How I play Football Manager

Well we’re all play Football Manager a different way with things, it could be as simple as different options like Pounds instead of Dollars or auto save turned off but we all have our own unique way of playing the game.
Well in the following piece of text, I’m just going to jot down how I play the game, hopefully people will discuss what they do in their game and why they do it, so we can all get a picture of the way people enjoy their time on Football Manager.
To begin with and to get the ball rolling, I’ll explain what I do in regards to players, the core nucleus of any club. Well first off I try not to sign the same player again, I like to sign loads of different players from anywhere so I can get more knowledge about some seventeen year old from Ghana.
I try to sign realistic players, I know Wayne Rooney may be on the transfer list and he may come to me but I won’t buy him, it wouldn’t happen in real life and neither is it going to happen in my game of the “world’s most realistic football manager simulation.”
I do the above as we all know the players you can sign for ten pence and turn out world beaters, I can do that on every game but it makes it boring, repetitive, you’ve got to spice things up a bit just like life, when you do the same thing over and over it’s tedious.
Now’ve been through players, I’ll more on to my pet hate, tactics, yes I appreciate all the work that goes in to making them but I categorically do not download tactics, tried it once won the league with Newcastle with a poor squad and all my main players injured.
I prefer to be more independent, play around with my team, find what works and then get results, it is far more enjoyable and rewarding as you’ve put the work in not some other sod and now you’re getting the results not the person who created the tactic.
Team talks, I just let my assistant manager take care of them, they become boring after five minutes, yeah well played Dean Ashton for the forty fifth time etc, gets repetitive just like signing the same players.
My number one goal when I’m in a league is of course to progress but I usually take over teams that are struggling not much money in the bank and try to rejuvenate them from the worse in the league to a team that can stand on it’s on two feet in a footballing sense but also financially.
I do this by selling all my youngsters with high sell on clauses get rid of high wage players and replacing them with knock off Nigel’s on the transfer list or out of contract.
Well that’s a enough on the actually game but I hate playing with really graphically pleasing work, otherwise I spend far too long looking at the beautifully created skins and kits and less time playing which is of course what you don’t want.
Well that enough, I only wanted to write a short piece, I’ve probably wrote a bit too much but thanks for reading.
