Woot. Champions League football for Everton in 12/13

I've been given £42.13m to play with for a transfer budget.

Going to be looking to add a striker, upgrade at right back, pick up some fullback depth as Neville is ancient and really shouldn't be seeing much playing time, a rotation central midfielder, and an upgrade over Donovan at right wing.

Donovan has been really solid for me both seasons, but he's getting old, and he's continually losing pace/acceleration so I'll be looking to replace him sooner rather than wait for him to completely fall off.

Tim Cahill agreed to a mutual contract termination after I was unable to find anyone that wanted to sign him as well.

Brought in:

Adam Johnson from Man City
Bruno in on loan from Man City
Khouma Babacar from Fiorentina
Kyle Naughton from Tottenham
Gonzalo Rodriguez from Villareal

Out:

Tim Cahill (mutual termination)
John Heitinga (£7.5m to Leverkusen)
Jan Mucha

Starting XI

------Love---Babacar------
Johnson--------------Young
------Rodwell-Fellaini-------
Baines-Jagielka-Cahill-Whittaker
----------Howard-----------

Defeated Roma 4-3 on aggregate. Lost 3-1 @ Roma, then won 3-0 at home. This was in the Champions League Best Placed Playoff.

I've been given a tough group draw though. Seeded 3rd, I drew Atletico Madrid, Juventus, and LASK Linz.

Had to stop playing during finals. Just restarted and it's really nice to be healthy again. Since the return of my starting 11 I've won three in a row, 3-0, 5-1, and a 2-1 comeback at Man City.

Came into that game going 4-4-2 instead of the usual 4-5-1 away against a big side, but the previous two results were too good to change. Colo got a red ten minutes in, I still played well but they scored on a fluke in the 50th. Went into overload and Carroll put two away in the last ten minutes. Four goals in two games for him. Funny too, because he was awful in the last month, but as soon as RvN, McFadden, etc., came back he's been awesome.

Started my first Everton save on FM11 and opened up against Liverpool at home and whooped that ass 5-1. Yakubu with 3 and Cahill with 2. I was unable to capture Donovan as he went to Man City because they really need him .

Going to download this tonight. Plan on running with an EPL team.

I am in October of my first season and I had to repick my lineup and captains. When I repick my lineup and captains and hit "Submit Roster" it won't let me and says that I haven't picked my captains or my keeper yet. Anyone know what the hell I have to do?

Screenshots? That might help me figure it out. Right now I'm not quite catching what you're saying.

Upset Liverpool on the road again 2-1 in the League Cup.

Nevermind. It fixed itself when I restarted it. I have no idea what the problem was.

Then I went on to defeat my rival, Hull, 2-0

Who are you rolling with?

[Fappin Raptor]

3 road games into the season and I have 3 losses and have yet to score a goal. 3 home games in and I have 3 wins and have scored 13 and allowed 1.

Anyone looking for a good training schedule who doesn't like making their own (like myself), these have been said to be pretty good. http://fm-ramblings.blogspot.com/201...l-manager.html

Scunthorpe United.

I wanted to try a team who was only known regionally and was at the absolute bottom so I could try to bring them up. So far I am sitting mid-table but can't string any wins together.
