Before anyone asks, I don't have "get stuck in" as an instruction but my players are disgracefully dirty. Last six games I've had six red cards. Two in one game, and one game where I didn't. In the other four, a red in each. Usually happens in the last few minutes of the game when I'm...

I'm playing as a lower division side with a tight budget and thus have to rely on free transfers for the most part. I'm having some sticky issues with amateur contracts. If a player is on a full contract you can offer £0 for example and it can sometimes be accepted... However if the player is...

Playing as Rostock in 3.Liga. It states in the rules that u17s cannot play in this league. Christopher Rodriguez has just turned 17, signed a pro deal and is still ineligible to play. Will this change at the end of the season? Ie is the rule that u17s at the start of the season can't play...

Once labelled in 2007 as having the 7th best support in Germany, I want to take Hansa back to the top of German football. With the best training facilities and youth recruitment in the 3.Fußball-Liga (besides second teams of Bundesliga outfits), they were an attractive proposition to meet my...

Whilst I'm getting to grips with the beta, I thought I'd start a hopefully long-term story at my favourite club, Blackburn Rovers, and try to restore them to the respectable Premier League side they once were. Background Rovers, a founding member of the football league, enjoyed their...

Hey guys, looking to sign Matt McKay for Blackburn Rovers first season. Stumbled across him whilst looking at Australia and he looks a good signing for just £200k from what I can see of his profile. Can't afford to scout so would appreciate anyone's opinion/scout report/how he might do for a...

Hey guys, Simple thread really. I've always trained with focus/intensity at fitness/high during pre-season and balanced/average(or high) during the season, with players being trained on either their player roles (average, or low if trained in new position) or to improve a specific attribute...

Although I like to tinker with player roles I never really look at player instructions. Does anyone have any particular successes? Eg instructing a midfielder with good long shots to shoot more? Are there any player instructions that seem to compliment certain player roles? Thanks!

I find myself in the summer of 2018 with Leganes in the BBVA. I achieved back-to-back promotions to the top league after a consolidation season in 2B and after a first top-season finish of 7th including a UEFA place, followed by a finish of 3rd in this latest season, I find I've done rather...

I already have a Coventry save going at the moment which I am thoroughly enjoying. Tried doing it as a story but it isn't attracting much interest and I would rather have another perhaps more challenging save to do as a story. A lot of people take on being Real Union but perhaps I'd like to...

Managing Coventry in the Prem and just moved back into the 32,000 seater Ricoh Arena in 2016... Strangely I've only solid 1,000 season tickets, despite offering European football to my perhaps not-so-faithful fans... We were getting more fans in League One when in our previous stadium miles...

Welcome! To immerse you into real game time, this story will take us from 2016 and beyond. However, to get you up to speed there will be a little backtracking to begin with. It is the magical tale of me and my journey with Coventry City. Originally, I never intended on doing a story as I was...

I have heard how managing the country of the domestic team you're managing is worth doing so to observe and snap up youth prospects... In my case I am Coventry manager and after back to back promotions finished 5th in the Prem so perhaps I'd be in with a shot of getting the job. (If not now...

Third season with Coventry, achieved back-to-back promotions and find myself in the Premier League. With the help of a takeover I have managed to invest some money in the squad to help achieve promotion from the Championship, signing the likes of Dwight Gayle, Rhys McCabe and Harry Maguire to...

I've been given the option of choosing a feeder club for my Coventry side in the Championship. I imagine I'll be looking to 3* and below reputation teams (as these are the only ones likely to form an agreement) and I'm just a tad stuck on who to go for. I'm not looking for any increased...
