      Yeah my top assister is my RB. Overlapping full backs seem very effective from what I've experienced.

      Just into January of my first season with Leeds. Sitting pretty in 3rd, got the best defence in the league by far, though that's partly down to my defensive 4-1-4-1 formation. Fans aren't too excited but they will be if we get promoted :)

      I'm enjoying setting up to be hard to beat atm, but ive also trained a 4-2-3-1 (wide) for when I need to be a bit more controlling and attacking.

      Question for y'all, how much did Zivkovic cost you (and when?). Got 1.2m in January but I don't think he wants to join.

      The winger Zivkovic or striker Zivkovic? The striker cost me 5m up front and about 1.5m in add ons. If you do end up signing him then make sure you put a high release clause in his contract of 65m+.

      Villarreal paid less than £1m on my game for him in Jan 2016.

      Indeed! FBs have become increasingly important in the past two or three versions of the game, and a good attacking fullback overlapping can have great impact in any team.

      Take a look at Jorge from Flamengo if you have the money. Young and talented LB who becomes a beast.

      I approached to sign Andrija Zivkovic on a free and then took the option to buy him early for like £600k in my Liverpool save in the first season.

      Agree on the fullbacks. Not really in my Swindon team but Clyne is like cheating on this game.

      Managed to get Swindon back up to second and a chance of winning the Championship but lost my 17 year old striker that's scored 32 goals this season for 6 weeks at least :(

      Cheaper alternative (not sure how much) is Sam Byram at Leeds. Hes doing brilliantly for me and is comfortably my top rated player.

      I've offered Andrija Zivkovic a deal, hope he goes for it but not too confident.

      I'm ahead of schedule atm if I get promoted this year I think I'll be coming straight back down!

      I was looking for this guy for ages, heard good things about him. I kept coming across a guy who played for Flemish, turns out I think that's Flamengo on my game :D

      Embolo hasn't fully settled yet so the midfielders are currently making up for there being no Zivkovic. I'm currently 5th in the league, 3 points behind 4th with a game in hand. I just lost my first league game in the last 12.

      Back in the Premier League.

      Started in League One and got back to back titles but then went straight down in my first season in the PL. Back there now and hoping to stay there!

      That's some going mate. Have you been given a decent budget? Somehow I got £30m after winning in the play-off final a couple of seasons ago.

      They keep throwing money at me :D Past two seasons (first season of promotion and then relegation) i was given like £50m+ each time. Even halfway through the season the board approached me and said "We think we should give you more money. What do you think?" :D

      Plus upgrading the training facilities and got a stadium upgrade.

      They're crazy on this game aren't they :D I got given 55m at the start of this season which could be extended to 65m.

      Yes, that's Flamengo.
      They changed it to Flemish last month when the club apparently charged FM for trademark rights or something like that.
      Instead of paying anything, FM simply changed the name of the club to Flemish and its colours from red and black to blue and yellow.
      Very embarrassing.

      I spoke too soon :( Only got around £20m this season to build the squad. Spent pretty much all of it on the goalkeeper Anthony Lopes and Joe Gomez. The rest were cheap transfers on players I'm gambling on.

      Lost 4 F***ing games on the F***ing trot as soon as I hit the top of the table. In 3rd now.
      Board gave me no extra money for January, first time I've seen that. #FSGout :P

      Zivkovic left in the January window yet he's finished as 2nd goal scorer (with 21 goals), 1 behind Costa and 3 above Ayoze Perez :D He's barely played at Dortmund though which is stupid, what a waste of 50m for Dortmund.

      I've managed to finish in 5th. I needed Chelsea to drop points in the 2nd to last game to have a chance of 4th but they won 5-1.

      Can I just ask, what is Ojo like on everybody else's games? I've had him on loan for 2 seasons and he's developed into a sick player. He's got 6 goals and 12 assists in the league for me this season from 28 games. I wanted to buy him in the Jan window but my budget went on a striker, I'll be paying whatever I can to get him in the summer.

      I play him left mid, he's constantly bombing past people. He's just the Huddersfield young player and player of the season. Somehow Ilori was voted as my signing of the season despite him only playing 10 league games :D

      Just been given my initial budget for next season - £51m. Might get more when it comes to the season expectations.

      I've just played my 2nd pre-season game, made all my signings (Matty Ryan, Ilori, Chambers, Jorge, Tielemans, Asensio and Batshuayi) and then I get offered an interview for the Liverpool job after Joachim Low left for Man City. During the interview they asked if a transfer budget of 155m would be enough :lmao:

      Not sure they'll offer me the job though and if they did I'm genuinely not sure I'll take it.
