Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

That was a truly incredible read, not going to lie. The style of writing was brilliant and it was captivating.

Cheers, mate. Had a feeling it would go down well here. Didn't gather much interest anywhere else. Speaks volumes about the boys on here, proper career mode nuts!

Talk about a way to build up a career mode, awesome stuff!!! Such a great way to build up a career and make a story about it to pique the interest while still providing all the relevant info so we know what the team has accomplished.

Thanks, mate! Loving your West Ham adventures, nice to see you doing so well with the actual team. I recently moved to the 4-1-2-1-2 narrow myself and think it's amazing. I've got Milner converted to CM, Redmond converted to CAM, and Sako converted to ST. Excellent stuff.

WOW! Great read man! Really enjoyed it. A really in depth CM there. Very interesting.

Cheers, enjoyed writing it as well. Glad it's gone down a treat.

Where should I play Pogba? CDM or CAM? I usually always play him at CDM

He's ridiculous anywhere in midfield TBH, especially in a formation with three or more central players (4-1-2-1-2, 4-3-3, 3-5-2, etc). Never used him in a career, though.

Season 2

Phil Neville is the new coach of MK Dons!

Phil Neville, the coach who last season finished 6th with Everton in the Barclays Premier League and won the Capital One Cup, has now taken a step back. After being fired from Everton, not many teams were in for him. However, the board at Milton Keynes Dons felt that he is the perfect man for the new coaching job.

"We think with the experience that Neville offers, we can take the next step to the FL Championship and possible the Premier League." Mr Neville himself wanted to take things slowly. "We have a young squad, with a lot of talent. If we develope this talent right, I can see us rising up."

Milton Keynes Dons finished 7th last season. While most of the fans were hoping for promotion last season, they are confident that Neville and the team can take the next step. One of the fans even commented that the title should be theirs this season. "Anything less than the title is a complete disappointment."

How things will start to play out, nobody knows. But one thing is for sure - Phil Neville sure has a lot of work to do.

Season 3
FIFA 15


Coventry gain financial backing from American billionaire

Newly promoted side Coventry City FC have been taken over by American billionaire and basketball side Cleveland Cavaliers owner, Daniel Gilbert. The American has been looking to expand his franchise into the biggest sport financially in the world and saw Coventry as the team to do so. Identifying them as a team on the rise with their promotion and their season in the European spotlight he was eager to invest his money into the side. With a net worth of over $4.3 billion, the man has money to burn and is eager to give the funds for whatever is necessary. His first action was to give the side £31.1 million in a transfer budget and £200,000 in wages to spend.


Stadium is sole Coventry ownership

Coventry City FC stadium the RICOH Arena has been bought by Dan Gilbert. The stadium was previously in joint ownership between the side and the Wasps' rugby team, despite being based in London, a move which was greeted with outcry from fans of both teams. The new deal means Wasps will move stadium back down to London while Coventry will continue to play in their home stadium.

State of the Art Youth Academy set up by American owner

Plans for new youth facilities have gone through for Coventry City. The new area, planned to contain between 6-15 depending on size and an indoor pitch with an artificial surface, will be situated not far from the RICOH. The Alan Higgs Centre, previously used by the club, is happy and not angry by the departure. The new facilities, along with the pitches, will include a gym and weights room, treatment area, hydrotherapy area and restaurant along with much more. It can also be used for the senior team as a training ground, allowing the youth to see the professionals at work. The Academy and Training ground is hoped to be completed by the start of the 2017/18 season and will be on par in terms of facilities with the best in the world, Liverpool, Southampton, Ajax, Barcelona, Feyenoord, Bilbao and is based on the 5 star facilities owned by Sunderland.

Transfers IN:

Gary Gardner: Pre Contract Agreement
Ben Davies: £4.8 million from Sours
Kieran Trippier: £3 million from Burnley
David Marshall: £2.6 million from Cardiff
Will Hughes: £7 million from Derby
Emyr Huws: £4.7 million from Wigan
Harry Maguire: £3 million from Hull
Liam Moore: £4 million from Leicester

Transfers OUT:

Ryan Allsop: £1.35 million to Elche

Match 1

Coventry 1-1 Swansea
Rudy 73 (OG)
Ki 83
In our return to the Premier League, 15 years after last playing in the division, we welcomed the most successful Welsh team playing in the English football league. The grass of the RICOH Arena pitch was glistening with a soft wet from the sprinklers as the teams lined up to start the season. Swansea and Coventry both had a fair share of possession, both with a similar way of playing, possession. The newly promoted side took the lead, Gary Gardner curling the ball goalwards and it took a lethal deflection off of Rudy to find the bottom corner. However, Ki equalised, smashing into the top corner from just outside the box exploiting the space. 1 point in the first game.

Match 2

West Ham 2-1 Coventry
Huws 28
Carroll 34
Zarate 90
We took the lead against the Hammers, now in their new stadium, the Olympic Stadium used in the 2012 Olympics. It was their first competitive fixture in the ground and we looked to spoil the party, Huws heading in from a corner. Carroll got West Ham back level, powerfully heading in at the back post. As the rest of the game played out as a tight affair, a cross was whipped in in stoppage time and Zarate's diving header found the back of the net off the post.

Match 3

Coventry 1-0 Norwich
Davies 55
We took the lead against the Canaries early in the first half from a corner. The ball was whipped in and Davies found space unmarked to head into the top corner. Norwich barely threatened and to be honest, neither did we. Our first win of the season.

Can't say I don't love the idea of Gilbert being the new owner. But I hope when you have a player you want to leave, you must treat him like Lebron did when Cleveland. But I would have went somewhere more realistic for choosing a new owner. Or gone the former all route, ala David Beckham. Who I would have went for because he actually just bought a team and is putting them in FL somewhere. Don't remember if it's the Orlando team or Miami. But seeing as neither is in the game you could have gone with Becks.

Good point. I don't really know a lot about Basketball so I didn't know whether he was well liked or not. I just browsed through pages and pages of rich lists, found someone who has a sports franchise and went with them. I have a storyline panned out anyway, it just will take a while to kick in and I read about the LeBron thing and I already had that idea in mind. I hope you will still enjoy because he wont be making many appearances

Outstandingly good read. Long post indeed, but well worth the time. It looks like it's a lot but once you start reading it you're surprised to see when you're already at the end, that's how well it hooks you in.
