    Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

    Rabbit: Rough month there Rabbit! You're still in the pack for a playoff spot which is still good going for your first season in the Championship. Alot of that is down to Ambrose and his incredible goalscoring form. The win against City has to be the highlight of the month, can it happen again against Chelsea? Props to you for having so many youth players in your squad too, really impressive. Martella should be a future star.

    Indi: Outstanding season! Antonio and Veldwijk were immense, such a shame that he couldn't keep it up in the Prem. Antonio though, certainly looks like he's comfortable playing at that level. Like the signings, a mix of experience and young talent like Cattermole and Narsingh. Looking forward to what you can do following your decent start.

    SMH: You kind of hit that March wall but have done well enough to keep your lead at the top and get to the final of the cup which is a great achievement. Let's see what you can do next season in Serie A.

    Simp: Good idea on moving up to legendary as you've been doing exceedingly well to get to second. You were as ruthless as ever in the transfer window, dumping Wagner and bringing in Selke who should be very good in the future.

    Cabee: Some very good moves in the market. Offloading some deadwood and strengthening the team. I'm looking forward to seeing RLC playing next season! You are building a formidable squad over on Tyneside!

    Tex: I like the new format and constant tinkering! Cole seems to be rolling back the years and turning in good performances recently. As is Murphy on the wing. You're sitting nicely in the table and there's a couple of nice pieces in the academy to look forward too.

    I hope I haven't missed anyone out!

      Season 1

      The Sky Blues

      December 2015



      Back to the confines of our own stadium. We build our walls up around garrison and get ready to defend our home field against top of the table Millwall who hold a 1 point advantage over us. The fans are excited and are ready to see us regain our spot at the top, but this won't be an easy one. Millwall run the same flat 4-4-2 that we came up against with S****horpe last match. We keep our shape and tactics the same, but we bring Armstrong, Jones, Taylor, and Stephens back into the XI after they got a much needed rest from the quick succession of matches that rounded out our end of last month. We are rested, we are prepared, and we are motivated.

      Coventry City 1 - 0 Millwall FC
      COV - Armstrong 64'
      MOTM: Johnson


      And defend it we did! Millwall came prepared and brought the game to us. They had a slight edge in possession and nearly matched us shot for shot, but the defense was ready. Johnson in the middle of the defense was a man possessed winning tackle after tackle and clearing anything that got sent through the air. It was a magnificent performance for the man wearing the armband in place of the injured Vincelot. We may have found ourselves a new leader to take us through the next month without him. The breakthrough came with Jones getting the ball out wide and he cross hit the ground in the middle for Armstrong to pounce on for the winner. But once the match was over the news reached us that Johnson was going to miss the next 3 weeks with a sprained ankle. And just like that, the man we found to step into the armband was now out as well. The world seems to be working against us this season.



      Ah yes, it's that time of the year again and we prepare to begin our F.A. Cup campaign for this season. The football gods have seemed to actually smile on us for once though and we get to open it up at home. Our players are pretty exhausted though so we are forced to make whole sale changes and run out the reserves in this one. We learned from our J. Paint failure though that we have to be careful and not take anything for granted against a lower league side. Exeter runs a 4-1-4-1 and we opt to keep our formation the same and match their midfield numbers while keeping two holding midfielders as a cautionary measure so we don't let this one slip away.

      Coventry City 3 - 1 Exeter City
      COV - Lameiras 50', Thomas 65', Armstrong 76'
      EXE - Hoskins 56'
      MOTM: Hunt


      We put Olejnik to work early and often, forcing him to make 4 first half saves highlighting our ineffectiveness in the final third. It took a wonder strike to finally break through when Lameiras volleyed an incoming corner into the top corner. Finally we broke through, and we were riding high having controlled the entire match so far. And since we can't have nice things, Hoskins equalized for Exeter with a wonder strike of his own from outside the box. But something changed. It was like their goal woke up the team and it was less than 10 minutes later we took the lead again through a goal by Conor Thomas, wearing his helmet and all. And then not long after Lameiras set up Armstrong on the back post for a great finish and we held out the rest of the way to avoid seeing ourselves fall out of a cup once again.



