    Best injured too. :(
    Ben Arfa came back from injury, but now Ireland is injured and apparently out for 6 months, I've been advised to end his contract haha.

    It's all about the experience I suppose..ha


    Looks like it's Shola time!

    Pretty bad luck, such injury crises would affect even the most experienced FMers season.

    Are they injured in training or games? If its training then you might have to change the training regime.

    All injured during games. They're literally dropping like flies. Jose's injured too, forgot about him. Ferguson's covering well though, so all is good.

    Haha, good luck. I've literally just turned my game off which is the main reason I'm still awake.

    Thanks ha, I'll need all the luck I can get...
    I was gonna aim for mid table but to be honest that's hardly likely now ha.

    Didn't realise it was this late. Still plenty of FM/Fifa-ing time left though.

    Think I finished around 12th in my first season, got 9th and the league cup 2nd season to get me into Europe which platformed me to challenge top 4! Midtables acceptable (then again youre playing with the patch update, so have a lot of money ;))

    I was top or second at Christmas first season after a stupidly good streak, finally things got realistic and I started losing/drawing and fell to around 6th come April.

    Get Kevin De Bruyne from Genk. He's excellent as an attacking midfielder and as the years go by improves his finishing. Best striker at my club is Gameiro.

    Does anyones fixtures go loopy? I played a league cup game on boxing day, had THREE away games to start a season, ended up having 5 games in hand on teams who had played 36. The club world championships don't help. They are so ****, my reserve team wins that for me!

    Anyone here manage a national side? I didnt know you could have a club and country job until lately, so applied for the Italy job and got it. Literally 2 days later England offered me a job as well. Got turned down for Spain and the Ivory Coast before that.

    Finally finished first season (wasn't able to start playing until February-ish due to PC problems). Respectable 11th in the league.

    Relatively impossible to sign players it seems with the lack of funds available. Demba Ba was worth 4million so I asked the club for the fund and they went and spent 12 ****ing million on him. Bollocks.

    Got Michael Kightly in from Wolves and Van Hollit on loan from Chelsea. Sold Carroll to Birmingham, Campbell to some German team and didn't have the funds to keep Ben Arfa. Sent Ranger and Lua Lua out on loan. Jonas wants a move but he can **** right off.

    If anyones starting a new save with Newcastle, at the start you can get Benzema in on loan only paying 50% of his wages. He is scoring for fun in mine at the moment.
