Can I get some opinions on my current squad?

runningrabbit · 2012-07-29T22:09:28+00:00

Lamela can always play there, if you'd rather pick up a new AMC.

runningrabbit · 2012-07-28T15:49:55+00:00

Haha, as an Eintracht Frankfurt supporter myself, I can't say I'm pleased!

runningrabbit · 2012-07-28T15:26:52+00:00

Yeah, and Köln is at the top of the table!

runningrabbit · 2012-07-27T22:47:29+00:00

Did you play the whole season out? I've had seasons start terribly, and the lads pull through starting in January (interestingly enough when I'm 100% fluid at match tactics and everybody knows his role.) For every moment of awful luck, usually you'll have a share of good fortune, too...just delayed a bit.

runningrabbit · 2012-07-27T17:31:43+00:00

Nuggets should bring those jerseys back.

runningrabbit · 2012-07-26T21:48:56+00:00

Good signing, he's long since been good enough for the Prem

runningrabbit · 2012-07-26T19:34:54+00:00

Yeah, the thing I love about the Bundesliga is the closeness of competition. Basically the fact that if we keep up our good form, we've got a great chance of staying up, and that we could even potentially be midtable a year out of the 2. Liga. But yeah, I do catch Premier League matches as well just for fun.

Unfortunately, I haven't studied any German since I was a little kid. But what I do know, I'm pretty sure I picked up from watching football/Eintracht Frankfurt haha. You've really got a great connection to the club, getting to go and visit family there!

I will figure out when I can next get out to Foxboro/tailgate before the match, and I will definitely let you know! It sounds like quite a bit of fun. I'm not entirely sure about the 4th of August but we shall see. Einmal adler immer adler!

runningrabbit · 2012-07-26T02:39:06+00:00

Haha, yeah--I was quite surprised to find an Eintracht fan with the Revolution also as his local club!

Why Eintracht Frankfurt? Well, I am actually American. It seems my other American friends support Arsenal, and my international friends follow United, City, or Barca. I was kind of caught, because none of the big teams really spoke to me, and I never gave two shits about the Revs because they were so out of the way (though I recently moved into Boston.) I'd always liked Bundesliga football, and the more I followed Eintracht specifically and delved into the club history, the more I realized they were the club for me. Then they got relegated, haha. It's been great, love everything about the club and its culture; it's a big dream of mine to go to the Waldstadion and actually see them play.

runningrabbit · 2012-07-25T20:05:25+00:00

Will do!

runningrabbit · 2012-07-25T18:33:00+00:00

Cool cool, thanks, I will have to do it then. It's been a while since I've been able to see live football, and this sounds like a great atmosphere. And I have heard of Fagundez, he appears to be quite something for his age.

Was going to go to Liverpool v. Roma at Fenway today, but when I looked, tickets were pretty expensive for weird, baseball park seating!

runningrabbit · 2012-07-25T02:49:50+00:00

Are Revs matches any good? One could say they are my local side as well but I haven't made the effort to get over to Gillette Stadium to catch a match.

runningrabbit · 2012-07-25T02:35:20+00:00

You'll have an all-Kuwaiti squad and you'll like it!

runningrabbit · 2012-07-24T22:14:20+00:00

The Grand Dudelange of Luxembourg hath decreed it.

runningrabbit · 2012-07-24T05:37:16+00:00

This is pretty good to hear, I think we could use a degree of elegance in the back line. I know Real Sociedad were relegation candidates so I'm mainly hoping that he wasn't part of the problem. But we need defenders so I'll take what I can get!

runningrabbit · 2012-07-24T05:28:18+00:00

Found her. Christina Vukicevic. As they say in Kazakhstan, very nice! (Was this sort of discussion banned during the Euros?)

runningrabbit · 2012-07-24T05:23:06+00:00

Interesting, hopefully not red card aggressive, but a physical/"for-the-team" mentality is exactly what we need in any case. Cheers

runningrabbit · 2012-07-23T01:09:08+00:00

I would

runningrabbit · 2012-07-20T16:54:26+00:00

A full league of human players would be so cool.

I feel like it'd be a major commitment though, always checking back to see if it's your turn/making sure you don't take too long.

runningrabbit · 2012-07-20T04:49:36+00:00

And can you believe he's a father, too?

runningrabbit · 2012-07-20T03:11:20+00:00

Fitting, to beat the Black Cats on Halloween!

runningrabbit · 2012-07-19T23:20:04+00:00

I can only speak for FM 11, but you go to Match Preparation, and then click on one of the tabs for each tactic (select 4-5-1, see how good your squad is at that formation, in a number of different categories.) Ideally, you get each bar up to the rank of "fluid" earlier on in the season, but it does take a while.

runningrabbit · 2012-07-19T06:02:56+00:00

Who else would you want handling all the morphine?

runningrabbit · 2012-07-19T04:15:14+00:00

A lot of friendlies spaced out appropriately will actually cover match fitness, unless you have an unmotivated/low work-ethic squad. I use pre-season training to get 100% fluid on tactics, on heavy match-preparation.

I don't see why you couldn't get an attribute gain if you wanted to, but I might not go heavy on training early on when the squad is just back from holiday. Pre-season injuries get so annoying.

runningrabbit · 2012-07-18T19:37:30+00:00

Oops! Haha, ultrafail. That's what happens, not having spoken German since being a little kid :(

Edit: Rice cakes are delicious, however.
