I'm just getting to the end of the 2014/15 season. Chelsea made a bid for Lukaku which I turned down but he then announced that he wanted to leave and couldn't be talked out of it. I continued to pick him for a month or so but he was playing very poorly so I felt I had no choice. Now Chelsea are...

Can anyone recommend a big striker along the lines of Lukaku/Traore/Dzeko? I have guided Southampton to the PL title but was forced to sell Lukaku to Chelsea when he became unsettled and lost form. A target man is vital to my strategy and while I still have Traore banging in an absurd number...

Amusingly I got him becuase I'm in the CL and City aren't. If only life would imitate FM... I've got Areola coming through but he's not quite ready yet. Smithies will do me for now. Poli has arrived too. Luisma looks like he might come on the cheap to. Cheers guys.

30M Have just had offers accepted for Pollo and Smithies (although Man City are in for Smithies too). ---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 PM ---------- Aurier.

Southampton, pre-season 13/14. Looking for an AML. Currently have Zezinho who has done well but I'm looking for someone as good as Weiss is for me on the right. Need an MC (deep-lying playmaker) so I'm looking at Poli but might have to break the bank. Is he worth it? My XI as it stands is...

Southampton, fourth season (pre-season), have qualified for Champions Cup, need a quality midfield general (MC or DMC). Have 30M to spend but a good portion of that will hopefully go on Lukaku up front and a top notch centre half (N'Koulou possibly). Need someone better than Schneiderlin and...

Have just got Southampton into the Champions Cup. The above presents a problem for me as I only have two at the club. Am I going to get kicked out of the tournament? Will it work if I re-sign a couple of the players I got rid of, even though they aren't up to it?

Keeper injured, all subs used up. I have reorganised as best I can, but now it won't let me go back to the game. I just get my *** man telling me there's still an injured player on the pitch. Please help.

Southampton, third season, 7th in PL. Have been offered Owen Hargreaves for £2.6M and Kompany for £2.4M. Should I buy either, both or neither? I have a strong team but it is mainly youngsters. Centre halves are Addison and San Jose, DM is Schneiderlin. Can't help but feel that experienced...

I am playing as Southampton in the PL (third season). We're 13th with a young side, and a lot of the players were signed in the summer. Can I expect results to improve as the season wears on? I play 4-2-3-1 and have the likes of Christaldo, Naki, Weiss, San Jose, Addison, James Rodriguez. We...

All tremendous shouts, sadly most are with bigger clubs already. Have brought in Aurier but he's only a kid and endured a chastening debut against Arsenal. I've got a bid in for Van Denn Boore (sic) as a stopgap but I'm not sure about him. Anyone know if Urby Emanuelson is worth splashing out...

Thanks. Any suggestions for a RB?

I've got about 15M left.

Just clinched promotion to the PL with Southampton at the end of my second season. Current starting XI is as follows: Davis Vidal Fonte De Laet Dodo Schneiderlin James Rodriguez Deniz Naki Lallana Puncheon Lambert/Harewood Who should I replace and who with?

Using this tactic http://http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=3101 with which I am unbeaten but my players are missing hatfuls of chances. Can anyone think why? My forwards were pretty clinical last season. Is it just that I got promoted and the 'keepers are better?
