Promoted to la Liga in my first season at Las Palmas de Gran Canaria through play offs.
Media prediction was 10th. Now looking forward to take over La Liga muahahha

not really my achievement but im currently in 2014/15 season with villa and am in the Europa League. Which my group consists of CSKA, Valencia and Slovan Bratislava. Match day 1 im pitted against Valencia and CSKA took on Bratislava and i notice a few goals going in but didnt really pay much attention until the end and CSKA put 15 past them.......surely must be a record there!!

needless to say Bratislava finished bottom of the group scoring 2 (against me) and conceding 52 goals in 6 games!!!
 
Ter Stegen quality.

Didn't expect this, just bought the player and started to panic when i saw him so far out...

Had a ton of success with my Mansfield town team. Back to back promotions to the Prem which wasn't exactly straightforward (Won Blue Sq, 2nd in League 2, 1st in League 1 and grabbed the last play off spot in the Championship) and I'm currently 10th at the start of January.

Not too shabby. Was predicted relegation from League 2 onwards which was some achievement.

Spent 4.5m getting to the Prem, which isn't bad considering a majority of that was spent when I got my budget for the Championship. Only spent 10k from Blue Square > League 1. The board gave me 22m for avoiding relegation in the prem and I signed ;

Willian 11.75m (£22k p/w wages, insane)
Dominik Crepuja 10m (Regen from Dinamo, rated as a leading star for most prem sides)
Daniele Rugani (2.5m)
Micheal Dawson (300k)
Lars Bender (on loan, 80k a month fee off set by me sending regens out on loan with 10/20k monthly fees)
Lorik Cana (free)
Van Persie (free, 7k p/w wages as a Under 18s manager/player)
Lukas Podolski (free, 23k p/w wages)
Andrea Bertolacci (free, absolute beast I've always overlooked, 10m value already)
Fabrice N'Skala (free)
Mauro Boselli (loan)

and a couple more potential leading star regens on frees or 1-2m fees.

Here's my first team, my assistant has 18/19 judging ability so the future is looking awesome! I also have 5 4-5 star regens on loan, a 5 star 17 year old Mexican who is Messi re-incarnated and a 17 year old 5 star potential Brazillian coming Jan 2018! I'm also ''tapping'' up Ross Barkley, Jack Butland, Rossi, Tevez and ter Stegen who are unhappy with expiring contracts but can't sign them yet!

Playing a 4-2-1-2-1 at the moment which is solid taking advantage of my midfield strength, I find with the 2 DMC's it gives the Advanced Playmaker basically a free role to cause havoc which you can see is working well from his average rating and considering he is a winger at heart (18/18 pace/accel) but he has great playmaking stats too. Once my future superstar regen LB/RB Ricardo and Cartu develop more I'll play them more attacking. I switch between a 4-3-3, 4-5-1 depending on who i'm playing though and what formation they're using

Pretty much have my team set for the next 10 years - already have 7 players under 21 around the first team. My main GK is 18 and improving all the time. Here's a screenie - rated as the potential to be a leading GK keeper but he's nearly there already!

Probably my favourite achievement on any FM game so far.

Save with Crewe:
1st season - 11th League One
2nd season - 1st League One
3rd Season - 2nd Championship
4th Season - 8th Premier League
5th Season - 4th Premier League

Sadly the only thing which took the shine off it, was Man City winning the Champions League and finishing 5th...so I missed out on the Champions League for next season. Gutted!

Managed to do it with a tiny wage bill and I spent 10 mil on transfers, recouping 5 mil on sales.

I signed Beckham on a free for Mansfield. Granted, he's 40 years old now but his stats are good and... well it's Beckham. I also FINALLY got the bored to agree to expand my scouting network to Europe.

Also won promotion into the Championship but eh... Beckham is better :)
 
Just a small update on my first season in the prem with Mansfield.

View attachment 308202

We've been on a fantastic run recently after a typical period of inconsistancy, 5 straight away wins and 7 all together has seen us secure a 8th place spot, I'm just delighted not to have been dragged into a relegation battle considering my GK and 2 first choice CB's are aged 18, 18 and 19 respectively. Extremely impressed with the 3-0 win against Swansea who have hit great form and are 5th, they were 8 games without a loss until they played me. Just been hammered at Old Trafford by Utd 5-0, however I wasnt' too hard on the team as they've been so impressive recently and it was coming in all honesty.

