Well done on Qualifying for the Euro's! Hopefully you can maintain your good start to the league to!
Can honestly say I've unfortunately never been good enough to truly have a team that dominates in FM Light. Which is slightly embarrassing given what you've already achieved with Spartak alone. The rules might make it more challenging but truth to be told I actually quite like them. I would say the EPL should introduce something similar but English talent is far too over priced already.
Thanks Dllu, I'm not sure? Which group is looking wrong?
Cheers JamesScott, Keeping my fingers crossed.

With the Russian International team now secured into EURO 2016 all attention now turns to improving on CSKA's impressive start to the season.

Prem'er Liga
3rd October 2015
One of the biggest games of the season has the two favourites for the title go toe to toe for the first time this year and its first blood to table topping CSKA. Zenit's talismanic striker Hulk opened the scoring within just ten minutes but a resurgent team soon found their stride and sent Villas Boa's men packing in style.
Prem'er Liga
18th October 2015
The international break apparently threw us off our game and lowly Amkar are quick to take advantage. The goal before the break rattled our usually steadfast team and we could do little to penetrate a determined defence from the struggling side as we fell to only our second loss of the season.
Europa League - Group L
22nd October 2015
Having just been sent off in the game against Austria earlier in the month, Berezutskiy repeats the feat against the team from the Austria capital in what turned out to be an ill tempered affair. Fortunatley this time around the red card didn't affect the team as we ran out comfortable winners.
Prem'er Liga
24th October 2015
A huge game for the fans has all the thrills they would have wanted in a Capital City derby and gives the CSKA faithful bragging rights following a dramatic finish. Spartak deservedly levelled the game with just seconds to go but the ever energetic Musa managed to quickly put us back into the lead with a goal from kick-off that proved to be the final action of a superb game.
28th October 2015
The one and only domestic cup in Russia re-appears as we manage to squeeze past fellow top flight side Ural. Our midfield managed to pull the strings to fashion the victory as Doumbia and Musa both took a much deserved rest from first team football.
Prem'er Liga
31st October 2015
Having just sent them packing out of the cup competition we add to Ural's woes with a clinical victory in the league. Doumbia returns to the action and true to form picked up a well worked winning goal whilst Urals frustrations eventually boiled over resulting in a red card to sum up their brief stay in Moscow.
The minor blip following the International break a-side, this has been another encouraging month from the Army boys, with the convincing victory over reigning title holders Zenit instilling some real belief in the team and the fans. With a comfortable gap over second place and Zenit seemingly well off the boil, we already look odds on to reclaim the title.
Europa League - Group L
October 2015
Played Three. Won Three. Can't ask for much more then that. Having comfortably found our way past each team, we've already got one eye on the next round and dreams of reclaiming the Europa League trophy are well and truly taking hold in Moscow.
Treble on the cards?
With my International Career getting off to a spluttering start its good to know that I can return to the safety of CSKA and quickly turn my thoughts to some immediate Silverware. Having imposed ourselves at the top of the table, cruised our way into the Quarter Finals of the Kubok Rossii and with one foot already in the Europa League knock-out stages, I've subtly started making room in the trophy cabinet already.
With Qualification to the EUROs being done in slightly uninspiring form the series of friendlies before the start of the tournament in France are crucial to develop not only morale but a formation that works for our frustrated squad
Friendly
17th November 2015
I'll take it. In my version of the EURO qualifiers the plucky Northern Irish didn't make it to the finals but non the less they are still a tough side to break down on their day but a goal a piece from Shatov of Zenit and Parshivlyuk from Spartak came either side of a short lived Northern Irish fightback to give us a well earned victory.
_______
With that 2015 is done and dusted for the Russian side
On the pitch at least. Behind the scenes we will be frantically working to develop a tactic, arranging some important last minute friendlies before the tournament begins and most importantly of all awaiting the crucial group stage draw in December.
The end of the year is fast approaching and with it comes the brutal Russian winter. Cold nights, blistering winds and heaps of snow but when your topping the table nothing can stop you.
