FLAWED FINANCES ?

team now has to be over its overdraft for a total of 3 days (cumulatively over the projection period) or have a projected cash at the end of the 28 days period that is over their overdraft in order for a veto to occur. This addresses the issue where a team momentarily exceeds the limit and the bank vetoes, which is overly harsh. (Taken from the forums)





So I'm 4 days into my retail game world & I'm currently -£188440k in debt Even though my overdraft limit is for 100k my projection gives me 600k+ profit in 28 days so the bank has allowed me to continually sign players on borrowed money you do get a warning asking you to lower this within 3 days by the bank but as yet i cant see any other form of punishment for being so reckless with my money

the daily mail you receive around midnight daily is slightly misleading as for the last couple of days it has said i am making an average daily profit of 28k.yet last night when i checked i made roughly 10k

wages £81.352k
Income £91.987k

so going off these figures there is no way i can lower my balance by the 90k needed within the 3 day limit If i did this in real life i would expect the bailiffs round demanding some money or goods to the value To me this opens up a way of sides in the early stages of a game world to sign either 1 big player for 180k or a few slightly cheaper ones like i have done, which again goes away from the vision that SI are giving out about the slowdown of sides pulling away at this early stage

To me this needs altering so that the limit you can go over your overdraft is your actual daily profit not a projected one But while this loophole is there my advice to everyone is grab players while you can just make sure your turning a profit,Because when the season begins you will soon get back into the black with the media & daily prize money you will receive via the federation you have joined

COMMUNITY

noticed a conversation in the help chat where a manager asked for advice ,received it from a moderator & then came up with a suggestion.He was asked to post his idea in the forums to see if it carried support from the larger fml community

His answer IM NOT BETA & so ended the conversation

for this game too truly suceed managers need to integrate whilst in game & help each other where possible & also post ideas on the fml forums http://community.sigames.com/index.php
S.I. take these ideas & if they will improve the game will endeavor to add them in future updates

Onwards & Upwards

After my inglorious start to the shearer game world i knew exactly what i need & fast a few senior players with influence & high rep & some basic tactic skills. Both of which take time to sort,I had bid on a few players during day 1 & was hoping no else bid so i got them at there required wage.unlucky for me but around 3 other managers spotted my bid on Thomas Gravesen (GRRR).so I'm not bidding blindly against 3 people i don't know & now i have no idea as to where to pitch my wage bid.bid made 22k for a player who's wage demand is 12k , Hope its enough as looking round the free agents still available theres no one left with his ability auction finishes at around 1 so will find out then whether i have snagged the 1st of what i hope become a series of signings

YES he's mine ,shame I'm paying a daily wage of £21,001 but he was needed so the other bids i have made go unopposed
My new signings

Thomas Gravesen MC £40k

Juan MC+AML £28k

Rodrigo Souto DM £45k

with my signings added to my squad I'm now hoping for an upturn in fortune after a few games my side settles & the goals start flowing I'm on my way still need the tactics skills but they will come over the next few days

Hi & welcome to my blog charting the rise (hopefully) of my fml football team Inter Retirement Having been a beta tester since the end of feb/early march up to august in the beta world psycho i do have a basic understanding of how the game works known as a very successful youth side whilst in beta i hope to continue this tradition into retail.

& here's my initial squad for retail.

with it being a little light on senior aged players my results in the beginning where iffy to say the least,But i did manage to snag Alan Kardec who terrified defences at both youth level & seniors in the psycho gw,knowing how well this LEGEND turns out i know i wont struggle for goals once my side finds it feet.

but with a few choice additions & a bit of luck i know i can turn these rough diamonds into the polished item& keep doing the same with the u17 side i have started creating so that i have a continual production line of cheap but good players having bought 2 of the best under 17 players i came across whilst beta testing Zezinho (WBL+AMC) & Cedric (AML+FC) much to the annoyance of my friend & shearer gw mod Jakswan i have the foundations lay ed ,14 more as good & i will be talking golden era again just like my last U21 squad in psycho
hope to keep you informed as to my highs & lows.
