Right mate, first things first, go to your backroom advice meetings regularly BUT don't always take their advice. Once you've done that sort out your captain, look who has the highest influence in the player stats (Prabably is Greer but double check).

agree with this, i've found this is overly important. When i reached the prem with Brighton Greers stats simply werent good enough, but i didnt want to take the captaincy away as he is a popular player in the dressing room. I found that when i played him ahead of a better player stat wise, we'd win more often simply because hes the captain of the club and his influence drives the other players on. Greer has since retired for me now and Jordan Spence is captain with an influence of 20. He plays almost every game, but you notice a real difference in performance when hes not there.

If anyone is up for an online league let me know, if the host has a decent internet speed then it goes pretty quick. We would have to use hamachi as i dont know how to port forward.

It will be a good laugh.

If anybody wants an update i'm currently using the one on the link below

Brighton have just sacked Poyet in my game, 13th in league 1.

So far from current reality.

 

[The Ringleader Returns!]

My Brighton team just scored their 100th goal of the league campaign.


Only one of my players has scored more than 10 goals! Although, that is Leigh Griffiths who has scored 39 in the league.

After winning everything there was to win with Brighton I'm currently playing a career game. The idea is to find the pissiest, shittiest little team in the game and build my way up to being manager of Real or Barca. Started off with CF Andorinha in the bowels of the Portuguese league (stadium capacity 400 ). Left Andorinha 15 points clear at the top of their league in February to join Feralpi Salo in Italy Serie C2A (stadium size 1550) who were rock bottom of the league. With 6 games to go I have them mid-table and 8 points behind the final play-off place. I'm hoping I can scrape in there if the other results go my way.

How on earth do you do that!

How on earth do you do that!

I'd like to say it's down to me being a tactical genius but that would be a lie. I found this tactic on the sports interactive website:

Gamefront

(put the tac file in your tactics folder).

Use this but you need to find the right players to fit which with Brighton essentially means selling the entire team with the possible exception of Greer and Bridcutt. I love it because it uses the fullbacks as deep wingers which frees you up to swamp the midfield and have 3 strikers. Stamina is the most important attribute for the full backs and the DMC. Make sure your best header of the ball is the right centre back and just use common sense for the other positions.

It's tantamount to cheating if you get the right players/training/coaches/team talks all in harmony with this tactic.

im having second season syndrome on my game, i won promotion to the championship through the play-offs, but struggling in the championship - any ideas?

 

[Braders]

right , thus far wonderkids I have found for free who are willing to join Brighton are few and far between

second season however I was offered Josh Lambo , a goalkeeper who has done fantastically for me

 

[The Ringleader Returns!]

Finished 2nd in my first season on 99 points.
Finished 3rd in my second season, on 95 points. Won the play-offs.
Currently sitting in 14th in the prem after 12 games.

Current team.

 

[Sam Ovett]

Diego Camacho is a decent free signing

And Jay Emmanuel Thomas on loan from Arsenal: 9 goals from 6 games so far

 

[Scoffers]

Just started a new game with Lewes and managed to lose 2-1 to my own reserves. God I'm crap at this game

 

[Falkor]

Im awful at this but would really like to play some of you lads online

 

[fruitnveg]

I've struggled to get into this year's version. Tactics have been a major issue. My defense is always solid and my teams can maintain decent possession, but I can't make them score for toffee

 

[WhingForPresident]

In my third season at Reading at the moment. Got a sick line-up of:

Alex Smithies
Johnathan Grounds
David Rozenhal
Anthony Gerrard/Michael Jansen
Carlos Diogo/Lee Peltier
Jobi McAnuff/Hal Robson-Kanu
Jermaine Jenas
Mark Randall/John Bostock (Loan)
Gary Taylor-Fletcher
Shane Long
Kelvin Etuhu/Matty Fryatt
Sitting pretty on top of the table after 10 games, Won 8, Drawn 1, Lost 1

Club just got taken over by David James.. As in, Bristol City keeper David James.. Is that normal?!

 

[Frutos]

A good loan signing at the start is John Guidetti, an 18-year-old Swedish striker from Man City. He will come to League One clubs, and will score you plenty.

I have him as an up and coming in my FM10 game so glad to see he is likely to be a decent prospect

 

[Conkers]

Im in the year 2022 now. 3rd time in the Premiership with Brighton and heading towards the end of the season (having got promoted last year). Finally been able to invest in decent players and am fighting Sunderland and Everton for 7th place.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Well I went back tot eh Albion with a newe tactic - 4-3-3 and ignored the fact that this version is supposed to be better for wingers and played throught he middle. Fiest season wrapped up league 1 after 37 games, scoring over 100 goals (do everythign you can to get Vlad Yurchenko... work permit is allowed 10% of the time). Season 2 joint op after 21 games UNBEATEN with Birmingham... 3rd team 11 points behind.

SQUAD -

Lewis / Heaton
Spence (on loan both seasons)/ Lamotte /Hronec
Greer/Yadolahi
BJ Burns / Hernani (Elphick out for twelve months, Dunk still here and Reece Wabara shows promise)
Lecjaks/Painter/Spurr

Leke(generated)/Bridcutt/Monroy
Dicker/ Caskey/Kasım
Woods/Horava/Sparrow

and the most amazing golascoring forward line any 3 from:

Hoskins/Buckley/Noone/Yurchenko/Soukoune/Medina/Agdestien/Cherif/(Jamil) Adam

Cant believe how succesful this is... and I have been constantly tinkering
