Memphis Depay was an absolute beast this season. He came in 3rd for the Ballon D'or, was the young player of the season og European golden boy... He was my best signing!

Now lets see how the season ended:

Yes, i came in 3rd, i ended up missing out on those vital points in some of the last games, thought i had it all the was :-(


All in all, a great season. I know my team only will get better from here on out! I believe i will clinch the Premier League next season and go far in the Champions League!!

This challenge is alot of fun!
 
im new to this forum, was just looking for a database update and came across this challenge! Been looking for something to get me more interested in the game again ... im looking forward to taking on this challenge and posting updates!

I got inspired by Revotsew's tatctic (one page 1 in this thread) :) so i use that with my own twerks on the settings of the tactic :)
 
I'm interested to see how this would look signing purely English players...might have to attempt this tonight and see how it goes...How do I take screenshots like the above?
 
You can take Screenshots in game but cant remember how... i just did "print screen" put it in paint and uploaded them. An all English team would be interesting, although Sterling & Wilshere cost me 140m on their own! Which is why i went with a mixture of English & Foreign but also got a few younger English players i know develop well

what kergon has said is really the only way to do screenshots although you can't do them in full screen mode as it will just print screen your desktop.
to print screen football manager you have to make sure it is running in windowed mode found under the preferences

I am having a go at this at the moment but have set myself the target of not letting me spend over 100k in wages on a player to start with.
 
I want to give this game a go. Think I will try and sign some players I've always admired and build a team to suit them, instead of sign every good player. More fun that way I would imagine!
 
I started this last night with only English players and staff. I will post a screenshot tonight with my squad. It isn't going well so far, so any input would be appreciated!
 
I can't get the logo & kits to work, help anyone? I've added them to their correct folders where all other team logo and kits are ect, named them properly, i've tried all sorts of stuff with the configs. Im Stuck!
