Yeah, google gave me that too. Awesome. Just remembered:

Lisbon Lions wrote:
All the members of this team were born within 30 miles (48 km) of Glasgow, Scotland.


That can be my border :lol:

EDIT: What a fantastic website: http://www.freemaptools.com/radius-around-point.htm

Question is, what do I define as Glasgow. Got a player here who was born in Lennoxtown, which is where we train, but looking at it on the map, I'm not sure if that would count as glasgow or not. I need to figure out boundaries :p

Peurto Rican and Italian respectively. But, English is a 2nd nationality for both. Had to give myself a little leeway with the number of transfers we needed to make :lol:

Absolutely gutted.

My UCL group results:

1-1 v Liverpool
0-0 v Inter
1-0 v Zurich
6-0 v Zurich
0-0 v Liverpool
1-1 v Inter

So, surely I went through, right?

Wrong.
Inter 10
Liverpool 10
Celtic 10
Zurich 0

Absolutely fucking gutted. Just, so devastating.

Just entered January. Top of the table, have been since about the 3rd week.

So getting back into my Celtic save. Decided to shake things up a bit, to make things a bit different. Bout to start the 2019/20 transfer window. Basically going to only have English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, N.Irish players in my squad. Selling off anyone who doesn't meet these requirements (a fair chunk of my squad). Ultimate aim is to replicate the Lisbon Lions and win the ECL with all Glasgow born players. Going all UK/British is the first step.




Was one of the more hectic Windows I've been a part of. Got there in the end though. Squad is really haggard, but we've got cover and depth everywhere, just morale going a little haywire.

By changing the sorting column? Click the column you want to sort by, like you'd do in itunes :lol:



yeah, so when i click position, they sort by position and dont automatically go to the top when selected like they used to.

when i click on sort by picked, they sort out that way, but dont stay bunched in positions if not picked. (so ill have a striker up the top and a defender down the bottom of the list)

Back in the groove now. Had a massive window at the start of the season, brought in like fifteen 16-18 year olds in the youth side, all with 4 star PA at least.

Only a few new signings to the XI, Burdisso at CB and Rensing at GK. And Hooper out for Boselli

Season going well so far, I'm top of the league by 4 points at the end of October. UCL form is good, 1-1 draw v Liverpool at home, then 0-0 draw away to Inter and a 1-0 win at home to Zurich.

Thought I had no chance making it out of the group but maybe I will.

Boselli was the big signing, and he has 9 goals in 10 apps so far, on fire.

Signed Roberto Firmino who has great potential, as well as this epic 16yo DM. Regen, he's 16, already had 8 U20 caps, 19 first touch, 5 star PA... signed him for 2.5mil. Cheering.

After a disasterous few years, being sacked from Sydney, Port Vale and Cook Islands, I salvaged my reputation with the Perth who were on the verge of administration. I signed up half the Australian u19 squad and sold all expensive old players. By the end of the season I had won the league, easily broken the a-league transfer record 5 times selling my best players for 25 million but I lost the final. I used that money to buy other a-league clubs best youth players to continue the cycle. The second season I won the league and final series and in the third the young talent pool I was drawing from started to fry up and I came second in the league and won the final series. Halfway through the first season at Perth I became the Australian u19 coach.

I got bored with Perth after my third season and I accepted an offer to manage Karlsruhe who had just been relegated. They already had a good young squad including three Australians Lecki, Antonis and Jovanovic and I am sitting in 1st spot halfway through the season. I also became the manager of Iceland but a month (1 match) later Norway offered me the job so I took it. Two weeks (0 matches) after that Russia offered so I became Russian manager for a week (0 matches), before the US fresh from coming 2nd in the World Cup came knocking. So now I am the manager of USA.

You get some strange messages from the A-league and Australia. When you win the final series you get a message saying that you won but the board are proud that you did your best in defeat.

Also the lower ranked team hosts the preliminary final for some reason.

276 hours of FM for me. That doesn't include the hours I'd put in over Christmas/New Year when I was away and on my laptop I'd imagine. Barely played it since then too.

By changing the sorting column? Click the column you want to sort by, like you'd do in itunes :lol:

I dunno why, but I signed Xavi on a free transfer despite having Canales, Valcercel, Cavey, Gerrard, Brown and Lucas in the midfield. One year contract seems like a total waste of time. I guess I was hoping for merch sales.

I think I too heavily focused on youth in my Perth team. I won the first 7 games but now I have had 8 players selected for the u21's and 7 for the u19's for the next month. So now I have only 3 out of my usual match day squad left.

Having brought AFC Wimbledon up from the BSP to the Champo, I decided that a change was in order and took a job with KV Mechelen in Belgium. I started a striker who wasn't making the previous manager's XI and he scores six goals in a game with a rating of 10.0


Fuck. Yes.
