I'm not sure I prefer this year's to FM 13. Sure the match engine is much prettier, and it runs more smoothly overall, but the depth of the player instructions is too damn time consuming.

For much of FM13 I went back to the dots. I prefer my imagination to the mediocre 3D

The year is 2017 in my Norwich City save and I've got Roy Keane as my asst manager. I have him attend press conferences because I find them to be tedious and dull. However, in the pre-match buildup to Arsenal, Keane was asked if we knew what to expect from Arsenal, if we could see them employing any tactical surprises. Keane's response....?

"I could name their starting eleven if you wanted."

What a complete bastard. Loved it.

Bought Benteke for 21m, didn't score at all during pre-season and the first half of the season, he was looking like a massive flop. Persevered with him and it almost cost me my job, finally got his first goal late January and has been on fire since then, 7 in 6 and averaging a match rating of 8.2, the beast is finally unleashed

In my 3rd year with Liverpool. Won the league my first year. Took 2nd in the second year and lost the CL final to Napoli 1-0. Suarez got player of the year though but now in my third year he has shit the bed. Constantly hurt and not scoring. Raheem is a monster though, as is Suso.

Also BR took over Arsenal and we don't like each other. United also blew the title on the last day two years in a row.

I won the league my first season and then finished 3rd in the second season. Suarez and Sturridge went crazy in the first season. Suarez had over 20 goals and 20 assists in the first season, won every award possible. Then in the second season he had a massive dip in form and Sturridge couldn't score at all. It was really strange to see it happen. That combined with our defense that went from the best in the league to complete shambles didn't help either. Typical second season syndrome I guess.

Sturridge couldn't do anything for my first season and was alright in the second. He's finally started to come around though. I'd say Sterling has been the most consistent of the three and also Coutinho is oddly scoring a bunch in my third season. Pepe Reina ended up coming back and beating out Migs for first choice keeper and I just sold Migs after the second season.

So here's something else I've been noticing, without the options to determine target men, supply lines, etc. my strikers seem totally incompetent on the pitch. I'm scoring almost wholly from my wingers, which is quite annoying.

It's not something related to league level, at least I don't think. I'm trying out Porto to really get down how the tactics function in this year's version and Jackson Martinez (a class player in Portuguese Premier) seems to stand at the top of the box, regardless of player role.

Need SLB to draw one time in last 3 matches to win the league. Please God.

After all my saves being corrupted I've decide to start a new adventure in the Bosnian Premier League with Sarajevo
