Thanks mate. But how do I get the screenshots onto the page? the only way I can get screenshots showing is by attaching them seperately, but like the way you do it.Appreciate the help.Thanks.

Take a screenshot pic shift & F9 (or ctrl and f9 one or the other it is) - click on insert image and then get the pic in the sports interactive - fm 12 - screenshots folder
 
I had to choose between Salva Ruiz and Alejandro Roy and picked Roy. Hardly played for the 1st team which I regret now as he would have and should have been my back up RB. I have even capped him for Spain. Here are the screenies:

I have both of them but for me Ruiz seems to have much more potential than Roy. Roy will most likely become an average player but Ruiz can possibly be world class or at least border-line world class.

NOVEMBER

Bilbao go goal crazy as they score at least 3 each game
Real Madrid beaten in 7 goal thriller
Yeste gets first win as Bilbao B manager against the team managed by the man he replaced!
Spain win both friendlies

Great month as we were banging in the goals - even when I chopped and changed between playing my 1st team and my backup players. The thriller against Real Madrid involved a great comeback from ourselves as we were 2-0 down after five minutes but were 4-2 up on the hour!

The B team is struggling though as they keep conceding late goals - 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats are their record for the month.

DECEMBER

FIFA Club World Cup retained
Bilbao beat Bayern to top group and get drawn against Manchester City
B team find form and win all 3 games played during the month
Spain get Russia, Australia and Senegal in the World Cup

Plenty of goals again this month and we were able to throw another trophy into the bargain also. Started off with a fine win over Bayern and then crushed our next two league opponents. In the Club World Cup we were 2-1 down late on but Azpilicueta scored his 3rd goal for the club and Aitor popped up to score the winner in injury time from a free kick.

JANUARY

Bilbao drop 1st points in the league
Through to the Copa del Rey semis and have a 1st leg lead against Real Madrid
Aitor Herrera wins both world player of the year awards again!
Bilbao B lose 1 game in the month and win the other 2 scoring 4 goals in each

A packed month with 8 games and we came out of it unbeaten although we did draw a couple. Rotation was the name of the game as I used the bulk of my squad as well as some of the u19s. Was disappointed to draw against Espanyol to end our winning run - Hondo N'Dongo scored both goals in that game. Have a narrow lead in the cup semi against Real Madrid but it is too close to call.

FEBRUARY

Bilbao suffer 3 defeats in the month - including getting knocked out of the cup
Bilbao open up 6pt lead at the top
Managerial merry-go-round in the Liga BBVA

A very, very poor month. Losing to Real Madrid was understandable as we had a weakened side out although going out was still disappointing. Poor result v Valladolid was followed by a poor performance in the derby against Real Sociedad. Then it went on..... Perked up towards the end though.

Real Madrid 2-0 Athletic Bilbao

Real Valladolid 1-1 Athletic Bilbao
Perez Villarroya

Ouch! Not the best month for things. How is the 'B' team working out now your in control of it? Found any hidden gems?
 
Fantastic read so far mate, read from the start and it's been an amazing achievement. Keep up the good work mate :)

Doing not too bad - score loads but concede heaps as well. There are 2 full backs who will probably make the step up.

MARCH

One decent player in this years youth intake but I have found a gem somewhere else.........
Double header against Barca ended up with a win each
Bilbao progress in the Champions League - Paris St. Germain next
Spain beat Colombia

An exciting month with highs, lows and craziness! The highs was getting 2 big scoring wins plus big victories over Barca and Manchester City. The lows was losing Alfredo for the rest of the season (and probably the World Cup) through injury plus a defeat to Barca. As for the craziness that was the Sporting Gijon game where we won despite having 3 men sent off and David, my goalie had a final rating of 3.6!

One decent player in this years youth intake and shock horror he is an attacking midfielder!
