Patch 11.2 i have played 3-4 seasons then stop. Since 11.3 i've play till 2nd season now.
I use an uber tatic from fm-base & got no.1 in season 1. I think the 30+ mil newcastle have in start is really helping.
I posted my team & results at the tactic thread to support the guy who share it, maybe u can have a look

@EDK - wow that tactics was sick! i think i might try soon. at this moment i just experimenting my tactics. still 4-4-2 hahahaa.i try to emulate like Arsenal model, youngster power


Just finished my 2011/2012 with Newcastle. That was a very awesome season for me. The Objective for those season is just want to finish the mid-table.After the 19 matches, the board offer me the new target. I'm not very confident so i made it as a top half finish. During this period, my striker Elmander was injured, so i have to buy another young striker. I bought Leigh Griffith from wolves, 21 years old decent stats for 15.5m that was big jeopardy for me!

That youngster proved him worth for buck after assisting Wickham this season. Connor wickham was honored as a 3rd position of goal scorers for this season with 27 goals..

It was a big boost to Newcastle after managed to bring this squad to UEFA champions league, a young manager lead them to EURO spot after finished 2nd position in this league this season.







Big blow for me top scorers Wickham out for 5 months at his 37 matches for Newcastle.



Regarding from that injury, New Newcastle owner plan to bid a high rated striker to replace Wickham due his long injured.

ZUL:

Very good result man! With my own tactic in 11.2 patch i only managed to get Newcastle no.4 in 1st season no matter how i try.
Leigh Griffith this guy has very good finishing, nice find!
Neymar i think he wont be interested to join Newcastle will he?
I bought Lukaku as Kadlec injured & he's pretty good even if i play him as poacher instead of target men

Hey i almost finish my 2nd season. Already champ before 3 last games. That tactic is crazy after team is fully gel. Lose to chelsea 1-0 then next match thrash MU 10-2 lol
Here's some screenies

@EDK

that tactic was crazy winning 10-2 to man utd is just
does collocinni want a new contract? because he demands me 170k per week but i wont extend his contract hahaha.

finally Ashley regime was over, new owner from denmark take over! does it happens to your game?

Newcastle to Champions League Preparation

New owner, Ordrup Ostergaard wants Newcastle coach to spend in the transfer market. After failed to bid Neymar.Wilshere and Bale, Newcastle made a 4 new signing in this season. Cavani breaks the record transfer for Newcastle after signing to magpies for 46m. Real Madrid player Granero believes Newcastle will success this year and joining them for 15m fee.

David Bentley moved to Newcastle as a free agent. Starlet Josh McEachran loan in Newcastle until the rest of this season. Newcastle Manager believes this new signing will boost them in Champions League.

Newcastle almost signing a free agent Anelka from Chelsea but Newcastle turned down the deal at the last minutes.

BPL 2012/2013 New Season will start toon.

Yo Zul, collocini diam diam only in my game i think he knows i wanted to get rid of him soon hehe. 170k is crazy, with that wage can get Sakho already 1 of the best defender in game.
Ya in my game also Newcastle being take over but i didn't check which group. Is good though as the new owner immediately expand the stadium & training facilities
In my start of season 3 i got 130 mil to spend so i bought Neymar & Sakho for the fun of it as I wont continue the game already. Wanna try my own new tactic with new season.

I saw u made some pretty good transfer deal there. Cavani is a monster! Bentley & Granero is damm good also.
Good luck on your 2nd season bro

wow macheda..world player of the year! i try to lure him to newcastle but failed

in my game, when his contract near to expired he demand 170k per week

i think Neymar joining urs since u won the UCL right? ... i think u should try that same tactic let see if you can retain that title...
so u going to stick with newcastle again with ur new tactic?

i think McEachran going to replace Barton, Granero to Nolan but i bought them as backup plan for Nolan/Barton for the retirement.
So Granero/McEachran will become main anchor for my midfield.

Cavani is the last minutes deal since my wickham is out for 3 months for now.

to be honest, i'm quite nervous for my debut in UCL

Very innovative thread, Zul...nice results w/ Newcastle

Well...take a look @ the City's weekly salary



It practically funds my entire weekly wage for the whole squad. U do the maths on the top earners...n u'll not what I'm talking about...

As what Ive predict, 4-2-4 formation sure can do goals galore. Ive use such tactic in my previous save game till' now.. With a good instruction, this formation simply the best~

yeah! tried that tactic hours ago using Citeh.. i manage to beat Man Utd 7-0 Stoke 7-1 and Arsenal 9-1
i think that tactic is IMBA lol.... i think i might stick with on my own tactic

that tactic is a goal galore... credit to the original founder!

Season 2012/2013 my magpies team struggle with away match

I've tried quite a bit of 4-2-2-2 in fmbase but none of them is as consistent & explosive as this.
In fact most of them is not playable by team like Newcastle as the defending will become a nightmare.

This tactic create a lot of goal chances through good player movement & positioning.
I've seen a damm lot of successful killer ball passing with this tactic where i rarely see in other tactics.
This is also the only tactic that i've experienced that can see the wing backs get high & consistent 7+ rating.
Most tatics i tried including my own tactic the wing backs are rubbish & most of the time is the culprit of conceding goals

Added on April 4, 2011, 10:47 pmThink won't be playing 3rd season, bored of that IMBA tactic like u said lol. That Korean guy who invented the tactic is genius, i always knew the Koreans are gaming god
I will try my own 4-4-1-1 tactic which i've use it to win Serie A with Udinese in 1st season. After patch 11.3 though my tactic no longer work sigh...
But now i will re-tune the tactic with Newcastle see, though the success with my Udinese tactic is partly due to having a godlike tranquetista Antonio De Natale &
the superb defender Cristian Zapata

Collocini many ppl want to buy when i try to sell him. 170k i'm sure u will not hesitate to show him the door hehe.
Yea i think Neymar join me due to winning champions league with increased club statue. Play him few games & havent found anything special yet as Jonas is doing too good
in my game. Put him into Kadlec's poacher position also not so great as Kadlec. Might need time to gel him i guess.

Barton does not even want to renew contract with me in start of season 3. He feels no more target & wanted to look for new challenge

Newcastle shines in UCL but failed to maintain performance in BPL lol
now lying at 10 position.

Zul did u try changing the position of your player in your tactic? I found out that after one season my team will do bad until i change some of the player's position.
Think this is due to CPU recorded/learned our tactic. I position swap my center midfield & defenders, left to right & vice versa, it always worked for me.
Grab that UCL cup for newcastle man

yup but mostly around midfielder department. HBA to left and right.
sometimes Barton will become ball winner and box to box midfielder.

just finished half of league season 2012/2013.....now at 10 position. i think they are fatigue due of tight schedule

i managed to go to semi final at League cup against Bristol city...first leg i drew with them 1-1 at bristol stadium.
guess what? bristol city got david beckham lol.

UCL round of 16 not start yet. i will against AC Milan at the san siro

how's your league going?

I think Football Manager should seriously consider implementing those Zul-Sports Center News style feedbacks

yeah but SI need a license from soccernet or just make it lookalike.

bad news for me!

my saves file could not loaded. here burn my 2012/2013 season

lmao David Beckham went to Bristol!? I tried use him once before, only perform so so for me
I started a new game with Newcastle again using 4-4-1-1 tranquetista & bought few key players i always used in my old Udinese game.
Doing quite good atm no.2 & just 2 points behind leader Chelsea.
FM save game can often goes corrupt, better make new save after few games. Since it's gone might be time for new game season