Europa League - Group L
5th November 2015
Our biggest challengers for the top of the table spot in the Europa League and we stroll to a comfortable victory in the heart of the Alps. Doumbia opened the scoring to continue his lethal run of form but with his loan drawing to a close we need a suitable replacement for the latter stages of the competition.
Prem'er Liga
7th November 2015
Just one day inbetween the fixtures but the club are thriving under the pressure of non stop football cruising to victory against lowly Krylja Sovetov. The ever reliable wingers Tosic and Musa both find the back of the net with supporters favourite, Doubmia making sure he leaves on a high with yet another goal.
Prem'er Liga
22nd November 2015
It looked like we were going to slump to another disappointing defeat following the International break as we gave away a sloppy penalty within the first five minutes but we soon turned the game around picking up two goals in quick succession to continue our rampant pace at the top of the table.
Europa League - Group L
26th November 2015
Penultimate game of the group stage and we smash Sparta Praha at the Khimki stadium. Musa is looking odds on to take over the lead striker role when Doumbia leaves the club but his lethal pace and eye for a goal from the left flank are for now impressing the fans and even some of the English Premier Leagues big boys.
29th November 2015
Well that was unexpected. Ufa are struggling towards the bottom of the table but managed to pull off an impressive upset with an impressive second-half display. We could do little to break through a solid defence as our tired legs finally caught up with us. Swedish midfielder Pontus Wermbloom summed up the teams frustrations picking up his second yellow in a clumsy tackle within the final three minutes of the game.
Here they come. Having slipped up at the end of the month our lofty position at the top of the table suddenly looks all the more shaky with the riches of Zenit finally mounting a push to reclaim their title, now sitting just four points behind us as we head towards the mid-season break.
Europa League - Group L
October 2015
A potentially challenging group has been made to look easy as we casually win every game of the group thus far but with a club of our calibre its as this point you remember we should really be mixing it with the likes of United, Madrid and Munich in the Champions League this season.
Its getting closer.
Last month with Lokomotiv being our nearest challengers for the top spot I felt the league was all but in the bag but with Zenit now ready to pounce at the next opportunity I realise how naive I was. We're just past the half way point with our squad pressed across three competitions and our lead scorer about to depart. Time for a wobble.
The last bit of action for CSKA in 2015.
Just the two games to compete in this month as we finally give the players a much deserved rest. They've played way above the call of duty up to this point and will all be looking forward to resting their weary legs.
Prem'er Liga
2nd December 2015
The defeat at the end of last month seems to have rattled the team somewhat and Krasnodar certainly managed to get the better of us as they held on for the point. Tosic picked up the opening goal against the run of play to add to his impressive tally but we couldn't hold on for the whistle as we share the points.
Europa League - Group L
10th November 2015
Well that wasn't exactly the most encouraging way to end the group stages. The Greek side made us look like the whipping boys. Despite Pontus Wermbloom opening the scoring we could do little to stop them controlling the rest of the game, running out comfortable winners and sending us back to Moscow with our tails between our legs.
Just the one game in the league and given that its usually -10, snowy and all together miserable I don't think the fans or the players will complain too much about it. Despite dropping points, Zenit managed to do the exact same leaving us still with a four point lead.
Europa League - Group L
October 2015
Ignoring the convincing loss in the final game of the group stage, its been a superb display of force in the Europa League from the boys as we stormed to the top of the table and held it for the entire duration to book ourselves into the knock out stages. It might not be the Champions League but bringing the trophy back to our new stadium with a tower designed after the iconic bit of silverware would certainly be special.
Time to Hibernate.
If you haven't gathered from the notes its ****** freezing in Russia round-about now and with the pitches frozen the skies heavy with snow and everyone generally keeping warm with bear skins and vodka the season comes to a pause here in Russia not to be resumed until March.

