Now you can sign him as an immortal staff member.

he won't sign for me no matter what

staff nor player. i'll see what happens after his contract expires in a few weeks. maybe that'll trigger something

Blasphemy.

if he signs for lazio manager, i'm going to assassinate him with FMRTE and permanently delete him from the game world lol

I want to see that

meet my new coach



he seems SO eager to display his coaching talents in a bigger stage

What do former players have over staff that began as staff at the beginning of the game?

Are there regen staff each season?

There are regen staff, but I'm not sure if it's every season like players. It probably is.

I found an older version of my 1860 save!

I CAN GO BACK TO GERMANY LAND!

How far into it are you?

Regen staff are only generated if they're needed.

after i beat Real Madrid in the 2015 Super Cup, i'm going to quit my Roma save and do a Schalke save. i already made the save and prepared tactics, training, staff, etc. it's just been sitting there for weeks

Huntelaar has 20/20 finishing/offtheball , i'm going to get Cardozo from Benfica so i can have two forwards with 20 finishing . can't wait

If you have a good Playmaker than you will get bags of goals.

I am into the 3rd season, after youth intake as well!

How much of a hassle is it to create a league? I want to add the USL as a relegation league to the MLS, maybe add NASL too.

Di Donna's long term injury isn't even a problem now, srs.

They are better.

Well some are. In my old Roma save I had Totti and Fowler as attacking and shooting coaches (both five star), Javier Zanetti as my defensive coach (five star), Andrea Pirlo as my technique/tactics coach. All of them were quite great, only Totti demanded one absurd wage to be a coach (£25k a week). Which I for some reason gladly gave him

Also, Andy Carroll. Greatest striker in the world:

Pretty much every former player makes a better coach than the normal ones. Their stats rapidly increase too.

Never had a problem with wages myself, I wait till they leave the club then offer a starting wage of £1k.

Just got dumped out of the German Cup by Kaiserslautern 1-0.

Can't seem to score at the moment. Missed a penalty. Now Perisic hit the bar with a free kick then Hummels, with an empty net, manages to smash his follow up against the other bar.

EDIT: just missed my second penalty of the game.

EDIT #2: Just scored three quick-fire goals, all from my CB's, then Hummels, on a brace, missed the third penalty of the game. This is the most bizarre match I have ever played.

I want to do a really long lasting save with someone. Any ideas?

The ones that have worked out the longest for me:

Siena
Roma
Southampton
Boca
Sao Paulo

I find that if you have too much money you just end up getting bored. Siena has no money, and you need to sell decent players to buy rubbish ones, it's a challenge.

Roma has little money, but a very solid youth team, and Italian youngsters are ridiculously versatile, bar goalkeepers.

Southampton is fun because it has potential, but at the same time you're not mega rich.

Boca because getting world domination with a south american team is always fun, and Sao Paulo because they have good youngsters, but not quite on par with Santos, Internacional and Vasco. Plus South America is quite fun when it comes to youth development.

From what I've seen Sao Paulo have the best youngsters in Brazil by a mile. Only Santos can challenge them in that department but that's mainly down to the two obvious players.

Santos have like 6 great youngsters, Internacional has 3 of the best + a great facility, Vasco has Dedé, Allan and Rômulo, while Sao Paulo has Lucas, who is fantastic, and Casemiro. Compared to the three others they aren't quite up there.

I could be Roma, seems like a fun save. But I kinda want to be a Championship team. Is their any way you can find out how much money teams start with?
