To be honest mate I cant help that much as I have only ben Bilbao on FM13 so havent been a team where you can buy anyone (apart from a very short dally with Chelsea). There are so many ways to play the game and the trick is to find the one that works best for you that doesnt take up a very long time.

Anywho I go by the following rules -

Get the best coaches I can and try and include club legends/icons
Keep an eye on various regen dates to hunt for players
Give youth a chance!

Sorry I cant be of more help

Don't worry about it! :)
I mean, if that is what was working for you at Bilbao and what still is working for you at Bilbao, then I'm presuming it's roughly the same kind of rules once I get to Bilbao's starting quality. So once I'm in the Premier League and finishing about top 6 or 7, then this method should start working pretty much. I get the jist of tactics. I've had this same tactic I'm using at the moment work on many different teams at many different levels in FM so it's pretty much about the quality of my players for the meantime.

END OF SEASON POST


A fantastic season where we won every available trophy. We pipped Barca to the title despite them being unbeaten, demolished Chelsea in Europe and sailed through the other competitions. So how can we improve? I have a plan! lol

SPAIN

FIFA WORLD CUP


Group D


Spain 3-2 Cameroon
Ortega, Muniain, Javi Martinez

Line Up: Asenjo. Ramos, Pique, Javi Martinez, Alba, Busquets, Fabregas (Vazquez), Ortega, Herrera (Thiago), Bernal*, Muniain (Bueno)

We fell behind here and recovered well to go 3-1 up but then slipped up to make it a nervy finish! Moises Bernal set-up all 3 goals.

Jamaica 1-2 Portugal

---------------------------------------------------

Portugal 1-4 Spain
Muniain, Fabregas (pen), Maicon (og), Javi Martinez


Line Up: Asenjo, Ramos (Azpilicueta), Pique, Javi Martinez*, Alba, Busquets (Prieto), Fabregas, Ortega (Isco), Herrera, Bernal, Muniain

A fantastic result as we lay down a marker for the rest of the tournament. We surged into a 4 goal lead before Laranjeira pulled one back late on for Portugal. This win sees us qualify for the next round also.

Cameroon 2-0 Jamaica

---------------------------------------------------

Spain 4-1 Jamaica
Ortega 2, Muniain, Bernal

Line Up: Asenjo, Ramos, Pique, Javi Martinez, Alba (Victor Ruiz), Busquets, Fabregas, Ortega, Herrera, Bernal*, Muniain (Bueno)

Jamaica never really stood a chance against us here and we surged into a 3 goal lead inside the first 20min. Bueno and Javi Martinez both had goals disallowed so the win could have been even larger! Bernal got another 3 assists but Muniain picked up an injury and will miss the rest of the tournament..........

Portugal
0-0 Cameroon

FIFA WORLD CUP

2nd Round

Spain 4-1 Mexico
Herrera, Mata 2, Ortega
AET

Line Up: Asenjo, Ramos (Azpilicueta), Pique, Javi Martinez*, Alba, Busquets, Fabregas, Isco(Ortega), Herrera, Bernal, Bueno (Mata)

Well this was a strange game! Muniain was obviously out and Ortega needed a rest and therefor we struggled for much of the match and needed a late Herrera equaliser to keep us in it but I brought Ortega and Mata on for extra time and they ripped Mexico to shreds!

Germany 1-0 Australia
France 6-2 Scotland
Ghana 4-0 Cameroon
U.S.A. 1-3 Argentina
Brazil 6-0 Nigeria
Italy 1-2 Morocco
Uruguay 0-3 Japan
 
Some strange results!
Australia, Scotland, USA, Morocco, Japan or there along with 3 other African teams!
Then Italy and Uruguay getting knocked out!

Where's England, Portugal and Holland?!

FIFA World Cup

Quarter-Finals


Germany 1-2 Spain
Bueno 2


Line Up: Asenjo, Ramos, Pique, Javi Martinez, Alba, Busquets (Vazquez), Fabregas, Ortega (Isco), Herrera (Mata), Bernal, Bueno*

We got lucky here as Germany were by far the better team but we scored with our 1st 2 shots on target (ended up with 3!) to go 2up. Pique then got sent-off and Ozil pulled a goal back late on but we hung on.



France 2-1 Ghana

What a comeback!!!! We were 2 down when Higuain netted both goals - his 2nd coming in the 87th minute - but we scored twice in the remaining 3min to take it into extra-time!!!!! Ortega struck a minute into ET but they soon equalised however Ortega completed his hat-trick to send us through to the final.
