My updates have been non-existent lately. The save is still going strong, as are the 'Tics! I'm currently in March of my first season in the Premier League and will just do a season review at the end.. I'll be back!
Season Two Preview (Aug 10th 2019)
We're back! Today marks the beginning of a new Premier League season and for the first time in six years, Wigan Athletic will be mixing it with the big boys. The fixture computer has not been kind but we don't care, you have to play them all eventually...
Season One Review
#CHAMPIONS
We did it!!! After drawing away to Leeds, Wins against Preston and Birmingham secured top spot in the Championship with one game to spare. Starting off as a candidate for relegation, I set myself an ambitious target of finishing in the top half. Of course I could...
Season One - Update Six (April 17th 2019)
The Final Countdown!
It's only been two weeks since my last update but after picking up seven points in the last three games, I have mathematically secured myself a spot in the playoffs with four games to spare. Had I been offered that at the start of...
Season One - Update Five (April 1st 2019)
Wigan Athletic PLC
The club has a new owner! Fawaz Al-Hawasi has completed the takeover of Wigan Athletic for a surprisingly low amount (less than half of the transfer fee I received for Sam Morsy...) There's not been any changes of note really other...
Season One - Update Four (Feb 2nd 2019)
Transfer Window
I wanted to cover the January Transfer Window before taking a look back at how the league is going as there has beensome MAJOR developments. My captain has abandoned ship! Sam Morsy has moved to West Brom for an initial fee of £8.5m...
Season One - Update Three (Dec 3rd 18)
League
Form's dipped significantly in the last couple months which at the moment I'm putting down to injury and suspensions but I fear that teams are starting to figure me out. I suppose I caught opposition by surprise earlier in the season by playing an...
Season One - Update Three (Oct 2nd 2018)
The League
It's been an absolute dream start to life in the Championship and I couldn't be happier.. I am genuinely struggling to explain why things are going so well! I was tipped to be involved in a relegation scrap at the start of the season and after...
We'll see how he responds to a couple weeks on the bench.. Rotherham are up next so I suppose it actually is the perfect time for him to be suspended/dropped!
Season One - Update Two (August 2018)
League
After an immense start to life in the Championship, we're top of the league! Five games in and with only the sole defeat to Aston Villa to tarnish my record, I find myself on 12 points and one clear of 2nd place Sheffield United. It's not exactly...
Season One - Update One
The Squad
My first thoughts looking at the squad is that there's definitely a balance issue. Antonee Robinson, currently on loan from Everton, being the only left back will need backup. I've addressed this issue by getting yet another left back on loan from Everton in...
So I've just had a kid.. Gone are the days of weekend binges on FM and rattling off 30-40 season saves. My FM time now consists of sitting in a corner of the office on lunch breaks and getting funny looks from my colleagues as I tell my laptop that he was never offside and that somehow the match...
