.::: UP THE GAS :::. Bristol Rovers FC - Road to the Premiership

[4EverBlowingBubbles]

Hello guys! Since Bristol Rovers are my second favorite football club in real life, I decided to take them all the way up to the Premiership in FIFA 13. I want to make it to the very top and perhaps one day dominate europe.

At the moment, I'm almost done with season one. It was a tough first season but in the end we managed to get automatic promotion. Unfortunately, we were not able to secure silverware and lost League 2 title to Gillingham FC on goal difference. They were always the better team. Our effort was not enough to overtake the League leaders. They were always one step ahead.

I'm playing 15-minute halves , full manual on Legendary using Orion's set of sliders. Since I'm starting the 2013–14 season next week, I will be posting last season's statistics and video highlights in the next couple of days. Well, I hope you football fans like this. Thanks for reading and wish me luck because most of the time I end up losing to the big teams.

End of Season Action

[4EverBlowingBubbles]

2013-2014 Season has arrived

So, the new season is here. We got promoted to League 1. This time we will be facing better teams. There is a tough season ahead of us. Since the end of last season the club has gone through several changes. It was kind of sad to see some of our players go after helping the team get promoted. Loanees went back to their parent clubs and I was forced into selling some aging players. We also received tempting offers for a couple of strikers. Good thing is we are bringing young and new faces to the club. I signed two young lads on loan and several bright future prospects at youth level got promoted to Senior Squad. I'll be posting all details below.

GK Scott Bevan
from Bristol Rovers to Torquay United
Transfer Type: Purchase ($60.000)
