Needed a 'complete forward' and he fitted the bill perfectly really, he's clearly going to be a great player so should be money well spent. Also as you know from my previous games over the years i never read and player guides or wonderkid lists etc. Obviously Martial is very well known but the vast majority of any transfers i make are just through scouting.

Next season i'm gonna offer a high win bonus for all comps and see if that makes a difference as its the only thing i can possibly think of that is effecting results.



Have spent a little money on new players for January, had one 'big' signing fall through due to the prick turning me down for Man Utd and another (aging striker) would only sign if i made him an u18's coach, he didn't actually wanna play for me and for £7.5m i thought that was a little pricey for a coach Plan was to sign an experienced striker to tutor Martial and make him even better as quickly as possible. Well i did manage to sign someone but not too sure how the fans will react to it...

First names that came into my head were van Persie and Adebayor.

Highlight of the 2 months was VP's equaliser at Old Trafford (he also scored on his debut too).

Martial will be very difficult to find a tutor for as I imagine - by now especially - his reputation is very high. The tutor needs to have a higher reputation that the tutee (is that a word?)

Nice formation and a nice couple of seasons, I'd never go with that formation on my own though can't escape the world of boring normal formations.

Very disappointed to lose the league in the last few games and even more so considering we lost 4 games less... Will be moving on some of the older faces and giving the youngsters a real go this season coming. Have one player joining so far but that's on a free, only have a budget of £313m too

They are indeed but we're still lacking some experience/quality in midfield especially when we've a couple of injuries. Hence the reason i've spent £70m on a CM in January

Yeah it is, finances are brilliant really but wage budget is terrible and the board won't increase it so can't even renew any contacts at the moment...

The below pic also includes the Pogba transfer fee taken away.

Still going along slowly, updates will be less frequent now though as don't get so much time to play

As I had Gotze coming I didn't need them both add would have pushed another younger further away from the first team. Didn't expect to see him back in England a year later though ffs.

Unlucky not to win the title in your 2nd season, hopefully your form in the cups will improve! Some big money signings. Jamie Vardy scoring goal after goal like real life

Season 4 - Halfway

Actually made it through my CL group this season but have not faired so well in the league, that final result against Man Utd actually made me furious Just the couple of signings and nothing planned for January so far.

Had to quit this due to constant crash dumps, in fact for a time i couldn't play FM at all as due to this one not working i decided to start a Celtic save but the same thing happened with that one too. That really pissed me of as spent absolutely ages scouting players only for it to crash on me (un-saved of course)

Managed to narrow the problem down to me not being able to use any downloaded skins for some reason? I've never had a problem before but it seems to do it with and skin i install... I have started a new save with Arsenal but doubt i'll make a new story/update thread for it as it'll just bore you all to death!
