Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

That's the first thing I thought. Especially after the "Chicoitis" comment

My thoughts exactly, great minds think alike!

If it's the return of Sunderland I will virtually kiss you. I've been waiting for this for ages. If it's Newcastle, all the best. You'll never out-success me :P

Torbinskiy 15'
Česnauskis 17'
Ozdoev 42'
Dević 70'
Dević 86'

This was an emotional match as Rubin Kazan hosted FC Rostov, a side managed by Kurban Berdyev, who was Rubin's manager for 13 years before being sacked in 2013. Rostov opened quickly with a goal in the 15th minute by former Rubin player Dmitriy Torbinskiy who followed Berdyev to Rostov. Before Rubin knew what hit them, Rostov was on the board again in the 17th minute on a strike from Edgaras Česnauskis. Rubin would pull one goal back before halftime as Carlos Eduardo sent a cross into the box that Magomed Ozdoev volleyed by Rostov goalkeeper Stipe Pletikosa. The equalizing goal came in the 70th minute when Chris Mavinga dribbled into the box and found Marko Dević who slotted home his chance. The game looked destined for a draw, but Dević had some heroics left in him as he headed a chance in during the 86th minute to give Rubin a comeback win and all 3 points.

Navas 38'
Kanunnikov 53'
Musa 54'

Rubin Kazan traveled to the captial city of Moscow and the Arena Khimki to take on CSKA Moskva, and The Tatars were able to escape with a hard-fought 2-1 win. CSKA was dangerous early as Alan Dzagoev forced Rubin goalkeeper Sergey Ryzhikov to make a save in the 8th minute, and Seydou Doumbia hit the post in the 13th minute. Despite these chances, Rubin struck first in the 38th minute when César Navas used his 6'5 frame to head home a Gökdeniz Karadeniz corner. Rubin was clinical on set pieces as their second goal again came from a corner that Maxim Kanunnikov headed in. CSKA answered immediately as a Doumbia lob found Ahmed Musa, and the Nigerian didn't waste his chance, firing a shot into the back of the net in the 54th minute. That would be the last surge from either side for the rest of the match as Rubin was able to hold on for a very quality victory.

Dević 56'
Mullin 81'
Burlak (OG) 84'
RED - Anyukov 90'

Rubin Kazan pushed their winning streak to 3 games with another impressive victory against a quality side, this time prevailing over struggling Zenit St. Petersburg 2-1. The 1st half lacked quality chances, but Zenit goalkeeper Yuriy Lodygin did make saves on Carlos Eduardo in the 24th minute and César Navas in the 45th minute. Rubin thought they had went ahead in the 49th minute, but Blagoy Georgiev's shot rang off the post. In the 56th minute, Marko Dević stole the ball from Zenit defender Tomáš Hubočan and beat Lodygin for the opening goal. Dević came close to getting a brace in the 59th minute, but the post again denied Rubin. The Tatars however would double their lead in the 81st minute when Sergey Kislyak sent a cross into the box that Kamil Mullin headed into the back of the net. Zenit would feel the sting of the post in the 84th minute off of a Danny attempt, but the ball came back to the Portugal international, and his second shot went off Rubin defender Taras Burlak and in for an own goal. Zenit couldn't push for the equalizer though, and defender Alexandr Anyukov was sent off with a red card right before the whistle in the 90th minute.

Erokhin 6'
Sobolev 21'
Portnyagin 72'
Dzhalilov 90'

Up next for Rubin Kazan was a trip to Yekaterinburg to take on FC Ural Sverdlovsk Oblast. Despite their inability to again keep a clean sheet, Rubin's B-Team was able to notch a fourth consecutive win with a 3-1 triumph. Ural struck quickly when Edgar Manucharyan found Alexandr Erokhin in the 6th minute, and the Russian midfielder beat Alexandr Filtsov for the 1-0 lead. The 21st minute would see Rubin tie the game when Shota Bibilov connected with Vladimir Sobolev, who slotted a shot by Nikolay Zabolotnyy to make the score 1-1. Ural should have gone ahead in the 43rd minute when they were awarded a penalty after Rubin defender Solomon Kvirkvelia pulled down Alexandr Stavpets in the box. However, Gerson Acevedo's attempt went wide right, completely missing the target. Rubin then were denied a chance of their own when Sobolev hit the crossbar with a header in the 45th minute. Substitute Igor Portnyagin made an impact in the 72nd minute when he headed a Sergey Kislyak cross by Zabolotnyy to send Rubin ahead 2-1. Alisher Dzhalilov sealed the game in the 90th minute, when in his first game back from injury, the Russian attacking midfielder scored right before the final whistle for a 3-1 win.

