My actual save game is a history of success in cups, but lack of luck in leagues.

Started a career with FC Koln, from Germany (a second division team) and won, in the first year, the German Cup against Bayern Munchen (2x0). In the second division, I was 12 points ahead of Kaiserslautern in the half of the season, but somehow i managed to lose the division title and ended in the second place. Got promoted, though.

In the second year, with two or three signings, with a bit of luck (victories agains the major clubs with a poor performance) I was leading the Bundesliga, 2 points ahead of Bayern and Dortmund, in the 13rd round when i was contacted by Olympique Marseille. Challenge accepted. Oh, yes, i won the Supercup (winners of the cup and the league) against Dortmund, 2-1.

OM was in a bad situation in the league (13rd or 14th, i think), but i managed to finish the french league in the 4th place and qualify to Europa League. Nevertheless, i won one more cup for my curriculum, by beating PSG 4-0 in the final of the french league cup.

The second season in OM (third year of my career) was a bit unlucky in the league and in Europe, with great performances but not so great results, thanks to my blind strikers. Finished at 3rd place at the french league and was a runner up in the Europa League, losing by 2-1 for Schalke 04 in the great final. However, one more trophy to my shelves: won the French Cup against Valenciennes, 3-1. At the end of the year, i was contacted by Arsenal, and accepted.

Now, in my fourth season, I just won the Capital One cup against Swansea (3-0) and I am in the second place in the Premier League. Still on the FA Cup (quarter-finals vs Man City away - afraid that i am going to lose this one) and the Champions League (16-round vs Porto, lost the first leg by 1-0, but totally possible to get qualified).

In resume, 4 years, 5 cups, 0 leagues.

After my team Hartlepool united got relegated IRL this season I decided to do a new save and see if I could secure enough points to stay up.

Made 4 or 5 loan/free transfers and managed to win the league using my own tactics.

In the last 4-5 games I managed to consecutively win every match to mace from 5th to 1st beating Sheffield untied to the title on the last day of the season!
Was chuffed to bits to say the least.
 
Well, this could go into the frustrations for those who need shown you can give this kind of stats to the AI. In FM13 as in any of the previous versions.

And in my game with Real Madrid, that I began from January 2013 (started with Brazil league loaded), after sending Barça out in the Copa del Rey semifinals (0-2 and 0-0), I had the second league match against them, at home, and managed something I didn't expect to ever do against Barça with any team:

 
Don't have the screenshot right now but in my first season I just beat Liverpool 4-3 on aggregate to get into the Europa League group stages

3-2 at Anfield as well!

Probably the best game, statistically, I've had on FM. I've had one or two wins by even bigger margins and several other 8-0s (including the previous game in this CL group in fact!) but the complete domination isn't something I've seen at quite this scale. Obviously helped by playing against a woeful team who were down to ten men after 23 seconds and used up all three subs after 14 minutes, but 32 shots to 1, 73% possession - I'm sure plenty others will be more accustomed to those kind of stats, but I'm manager of bloomin' Harrogate!

I just won Manager of the Year without having got a single Manager of the Month award in that season. I didn't even place until February (when I was 3rd), and then I got one more third and a second. That must be pretty unique.

No secret why. Last season, Norwich were bottom of the table when I took them over in November, and we eventually limped to safety with two games to go - which were Arsenal and Man U, so it was as close as it could have been. This year (2015/16) started badly. Charlie Austin joined on a Bosman from Burnley after scoring 28 in their promotion season, surely the only time anyone has got the Premier League's top scorer and winner of the Golden Shoe for free. But he took an an age to bed in - 11 games without a goal, missing chance after chance. Eventually his head seemed to drop and he stopped even getting chances, at which point I relegated him to the bench. We were limping along just above the relegation zone and doing nothing to confound the pundits' prediction of 14th place.

But after Austin came on as a sub against Tottenham away and grabbed both goals in a 0-2 upset, there was no looking back. 28 goals last year, and despite starting late he bettered that by one and walked off with his second consecutive PL Golden Boot by a street. And Tom Ince, Rasmus Falk and at the back, record signing Dória also came into devastating form. Starting with a 2-0 victory against Chelsea (both goals scored by - guess who - Austin), our final 13 matches consisted of 2 losses, 2 draws, 9 victories - almost championship-winning form. Taking us from relegation candidates last year to 7th this year - above Chelsea, and way above our predicted finish of 14th.

The only negative was that we went out of both cups in the first round. 7th isn't good enough for Europe and we were well off 6th, so that was never a hope. But Ince and Austin have fired their way into their first England caps just in time for the Euros, which makes me very pleased with myself. Come on England :-)
