I haven't seen many own goals at all, but I have seen some really stupid back passes go right into the path of an opposing striker who (more often than not) scores.

I've seen a ton of this also. It seems way too common in lower league saves.

Pretty good season despite our star man being out all season and missing two other key players for half the season.



This is the third division of Belgium.

I saw that Juve had fallen to 6th in Serie A, but I had no idea things had gotten this dire

Yeah I've noticed it too. It hasn't happened a TON, but it's happened at least twice to me where the CB, under no pressure at all, rolls it back to the keeper, who just lets it roll into the net.

After my top goalkeeper went down with an injury, I've now signed Will Jääskeläinen, and for the first time, I've signed a father and a son to the same team (I signed Jussi Jääskeläinen in FM 2013 for Viborg FF) I understand that Jussi was old for a player, but it's still kind of neat to make those signings five years apart.

Second season with Geel in third division of Belgium and we were going to comfortably finish in 10th place. Which is 4 spots off relegation and 6 spots off the playoffs. When I got a wild hair and checked the opens jobs. Saw FC Oss in Netherlands second division open. Applied and got it. They were in the relegation spot with 10 games to go. Came down to the final game of the season.



Was almost a very short job.

And everyone was in the last year of their contract. I let 80% of the team go. I've now spent three days doing the off-season. And after all that we are still projected to be in a relegation battle again this year. Although I feel like we could finish mid table.

EDIT: Just stepped down after going 0-1-15 to start the season. Board wasn't ready to fire me, but I'd lost the dressing room and it wasn't going to get any better. I would have gotten fired. Too big of a jump up.

I probably should've been paying more attention to bonus payouts as a part of transfer deals....because oh boy.

Just won a double by winning the French Cup and Europa League.

Pulled in $8.44M by winning those two competitions.

Thanks to my transfer dealings....I just paid out $9.5M to other teams as part of several deals because I won those two competitions. Plus another $9.05M in squad bonus payouts.

HOLY $#!%

I'd been better off losing.
