    SERGE SAMPER

    Available on a free from BARCA at start of game

    Act quick as they sign him to a pro deal a few days after game starts

    5 star potential

    Incredible signing

    I'm still playing FM12 and am frustrated that after being in the CL for about 10 years in a row and making two finals, I still can't get young stars to even consider a contract from me. I'm down as a world class manager. Surely that should mean something?

    Will the clubs success have more bearing on players entering into contract negotiations in 2014?

    As far as decent players go, one I have found for amazing value is Koke from Atletico. He has a release clause of €15m. Definitely worth it. The next "Xavi" apparently.... I'm not sure so but an excellent player all the same. To give some perspective, Roque Santa Cruz has a release clause of €36m.

    Not sure who to start off with this year.

    For the last three years, I started as Spurs; a team who were top-mid-level, with decent players and one or two great players, but plenty to sell round with and plenty to shape. But I feel I won't be able to do that again now that the team is better this year.

    Thinking maybe Swansea?

    They have a nice balance in terms of difficulty and expansion.

    Anyone else find their players missing absolute sitters constantly or blazing it so far wide? I went from Watford to Stuttgart and found my players doing the same thing at both teams. Hopefully its just a beta issue, cause I've never noticed it in other FM's and its as frustrating as hell.

    Adrian Mutu has had a decent 3 years in charge of Sligo Rovers..

    Looking like it'll be 4 in a row too.

    Bohs last two managers have been Ulf Kirsten and now Jari Litmanen. Strange stuff happening in this game. Liam Buckley was hired as Trap's successor and led the NT to WC2020, scoring a famous win at home to Spain to secure qualification!

    For anyone who wants to try this for free before its out, Preorder it on Amazon, they send you the code straight away for Steam, enter the code in steam, commence downloading, then cancel the order with Amazon.

    The keepers are freaking super human. World Class saves every game (mostly from cutbacks, but also headers). Granted I'd have conceded a lot more if De Gea wasnt a super human for me but its frustrating when the oppo keeper is at it!

    Watching Southampton today has convinced me they are the team for me to try. Some really good players there but not superstars. Will try :)

    Loads of crosses hitting the bar, none have gone in though.

    i am having problems with my players losing possession in the stupidest ways and no reacting.

    Something I love...when selecting player roles, you can see player suitability. Delighted with that little addition...

    Yeah there is a lot of nice small additions that make all the difference. Just need to iron out a few bugs and its a very good game tbh.

    Don't sign Rivaldo. He breaks easily.

    I thought he'd be a decent option for the Chilean 2nd division, coming off the bench for the last 20 or playing the first 60. But he keeps getting injured :o.

    Had to sub him after 26 seconds of the last match!
