Managed to win the league in my first half-season at Sporting after moving late in 2018.
Signed Lucas Vasquez and cleared out a load of dross for my attempt at retaining it and I would say for my assault on Europe but having been drawn again Atletico, Leverkusen and Inter I am not sure I'll be getting very far

The saddest part in mine was Aaron Ramsey wanting to leave for a new challenge earlier this current season, he's now at Middlesborough. Really wanted to keep him until retirement but wasn't to be, he did get a testamonial and hopefully will be available as a coach once he's finished playing.

I get a bit attached to players like this in my saves, even more-so if I don't know who they are in real life and they perform. This save I had a guy called Marinho score the winning goal to get us promoted at the age of 36, instantly retired and so was straight into my coaching staff. He's garbage but it's nice

Sure I could find a way to make Mbappe garbage @VP.
@Shedender yeah, good to see you caught them up. Are they still way and above you financially?

Recently I've been playing a save in Portugal, a league I haven't spent much time in, after getting a bit bored of the 'bigger' leagues. Started with Academica who are in the second tier and won promotion first time around. Built a decent squad to keep them up but then got offered the Sporting job in November and jumped ship as my Aca side was starting to struggle with scoring goals. However, since making the change, the save has been a f*cking nightmare

Portugal is a weird league where the majority of transfers are in the 10s of thousands, then hundreds of thousands if you're Braga before jumping to the big 3 who spend more p/w on individual players than the total weekly wage budget at Academica.

Might post some SS's up later.

Perhaps but you still finished a position higher than mysel. I was rooted to the basement of the league and you even won more games than me.

I'm waiting for the first person who survives with 33pts or less, inevitable it'll happen

KEZ, how many did you play up top? I played Pazzini through the middle flanked by keane and Cerci. Also had Romulo in the centre of the park pulling the strings.

Not too disimilar then ended up sticking 2 up top as we just couldn't score goals. Finished the season with the worst attack and defence...

@KEZ_7 I know they're depressing and all but your screenshots don't work. You should be using imgur instead.

Maybe that was deliberate?
Nah, I got locked out of my imgur for some reason but I shall fix that this morning

Kean was pretty shit for me as well as was Pazzini(sp?) as the latter scored a grand total of ONE goal under my regime.

Ha he didn't do much better for me and I managed to match your score...

Sacked - 25pts
Relegated -25pts
Beat Cheivo +5pts = MINUS 45pts

URGH. This was a little bit depressing Roll on the next round. In all seriousness, once this challenge is finished I'd be keen to see what those who were successful did to do it that way. i don't mean that in terms of any accusation or wrongdoing, more so that I can learn from it and recognise where I am going so wrong!!!

You lot terrify me as you make me realise how bad I have become at this game.

Also, much like Mahrez in R3, I can't seem to get a performance out of Kean whilst others have him thriving.

#420737 5-2-3 but with GOOD DEFENCE?

I think what you need to remember with this is that the 'formation' is where your team are WITHOUT the ball, yet the roles are more about with the ball and can completely change the shape of your team, leaving them open (for example) to counter attacks or long balls over the top.

Using the 3 you've shown, the 'attacking' mentality of the wingbacks would mean they are high, the centre midfielders will all be joining in the attack as they are on 'support'. There is also a high possibility that your centre-backs have joined in as 'ball playing defenders' look to do. Unless you've a very talented squad (like Man City in FM18) I'd recommend having at least 1 defender who isn't a BPD to provide a bit more cover.

Having said all of this... I am rubbish at FM this year

Aye but I'm confident enough you didn't lose 6-0 away to Benevento in the previous game though.

Fair one, just hope I can at least match your points total in the league... stuck on 18 at the moment.

I hope the rest of you appreciate the good work the staff are putting in to make you feel better

I had this recently when I installed some kits. Close the game and then right click it on steam and click 'Verify Game File Integrity' (I think that's its name, maybe a varying combo of those words) then reload the game

At least if this Alexis deal goes through Mourinho will shut up about not spending as much as City, 180m its going to cost for a 29 year old. Mental.

This is the sole reason that I'd want it to happen.

Hopefully done over the weekend
Managed to do it today. Qualified for the tournament and went out in the last 8 to eventual winners Senegal after winning our group. Mahrez (as to be expected with any team I play with) was our WORST player, I never get good players playing well! Almost didn't bother taking him to the competition. Screenshots below and save attached!

That gives me 10pts with no further bonuses

Finished! Managed to get this out today.

Ended up finishing 2nd, 5 points adrift, despite not losing in the last 31 games.

No other awards, which I believe leaves me on 25 points.

Not really anything overpowered, but in my LLM experience, I've always found fitness is tough to manage so a focus there might benefit you. The quality of the coaches often limits what you can do, regardless

Depending how much your PC can handle - I would say Greece (obviously), Turkey, Serbia, Russia, Ukraine, Italy, Germany and then optionally the following: Brazil, Argentina, Holland, England, Scotland, France, Belgium

I had a really good save with AEK (? I think) a couple of versions ago. If you can plumb a couple of Brazilian WK you can at get in Europe pretty regularly and make some good profit.

Somehow just spotted this, thanks GF!

Yeah I've been watching Designated Survivor @Tarrantino and genuinely think season 1 was one of the best things I've seen... this season is like a different show that has no real plotline to it, just sort of mumbling on week to week