      Off we go to Walsall and even though we gave our key players a rest last match, we are forced to rest many of them again since we have our Capital One quarter final against Norwich just three days after this trip. We try to find a balance of reserves and first choice players to keep us competitive for both matches and as a result we are going to have several players who have rarely played together out there. Murphy, Gadzhev, Rose, Lorentzson, and Leutwiler are all back in and many of them are workhorses who will likely be able to go in the Norwich game as well, but we will be sure to monitor their fitness levels closely. Walsall run an interesting 4-4-1-1 that functions much like those flat 4-4-2 formations but with a CAM acting as an off striker instead of a pairing up front. We stick with the 4-2-3-1 and the only adjustment we make to the tactics are telling Henderson to stay central and act as a target man as compared to Armstrong's instructions to drift out wide.

      Walsall FC 1 - 1 Coventry City
      WAL - Manton 2'
      COV - Henderson 33'
      MOTM: Demetriou


      What an ugly match that was. They caught us out early and scored with a header just two minutes after the opening kick off. After that they proceeded to just start kicking us at every chance they got and the referee never once put the whistle to his mouth in our favor. Loretnzson and Gadzhev were both victims to the abuse as they both went down at some point with injuries. Luckily we were able to find an equalizer when Maddison broke down their defense and set up Henderson for the equalizer. After that we were just lucky to get out of there with our limbs in tact, not to mention with the point as well. Gadzhev will be forced to miss the next 3 weeks while Lorentzson will be sidelined for just 1.



      Walsall hacked two of our starters out of the game so we will be without Lorentzson and Gadzhev for this one. So we travel to Norwich for the quarter finals with what feels like just the players who are healthy enough to still walk. Norwich runs a 4-2-3-1 like what we've been running the past few matches so we decide to switch it up and invert the midfield to have one at the base and shift them all forward. We bring in the best XI we can field this time after giving some key players a rest and we know we have to match Norwich man for man in the midfield and try to win the attacking game against them with smart movement. We had the chance to knock out Bournemouth earlier in the cup, so we know it is possible for us to win this match. Even though we lost a few men and we are on the road, we press on.

      Capital One Cup Quarter Final
      Norwich City (3) 0 - 0 (4) Coventry City
      MOTM: Leutwiler

      In what has seemingly become a war of attrition for us, Joe Cole took a knock early, but having put on the captain's armband for this one, there was no way he was going to let me take him off so on he went. Both sides traded chances all night, but the defenses were at the top of their games and nothing was allowed through. We went toe to toe with them and the game was destined for penalties. They got to kick first and Hoolahan scored with a cheeky chip down the middle. Armstrong matched it with his shot and then we got the edge when Leutwiler made a save on Dorrans shot right after. Fleck kept our advantage when he converted and Mbokani kept Norwich in reach with another chip down the middle. Joe Cole used a stutter in his run up and finished it and we gained an even bigger edge with Leutwiler saving Howson's shot meaning all we had to do was score to win. Jones was next up and it was like clockwork that we saw his shot saved followed by Martin with another shot down the middle that beat Leutwiler. Were we really going to give this one away after our keeper making two huge saves? Of course not, Murphy stepped to the spot and with one kick of the ball he was twirling away to run towards his teammates as we celebrated moving on to the semi-finals. I don't know how, but I can't wait til the next time I walk into the board room and see the smiles on those smug old bastard's faces. I may have not been the first choice at manager but I am proving to them that I was THE choice.



      That was a big one and even though the hangover from the celebrations may still be lingering, we have to get back at it. At least I can run training with sunglasses on and I also control the terrible sound of the whistle too. Next up is Rochdale and they run the exact same formation as Norwich rolled out against us and I was more than happy with the performance so the formation stays the same. We only have two changes in the line up and Maddison is on for Joe Cole and Sam Ricketts comes on for Aaron Martin. The game plan stays the same and even though Maddison isn't quite at the level that Cole has been at this season, we expect him to fill the same role for this one.

