My game database? Yeah, I normally go with 91 leagues from 36 nations.

How are the challenges?

.... those load times(though i play on a laptop)


Right now Stoke is going surprisingly well, even after being rejected by everybody I wanted to sign, I'm 2-0 and have won 3-0 vs Sunderland and 3-0 vs Swansea.

Check that, 3-0, just beat Reading 2-1, up to 19th!

Check that, 4-0 handled Aston Villa(and Pulis!) 4-0!

Well, this is going to come to a screeching halt I imagine, vs QPR, vs Man City, vs Chelsea, vs Everton are my next four fixtures.

Well don't mind me guys, just gonna go 6-0 and beat QPR 2-1 and Man City 2-1.

Does the game process quicker with more leagues or more players? I've never had the patience to test it. I normally go for 2/3 leagues but I have around 90k players on a custom database, which is essentially the best players from each country.

I'd say this is a quick update on Portadown but I've only just come back to FM after a little break, thanks to GTA. I've just had my worst European season, going straight out to Swedish side Djurgarden 1-0 on aggregate in the 2nd Qualifying Round, which also means no dropping into the Europa League. I've responded by winning 10 straight domestic games to start the domestic season. This is going to be a long, boring season. Hopefully set myself up to capture every domestic trophy though.

Processes much slower, depending on your computer set up.

I have a pretty beefy rig, so the slowdown is there but it's not terrible.

If it wasn't for Windows 8 near non-existent footprint, I couldn't load the 8 countries I do in normal saves, lol.

Lost to Chelsea and Arsenal, drew with Newcastle and Everton beat Southampton, and I'm sitting 15th in the BPL.

So my goalie broke his finger and one of my younger guys i was going to use as a sweeper after i had a lead got hurt at practice.



So my defense is awful AND i have a 17 yr old goalie. and no transfer budget... and nobody wants to loan my players either hmmmmmm

Survived! Finished 13th with Stoke after beginning the Challenge 16 points from safety.

Next up: Injury Crisis, which I'll be completing with either Hannover or Inter, I'm not sure which. Maybe even a french team.

So i got sacked from AFC wimbledon after having a very secure job status :/
Applied for San Marino and they offered me a contract. Let's hope I can make some noise in Italy
