I believe PSG hasn't won

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

If you want youth, this is who I'd recommend:

Fede Vico
El Shaarawy (will cost 20 million) and you wouldn't want to loan him as he's already excellent
Oxlade-Chamberlain
Will Hughes

You also have super expensive German players like Schurrle and Draxler

I was able to get Xherdan Shaqiri from Bayern for around $20 mil. He has done very well for me. Can be a bit selfish at times, but puts up good stats and is an absolute menace down either flank. He is a two-footed player with all the attributes for a good winger. He's either 20 or 21 when you start a new save.

Yep! I will go as Hertha or Dynamo Berlier! If you all are interested let me know and I can start a new thread.
I started to do this myself! I decided to start the game in December 2012. I picked BSC because I have always had a soft spot for them. First match Hamburg in the Pokal!!
Here is the current table

I'm gonna roll with PSG after I finish up Milan season 1. I'm into the semi-finals of the Champion's League after knocking out Barcelona I couldn't have been more thrilled. We had the home leg first and won a very entertaining game 3-2 thanks to a M'Baye Niang brace. Yes, he actually scored this time - 2 great goals in fact.

My defensive tactic back at the Nou Camp failed as Messi scored to give Barca the lead on away goals. It wasn't looking great until Puyol gifted Pazzini the ball in the 82nd minute to score and send us to to the semis.

Semi Final Draw:

Milan vs Man United
Real Madrid vs Juventus

United has lost RVP for the season so I know I can beat them We have won the league title and really, the UCL is keeping me entertained at the moment

PSG seems way too easy with all the money. Go with FC Paris in the CN and overtake PSG. They already have a nice stadium!!

Not if you focus on developing homegrown talent or signing only French players. I don't ever play big teams and buy big name stars. I usually like to buy the 17-18 year old kids and develop them alongside my stars. Anything older and I restrict myself to the nationality of the country I manage in. I like playing big teams, but realize it gets way too easy if you buy all the stars so I put restrictions on myself to stay with existing squads and develop youth to build a homegrown squad It's really nice when you're signing up for the CL and your entire squad is homegrown...

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

I am in my fourth year with Celtic right now and my best players all this season have decided they want a move to a bigger club. The worst part is I have Celtic up to 12th in the club rankings and have been to the CL finals once, and knockout stage each of the other seasons.

My top 5 guys as sorted the way that list is all have come to me saying they want to move to a bigger club.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Finished 2019-2020 year. Finished 2nd in the league to Marseille, as they had 86 points and I had 83 points.

I drew Barcelona in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. We lost 3-0 at their place. In the second leg, my team got up 4-0 on them, but David Alaba scored in the 84th minute for Barca so I lost on away goals.

It's time for 2020 Euros, and we (Belgium) is the host. Like I said before, some players are getting older and not enough young talent coming up the system so this is the team to win it all with this team. I got Romania, Sweden and Poland in my group.

For my league team, I had close to 200M to spend on transfers. I'm big on player development but I decided to spend some of that money.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

I got out of group stage finishing 2nd, however I lost Eden Hazard for rest of the competition with an injury.

I guess I have to rely on Thorgan now

Edit: Lost to Holland in the quarterfinals, 4-3 in penalties. I had to play with 10 men from the 90th minute on as Dembele got a red like a minute after coming into the game as a sub.