      Coventry City 2 - 0 Rochdale AFC
      COV - Taylor 9', Armstrong 62'
      MOTM: Leutwiler


      And on we march! Taylor opened it early wearing the captain's armband in this one and he scored a stunning goal flicking it up over his head and into the corner. There seems to be something about the armband for us that seems to get whoever puts it on to step up. They got the better share of the chances after that though, but Leutwiler stood tall in between the sticks keeping everything out. Armstrong added a second after the half with Maddison setting him up and I could just tell that the crowd can feel that this can be a special season.



      Our success continues and even though we haven't even reached Christmas yet I can't help but feel good about the outlook for this year. The board came to me and told me to win the league. I thought they were crazy, but maybe there was a method to their madness after all. Next we travel to Shrewsbury who are sitting 23rd in the table. This should be an easy one, but of course there are no guarantees in football. Shrewsbury run a 5-3-2 formation with the two defenders on the outside acting as wingbacks. This of course leaves their wings open for our attack and we will try to catch their wingbacks out of position when they venture up field. We match their numbers in the midfield with a 4-5-1 and the only changes in personnel are Joe Cole coming back in and Reida Johnson making his return from injury and taking the captain's armband back as well.

      Shrewsbury Town 0 - 0 Coventry City
      MOTM: Leutwiler

      And just like that, we walk away with a point from a match that should have been an easy win. I would try to take some positives from this, but I would be hard pressed to find any. Everyone that I sent out there seemed to be completely useless. It looks like even when we are riding high, there is still room to get knocked back down.



      Despite that rather terrible performance, we have to move on. Next up is Swindon, last place in the league, and we are away for the second straight match. Normally I would feel pretty good about this one, but last match has tempered that confidence. Still, if there is a game designed to let us end the month on a high note, this is the one. Swindon run a 4-4-2 narrow diamond so we pack the midfield as well with a 4-5-1, but the key will be the use of our wide players to rampage up and down their empty wings. Lameiras comes on for Jones in one of those critical wing positions, and Maddison and Thomas replace Cole and Rose to complete the midfield. We change out both of our outside defenders as well but keep the central pairing the same.

      Swindon Town 1 - 2 Coventry City
      SWI - Williams 84'
      COV - Maddison 6', Murphy 21'
      MOTM: Lameiras


      And right away we got back to playing the right kind of football. A Lameiras cross was met with a great header by Armstrong for the early lead, and Murphy added a second not much later with Lameiras setting it up once again. After that we kept the pressure up, but more or less coasted the rest of the way for the win. I took off Reida Johnson to give him a rest, and almost immediately they added a goal to cut the lead in half making me question my choice there. Luckily it didn't make a difference and Johnson got some much needed rest in the end.

      Youth Academy

      Our scout's first month in Scotland came to an end and lo and behold he might have found us a gem! Greg Fox joins us from the land of William Wallace and it's another defensive prospect added to our academy. Fox still has some developing to do, but he looks like he could be a special player in the future. We will have to keep a close eye on him to see if he can live up to our expectations, but for now I owe our scout a drink.

      Greg Fox - 17 years old, Scotland, CB, 50 OVR, 77-94 POT
      Amari'i Seager - 15 years old, England, CB, 57 OVR, 65-77 POT
      Matthew Cox - 15 years old, England, LB, 51 OVR, 65-79 POT

        FIFA 15 - Season 10 (2023/2024)

        QPR | 0-1 | Newcastle

        9’ Campbell

        26’, 69’ Vučkić || 36’ Ouaamar (Thauvin) || 85’ Seager

        MotM
        : Haris Vučkić (7.7)



        Capital One Cup Semi Finals (10/01)
        Derby County | 0-2 | Newcastle Utd

        33’ van Ooijen || 90’+1’ Ayala

        MotM
        : Daryl van Ooijen (8.1)



