      Signed Lucas Moura for £29mill along with Lewandowski and Vitinho on free's. Trying to sign James Rodriguez now. Sold Sturridge for £19mill, he has been so under rated on the game!

      Sturridge has been phenomenal with me, as with Sterling.

      I think Suarez is hugely underrated in the game

      I know pretty much all of the Barrow U18s lads. Quite depressing considering they're younger than me and I play against them (and beat them) on a regular basis at five-a-side. I should be on the game. :(

      If you were, I promise I would sign you to LFC and give you the number 7 shirt.

      Managed to just scrape 6th place after Arsenal suddenly became pants halfway through the season. Signed Akinfeev and Matuidi on a free and brought in Santon and still have 30 mil to play with so hopefully I can at least get Champions league this time round.

      Might be down to the formation I was playing

      You always have to sign players you know in it! Luckily enough, the Irish players are always very cheap! A few years ago, there was one lad, that friends knew, that was in the Celtic youth team.

      Actually now that I think of it, 2 sisters I know are very good friends with Greg Cunningham, the irish LB who used to be at City, but (struggling I think) to play for Bristol. Was on good money at City too. The younger sister (also a Liverpool fan :)) knows a good few lads playing in League of Ireland, at the Galway clubs & Athlone. One of them had trials at Liverpool alright as a GK, but is now at Shamrock Rovers.

      Changed and started with Palermo after their relegation last year. Should be a fun challenge.

      Lost the League Cup final to United, was 2-1 up after the away leg to Spurs in the Europa League, lost the home after 2 very late goals. Had a 7 point lead in the league, lost to United on goal difference. :(

      Started a game as Stockport in the Skrill North and just came up against the worlds worst goalkeeper. First he fumbles and stands there while my striker runs 30 yards to pick up the ball and score and then he handballs outside the box and didn't bother to get back before we took our free kick allowing my player to head into an empty net.

      With Atletico after one season and finished second! Made the QF of the Champions League and SF of the Spanish Cup, as well.

      Playing a 4-2-1-1-2 with complete wing backs and both my left backs in Insua and Filipe are the two highest rated players in the league, as well as Reinartz who i signed from Germany for 3.5m and now is worth ~8m.

      Hopefully some money to spend and i can offload Villa who is trash, get a keeper in if i can't land Courtois on loan again and bolster my side. Won't make too many changes from this season. Only brought in Reinartz and Alberto Lora who ended up being a star for me.

      Miranda scored 10 goals for me as a centre back, and one behind my top scorer in the league Diego Costa. I've been scoring plenty and it's been from all my players across the pitch which is nice. Shows my system is working out for once.

      Landed some proper exciting youth players, got Oliver and Rodriguez from Atletico B who are potential stars and a good spine to the team. Fingers crossed it keeps going.

      I don't have an issue with conceding anymore, I have a bloody issue with scoring goals, I dominate games 60% possession and get around 20 shots (15 on target) but either win 1-0 or I lose! I tried everything,I even bought Benzema and didn't even work, can't get them to score a goal!

      Here and there but I had one of the best defences in the league and one of the best attacks.

      Had a pretty good window. Brought in Tim Krul for 5m, Jon Obi Mikel for a loan and future 7m fee, Luis Muriel for 13m, Kevin Strootman for 13m but he got injured for 4 months after he signed but before he arrived, and Huyra or something from Brazil for 4m.

      Sold Diego Costa for 28m, Courtois went back to Chelsea, Villa free to Monaco but saving 165k a week.

      Definitely wrong with the game itself mate, I'm experiencing the same problem! checked out forums and everyone is complaining the same! it's ridiculous! I get 20 shots 15 on target and only 1 goal, and the AI they get one key moment and they score a goal.

      The AI just isn't done well. Because with the amount of chances you get sometimes, you'd have to win with very big numbers. So the AI doesn't play as well as it should. To counter that bad AI they just made it harder to score for you and easy to score for the AI, so the results still look realistic and small. It's bullshit. FIFA actually tends to suffer from the same issue.

      I haven't even played a full season with any team yet, I tried a few teams but got bored quickly each time and stopped playing completely now. Think I'm done.

      Nope. Same F***ing story. 16 shots and 3 clear chances for nothing and they go get a penalty and it's 1-0.

      Haha I had an open goal from two feet away and he stands there, waits for a defender to come tackle him and then gives away a foul.

      Yep I agree, got 32 shots 20 on target and I only managed to draw 1-1, when the AI had 4 shots and 4 on target.

      What utter sh*te
