Hello everyone, sorry for not posting about my Liverpool story, I am now unable to post about it any more. That is because I don't have the time, because of my involvement over at www.footballmanagerstory.com/ You can of course, follow my Oldham story there, but you may also want to join in Johnny Karp's World Cup Contest, at the same site. Go to the site for more details, but basically the

Hello everyone, first of all I'd like to apologise for the delay. Once again I've been really busy, I will try to get posts up quicker in the future, but there may be delays in the future, I hope not though. Anyway, on with the story, after the European Super Cup win we had to continue our good start to the season, here are the results: We have had a very good start, we are unbeaten, and have

Hello everyone, sorry for the delay, I have been very busy recently. However, I now have time to write this post, so welcome back! After my exploits with England at the World Cup it was back to Liverpool for pre season, I immediately turned my attention to transfers. Only two players left the club for money in the summer, they were Alberto Aquilani, who didn't get many starts and is getting on a

Hello everyone, after another good season with Liverpool, I had a huge challenge ahead of me, my first World Cup as England manager! We were drawn in a group alongside Switzerland, Ecuador and Iran. I was confident of our chances. Here is the squad I took to Brazil: I was confident going into the tournament, I felt that we had a strong squad with a good mix of experience and youth, I was hoping

 Hello everyone, welcome back! After wrapping up the league title in April, we now had a chance to rest some players ahead of the FA Cup Final against Man City, and the Champions League Final against Real Madrid. Victory in both would secure a historic quadruple, I really wanted that to happen. First we had three league games to play, and here are the results: We absolutely hammered

Hello everyone, welcome back! At the end of March we were nearing another league title, we were also through to the Champions League Quarter Finals, we were to face Genoa. We had a crazy schedule coming up, we had ten games to play, including three in six days! It would surely test our fitness, I was expeceting a few tired players by the end of the month. Here are our results then: You can see

Hello fellow FM gamers, it's time for an udpate on my Liverpool story! The biggest match of March was the game against Barcelona, we also had a trip to arch rivals Everton. I appreciate that most of you may have already read this post at http://www.footballmanagerstory.com/ , so I won't go into huge detail about this month.   Here are the results for March at a glance.The Everton game was won by

Hello Readers, over the last few weeks in FM, there has been a high and a low, almost at the same time. I will start with the high.We have won the league again! Just take a look at the league table, it shows how clearly we were the best team this season. The league was wrapped up as early as the 24th March, with 6 games left. I am really glad of this as we had important matches coming up, so I

Hello readers, sorry for the slightly longer than usual delay with the posting. However today is the day for this post, and I am pleased to say we have gone more games unbeaten. Take a look at our latest results. We got a good draw against Arsenal, which means we are all but guaranteed the title. I am saying this because look how many points clear we are. A whopping 12 points, with only 8 games

Hello Readers. I am pleased to say that our good form is continuing. Have a look at the league table. We sit a comfortable 9 points clear, which is mainly due to Arsenal's poor form of late. We are playing Arsenal next, and if we win we will be 12 points clear and the title would almost be ours. Here are the latest set of fixtures from the beginning of December to the end of January. We only lost

Hello Readers, Happy New Year! Welcome to my first post of the year. This one is about the tactics I use with Liverpool on my FM 2010 game. I have two sets of tactics: Attacking tactics, that are used when I play weaker opposition and more defensive tactics, which are used against teams of equal or greater ability. Below is the attacking tactics that I use in most Premier League matches. The

Hello Readers! 4 months of the season have now been played, and you can see the latest results below. It has been a good couple of months for us, going unbeaten throughout that period. Especially good were the 4-0 victory away at Man Utd, when we played fantastically, and the 3-0 win over Atletico, also away. It seems we are playing slightly better away from home, as we also beat Macabi Haifa 5-1

Today's post is just a short one about my first two games as England manager. They were games I expected to win, and would have been disappointed if we hadn't won them. Below are the screenshot for the Azerbaijan game. As you can see we won 4-1 with a great performance from Gerrard, in particular, as well as Rooney, Walcott, Crouch and Lampard.Here are the match stats for that game. We had an

Hi, hope you all had a good Christmas. Two months of the third season have now been played, and I would like to fill you in on my latest results, which you can see on the screenshot below. Overall it's been a good start to the season, with only two defeats, although these defeats were very disappointing, especially the one at Fulham. We played terribly at Fulham, but we played much better against

I have finished all my transfers for the 3rd season. As I said in a previous post, I was given a mega $101m to spend. As you can see from the screenshot below I spent more than that, but I sold alot of players as well. The major departures of course, were Angel Di Maria, Martin Skrtel and Dirk Kuyt. Although all these players were important last season, but were all sold due to very good offer

It's time for the next post about FM wonderkids after two seasons. This portion of wonderkids are the strikers, a position I think is the strongest for wonderkids in FM. Above are Alberto Paloschi's attributes. As you can see he has great pace and has decent technical attributes.Nathan Delfouneso is a very promising player on FM. He is very quick, quite skillful and I am sure his finishing will

It's time for the next post about FM Wonderkids after two seasons. In this post I have got screenshots of wonderkids for every midfield position. Above is Toni Kroos as you can see he is still at Bayern. He has only average physical attributes which is his major drawback. He is technically very good and is a very creative player.Above are Deigo Buonanotte's stats. He is very quick and skillful

In the last post I said that Liverpool were in the FA Cup final against Arsenal. To my great pleasure we managed to win the match, although it was hardly a classic. Not much had happened until Torres ran through and scored in the 60th minute. I then set the mentality from attacking to standard and Arsenal didn't create any real chances and the match just petered out. I didn't mind though as it

Here is a list of wonderkids in FM 2010, starting with GKs and DEFs. This is them after two seasons on FM. Obvisouly, their attributes will vary on your game, but hopefully you will find this interesting. I will add in more positions soon. Above is Davide Santon. I would say he has potential to be one of the best DR's in the game. Of course he has drawback of high price but I would recommend

It is with great pleasure that I can announce that Liverpool have won the Premier Division. Here are all the results dating back to the end of January. The 4-1 win at Chelsea was paticulary pleasing, with the team producing a great performance away from home. The last win, against Newcastle confirmed us as champions, and it was a very happy day for the Liverpool fans. Unfortnatley we were dumped

I would like to fill you in about signings that have been made so far in my FM story. In the first season I signed Andre-Pierre Gignac. He cost $10.75m and in the first season scored 16 goals in 26 games before getting injured.Another signing in Jan 2010 was Angel Di Maria to give me more options out wide. He now has good attributes of Dribbling-17, Crossing-17, Pace-16, accelaration-17 and has
