Yep, pretty poor stuff. Thankfully I score plenty of goals, 76 in 32 games now. Coming to the business end of the season so I think I'm going to have to try and shore it up a bit now, don't know how though! The players are there, just not the system. Might have to reign in one of my midfielders and see what happens for a start.

Did that and finally got sorted cheers mate.

I have a load of games on the go, in different countries including Man City, Wolfsburg, Zenit, Udinese, Bordeaux, New York Red Bulls, Gold Coast United and Santos. Just keeping busy in the school holidays !

2nd season at Bradford and sat handily placed in the League 1 play-off places after 20 games. It would be even better if I could get a break from these ridiculous injuries. 3 of my first choice midfield 4 have been laid low for the last month. Just when I get a few players back more get injured.

Key signings this year are Nathan Tyson (15 goals in 18 league games) and Barry Bannan, who can play all across the midfield.

Started out at City. Got bored. Went to Calagiri. Got bored.

Ended up at Southampton with a team lying in 12 with 14games to go. Pushed them to 5th and got knocked out in the 1st round.

Now i'm 1st in the league after 22 games. 3 points clear and a pretty good squad.

GK - A. McGregor (Loan)
DR - J. Ostemebor
DL - D. Harding
DC - F. Stoor (bought from Fulham £2.5m)
DC - P. Jones (Loan)
MC - M. Potts (Bought from City for £2m)
MC - D. Plessis (£800k from 'pool)
AM - A. Llana/J Puncheon
ST - B. Zamora (£1.9m buy from Fulham)
ST - R. Lambert
ST - V. Anichebe/L. Barnard

Started a random game with Leyton Orient in League One. Had two seasons there, finishing mid table both seasons just worked on getting my own team together and getting the club into a bit of shape and sorting the wage situation out. Never had any problems scoring goals but always conceded lots, in my third season things improved and I got them into a play off position, Bristol City came in for me just after Christmas who where 20th in the Premier League and practically relegated but I took the offer because I was scared of failing with Orient and having to spend another season trying to get them into the play offs.

I wrote off the Premier League season, got to the end of the season and released and sold the players who didn't want to be there and tried getting my own team sorted. Resigned some good players who had done well for City in the Championship before and signed some experienced players, including a 37 year old David Beckham. Life in the Championship is going well, played about 13 games in the league and i'm unbeaten at the top, pushed Spurs close in the FA cup losing 2-1. Funnily enough, Leyton Orient came 2nd in League One and gained promotion and are now in the same league, but havn't signed any new players and are using my squad in the Championship with a new manager, i'm interested to see how they get on.

Anybody ever had a striker have a great couple of seasons, and then really, really struggle til about Febuary/March? i.e. given chances every week tried to keep his confidence up but scoring once every month or something, only to then recover and score 8 goals in two games, doubling his seasonal tally?

Just happened in my Madrid game with Marcus Berg

Not got the one on PC, wish I did though.

Got it for iPhone, going to start a new season/career, any tips on which team to be, players to sign, tactics, strategies etc.

Thanks.

If you're a lower league side then try to get Dani Pacheco (Liverpool) or Harris Vukic (Newcastle) on loan, they'll score you some much needed goals

Kakuta from Chelsea.

In my 5 seasons at Madrid, got to the CL final three times and Europa final once. 4/5 seasons we have reached a final. The other time being like in real life last year and losing to Lyon in the first KO stage of the CL.

Lost every time! Why can we trounce everyone in the league, knock teams like Barca out in 1/4 and 1/2 finals yet always lose the bloody final!

Even Porto beat us in the Europa final and they didn't do nothing special in their league. We were 2-0 down at half time, two quickfire goals in the second half levelled it and we went in front in ET, only for them to equalise and then beat us 6-4 on pens!

First season against Man Utd, was a trappy game and they sickened us in extra time.
Last season in the CL, Juventus beat us quite convincingly 1-0 and were all over us so no complaints.
However, we were tat against Arsenal this year and lucky to get it to penalties, but unlucky not to win as well. At 1-1 in extra time, we won a pen, Kaka missed, they scored down the other end, we equalised to take it to penalties. Missed 2/5 pens to Arsenal only missing one!

In the final, I don't do anything differently to big game semi finals or big league games so can't see why this happens. Beating the likes of Barca and Atletico in Spanish Cup finals happens for us.

I've not been on for a while, so decided to start a new game with Tottenham in hope that i can lead them to the top. Only just started the game, and i've chose to gain continental qualification through league position, as i am confident that is possible.

I've only completed pre-season, and so far i've signed:

IN
Juan Roman Riquelme (£3Million)
Fernando Gago (£4.8Million - Installments)
Jack Rodwell (£15million - Installments)

Out
Kyle Walker (Loan)
Dorian Dervite (Loan)
John Bostock (Loan)

I usually go mad in the transfer window but i've bought just what i needed this time around. I've not really sold anyone, but i believe i've strengthened the midfield quite a bit and added some experience and depth in there. I am looking to maybe sell Bentley and Jenas but no rush, if no-one wants them then its no problem as were in a good position to put up a good challenge. My only problem so far is the morale of my players seem quite bad, and was like that when i came to the club.

