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.

Yeah it makes sense man! I've rarely played fm since I lost motivation on my long journeyman save and don't fancy starting something new now.

Looking at either an FC United save, they're now in the player leagues. Build them up not only to the BPL and CL but trying to overtake United and city on each trophy won, BPL, FA Cup etx!

Or head to Wales and try to improve that leagye, take over team. Build them up, financially, facilites. Try to win the CL then rinse and repeat with the next team


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

Just had a 10m uptop, 13m over 12 month and 7m in clauses offer for Garofalo (my starting LB). I want 35m+ for him in hard cash if he's to leave this month, he averaged a 7.49 last season in the league and is doing a 7.28 this. I may look to ship him at the end of this season for a fee closer to 25m but I don't want to lose him mid-season, tried to renegotiate the Barca deal to 35m cash and end of season Italy but they pulled out.

God Mauro's agent is a right bastard. After a 4-3 win vs Bologna in which Mauro scored 2 his agent came looking for a new contract. It can't have been more than 18 month since his last one which saw him pull in 110k a week and a near 5m agent fee.

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

Just been offered the Croatia job, its the first international job I've been offered and actually stopped to think about. International management could be a good option post-Palermo, will give my loaded leagues a chance to settle down and me a break from club management. If I were to do it I'd look for a medium to smaller sized nation, nothing with the big boys as that would be piss easy.

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

Still can't get the board to budge on the new stadium, we're playing in a 36k, 125 year old stadium. Basically the Palermo colosseum, we have a 96.3% average attendance by capacity and we're only pulling in about £6.5m on season ticket sales each season. The potential is there, the demand is there, the money is there to build it.

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.

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;

Damn, off the back of that game Romario is now out for 3 months with an ankle injury. He's averaged a 7.97 across seven league games this season so far, huge loss, hopefully Alexandre and Artoumian can step up

I am starting to get bored and I have loaded Turkey, Serbia and Poland up. So I am preparing myself to leave, the 4231 has got me semi-interested again as its nice to see some new players playing together.

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.

How big is the Braga first team? Are they actually using these players or stockpiling?

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

Enjoying this man! Nice and simple, no fancy layout needed just basic updates of what we need to know. Been following from the start, that cl title will be yours in no time!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has began to plan FM16, I'm stuck on two ideas at the moment!!


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

You may as well have moved Cordoba out to Eastern Europe, I've never seen a European cup draw like that, Romania, Russia and Georgia. If that was real life there would be hell on.

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.

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.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/s1fICxlHLzqi8zWPHtNfo17ioeDZ6VCADHiMN2k1.png

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

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/rfTv29bx8YuB0s7ETPV64R9OhpAp56cXK7h9XhRl.png

Backup GK, nothing less, nothing more.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/phc2RkwT8PcqQgANNmSQKdUFrjYyBR2E6SjSxXsA.png

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

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/SrOWtY4A9KZ9kzYpiwFJ9eypKqgc6eCUvomDsTHB.png

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.

Started the season with a 4231 and a 2-0 win away vs Udinese. Happy with that as the team seemed to play really well, I had Vardar from AMC and he ran the show. Will definitely be using that throughout the season to give us some variety and a break my 433 boredom.

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.

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.

I would, but the defensive side of his game leaves a lot to be desired tbh, but given how my current RBs have next to no attacking ability I'll have to give it a go, if only to provide alternatives.

-----------------


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

Kaizer Chiefs bought a right back for £300k. The only decent fee I received Vasco, but that was about a 2 year budget.

At Tuks I mostly sold directly to Europe. Bologna bought a striker for £300k. Ajax a midfielder for £1m (I probably could have got more, I asked for a million thinking it crazy and hoping to get rid of them but they accepted on the spot), Ajax - again - bought an AM for £775k.

I never actively looked to sell these players, but felt I couldn't refuse that money.

Since I've moved on to pastures new they've also sold a striker to Feyenoord for £500k, a defender to America Cali for £400k and a striker to Millianaros for £1.4m. None of these players older than 23 and most about 17.

I don't know if the fact I was playing there and the higher league rep as a result of my Champion's League success factors in to those prices, but its crazy money for an African club.


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.
