    Anyone playing this yet?

    First tip, get a new keeper. Nick Pope in game has the shot stopping capabilities of Freddy Woodman in real life

    Second tip, Fabian Schar hasn't been Howe'd and is dog ****.

    Third Tip. These ****ers have quite clearly never seen Bruno play.

    On a positive note, Isak bangs goals in for fun.

    Nah, from pre-season and opening half dozen games only ones we have that play decent are Wilson/Isak/Joelinton/Longstaff/ASM occasionally. Tripps occasionally.

    Botman and Schar are dodgey as at the back. Pope might as well be Casper the friendly ghost. Targett is dreadful, but Elliot Anderson is very good.

    £40m starting budget and a spare £575k a week if your playing a newcastle save.

    Some of the prices they have this year are insane too.

    Skipping '23 I think - currently got Dorking FC from Conference South to the EPL and CL in '22 - building towards world domination but it's slow progress, currently in December 2037/38 season and finished 4th last season and made it through a group of Barcelona, Ajax and Montpellier in the CL (4W1D1L) so far, QF of the league cup and sitting in 4th again currently - not won much bar a Carabao cup and Europa Conference League so far though over 16 seasons...

    Built off a platform of signing lots quality young players on loan from the top teams and then once released signing for mad wages and really pushed Dorking towards the brink of administration up until the Champ where once I had some funds behind me I started buying "golden oldies" like Sean Longstaff and Joelinton to pad the squad out. First EPL season and summer window after relegation I signed some ridiculous young players who needed a season or 2 to develop but now have a squad of 27-30y/o's who are amazing while replenishing and upgrading the squad with "wonderkids".

    Seasons
    21/22 - Conf South - 1st - (they finished the Covid season before 1st but no promotion so was a pretty easy first season)
    22/23 - Conf - 10th
    23/24 - Conf 2nd (playoff promotion)
    24/25 - L2 - 3rd (auto promotion)
    25/26 - L1 - 14th
    26/27 - L1 - 4th (play off promotion)
    27/28 - Champ - 13th
    28/29 - Champ - 6th (play off promotion)
    29/30 - EPL - 20th
    30/31 - Champ - 1st
    31/32 - EPL 14th
    32/33 - EPL 15th
    33/34 - EPL 11th
    34/35 - EPL 8th
    35/36 - EPL 10th - Carabao Cup Winner
    36/37 - EPL 4th - Europa Conf Winner
    37/38 - EPL 4th*

    Not sure I'll hold on to the CL spots this year as a lot of my players are unhappy because they want moves to "bigger clubs" and bigger wages - most want £150k-200k - some even more but current most is £130k for my captain so struggling to keep them all happy, morale is low and struggling through but do have 2 worldies coming through in January and will look to shift on some of the older unhappy players for big profits.

    It's up to the manager to make them play well, sounds like you will be getting the tin tak.

    In my mind...
    please log in to view this image


    Seriously though - I've just finished my level 2 @ Dorking's ground meadow bank (hence the save game), ran a session as part of our course with the U16's for them and working with AFC Wimbledon U15 girls currently. I did apply for the NUFC Womens team a few months back but they never came back to me (to be fair I was still level 1 and they were looking for UEFA B minimum). Applied for the waiting list UEFA B now and just waiting to start the course.

    It's 4 and a half hours online mate. The DBS screening takes longer <laugh>

    Level 2 takes 5 weeks online once a week these days n all.

    Level 1 is un-failable as it lets you change answers when you get 1 wrong <laugh>

    as for jobs NUFC women's team, with a level 1 you would currently be so far out your depth you wouldn't know what hit you

    I always say though that if you are going to be out of your depth it might as well be with a bunch of fit women.

    They are obviously sexist. I mean how could they not even consider you when your CV included the fact that you had taken Dorking from the National League to the Champions League in 1 year, on Fifa 22
