Just found a pretty decent ST on my Blackpool save called K. Ojo. He has 92 strength, is 6" 4 and is 22 or 23. Cost me 6.5 mill in the January transfer window and 30k wages. Hes worth it, scored and got an assist on his debut and just scored a hat-trick against Birmingham to put me in the Quarters of the FA Cup

Sim every game?

Into my third season with Bristol City. First season we finished a poor 17th with Wet Spam absolutely smashing the Championship apart with 110 points! Lucky enough my late winning streak kept me in the job. Stand out players for me that season were:

Jon Taylor - Loaned from Shrewsbury Town with a choice to buy (which i did)

Augustien - Dutch CM bought from Swansea and was a rock playing as a CDM all season long

David James - Decided not to retire after the end of the season! thank god as he had a cracking season :APPLAUD:

Albert Adomah - This guy was truly special for me keeping me in some games single footedly! Played as a CAM for some time as well. :WORSHIP:

Theo Robinson - Brought him in from Derby to add a bit of pace upfront. Grabbed 7 goals in 5 games and then per usual goes and gets a 3 month injury. :RANT:


Second season started much brighter with a massive 10 game unbeaten run which ended abruptly with an away loss to Blackburn who's top scorer Odemwingie scored all 4 goals :CONFUSE:

The season ended with a huge dip in form that left us in 10th position, 4 points off the promotion places. Odemwingie ended up being the league's top scorer with a healthy 24 goal return.

I managed to bring in some great players who i thought could really help with our push fro promotion in the coming campaign's:

Jannick Vestergaard - This young lad at 6ft 5 is an absolute lump at the back and he had a good season with a nice 5 goal return.

Daniel Majstorovic - Another lump at the back but with an experienced head on his shoulders. He slowly became my captain with some inspiring performances.

Shittu - Do not let his name cloud your judgement. A steal on a free from QPR, great in the air and can still run at his tender age of around 32! Another player with experience!

Giefer - Young keeper from Leverkusen, Slowly getting to grips with english football and has increased his overall by 3 in 2 season's! now 70 OVERALL. Was a bargain at 900k and is only 22 years old.

James McArthur - Perhap's one of the best technical players i have ever bought on fifa 12. Bought this lad from Wigan for 1 mil and he has formed a great partnership with Augustien in the centre of the park. He can pass, tackle and shoot as well as any player on my team and he adds so much quality to my play. At the tender age of 25 now he really is looking at becoming a great player. Already had offers from Everton and Stoke for 3 mil which i hastily turned down.

Rogne - Potentially my most exciting prospect of my defence. Was bought from Celtic at the age of 19 for a large amount considering his age and experience of 3 mil. Can play as RB/LB but primarily is a CB. However i really rate him as a tough tackling fullback. He has risen 4 overall in just one season to 71 and i can't wait to see him develop into a fully accomplished fullback.

Fraser Fyvie - My West Country Paul Scholes! Bought him for 2 mil from Aberdeen and stuck him in as my CAM. (not his natural position of CM) Small like scholes but his vision and work rate are second to none. Especially in this division! At times he bosses the opposition's defence by making himself seemingly impossible to tackle. Very excited to see him perform and grow in his role.

Sean Murray/Gael Bigirimana - Two young players i bought from Watford and Coventry. Loaned them out to Aldershot and MK Don's respectedly and they both grew slightly. Not sure if i like the way bigirimana plays but i feel Murray will add something to the squad. He already reminds me of Fraser Fyvie who is only 3 years older than him.


Now in my third season after 5 games i am currently in 8th position with a healthy 2 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses's. However West Brom knocked me out of the second round of the league cup. The highlight so far was a highly anticipated first round leg at home to the GAS (bristol rovers). A great game where we fell behind to a Mustapha Carayol goal just before half time, but the lads came out in the second half all gun's blazing! And we scored two goals in quick succession and won the game. The board after a succesful season last year were eager to sign me up for another year and have requested a high league finish and to reach a decent cup level in either the league cup or F.A cup!

I had to sell Albert Adomah who was my best overall player in the squad and also the last surviving original city player as he felt his time was up at the club which i quietly felt positive about as it freed up some wages and space in the squad. A quickfire sale to Hoffenheim for 4.6 mil instead of his 2.2 mil valuation was a great piece of work! And i quickly put that money to good use.

Sam Baldock - Wet Spam who were now a mid table premier league team were eager to offload him so they settled for a cut price of 1.1 mil for Sam which i was very happy with. He teared it up in pre season and so far in 5 games he has 4 goals!

Florian Kainz - A young replacement for Adomah on the RW from Sturm Graz. Another good piece of work at a price of 2 mil instead of 2.5! But so far he has proven in effective but at an overall of 70 at his age of 21 I can see a bright future for him with a 5 year deal

Leonardo Bittencourt - A young promising centre midfielder to hopefully add a bit of security if McArthur is prised away by the big boys come christmas and summer. Tender age of 20 and an overall of 68 can only add some much needed stability and insurance to an already established midfield setup. So far he has played average but another lad i have faith in.

Darren Maatsen - An absolute steal at 200k! SBV Excelsior didn't play him so after he absolutely tore my full backs apart in pre-season i looked into buying him. Speed of 91, Acceleration 92, Agility 89 and a Speedster icon makes up for his 65 overall! This guy can really run and even at his height of 6ft 1 really adds so much for me on the LW!! Look him up! :SMUG:

I sold Damiao for 66 million and Witsel for 33.5 million.

Can anyone give me any ideas of who to sign for Sampdoria?

How come when I sim my games I always lose ? Can any one explain to me how it works ? So even if I'm Barcelona will I still lose against some crap team ?

Does the difficulty effect it ?

Good update, you've brought in some good players who should get you into the play offs atleast. Bittencourt is a great signing, had in for my FC Basel team and had a overall of 77 in my sixth season. Have a look at these players who you can pick up for pretty decent prices.

R. Boakye F, M. Johansson RB, R. Chara CB, P. Camara CDM/CB. All develop into high 70's.