Rubin Kazan Player of the Month



ST Marko Dević, 76 Ovr, Ukraine, 31 years old

It wasn't as big of a month as October when he scored 7 goals, but Ukrainian striker Marko Dević was good enough to pick up his third consecutive Player of the Month award for November. Dević registered a brace in a 3-2 win against FC Rostov, scoring the deciding goal in the 86th minute. He also found the back of the net against Zenit St. Petersburg, and still leads the RFPL in goals with 14.

Manager's Thoughts
An excellent month as we took all 12 points and beat two really quality sides in CSKA Moskva and Zenit St. Petersburg. Spartak Moskva had a draw and a loss in their last 2 games, so now we are in 1st place on goal differential. We weren't dominant, as 3 of our 4 wins came by just 1 goal, but we did enough to get the job done. Marko Dević continued to score timely goals, and our young domestic players came through when given the chance against FC Ural Sverdlovsk Oblast. I am however concerned that we haven't kept a clean sheet in our last 6 games. If the goals ever do begin to dry up, we need better goalkeeping and defense from our guys at the back. Still, I can't complain to much as we are on target for the club's third RFPL title and a spot in the Champions League.

Rubin Youth Academy
UNK Andrei Morchenko, 40-48 Ovr, 69-81 Pot, Russia, 15 years old

UNK Stepan Tverdovsky, 41-47 Ovr, 66-78 Pot, Russia, 16 years old
ATT Vladimir Meshkov, 43-47 Ovr, 73-81 Pot, Russia, 16 years old

Injuries Strike Again
We have again been hit by a rash of injuries this month as Maxim Kanunnikov was hurt in the CSKA Moskva game with a sprained ankle, and will be out for 4 weeks. The 23-year-old Russian is one of our top players with 6 goals in 11 appearances, so we will certainly miss him. Against FC Ural Sverdlovsk Oblast, Marko Livaja broke his elbow and will be out 2 months. The 21-year-old former Internazionale man has been displeased with his lack of playing time as he has 0 goals in 4 appearances.

December 2014 Fixtures
12/6 - vs Amkar
12/13 - at Dinamo
12/20 - at Amkar

The final month before the winter break and opening of the transfer window. We get a home-and-away match against 9th place Amkar Perm, and I expect to take the full 6 points from those matches. The trip to Moscow to face Dinamo Moskva could be tough as they are knocking on the door of a Europa League spot and have some quality players in Yuriy Zhirkov, Vladimir Gabulov, and Alexandr Kokorin. However, with our recent run of form, I'm confident we can beat anybody and Dinamo is no exception. If we can take the full 9 points this month, we will head into January still at the top of the RFPL table.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

I got my Fifa 16 team in mind already: They are Rivals with Crewe Alexandra and Chesterfield
They were just promoted from a lower league. And they were never in the FL until 2010

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

What's up guys. I've wanted to post on here for ages but I just haven't had the time (exams and stuff). However, after today I have finished all of them and I thought it was about time. If any of you recognise my name (and for those of you who don't) I used to post a couple of months ago (Crystal Palace, Cardiff, 1860 Munich). However, I have no idea which team to go with so I need your guys' help. Please could you vote on the straw poll below and help me decide which team I will post. I'm only going to give it a day or two because I am desperate to start posting.
Hopefully you guys enjoy what I will post in the next few weeks. It's hopefully gonna be fun

Man, welcome back. I remember your posts, didn't you do a Burnley one as well?

I voted 1860 because you didn't finish the project last time

Welcome back! I would LOVE either the Vitesse Arhnem, 1860 Munich, Bordeaux and Bohemians FC! In the end I chose 1860 because you already know their strengths/weaknesses to build upon straight away due to your previous CM.