I'm happy with the games v City and Spurs though, both narrow defeats which I feel we should have got something out of both games.

Here's a few screenies on some stand out performers recently..

Berto has been brilliant since joining on a free, a complete steal. Never used him or heard his name mentioned on FM 2013 but he's pure quality. Suits the team perfectly, great passing/creativity and off the ball but also a solid all round with decent physical and defensive stats.

View attachment 308208

Willian. What more can I say! Our record signing and worth every penny at 11.75m.

View attachment 308209

10m Croat regen from Dinamo. Has 2 blinding seasons in his homeland and he's took to the prem easily. His pace/accel/agility and balance makes him deadly, with great passing/first touch and crossing makes him a handful. Still not the finished article either.

With 10 more future first teamers on the books, many starting to hold down first 11 spots at my club or on loan, and making a profit of 4m per month the future is looking bright. Currently sharing Sheff Utd's ground while mine is upgraded to the prem standard 12,500 (i think.) sees me pulling 20-25,000 fans per match and 850k-1m in ticket sales alone per game which is awesome considering my monthly expenditure on wages is only 1.5m and 4.8m expenditure all together. Haha, I love the financial side - my accountancy training wasn't wasted afer all ;)

I love the golden oldies. Especially in the lower leagues, like Litmanen/Blanco etc. Some have insane Mental stats. Managed to snag RvP and Podolski when I got promoted to the prem on super low ''player/staff'' wages, they both are still pretty effective even just for their experience. Got Angelo Palombo when I got to the championship, was awesome. Currently trying to get a 34 year old Ibrahimovic, 33 year old Tevez and a 35 year old Vidic!

Your mansfield save is ******* awesome mate! :D

Thanks man :) I love starting in the lower professional leagues, all that's left for me to do is win the prem and become a force in Europe and win the champions league. Then I think i'll start in some ridiculously obscure footballing country like Korea or Estonia or a real amateur club in England. I find that as a human player we have a significant advantage over the A.I though, I can always grab players on loans or frees that could easily hold down a place in top teams in the league or even a league or two above! And don't get me started on the regens. I've pretty much secured the league/europe for the next 10 years with regens on frees or 500k-2m fees. None of them have come from really obscure teams either, Cruzerio, Dinamo, FC Midtjylland, Atlas etc. Every career I get attached to them, I wish I could take one or two from saves over past FM's like my long term Fleetwood game I had in 2012...or a couple from 2005-07 where they'd have like 20 finishing/pace/composure/technique and so on lol.

I picked up these 2 from Crewe when I was in League 2 with them, 95k and a free for 2 ''future leading prem players''. One is starting to hold down my only ST spot after finally scoring after 17 games haha. I like Lynch but his team work and work rate slighly lets him down, but he's basically gonna be a English Ibrahimovic once i'm done with him - I love how you can work on certain attributes in this game. James hasn't set the world alight on his loans but played a full season for me in the Championship with a 7.21 av rating and can only get better! It's got that point where I'm having to loan out 4-5 star regens doubting that they'll ever get a first team spot because there's so many of them!

Then I spot these 3 players, I'd defiantly re-train the turkish ST as a AMR though...but can get he get past my other 3 under 21 AMR's and the ''Mexican Messi'' who joins next year...ridiculous..first world problems for sure. Problem is my scouts just keep throwing me these insane regens every month and I've got enough shortlisted/loaned out to build another 2-3 League winning teams...I just want them all before the A.I get them haha

Yeah, i would really like to take a low end side like mansfield myself to glory (as a liverpool fan i like mansfield) unfortunately i havent really played too much of fm13 as the game runs to slow on my pc, but i am getting a pretty beast pc tomorrow actually, so i will deffinately play it alot more, and Benito Cannone looks like a real amazing gem of a find. Oh and please the next time you post pics of players, would you care to include the attribute graph? it makes it alot easier getting a nice perspective over what the player is like :)
Oh and also, i totally get what you mean when you say that you get attached to players, i will always remember some of the regens from my fm12 save like my homegrown Paul Williams that came from liverpool and was basically the spawn og Gerrard and also at 17 years old how he won me the champions league by scoring a goal in the 93rd minute
