Football Manager 2012: A Plymouth Argyle Story….

Hello friends!!

It’s great to be back after what seems like an eternity since the conclusion of my Southampton save but now we have a brand new version of the game and for me a brand new story featuring League 2 side Plymouth which won the vote that was held a few weeks ago.

Today I am bringing you an introduction to my story and will be back later next week with all the usual pre season content.

As FM 2012 allows you to add and delete leagues I decided to load the game with just the UK and Ireland for now as for sure the board will only allow scouting in this area. As we hopefully progress towards the EPL I’ll adjust these settings adding leagues from the rest of Europe and perhaps South America too.

You will notice I decided on using the FM 2012 dark skin which seems more comfortable for my aging eyesight and bi-focal glasses! Once the voting for my new team was complete several of you commented on Plymouths finances and you weren’t wrong. I have no transfer budget and I’m already over my salary budget so there’s very little wiggle room to buy new players so it looks like I’ll be loaning once I get started.

Speaking of players, take a look at theses two screen shots of the first team squad. I don’t reacall ever seeing player morale like this when loading a new game. This is going to be hard to turn around.

As I embark on this new journey Plymouth will celebrate their 125th year as a football club so I hope by the end of the first season we will have something additional to celebrate.

Well that’s it for my first FM2012 post and thanks for taking the time to read it. I hope you all have a great weekend and can find the time to enjoy your copy of Football Manager 2012. Here we go!!!
