I'm in the final of the Belgian cup ;D Also top of the league, but it's dangerously close, Genk have dragged themselves into the mix. Going to have to have a clear out in the summer, too much deadwood and underperforming players. I'd say there are just 8 players of my first team squad that I will definitely keep. Redmond has been a revelation  He was Belgian div 2 standard when i got him, but played him anyway because he has the potential to be better than anybody else in my team, a few months later and he's already good Pro league standard with loads of assists. |

Haha! I'm top in the West Midlands Premier with Pegasus Juniors after 9 games and I've not lost a game yet. This is fucking great fun, proper football.

12 games into my 4th season with Wimbledon. 2nd season in the Championship, currently 3rd. Hoping to go up this year. Had little funds so had to sell a couple of my star players and a lot of deadwood. Sold Dean Whitehead to Fulham for £1M and my star defender Ignasi Miquel  to Leicester for £2M. Managed to get rid of Connor Sammon!!  ;D Got 90K for that bald cunt. Brought in half a squad in pre-season. Now my team is looking like this. 2.5/3 stars is good championship, 3.5 leading and 4 is good prem. Look at Sean Scannell (Scored 12 in 13 games so far) and Steve Sailsbury ♥ (Wonderkid regan. Currently good prem and Potential leading prem and he's only 18. Man U & Arsenal are after him.) Andrea Bandini is only 2.5 stars but he's been doing brilliant at RB so far. Looks like Villa and Derby are running away with so far so looking like the play-off lottery is the best I can get. Although just as I was writing this I battered Derby 5-1 at Pride Park!! So I'm only 3 points behind Derby. Also knocked out MK Dons out of the league cup. I've beaten them everytime I've played them. Franchise FC cunts. |

I've never ever ever ever been able to get Andros Townsend to perform for me.

I love it when someone, who on paper looks nowhere near good enough for the division you're in, performs brilliantly and averages at least 7.0

He's been hit and miss for me. He's either amazing or dog shit. I've been rotating him with Ben Marshall as they're both far too inconsistant.
Beating Doncaster 4-0 at half time. 9 goals in one and a half games. Blimey.

Sick to fuck of this now. Went back to my Stoke save where I'd gotten a 1-1 draw against the Shit and then it didn't save so I had to go back, it's fucking ridiculous. Fletcher is faster than EVERY player in my team, Vidic is unstoppable he intercepts every through ball and blocks most long shots also wins every header from every corner. De Gea is also unbeatable, only ever has to save long shots (because of Vidic) and he gets to them all easily.

Since the net is playing up, I've diteched Fifa and I'm on FM.
Improved my squad pretty well on the whole, my board accepted a £1.5m bid for my brazillian centre back though :\ Got De Laet though, which is good for keeping the number of Belgians up. Got a fair few kids with potential to be way above my league, so will blood them slowly.
I'm going to stay at Brugge for a few seasons at least, see how far in Europa or Champions League I can get.

Tried signing Delap even though he's not good enough to be a regular. Wanted 14,000 though Rotation can only offer 9,000. |

Drogba is definitely the missing link for me. Playing him as an advanced forward, won 2-0, 5-2, 4-1 and 3-0 since Drogba and Valbuena signed.
Drog has only scored 1 himself but my overall play has looked a lot better since he joined, Valbuena has scored 4 in 4 and has been absolutely obliterating teams. Gylfi has scored some good freekicks as well.
The other surprise performer so far has been Bruno Martins Indi, Juhász was supposed to be my main cb partner for Ryan but Martins Indi has been far far better in games so far.

Bet you got that 'here we go again' feeling when you went 1 down. In my experience, doesn't matter how good your team gets, or how poor the big teams get, you'll go there and more thank likely lose. Oh and fucking Swansea, they always beat me. Need to hatch a plan over the next couple of days, the missus is doing the same sort of shifts as me all week, and has the same 2 days off, how am I going to get back onto FM? I've got a huge match against Antwerp coming up. |

On a 36 match unbeaten run and top of the league by 6 points, Drogba is brilliant all round player at 35 but isn't scoring too much for me as a target man.
Sigurdsson has scored 16 (and assisted 18) and Valbuena has scored 9. Which are where most of my goals come from against big clubs (where I play Drogba as the more physical presence). Against lower clubs I play Fierro as a poacher and he's scored 15 goals. And I'm at the end of January and comfortably through the champions league group stage, hopefully get a good draw in the knockouts.

Really enjoying the game more than ever with Stoke. In pre-season 2020/21, just beat Stabaek 8-1 on aggregate in the Europa League 3rd Qualifying Round and building a young, regen side
Finished 6th last season, Man United were unbeatable
I'm enjoying it more than moving to say, Spurs in my previous save game, and winning the league every year
