Great to see this up and running, massive kudos to @Jogo Bonito! As usual I shall be managing the mighty Peterborough United, looking forward to seeing how everyone else does in the EFL.

Would also love to see a 17 thread! I would make one but I really don't have the time

Are Gold Coast United from Australia in this?

Is there anyway to add the Simulate Match option to it as well?

Finished the season in 11th place, Erhun Oztumer taking both the league's and fans' Player of the Season awards. Then in the offseason a takeover happened. Then I got sacked. Urgh. Time to start another new save! Really enjoyed York so may go again with them.

I'm at York. Doing really well so far, 6th in the league after 24 and I have two games in hand after some postponements. Second-best defence in the league with only 21 conceded - signed Ricardo Santos on loan from Posh and he's a rock.

For those of you in League 2, if you can afford Erhun Oztumer from Posh, do it. I signed him for £16.5k and 16 games into the season he has 9 assists with an average rating of 7.89 and 6 POM awards. He's been absolutely brilliant, wages are at £1k a week but hes worth every penny. Currently got him playing in AMC in a wide diamond formation and he just runs the show every game pretty much.

Merry Christmas to all my fellow Football League FMers!

Realised I wasn't exactly specific there. I've taken a look at York and I'm considering them - especially with Josh Carson (who was an absolute beast for me in FM15 when I signed him for Posh) still there. Will take a look at Barnet and Stevenage also and see how I feel.

I agree, I would much prefer a bit of a long-term thing. Don't get me wrong, it's great getting to the PL within 3 seasons but it just feels so unrealistic. In terms of teams I'm looking at, I don't really know where to begin. I'd like to try and play fast, counter-attacking football and have a team of players that maybe aren't the best technically, but give 110% for 90 minutes. Any ideas?

Thinking of going down to League 2 to be honest. Tried every version to have a decent save with someone in League 2 but it always ends badly, let's give it another go.

So I got promoted to the Premier League with Posh but then my laptop **** itself and I've had to get a new hard drive. Here's to a new start!

Indeed it probably is a tad excessive! I have been using N'Jie on the right side of midfield as well to make sure they're all happy. If there are any upsets in regards to playing time, N'Jie probably will be the first to go - unless I get promoted it's unlikely we'll be able to keep him longer than a season.

Forgot to mention that I also signed one of my real-life favourite FL players - Joe Garner! He's absolutely shot of confidence at the moment but I'm sure once I get him confident again I'll have one of the best attacking forces in the league with Cummings, Washington, Bamford, N'Jie and Garner.

PETERBOROUGH UNITED - END OF SEASON 2016/17 Our first season in the Championship. The aim was to avoid relegation. The final result was a place in the play-offs! Absolutely amazed with the way the team performed. As you can see from the league table, no team scored more goals than us. Unfortunately, not many teams conceded more than us also. Unfortunately, some very silly defensive errors cost us not only an automatic promotion spot, but also the Play-Off Semi-Final against Sheffield Wednesday. Having said that, there were some absolutely huge positives to come out of the season. Jon Taylor continued to impress, winning both the Fans' Player of the Season and the league's Player of the Season awards. Daniel Bentley became our undoubted number one. If it wasn't for our leaky defense, he certainly would've kept a lot more clean sheets. Tommy Rowe and Chris Cohen offered some great versatility. Jason Cummings and Conor Washington continued their fantastic partnership up top, scoring a combined 48 league goals in the season. Jermaine Anderson came on leaps and bounds and is now one of the first names on the teamsheet. League Table - Transfers - Jon Taylor - Jason Cummings - Conor Washington - Jermaine Anderson - Sam McQueen I'm currently three games into the new season and have taken maximum points without conceding against Hull, Nottingham Forest and Bristol City. Have made some absolutely amazing signings so far - Tyias Browning and Liam Shephard have joined on free transfers, Clinton N'Jie joined on loan for the season and Patrick Bamford joined for £3.5m.