        Barclays Premier League (13/01)
        Newcastle | 2-1 | Tottenham

        41’ Ayala || 55’ Compton || 71’ Seager (Ameobi)
        55’ Paulinho (PEN)


        An Ayala with a knock utilised the counter attack to execute a superb lob over Lloris for the opening goal of the match after which an unconvincing Spurs side (in which Haïdara was in) played the majority of the match. They had a few chances just before the red card too. A poor challenge by an already booked Compton saw him sent off just before the hour mark. Some shuffling around and we were still solid defensively and used the counter attack to get the winning goal with half an hour remaining.

        MotM
        : Jesús Sanchez Ayala (8.6)



        Barclays Premier League (21/01)
        Crystal Palace | 1-2 | Newcastle Utd

        71’ Bilate
        3’, 73’ Hajrović

        MotM
        : Sammy Ameobi (7.7)

        Newcastle Utd | 1-2 | Derby County
        (3-2)

        53’ Campbell (Ashton)
        65’ M.Bennett
        || 71’ G.Thorne

        Our COC Final is against Arsenal.

        MotM
        : George Thorne (9.7)



        F.A Cup Round 4 (27/01)
        Norwich City | 0-3 | Newcastle Utd

        11’, 61’ Gallego || 78’ Hajrović

        MotM
        : Rubén Muñiz Gallego (8.3)



        February


        Barclays Premier League (04/02)
        Leeds United | 1-6 | Newcastle Utd

        65’ D.Wilson
        8’ Spajić (Muñoz)
        || 18’, 22’, 57’ Seager || 32’ Compton (PEN) || 90’ Guidetti (Ayala)

        After a busy transfer window, we fielded Voest and Muñoz as starting debutants. Muñoz ruled the midfield with his work rate and passing accuracy whilst also providing a sweet corner in the 8th minute for Spajić for the opening goal. Because of the transfers, I chose a 4-4-1-1 with Seager and Sanogo up front which worked perfectly. In the 18th minute, a Thauvin breakaway saw Seager bullet a low cross into the back of the net. Four minutes later a Sanogo header is directed to Seager across goal who managed to head the ball for the third.

        Just after the half an hour mark, Hajrović is tripped in the box which allowed Compton to send the keeper the wrong way for the fourth followed by another Seager goal.

        Only seven minutes after coming on, John Guidetti gets his head onto the end of an Ayala cross for Newcastle’s sixth and last goal of the game.

        MotM
        : Jake Seager (8.7)

        Debutants (Rating and Minutes Played): Joris Voest (6.3, 90’), Muñoz Muñoz (7.2, 67’), Ulrich Besle (6.3, 33’), John Guidetti (N/A, 7’)



        Barclays Premier League (07/02)
        Newcastle | 1-0 | Liverpool

        52’ Ling (Ameobi)
        We set out once again with a 4-4-1-1 which sees us get our payback for the earlier loss at Anfield. A low cross from Ameobi finds the man of the match Paul Ling who slips the ball into the bottom corner. John Guidetti started and had a bicycle kick hit the post whilst Ulrich Besle started and played decently in one of the two central midfield slots.

        MotM
        : Paul Ling (7.5)

        Debutants (Rating and Minutes Played): Paul Ling (7.5, 90’)


        After a 2-0 defeat at home to Southampton, Exeter City sack Matt Oakley and reach out to former manager Cabee with a contract offer


        Barclays Premier League (10/02)
        Newcastle | 3-2 | Arsenal

        22’, 68’, 90’ +2’ Sanogo
        4’ Walcott
        || 58’ Griezmann
        We reverted back to the 4-3-3 which looked to be a mistake within the first five minutes due to a simple ball over the top finding Walcott who finishes neatly with the outside of his right boot for the opening goal.


        Jores Okore and Paul Konko both compete for the header, ultimately getting in each other’s way which allows Sanogo to pounce on the dropping ball and smashing it past Szczęsny from close range.

