Manager 2011 thread and more of an alternate-universe successful West Ham journey.
