Gaming Football Manager 2016

That's no excuse for refusing your development as a professional!

I'm happy to announce that my motivation is now at an all time high, a whopping "11". I'm still stuck at half a star of reputation though (10% in the stat-bar thingy), so I need to step up my game! No wonder though, I dont know any managers currently managing in the South African 2nd division either..
1st application rejected. We'd div in South America. :lol:
 
Desperate times requires desperate measures, and I need to take advantage of my role in the national team!

I'm going to try to give a bunch of free agent Egyptians their debuts in the upcoming games, simply to make me their favorite person. Maybe they would like to join my 2nd division South African side if they like me enough? It's worth a try, cause this shower of shite wont be getting any promotions soon..
 
Got a job from Brazil with a club just relegated to the 3rd div but they couldn't pay my club the compensation fee :lol:

Maybe I can resign and gamble that they go for me? :nervous:

I've done that before, but they'll just reject your application :(
 
Ooh boy, I managed to qualify for the African Cup of Nations with Egypt, which apparently was the first time in their history!

And due to my success with Egypt (:lol:) I've gained an entire star, reputation wise! Surely I'll be getting calls from Barca and Real Madrid any day now.
 
It's time for the first match of the season at PSBL, the most obscure team FM16 has to offer. I've got 3 goalkeepers and a sweeper on my subs bench - this will be fun :lol:

Boris Derp somehow pulled a 2-0 win out of his backside, although his midfield 3 was made up of a DL, ST and MC by the end of the game

Sounds exotic :drool:

Did it take you guys a long time to get a job? I guess you chose more obscure leagues than I did, since all I could get for the first year was international jobs..

It took me about two days, if that - I went on holiday, set it to apply to all jobs and immediately I was back in the game with an interview. Not quite sure what happened there really. How are you deciding when it's time for you to up and leave a club?

I've applied for some U23 jobs but I'm not hearing anything back from them...
 
So I've just signed a player, a desperately needed CM. Everything goes smoothly, he's happy Boris is happy, until I see he's listed as suspended... I check the details.

He's banned until 16th November... 2034! Er, what?! :lol:

Which league is this?

I am still with the skint VW Hamme. Have managed 22 points in the last 8 games leaving me 6 off top with 6 games to go. No way can I leave at this stage so I'm going to see the season out.

Wtf :lol: What's the reason?
 
@Varun 3rd tier in the Indonesian League. It's ridiculous down here.

I've got no idea why he's suspended! Never mentioned at all before signing him. An 18 year ban... :lol:

Click on the Sus button next to his name. That should tell you the reason.
 
I have to admit that buying a player who is banned for 18 years is a bold move @Waldner

I hope it pays off for you.
 
Doesn't give a reason, just states the length. Weird.
Oh. What's his name?

I'm 4-1 up against the league leaders at their home. This could be a massive win.

VW Hamme, making mincemeat of their opposition :drool:

Just by not stepping onto the pitch he's the best player we currently have.

He's called Andik Rachmad. I'll get a screenshot sorted
 
Here's the star himself:

Nice 5* potential.

Lets hope he still has that when he is 39.
 
You have to admire my muppetry. I get Nottingham Forest promoted in the first season and at the start of the second season Turan, Fabregas, Costa, Willian and Oscar are all transfer listed so I bid for them all. :lol:

As of yet none of them are interested in joining me.
 
Still waiting for Boris to complete his National C here... it's now nearly 8 months when it was supposed to be just 4? I hope that's normal - I can't be dealing with this team any more!
 
And as luck would have it, I complete it a few days after posting that. Boris is now officially qualified!

Time to get myself out of this hellhole of a club and onto the proper managerial circuit...

Depends really. I figured early that a national team was a good thing, so that I can keep busy and enhance my reputation even if I am between clubs. I've more or less only quit a job after a season has ended, or applied for new ones when I've completed the badges the club can afford to. I quit Pune FC when they were afraid to lose me if they gave me more badges. Guess they've learned their lession.

Currently halfway through the season with Cape Town All Stars (:drool) and I'm looking good for promotion. Egypt is turning out to be quite fun with loads of decent players as well. I need to contain myself though, and not try to jump to the bigger leagues as soon as possible. Hopefully I would need more than 3 seasons before a big club wants me. If any of the bigger leagues offers me a job, I might quit and start over.
 
Boris has decided to leave Indonesia and it's concept of 4 first team goalkeepers well alone now, deciding to forge ahead with a new challenge in the South African 2nd division with Santos FC. Immediately they have given him funds and set him up on his way to a National B licence - they must be as blinded as everyone else. Lunatics.

Santos are currently 6th, 5 points behind the playoff places in 2nd and 3rd, with 10 more matches to be played. This should be interesting!
 
I am still playing FM 15 but how do I make sure my international players are fit for the WC? Every WC I manage like 15 of the 23 need a rest. Its the stupidest thing I have ever seen. Why cant i send them to rest for a week like we can do with clubs?

Correction: Its 20 out of the 23. Only the GKs arent in need of a rest. I played two friendlies before the WC and everyone needs a rest. The WC hasnt even started. Bloody hell!

Welcome to the show, kid :D shame you chose those bastards at Santos, but atleast you'll experience the beauty of the African 2nd Division... Copycat
 
Last game of the season coming up. 2nd with 63 points with the leader at 65 and the team below me at 62. It all comes down to this. :drool:
 
Good luck!
I won my game. The table toppers were drawing till the 86th minute before scoring and winning the league by 2 points. fecking heartbreak. Had they drawn the game, I would have won the league on head to head. :(
