    Challenging this season, 3 way battle with me City & Chelsea after 20 games, 15 points clear of Southampton in 4th. Qualified for knock-outs in CL, should be able to beat Lyon. I tried to throw the Carabou cup quarters, but failed and won, so huge fixture pile-up incoming that my squad isn't going to handle.

    It loves to give me a really **** fixture list, gave me all the best teams in the league to play when I was doing the group stages in the CL.
    Barca, Chelsea, Marseille, City, AC Milan, Liverpool, AC Milan, Man Utd, Arsenal, Barca.

    I have 1 player left from my original L2 squad, a keeper whose contract ended about 5 years ago that wants to leave but won't, went to renew his contract a few years ago as I only have 2 keepers, but he wanted 30k. I'd kick him out but he's only on 1k a week.

    Been wondering if they'll make a new one and continue them into the next gens or just update this.

    Not sure it being on gamepass is a good thing or not, perhaps they ain't sold **** all of em so far <laugh>

    Meh no different to the many fifa editions of the same game you can get now.

    Saw a Beckham edition the other day, man stopped playing football 20years ago but still sells things with his name on it like hotcakes.

    Same goes for us I guess

    I buy it once every few years. On mine fm20, liverpool are a beast and man city struggle to get top 4. Though oddly enough Newcastle aren't bad (top 10).

    Strangest thing to happen, it's 2025 and Joelinton had just been called up, to play for England. Times are tough.

    Yeh some strange ones in my game too, 2026 now, Klopp never took another job after us and retired this year.

    Southgates England won the last euros and then the wc after.

    Spurs won the uefa cup

    Bruce is still at Newcastle.

    Dyche still at Burnley

    Arsenal are officially utter **** by 2025, after Arteta is sacked, highest finish= 6th, Henry takes over for 2 years, highest finish =9th.

    Then veira has them avoiding relegation with game to spare in his 1st season and now they sit in 17th with 17 games played.

    And sancho is tearing up la liga with Barca @Tel :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Nice keeper, he'll be my first choice in a couple of years (currently not quite as good as my No.1 but he's still young)

    I bought him at 18, been loaning him out each season until this one where he's come in as cup keeper and back up for becker who is still probably the best keeper in the game at 33.

    Picked up his 1st Belgium cap since coming in too so his values gone up a fair bit last few months, signed for 11m +4 in add ons which I will end up paying this year.

    He'll be a perfect replacement for Allison after next season when I expect his attributes will sharply decline with him being about 35 then

    Dickhead wants a new 3 year deal at 400k pw so hell be off on a free when his contract runs out next season.

    Made that mistake with Mane.

    I might have to stop being so loyal to players over 28 from now on

    kind of, buy low, sell high, my board are a bit tight, I have 130m in the bank but the board only give me what I make in sales, so I sell the superstar and buy 3 hope to be superstars.
    Plus I want a new stadium, hoping that if I win a couple of things they'll name it after me.
