How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Following up on the post above.

For LBs I am considering both Alaba and Jordi Alba - both are quick and lethal. Might end up buying both and letting go of Blind.

Also planning to sell off two CBs and instead get Varane. Really thinking of Alderweireld leaving Ajax since he is 27 now and I dont really want to give him a contract when he is old. Among the CBs, Nacho, van der Hoorn are certain to go.

Might also sell Lukoki. And Sigthorsson. Lewandowski is in his last year, so something needs to be done, he does get me the goals. Hard choice.

Woah, for once I actually might sell more players than I buy in a transfer window.

Anyone know what's up with the glitch where your substitutes disappear? It's not the invisible player glitch. I'll make a substitution right, leaving me with 6 players on the bench and 2 substitutions left. Later on in the game I'll pause to make a change, and while I still have 2 substitutions left, there are only 2 players on my bench - a goalkeeper and a center back. This happens quite often. Sometimes only one player will be missing, sometimes two, this time it was 4. Anyone know why this is happening?

@AS4 what kind of stats does Fischer have at 83 rating?

I have just finished my first season with Northampton Town FC, we won the league title and gained automatic promotion to league 1.. I played on World Class difficulty

Champions Roster:
GK- Duke (C)- retiring after this, so I will be on the hunt for a new young keeper, especially because I am not fully confident in my current backup.

RB- Robertson - excellent player, really good with crosses and ball control, hes 30yo so I may be splitting his time next year with my backup (Camadal)

CB- Tozer - Future captain, at 23yo this guy anchored my defense and was a big reason my team finished with 24 clean sheets.

CB- Collins - Solid CB, however hes a little small, may be in the hunt for a new one, depending on funds and roster at the start..

LB- Widdowson - Had a great season, is really fast and makes a lot of offensive runs. Young player with a decent potential so he will also be splitting time with Camadal and Roberts

RM- Hackett - older fella, however he wasnt my starter all season, it was originally Dickenson, however he got hurt and Hackett filled the role. Will keep him next year, however this is the main position I am looking to improve.. He would be a really good backup

CM- Carter - again he's 30yo however he was definitely an important piece for the squad.. controlled the midfield and usually played a more CDM type of style.. also scored 7 goals

CM- Labadie - (transfered in from Torquay @ start of season) hell of a player in the midfield, likes getting forward and runs down people all the time.. was second in the team on tackles and tied for first on appearances.. Mr. Reliable

LM- Morris- league leader for assists and netted 6 goals as well.. really strong and fast along the touchline.

ST- Marquis - 2nd in scoring in the league with 21 goals.. also had 8 assists. Really, really good player.. however, he was a loan in from Millwall, and I dont think I am going to buy him back, for I have confidence in my other strikers

ST- Hanson (Transfer from Bradford) - midseason transfer.. led the league in goals with 26 and did that in half the games of Marquis.. He is unmatchable in the air, and has a killer left foot.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Offseason Tasks:
- Sign 3rd string CB who can sub in, and contend for Collins' job.
-Sign a RM who is young and has a decent amount of potential- Björn Jopek- leading candidate from Berlin.
-Sign a ST to replace Marquis... or maybe resign Marquis depending on the beginning few games
-SIGN A GOALIE**** Priority #1 because Duke is retiring

Definitely get a new right back, Aurier would be fantastic. His position might say RM but he also can play RB so he isn't really playing out of position (it's like playing a guy with CM as first choice position and CDM as second choice at CDM). He has a good potential and strongly linked sign him up. Sign Carlos Vela. Arsenal would be stupid not to pay his buy back clause it is so cheap for such a great player. I think he will make the switch. Definitely sell Vermaelen to get Ginter. He is a great young CB and definitely better than Vermaelen. Could even try and do a swap. And finally sign Javi Martinez to play as a CDM (don't play him at CB only when necessary) As for Neven Subotic you should wait a season or two he glitches out and becomes 90+ rated if playing for CPU Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the input! Didn't do a writeup because I haven't finished the window yet but so far I sold my young striker for about 80 million. Then I bought Mandzukic for 25 plus Bendtner. Bought Ginter for 11 million. Was gonna buy Vela until they wanted 60 million! Bought Alexis Sanchez from Barca for 19.5 million (what a steal!!). Bought Subotic for 25 million. I have about 30 million left and want to save some of it for January so I might wait until then to buy a new RB. I think I can manage with Sagna, Jenkinson, and Ginter there until then. I am gonna sell Vermaelen in this window and probably Rosicky (even though I love him irl) he in tanking fast as far as overall and I should really get out now! As for the Striker situation, my idea is that Mandzukic, Giroud, and Podolski can all play there and they will likely get me 2-3 years of solid play. I will try to buy Batshuayi in January or next summer as the striker of the future. If we incur an injury to a ST between now and January I will probably loan in Thierry Henry (I would love this so much)!! So I doubt another summer signing is in our future but we do have a North London derby to talk about next!

Great post! Love hearing about RTG and your making this one very realistic not signing the players people usually do and not immediately selling anyone close to 30. Keep it up!

Let us know the budget so we can make a few signing suggestions!

My budget is shot.. they only gave me 350k and I went out and bought Jopek (LM from Union Berlin) who is only 20 and I have never heard of him before! And thanks for the realistic realization, thats what I was going for!!

In the Jan. Window I am going to request more funds, because they for some reason won't provide me with them now.. So make suggestions please!

I need a ST, GK, CB the most.. I want quality guys.. regardless of potential or age..
