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

Things are progressing along nicely in my first season at Arsenal. Wellington Nem is a beast and leads the EPL in goals scored through November, where I'm sitting one point behind Spurs in 2nd place.

You all are on notice for when we run the Best Team Tournament. My Arsenal squad went on a huge winning streak and won everything. Yes, the vaunted quadruple. Having typed this, watch me go out in the first round of the tourney in humiliating blowout fashion.

Going into the final match day of the Europa groups, it was looking slim. We had just lost to Hajduk and were tied on 5 points with them, but they had the tiebreaker because of head-to-head points. So we needed to get a better result than them and were hosting Spurs. Going into the half, Hajduk was up at Panathinaikos 2-0 and we were drawing 0-0 but never looking like scoring. Then it all happened!!

Even though they were down, a goal for Hajduk would have meant we both drew and I was out. So when Pinto suddenly broke away on a long ball in injury time and slotted it home, I could finally celebrate.

Here's the league table through December 6th:

I hope I do well enough that I'll get offered a gig with a high-profile national team.

Seen probably the most impressive thing I've ever seen on FM. We played Barcelona at home in the Champions League and for their first goal, Neymar chased after a ball which hit the corner flag and came back to him. He then managed to back heel it past two Portadown defenders and put in a pass to Messi who scored.

I don't even know how to describe how I was feeling when I saw it. My jaw was on the floor.

Do you have an upload of that? I know I'd enjoy seeing that!

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

Right then, so I know realize there was a fatal flaw in my plan(besides 4 of my starting XI being injured) My team is filled with castoffs and rejects from the Bundesliga/EPL, well there is a reason they were cast off/rejected.


SIGH.

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

With injuries to my starting XI now totalling 7, I decided to check free agency, managed to scoop up Per Mertesacker, Haris Medunjanin, Ibrahim Afellay, and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. Hopefully they can help right this awful, awful, makes me regret signing that extension team.

Won the quadruple twice, once in 2020 and 2021, and have won the EPL 8 years straight with Arsenal.

You're all on notice.

I think I'm going to start a new save with a lower league team to try and make it to the EPL. Trying to decide which league to start in. Might just go with a Championship team (I was thinking Bolton) just so it's not such a huge mountain to climb, haha.

Nottingham Forest, great history and they haven't been in the EPL since 1999.
