Started as United, I know it's not much of a challenge but what the hell. I'm looking to build a super team for the future, no signings over 25. I'll update on my progress.

My latest job is Blackburn. I'm in 2015 now and I think this is my 5th job! I've inherited a team that's in 17th in the Premiership and half of the squad are the wrong side of 30. I have 9 games to hopefully avoid relegation then a massive overhaul in the summer.

I was offered the Brazil job and took over in the Quarter Finals of the Copa America, easy to win it really beating USA, Argentina (who ended up with 9 men) and Uruguay in the Final. Concentrating on Liverpool though, had a major clear out getting rid of Skrtel, Ngog, El Zhar, Michael Johnson, Deco and Andras Simon.

Still looking to buy a defender after my offer for Neven Subotic was rejected after going up to £15m which was the most I would pay...

I got Mathias Jorgensen on my game for £3m at the start of the season, he can usually be bought for under £10m if he's not moved to a big club, here's a screenshot of him on mine:- i47.tinypic.com/2po5hsz.jpg You could try for the likes of Omer Toprak, Geromel, Bochetti, Papastathopoulos (not copied and pasted!) and David Luiz. There are plenty of class defenders on the game, if you're on 10.2.0, Danny Wilson will be an immense signing.

Zapata and Sakho have always performed well for me.

Didn't have a bad 2009/10 and finished in 10th although should have been higher but for some poor results towards the end.

Highlight of the season would be beating Spurs 1-0 at home and drawing 1-1 away with only 10 men.

My 1st choice XI last season would have been:

Kirkland

Boyce
Stephen Taylor (signed from Newcastle for 3m)
Bramble
Edman (Figueroa went to Bayern Munich)

Sinclair
Gomez
Scharner
N'Zogbia

Welbeck (on loan from Man Utd)
Rodallega

Haven't started 2010/11 well at the moment though and have a number of injuries and suspensions already and can't seem to score goals.

Kirkland

Boyce
Taylor
Bramble
Silvestre (signed on a free after Edman went to Villareal)

Sinclair (signed for £1.5m from Chelsea after impressing on loan)
Gomez/O'Hara (signed O'Hara in January with looking to play him LB but after signing Silvestre have moved him into the midfield where he played towards the end of last season)
Patrick Viera (signed on a free)
N'Zogbia

Welbeck (loaned from Man Utd again)
Scotland (too injury prone last season but scored plenty of goals when fit)

Managed to beat Spurs again this season and push Chelsea close but losing too often to the poorer sides.

Mid-way through the second season with Fleetwood and after winning promotion last year, I'm sitting third in the BSP with half of the season gone - not bad given that the expectation was third from bottom at best.

The finances are worrying me though. After a board takeover at the end of last season brought the finances back to secure, I was still losing money hand over fist. A cash injection of £90k hasn't done much to help either, despite me working will within the budgets that I've been given.

With that in mind, worrying about the situation, I've taken the initiative. Some of my players were being paid far too much for part time contracts so as near as dammit the entire reserve squad was shipped out - that raised about £60k in player sales, and I've drafted in a handful of unattached youngsters on £50 a week to compliment the reserves / U18s. The other players were brought on to full time contracts for the same money - if I'm paying them the sort of money I was then I may as well have my coaches working with them full time rather than for two nights a week after work. Hopefully that will show in improved match fitness and player development. Total wage bill has gone from around £10,450 a week to just over £8,400 a week against a budget of £11,200 - still too much for my liking mind.

Ooooooh! Just been offered the job at Portsmouth.

They're 18th in the Prem, 5pts away from safety with 8 games remaining, five or so against teams around them.

Asked to delay my decision to the end of the season - see if they've not gone bust by then

Once the new 10.3 patch is up and running, I'll start a game as Wigan and make it the focus of my attention.

I'm doing alright as Arsenal but winning the league on 10.2 seems pretty much impossible without cheating.

The league table in my second season finished

1 - Chelsea 103 pts
2 - Man City 101 pts
3 - Arsenal (Me) 90 pts

Third season with 5 games to go

1 - Man City 93 pts
2 - Chelsea 93 pts
3 - Arsenal (Me) 88 pts
4 - Spurs 82 pts
5 - Man U 81 pts

At the moment 80 points equates to 8th and no European place



With the run ins they have City and Chelsea are likely to finish with on 6 points dropped each. So 3 draws and it'd be season over. I could finish on 103 points and finish 3rd

The thing that annoys me most is how poor their sides are. Chelsea have Bendtner up front on his own in a 4-5-1 and City have the likes of SWP, Ireland and Benjani in the team.

In real life 90 is normally enough for the title, teams beating that marker tend to win the league by about 12 points. 68 points was enough for Liverpool to finish 3rd a couple of years ago and Everton reached the Champions League from 4th with 61 points in 2005.

Things have been getting better at the DW recently. Thumping wins over Hull (3-0), West Brom (5-1) and QPR (5-0) have helped me climb from the bottom 3 having just 4 points to 9th with 19 points and 1 defeat in 6 (3-2 to Arsenal)

Thinking of starting a new game. Fancy a premiership team. Don't want to play a boring game as the top 4 or Man City, far too easy. A team in mid-lower table is my thinking. Anybody managed a team like this? If so who would you suggest?

Sunderland? Got a bit of cash to spend, reasonable squad, but needs improving.

Wigan. With the new patch, they'll have some quality players like N'Zogbia, Rodallega, Moses, etc and have a reasonable budget. Also the board's expectations aren't that ambitious so they don't ask that much of you.

Any idea when the new patch will be released? I assume it's to coincide with the transfer window so this week?

I'd imagine so.

Does anyone know where I can download facepacks and club/competition logos for free ?

After 28 games of my season I'm sitting in 2nd place, 10 points behind Chelsea but 5 points ahead of Everton in 3rd (with a game in hand over them). Just lost my 26 game unbeaten streak with a 2-0 loss at home to Man Utd, my only other loss was 1st game of the season at City.

Trying to sign Benayoun back on a free as i am getting quite a few injuries, but my 3 strikers are on hot form, Torres has 33 in 47, Boyd 26 in 47 and Edin Dzeko on 29 in 47. I usually start Boyd on the bench and bring him on as a sub as he usually plays well.

Semi final of the FA cup against City and if I win then I will have the winners of Everton vs Fulham/Stoke, so I think I if I can beat City then I have a good chance. Also in the last 16 of the Europa League against Getafe and won 2-1 in the away leg but Gerrard was sent off so he misses the second leg...

Also signed Jan Vertonghen (Sp?) in central defence who is quite strong after the board accepted a £14.75m bid for Daniel Agger from Barca for me, how kind

...

I got my comp logos off fm-base

Started with Liverpool ended up getting the push after 18months.

Went to Leeds for 4years, got promoted and ended up struggling in the Champ. 2 seasons in there and got to 8th, then got offered the villa job. Yes please!

Did you have to register for them ? I tried to get them before from there, but it wouldn't let me.

Sortitoutsi.

Yep

Ended up with Stoke now in January 2016. Got sacked from Villa after about 6months in charge. Took them to 5th and ended up in 11th after 6 games without a win.

Stoke are pretty good tbf. Nice £16m transfer budget. Just dont know who to sign
