History: FC Rubin Kazan is a Russian football team based in the city of Kazan, the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan. The club was founded in 1958 and plays at the Kazan Arena which has a capacity of 45,105. Rubin spent the majority of their history in the lower leagues of Russian football before finally earning promotion to the Russian Football Premier League in 2003. Led by Turkmenistani manager Kurban Berdyev, Rubin achieved their greatest successes winning the RFPL in 2008 and 2009. Rubin also won a Russian Cup in 2012 and the Russian Super Cup in 2010 and 2012. However, recently, Rubin has fallen on hard times as many of the club's top players have departed to league rivals. Bibras Natkho and Roman Eremenko left for CSKA Moskva and Salomón Rondón went to Zenit St. Petersburg. After 13 years of service, Berdyev was sacked in 2013 and Rubin finished the 2013-14 campaign a miserable 9th place. Now Rinat Bilyaletdinov has been brought in to make Rubin a contender in the RFPL once more and get back into European competition.

Domestic Players (Russian Rule): To comply with RFPL standards regarding domestic players, Rubin Kazan must have 5 Russian players on the pitch at all times.

Transfer Targets: Rubin Kazan will employ scouts all over the world to find talent for the club. Particular leagues of interest will be the Barclays Premier League, La Liga, Ligue 1, the Bundesliga, and Serie A. However, other leagues will be looked at as well.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Liverpool restart coming out later. Starting from scratch with them, as I loaded up my save to do another update, the first in a while, but just couldn't get into what I'd done. This will be run evenly alongside Brentford as Gladbach is inconsistent due to having to wait for other peoples updates.

The Return of the Chairboys

September 2014

Really tough month, but the Capital One Cup helped to provide a highlight for you. If just a few breaks start going your way then you will start collecting points soon enough.

Inter Milan
Season 2
July & August 2015

Holy crap, that transfer fee for Leno. You put it to great use too bringing in DDG and several future superstars as well. Your team is set up to be beasting the competition in years to come.

AFC Bournemouth - Season 1

Sucks about the Capital One Cup, but Arsenal was never going to be an easy out. Always sucks when you get draws like that. Your Wilson combination is unstoppable right now though. If it's not one scoring it's usually the other. Makes for a pretty cool dynamic for you.

Valencia CF

Nice work in the transfer window. Picked up two solid keepers and Bacca and Iborra are fantastic players. Looking forward to how they fit into your squad. Hopefully they don't end up being one of those guys who just don't seem to work out.

FC Rubin Kazan
The Tatars

I love your Russian careers so I can't wait to see how this one turns out. Also love the realism you add by following the Russian League rules. Looking forward to seeing some new players I haven't heard of before.

Your Liverpool careers are always a favorite here. I'm impressed at how different you are able to make each of them too, even though it's the same club. Brendan Rodgers needed replacing anyway

I voted Fulham. Recently relegated with some good youth prospects on their team. Lots of ways you could go with a career there and build a solid future for the club.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

@Tex: I love the intro! It really made me get into the career, something I lacked when I did them. You seem well up for it though. The 5 year plan looks good and it gives you something to build towards but also restricts you in a good way.

@southernmetalhead: Likewise, a good intro, really gave me an insight to how they have struggled recently. Some areas of the team I would improve are CDM and RM. But I'm sure you knew that anyway. Good luck.

@Jamie: Woot! Liverpool always seems to be your best career, presumably because you support them. Looking forward to it.

@sportsfreak: I don't why but Chesterfield jumped out at me so I voted for them. Any career would be nice to read though. What was that Youth Series option?

Thanks! Yeah we just need that little touch of luck, or rub of the green as they say, to really break into the playoff spots and automatic promotion spots if we can get enough momentum. The COC victory was a nice uplifting win. In January or the summer, as I probably won't have enough funds, I think I'll need a striker, centre half, a winger or two and possibly a goalkeeper. (I'm hoping my GK in the academy can be ready by then.)

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

The last thing I want to see at this moment in time is Aguero go to Real Madrid, imagine the ego boost EA would have, as Aguero to Madrid is one of their many scripted transfers. If this happens, can pretty much guarantee we will still have scripted transfers in FIFA 16.

I don't see Agüero going anywhere. Especially if Benetiz becomes the new boss. It'll probably be a defender of defensive midfielder. Come to think of it Real haven't got a quality defensive minded midfielder for when Khedira. They looked in trouble too when Modric got injured. So probably someone good as cover for him.

I hope not, but if he does, they'll try to predict the future some more, the last thing anybody wants.

The youth series would have meant that I could only use academy players and regens.

I don't think Aguero is coming. He has a nice contract with City and RM haven't been linked to him during the last few days (never mind, I just checked the net after writing this line and apparently he's uncle Flo's main target. F*cking Perez). To be honest I don't even want him to join Real. Benzema is a good striker and he is enough for RM. Real should just promote someone from the academy and use him as a second-choice striker but that's not how the club (or just Perez) works.

Like you said Real really need to sign a defensive midfielder because there aren't any real DM's. Kroos isn't good enough as a DM and Illarra and Silva lack the quality to be a starter for a club like RM. Luckily Sami f*cking Khedira is leaving the club. A perfect player for the role would be Krychowiak. He's fast (the sprint against Messi), strong, defensive and aggressive. There are just two problems: someone needs to benched in order to make room for him and uncle Flo doesn't work that way. He will try to sign someone big who is hyped like Pogba or Verratti or RAHEEM F*CKING STERLING instead of someone the team needs.

Also, Blatter is resigning. Yay! Hopefully now FIFA will be a bit less corrupt.

Morata would have been perfect for a backup striker. Kroos has never been a defensive midfielder so I don't know why Real decided to play him there. He is a creative player. Pogba is a box to box player so he's not what you need and Verratti I don't think would fulfill that role very well either. I haven't seen Illra play much myself or that new kid Silva. I honestly don't know who would be a target for the position. Sterling is way over hyped imo. He had an average season. Tbh Jordon Ibe is just as good I think. I also don't know why he wants to leave Liverpool. Where else will he get regular football? Certainly not at the type of club he wants to go to. I doubt Rodgers will get £25+ for him but if he does, well then I'll be laughing. Let's hope the money isn't wasted like the Suárez money was.


Hurrah! Blatter is gone!

Hull City Reveal New Manager


After Steve Bruce stepped down at the end of last year Blue Eagle has been announced as the new manager of Hull City. Blue Eagle does not have much experience with his only managerial job was at A-League side Melbourne City, where he stepped down due to a falling out with the owner.

The American born manager started his career in the MLS as a player. He was then signed by Australian side Sydney FC when he was 24 and was their star player for several years before being brutally tackled and hurting his knee. After the injury he was never the same and retired at the age of 29. He was kept by Sydney as a coach for the first team. In 2010 he was offered the job to Manage Melbourne where he stayed until the end of 13/14 season. He is now beginning his career in Europe as Hull City manager.

My goal for this club is to play good football, win trophies and to be the club teams fear to play. It will take time but I believe we will be successful. We have some good players at the club with a mix of youngsters and veterans. I have lots of confidence in the players at the club and we should avoid relegation with easy if everything goes to plan.