I have quite a few injured players to start the season, mainly defenders, the following are all injured:

Ledley King
Vedran Corluka
Johnathon Woodgate
Michael Dawson
Gareth Bale
Eidur Gudjohnson

Quite a crisis really to start the season but King and Corluka aren't too far away, with the rest a few months away. King got injured 3 times in pre-season, so thats quite realistic. My team to start the season is looking as follows:

Gomes

Corluka
Kaboul
Bassong
Assou-Ekotto

Gago (Defensive)
Modric (Attacking/play maker)

Lennon
Riquelme
Kranjcar

Defoe

Bench:

Cudicini
Rodwell
Huddlestone
Palacios
Bentley
Crouch
Pavlyuchenko

I'm going to try to get back into this after the completely unfair way I was treated following those two takeovers. I still feel bitter about it, really took it personally and against the game too.

Saddened bitter? Never.

You had a bad experience there mate?



You claiming Saddened to be a bitter football fan? never.

Yeah, it was terrible. It was a few months ago and I can't even remember the circumstances. I was at a club, somewhere like Arsenal and doing really well, turning them from near relegation to champions. Then I was sacked after the club was taken over. I went somewhere else, can't really remember where and the same thing happened again. I haven't played the game since, I felt sick about it for weeks, like I'd been stabbed in the back.



I'll get it updated and start again tonight.

Bit of a disastrous start to my Tottenham career to be honest. First 5 games of the season haven't got particularly well, although i couldn't have started the season much harder.

Arsenal 2 - 1 Tottenham.

I had Gago sent off after 36 minutes, and wa 2 down after 14 minutes, so in the end not all that bad of a result, but a loss.

Tottenham 1 - 1 Man United.

Played well, but went 1 goal down with only 10 minutes to go, Pavlyuchenko score a last mintue equaliser. Good result.

Tottenham 2 - 2 Nottingham Forrest (Tottenham win 6-5 on pens - League Cup).

Due to all the injuries i rested a few players for this game but the team that started were still good enough to win the game. Went 2 goals down in the first half, so i brought Modric and Defoe on for the second half, followed by Pavlyuchenko and managed to drag it back to 2-2, won on pens.

Tottenham 1 - 0 Portsmouth.

Rubbish performance, scored a late goal to just about win the game, a draw would have been a fair result.

Hull City 2 - 1 Tottenham.

Disaster happened here. On previous games i don't put a keeper on the bench, however for this season i have been doing with Cudicini. However, Gomes picked up an injury on international duty, only a small injury and probably could have played but i chose to rest him. Cudicini started the game and got injured in the 30th minute, when we were already 1-0 down, as Hull scored early. I had to put King in net, and we scored a penalty but then Hull scored a late winner, under the circumstances not bad, but games that we can't afford to lose. And now, just because King had to play the rest of the game in net, he is saying he isn't happy about the position hes been asked to play, how ridiculous.

Not a brilliant start, but a tough start especially the first two games, so hopefully we start to pick up, also starting to get some body's back.

Squad has changed again at Madrid, four new signings in important positions. Start of 6th season.

Will post new squad tomorrow, as I'm in work at 7 and really should get myself to bed.

The fixture list hasn't been too kind, was hoping for the first 6/8 weeks to be easy games to help the new lads gel in together. In the first 6 games, we had very strong looking Atletico and Barca sides at home, drawing 0-0 against Atletico and going down 1-0 against Barca, due to a terrible Ramos backpass at our end leaving Bojan an almost open goal and our finishing being awful up the top end. Sitting second on 13 points after 6 games, one behind at Aletico, one in front of Barca who have a game in hand.

Tweaking my player roles/duties slightly to try and help these new lads adapt a bit quicker.

How hard is it in Aus?

Got bored down under and took over at Nott'm Forest when they were languishing in 23rd in the Championship. Got them upto 14th at the end of the season without buying any players apart from a young loanee centre half as back up.
Will look for a couple of new players and try and push for the play offs next year. Any ideas on who to sign?

Had started the 2014/15 season well at Spurs until I was thumped 4-1 by Man Utd (three late goals really but they deserved the win) and then lost in the last min away to Fiorentina in the CL. Should still get out the group though.

Side looks like this:

Ochoa (Akinfeev signed from Moscow for £5m but only arrives in Jan)

Behrami
Kacar
Godin
Bassong

Lennon
Palacios/Huddlestone
Gago
Bale

Berbatov/Crouch
Odamelek (regen) - Czech International aged about 21 and cost me £22m from Newcastle.

Could somebody post a link of the online download of the demo for FM2010.

Thank you

I started a new game with Bristol City putting the database to start the game in February 2010.

They were 14th by that time so I brought in 11 players on free transfers (including Marcus Bent, Joe Cole, and Marlon Harewood) and pushed them up to 8th only missing out on the playoffs by 1 point.

I have continued my rebuilding for the start of this season with 10 more players mostly with free transfers, including bringing in Thierry Henry on a free. I sold 20 players for £3.1 Million and released a couple at the end of their contracts like Lee Trundle. Changed all of my coaching, scouting, physio staff.

Now played 5, won 3, drawn 1, lost 1 and in 4th place.

How could you afford the wages of Cole and Henry?
