I've been playing this for a while.
I scraped through the 2nd div. playoffs and made the top flight in my 1st season with Ajax.
In my 2nd season now and i've just won the World Champion's Cup and i'm 2nd in the league....3 points behind Real Madrid.
Doing the double would be a massive achievement for me. My team pales in comparison to the rest of the galactico-esque teams in the league....some of whom are paying almost 2M p/w in wages compared to my 800k.

Not a great squad but it has depth and is a young one with plenty of potential risers in there.
I managed to get mega money for Luis Suarez and snaffle Torres, Babel & Santon off a mate who was quitting the league. Torres came to me with a broken shoulder and missed the first 15 or so games of the season....but Huntelaar has been class.
I use Sulejmani as a winger in the '4-3-3 wingers' formation and he is banging goals in for me. He's had two hatricks this season. Chicharito plays my cup games most of the time and does well....he scored a brace in my 5-0 smashing of Spurs in the cup final.
As far as the game itself goes, the match engine can be terrible at times. I have had my fully fit first squad beaten by an inferior team with 5 or 6 players that were 'not match fit'. Two of the players were less than 40% fitness FFS!
Good web-based game i guess, but no FM.
