I know it's just a game (ok, it's not really :) ) but does anyone else get sentimental over players? At Real Madrid I didn't care when Ronaldo etc retired but my first set of regens I trained from 16 are now 33/34 years old and if I'm honest I'm not sure the game will feel the same without them...

I only ask as I haven't, I tried at Barcelona with Busquets in the role, and he played all right, but he was just acting as a 3rd central defender even as an attacking Libero! Having just checked though Busquets 'stays back at all times' maybe the worst choice for Libero... In the end I have...

The only reason I ask as I am managing Barcelona, 25 games into the season and I am unbeaten on 69 points, Athletic 2nd on 51 points and Real Madrid 3rd on 49 points. Mourinho in a press statement says 'Barcelona really don't look like title contenders to me', so my question, is there a...

In a real game when players get a minor injury you'd be able to see if it was a gash, sprain etc, but unless I'm missing something there is no way to do this in the game? It would be nice to know I'm not making something worse by keeping them on...?!

I'm just started a new game managing Barca, and they have some very good youth players (obviously!:), trouble is my main team play most games, backup players play when they are injured, early cup games and some European games so it doesn't leave much opportunity for promising youth! So I...

Ok so Iv'e started a new game on the new patch with Barca, and I thought I was getting more than a usual amount of straight reds, so I checked my playable leagues... La Liga: 83 red cards in 230 games (1 every 2.77 games!) Premier League: 38 red cards in 260 games (1 every 6.84 games) Serie A...

Is there a point in training camps, aside from wasting my hard earned money? :) I arrange friendlies with Chinese clubs as that's where it is, but at the end my assistant says he didn't notice an improvement in squad harmony etc...am I doing something wrong?

July 2016, Liverpool announce the signing of the soon to be 29 year old Lionel Messi for a stupid price of £130 million, manager mark gill accused of being senile... July 2017, Liverpool announce the signing of the 32 year old Cristiano Ronaldo for £75 million, fans wondering when the insanity...

Ok I know this should probably go in deal or no deal, but its not about the money as such (at Liverpool, 2017 and I've got £170 million to ***** on players that I don't need). Here it is, I brought Messi last season (£130 million for him turning 29...), now I'm wondering if I should get Ronaldo...

I'm currently in Mar 2016 of my Liverpool save, in all that time I've never received any money from my board and have kept my finances sound, I took a look at Man City and found they were spending £2.8 million a week on wages so wanted to see what the top clubs finances were like... Man City...

Currently in my 4th season at Liverpool, and I was just thinking about the ones that got away... 1st season I signed Lewandowski and played Suarez on the wing, therefore couldn't afford Ben Arfa who almost won the league for Arsenal, in hindsight should have played Suarez up front and bought...

At the end of the third season with Liverpool (Three Premiership Trophies, Champions league Winners and into final again), Steven Gerrard is now coming to the end of his contract (£120,000 a week...). Sill pretty good and played 17 games, and another 28 as sub (6 goals, 6 assists , do I let him...

I always read on forums people saying things like 'well that's with computer management, he'd be a lot better with human management' when it comes to wonderkids mainly. Now Iv'e always wondered if this is true, I have seen wonderkids not develop from little/no playing time but surely the...
