what team are you? budget?

Hows That Sime Vrsalijko doing?

I'm at Liverpool. Budget isn't an issue. Club's coffers are loaded. Balance is 141m, current transfer budget is 229m. Not sure why the club is willing to go 80m in debt on transfers.

I hear that Vrsalijko's good (spelling) and what about kyle walker or Van der Weil?

He spent 9 months out with a major injury and never amounted to anything. I somehow managed to get 6m out of spurs for him.

Kyle Walker is at Everton, so I'm not likely to be able to get him for less than 30m. Not worth it for a guy who's 27.

Van der Wiel doesn't stack up too well. I'm thinking that Vrsalijko is a good bet. I only need him as a back-up because Johnson is 31 and constantly being beaten for pace by mid-table wingers. I've got Renan, Enrique and a young english lad, but Renan is little more than a fringe player and Enrique is 30 now so I'm looking for someone who's going to perform more consistently and isn't in the twilight of their career.

There's this great young lad for Barca, but they want 46m for him.

14 games without conceding. 90 minutes away from breaking united's record...and we concede in the 46th minute. 1363 minutes without picking the ball out of the net.

The game doesn't like me at the moment. Three games in a row I've conceded an own goal and lost without conceding a shot on target.

I would be cracking it hard at the strikers for not taking their chances tbh.

I'm sill weighing up the pros and cons.

Fucking Reina. Complains that he hasn't had enough first team football...and hasn't kept a clean sheet in the 12 games he's played in. How fucking hard is it to keep clean sheets against Newcastle and Ipswich?

So left Victory, hung around unemployed for a month or so, then took the Norway job. Beijing popped up a few months later, so took over there as well. Team is horrendous. Not sure if I'll stay or just jump on the next position free, wouldn't mind working in Korea.

Division League Two (1st Season)
Season 2019/2020
Expectations Avoid Relegation
Finish 1st.

Season 9 complete.

In an almost unbelievable turn of events, we've just won back to back titles. I'm not sure how often I've done this, it doesn't usually happen. We started reasonably well, our lowest position was 9th around the 12th game of the season, but it was still extremely tight at the top. By the 17th game we were top of the league and never surrendered the position. Most of our players

We confirmed promotion with several games to play after destroying 2nd placed Halifax 4-0 and the title with one. Our run in was exceptional, winning the last 6 games in a row.

Yet again Justin Ramos and Shaun Waters were our best performers. Ramos scored 23 goals, 8 assists and a 7.17 rating, with Waters picking up 19 goals, 13 assists and a 7.29 rating. Both are likely winners of the player of the year award.

Unfortunately Ramos is leaving on a free transfer. I'd saved the game, and not picked it back up for a few days, only to be confronted with a "Ramos requests Transfer" as I'd promised him a new contract. I then tried to offer the contract, only for the agent to pull out very early in the negotiation, and he decided then and there to leave on a free. He ended up deciding to go back to Glentoran in the Irish Premier League... instead of Fulham in the Championship.

There were goals all over the team. Our 3rd choice striker Tobi Ajiboye picked up 18 goals, with the rest of the starting squad picking up between 2 and 5 goals, and some vital ones in there.

We brought in 3 players over the year on free's, and one on a loan. I released two players, then let 2 others go to other clubs for free, and then sold 2 players as I tried to balance the squad considering the 25 man squad cap. Of course, I'd forgot u21 players don't count, and I almost always have several of them in the first team.

Financially the building of our new stadium didn't impact majorly on our funds, we will make a profit of roughly £1.6million over the year with a balance of £500,000 in the bank.

Our FA Cup run was great. We beat now relegated League 1 team Notts County 3-1 in the first round, then mid-table League 2 team Port Vale 7-1 (Waters got 5, Ramos 2). That set up a 3rd round clash with promotion contenders Ebbsfleet which we triumphed 3-2 in. We were rewarded with a 4th round tie vs Everton. It was picked for TV Coverage, giving us £170,000 for that match + Gate Receipts. We went on to draw 0-0, then lost 4-0 in the replay away.

JPT was a 2-3 first round loss to Bromley.

Squad will require some investment. At the moment I'm looking to develop another pair of young wingers, I'll need a replacement for Ramos (or to change my tactics to remove the requirement for that deep lying strong forward that Ramos occupies) and get better depth in the wing-back positions.

I look forward to the continued improvements in my players as we step up to more quality football.

Upwards and onwards.

I'd say this is easily my most satisfying win with PSV. More satisfying than the win in the Europa League final against United.

Because of the complete lack of competent fullbacks in my save, Dortmund want 40m for Versaljko, Tottenham just sold Bale to United for 46m, Barca want 49m for their 21yo regen...shit's fucked.

Hey guys, I need a little help here. I'm 2 seasons into a new game with Sydney FC and am killing it. Somethings just come up now that I'm unable to get around. I have upgraded one of my Youth players to a 5 year contract and because of that I'm forced to sumbit a new squad registration again. Now every time I try to submit it, it either says "Must select minimum of 15 players in squad" or "Cannot select -1 players in squad"

It's driving me nuts, and I have no idea what it means or could mean. I've tried everything I can think of, and it wont let me andance anywhere until I submit the squad.

Anyone else had this issue before, and if so, what do I do?
My last save before it was 6 months game time, and I really dont wanna go through that all again, especially since I've won the league again since and I'm sitting nicely in the ACL group stage.

Just try holidaying for the day and letting the game sort it out and see what happens. Save beforehand though, in case it doesn't fix it.
