    Not outstanding but for the price he's handy to say the least.

    Spent two seasons remaining faithful to the players who got me promoted, but I don't think it's ever going to get me into the top half. I think it's time to apply the three changes which took my old Deportivo side from mediocre to awesome:

    - Switch to 4-5-1
    - Sign Fierro
    - Sign El Shaarawy

    This tactic I downloaded off the Internet mate. It's incredible! Put it in for Preseason, in February I'm now second, most goals scored. Only lost three games all season! Paloschi who I signed last season scored 9 in his first season. This season he's scored something like 27. :L

    Paloschi on a free in the 2nd season? That's what I did and he was an absolute monster, scored 116 in 234 and is now a club legend, managed to sell him for £6.5mil as well after 8 seasons at the club, considering he was free. Also picked up Crisetig on a free in the same transfer market. My two best transfers on this save. Crisetig is now worth £17.5mil and I'm in 2024.

    Just noticed something, I'm currently on a 5 year contract worth £130,000 a week, which I think means I'm the 4th highest earner at the club, living the dream.

    Also, worth noting, who has the bragging rights of earning the most in their respective careers?

    Mines at £36.5 million :p

    Not working particularly well for me. It seems like it should only be used by top sides. Defense gets opened up way too easily.

    Need to start building my squad for next season. Already got Jack Butland coming in, need a new left back, one of Joe Bennett or Alex Buttner.

    Might need a new striker too.

    Unbelievable youth candidate. Shame he's only 5'10", but I assume as he's 15 he'll grow a bit?

    He might get to 6'0" if you're lucky.

    He looks unbelievable though!

    Surely 18 tackling on a 15-year old is pretty much unheard of? My assistant says his current ability is already 1.5 stars (making him as good as Aaron Martin), with 5 star potential obviously.

    Just benefited from the most ridiculous own goal I've ever seen in this game: the keeper receives a back-pass and then, for no earthly reason, stands with the ball on the goal line for a couple seconds before casually booting it off the post and into his own net, no other player within 30 yards. Recorded it, but for some reason the quality is absolutely abysmal.

    there's two versions, stand off and press; i use press. i got it so i'm completely fluid with it, and it's worked quite well. Stand off works better for smaller teams apparently.

    Looks like Djuricic is going to be annoying and fail to get a work permit. Who should I sign as a MC advanced playmaker?
