Roma is already a title challenger. Juventus is the only team in Italy with a better current squad. The other two teams will be much more challenging.

Poor performance from Sweden today. The referee is a bastard, but a good team plays with enough margins to avoid having a game like that decided by refereeing.

Ha, Ranieri's been fired from his Greek NT job.

After losing at home to the Faroe Islands, it's no less than deserved.
Commonwealth Games I think.

That was months ago though, wasn't it?

There's a lot more to video quality than just resolution.

Depends on your players personalities, your club's reputation and expectations, your managers reputation etc.

There's no one size, fits all solution.

So just how bad are the Royal Mail? It's said ' your item bla bla has arrived in MANCHESTER MAIL CENTRE and is being processed for delivery' for like a week now.

What is it that you've ordered?

And only 3 weeks left before you can claim it as lost...

Crosses seem to be overpowered in the current iteration of the match engine. There's really not much you can do about it until SI release the next hotfix/patch.

Started a new game and can't find him. I need him

Download the file from the workshop, re-start FM, make sure the "Martin_Ødegaard_player_profile.dbc" is ticked on the editor data screen and start a new game.

so how do you download him? I just pressed subscribe and he's not on it.

You'll have to re-start FM and start a new game for him to appear.

Haha, that's a pretty unusual move by SI.

Cool that they've done it. Those mental attributes are incredible for a 15 year old.

Went to see Slash last night. Band (and support act) were amazing. Crowd was fucking shit. Just standing there doing nothing but recording the entire gig on their phones. Some lads even sending videos on Snapchat ffs

21st century people fucking suck.

If you have still got International Slots open to trade, when a team makes an offer like a 2 year deal for £180k try adding David Villa into that. Might be able to get rid of him that way.

As for signing players the best way that I found in the exact same position is to try and pick players up off waivers, especially players on reserve contracts. They may not be very good but do offer depth to the squad.

Can only trade him to teams with two open DP spots, not a lot of those around, unfortunately.
#215734 So why, exactly, can I not coach a North Korean team?

There's not enough North Korean players in the database for their national team to be playable. I think the limit is something like 100 players.

Just reporting to the night thread that I am currently sat enjoying Emmerdale, hopefully to be followed by a few episodes of Sky+'d Neighbours!

I think my mum would like you. The two of you must be the only people in the world capable of enjoying Emmerdale.

Why not keep going til his contract runs out?

It ends in 2017. I'm not going to play two whole seasons without making a single signing.

David Villa's contract puts me $3m over budget and prevents me from making any signings at all, I can't find anyone who wants to buy him and the board won't let me release the fucker. I think this save is dead, unfortunately.

What makes you say that Franck?

Have you been asleep in the closet for the last 10 months?

The city of Donetsk is under the control of armed rebels, Shakhtar's stadium has been heavily damaged by artillery fire and the club has been forced into exile in Western Ukraine.

A trade!

Pretty solid return for a backup player I picked up for nothing in the waiver draft.

Wow new stadium already? What's the attendance at current stadium?

Yankee Stadium is only their temporary home in real life, so I'd imagine it being a hard-coded thing.

Some nice player stats there. Nice work on the new stadium. How big was your last one?

Yankee Stadium seats 49642 people.

League awards:

Impressive season from the little kid, though I am still considering signing a new goalkeeper.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/XZWcF34Gx5xHjCQ0SFbCDMDOJjBFXlCV66Zl0pLu.png

Not bad for a free transfer making only $65k per season.

https://sortitoutsi.b-cdn.net/uploads/mirrored_images/xtqwgORElmrbhPFAG7DhEG4kdcUbBt9BRtMoooXg.png

Yeah, I expected I'd get it. I deserve it too, taking an expansion team to the greatest MLS season in league history is nothing short of miraculous. I am truly a special one.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/SkmH7xyDo5PsfFDJMScPlMMlxv2V8RvglnKYnpjI.png

Getting four of my players into the team of the year really shows how dominant our team was. I really wish I could some how pull off a trade for Nagebe though, great player who'd make us much more dangerous on the wings.

And finally, the MLS MVP:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/6d12Z3HnLx4kVXGyrPLVEh1eSAJKhxqzgELDKluD.png

In all honesty I think Johnson should have won it, unfortunately he missed about 6 games because of an injury, I think he'd have won it otherwise.

Great news!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/RMmJrs8DkjpjNpulqrbDSIm3D3JJFYFykoKJ6vN1.png

By far the largest soccer-specific stadium in the United States. Should solidify the club as the dominant club in the MLS long-term.

Some league stats:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/c7W0qBiTXsTUkfknTyyJJIPKNGvzaus69VscwETQ.png

Will Johnson is pretty fucking good. A couple of Premier League clubs are after him, they better offer some serious money if they want him.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/5YIio1zEeyxb4m5WbYCmEvPuHq0DzeImWSDzD7Uf.png

Villa only had 2 goals after 20 games were played, so he's scored 20 goals in half a season. Pretty good, I'd say.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/TRiVhg404hlafFPRml9RRpwIOm8bfoTRbqax1Tif.png

Like I said before the season, the Lampard - Johnson midfield pairing is seriously good. Impressive of Villa to end up on top after his poor start of the season.

I think it's safe to say you've taken them as far as you can go. Go for Napoli! Take David Villa with you!

Nah, I still want to have a go at the CONCACAF Champions League and I want to see the club in such a state that I can expect them to keep dominating the MLS after I've left.

Amazing season and an amazing achievment for a new team! Eager for next season?


I'm eager for the off-season, at least. I've got some interesting moves planned.
