Didn't really want him to leave but he wanted out for first team football, shame as he's a club grown player, could play AML, AMC and FC and had some great mental stats. We move on though, I won't be replacing him in this window as I reckon we have enough options to pull through.

On the Wales front I can confirm that you can forcibly drag a league kicking and screaming from the doldrums of kick and rush. I won the CL with a team from Iceland, the quality of player slowly improved. During my CL runs I was never signing players from my domestic rivals unless they were Icelandic hot prospects, but after I left the quality kept going up to probably Championship level and the odd CL quality player would pass through the league. The facilities have also improved, last time I looked 5 teams had new 20k+ stadiums. That's huge, I saved the game before I resigned incase I ever wanted a brief return. I may do that at some point to see just how far Iceland could have went

This is the kind of consistency which has been missing over the past seven or eight seasons. Still a long, long way to go but I can only see injuries stopping us at this point. The 4231 is in full flow and everyone is playing well

I tried to resists but the squad ended up approaching me unhappy over the treatment of Mauro, I can't afford to have a mutiny on my hands as we are going strong in the league. So to the negotiation table we went
135k a week and a 3.5m agent fee. Screw that agent.

A January signing, 1.9m from Inter. Seems a risk worth taking, usually don't sign U18 players but with the Italian youth lacking its something I'm willing to go with.

We were unbelievably lucky finishing top, not happy at all with the last two results. In both those games the opposition pulled off more possession and shots than us, for the first time the 4231 looked suspect. May revert to the 433 for the CL knockouts and keep the 4231 domestically

For now I've turned them down, perhaps call me back in a few months Mr Croat.

I take solace in the fact that if this had been a knockout we'd have went through 4-3 on agg

Bloody Americano's. Don't understand how much pride Italian's take in their stadiums, if there is one thing you'd never see in Italy it would be a crumbling, dated football stadium.
#283058 FM Live Update Promotions & Relegations

Was coming in here to post this, used to use that site + Wiki for updating the leagues for FMUpdates. The local language Wiki's are great for getting the current season league pages.
That site also does Euro qualifiers;

If I win the CL I'll immediately resign and remove Serie A from my loaded leagues, so that is the goal for this season. If we fail to do that then I will re-evaluate at the end of the season.
My interest/annoyance levels aren't helped by the fact FM crashed and I've had to replay two games, beat Genoa both times but the first time round I drew 1-1 with Verona and this time they beat me 1-0. Annoying as Juve are next and I don't want to lose back to back games incase it hurts our morale and confidence early on.
#283003 In Pursuit Of The American Dream

If you look at the Portuguese B teams in real life they are a mix of Portuguese talent and young foreigners that the A team have signing to develop / get accustomed to Portuguese football. Seems like the A teams don't pull their weight in FM in this regard

Aye I'm wary of doing everything I fancy doing at the end of FM15 and having nowt for the start of FM16. Eastern Europe and Asia will be high up my to do list, chances are I'll go unemployed Sunday league rep and look to land in lower Eastern Europe in my first job. From there we will see where I end up.
I haven't been in Africa for a few FMs, if SI pulled their finger out and got some new African leagues in I'd definitely go on an African adventure.
What you planning? I could do with some inspiration / fresh ideas, might make a thread for it to see what others are planning

Great run, all the more impressive because of that quirky group you found yourself in.

Safely made the CL squad registration this season, shouldn't really have to worry about it again with the players that are due home grown status over the next two seasons.
Canuto and Bak don't need to be registered as they have been at the club for two year before turning 20, means Eller makes the cut at MC.

God I almost feel sorry for Empoli, almost. End the season now, we're on a two game roll.

Like I said, not all that much business. If a decent bid had come in for Sheridan or Carraro (Schalke bid 18m for him but that was under his value) then I would have made more moves.
In and straight out on loan to Ajax, I like his stats and the scouts liked him too. Should get plenty of game time with Ajax as they are now a solid mid-table Dutch club.
A backup LB with 2 attractions;
1. His pace
2. His homegrown status
Backup GK, nothing less, nothing more.
Comes in as a starting CB and I'm going to retrain him to DMC for cover. I struggled for a CB, I wanted a real top-notch one but for that I was looking at 50m+ in fee and 120k+ in wages, the money is there but I'm not willing to spend it. Alexandre gets his big chance
I spent the whole first 12 days of the transfer window just looking for a RB, it was driving me bloody insane. In the end I went for him, weren't many alternatives about. The young RBs I'd have liked would have come me over 40m and there were two quality RBs in France but they both would have wanted wages over 100k. He's gonna be retrained for DMC too
Overall I am moderately happy with my business, probably a 5/10, just couldn't find the RB or CB I wanted. Still though its not like Alexandre and Zarate are mugs, they are upgrades on what we previously had and what we previously had took us to the Champions League final.

Squad size sits at 27, probably 1 or 2 players more than I'd like, mainly because the squad is young and its not like I have 2 or 3 squad fillers who don't need the game time. If come Jan I'm struggling to rotate I'll loan out some players, I'm just wary of getting caught short like I did last year because of injuries.

Should be safely coming out of that group, Chelsea have some absolute world beaters so it will be good to go up against them to see if we can go for our 3rd deep CL run in a row.

Another nice jump for the season tickets, the fans are expectant. No more diaper changes, the boys are potty trained now.
No massive outgoings this summer so the squad is basically the same, I've only signed a handful of players, went out and got what I needed. Only a week of the window left, unless someone comes in with a massive bid for one of my players then nothing more will change.
I did knock back a 45m bid for Olesen early in the summer from Juve, if that had been a non-Italian team I'd have probably negotiated it to 50/55m and taken it. But since it was Juve I was chasing 70m and they backed out, don't want them getting further ahead of me. I can handle them taking my good players, but not my amazing players.
#282896 [FM14] Pentagon - Redux

I've been playing AMRs who've never even heard of tackling from DR, I've also played AMRL, STs from there and in one such game the RB got 2 goals. Its not happening on the regular but when they do score or assist from RB I do feel warm inside. Worst comes to worst just play him vs the Ghanian teams, they seem to be shite anyways
That's always the best thing, when you don't have to offer the players out and the bids come in. I miss managing at that level, currently with Palermo and getting a bit bored of the high transfer fees and scouting woes. I like developing and selling the players on, nothing beats getting that first 100k sale and you thinking its the best thing since Marco Borriello.
