Hello dear friends! A new year is here and after some thinking I decided to start a brand new competition here! It will obviously be related to Football Manager 2011, a competition between the most beautiful goals that you have seen in the game. How it will work is extremely simple: if one of your players has scored a great goal in FM 2011 you will simply have to upload that goal to YouTube and then post a comment with a link to the video. Submissions will be open until the 15th of the month, then all the submitted goals will be published in a post and entered into a poll where the readers will get to vote until the end of the month and decide which goal is the most beautiful one.

Every competition has to have some prizes, right? Well, each “goal of the month” winner will get a football related book from me. The January winner will get a copy of “Inverting The Pyramid: The History of Football Tactics” by Jonathan Wilson, a great book that will really improve your tactical knowledge and skills.

The competition will go on until there will be an official announcement on the release date for Football Manager 2012! Then the monthly competition will stop but we’ll have a kind of a play-off between all the monthly winners: all the best goals from each month will be entered into another poll and the winner will get a copy of FM 2012!

Just to kick off the competition, here’s one of the best goals I’ve seen so far in my Vauxhall game:

Don’t forget to submit your videos before January 15th folks, good luck!

  1. Oooooooh this looks fun :)

  2. Good idea Johnny, it will be great to see some fantastic goals, should be interesting :)

  3. the competition is on Johnny, btw is the comment on this post or any post?

  4. Great idea.I want to be part of the competition but don’t know how to create a link.So feel free to use the video in my blog.The one you comment on it.

  5. This is a brilliant idea. Just have to teach the boys how to score the special goals now. If you did a competition for the scrappiest tap ins I would win hands down. Well done Johnny

    • I’m glad that you like it Chris. The “scrappiest goal” thing would be far too competitive I guess :)

      • Doesn’t matter anyway, Owen Hargreaves just scored a screamer. It won’t let me upload though. Did I have to link my YouTube account when I created my profile?

        • You can link your YouTube account before uploading, go to your profile in the game and there should be a “Social Networks” tab somewhere and you can add your YouTube account there. Then you’ll be able to upload.

  6. Hi Johnny, does the goal have to be in a competitive game or do they count if they were scored in a friendly?

  7. We could transfer this to the forum also but here’s mine

  8. Great competition Johnny, will be nice to see some quality goals. I’m taking a short break from FM though so I may enter at a later stage if that’s OK. Again, great idea and great competition.

  16. geez, I have so many wonderful and sometimes funny goals. Seems like playing in lower leagues produces more quality goals than playing in higher leagues. Strange
