How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

I can remember mine because it hasn't been that long, about five to ten years and because I have read some of my old kindergarden "interviews". I had some pretty basic boy ones, a cop, a firefighter and an F1-driver. Now it is something a lot different.



Nice to see that you decided to go with Union. Just don't beat Hertha, okay?



The PSN is still down because of the hacker attacks. I don't know if you heard but according to the media there were 13,000 leaked accounts with bank cards and passwords.

I am intrigued. What are your career goals now?

Simppu, I would gladly make that promise and take it easy on Hertha, but after you siding with MK Dons during the war I am not sure I can. I think you owe me one actually so I can't say I won't try to humiliate Hertha.
**Union is in Bundesliga 2 so I'm sure Hertha will actually give me a tough time especially if I face them in my first season.

Really? I haven't read anything that. Last I read was that the hackers just flooded the server with fake users and it caused the servers to crash. Then with all the people trying to log back in to the server after it crashed only made it worse. They say PSN is back online but I still can't log on.

Jamie any luck with your PSN?

... Liam Neeson is a bad***

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Yeah, I'm still deciding whether to have 1 or 2 up front and whether to have CDMs or CMs. Depending on whether I choose the CDMs or CMs I'll need to get a good one in January. I also want to get a pacey striker.

I would go with two midfielders, in your case with Britton and Ki. 4-2-3-1 works well with Swansea and you can use all of the best players like that.

I suggest Danny Ings. He's English, rated at 72, young and he has only a year left on his contract so you should get him for under three million. Ings is the only one that comes to my mind but you should scout for first team quality players with a year left on their contract or use sofifa.

Well, uhm, I don't really like talking about it because the reaction is often something in the lines of "Dude, are you serious?". But anyhow, my dream job is being a commercial pilot. I still have four years left of thinking so I could still change it but for the last year I have wanted to be a pilot and I'm directing my studies in that direction.

I'm sure I helped you somehow in a way that I don't owe you. Or if you really want I will give you permission to beat them once. Just once.

So the 2 CDMs then. Britton is actually injured at the minute so I've been wondering between Canas and Shelvey (he is currently CAM) and putting Sigurdsson in the CAM role. I was also looking at Ings so I mind move for him in January.

I haven't used Cañas so I don't know who would be better but I suggest using Sigurdsson only as a CAM. He was great for me and I hope he does well for you, as well.

Berahino could be another good signing but if you're using the default squads he probably won't be that good. My best advice is to look for players on sofifa.

Match 4
Swansea 5-3 Southampton
SWA - Bony 5' 13' 48' 51' Gomis 64'
SOU - Long 50' Tadic 71' Schneiderlin 76'

MOTM: Wilfied Bony

Emmes had his shot saved and Bony tapped in the rebound. Shelvey slipped Bony in 10 minutes later and he slid it under the onrushing Forster. A bad tackle on Emmes in the 23nd minute meant he went off with a sprained ankle to be replaced by Gomis. Bony finished a counter attack goal poking it over Forster to complete his hat trick. Our defense was cut open and Long had an easy finish. Bony responded with another goal a minute later. Dyer won the ball back by the corner flag and pulled it back to Gomis for number 5. Tadic scored a wonderful free kick from the edge of the D. Schneiderlin tapped in a rebound from his shot. A very high scoring game. (Was on Professional)

Marvin Emmes is out for 4 weeks with a sprained ankle.


Capital One Cup Round 3
Swansea 2-1 Preston
SWA - Fulton 18' Gomis 114'
PRE - Garner 84'

MOTM: James Loveridge

Hayes fielded a younger team to give them some experience in this Cup match. The Preston Goalkeeper skied his clearence from a back pass and Fulton headed it in from the edge of the box. In the 50' minute Britton hit the crossbar from 30 yards when the keeper made another terrible clearence. Donnelly got a bruised shoulder and was replaced by Gomis. Britton then sprained his knee and Sigurdsson came on. Garner equalized to bring it to extra time. Loveridge picked the ball up on the D and put Gomis through who held off the defender and scored. Tighter than we would have liked but we are through to the next round against Southampton.

