FM 13

[Pedrito]

I'm still resisting the urge.

Anyone here already got it? Impressions?

I bet Viking is in the middle of 2018-19 season already.

Bought it, started out unemployed and got first job with second division Portuguese Club, just in first season pre-season training and trying to find gems to sign

[Viking]

Haven't got it yet. I might actually skip this one, the improvements are for the most part polish in areas that I Don't think are lacking in 12. Also my graphics cards are sufficiently crappy that the improvements in the 3d engine won't benefit me much.

I'm leaning toward waiting until its $7 on a Steam sale on some such.

Me too.  Or until I get the shakes.

[Josephus]

I normally skip a year. I bought FM12 so I think I'll wait...unless I'll find it cheap enough early next year.

I might get it during the steam winter sale. The mode where you don't have to do all the bullshit appeals to me.

ANDY CARROL WILL BE A STARTER.

ANDY CARROL WILL BE A STARTER.

Play him as Target man with rigid instructions with wingers with good crossing skills who cross from the line aiming for the head. Play him with a poacher with good positioning, off the ball composure and finishing to pick up Andy's leavings.

If you are really motivated you might want to retrain him as a right winger, set him as inside forward and target man, then have (in the best liverpool tradition a good norwegian left back like Riise or Bjørnebye) who the goalkeeper distributes to and is instructed to cross from deep to head. The move from goalkeeper to left back to right winger (carroll) who heads it into the box was the basis of the Norwegian national team for most of the 90s. It's a good way to ignore the midfield and is especially useful if the oppo midfield is composed of skilled and short players.

[Ed Anger]

That sounds like work.

[FunkMonk]

I can't imagine Ed playing football manager game.

I'll play Liverpool!

Day 1: Carroll becomes whiny. Gerrard steals your hubcaps
Day 2:  Suarez dives. Repeatedly.
Day 3: Manchester United crush your nuts.
Day 4: create player: the Limper

You can rename players too. I can see Otto Skorzeny waiting to be subbed in in the 75' minute.

I'm thinking confederates.
