So that's us. Really fun challenge this one. Front three were brilliant for the season. This is actually the first time I've played in Italy, and it's a who's who of FM08 legends! Loved it.

I should have this wrapped up over the weekend, i've qualified fairly easily despite throwing away a 3 goal lead against Gambia! My group draw is Zambia, DR Congo & Gabon so I honestly have no idea what to expect, media seem to think it's a tough draw but doesn't seem too bad, we'll see. I did pick up a nice 3-2 win over Uruguay in a friendly after going 2 down in the first 2 minutes, not that it counts for anything!

How is Mahrez getting on for everyone? I cannot get anything out of him, the guy is continually unfit for the first game of every call up and when he is fit enough to play he contributes nothing at all, been using him as an IF on the right wing but to be honest Adam Ounas is doing a better job!


He was great in the qualifiers with assists and goals, along with Slimani. As soon as the pre-tournament friendlies and the tournament itself rolled around, he went missing.

ENGLAND UNITED

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/nNNVMWASiEAZrnxJt7WMunghwf5sACXWkOf3Nfm8.jpg


Manchester United are a global force who have always had a spine of English players, but what happens when they only play and employ English players? My aim here is to dominate the English division with English players only. All non-English players and staff will immediately be sold and replaced with English players and staff.
I'll also be managing the national side, so any success the club receives should hopefully transfer to the national side. It'll be interesting how this works, having to pay the "English Premium" on players and generally only dealing with English clubs.

Ho Ho Ho. Here's my finished season. I've got to be honest, I thought it was easy with all the wins rolling in. I look at 2nd and 3rd, and man alive, they're on my arse. I dropped to second leading into the last 3 games, but luck was on my side and i topped the table on the last day of the season, equal points on 89. Look how close it is! Top scorer was miles off, how did he get 43 goals?? Didn't even make top 3 for manager or player either (that's odd)

Anywho, 50pts by my count.

Nice quick challenge. We didn't get to play RoPS.

Won the league on the last game of the season so just the 50 points for me.


Good job man. How did you get on top scorer-wise? I'm halfway through the season and there's already a player with 28 in 18 playing for FC KOMU

So 5 games in, 5 wins. Suspiciously easy so far. I imagine the vultures will come circling if they play too well.

All done.

If I've worked this out right, 25 points?

An 11th place finish, which is in reality is disappointing. I had the team in a play off position, but suddenly hit a massive bit of inconsistent form, completely unable to string wins together.

A quick mid-save update. All's going well with the team up to 13th. Got Man City as a senior affiliate so managed to get a couple of free loans to beef up the squad.

Wow, this is crazy. Every good player the club our are on loan (Borini etc) the rest of the first team are on enormous wages and now the board have just cut my wage budget leaving me -£153k. Can't even get a loan in...beat Barnsley 2-0 though.

On the hunt for a senior affiliate, try and get some players in on free. There's literally no point in selling, I'll never get the finance back in the black.

Beat QPR 4-1! Everton in the next round

As I suspected, the step up in quality really isn't there in the Conference. I'm fairly confident of wrapping up the league and full concentrating on turning pro and having a crack at the football league.
I also had a great run in the FA Cup, reaching the third round and bagging £100k in gate receipts. John Rooney then decided I was good enough to play for and finally re-signed.

Super season that mate! Hopefully the next tier won't feel too much different!


Cheers Dan. As you can see below, it's been a great start. The jump in quality isn't really there.

SEPTEMBER 2018

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/pK0R2k2rHPaWVqrzYHpYtCKAzst7sAUnrLFCGD4M.png
Another large(ish) turnover of players. Absolutely gutted to lose John (brother of Wayne) Rooney. He just would not sign a new contract and was an absolute monster at this level. I'm going to keep my eye on him and see if I can persuade him in the future. Richard Campbell on loan from Wigan is a real star of the future and I'm pretty chuffed to get him on loan. Ruairi Croskery is a real gem. Released by Man Utd and didn't make a single appearance for MK Dons at last season, I'm really hoping to bring the star out of the talent.

An amazing start to the season saw me win 4 on the bounce and has me in second. With a media prediction of 21st and a board expectation to avoid relegation, I am more than confident of beating both. Play-offs? Let's see

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/fdVuj8uy8gXZEiDvpDc5HhnGIlUWsa9i5URwQBAK.png
Kept a few core players on renewed contracts. Richard Tait had a great season at RB. Kabongo Tshimanga and James Poole both smashed the goals in. If I can get even half as many goals from them, I'd be happy. Joe Cracknell was kept in goal from last year, I probably could have brought in a new, better keeper, but I want to keep a strong core from last season.

As you can see, the season has taken a turn for the best. Just taken first position in the last game and second round in the FA Trophy. I would love to win both of these in my sophomore season. Richard Tait has proven and inspired signing and Kabongo Tshimanga and James Poole have knocked in 35 goals between them.
With a few clubs sniffing around some of my players, I would be a fool to turn down offers while playing at this level.

Unlucky with the playoff defeat mate, but like I said yo shedender a good career has both heartbreak and success in!


I'm not too fussed, I never imagined that I could get there on my first attempt so this gives me a great platform.

SEPTEMBER 2017

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Aqz8mprvBUKRUyL0dwXWo0IOHCB09lBg6vLO3bgT.png

As is the norm at this level, a lot of ins and outs, as players are usually given one year contracts. I did give a few new contracts to some star performers from last season; Jamie Tank, Emanuel Kanteh, Luke Dobie, James Poole, Eoghan Stokes and Joe Cracknell.
John Rooney is the one to watch for me, signed on a free after being released from Chester.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/I39q83Sw6N3xxl2HhgKiBfr4qdaCZF27YpXkL5Jt.png

Reduced the size of the squad from last season. There was a lot of disharmony from players not getting enough first team action, so a smaller squad should hopefully be a happier squad.

DECEMBER 2016


With a dip in form in October, I needed to sign a couple of extra players and tweak the formation to get moving. As you can see from the results, it's really worked out. I hoping to keep a playoff push by close of season.