Leon Britton will be out for 4 weeks.
Rory Donnelly will be out for 9 days.


Match 5
Sunderland 1-1 Swansea
SUN - Rodwell 76'
SWA - Bony 85'

MOTM: Lukasz Fabianski

A trip to the Stadium of Light was up next for Bony and Co as we looked to make it a 3rd consecutive victory in all competitions. Just before halftime Sigurdsson got a sprained knee and was replaced by Canas. Sunderland struck first through Rodwell after Fletcher played him in. Bony replied for us 5 minutes from time. Canas gave the ball to him on the edge of the box and he went down the outside of Bridcutt turned back inside and placed it into the far corner. Dyer had a chance to win it in stoppage time but the angle was too great for him to finish.

Gylfi Sigurdsson is out for 3 weeks with a sprained knee.

Q. What are your thoughts on the month?

A. It was quite good in my opinion. We beat a very good Southampton team at home and the young lads did well against Preston in the Cup deserving to win in normal time. The draw against Sunderland was unfortunate but the Stadium of Light is a tough place to visit and we did well to come away with a point.

Q. Wilfried Bony scored 5 goals this month and has been in great form. How much is your success is down to him?

A. Listen Wilfried has been in great form but our success is down to the team. They create the chances and we are lucky enough to have someone of his quality up top who can finish them.

Q. You have a tough month ahead especially visiting Stamford Bridge in your first game. How do you think that you will do?

A. I think we are well capable of getting 9 points out of 12 this month. Chelsea are a great team and even more so at home but we aren't afraid of them or anyone for that matter.

Q. There have been rumors of you moving for Danny Ings or Saido Berahino in the upcoming window. Are these rumors true?

A. Now for that you'll have to wait until January.

Glory Glory Man United


April 2016


Manchester United 2 - 0 QPR
Nani 69', Chicharito 88'


Champions League Quarter Final
Manchester United

Spoiler

(1) 1 - 1 (3)

FC Barcelona

Spoiler

Rooney 13'
Neymar 65'

The first leg of the quarter final ended in Barcelona's favour with a score of two goals to one. Manchester United had an away goal and they knew that all they needed to advance was a victory by one goal. The manager Corleone changed the formation for this game and he fielded a 4-3-3.
The home team tried to equlise the game starting from the first minutes and they succeeded a few minutes after the ten minute mark when the captain Wayne Rooney cut in from the left and curled the ball into the bottom right corner which meant that his team was going through to the semi finals. This lead to Manchester United parking the buss and defending their lead and they succeeded in that until the hour mark. Dani Alves crossed the ball into the box and from all players Neymar got to the end of it to head it from behind Marcos Rojo to get the lead on aggregate. The Red Devils did everything to equalise the game but Cladio Bravo was once again on the top of his game and his team eliminated the English team they had faced in 2011 for the last time.


Tottenham Hotspur 0 - 1 Manchester United
Nani 72'

Manchester United basically needed to get all three points from every game they played to keep up with Chelsea and they almost failed in that against Tottenham. United dominated the game and even though Assou-Ekotto got sent off in the 19th minute they didn't manage to get the ball into the net. At the end the substitute Nani scored the winner after he played a one-two with Chicharito to lose his marker before curling the ball into the bottom right corner.


Liverpool 1 - 4 Manchester United
Lambert 7'
Chicharito 10', 21', van Persie 45', Di Maria 89'

Surprisingly both of the Liverpool-Man United games this season were played when United was managed by Corleone. The manager kept his 100% record in this game after a tough seven minutes in which Antonio Valencia's bad passback lead to Lambert scoring. Javier Hernandez didn't feel like losing and he equalised the game only a few minutes later with a finess shot. Ten minutes later he gave his team the lead by cutting in from the left flank and shooting the ball into the bottom right corner. Right before half time Robin van Persie ended his scoring drought which lasted six games from a counter attack. Angel Di Maria then finished the last goal in the last minutes of the game from another counter attack.


