First time ever managing in Turkey and can't remember seeing many if any on here before. No idea on the rules or any of the competitions so let's see how this goes...

Interesting save idea! Always been intrigued by Turkish football, shame it isn't broadcast over here in the UK.
Good luck!

Turkish football is an awesome watch. Passion over there is insane! Got me a Galatasaray shirt, so will be following along! Best of luck with the ageing strikeforce of Falcao & Andone.

Thanks for the comments, this first season will be mainly spent just learning the league and also getting used to the team/players I have. One thing I don't like already is that there is no reserve league (just u19) so the 1st team squad is huge and I do much prefer to have a small squad. Transfer window is switched off so unable to sell anyone at the moment but will certainly be trying to in January, have already sent back a couple of my loaned in players as were never going to play.

One player I'm pleased to see is the once nicknamed 'Turkish Messi' Emre Mor on loan from Celta Vigo, sadly though he doesn't fit my tactics other than playing him upfront and I don't think trying to retrain him as a wing back will work either but will give it a go.

Another thing I've noticed is how high the wages for a lot of players are, didn't realise this was the case in Turkey.

Good luck in Turkey, VP.

Hope you can get the best out of Falcao.

Shame about the debt though. Must be owned by the Eastern European version of the Glazers.

The only good thing about it is that its finished in 4 years, plus doing the maths and adding the monthly repayments with the months left (£1.4m x 48) to pay comes to no where near £187m. So I'm either missing something thats glaringly obvious or the bank manager is retarded

Good luck in Turkey, will be interesting as I've never done a Turkish save! Looks like a strong start already so keep it up!

SEASON 1 DECEMBER





Absolutely awful where we was kucky to take anything from each match. Was going to wait until the end of season but recent performances have pushed the rebuild forward 6 months, ideally I want to have squad that is mainly Turkish rather than a load of overpaid foreigners. Most are on loan and I'm hoping I can cancel the deals on the 1st of January but I've got a feeling that won't be possible.

Nice going with Galatasary. I like to load up the Turkish league but I've yet to have the chance there. Have you tried the Belgian league? That was a good craic too

Things are going well with Galatasary @VP., only second because of goal difference. Keep it up.

Well done on getting third place from that disastrous Champions League group but it's such a shame that Atalanta ended the European run.

We conceded in the 93rd minute of the first leg and just knew not winning would prove costly.

Looking forward to next season when I can finally get rid of the rest of the loan signings and start to make the team my own (and more Turkish!).

A cracking start to this as ever, have you gone with your 352? Interesting the financial side of things, I knew they'd been struggling with it in real life but didn't think it was so intense

Yeah I am mate, only tactic I ever use really now. Though I am playing on the next version of the ME that'll be available on the next patch.

Is actually quite enjoyable and a nice change.

Oh, ahead of the game!

That last part is good to hear though, pleased to see it is still enjoyable

If you manage to win all national competitions it’s very good for the first season. You are on a good path.

SEASON 1 APRIL/MAY

Well we got what we deserved in the end this season, absolutely nothing. Still can't work this game out how you can just go on terrible runs for no reason and so often during matches you're by far the better team but miss all your own chances only to see the opposition score the only one they make!

Anyway, on to next season where I can hopefully improve things.





Yeah cheers, that transfer budget is really going to help...

I just commented and soon after, you are doing a new update. It seems that everything went to the side. Nor is that direction to help you.
