Congrats!Promoted!
Dzeko loves wales too much.Dropped 2 points. Should have had locked in 9th place.
Decent season considering.
If had won the dzeko bid probably a nicer finish next season.
8th place in the GD table. Just needed to be more clinical and the game stop robbing me of wins.
Goal for next season:
- At least 15th place
- Quarter-final in either Cup or Shield competition
- Increase my team's value to 470m
- Win at least 1 game against Man Utd in any competition
Targets for next season (changing tactics entirely so likely to be a shitshow):
- Avoid relegation
- Last 32 in either Cup or Shield
- Win a trophy
- Get six points against Leeds United
You get to face me again in the post-season friendlies
- P3 W0 D1 L2

Yep. Just let me know which you decide. You'll get a place in the Reading draft as well (you pick a player and pay the cash as mentioned in the bold bit above - FV = Face Value (cash value listed)).I'm gonna jump in on this. Can I just take any club without a manager?
I've taken PrestonYep. Just let me know which you decide. You'll get a place in the Reading draft as well (you pick a player and pay the cash as mentioned in the bold bit above - FV = Face Value (cash value listed)).
Reading has good players but you don't want to manage them as they're £45M in debt so can't make signings without hindering the squad.
Good time to join as the most recent season has just finished.
Accepted. Welcome to the league. You'll be second in the draft.I've taken Preston
We face each other in the curtain raiser Charity Shield too55 games unbeaten... Not too shabby.
I can't see that record lasting too long in Div2
Your FFP aka squad limit is now 60. Good luckI've taken Preston
Targets for next season:
- Won the title
- Last 32 of Cup, Last 4 in Shield
- Won SMFA Super Cup and Manchester United's fifth league title
- Yes
- Finish in Top 4
- Last 16 in either Cup or Shield
- Win a trophy
- Get a bank balance of at least £720M (currently £701M)
- Get at least four points against Hereford FC
I fully expect Phil to do well against me this season. He's got a good squad. Four is perhaps being a bit optimistic but the title win has given me so much confidence.Poor Hereford.
Do you make a profit every week?Targets for next season:
- Won the title
- Last 32 of Cup, Last 4 in Shield
- Won SMFA Super Cup and Manchester United's fifth league title
- Yes
- Finish in Top 4
- Last 16 in either Cup or Shield

- Get at least four points against Hereford FC
Even with my wages I get so much prize money from winning trophies that my finances keep building and got nothing to spend it on as nobody will accept part exchanges from me anymore.
Must be quite a headache to manage that squad and ensure that every one gets enough games to not develop concernsEven with my wages I get so much prize money from winning trophies that my finances keep building and got nothing to spend it on as nobody will accept part exchanges from me anymore.
Been trying to exchange a 94, 92 and a 91 for a 92 rated player younger than 25 and nobody will accept
Poor Hereford.
Has been okay but next season I've got an influx of three more players than normal (Pulisic, Zakaria, Elvedi that I've listed there). I like to use a spreadsheet to keep on top of things, but I remember from a discussion I had with greeny a while back that I might be too stringent on playing time so having players 10%ish below their target rather than over could be okay.Must be quite a headache to manage that squad and ensure that every one gets enough games to not develop concerns
If true hopefully he gets good playing time. Valencia fans have been talking about bringing in two experienced defenders so doesn't sound good for his chances. Pepe really likes him (I assume from the emoji in the YT video title). Really is criminal how the Porto manager ostracised him as, the few times he played, the Porto fans liked him.Diogo Leite to Valencia. Congrats @Damien
Yeah I know about your use of spreadsheet, you've mentioned it before. Incidentally, I tried to make a spreadsheet to tract the games that each player was getting, just couldnt be arsed after 10 odd gamesHas been okay but next season I've got an influx of three more players than normal (Pulisic, Zakaria, Elvedi that I've listed there).

Well done! I'm raging I got those two draws nowLeyton on the cusp of a perfect season.
There's a schedule that leagues are reviewed in. greeny has been keeping track for a few years. The big five (Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, Premier League) are reviewed twice a season - around December and May - while the other leagues are mostly reviewed once. Real life times have different rating 'caps' - which is a rating you won't really see players exceed. For the Championship, the cap is approx 85, for Ligue 1 teams in the bottom half it is around 83-84 while for the other big five leagues you tend to see ratings higher.How does ratings increase work for young players?
Nope. They do have a single player version, which is the FM kinda style (or was when it launched a few years back) but I found it pretty lacklustre.Ahh ok so it is all based off of real life performances? So there is no point playing them in game to develop ala FM?
