How's your FIFA 13 career mode going?

[UK0wnag3]

Finally finished my first season as Bristol City manager. I ended up finishing 14th in the table, after a great last month and a half where I went undefeated. After a year of consolidation, next year I'm gunning for the premier league. I resigned as Ecuador manager, it was proving too much of a distraction from my club work. At the end of the season, I released Jody Morris, Mark Wilson and Lewin Nyatanga. Nick Powell, Ignaci Miquel and Curtis Good returned to their parent clubs, and club legend Louis Carey retired. I'm hoping to bring Miquel back aswell as adding another striker. Hopefully I can also offload Ryan Taylor and if I get the right price, Greg Cunningham.

If that comes together, then it's all systems go!

As you can tell. I lack in goalkeepers and I need a Left-Midfielder to replace Oussama Assaidi because he's a winger. My transfer budget is £13.5 million and £115,000 in wage (I bought the Financial Takeover from EASFC Store) and I want to know a decent GK to buy and a good LM (preferably under 27 years of age) to replace my current players, and who should I sell?

Time to update you all on Celtic FC!

Again after furthering my stranglehold on the Clydesdale Bank Premier League, I took my talents once again to the Champions Cup, this time against a loaded FC Barca.

The funny thing I realized is the announcers took time to talk about how Joe Ledley was going to have to deal with playing against his former squad, when in actuality, he wasn't even on the bench, he was on the reserve squad. Anyway the game itself was shockingly easy, my first game I had trouble sneaking through the backline of Barca, but at the end of it all I led 2-1 and won the first leg. I thought that would put me into a great position heading to Barca's house.

And so it did, however it was not as easy as I thought it would be. After getting a rather quick early goal from Hooper, action calmed down, no one really got a prime scoring opportunity until the 85th minute. It was quite the bore really. However my defense forgot that Leo Messi is, well, Leo Messi and let him walk right in and score on his own rebound. He was basically on top of Butland when he shot it, and same with the rebound. Not much could really be done there, I'm happy he stopped him the first time. That made the aggregate 3-2, all of a sudden we have Barca in full out attack mode and it almost worked in added time. Modric puts off a shot that gets stopped by Butland, but bounces right to who else but Leo Messi. Wide open net for the guy, and of all people HE gets a bad touch and shoots it right past Butland, and out past the other post, completely missing the net, and sealing the deal. Celtic had upset Barca and moved on to face Bayern Munich in the final four.

I went on to play Bayern, but it just wasn't mine to be. After shocking them on Allianz, they killed me 4-1 on my own turf to advance the the Champions Cup final where they then lost to Chelsea (again). I won the Scottish Cup, and the Scottish Premier League. In the offseason, I was offered the job at Northern Ireland and Scotland for their national teams respectively, I took Scotland being I manage a team in the Scottish Premier League.

I do have a question though, I don't plan on leaving Celtic anytime soon, but when will I actually be offered legitimate manager positions? I mean I did lead a huge underdog to the final four of the Champions Cup, beating Manchester United, FC Barca and Real Madrid on the way.

So I've gone through a few seasons as the LA Galaxy and got them up to 4.5 stars (I think that's what it is, there's 1.5 stars left...can't remember if it's out of 5 or 6 lol).

Is it possible I'll ever be able to apply for jobs for some of the premier teams or anything like that? My Galaxy team is so dominant in the MLS.

Edit: Also, is there certain times where teams from other leagues tend to have available job postings?

Yes, go to managers office, my jobs or something of that nature and open it, there will be teams that you can "apply" for. I've seen teams from the likes of Millwall looking for a new manager to save them from falling out of the npower champions league, to taking over Losc Lille.

I just asked a similar question but to clarify, I want the team to come to me, not me to go to them.

I just got fired from my team at doncaster after 4 years . Took them to a premier league title, the next year I simmed about half and at the end terminated. Whole youth squad and scouts gone. Signed at aston villa now with no money and no scouts this makes me want to just quit career mode.