Doing well mate even with the blip in the middle! Hopefully form will pick up and you can retain the league and hopefully a Europa league would be decent too!
Thanks again JamesScott. I'm going to be disappointed if we don't end up with at least one trophy in the cabinet.

Its the New Year!
Yup. In terms of footballing in Russia, winter just stops everything. Literally everything! The players are on leave, the grounds are all covered and every sane person is wrapped up indoors waiting for the whole thing to blow over but that didn't stop the awards being rolled out.
Prem'er Liga
Player of the Year - 2015/16
Rather unexpected to be totally honest but our right winger Tosic scoops up the award just ahead of fellow wide-man Musa. Our flanks have proved to be deadly this year with the duo raining in nearly Twenty Five assists between them in the season thus far. Not bad when you consider we've only played 17 games. Probably explains why the likes of West Brom and Southampton have been sniffing around him of late. Hands off._______

Yup. Another runner up but Doumbia has certainly ended his spell with CSKA on a high. Seventeen goals within just Twenty Two games and leaving behind some very good memories in the Russian capital. As you can see above he has already returned to Roma following the end of his loan. I can't help but think Doumbia is going to be wasted in Rome but its unfortunately out of my hands. Maybe he'll begin to hate the Italian Summers and crave a Russian Winter or two...maybe.
_______
Not a bad haul for CSKA.
These three have been crucial for CSKA this season and between them they have taken us to the top of the table in style. Truth be told I'm really worried with Doumbia now packing his bags for Italy but we cant afford to wait for a replacement to come walking into Moscow. Theirs a transfer window coming and we're getting desperate. Bring on the panic buys!
Cheers Sanchez, been keeping an eye on both of them, Karavaev looks very impressive can't wait to get him back.

We Survived the Russian Winter!
We emerge back into Spring and ready to get ourselves back up and running for the all important run in to the end of the season. With the Domestic League and Cup combined with the Europa League knock-out stages looming we need to get up to speed. Fast.

30th January 2016
Getting ourselves back up to speed with a comfortable victory over Ukrainian side Zorya. Given the current tension/war between these two countries its high unlikely this game would ever actually happen but atleast it gave Panchenko an opportunity to showcase his talents as he looks to claim the lead striker role for the rest of the season.
Friendly
3rd February 2016
Another clash against a Ukrainian side, this time in the shape of the Eastern European heavyweights, Shakhtar. They cruised out of there Champions League group and now have a huge game against Bayern Munich looming in the near future but we managed to hold them to a well earned draw in Moscow.
Berezutskiy Testimonial
6th February 2016
The third and final of our veteran defenders get his testimonial as Vasily Berezutskiy joins his brother Alexey and Sergey Ignashevich as legends of the team. The three defenders still prove to be a formidable force despite being in the twilight years of their careers and held out rivals Lokomotiv in a showcase of their undoubted skill within the back-line.
Friendly
Danish side Brondby failed to qualify for the group stages of the Europa League but certainly gave us a good warm up for two important knock out games that are quickly approaching. A second half goal rattled our usually reliable team and allowed the Danes to ****** an encouraging victory in their own backyard.
Friendly
We return to Russia for our final game of the mid-season warm-up and duly take apart second tier side Sokol. An impressive showing from our two players vying for the striker spot was an a welcome sight but with Musa being so effective on the wing and Panchenko more suited for an attacking midfielder role, I'm still not sure on who to go ahead with.
_______
Back to Action.
With three months off, its fair to say we are eager to get back into action, however we still have a transfer window to negotiate our way through and our brand new stadium is nearing completion.
Back to Action.
With three months off, its fair to say we are eager to get back into action, however we still have a transfer window to negotiate our way through and our brand new stadium is nearing completion.
We need to get down to business and fast.
With no out right striker, a squad of just Eighteen and just under three million pounds in the bank we have a lot of business to be done in the window however we still saw a couple of players leave Moscow for the remainder of the season.
Despite just two departures we saw a lot of interest surrounding our first team with our Brazilian right-back Mario Fernandes causing a bidding war between the Manchester clubs, newly crowned Player of the Year, Tosic drawing a couple of lowly bids from Germany and Austria and even West Brom trying to sign both the aging Ignashevich and even club icon Igor Akinfeev.
Needless to say we rejected all the bids placed towards our first team players and managed to convince those under the big clubs radars to remain with us till at-least the end of the season.
Having held the squad together and escaped any morale breaking transfer sagas we can turn our attention to adding to the ranks with a striker being the main focus for our tiny budgets.

_______
The Brazilian has starred for the likes of Real Madrid, Manchester City and AC Milan in an impressive career but has rarely played for the last three seasons dwindling back at boyhood club Santos and most recently in China with Guangzhou. Its a risky gamble but the veteran forward still has the ability to provide us with the goals to bring home some Silverware this season.
Given the funds available and the lack of decent Russian talent, it went about as good as could be expected for us in the window and Robinho sure could provide us with some much needed goals. However there are just two
small problems.
He's not a complete striker and we didn't register him in time for the latter stages of the Europe League.
_______
Combined with the fact I signed a player who was unavailable until January in the Summer, I think I might be awful at transfers in this Football Manager.
Cheers Timmzeh. Looking forward to seeing him in action!

