All my African players are doing ANC qualifying in midweek, draining me for an away tie with Lyon. Instead of Ba/Cisse/Diame/Tiote I am having to play Emil Larssen, Jonathon Periera and Colo as a DM. Still winning 1-0 but it's tight

I've had about 10 mil each year, supplanted by player sales. I have structured a lot of my signings over 48 months, so that's helped. When we were Top 6 in January last season, he also reupped my budget to £10 mil (on top of the £10 mil I spent in the summer) and then another £10 mil this summer.

Cool. I was just curious because I'm looking to kick off a game with HSV this weekend and the chairman there is as cheap as can possibly be in the game. Which seems unrealistic and I'm leaning toward doing a bit of eding on that, one way or another.
 
Ended 1-1 in Lyon after I gave away a PK. Can't help but feel if I'd had Papiss up front it was a win

Second place in the group with a 1-2-0 record and 5 points. Schalke on 7, Lyon on 4, Olympiakos on zero
 
The press just asked me straight up about my relationship with Mike Ashley

Just had one of those games that gets you pumping your fist at the computer, 3-2 against Wolves

We get up 1-0 early, through a Ba strike. Looks like we will cruise to an easy win over relegation fodder. Steven Taylor has other thoughts though, getting skinned by Steven Hunt and then pulling him down for a straight red on 32 minutes.

Switch to a 4-3-1-1 formation, pulling of Ba and Sam for Gouleweeeuw and Diame. To make matters worse, just after half time

To make matters worse, Clerc suffers a broken leg in the 37th, forcing me to bring on Rojo and use all of my subs

Hunt scores an easy tap in off a Krul save in the 40th. Then Fletcher abuses Simpson and lofts a nice ball for Vokes to head in. 2-1 heading in to half time.

I give the boys a bollocking. I know they are down a man, but they were playing like shit

Krul makes some nice saves to keep us in it, and then Cabaye receives the ball on the edge of the box to smash in a belter in the 73rd. 2-2. I'm happy with rescuing a draw and pull back to 'counter'

Which team does with aplomb. 91st minute, Cisse receives a clearence from the defence. Giuliano pulls off his man and Cisse finds him on the break. Runs away from his defender, slots past Hennessey, 3-2 NEWCASTLE!

I just can't get into a save outside of England. :-/

Also, I'm fucking raging mad that I lost my Everton save. Somehow I managed to save over it.
 
i'm in 2017 right now, managing Ghana and i'm in love with this team, still have Essien who's prolly gonna retire any time now. Asamoah Gyan is such a monster
 
11 games into a save with Fulham (mid-November international break). 6th in the table, 6 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses. 25 goals, 20 conceded.

5 wins and 1 loss at home with 13 for and 7 against.
1 win, 2 draws, 2 losses away from home with 12 for and 13 against.

This latest international break has really hurt my side though, literally. I lost Brede Hangeland for 4 to 5 months, so basically the rest of the season, with an LCL injury. Also lost Bryan Ruiz for 3 to 4 weeks with a hip injury. He has 8 goals and 3 assists in just 8 appearances. Schwarzer is out 2 to 3 weeks as well.

Neil Etheridge has to start the next match AT Man City, without Hangeland in defense. God, that's going to be a bloodbath.

edit: It was. 6-1 Man City. Immediately recalled David Stockdale from his loan at Ipswich. I don't care that Schwarzer's only going to miss 1 or 2 more matches. I can't give away another game with Neil back there, lol. Especially since one of them is a vital match with 2 to go in the Europa League group stage.

double edit: Forgot I can't register Stockdale, so that was a pointless recall. :shifty:
 
Went to Schalke and snuck out with a 1-0 win. Cabaye started just coming off an injury and couldn't go past half time. Davide Santon was injured in the 44th and Danny Simpson was injured in the 61st, meaning we spent 30 minutes down to 10 men because I had no subs. They played valiantly, and we qualified for the knockout stages!
 
Injuries continue to destroy my team. In the last two matches I've had to trot out a back 4 of Riise-Baird-Grygera-Kelly. Halliche is away on African Cup duty, Senderos and Hughes are hurt. Both only for a couple weeks, but it was still enough to concede 8 goals in the last 2 games. We did beat West Brom 4-2, behind a Andy Johnson hat trick, but we got killed by Man U, 6-0.

And those are just the minor injuries. I lost Danny Murphy in the Man U game for 5 weeks. Murphy's been a key player, turning in 2 goals and 8 assists for a 7.22 rating. I also lost Steve Sidwell for 4 months in the same match.

The only positive note is that both occurred in January, so I have time to look for some emergency signings.

We're through to the Carling Cup final (against Chelsea), still in the FA Cup, and we've made it to the knockout rounds of the Europa League, where we have to face Napoli. The massive amount of games we've had to play this season has undoubtedly been a factor in the # of injuries I'm sure.
 
lol, now Etuhu got hurt on Nigeria duty. Out for 2 months with a torn hip labrum.

January's over.

I signed Maurice Edu from Rangers for £900k, Darron Gibson from Man U for £725k, and brought in Mehmet Topal on loan from Valencia. I needed all 3 now that all 3 of my central midfielders are injured.

In the table, 22 games in, we have 9 wins, 7 draws, and 6 losses. We've scored 40 goals, and conceded 43. My defense hasn't really been as bad as the 43 suggests, as 17 of those came in 3 games, all on the road, against Man City, Man U, and Spurs. Either way, we still are really leaky defensively, and it doesn't help obviously that half my defense is hurt. All that being said, we're still 8th in the table, and if we can pull off a win against Chelsea, we'll be back in Europe next season..

Ruiz and Johnson have scored 9 goals each, Zamora has 5, and Dempsey has 4.
 
So I've started up with Hamburg. My first friendly threw an interesting surprise at me. Serbian central mid Gojko Kacar looks like he makes an excellent defensive mid. He has the attributes to play central defense and actually can play there. He can play anywhere up the spin, including striker. My plan was to have him be the anchor man in a 4-3-3. My first match, I notice he is often up ahead of the 2 MCs that he's supposed to be backing up. I overlooked that he had a "Gets Forward Whenever Possible" PPM, along with "Runs with Ball Through Center". So he's useless as an anchor man. His Passing and First Touch are both 10, so he kinda sucks for further up the pitch. Given his Heading, Finishing, and Compure are all good, I'm considering retaining him so he's competent as a striker and using him as the greatest defensive forward ever seen. Its either that or sell him.
 
January 2013 transfer window. Currently sitting 5th on 40 pts, (12-4-4, 39 GF, 21 GA) and 9 points behind leaders Man City. Spurs are two points back with Chelsea and Arsenal 1 and 2 points ahead respectively.

Transfer plans so far have focused on youngsters-
Leo, 18 year old Argentinian LB from Boca for £1.13 mil
Giuseppie Prestia, 19 year old CB from Juve for £1.6 mil
Laurentiu Branescu, 18 year old GK from Juve for £1.9 mil

Agents seem to love offering me Juve players. These two join Frederik Sorensen in the Juve expat club. Guess they love the black and white stripes

Pending transfers are Daniel Sturridge in for £2.5 mil (finally!) and perhaps Claudemir on a loan from PSG

Dan Gosling was sold for Nott Forrest after losing patience with not playing. £3.5 mil

Jonas is on the block, but I dunno if I will get any offers
 
My U-18 squad is top of their group with 44 goals for and 8 against through 10 games :|

15 Year Old Michael Kalambay has scored 16 in 15 games for them. I don't know what level would be right for him to train at...
