Football Manager 2014

Levante are in European competition

Snuck in to seventh in my second season. Continuing to just try sign some good free players to replace the players I'm releasing/selling as I try remove the players who were good enough in the second division but not good enough for La Liga.

Signing lots of good young players on loan too so I can use my budget to sign one or two very good players but keep the depth I need to compete in all three competitions.

I think I've actually purchased no more than five players since I got promoted and all were 17-21 years old. All the rest were free.

Qualified second in my group and will face Vitesse in the KO's.

Got given 5 more million for the window coming up. Hopefully will find some depth in quality in my wingback positions.

b***ard.

Knocked out by a 85th minute screamer to Napoli. Lost 2-0 at home, was winning 2-0 at the São Paolo and then they score from 25-30 yards out.

Failed to qualify for next seasons euro cup with my seventh place finish. Athletic made the final and finished tenth in the league so they go through.

This window is all about defence. I need a better right back, a quality centre back and a back up left back.

Can't go a week without an injury. Without European football i trimmed my squad a little to help with the financial side of things and focus on quality > quantity.

Down to bare bones now. Struggling to get 4 players on my bench even.

Going to try to get back into this

Signed Isco, the guy is a cracking player! Just scored a hat trick of screamers from distance!

Sold Lewandowski, didn't want to but managed to get £72mill from Madrid for him. Not bad seeing as I got him on a free.

Levante second! Huge season for us. And vital for the income because I would of had to sell my best players without the continental football cash inflow.

Winter transfer update out, had a quick look at our squad and the obvious improvements are to Suarez, Sturridge, Mignolet and Suso. I almost hate myself for saying this but they probably should've reduced Lucas a bit.

Oh and we're predicted to finish 5th instead of 6th now (United still 1st).

When you do an additional comment the game knows if you swear.

January 1 and I'm 2nd with Fiorentina. Having to play with F***ing Mario Gomez who I cannot stand. But he's banging goals and hopefully will sell for a good amount in the summer.

I'm joint top in December with Levante, alongside Barca. But second season in a row I'm out of the CL in the group stages without a chance to qualify after four games. In the Euro Cup again though.

Need a new centre back but there are no absolute quality regens in the game. Got a decent one coming in for £6m but that's it. Had another who I bought for £7.5m when he was 17 and was good enough to start for me instantly but he hasn't developed at all. Still decent though.

Finally got down to playing this after a long hiatus. Last I played was FM12. 

Looks good with a different UI, although a few very irritating bugs(?) in the gameplay.

Anybody up for a network game like before? Crouchinho?

I'd love to mate but I've got too much uni work going on. And all my spare time goes to my current save.

in my 8th season, already won the CL 3 times in a row and 7 league titles

I got bored and switched to DOTA 2 

Don't manage Liverpool then

Atletico job has come up. Was tempted to apply and make up for the bullshit sacking I got earlier in the save. But Levante are better than Atletico and I built them up with a young team. I want to ride this out.

Finished 3rd. About to get to my summer business.

Got a youngster re-gen called Hereza, he's phenomenal. Every Football Manager I get at least 1 fantastic re-gen and this one is up there with the best players on the game and is only 19!!

FFS. 8 July 2014 my game crashes every time.

Tried going on holiday for that date?

Good idea mate, it worked.

Started a new game with Wigan. They have a decent team for the Championship and more money than most rivals, so it shouldn't be difficult to achieve promotion. My main buys were Knockaert from Leicester and Ings from Burnley.

Obiang, Illarramendi in.

Nastastic and Shurrle in on loan.

So far.

Ive just recently started playing the new FM

Had mixed success so far with Liverpool. 3PLs, 1CL, 2 FA cups, 4 League cups.


Suarez is still leading my line at 32. ter Stegen is boss, Luke Shaw is immense, Balanta is a a rock at CB. Wanyama is solid as DM, Draxler is boss playing AML.

Just sold Coutinho to PSG £36M after 6 good seasons. Jerome Sinclair is my backup striker - always gets me goals valued at £23M
