    The Challenge of a lifetime-ish//Wolves

    October complete! with 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. Very disappointing. However 2 points from a possible 12 from this month leaves me sitting in 9th currently. @ West Ham 1-1d (Nkunku) - A Goal on the stroke of half time put me in the lead and actually we looked pretty good until a Declan...

    Summer Transfer Window Oh I went big, really big this summer! 300 million pound spent near enough and a net spend of +90 million! Key Ins:- Jesus Vallejo - Knows the club and offers more depth at Centre Back. Bargain at 5.5mill. Jack Butland - Offers depth and competition inbetween in the...

    So here we are at my current team Wolverhampton Wanderers! After my instant success in Germany, it was time to move on, and after trying to get myself a job in Spain which was unsuccessful this job became available with Nuno Santo moving onto Valencia (A job in which I put myself in the...

    My Key Players Peter Gulacsi:- In any normal save, I'd have probably looked to replace him with someone better but me being a Liverpool fan and having knowledge of him, I gave him the benefit of the doubt and he repayed me well with 49 appearances in all competitions condeding 38 and 25 clean...

    The Challenge of a lifetime-ish//Wolves

    Key Games Having opening with 3 wins in 3 without conceding a goal, my first real challenge was against title favourites Bayern and then this happened. Disappointing to concede so late after my clean start, but I feel this was a real good statement maker! My first loss came to a away trip to...

    German Cup As I've said, I won the double. I felt like I had a easy run all the way through the cup. Here's an outlook of the fixtures and results in the German Cup. I managed to avoid all the big boys here, but the later we got into the competion, the more worried I got. Holstein Kiel...

    The Challenge of a lifetime-ish//Wolves

    Formations After assessing the team and seeing a very average transfer budget I decided on a 5-3-2 wing back formation. Building a team around Werner was the key for me to get the most out of him, in which he truely delivered. But going on past saves with Werner, whenever he's been a loan...

    The Challenge of a lifetime-ish//Wolves

    So, it's been a **** of a long time since I've posted on here, and whilst in lockdown I've had a lot of time on my hands, and a **** of a lot of FM. So I was inspired by Youtuber Dr.Benjy's GloryHunter challenge (which I'd highly recommend you'd check out!), so I thought I'd give my own a go, so...

    Football Manager 17 Pre-Purchase offer

    Can't complain at the 20% discount that's for sure. Quite lucky too as FM 12 is the only game missing from my stash since I started buying the series. Initially thought 13 was the missing one, although 15% still wouldn't have been too bad I guess! :D

    Advice on improving my team

    I think you're lacking depth in your fullbacks. One injury and you're screwed in my opinion. I'd definitely get someone in to rotate, and then maybe a youngster who can play a decent-ish amount of games, who can go out on loan (but make sure you get the recall from loan clause in the deal.) I...

    Guys who have already stopped playing FM16, what will you do first in FM17?

    I had a decent run with Gillingham on 16 after being sacked by Notts County within 3 months of the save. Took them from relegation in November 2016 to mid-table and then outside playoffs to then a playoff final. An average team like Gillingham with no real potential and losing my bigger players...

    Help! LFC 2016

    I'm not a massive fan of spending loads and loads of time on in depth tactics. I'll always have 3 formations that I'll have my team training. 4-2-3-1 is my main one, and always has been over the last few games! I'll have a 5-3-2 (2 wing backs) which I'll use every so often, eg. away at the likes...
