Football Manager 2012 Thread 2

[Dark Traveller]

I've got a fantastic squad at the moment, all down to a few of my best signings.

Karim Benzema
2014/15played 50 games with 42 goals
2015/16 so far (up to Feb) has played 33 games with 41 goals in all competitions

Marc-Andre ter Stegen is my number one goalkeeper
2014/15 played 51 games conceded 24 goals
2015/16 (up to Feb) played 29 games conceded 6

Have a very strong first team so decided to clear out some of fringe players in 2016 January transfer window

Out
Sessegnon, Liddle, Bardsley, Woodgate, Craig Gardner, Ba and Colback

In
Sergio Ramos (needed a stronger right back)
Mario Gotze (needed a stronger left midfield forward)

Ramos has fitted in really well with Nacho, Thiago Silva and Schmelzer, so now have probably the strongest defence in the prem.

Decided to get rid of Sessegnon, for some reason he was unsettling Benzema which the Board commented on

Cheers. I just found it stupid how you dont represent anyone. There's no confidence levels in the job or anything and you can't interact with the players.
I also picked Rooney and he was suspended for the whole tournament.

Second season with Bilbao over and done with. We once again finished 2nd in the league behind Barcelona, who won their last 15 games to finish well above us. We reached the last 16 of the Champions League before being knocked out by Inter after extra time and our first piece of silverware came in the Spanish Cup, beating Barca 1-0 in the final.

Final league table:



And another look at a wonderful season for Toquero. Still can't get in the Spain squad mind, and he didn't even make the top three players of the season despite scoring over 50 goals in the league.

Just had this ridiculous result to kick off the season. For some reason my players had no match fitness so I'm gonna give me assistant a bollocking (as he sorts out the friendlies).



I was gonna go mental if we threw that away. The defence is gonna have to tighten up for the next game against Chelsea.

Can never seem to kick on with the lads so gonna start a new game,

Fancy a challenge, any suggestions? Give us a list of teams and I'll choose one.
