I won the FA Cup and finishing 2nd in the league in my 3rd season with Newcastle and then the following season winning the league, FA Cup, League Cup and semis of the champions league (lost to Real M, they also beat me twice in the groups).

Start of the 5th season I am already top of the league and just beat AC Milan 7-0 in my 1st game in the champs league.

My biggest sell last season was of J Evans who I bought for 24m, then Man City to bid 49m and my board sold him.

My first 11 this season is - (GK) Adler / (DL) Fatic / (DC) Subotic & Fazio (DR) Spence / (DM) Rodwell / (AM) Di Maria & Verratti / (ST) Lukaku, Hulk & Tafer.

This is the best I have ever done in a FM game alone as I tend to play online with friends, and thanks to this site for tips etc. I changed my formation to 3 strikers for something different as I'm starting to get a little bored. :(

I am trying to get an international job but I have been rejected for everything so far.

I've just taken my Paredes team to Porto in the 3rd round of the cup and won on penalties. I'm in the 3rd season, having got promoted to Liga Vitalis last season. In my 1st year we got to the final (somehow!) and porto beat us 3-0 so it was sweet to get revenge
 
After winning the league, fa cup and league cup in the 4th season with Newcastle I decided to drop out of the league cup and fa cup on purpose so I could concentrate on the champs league. I managed to win the league by 12 points and beat Liverpool in the champs league final 5-1.

Start of the 6th season I decided to buy no-one for a change and let my finances rest even having 61m to spend this season (I was 70m in the red until the end of the season when I got all my prize money). I also managed to finally get offered an international job with Brazil. First friendly with them and I beat Germany 4-1.

One player I would have bought if he wasn't so expensive would have been Sakho, but I bid 35m and it was rejected so I decided to leave my team alone this season, or until Jan.

I have not used any patches this year playing the game as it was when I brought it.
Playing with Hull City and .....

Well after a long hard 1st season of trying to keep Hull in the league, finished a respectable 11th place on 42 points.
Only additions made to my squad were
Micheal Tonge 3.5m raising to 4m after x amount of apperances
Pedro
Carroll on loan
Bruno Berner
Landon Donovan - Free in January

With pre-season around the corner this season is full of promise, the board have requested that I avoid relagation again this season, and have provided me a budget of £25 mil to do so.

Signed Carroll on a permant deal for £3.3m - he scored 12 goals last term
Sonko - £4m after a succesful loan spell
Deco - on a free
Nugent 375k bargin

Currently in talks with Spurs about Kyle Naughton and Bolton about Cahill. I hope these 2 will then complete my spending.

Sold Fagan Newcaslte 2.5m
Looking of off load Celeb Forlan as well -
 
Before I stop playing FM, I knew I had to keep Hull City in the Premier League. Last year, it had been my only successful game on 09, where I did the quadruple in my final year. I have attempted to keep them up twice, and both times been relegated. It was third time lucky and the Goals Glutter tactic kept me up. We ended up in 13th position, one of my biggest achievements. Here are my first season, second season signings, league table and squad. Enjoy. :P​

My transfers for last season. I managed to get rid of a lot of dead wood and reduce the wage budget!

My squad!​
 
In my save I did something stupid. I resigned from Newcastle and stayed with Brazil so I could see if I could win a few trophies with Brazil. I soon got bored and wanted to go back to Newcastle. So I went to load up the game and realised I saved over the game!

The last save I had for it was at the start of the 5th season (I was in the 6th). So I set myself away on holiday and made sure I won the league and champs league again, and saved it :( I won the champs league on the 1st attempt but kept drawing my 2nd last game (that meant arsenal were ahead of me on goal difference, so I had to win it.). I done so much better last time which I won the league by 12 points. I won't be making that mistake again.

Tried a few other games with teams and couldn't get into them.

