Leicester - My team, and in the champions league for the first time. A no-brainer. Dortmund - Some great talents, interesting to develop the likes of Dembele and Mor to try and usurp Bayern. RB Leipzig - Again, a very talented squad. Interested in how high Oliver Burke is rated. Burton Albion...

December 2015 5th December - Sky Bet Championship Our winning run ends to Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest, with an early goal from Kasami being the only thing splitting the teams in a fairly even game at the City Ground. 12th December - Sky Bet Championship The same outcome happens on...

November 2015 3rd November - Sky Bet Championship A creditable away draw against Birmingham who have started well under former Burton man Gary Rowett and sit 5th in the playoff positions. We didn't look like scoring, with frontman O'Grady looking wayward, but at least our defence looked...

October 2015 29th September - Sky Bet Championship A trip to Bristol was next up. We held our own until Nolan was sent off, after which we were camped in our own half. The pressure told when Freeman scored with 10 minutes left, and things got even worse when we reduced to 9 men with Edwards...

September 2015 12th September - Sky Bet Championship A great way to start the month with two second half goals giving us a fantastic win at Elland Road. Dyer continued his scoring form from the left flank while Cameron Brannagan's 25 yarder made sure of the 3 points. 15th September - Sky...

August 2015 8th August - Sky Bet Championship A reasonable way to start the season with an away draw at Ipswich. After a pulsating opening 5 minutes where Bytyqi opened the scoring and Ipswich hit back through Murphy. Before half time we were trailing but in the closing minutes O'Grady...

Transfers As soon as I got in the door I requested we looked for a senior affiliate, which we found in Man City. We will get quality youngsters on loan from them for free, a great agreement for us with our limited finances. In Six players join in total, with us having to utilise loans due...

Burton Albion F.C. In the seventh tier of English football as recently as 2002, it has been a remarkable rise from Burton Albion in recent years. A sharp rise in fortunes has seen the Brewers climb the English football pyramid, with back-to-back promotions for the club sealing a season in the...

Hi, I've got an issue with my FM when it boots up. Initially I have this problem: Under Review Black screen when I Start FM 16 However, usually I can get out of this by pressing ctrl-alt-delete and the game boots up fine. However, now when I do this (ctrl-alt-delete out of the black screen)...

Ok, so his numbers will increase quickly in-game, thanks. That example was just hypothetical. It is a real player, going from 108-128 CA.

So, I'm trying to edit a few player's current ability. In the editor I go onto player data, and increase a CA, for example from 120 to 150. I then go into the game, thinking this player's attributes will have improved, and they haven't. So: does only editing the CA make a difference, or do you...

I think these types of tactics are more successful with a fullback in place, as they will actually play the opposition onside more and give them more opportunities. Anyway, good luck with your challenge, you can't do much worse than Villa are doing already in real life..

1/10000 if your manager is over 40.

Just wanted to say a belated thanks for my chairman of the year award! Also cool to see this still going, hopefully it keeps running long into the future.

West Ham Complete the Double! Two wins in the Capital One Cup and FA Cup has made it a brilliant season for us, with silverware brought back to the Olympic Stadium. Chairman Sir Geoff and Roberto Martinez have been given huge credit for transforming West Ham into a competition winning team...
