I'm currently Atletico Madrid and exceeding expectations tremendously.
4 points clear at the top, and its the end of January. I beat Madrid 1-0 at the Calderon, biggest game of the season could quite well be at the Bernabau.

If I win the league, despite only saying I would try for continental finishes, is amazing to be honest.

Maxi has been great all season very consistant. Forlan was a god before his 3 month injury, and since coming back has only scored 3 in 7 or something, despite having more goals than games pre injury.

Aguero was voted as European player of the year, but like Forlan, got hit with a 2 month injury, should be back within a few weeks.

Luis Garcia and Reyes are tremendous impact players, and my 2.4M signing Lukasz Gargula, has been a rock in the holding midfeild role.

However, Simao and Motta have been garbage, loking to get rid of Simao next summer, not been impressing me at all. Which is a shame, hes one of my favourite players.

I signed Iago from Barca for 2.4M over 3 years, a good young player, going to try loan him out for a season or two. Get him some experience.

Overall, a tremendous season, beating Ruben 9-0 in my UEFA Cup group was brilliant, qualified and drew Heerenven(SP?), could be a tough game.


EDIT






Won the league with 2 games to go, went the whole league season unbeaten, then ironically lost my last 2 games of the season, 2-0 at home to Getafe and 4-2 at Barcelona.

Beat Spurs 4-1 in the UEFA Cup final, Luis Garcia came off the bench to score a hat-trick. What a hero.

Signed Garay from relegated Racing, for just over 9m, Simao and Motta are definitely on their way out.

I've been offered Javier Saviola for 1.5m, however I dont know if I even want him, he'd only be backup, and I have Braulio and Reyes for that.

Maxi wants a move to Barca, might have to let him go sadly.

Looking for a quality left midfield player, though Garcia is definitely good on the left, I want someone who can call that side his own.

Never knew there was a play-off in England, if you are level on points.

I'm playing an England, Italy and Spain game - and Arsenal finished third, with liverpool level on points in fourth. However, they have to play a play-off to determine who finishes third.

Niether did I...

If points are equal, the goal difference and then goals scored determine the winner. If still equal, teams are deemed to occupy the same position. If there is a tie for the championship, for relegation, or for qualification to other competitions, a play-off match at a neutral venue decides rank.

I thought head-to-head would of come after soals scored.

It happened to Arsenal and Man U on my last game.

They were level on wins, draws, loses, points, goals scored, goals conceded and goal difference. :huh:

I honestly cannot believe how good Fernando Torres is on this game as a lone striker in a 4-2-3-1 formation. If you don't have him in your team I suggest that you put a bid for him and I will give you the tried and tested tactics that has won me numerous cups. After scoring an impressive 71 goals in 66 appearances last season he followed that up by getting an amazing 81 goals in just 61 appearances aswell as winning about every award available such as the premier league golden boot, european golden boot, european player of the year etc.

Yer there's a great site I use for all my FM add ons. http://www.sortitoutsi.net/Theres also a few other sites which have graphics such as FM Underground and FM Portal if you have any problems installing graphics just let me know.

Bought Ramsey for a reasonable £5.5M and Miguel Torres for £7.25M

I'm currently playing as Clube Desportivo Cova de Piedade.

Run some random leagues you know nothing about and start at a random club in the bottom division. Only then can you truly appreciate FM.

Has anyone ever had a 20 goals a season center half?

As soon as i signed Van Der Vaart, Cuellar was scoring from just about every corner we got.:cool:

Yeah it's a bug in 8.0.2 patch where at corners you direct a player with high jumping and heading to "Challenge GK" he will score tons.

Thinking of starting in Russia for the craic. Never done it before and it could be a bit unique. I fancy a new game at somewhere pretty biggish but I'll start midway through the season and take over at an underachiever I think.

EDIT: Zenit are 9th, yet predicted 4th. I think I'll have them.

Just got the game about last week and didn't really get into it. I have 3 saved datas. 1st with Rangers and didn't start well. Second is with Hamburg. Played as Hamburg quite a bit longer than I did with Rangers but probably doing worse with them. My 3rd save I decided to go Barca. Don't usually go a big team and if I do I usually don't continue the game past the first Champions League game.

Sergey Ignashevich (CSKA Moscow) - Free
Andrey Arshavin (Zenit Saint Petersburg) - £6.5M
Antonio Lopez (Atletico Madrid) - £16M + Clauses
Rafael van der Vaart (Hamburg) - £15M
Ricardo Quaresma (Porto) - £9M + Clauses

Quaresma was quite hard to get since I spent most of my transfer funds and Porto weren't going for anything for less than £10M so I had to cut the wage budget to get him. So far after 11 league games I have won all 11 including a 5-3 victory opener over Valencia, 2-1 over Atletico Madrid (Who are 2nd in the league) and a 2-1 over Real Madrid. 8 points clear from second with a game in hand. I have Lyon, CSKA Moscow and Levski Sofia in the Champions League. So far played 4 games with CSKA Moscow pulling off a victory against me which has been the only game I haven't won in any competition.

Only problem I have is Rafael van der Vaart isn't quite playing to his potential - especially for the amount I payed for him. Arshavin has been brilliant. Was recommended to sign him as a last resort but he has been a fan favourite. Quaresma has been alright. Leo Messi has been surprisingly average but Henry and Eto'o have been brilliant in front of goal.

I think I'm enjoying life in Spain. :)
