Utterly crazy game. Özil went from being an awful buy early on to being the catalyst in this game. Felt like nearly every goal went through him. Crazy.

£3.5M in prize money too :)
Leno and Neymar got a 4 rating. If you look at the stats, it's very even (I actually slightly edge it). Neymars been fecking useless for me since he went up to 95.

Yeah, when I was looking at the stats of your players earlier on I was surprised to see his stats so relatively low compared to normal. Its like Lewa and he have switched roles.

I think I'd be interested in joining this. Do you suggest I play on my own for a bit first or should I just join right away?

Just play straight away, the only difficult thing is looking for players to build your team as we have so many player controlled clubs now all the best talent is bought up.

I suggest you go for Charlton as they have a chance of being promoted to Division 2.

Or you can go the low league route.

Are they bad?
A few tips:
  • The bigger the stadium your club has the more income you'll earn, this can be a big advantage in lower leagues.
  • The more players you have in the squad when you take over the more players you can use in part exchange deals.
  • You have to also consider if the club is in debt or how much money they have in their account.
Oxford has a very small stadium, a pretty small squad and in the relegation zone. I have no idea how much money they have, but you'll have issues I think. Charlton has the biggest squad in Division 3 and one of the biggest stadiums.

I've had rises for 7 players in the past 25 days :D.

Edit: I see Andre Horta got a plus 4. Damn you illiteratebug.

Looking forward to making my managerial debut tonight. Hoping my Leicester team can adapt to my philosophy quickly and push for automatic promotion.