I wanted to keep it a secret for a while but I was on the very edge of announcing an Irish team (which I've already chosen) which is put into league 2 and bring them to the premier league!

I voted for Bohemians because I've always wanted to do an Irish CM but never could get more than 2 months in before I quit it because It got tedious.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

So guys, I'd like to ask what I could do to improve the quality of my updates. I'm working on getting pictures like and, but it's a struggle because my laptop is crap and USB sticks don't work in it.

So, any improvements. What do you want? I'd like to get to the standard of Keano's presentation but I don't want to copy it outright.

So, tell me what you want to see in my updates and I'll see what I can do to incorporate it. I'm working on storylines and a "manager background," along with a write up similar to what Indiblue did with West Brom.

I'm working on the sliders for my Liverpool career to try and make it is as realistic as Moose's West Ham career, the rivalry with Regens and Cruzerr will continue soon, exams are over next week. Brentford will return soon as well, that one will remain as usual.

I'd also love to be able to put in the amount of detail ChicoBass and Texasbum and Southernmetalhead put into their updates. Also, to be able to put things up as consistently as Simppu and to be able to have new ideas like Cruzerr, Regens and Jagger would be great. The summer holidays will allow me to try and achieve all these aims.

This was also a way of saying the things I enjoy the most out of your career modes, sorry if I missed anyone, as I haven't really posted replies to anyone's updates recently. Sorry about that, just been really busy.

So, tell me what else I can do to improve in terms of presentation, details and features

[_ChicoBass]

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

I know it sounds really stupid but I have Chicoitis.

LMFAO!! Brilliant! It definitely is a curse though lol

Chico: What do you have to say about George Francomb? How was he in your Wimbledon career and what position/role did you use him in? Trying to gather some information on potential transfer targets.

He was awesome! Man it feels like forever ago though because I only got to use him for one or two seasons before he demanded a transfer and was sold to Ipswich Town I'm trying to remember and I think I used him in the center of midfield as the box to box, but I'm pretty sure I also used him out wide because when I signed Çamdal (remember him in 14 guys?) he was brought as Francomb's replacement to play RM. I think I used him in midfield until I discovered that Jack Midson (ST) was an awesome box to box even though it's not listed in his position slot, and then I began to use Francomb as RM where he continued to play really well. If I have time I'll try to go back to my early Wimbledon updates and see if reading through them helps refresh my memory. I know he was definitely a favorite of mine though because I always wanted to sign him back from Ipswich as I began to climb the divisions. He has much better potential now than in 14 so I imagine he would be an amazing signing!


I went out of town for the past two days for a concert and came back to about 100 posts to read! You guys are brutal man, but really interesting topics were covered. Simp, congratulations on being accepted into the program! You may think you regret it, but you've been talking about your plans for school for so long on here that I think that regret you're feeling is just a hint of self doubt. I've been listening - or more like reading - to you talk about your schooling for as long as I can remember so I know that it is what you want and what you've been striving for. Do not feel intimidated. You can do it man. That piece of paper you get at the end may not look like much, but it is a step towards being a commercial pilot. Use that anger you usually take out on your players and take it to the books!

I really enjoyed the topic on sliders, but unfortunately I'm not as cool as you guys and I'm on defaults I've recently began to experiment with the team's detailed tactics so that's a step in the right direction right? Lol that 100 first touch error sounds tempting! However I can't see myself playing 10 or 15 minute halves. I completely agree that it would greatly improve the game experience especially from the management standpoint, but I just don't think I would have the time for that especially since I play all my games. I'm also looking for holes in my schedule to get some FIFA time and I feel that with 10/15 minute halves one game would take up a a huge chunk of my free time unless it's on my days off. So, it's still 7 minute halves for me. Even though it's 7 minute halves I still take more than 15 minutes to finish a game so I can only imagine how much it would take me to finish a match with longer halves.

Indi really looking forward to your next announcement, but I'm not gonna lie I was looking forward to Newcastle. I was hoping to see the real life Santiago Munez in your squad (Chicharito!) haha
