            86 points would have won the league for the past 4 years, but not this year. **** PSG. I did end up beating them in the final match at home to go undefeated at home.



            Espanyol won the La Liga for 2nd straight year, and Liverpool just won the title in Championship to get promoted to PL, 2038 is strange.

              I'm a bit frustrated tonight as I was eager to DL the new data pack from sortitoutsi and much to my disappointment, when I got it loaded in--it made the load times in game incredibly long. Even starting the game up took considerably longer than normal. Any ideas/work arounds; as the wait times were so long it was pretty much useless

                  Started in 2015, signed Mustafi and Reus before the season started. Tried for a new striker but didn't work out, so Reus is on the left and Alexis on the right.

                  Giroud or Theo up top now but I want to try Welbeck once he's healthy.

                  Lost 0-2 to West Ham to start, and then beat Man United 3-0. Also lost to Chelsea (obviously), but am turning it around and started off the CL with a win.

                  The board wants me to win the league, which will be tough.

                  And with Mustafi, Mertesacker has been dropped from the squad for now.

                    So it appears the data update ADDS a LOT of 'files' to the game? I don't understand, as I thought it would've just, 'replaced' the current data (i.e. Ibra listed on ManU as opposed to PSG). Apparently this isn't the case?

                    Frustrated and disappointed to say the least

                      I realize I'm at a small club when we sell 277 Season tickets and I get genuinely excited because it means I can raise the wage budget a little bit.

                      Well it's been an interesting season, after 3 straight promotions with Whitehawk, we've outgrown everything at the club, we got taken over, and the new owner said he was willing to invest in the club, so we'll see how far he takes us with that. In the meantime, an unusual set of circumstances has led to the worst schedule imaginable...

                      Due to stadium requirements, we began construction on The Enclosed Ground in June, scheduled to finish in December. We went into a groundshare agreement with Crawley Town to use their stadium, this led to nearly all of my Saturday home fixtures to be re-scheduled as Sunday home fixtures, then in December, Crawley ends up going deeper in cups so my weekday game gets pushed back, then due to a waterlogged pitch we had two more games postponed, this led to a 25-day stretch in which I did not play a single game. It also leads to this January



                      If you can't see the image...
                      2/1 v Coventry
                      8/1 at Gillingham
                      12/1 v Swindon
                      19/1 at Colchester
                      22/1 v York
                      26/1 v Sunderland
                      29/1 v Oxford
                      2/2 at Luton

                      Good news is, they finished the construction at The Enclosed Ground, and now we can seat nearly 4,000!

                        I threw their style back in their face and pressed them, pressed them, and pressed some more.

                        I managed Getafe and got a 2-1 victory over them. Course at Camp Nou, they blew me out 7-0, so there's that risk as well.

                          For the first time in my FM career, I have done it! Took a team from League 2, and have brought them up the EPL!

                          AFC Wimbledon will be playing the likes of Man U, Chelsea, City, Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool, etc. next year!








                          Team played out of their minds this year, a lot of really god performances. I broke the club record transfer fee in signing an Argentinian goalie from Valencia, my scouts think he'll be a good keeper even at the EPL level. Also found a young Turkish striker in the German Second Division who ended up being my leading scorer, 19 goals in 33 apps.

                          The board has really upped my budget, I have a $27m transfer budget, and my wage budget is nearly doubling.

                          I have a couple players that I plan on offering extensions/raises to in my current squad, but I'm really excited to see what this extra money can do. Really going to look to bring in some veterans with EPL experience.

                          Now to try and stay up next year and rake in that EPL money! My youth and training facilities really need upgrading.

                          History so far with Wimbledon:
                          2015/16 - 13th, League 2
                          2016/17 - 3rd, League 2
                          2017/18 - 9th, League 1
                          2018/19 - 2nd, League 1
                          2019/20 - 14th, Championship
                          2020/21 - 15th, Championship
                          2021/22 - 11th, Championship
                          2022/23 - 2nd, Championship

                              The **** you mean MY DECISION to let Kwesi Appiah go? I'm sorry, YOU decided the club needed the paltry sum of £135,000 instead of our LITERAL BEST PLAYER, and now MY job security is affected because of YOUR decision? Spineless **** of a Chairman blaming me for his sale. I PROTESTED THE ******* TRANSFER, I had NOTHING to do with Kwesi Appiah leaving the club.
