Five Things You May Not Have Discovered in Football Manager 2011

01:47 PM - February 25, 2011 by RaychelSnr

With the Football Manager series growing more and more complex with each iteration, it can be hard for newbies to wrap their heads around what is probably the deepest, most realistic sports-management game on the market today. So I am here to present five things that you may not have discovered yet in FM 2011.

But first, a caveat: FM veterans probably know most, if not all, of these already. After all, as deep as Football Manager is, it's still a game, and it is not necessarily as complex and difficult to comprehend as, say, the mind of the Chelsea management team during this past transfer window.

Another caveat: I did not conduct any "experiments" with these tips for any definitive results, but they have served me and many of my FM mates well so far. All of these things are based on my experiences with the game, which, according to my girlfriend, are abundant.

Good article, didn't realize about spreading the transfer $ out over 48 months.

Do be aware, as it is easy to find this out the hard way, that is not free money. You still pay the fee, just over 48 months.

And if you do many of these deals, they will harm your club over the long term financially.

I abused the 48 months one with Newcastle so badly...I won the EPL 2 straight years and then had to sell everyone to avoid administration. So its not a good idea hah

Yes, I do it every now and then and I admit I have hurt some of my clubs financially by pulling out a �30m deal this way when I have no other way to get the player I want. Use in moderation is the key here I think, I certainly don't do it for really big transfers anymore unless I really have to sign that one player to make the team complete.