FA Cup Semi Final
Manchester United (3) 1 - 1 (4) Chelsea, After Penalties
Rooney 45'
Benzema 56'

These two big teams, who are also competing for the league title, faced each other in the FA Cup semi final. Both of the league games between the two teams resulted in draws and both teams wanted to win this game. Both teams played well in the game but Manchester United got the lead in stoppage time when Wayne Rooney shot a free kick into the top right corner of the net. Only ten minutes later Chelsea's Karim Benzema equlised with a powerful near post shot. The game then went into extra time where Benzema managed to miss a penalty. Then the penalty shoot out started which Chelsea won after Samir Handanovic saved two penalties to save his team from elimination.


Nottingham Forest 0 - 3 Manchester United
Vidal 11', Di Maria 56', Chicharito 72'


Manchester United 3 - 0 Stoke City
Di Maria 28', 84', Chicharito 42'


Player of the Month



Chicharito

The Mexican striker picks his second player of the month award in a row after good and consistent performances in the past. When Manchester United switched to a 4-3-3 in the beginning of the month Chicharito got more playing time because he was used as a winger. He scored a big amount of five goals this month and he assisted three goals, as well.

Press Conference


You had a perfect month in the league and you were first for a couple of days. How do you think you did in the league?

We did very nicely. Some games were a bit too close, the Spurs one for example, but the most important thing is that the won all of them and got past Chelsea. Right now they are leading but we have a game in hand and it's against Newcastle who I think we can beat. Our goal difference is finally better and we are facing only midtable teams in May. I think the league title will be ours.


Chelsea eliminated you from the FA Cup. Does this make you even hungrier for the league title?

Of course it does. The Premier League is the only competition we are still competing in and it's the only one that we can still win. It sucked to lose in the semi final to Chelsea on penalties but they were just better at them. I still think we should've won that game but it wasn't meant to be. The only good thing in that loss is that we can concentrate completely on the league and we don't need to rotate the squad. I think that in the remaining games we were use fifteen players because only they are good enough to play.


Did it hurt to draw with Barcelona and to get eliminated from the Champions League?

Of course it did. It was even more terrible because we were leading the game for an hour before, surprise surprise, our defenders failed at something, this time at marking a player, and Neymar equalised the game. After that we had few good chances but once again Bravo was playing very well. I must admit that I don't think we can win the Champions League with the squad we have now. We need at least three or four new players.


Why did you decide to switch to a 4-3-3?

Because diamond in midfield wasn't working too well. Players were out of position, the strikers were getting isolated and we didn't use the wings well enough. With the 4-3-3 we have fast players running down the wings, a good striker up top and a midfield of three players who are good passers and who work a lot on the pitch. We are playing better with it, at least for now.



Thank you for reading this post! I hope you have enjoyed it! Any feedback or suggestions will be appreciated!

Nice work against Southampton (even though it was on professional) and good that you progressed in the cup. That draw against Sunderland sucks. If only Dyer had finished the chance... You are having terrible luck with injuries. Hopefully they don't ruin your upcoming months. I would be very annoyed if I had a game in hand and chance to climb to the top four and the game in hand was against Chelsea from all teams. Good luck against them, though!

I was really annoyed Dyer couldn't finish that chance. Things would've looked very different with those extra 2 points. Injuries I have been unlucky with. They should be coming back soon though. Also a sneak peek, Chelsea destroyed me completely.

@ManU: Good month in the league! A game in hand on Chelsea at the top. Sickening loss on pens to Chelsea in the Cup, very unlucky. Barca are Barca I guess, well done on getting that far though!

@Jamie: I've heard he is a very good scout.
