I know it's only a friendly, but against a Full Strength Sporting Lisbon, Sergio Aguero bags a 4 minute hattrick after coming on in the 71st minute and scoring his first goal at 73:15, he completed his hattrick at 77:31.

The some of the A-league clubs are wasting so much money in my game in 2016.
Perth still had Sterjovski and Smeltz as marquees as well as 3 other unregistered players on over $500,000 when I took over a year ago.
Mariners - Bozanic is on $1 million and Rose on $500,00 a season but both are unregistered. Mark Bridge is marque on $800,000 but gets no game time and Matt Ryan is on $600,000. Matt Simon is on $200,000 and has only played 10 games in the last 3 years.
Newcastle - Beauchamp is marquee on $700,000
Wellington - Tsattalios is marquee on $800,000 and has played 12 games in the last 3 seasons. Osama Malik is on $600,000 and has played 12 games in 2 seasons.
Brisbane have 5 players on marquee salaries of over $400,000 that they can't register.

Top of the league at the half way stage. Had a bit of a mid season slump but seemed to have gone out of it now. Signed a new ''AP'' Midfielder and a few more players to bolster my squad a bit more.

Did you sign him in the January transfer window? He probably just wasn't registered with your squad yet.

Playing as Southampton. So inconsistent. Sitting 13th but only 2 games out of the playoffs but just cant seem to hit any form. Got a decent squad, but cant quite get the right formation. First half of the season was basically WLWLWLWLWD like that, 2nd half so far has been WDLLLLWDLL so annoying.

Tops WC group of Uruguay, Greece and Congo. Brazil win just one game and finish second in Group A with USA finishing top ahead of Mali and Souvlakia, so I play them in the stage of 16. In Brazil. Cuntsticks.

Go out defensive, concede 1, they're looking dangerous to score a second. I decide to throw caution into the wind. Switch to attacking and change to short, quick passes. Score one. Then another...then a third...by half time it's 5-1.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Second half commenses. Wilshere, Rooney and Milner add second goals. 8-1 at FT. MOST AMAZING WIN EVAR!

QF I meet the winner of Italy v Switzerland.

SF I can potentially meet the winner of Germany or Holland and Cameroon or Chile. Tough side of the draw? I think so.

Just out of interest, roughly what is the concept behind moneyball? Everyone seems to be talking about it but I didn't bother with the film.

The idea is that you ignore the glossy big-name players and sign based around statistical performance instead. Basically what Liverpool are failing at doing.

Same thing happened to me.

Won the final game of the season 2-1 over Rangers. So I won the league by 9 points.

Belluschi got Golden Boot and players POTY.
de Jong got FW player of the year, followed by Hooper.
Moras got second in SPL player of the year.
Shelvey won players young POTY.
Bertolacci won SPL young POTY.
I won manager of the year and writers manager of the year.
Peluso, Moras, Belluschi, de Jong and Hooper named in TOTY.

One game to go - Scottish Cup final. A win would complete the treble. CARN!

Legitimate goal gets ruled out during game. Press conference after game asks me about some penalty shout that I don't even remember being turned down.

I'm slightly confused right now.
