Great work keeping Bristol City up. I noticed in your transfers that the club signed Antony Golec, is he any good? He plays for my hometown club Adelaide Utd.

[ArsenalMetro]

You signed Torres on loan??? What a coup.

[deltablue]

Been very busy I see.

He was signed before I joined, he was a good player last season but did have a few stinkers.

[Barney Butterball]

You signed Torres on loan??? What a coup.

I wish I hadn't now 16 games 2 goals. Thank god I only had to pay 10% of his 175k a week wages.

Shame about the League Cup! Which International team are you hoping to manage?

[Adelaidean]

Shame you turned down the chance to manage Australia, it's not every day such a footballing powerhouse asks you to lead them.

Good luck with whoever you choose to manage though!

I hoping to manage an up coming nation with a few hidden gems. I think I've just a country with one. This player looks a beast.

I don't want to be tired down to a big nation.. Brazil, Spain, England, Italy, France, Germany etc etc. I love the challenge.

I'm flattered to be linked with Arsenal, but I think that's a much to high profile job for me at the moment.

[rancer890]

Too bad you didn't join MLS, although tbf it wasn't a terrible decision to reject San Jose and Portland for a much better job with Sampdoria.

How close are you to winning the Serie A title?

1st season we finished 5th, but it was a mixed bag. Lost 5-0, 6-4 defence is shocking and needs shaping up. On the other hand we won 6-1 so we can score goals.
Napoli are the strongest Italian side so I can't see why we can't challenge them.

That's good, I remember someone was doing China and considering that rule a frustration as China weren't awash with good keepers.

Good luck in the CSL mate. And maybe you might win some league titles and an ACL title while you're there!

Congrats Barney, Whats the plan now?

I love it out here, and the foods good to.

I'm going to have my crack at the Champions League, there's going to be some tough teams in there from South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Japan.

[Barney Butterball]

Gratz Barney, now go win the ACL.

Cheers rancer, still in the cup, 1/4 finals at the moment, but the top 3 sides in China are there aswell.

CSL All-Star Game 2017



A horrible bug in this game has spoilt my save in my eyes, the All-Star team never picked a goalkeeper. I tried to pick a semi weaken team to keep the score down, but it wasn't to be.



I fill dirty to win like this, the worst part was to come next thinking that it's a one off game and it won't matter.
Until this......

[danielgear]

Oh no barney, best thing to do is just forget it and carry on

[rancer890]

I don't this is the first version of FM where the CSL All-Stars never picked a GK....

[Barney Butterball]

Why would that happen though rancer ?, my first goal was after 10 seconds. We took the kick off and my player shot, the keeper wasn't even in goal.

I'm not sure, it could be a bug. The CSL All-Stars aren't the only bugged All-Star team in the game. The MLS All-Stars have the weirdest selections ever, including one player who managed to play 1 game all season with a 5.4 match rating...
