@FredBassett: Try the demo - http://www.footballmanager.com/demo gives you half a season, can see if it's for you. In the event it is, your save carries over if you get the game.

I might just do that you know, thanks. I'll play it on the flight back from London on Monday and see how I feel.

I didn't ge anyone in January

Valencia rejected £50M for Mata and Granero didn't want to join me on loan

But anyway this meant that a young Hazard got his first meaningful start. He put in his best performance for me so far (tbh his only good one compared to short sub appearances) and I went crazy when he got an injury time winner

How do you guys get round constantly playing midweek and on the weekend? My players if they play 90 mins of one, then most of them will only be around 93% fit for the next. I don't like to do that so most of the time I bench them

CSTP - #10000 (U1453)

I usually have 30 players or so in my squad so I play one team in midweek and another team on the weekend.

Yeah I usually do something like that

Except my back-up team ain't as good as my first XI so still like to keep some good players playing consecutively

Works well with Drogba/Dzeko tho. Both have been really good this season and I alternate every game

Just lost a first leg of the last 16 2-0 to Bayern. Plus Drogba got a second yellow for diving in injury time meaning that my plans of going with both up top for the second leg are ruined

Hopefully I'll still be able to keep my job lol, the aim was to reach the final...

Well sometimes what I do is instead of playing a full strength team I mix the back-up and the better players so that both squads have a decent mix.

If Bayern still play that 4-2-3-1 formation you can play 4-4-2 and you should be able to overturn that, you can promote either Lukaku or Babacar and play them as a poacher while Dzeko is the target man....hope that works.

They usually go 442

I think I'll do that too.

Babacar has just come back from an injury and hasn't played for the reserves

Lukaku and Dzeko will probably be the way to go tho as you said

Went 2-0 up in the CC final

They got back to 2-2

Won on penalties despite not having any of my top 5 penalty takers on the pitch

Who did you play?

Umm I started with a diamond

Cech
Srna Carvalho Terry Zhirkov
Essien
Sissoko Lampard
Kroos
Drogba Dzeko

Everyone got a 6.9, apart from Dzeko who got a 9. Oh and Zhirkov got a second yellow on 84, so had to shift things round a bit

The big test is the second leg v Bayern tho...

I really hope Cole will have recovered from injury by then

I want Zhirkov on the left wing

And I've just drawn Liverpool in the semi final of the FA Cup

comment by CSTP (U1453)

I won 3-1 but lost on away goals

I have to say tho I'm surprised how well the team played. We dominated against a very good side

Might try the 'all-out attack' tactics more often
