7 games in as Fulham, top of the league. Never ever happens.

Played Wolves, Dembele gets injured, out for 5 months.

Fuck that.

I signed him for Spurs just so I could sing theres only two Moussa Dembele's

[The Lusophone]

Darmian out for 9 months with a viral infection :/ Need to sign a new right back short term, only one I can think is Danny Simpson >_>

[Baddar]

Martin Montoya. 

My tab suggested I said Martin "Montana" who is presumably a grandson of Tony.

[The Lusophone]

Ended up with Silvan Widmer. Good room to grow and will be competition for Darmian when he's back.

Got bored with Spurs so I decided to start up as Orient with the new transfers. Start of the season I have about 8 players injured, most of them key players. Stupid game.

[The Lusophone]

Just abuse the loan system massively >_>

[Meacon Keaton]

I can't ever get a club to loan me a player that's worth a shit. But as soon as my U-18's side starts playing well, er'body and dey mommas comes asking for me to loan them.

[MDK]

Half my starting line up is loanees 

[MDK]

Dunno how I've done it but I'm top of League Two after 25 games, only conceded 12, scored 33, only lost 2 and currently 17 games unbeaten. This without my two star players (Cox and Simpson), a leftback and at one point only 1 keeper.

Haven't played FM in a while and almost bought '16 this weekend. Decided against it after looking at my FM15 saved games. Still got my Everton one going and just finished off my 4th season with a PL, CL and FA Cup treble.

Four titles in four seasons now, so I was hoping to move on,  especially as the Bayern and Barca jobs just came up. Bayern offered me an interview but went for, out of football for a year after failing at Arsenal, Jurgen Klopp. Barca are 'flattered' by my interest, so I fully expect them to hire Brendan Rodgers shortly.

Looks like I may have to stay another season at Everton and go for 5 in a row, but first there's the World Cup to enjoy with England.

Finally got everything installed; started a game with Spurs and am installing facepacks, kits etc.

Someone tell me what skin to use.

Foreskin.

Oh wait.

The alternate skin that comes with the game is what I use, I find it a bit easier on the eye. I did see some nice ones in the steam workshop. YACS2 (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=617617527) looks nice but I can't get used to anything other than the default ones.

How do you get the best out of a lone striker? I'm struggling to get anyone scoring regularly. Most of my goals come from midfield. Its not like my striker isn't playing well, usually about 6.9, but rarely scoring. Chances are created, but nobody can finish :@

[Benji]

Get a better striker.

I've never had luck with a lone striker in FM unless he's strongly supported by two winged AMs.

In fact, almost all my formations tend to be permutations of a 4-3-3 now I think about it.

I've got a false 9 and two inside forwards up front. The IF's score quite a bit but you'd expect Jay Simpson () to score a few more. Still, nearly won League 2.

[The Lusophone]

The fact that your IFs are scoring just shows your F9 is doing his job, namely dropping off and creating space as defenders come with him. It's not really a goal scoring role.

[MDK]

BUT I WANT HIM TO SCORE

[Benji]

Then make him a poacher :/
