    I have yet to properly start on FM still. Just started a career with Lincoln City but then carried on playing on fifa and then a Back to the Future pc game which came out a few months ago.

    Starting on FM to quell my fifa addiction. Didn't go to sleep the other night just stayed up playing it, 12 straight hours. Finished a whole season. I felt so sad, yet so accomplished at the same time. Though I've heard FM is equally as addictive, so doesn't bode well haha

    Any first timer tips would be greatly appreciated though! :)

    I read online that some guy was with Grimbsy and got them to the FA cup final in his 4th season.

    He was so overjoyed at this that he went out and brought a suit, drove all the way to Wembly, sat in the stands and watched the whole 90 mins.

    That my friends, is commitment.

    He was surprisingly good! <laugh> Bought him as back up and he ended up being in my first team!

    He was appointed captain after I left <laugh>

    What! <laugh> Im impressed with the signing of Aaron Ramsey though, such a good player. Hoping he doesn't get games at Arsenal next year and joins us next summer.

    Not on the update either mate, the only thing he does well is head the ball so I gave him every opportunity, first season scored 23 goals

    Also sold Vukic for £5M first season to Bayern, judging by some comments I should have kept him.

    Vuckic turns into a hell of a player he wasn't setting the world alight when I was giving him plenty of opportunities and demanded a better contract so I sold him to Liverpool for 3million of all the ****ing teams, he scored against me in the League Cup final which proved to be the only goal of the game :(

    Do i take it too seriously?
    Well, yes, yes i do. I wore a suit when i took spurs to the 2012 Champions league final for **** sake. I even printed off a picture of the Allianz Areana and stared at it for ten minutes whilst listening to the Champions league music on youtube. So yes, i think i take it too far.

    Then when we lost the game(2-1 Barcelona btw), i consoled my players, and talked to the press about how proud i was.....in my head.

    Vuckic did nothing for me, was just constantly loaning him out to championship clubs waiting for him to become good.

    Exactly what I did, he always did amazing on loan at a club but when I got him back he was useless.

    I started a game with Arsenal, signed Vuckic on loan for the first season, about half way through and he's been pretty ****e so far, giving him half an hour or so nearly every match, he's played about 13 premier league games, 12 as a sub. Started in the cups and in Europe sometimes.
