He's turning into a beast, nice!
Gaming Football Manager 2016

- Start date
Just sealed my 6th consecutive title. Not getting bored purely because I hate celtic 
Signed a striker 3 years ago to be backup to James Wilson (Bargain at £1.9 Million)
149 Games and 162 Goals later I think I'm right in thinking that I stumbled on a decent forward
Did cost me 13 Million though but TBF I think he's been well worth it.
Here he is:

If he's the back up, I'd like to know what numbers Wilson is racking up.

Was doing okay then he kept getting injured and he was my only real striker. Saw that fella listed and thought I'd strengthen. Wilson ended up on the LW as a IF with some success before doing his cruciate last year. Only just recovering now and looks half the player unfortunately

Just confirmed my CL status for next season. 17m and 220k wages to spend.
Almost all gone, already. Stretched to 34m, and in comes Emre Can and most importantly the homecoming of Kimmich! Two top young German players fitting the club philosophy.
Had to get Can on a crap release clause, but the big deal is Kimmich.

Took over a shit NUFC in 29/30. No HG players so i'm building a young side, squad average age 21,4. Bought this lad from Benfica:
Anyone know a way to fix my problem? Game downloaded an update and now gets stuck at the loading screen every time.
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but same problem.

Try deleting the cache
Have u got logo's or facepacks or anything like that? I had a problem last year where it was stuck on the loading screen and it turned out it was the club badges that i installed.
Nah none of that, will try erasing the cache later and see how that goes.
Don't understand managerial appointments on this game. Liverpool sack their manager (Eddie Howe) because they're bottom of the league with 7 points from 11 games and then they decide the man to fix their problems is the Newcastle manager who has got them to 19th with 8 points in 11 games.
Deleted my cache, deleted preferences and reverified game cache. Still just sits on the loading screen for eternity.
Any other ideas appreciated.

TBF it's not like that doesn't happen in real life sometimes.
True. Guess it's managerial appointments everywhere I don't understand.
Totally, I see some daft ones sometimes and think WTF? Lol but that's just football I guess
I can't seem to win many away games with Leverkusen. Still second, a point behind Bayern (and I have the second best away record - though everyone bar Bayern has losing record away from home) but can't seem to figure out a tactic that will work.
Any skins or anything odd installed?
Celtic haven't beaten me in any competition for 6 years
Thats 30 games

FFS is Deila still the manager?!
Maybe it's Rodgers, at least then you know despite all that, that you'd have shown great character.
Ole is
Feel like my Rangers save is coming to an end. Been here 13 years and won 10 SPL titles (8 in a row ATM)
Had 4 treble winning seasons back to back and also a perfect 38-0 league season, which was very satisfying
Enjoyed it although I'm not making much inroads in Europe, there's no money in Scotland and I'm lucky if I get 4 players in the youth intake, more so if any of them are half decent.
Could stay and grind out countless more titles with relative ease but I feel I've achieved my goal of restoring Rangers back to the summit of Scottish football.
Not sure what I'll attempt next save wise, been thinking about countries like Italy and Portugal but we shall see...

Damn, I have no idea what it could be then, I've had it before, but it was because of a bum skin.Nope
Selke just freaking murdered Dortmund, in their own home!
I was trying to phase him out as Eggestein develops, why? I have no idea....
I'm also upping the German count in the squad, Zivkovic is joining Man Utd in January, for 47.5m, and I've unsettled & tapped up all of Goretzka(14m), Max Meyer(12.5m), and Sané(24m) at Schalke. I also unsettled the rest of their squad just to be an asshole because they wouldn't sell me a 16 year old I wanted. I'm a proper cnut.
I also unsettled Draxler at Wolfsburg, because Ragnick moved there and he's constantly giving me grief in the media.

After a terribly quiet summer window, by my standards, I decided to make some real moves in January.
We now have a ridiculous quality, mostly German squad. My starting eleven only has two non Germans, and it would be one if Emre Can was a bit better at defending.
Schmelzer is a bit of a departure from my usual type of signing, being 29/30, but he's one of the best German LB's, and has all the right attributes to not decline early.
Eggestein seems like a bad sell, but in FM16, quality strikers are a dime a dozen(especially regens), I have loads that are or will be homegrown.

Finished second with Leverkusen in the first season. Was 4 points clear with 4 games to go but lost away to relegation threatened Hertha, lost at home to Bayern to a nonexistent penalty in a game I dominated and then Stuttgart scored two goals in last 2 mins to beat me 2-1. feck off.
Won the German cup against Karlshure (surprised they made it to the final) yet we almost fecked that up too. 1-0 win in extra time, they were down to ten men from the 25th minute onwards but my team decided to get outplayed by a bunch of second division players down to ten.
Lost champions league semi finals to Madrid on a penalty shootout too. feck sake.
Made some great transfers though, will update whenever I go past the window deadline. Had to sell Hernandez to Bayern for £30m and Bellarbi was sold to Madrid in January for 45m but replaced him with Gabigol for 12m.

Added on some of the lower levels of the English pyramid, as I've never managed a semi-pro team before.
5 back to back promotions, I've finally got my new local village team, Shepton Mallet, into the Football League, from the murky depths of the Western League Premier Division (Level 9).
Smashed the final season in non-league:
Player turnover was insane. Pretty much a new squad every season. Chairman just sells everyone who gets bid on. I've got a solid squad of young 'uns who should be capable of giving League Two a good run, so long as they don't get sold. I even got to the 6th Round of the FA Cup, scraped a backs-to-the-wall draw at home to Leicester, with 21% possession in the mother of all bus parking. Unsurprising 4-0 defeat in the replay. Highlight of the season. If it was an option in the game, I'd have taken the lads out for pizza. It should be an option.
I'm giving myself 5 years to qualify for the Champions League. Doable. 3 promotions, 1 season to stabilise in the Premier League, then launch towards the top 4 in the 5th season.
Come on you 'ammers!
I don't know if they're called the Hammers. They should be. Because mallet.

So after losing 5-1 after extra time in the Champions League final, the post-match tunnel interviewer thing asked me if I felt unlucky to lose considering it was a close game. Are they joking?
Think we should also be allowed to give players club bans and larger fines if they get sent off in important games like Champions League finals.

I hate when I lose a game and a question I get asked is how we score in most games. What does that matter if I just lost
The interviews get boring after three or four when it's the same questions over and over.

Then I played against Dortmund where apparently it was a close game where Dortmund took their chances but I lost 5-1.
FM lords, which team should I start a new game with? I will start the game in the summer of 2017. It's tempting to take over a newly promoted PL side, but teams like West Ham or Crystal Palace sound like fun teams to manage.
All I really care about is having as much £ as possible, with a team having as low as possible reputation.
And also, how often is Aston Villa bought by sugar daddies?

If it's rich but low rep you're after, perhaps one of the more wealthy Championship sides would be a better bet?
Yeah, sounds good. I'll try that.
Been tearing away with Leipzig, about done tbh, had way too many strikers and bored of 4-4-1-1, I switched to 3-4-1-2 with attacking wingers. It's insane, we're absolutely bollocking teams. We've 37 goals scored in the CL by the quarter final, the U19's have 100 goals in 20 games with it.
