Some tough groups for the English teams there. City arguably the easiest group out of those.
Bayern or Porto probably have the easiest groups overall though.
Mixed emotions here, glad we are having a bit of a cup run and could progress further with the form QPR have started the season but annoyed because it all means more money for Oyston to try and retain his ownership.
Third round draw
West Brom v Crystal Palace
Arsenal v Brentford
Burton Albion v Burnley
Wycombe v Norwich
Oxford United v Man City
West Ham v Macclesfield
Millwall v Fulham
Liverpool v Chelsea
Bournemouth v Blackburn
Preston v Middlesbrough

@bolid74 have you seen the new Rostov fourth kit? I hope for your sake you're not doing the Russian League!
Get him @terriersmad !
Some good signings there, glad Sandy came back for another season.
A good preseason draw against the terrors too!
Well, Owen Oyston is saying his account he uses to pay for things at Blackpool has been frozen due to the court case so he can't pay for anything. So what if he has other means to pay for stuff, it is a handy excuse not to put any more money into t...
I thought it was a strange game for a midday kick off and to be televised. Glad I got dragged shopping and taxi-ing the missus to the hairdressers instead!
My poor old head hurts looking at that formation.
Interested to see how it all works out.
Best of luck!
This seems to be going really well, keep up the good work!
I love how there is a team just called "Keith".
Sounds like the most mundane team to be a fan of ever.
You say your youth intake was standard, but if I had one with that many potential 4/5 stars I think I would collapse! I guess the perspect...
On the player you want to scout's page, is there the option to "Assign a scout" and does it give you the assistant manager's name there as an option?
Otherwise, not sure.
Think they stand a better chance there! They were poor against Athens.
Lots of games tonight as the first round gets underway.
Game of the night so far seems to be at Carlisle who welcome Blackburn, some cracking goals for both sides!
They were busy building that trophy cabinet.
There was a bit of server lag but everything should be starting to work through again.
Finally got a team promoted in this series of FM!
Didn't really test the new keeper did they though?
No more "manager man"
Wow, that second lot of results looks like a screenshot from a @Shedender story
Is the only way out of this League as Champions then?
Only got the media to go from down here! I work with a Dundee United fan but he has lost his interest in it all of late.
Would it be worth asking the board to rush through a "trial day" and get some kids in?
Looking forward to this, great idea for a story/career thread.
I guess with that pitch and weather you will mainly be using a direct approach
You've gained one more fan already
Hearts beat Celtic!
Of course it is the Rangers target Lafferty that scored too.
Could this be Rodgers last season at Celtic?
For me, @mons does wonderful work fixing names with the real name fix found in the sticky thread in this forum section
Then there are @bolid74 's English league kits in the SS Kits section which are a work of art.
For badges, the metallic logos ar...
Isn't that slightly different, doesn't that option just change the names of real players to made up ones? (Never used the option myself).
There is a new record for FM2018 Most Hattricks in a Season with 2
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...
No, Barney the friendly dinasour!
You picked the worst kit ever!
Do you really need another midfielder? Loftus-Cheek won't be happy!
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
I would say Spurs aren't too great at it either
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 foroum, @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...
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...
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 d...
Nice story with a team that is largely overlooked, best of luck with this!
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 im...
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 tar...
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!...
Chelsea's performance did not inspire!
First silverware for City already.
Aguero loves playing Chelsea.
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 ?!