The New Year also sees us discover who our competition will be in the EURO finals.
We're in the second pot for the draw and will be hoping to avoid any of the main competition at this early stage. With eyes firmly set on qualifying from the group, the results of the draw will hold a lot of sway in our success.
_______
Bosnia are the lowest rank side in our group but are by no means prepared to be the groups whipping boys. With the likes of Edin Dzeko and Miralem Pjanic in their ranks they certainly have the fire power to cause an upset or two in the group stages but losses to Israel and Cyprus last year go to show their weaknesses at the back.
_______
The Swiss are another side, who we would be foolish to underestimate. Shaqiri might not have the allure he once had whilst amongst the ranks of Bayerns greats but can still spring a surprise or two on a cold Tuesday night in Stoke, however qualifying from an easy group does mean that Switzerland could soon be in for an abrupt wake up call.
_______
The big dogs of the group. Having won the competition way back in 1988, The Dutch side will be keen to finally add to their trophy cabinet. Having always been so close to success, Holland will be eager to show a ruthless streak in this competition but with an ageing side and some big gaps in their team they are not the powerhouse they once where in Europe.
_______
It's do-able.
The group stage was relatively kind to us. We managed to avoid the likes of Germany and Spain however we still landed a fairly tough group. Neither Bosnia or Switzerland are likely to see this competition through without putting up a fight, whilst Holland will be keen to prove themselves once more, however I remain confident of being able to grind our way out of the group stage.

Robinho could fare into a decent signing I think! I can see you qualifying from that group too!
Hope so JamesScott on both counts.

Having got back up to speed in the Mid-Season friendlies we are straight into action in the Europa League.
Belgian outfit, Anderlecht await us in the first knockout stage of the competition. The reigning title holders in Belgium are no pushovers and always put on a strong showing in the European fixtures. We are in for a tough test after the long break.

Europa League - First Knockout Round - First Leg
18th February 2016
We couldn't find a way past the resilient Belgians and some sloppy defending on our own behalf allowed them to nick a winner mid way through the second half. The one benefit is that we are only behind by just the one goal however not being able to ****** an away goal was a big let down. We miss Doumbia.
Europa League - First Knockout Round - Second Leg
25th February 2016
The first leg came round to punish us as the lack of an away goal saw us slide out of the competition despite arguably being the better team over the two legs. Non the less the second leg was a lot more encouraging then the first with our two impressive wingers, Musa and Tosic both finding the net as we end our run in the competition with atleast some dignity.
_______
Treble dreaming no more.
With that, our efforts in Europe are over along with the hopes of adding three more trophies to the cabinet but atleast now we can fully concentrate on rounding off what has been an impressive season domestically thus far.

Before we get back to action in the league we have one last event to take care of.
We're moving out.
CSKA Peschanoe
Thirty Three thousand people can fit into this impressive stadium in the heart of Moscow and god knows how many will be able to fill into the Europa League inspired tower in the corner of the stadium.
Its a small stadium for any other club that would so regularly appear in the Champions League but with room to expand and a fan base to build in there new home, I am eager to see us build slowly into the stadium and create an atmosphere to be feared.
With just six home games remaining it should hopefully be easy to create a new formidable unbeaten run within the impressive stadium.
No more delays its time to get back to finishing off this season once and for all
Prem'er Liga
3rd March 2016
First game in our newly opened Stadium and we get things off to the perfect start. Rubin are having a horrific season, they sit in danger of relegation towards the foot of the table and set us up perfectly for a comfortable victory. One small problem only nine thousand loyal fans braved the freezing temperatures and snow to bear witness to our new home.
Prem'er Liga
7th March 2016
Its a fortress already! Tosic and Musa again made the difference from out wide as we secured another comfortable victory at the Peschanoe. The temperatures managed to remain in the positives for this game as Russia basked in a glorious zero degrees celsius and we managed to boost the attendance to a still slowly eleven thousand.
Prem'er Liga
12th March 2016
With two ideal home games done and dusted we return to the road and one **** of an important game against rivals Lokomotiv. Once again the midfielder came to the rescue here and provided us with two goals at the start and end of the game to narrowly secure an important victory.
Prem'er Liga
20th March 2016
Our last league game is against Anji. With no money the club find themselves floating around aimlessly in mid-table and the game certainly played out like our hosts had little to play for but we still struggled to put together any meaningful plays with a moment of brilliance from new arrival Robinho finally breaking the deadlock for his first in a CSKA shirt.
Kubok Rossii - Quarter Final
23rd March 2016
Rounding off the month is the Quarter-Final of the Kobok Rossii. Second tiers Tom Tomsk were supposed to be a walk over for us but ended up putting up a sterling fight at the last to nearly run out winners. It took a late equaliser of our own from Panchenko to take it penalties with lady luck eventually taking our side to carry us into the quarter-finals.
Prem'er Liga
A Perfect month returns us to a dominant position at the top of the table following the winter break but Zenit are hot on our heals with just six points separating us and the reigning title holders. With just eight games remaining in the league we're confidently striding towards the title now.
Europe Might have defeated us but Russia is ours for the taking.
Worries that we might suffer without Doumbia are soon banished as our remaining players do us proud to take us one step closer to the title. Their is still some distance to go but the newly finished Peschanoe could soon have another trophy to construct in the corner.

