Southampton are fairly rich - they spent about £30m in real life this summer. Sam hasnt used the editor as he appears on the leaderboard - if you use the editor you dont

I don't even know how to use the editor I'm useless at stuff like that. Like Klippy said Southampton get a very decent budget and I do use Monthly Installments on a lot of my transfers

Monthly Review


Yeah so sorry its taken so long guys, as you can see from the date in the screenies I've had it done for ages. I literally haven't played FM over the xmas period and people I have as mates on Steam can vouch for me for that. It looks like a solid month with only the QPR game a slight worry but good results in the Champions League and a solid win over Everton with David Villa(who I forgot I even had) scoring the winner.


I also remember having a £5m bid for Torres accepted but his wage demands were stupidly high.


Player of the Month

Mattia Destro

That hair and beard combo looks inspired by Nocerino if you ask me. But 3 league goals this month and well looks like he played well, not like I can remember!!

Thanks man, here's my other one from FM12 again with Southampton. Had an unreal regen called Bertoli who smashed in 78 goals in one season at the age of 20

Monthly Review


Fantastic month in the league but awful in Europe!! I'm sure most of you can do the match but that loss to Benfica means we crash out in the Group Stage, something I don't think has ever happened to me in FM . It was a tough group and Benfica are a strong side.

In the league though we were undefeated with notable wins over Spurs and Norwich. A stunning game against Reading in which we had 30 shots!!! But it took a last minute goal from that man Ademilson to secure the 3 points!!

In other news John Guidetti and Adryan join feeder club Huddersfield as both were moaning about lack of action. Guidetti smashed in 6 goals in 3 games for them since joining.



Player of the Month

Ademilson

4 Goals against Norwich and 6 in total proves he is right up there with David Villa fighting for that striker spot.

So confirmation that we are out of the Champions League but we are in the Europa League. I would love to win it but I'll decide its importance when the draw is made and depending on how we're doing in the league.​