        MotM
        : Yaya Sanogo (9.5)


        Exeter City secure 3-0 home win over 15th placed Everton under caretaker manager.

          Sorry to let you all know that I won't be updating further on Forest or any career on FIFA16 thanks to this game-breaking patch. It's way too late in the game's life cycle for me to be testing out new sliders. So in the meantime, I will be keeping an eye on preseason and transfers to figure out my first FIFA17 career mode team. Hope you guys understand!

            Is there no way to uninstall the patch? They should make the patch a choice if you want it or not imo.

              I didn't want to say it but I'm extremely annoyed by the change in game play too, it's not something you want to be dealing with in the closing months of the seasons

                  Most noticeably for me the CPU got very good at intercepting the ball then hanging on to it for a while. I've read that there's been an issue with fullbacks but I haven't noticed yet but I'm paying attention for that now

                    This. Pretty sure pace dynamics have also changed.

                      can't fault you for giving up on it I've been pretty close to it myself but I adjuster my sliders a bit and have been able to continue for now. The bigger issue for me is '17 coming soon and deciding whether to skip it altogether and continue to run these CM's or halting them and starting new ones with '17

                        That really sucks! I personally haven't played FIFA in many days due to being extremely busy with what could be called working, and because of that I haven't been able to try the game out with the new patch. That's also the reason why I haven't posted anything in quite some time. Hopefully you manage to find a suitable set of sliders soon!


                        I'll leave you all some feedback over the weekend or during the first couple of days of next week as I finish linesman-ing in a tennis tournament on Sunday!

                          Terp - is this Real Sociedad CM of yours a myth?


                          Tex - I think right now you and I are the ones playing most heavily. It cracks me up to see your 3-2 game against Wigan because I just finished a game against them with the same score (but did I win or lose?). The loss at Southend didn't surprise me because they're good and nobody ever notices, though maybe you got caught getting too cute with the 3-5-2 since you beat them later in the COC with ease. I thought after a shaky October you might fall in the standings but there you were at the top. November rolled around and y'all showed some resiliency with consecutive 1-goal wins but you had to settle for a draw to close out the month and Millwall did what you couldn't (run the table) to jump to the top of the standings. But even with that you were within striking distance and when Millwall came to your turf you protected the house and got a big win, and even though you didn't have a perfect month you created a nice lead at the top of the table heading into the transfer window while moving to the semis of the COC, no small achievement for a League 1 team. But can you pull off that run? I guess we'll see.

                          Keano - nice to see that Accrington CM back. No shame in losing to Arsenal (on the road) in the quarters of the F.A. as a League 2 side. You made them sweat and I bet fans noticed you're at Acrrington ready to make some noise, which is what you're doing in the league play. Notts County is a good squad so it'll be fun to see if you can hold them off for the league title but it looks like direct promotion is not in doubt.

                          And yes it was a rough month at Newport, it's been a rough second half really, but yea in context the fact that I'm nearly cemented in the top 6 is great for my first season in the Championship. It just sucks to know I could be doing better. You almost take Ambrose for granted at this point, when you read his stats in a roster review you'll be even more impressed. I wasn't looking forward to the MCFC game due to the poor form but we pulled that off and we improve that before we face Chelsea! Thanks for the props on the academy guys, I wish Martella was further along ... I have to be patient.

                          Cabee - I'd say a very casual transfer window you had, impressive considering the lack of financial support from the club. I especially dig the Guidetti acquisition, he's not a world beater but should be useful in a two-strike formation. You're having a really good season (congrats on the COC title) and although it seems like a greedy goal you're still in play for a quadruple which would be awesome. The Exeter teasers crack me up, no way you go back in my mind (right? RIGHT?)

                            March



                            Barclays Premier League (02/03)
                            Manchester City | 1-1 | Newcastle Utd

                            10’ Hiwula || 49’ Whittall

                            23’ Sanogo
                            We were outclassed even when City went down to ten men. Hiwula scored a free-kick that should really have been saved by O’Hara and a shot with the outside of the foot by Sanogo saw us level up the game but everything was very lacklustre.

