Well, this shouldn't be number one, but number zero, since this is no real update, but..

After my last year's success with Bayern (not talking about the story here, which went like four updates or how much, sorry for bothering you with it) I decided to start my first FM13 game with them, and also the career, which I hope will continue longer and will be updated more often than the last one

This is what game says about the team.

What I want
- offensive football (even if that means higher number of allowed goals)
- focus on Bundesliga and Champions League, all the other cups & supercups are not so important
- build a state-of-art academy and produce good (excellent) young players
- focus on buying Germans (already broken with the first signing)
- and of course, to keep the red flag flyin' high over Germany! Who's Dortmund?

THE TACTICS
(aka the most attacking first choice tactics I have ever used in FM)

http://www.abload.de/img/fcbayernmnchen_team4vzl2.png

Firstly, I started with Robben & Ribéry as wingers, but Shaqiri somehow managed to become the best goalscorer in the whole league, so he's starting for now. Ribéry has to stay on the bench, don't have a place for three wingers.
When Mandzukic comes on for Muller or starts instead of him, I change his instructions to poacher, but I leave him as the target man in the team instructions.
It all works too good to be true. Haven't lost a point yet (and I've played quite a lot of matches already).

I don't have any backup tactics yet, I should think about something "balanced" or what.

THE TRANSFER
(the only one)
Butland.

And Livermore. This doesn't really count as a transfer, I've just loaned him in, and now I regret it. I have enough DM's, and I don't know what brought me to the idea I should loan one more. I need a winger

The real updates start from the next one, which will be after half of the season. Question of a couple more days.

AUTUMN
(Keeping it short)

http://www.abload.de/img/zapasyxgivh.png

Lorient guys should celebrate. They're the only team who managed to beat Bayern.

Player stats are coming next time I open FM, because now it doesn't show everything it should.

I'm really happy with the form of Mario's (both Mandzukić and Gómez), Thomas Muller and Xherdan Shaqiri. Manu is a classy goalkeeper, which really doesn't need to be the best player overall to show how good he is

If we don't count friendlies - 0 lost, 1 drawn. This is exactly the way I want it to work. Winning league without losing a point would be a perfect way to end the first season, wouldn't it?

Two notable matches

What I want (and how does it work for now)
- offensive football (even if that means higher number of allowed goals) ✔ (27 matches. 82 scored goals = 3 goals per match.) updated goal - to have 4 goals per match in average
- focus on Bundesliga and Champions League, all the other cups & supercups are not so important - (somehow still in the cup and won the Supercup)
- build a state-of-art academy and produce good (excellent) young players not yet (half a season is too short amount of time)
- focus on buying Germans (already broken with the first signing) - (Two Englishmen)
- and of course, to keep the red flag flyin' high over Germany! Who's Dortmund? ✔ (Dortmund's 4th with 21 points loss, just after half a season. Ouch, I know, it hurts, yellow guys.)
ADDING ONE MORE POINT
- win the league without losing a point (okay, one draw at most)
