CFuller Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 It's not beyond the realms of possibility that he could've soared through the leagues with Gillingham and built them up very quickly, hence the signings of Kanté, Rashford and a very experienced Ronaldo. From my experience, the latter usually sticks around until his late 30s, if not his early 40s. Personally, I find it more amusing that Neil Brock outscored Cristiano. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I find it more amusing that Neil Brock outscored Cristiano. @mightypvfc I do have the editor, but I didn't use it for that. @CFuller is spot on with his points. Ronaldo cost me £11m a season or so ago after he wanted to leave Real for a new challenge (much like IRL) though he is 37 now and well past his best years. The bonus is that whilst he still plays, he's also my U23 manager so I've got him set for when he retires. Kanté cost me £21m after I tried to pursue Bakayoko, I was unsettling him, Chelsea offered him a massive contract and had already signed another first choice midfielder. Kanté ended up very unhappy and I picked him up for peanuts. Rashford cost me an arm and a leg and I'm still paying for him now... Neil Brock came through my first (or second I can't remember) intake and is now my second-best striker but given another season or so he'll easily be the best in my squad. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

zlatanera Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 So I've just sold a full back for £112m (Alvaro Odriozola from Real Sociedad to PSG, only 2022 not some 2040s inflation) and decided to take a look into the history of big transfers in my save. Aside from PSG turning a £3m profit on Kylian Mbappé I think this was the most bizarre discovery: He's pretty great, certainly. But not that great, and he hasn't had especially outstanding stats. His reputation is only 1 gold star "Fairly Good", just doesn't make sense. Tianjin haven't made any sales either, they're an inactive league and he's 50% of their spending so far in the save.

In all fairness, it's the media that gave the headline. The comments he made were technically correct. There are 3 points to be won (or lost) over the rest of the season and there's a three-point gap and near identical goal difference. There is every chance that Aston Villa could still take the title.

I've noticed it a few times, actually. It's not the first time I saw a laughably low offer (though never that low), but whenever that happens, the game gets confused. Look that in the clauses section it says they are paying 0 + 0 in two installments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turned out that those greyed out days simply became regular training days and we in effect had a nearly 7 week pre-season instead of a 4 week one.

And when I had the opportunity to register players, my assistant thought the Netherlands would do a lot better than they did, so I was missing most of my best players even though they weren't with their national teams.

I've played Herrera out wide more often than in the middle as he's got the best crossing attribute of the squad. I've played Young as a F9 before too. Only thing different I'd do is replace Valencia with Jones for his better crossing skills....and possibly swap Pogba with Mata. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

north_london_fan Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 (edited) I was just sacked as Hull City boss after rising to eighth in the league, when predicted to finish 19th, after beating M.C.F.C. However a new chairman takes over and gives me the sack. Big Sam's comments make this experience worth it though. My replacement did not do any better.