                            MotM
                            : Yaya Sanogo (6.9)

                            Jan Navratil will be out for 3 weeks with a sprained ankle.





                            Europa League Round of 16 (07/03)
                            Olympique Lyon | 0-1 | Newcastle Utd

                            F.A. Cup Quarter Final (10/03)
                            Newcastle Utd | 2-0 | Southampton
                            78’, 87’ Ashton

                            This particular F.A. Cup quarter final was particularly boring for the majority of the game. The only chance worth noting up until the goals was a Yaya Sanogo header that hit the crossbar and a potential penalty shout from Southampton. Yaya Sanogo was also taken off the pitch with a suspected broken ankle early in the second half. With half an hour left, Bigirimana is taken off and replaced by Andy Ashton who eight minutes later converts a Hajrović corner into the first goal of the match with a superb header.

                            With three minutes left of regulation time, Ashton breaks through the defence impressively and toe-pokes the ball past Asmir Begović with his weaker foot to advance us through into the semi finals where we face Liverpool.

                            MotM
                            : Andy Ashton (8.0)


                            Yaya Sanogo has broken his ankle and will most likely be out for the rest of the season.

                            52’ Gerkens (og) || 61’ Guidetti
                            28’ Honeyman


                            28 minutes through Ryan Honeyman slides through the back of Muñoz Muñoz who twists his ankle badly in the challenge. The ref gives the Swansea holding midfielder a red card and thankfully Muñoz is able to get and walk around without much of a limp.Maxime Gerkens tries to clear a cross directed to the near post by Hajrović 7 minutes after the break but the ball is just too high for him to get solid contact and instead flicks off the top of his head which sends it up and over the keeper. John Guidetti manages to slip the ball past keeper Sebastian Mielitz for the second and last goal of the match with just under 30 minutes left.

                            MotM
                            : Izet Hajrović (7.3)

                            Andy Ashton has suffered a hyper extended knee and will be out for 4 weeks.




                            Barclays Premier League (10/04)
                            Newcastle | 1-4 | Chelsea

                            36’ Ayala
                            13’ Piazon
                            || 25’ Cuvillier || 62’ Hazard || 65’ Aguero

                            Well... Chelsea went off to a flying start with two successive goals; Piazon made a total fool of O’Hara by rounding the 18-year-old keeper and sticking the ball into the back of the net and then Cuvillier is given too much space on the edge of the area which he takes advantage of to put Chelsea two up. Ayala brings one back after a mix up in the Chelsea defence but ultimately Hazard burst through the defence with superb dribbling skills to slot the ball into the bottom corner just after the hour mark and 3 minutes later, Aguero finds himself the man over and sticks the ball into the back of the net from close range.

                            Unfortunately, Arsenal won in their game against Spurs 3-2 and we’ve taken a hit to our goal difference whist means Arsenal are ahead by 3 points and have a 4 better goal difference than us. We’ve sealed a Champions League place which is definitely a positive. Chelsea could have just ruined our hopes of becoming unlikely champions though...we can’t afford to be so poor in our remaining games.

                            Conor Compton is thankfully back in training as we have no other right backs (I either have to play Gosling, Herrera or Santon there without Compton).

                            It's the Chelsea curse that srikes again!

                            F.A Cup Semi Final (14/04)
                            Newcastle | 1-2 | Liverpool

                            33’ Guidetti (Angella) || 88’ Lascelles
                            63’ Nascimento || 68’ Hamšik

                            With Liverpool’s 61% possession they were doing poorly in the first half. We had chances but only 5 of our 12 shots were actually on target which summed up Guidetti and Ling’s day.

                            Just after half an hour we were ahead after Angella broke through on the left to pull the ball back to Guidetti who took his time to slot the ball into the bottom corner with composure.


                            The Liverpool goals were a blur, they felt like they were two goals in two minutes and we had the stuffing knocked out of us. We had the game in our grasp and didn’t even fight to win that hold back once we’d lost it. I sincerely hope we’re not going to make a habit of this. I’m not used to walking off the pitch with boos ringing in my ears.

