Started a new SPL save and sold half my team this time.

Brought in 3 midfielders, 2 strikers (if they ever get here..), Marco Materazzi two wingers and a proper right back. Hopefully they will do better than the failure that was my team yesterday...

Edit:

Pip! Erasmus had his work permit turned down! You didn't tell me that would be a problem

Try and get Cairney on loan. He should rip up SPL.

He probably would, but I don't think Hull will lend him to me.

Hibernian usually loan him in the first window though.

Asked them, no go

Really? Hibernian must be a higher rep club than yours then.

Higher rep than Aberdeen? That would be quite absurd.

I found a save in 2015, Swansea are in League 1, so I picked them.

Graham and Straqualursi are my two strikers.

Get in. Signing Materazzi is the best thing I've ever done. Scores every penalty, is one hell of a defender, ande seems to inspire the people around him to play well. If I do well this season it's all thanks to him.

just found two beasty strikers in South America, both coming to me for £2.5M each

Where?

Best striker on my Saints save (Di Donna) broke his leg.

Valencia are so underrated on FM, Victor Ruiz is shit too.

Bought Alderwereld to replace him 17 passing for a defender

Nice. I had this guy who has 15 passing in the old one. If you play a quick striker you get the occasional perfect over the top goal, so satisfying because they come out of nothing.

Jordi, where did you find that 2015 save?

How the fuck can Kevin Doyle score 17 goals in one season, and then only score 3 by Christmas in the following season.

I'm worried this may happen to Leigh Griffiths who got 25 in one season for me

2-0 up against Rangers, and they mess it up. Hopefully hang on to a draw

Edit:

Damn it.. 3-2... bah.

I got guttingly thrashed by Barca

I set up excellently putting Maduro at defensive midfield and having Mehmet Topal further up with Banega behind Soldado, I took the lead through Soldado and they scored straight away with Villa. THEN within 30 seconds Maduro picks up 2 yellow cards both fouls on Xavi then he goes and scores Then after half time I got destroyed and lost 5 - 1

Started a Burnley career without checking the team to realise that they only have 19 first team players. I better pray for no injuries or hope the reserves can do a job.

My counter attacking style really seems to have the beating of Man United. I've beaten them at least once every season I think, including one away win.

This is as Swansea btw.

I have a problem with the sound, the game noises keep playing even after the games done. It's really annoying, meant that I've had to turn the sound off which kills the atmosphere a bit.

Any help?

Turn off sound cache?

It was never on. I've turned it on to see if that makes any difference though.

I hate this fixture list:

SPL Kilmarnock (top of the table same points as Rangers)
SPL Celtic
SPL Rangers
SPL Celtic
SPC Rangers
SPL Rangers


Brutal.

Beat Real Madrid 5-1 with Athletic, game crashes.

Turning cache on fixed the sound btw.

Awesome


Beat Rangers 3 - 0

Edit:

Followed up by being beat 4-3 by St Johnstone

Finally getting a good run of form going and some consistency.



Last 3 games the other team weren't in the game at all, absolutely dominated.

Currently sitting pretty in 5th, so hopefully top 7 is on the cards for this year. Just need to keep performing.

6 points behind Rangers who are in first. Not too bad for December.