Prem'er Liga
3rd April 2016
Peschanoe remains unbreakable as we secure a third victory in a row at home. Former Chelsea winger Zhirkov nearly ended our streak early into a Dinamo controlled first half but we fought back well in the second to claim another valuable victory over our neighbouring rivals.
Prem'er Liga
10th April 2016
A surprising draw takes the wind out of our sails as a comfortable victory is soon replaced with a hard earned point. Musa gave us the lead shortly after the break but it proved to not be enough for us as Kuban repeatedly through waves of attack against our ageing defence eventually finding a deserved break through to share the spoils.
Kubok Rossii - Quarter Final
13th April 2016
The treble has well and truly died now as we drop out of Russia's only Cup competition courtesy of Villas-Boaz's Zenit. A closely fought game between the two of us boiled down to just the one goal with Russian striker Dzyuba ending his personal goal drought with a well taken goal to secure a spot in the final for our closest rivals. He sure picked a time to find the net.
Prem'er Liga
16th April 2016
Having knocked us out the cup we made the return trip to St Petersburg to play out an all important league tie. The game was a very ill tempered affair with Berezutskiy and Javi Garcia both being sent off but despite the poor discipline it was still a spectacular game for the two sets of fans as we eventually shared the points in a two all draw.
Prem'er Liga
25th April 2016
The new stadium continues to hold strong as we run out three goal victors over lowly Mordovia. A well taken penalty from Israeli Natkho set us on the right way with the ever reliable wingers Tosic and Musa both finding the net once more to make it a convincing victory for CSKA in front of another disappoint crowd in our new stadium.
Prem'er Liga
We Increase our lead over Zenit to Seven points and with it we secure a spot in the Europa League at the very least. A place in the competition is not what we are going to settle for however, a quick return to the Champions League is needed and if we can secure the title and a place in the Champions League group stage next month then we will do all we can to achieve it as soon as possible.
Its most definitely ours to lose. With Zenit needing not only a stellar month from themselves but an awful one from us, the fans of both teams are beginning to accept what the season has given them. CSKA fans are starting to plan how they will celebrate reclaiming the title, whilst fans in St Petersburg are looking to next season as to how they can overthrow us from the top.

With an impressive defensive display behind them the seemingly unstoppable Brugge boys take another step towards cementing themselves in Europa League history.

Juliper Pro League - Championship Group
With a three point advantage and just two games remaining, a one all draw for KV Mechelen saw us throw away a golden opportunity at claiming the title early but still leaves us at the top of the standings with just one game remaining. Surely the potential Europa League finalists couldn't throw this away now could they?
11th May 2027
Juliper Pro League - Championship Group
In worrying fashion a thirteenth minute goal threw our title hopes straight into jeopardy but a level headed and experience squad didn't buckle under the pressure from KRC Genk, leveling the game before the break with Europa League hero Frans *** building on his impressive start to his career with a title winning goal but a third straight title was over shadowed by a season ending injury to our lead-scorer Romelu Lukaku. His Europa League adventure comes to an abrupt and damaging end...
13th May 2027
Europa League - Semi Final - Leg 2
A frantic start to the match saw Leverkusen open the scoring after just nine minutes before giving us a welcome life-line with a clumsy own-goal just seconds later. As it turns out that fortunate equalizer would prove all important for the Black & Blue travelling support as a determined Leverkusen were left thwarted despite winning the game thanks to the away-goals rule. Will this dream ever end?
...Probably Yes. A Final against Italian giants Roma awaits. The formidable Serie A side are arguably one of the biggest teams in the entire competition. Having rode our luck all the way to the final it seems we are certainly going to have to work if we are to end this incredible run with the clubs first ever European Trophy.