                            || 14’ Gallego

                            We concede an early goal within ten minutes but only a minute later, Angella bursts through on the left delivering the cross for a Seager header from close range. After fourteen minutes, a Hajrović cross cleared to the edge of the box where Gallego flicks the ball upwards before sweetly striking it on the volley which bounces under Lloris’ outstretched hand before nestling into the back of the net but once again we concede through a sloppy Mitrović tackle which allows Cristian Ceballos to send O’Hara the wrong way for the equaliser.

                            We have to two away goals which means Tottenham will be the ones pressing for a goal in the second leg.

                            With a bore draw, this means that Newcastle are four points behind Arsenal but do have a game in hand to bring the gap to only one point depending on how their game goes against Bolton.

                            25’ Villalba


                            Absolutely world class by Héctor Villalba! He receives a bouncing ball from Townsend; the striker’s back is toward goal but all he has to do to get past the defence is flick the ball over his head and then flick the ball over the rushing O’Hara for the opening goal.

                            9 minutes later, Sandro loses the ball on the half way line to Paul Ling. Ling sprints up the field, withstanding the constant pressure and shirt tugging to place the ball into the top right corner for the equaliser and potentially the winning goal.

                            In his first game back, the man Conor Compton receives the ball far out on the right from an Ayala back heel. Compton dummies a cross across Ben Davies in order to cut inside onto his favoured left foot where he curls his shot around Lloris and back inside the post from outside the box for a piece of pure magic by the 21-year-old.

                            We’ll be facing Manchester United in the final of the Europa League.

                            Cabee’s Thoughts:

                            Results and League Table - We’ve had a little wobble in consistency with some losses and draws but I reckon we’ve been bouncing back and showing that we have the grit to carry on with our jobs. I’m obviously very disappointed to be out of the F.A. Cup which was one I really wanted to win.
                            We’re one point behind Arsenal and they're away for most of their matches including games against Exeter and Manchester City whilst we also have the former and Manchester United all at home. I really hope the Chelsea result doesn't come back to bite us!


                            Exeter City Match Once Again! - It’s not going to be another single post match but I’ll definitely be writing the details down for all to see. I’m really excited to see how well we do this time around and I’m really looking forward to this one as well!

                            Adam Marrow – It seems like we have another potentially world-class keeper within our midst and this one’s an Englishman too! Could be the future of our national team and I look forward to bringing him up to the senior squad soon enough.


                            Nicolò Angella & Marcus Beere - They're free agents I bought as our backup wingers by the way!

I especially dig the Guidetti acquisition, he's not a world beater but should be useful in a two-strike formation. You're having a really good season (congrats on the COC title) and although it seems like a greedy goal you're still in play for a quadruple which would be awesome. The Exeter teasers crack me up, no way you go back in my mind (right? RIGHT?)
                            Thanks, it was a really difficult transfer window to get much done in and tried my best to improve th squad with two players for the future and a handy Guidetti who'll do his job and allow me to test out having a partnership up front with comfortable rotation.

                            Due to our recent performances, the quadruple definitely out of reach now after losing to Liverpool in the FA Cup and suffering a 3-point setback in the league against Chelsea which we really needed. Maybe a treble if we're lucky though!

                            Exeter did actually offer me a contract. I was tempted.

                              This is a case where I'm glad I'm on the old PS3. Despite its many disadvantages, you don't get the career ruining patches.

                              I've got the Avellino season finished. I believe I still need to do updates for April and May (it's been almost 2 weeks since the last update).

                              I'll also be starting a career with Kuban Krasnodar as I haven't played Amkar Perm in so long, I just lost interest..

                              Also, I'll be leaving feedback for everyone soon.

                                I'm hoping to finish the season with Accrington tomorrow and post the first month of Bournemouth before I leave for holidays on Saturday for two weeks. So stay tuned!
