Thanks Dan, never expected it to go that well with the squad I inherited. Can't see next season being this easy though I have a number of key players wanting to move on and the 2 U20 players in the matchday squad rule is a pain in the backside cause...

We needed 7 points from our last 3 games to win the league and got 9, so we've won the Closing Stage to go with the Opening Stage and Super Cup, shame about the Chilean Cup! Alonso put us ahead against Espanola and w...

We made light work of seeing off Everton with a 4-1 win, Lopez got things going in the 3rd minute and Alonso grabbed a first half brace, Everton got one back but Carmelinckx got a rare goal to restore our 3 goal advantage 7 minut...

Copa Libertadores Group Draw
Fairly pleased with this group to be honest, avoiding clubs from Argentina and Brazil should give us a strong chance of qualification, would expect Sante Fe and Liga de Quito to be tricky but Olimpia shoul...

The inevitable departure of Parraguez is confirmed, managed to get £5m despite only having 6 months left on his contract so it's not too bad, 20% of next sale profit comes to us as well and his next move should be...

Well we've done our part, it's the best we can do, tactics have fallen in to place and a clean sweep this month makes it 8 straight wins in all competitions. We progressed to the cup Semi Final with a...

More disappointment in the league as we were somehow held to a 0-0 draw at home to Everton to make it 3 games without a win, I can feel the title slipping away already! We continued to struggle but results began to improve star...
Thanks Dan. A bit disappointed with our start to the Opening Stage to be fair but it's taking time to get the tactics right so i'm still tweaking things game by game.
Going well with Chile mate they've become fairly weak on my save, should piss the qualifier.
Won't say too much about Villa though haha

We saw off Nublense in the first leg of our cup tie but have to be disappointed by the scoreline, Rodrigo Olguin has just been recalled from league leaders Union Espanola as he had netted 9 in 10 for them! No idea why the clu...

Hernandez's headed goal was enough to secure a 1-0 win over newly promoted Cobreloa but in truth it should have been far more comfortable, we were then disappointingly held at lowly San Luis, Alonso's first half strike...

New Club - Universidad de Chile
Facilities
The facilities here are awesome, part of what tempted me to make the switch as this club are firmly established as one of the most successful Chilean clubs and everything is in place to ensure things sta...
Expectations
Pretty simple expectations again, board want a top half finish which should be a formality really.
Transfers
A number of players have departed most notably Lazaga who played quite well last season but he's a target man which...
By Ipswich Knights | On 23 February 2016 - 01:37 AM GMTAll those draws in a row really hurt.
So frustrating, worst thing was we should have won all of them just either couldn't take our chances or conceded a sloppy late goal. Killed our hopes of the...

A fifth straight draw and a fifth game we should have won! Bryan Ruiz headed us in front just before the break but again we failed to close it out, San Luis leveled midway through the second half and we once again failed to regai...
Personally I would lower the tempo there's no need for high tempo, remove the look for overlap so your back 4 remains a back 4 and select hit early crosses so your wingers look to hit the target man as quick as possible, and remove the work into the...

Well that's a strange month, 4 games, 4 draws and most frustratingly we should have won all 4 of them! We dominated against Uni Catolica but couldn't find a way through, against Rangers Estevez finally put us ahead afte...

A 0-0 draw in the first leg of the cup tie, not bad considering we made a host of changes with league action just 3 days away, we probably just shaded things but I can't begrudge Temuco a draw. With most of our team fres...

We opened the month with 3 straight wins which put us top briefly, Kevin Medel's penalty was enough to secure a narrow victory at Audax Italiano, we then picked up a huge win at home to defending champions Union Espanola wi...
Thanks to Dan for cleaning the thread up after I lost around 3 months of game time, now on with replaying the 12 games that I lost!
By Ipswich Knights | On 12 February 2016 - 10:02 AM GMTSo. We are 60 mil in the red, loaning payments til 2031 expected to be 180 million in debt by 2029 haha.
This is so tough. Transfer budget is gone and most my players want to leave. I think there is...
Great read so far, i've got family ties in Berwick so i'm fond of it as a place, nice to see someone managing them. Lincoln would be a great move considering they're in the National North!

An excellent start to my O'Higgins career but in truth there was very little in terms of a test for us, the Cup was used as our pre season schedule with just one friendly against a local side before it which we won 4-0. We op...
I'm starting to realise there is no point doing anything in FM16, players just whinge about everything possible and even when there is the option to interact they always end up threatening to turn the squad against you! I guess the only way round the...

It's a shame you've lost interest it's been great following the career up to now and you've done really well, maybe one day you'll continue but there's no point forcing it.

Recommended setup is England only which is just over 7,000 players and my current save has an approx player count of over 66,000. Needless to say the game is now at snails pace!

By Ipswich Knights | On 27 January 2016 - 06:27 AM GMTwhat you want is to go into player instructions for your centre backs and set them to close down much less and stick to position. I noticed a big difference .
I did that and it made no difference, I t...
Doesn't sound like the club pays much attention to the finances in terms of budgets set, surprised you've not fallen foul of FFP regs yet haha
Some great signings there mate money well spent, Guillavogui & Aranguiz could be a fantastic pairing in midfield both excellent although with Frei & Loftus-Cheik as well you're well stocked in there, Moreno should be a good buy, clinical fini...
