The Premier League is back!

And so is Luke Shaw. Glad to see him playing again and even scoring his first senior goal. Let's hope he stays fit and gets a good season because I really don't want to see Ashley Young at left back for England again!

Not a role I am keen on (though if offered it irl of course I would take it).

What are your thoughts on these in game? I never hire one and usually they just sit there taking a wage until their contracts run out.

Does anyone, or has anyone, used these as the sole caretaker of transfers? So they bring in and sell players and you make do with what they get!

I think Courtois really put a middle finger in the face of everyone but we could have made it easier by selling him earlier on in the window. I think we have a new good keeper, with a lot of potential and we also got ourselves Kovacic which is great.


Do you really need another midfielder? Loftus-Cheek won't be happy!

What's the code for this year? I tried 241447-59979 but no luck?


Apologies, seems they have changed the codes this year. It is now 403963-85937

It used to just re-add all the players once the league was restarted

Man Utd are now worse than us when it comes to getting in the players they want.


I would say Spurs aren't too great at it either

Courtois really fucking us over. He said that he wouldn't force a move and he does exactly that. I defended him when he was bad and think he is a great keeper but he could learn a lot from Hazard.


So, Courtois off to Real Madrid on a 6yr deal. Kepa coming the other way plus a loan deal for Kovacic. As much as I like him, did Chelsea really need another centre mid?!

As seemingly our Chelsea fan on the forum, @chokosc , what do you think?

Just thought of another one, not a biggy again, the pre and post match milestones. I'd like to see them again! The ones like "If player scores 1 more goal it will be his 100th for the club" etc.

People argue that if you pick a big team like Man City, Bayern, Barca or Real Madrid then that is the game in "easy" mode.

There used to be plenty of guides around the interweb, I remember one group even tried to start selling theirs!

Having a quick search, here is one that might help you on your way: https://www.guidetofm.com/

Best of luck and keep with it! If you have any questions we have plenty of experienced players here who will always be happy to help.

When you do get your teeth into a game, it would be good to hear how you progress. You could keep us updated in our careers section with a story thread or even just the odd update in the casual gamers thread there.

From the outside looking in I'm quite surprised! Granted you would know better than anyone on here all the ins and outs of the shit show at Blackpool but I hadn't seen much in the national media for ages about it so I assumed it was all settling down a bit.


It's never gotten the media coverage it merits. If it's not over in a week then they lose interest. The Oyston's own Valeri twenty five million pounds sterling and are dragging out paying him, largely because they don't seem to have the money. Owen Oyston seems to be trying to bring in another scum bag to work with so that Valeri doesn't get the club but it has all gone a bit quiet.

Meanwhile, the club is being looked after even less and so Bowyer was paying to rent a training facility in Preston for the team to train at! I think he finally got fed up of losing players, not being able to replace them and being out of pocket! Rumours are he did get reimbursed before leaving but other staff members still have expenses outstanding...

The whole club is a farce still but hopefully the reign on the Oystons is now in its death throes.

Not too bothered who gets the job atm.

I'd rather Rondon leading the line than Joselu.

I don't think Gayle is that bad either, just doesn't suit how Newcastle want to play.

Poor "Manager Man", one of the first but not the last managerial casualty of the upcoming season!

On a more serious note, I haven't fallen below min specs yet on this 10yr old computer of mine, but what am I most in need of upgrading? My dxdiag spec is:

A nice dark skin.

However, not keen on some of the use of two-tone. For example, on player status symbols (Prm, FrA, Trn, etc) it makes it hard to read. In match also, on the club names in the top left it just does not look right in my opinion.

More importantly, I can not give team talks as the box that pops up where I would select which one to give is just blank.

Overall, not a bad effort!

So now not only is Rafa unhappy at Newcastle but so are the players. They've refused to partake in any of their media obligations in a dispute with the club.

Welcome to the club, Rondon

Come on guys! This thread is usually a lot more active...

But in more important news - Courtois failed to turn up to Chelsea training today in an effort to force through a move to Real Madrid accoding to SSN. They are still saying that Butland is top target as replacement also.

Bowyer walks. and we are the first team to lose our manager this season.

Don't blame him with having enough of the club and its owners. One of the better managers we have had in a while, I am sure he will be in a job by Christmas if not Halloween!

Meanwhile our shit show continues....

Forest Green were miffed when neither their home or away kit has been provided by their kit supplier for the start of the season! So they cobbled together a new third kit to start the season

A bore draw away for us against Wycombe, our non league signings still introducing themselves to each other.

@Dan , what is it with Yeovil and red cards ?!

Bah, experimenting really did not work for me in this first season at Liverpool. Only qualified for Europa League and barely kept my job. Needless to say there was a max exodus of players. Firmino to City, Mané to Real Madrid, Henderson to Arsenal and with the early close of the English transfer window I had to fight to keep Can and Salah for another season, delaying their moves to Bayern. A lot of players didn't want to join me without Champions Leage football but managed to get an unhappy Alli from Spurs and Pulisic from Dortmund.
