I got back into FM as well, FM15 is great. Started up a Sounders/USA national team save. To keep myself from getting sucked in to much at a time, I pick a date ill stop at no matter what. Save there. Then go back to life until next time. Just saved at start of MLS playoffs in 2014. Everton Fifa save played 2 matches last night. Lost both. 2-0 loss to newcastle in EPL and 2-1 loss to AC Milan in group stage of CL.

Lots of draws... Gotta start getting 3 points here and there!

Oh yeah FM definitely sucks you in lol, I just pace myself as best I can.

But yeah Inter is fun so far, I did my usual manual transfer of the best players before starting though, so I start with an even worse squad. Just an extra layer of challenge and still allows me to play as a bigger team. Usually just pick a number, and then transfer all players above that number off the team. Then I spread those players around Serie A, making the cpu a bit stronger which makes things harder etc.

Good times, will last me until fifa 16 for sure

Tell me about it, disappointing start no doubt. Worst of all, the board is already on my ***, I have Real Madrid up next(at home) which is most likely another loss, then the international break which scares me because it's the perfect opportunity to give me the sack. If I survive, we have Córdoba(A), Celta Vigo(H), Almeria(A), all winnable, and must wins really. Finger crossing time!

Villarreal Nearly Pull Off The Upset


The look says it all

A heroic performance from GK Sergio Asenjo combined with a pair of set piece goals midway through the second half put hosts Villarreal in position to nab an unexpected victory against mighty Real Madrid, but a 73rd minute gaffe from top defender Mateo Musacchio and the subsequent equalizer from Cristiano Ronaldo put an end to the dream and El Submarino Amarillo were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw here at El Madrigal.

I had samething happen in my Everton cm, chelsea, who seems to win EPL every year in CM. 0-0 going into 85th minute, they take lead 1-0 on a great save by Howard, but rebounded to the feet of cuadrado. I think I hit post lke 3 times in match.

That stinks. I was pretty disappointed, I can't lie. Felt like a loss.
