  1. Great stuff. 

    I also started a malaga save and had to sell Robert Fernández as I got a £5m offer for him in Jan. 

    In my first summer, I also managed to get Yamal on a completely free loan from barca, and also Fermin Lopez on a loan for like 1.5k a week! They're pushing me up atm and I'm 8 points clear after 20 games (was 14 points clear but been having a few poor games recently)

  2. I've started a Real Betis save this year. They are sort of my Spanish team (partner from seville and have been to their stadium a couple of times!), but felt they were a bit uninspired with an older squad the last couple of seasons.

    This season looks like a fun one, with Fekir and Isco together, and old guard Bellerin and Bartra back. Also a new wonderkid who's excelling in real life in Assane Diao. 

    I'm also possibly planning a malaga rebuild save at some point. Checked their squad briefly and from the player valuations, it looks like they'll be quite strong for the third division and seem to have a lot of promising youth!

  3. Started a save with Roma and spent quite some time sorting out the tactics, youth teams, transfers etc. Before moving forward ans suddenly finding out Dybala has a £10m release clause which the Saudis activated instantly, and he moved :(

    Had to quit the save after that, as there's no way I'm planning on losing my best player for £10m. 

    Just wondering if I restart, if it's possible to get him to agree to a new contract without a release clause. Only issue is as soon as Saudis show interest, he says you can't offer the financial muscle that he wants (Saudis gave him £800k p/w on this save!)

    There's been hardly any SI staff teasing, and I'm convinced at this point Zachary just has tabs open to troll us 

    Yeah it's whats making me think the worst atm. 

    Because surely with the reception over the last couple of days, if they had set it to release later today, they'd all be on here giving hints and stirring up some hype? 

    They might keep quiet if they know its not coming out as they don't want to give the mods another hard clean up job.

    Further to Lollujo's tweet, he also tweeted this...

    So, they all knew it wasn't going to be yesterday or sooner, so clearly the devs also knew. What was wrong with someone from SI informing all of us about this instead of the endless days of speculation and annoyance on here? Poor, poor show. 

    Hype, pretty much. 

    We had over 100 members on this thread throughout the day, although it seems to have backfired and turned into negative attention now!

    I do agree, Neil Brocks "Today is not that day" was quite useful in previous editions. 

  6. I have saves with teams in each of the top leagues + Holland and Belgium.

    I feel like playing with different teams on different days. Sometimes I'll want a team where I'm challenging in Europe, or sometimes I feel like a lower division team, or strong youth etc.

    But I'll only ever be invested in 1 or 2 of those saves. For example, I recently finished first season with Leverkusen, then had a break from it and did Middlesbrough. 

    Now I'm looking for one of my other saves to hook me in...

    Both teams are fun options, I'm more a Benfica-fan than Leverkusen, so I would prefer them!

    I myself, am starting with my favorite club: RSC Anderlecht! In real life they're doing aweful so they deserve better!

    Did you kick off with Anderlecht? I really love the idea of the team, the potential the kids have, and bringing them back to the top, but the team is honestly hopeless. 

    I've tried doing both vertical tiki taka and gegenpressing, 4-3-3, 3-5-2 etc. And I can't get the players to score, and they keep leaving huge gaps in defence. 

    It's left me with 7 points in 9 games, in the relegation zone, and I'm rather going to get sacked or lose interest at this rate!

    I'm very much in doubt as to where to start my Glory Hunter-save.. 

    Lens, Lyon, Marseille, Monaco, Nantes, Nice, Rennes, Reims or Toulouse..

    I think Lyon are the most interesting. 

    No European competition first season, a loaded bank balance, re-signing of former stars Lacazette and Tolisso, and desperately need a return back to the top...

    As was to be expected .. Jamie Bynoe-Gittens looks brilliant too .. Sancho 2.0 at Dortmund

    Dortmund seem full of amazing prospects. Duranville, Rothe, Moukoko, and some others that I'm forgetting. 

    Tempted to do a save with them, would just prefer it if they weren't easily 2nd best in bundesliga!

    Tight marking been removed? Why would this be the case? It's now no longer possible to play a man marking system unless via individual instructions

    Was trying to find that yesterday, myself. Thought I was giving too much space to my opponents, because they were having too many touches and space to shoot, so I wanted my players to get tighter, but alas...
