They still haven't fixed the brainless back pass for corner though. Happens way too often.

My favorite gripe is the defender who slams the ball into the back of his teammate, causing it to land at the feet of an attacker who scores. I see that way too often. Or the incorrect goalkeeper animations that make you think your goalkeeper is more than likely Carlos Henrique conning you into thinking he knows how to play that position.

I haven't seen that one too much. I also haven't played too much in the lower leagues this version.

I take it back. This was a bad idea, there is no saving this club. I don't know what I was thinking.

This is how I felt about Swansea. They start 20M in the red. No transfer or wage budget to do anything with. Most of the players are garbage. Even if you sell your best player (Siggy, the only one anyone wants) for lots of money, no one wants to join you who is any good. It was a dumpster fire from the start. And it felt like a losing battle from day one. I'm shocked they did so well IRL.

When you skip your lunch break (gym) and smash Chelsea 4-0 at The Emirates.

I love this game.

Note: Hope this doesn't make them reel off 13 straight wins...

Relegation was rough, but here we go with what is normally my final save of the year.

Almost through the first January window at Arsenal. Just had an £80M bid rejected for Icardi. Not sure I am willing to go any higher. Haven't bought anyone else in the window, lol.

I keep 'declaring interest' and then 'make an inquiry (well, Arsene does)--but keep getting the 'not for sale at any price' (Sule, Tah, Icardi). Is this common, I assume?
