You have three sessions per day in which you can choose different training activities so you can focus on particular weaknesses to give you a slight boost before a game etc. Can even let the lads loose on a curry night. I tend to find I end up loose the day after curry night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naitch Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 On 31/01/2019 at 11:59, Naitch said: (FM12) Just got sacked from the England job after 13 years following 5 defeats in 7 games, including 2 against Australia in the 2029 Confederations Cup. During that time I won the 2022 and 2026 World Cups, as well as the 2025 Confederations Cup, with my closest taste of success in the Euros being a semi final against eventual winners Holland in 2028. I'd say that the sacking was fair if I hadn't been top of my World Cup qualifying group with 6 wins out of 6 and zero goals conceded. The only real life player still making the squad regularly is Nathaniel Chalobah, with Jack Butland being a 36 year old fringe third choice keeper depending on the club form of my younger choices. None of that really matters as I'm doing the Sir Alex Ferguson Challenge with Norwich, who I only need to win the Premier League with twice more (four more for in-game Fergie) to complete the challenge like for like, plus a few more domestic, European, and international cups along the way. I've won the league 11 years running so I'm not expecting it to be too difficult. Possibly the most interesting thing is that Fulham became the only other top non-Manchester side in the 2020s despite following a similar trajectory to real life in the previous decade. Might still take on another international job and try to get some cheeky revenge on England if an interesting one pops up. UPDATE: Laurent Blanc resigned because could only take England to 3rd place in the 2030 World Cup. I've ended up taking my old job back again after less than a year because it was the first decent international role to pop up again. I had been offered the Turkey role in November but refused because they hadn't qualified. All in all an odd chain of events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good dribbling for a centre back, excellent passing, technique and positioning. Most of the right PPMs as well - Runs with Ball through Centre, Brings ball out of defence, tries to play way out of trouble. He just needs get forward at all times and moves into opposition area and you're set. Set him to a ball playing defender if you're not playing a libero in a 3 man defence.

Not sure I'll be able to convince him to come to Chicago... Guess I will have to retrain some midfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably shouldn’t have hired five of them then. My Fenerbahce team got rid of Valbuena and his £81,000 weekly wage and I just went crazy and hired as much staff as I could.

FLiam Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Funny you post that as a friend sent me a screenshot of the PL page on his save earlier, and I noticed Sergio Busquets was leading the way for yellow cards at Crystal Palace.
