How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

[indiblue]

Jesus Christ, you guys are ON FIRE. Looks like I'm not needed here anymore, eh? I agree with what Chicobass said a few posts ago, this thread was lively before I got here.

Anyway, some news that might interest you lot. I should have Brighton updates for October and November up tonight or tomorrow. I won't reveal much, but it's safe to say that I'm going to be building my attack around Will Buckley.

UD Las Palmas - 57 pts Press Conference Q: Deportivo has topped the table for the first time all year. The board felt you were the right job man for the club but they surely couldn't have expected this much success so soon. Are you surprised at all by where this team is at? A: I wouldn't say that I am surprised. This is a club that was in La Liga only a year ago. There was still plenty of talent left on this team when I took over. I was fortunate enough that this team had several players on the roster that fit my style of play. La Liga is what I had my eyes set on the whole time, and we just need to finish another month where we are and we will see that accomplished. Q: Pulido is out for 8 weeks. How will your defense hold up while he is out? Who do you expect to fill his spot? A: Lobo will be his replacement while Pulido is going through the therapy to get healthy again. Obviously you never want to lose one of your defensive starters, but I have confidence in the defense as a unit to be able to get the job done. I don't expect to have to change any tactics or strategies. Q: Just one month of the season left to go, how would you evaluate your first season as manager so far? A: I don't think I can fully answer that question just yet. Some of the analysts may say that we have exceeded expectations this season, but I think that remains to be seen. As I said earlier I came in with the goal of promotion, and nothing is guaranteed yet. I will be able to answer this question fully next month.

That is one tricky table for the run-in. Any plans to deal with season one in La Liga? Snapped up any freebies in January?

We have been drawn with Real Madrid in the quarter final of Champions League. The draw in full: PSG vs Barcelona Bayern Munich vs Juventus Atletico Madrid vs Manchester City Manchester United vs Real Madrid I lead Liverpool and Man City by just a point in the prem with Arsenal and Chelsea 3 points behind. There are only 9 games left in the league. I clinched my first piece of silverware after a dramatic late Romeron against Chelsea. I have Real Madrid up next in a action packed April schedule. I will include the full league table in my next update. Any feedback appreciated

From my experience, if you drop points in more than three games, say goodbye to the title. Might be different for you, but that sort of precarious run-in always goes wrong for me when I draw games. And boy, do I end up drawing a lot in the run-in. That's why I like to enter the last month or two with a 4-point gap over second, ideally. Doesn't always happen.

Good luck against Madrid, I never have trouble with Ronaldo. Always Di Maria who screws me over, him and Xabi who tends to shoot from distance. Casillas is also OP in the game (obviously not anymore IRL going by the past two seasons and last night's game vs. Netherlands).

Also, damn you for beating Chelsea.

If they're on loan at a club in the same national league as yours, you can check cup appearances via the Squad Report. Same page shows you league appearances if they're in the same division as your club.

AFC Wimbledon

Very few would have believed this at the beginning of the season, but AFC Wimbledon have secured automatic promotion to the Football League 1 after defeating Northampton 2-0! Here we have Wimbledon manager Chavez for a few quick words in the middle of the celebration:

"It's definitely an amazing feeling to be able to be part of this moment and to give this to the fans who have been with us the whole way. We can't let this distract us though, we still have 4 vital matches left in the season and we'll want to finish strong. The boys have agreed that this is not the moment to celebrate just yet. Mathematically we're promoted, but it's not official until the final match. Anything can happen in these last 4 games so tomorrow morning it's back to work. We have 2 very difficult matches against S****horpe United who are also fighting for promotion coming up."

Any words on the criticism you have received with the signings of Kedwell and Jolley?

"As I've mentioned before there will be a press conference where that will be addressed."

Thank you for your time Mr. Chavez and congratulations!

"Don't congratulate me just yet!"
..........

Football League 2 Promotion Table
1. AFC Wimbledon - 97 points
2. Portsmouth - 89 points
3. S****horpe United - 86 points
4. Chesterfield - 84 points
5. Plymouth Argyle - 77 points
6. Bristol Rovers -74 points
7. Southend United - 72 points

Danny Hylton is currently the league top scorer with 22 goals, but Terry Gornell (Cheltenham Town - 13th place) really exploded mid-season and is right behind Hylton with 21 goals. Cheltenham Town have no chance of achieving promotion but they're doing their best to get the Golden Boot for Gornell. AFC Wimbledon will face S****horpe United this upcoming Tuesday before traveling to Cheltenham where the two top scorers of the league will meet head to head.

For HYFCMG, this has been ChicoBass. Thank you for reading.

Promoting a Championship side without financial takeover is not as easy as some might think it is. I'm just 15 or 16 games in and already annoyed by the relatively poor ball control and passing in this division, including my own. Can't wait to get to the Premiership and start building a team.

Thanks for the response. I just played the first leg against Madrid drew 2-2, since they have the away goals I need to win in the second leg, will be challenging. Ronaldo and Benzema both got a brace. It was strange seeing RVP and Vidic coming of the bench in Madrid shirts.

As for the Premier league I comfortably beat Newcastle and since Liverpool and City drew against each other I now have a 3 point lead over Chelsea, City,Liverpool and Arsenal. With an easy run in I feel we can lift the trophy. And hopefully do the treble.

The F.A Cup draw:

Man United vs Man City
Chelsea vs Northampton

Still can't believe that Northampton got this far. If I do overcome Man City it will be a tough match against Chelsea.

Won't be updating as much due to the World Cup.

My Question to You:

Kießling's form has really fallen off. Granted, its only been 7 games, but he's been missing multiple chances and not getting to balls he should. With that being said, Kießling is also 29 years old. Do you think it might be time to pair the scorching hot Connor Wickham with a new ST partner? If so, who would you like to see put on the uniform?