I loaded up the top 2 leagues from England, Italy, Spain and Russia. My challenge: to win all competitions in these countries with my super-manager. I started in Italy with Sampdoria, who are a decent side but will be a challenge to break the dominance of the big 3 to win the Serie A, Italian Cup, Italian Super Cup and Champions League. So far I have all but the CL under my belt, and with job offers flying in from various teams, I feel this will possibly be my last season to win it, after making the 1/4 and semi finals the last 2 years. If I do manage to win it this year, Spain or England will probably be my targets, preferably a decent side like Villa, Tottenham, Valencia, etc, but I wouldn't say no to a Chelsea, Liverpool or Real Madrid :)
 
Fancied a bit of a challenge so I decided to go Barnet in League 2 because they had the coolest away strip.

Board expectations were minimum, basically just to stay in the league but I also had no money so I had to do my best with free players and loans.

Managed to gain promotion to league 1 and went the whole season unbeaten and dropping very few points.

Here is the league table:


I alternated my tactics depending on the opponent I was facing, if the opponent was fairly easy and I was expected to win, I went for 4-3-3 and if I was expected to lose I went for 4-1-2-3 for a bit of extra defence.

My 4-3-3:


4-1-2-3:


Here are my transfer for the season as well:


Having gained promotion to League 1, the board gave me a bit more money, but I opted for a higher wage bill than having any transfer money. A few players left and I opted for a reserve team so I brought in quite a lot of young players to help build a good squad.

Here are my 2nd season transfers:


I'm currently top of League 1 but other than one easy game, they have all been fairly tight and my 3-3 draw was a very good game. I've stuck to the same tactics really as I felt if it aint broke, don't fix it.

Here is league 1 as it stands:
 
Started a game with Bolton (You may think it's boring :P) and enjoyed Pre-Season. Made my own tactics and tried to sign as many different players as possible. The only player I have signed before is Lacina Traore but that was only once.

Garrido, Wilson, Traore and Anthony Annan have all be signed.

I was also amazed at getting £8,500,000 for Elmander but Birmingham seemed desperate to spend money so I was only too happy to oblige. ;)

My transfer policy was 'Out with the old, in with the new.' McCann, Elmander, Samuel, Shittu, Vaz Te and Cohen are all players that I considered dead wood. Klasnic's loan was also terminated as well as Weiss's and Holden, who didn't fit into my tactics, was loaned out to West Brom.

Tactics are designed to get the best out of Kevin Davies (Or Lacina Traore) and players such as Annan fitted perfectly into this.

The defenders are all versatile. I can switch between Garrido/Robinson, Steinsson/Ricketts, Cahill/Knight/Wilson/O'Brien. I have a wide range of Defensive Midfielders in Annan/S.Davis/Basham. Central midfield is OK with M.Davies/Muamba/Annan/Gardner/Basham. This could be improved. Finally, we have 2 target men in K.Davies/Traore!

I will update regularly. :)​
 
A good start to the season against West Ham. Not a game of many chances. As you will soon see, our finishing was excellent. We won 2-0 and scored both of our clear cut chances. Davies was first on the scoresheet with a nice placed finish just after half time. Taylor scored a fine header which put West Ham out of the game. Not much more to say but well done. Steinsson also got Man of the Match with an 8.3 and 1 assist. :)​

Bolton 2-0 West Ham (Davies, Taylor)

As the Transfer Window ended, I looked back on the transfers I had made and was pleased with the strengthening of the squad. I had spent £12,900,000 on players, unusual for Bolton, but sold £18,000,000 worth. From now on, I was going to make sure that I kept the finances tight and never spent too much money unless I had to.

It was great to see players who had already grown to a high calibre, join the club such as Anthony Annan and Javier Garrido. Both acclaimed for their consistent performances and ability to shine in the big matches.

But, as always for me, it was about getting some younger players in too. Lacina Traore joined the club on a loan to buy basis. He has already bagged one assist from one substitute performance. Annan is only 23, so he is also one to keep for a few years! Danny Wilson, is the biggest potential star of all. Some say he is soon to be a world beater. He has also given some solid performances so far along with an assist.​

I did make one new signing on the last day of August. With £5,000,000 left to spend, I couldn't waste it. Brazilian playmaker Dude Cearense joined for a fee of £4,600,000. Quite steep for a club like Bolton Wanderers. He is sure to shine!​

Dudu is a quality player for any club so I was delighted when he accepted my contract offer!​
