DaveyPoshboy You're going to inspire me to do another ML with posts like that. Hah! Might as well anyway with the forum kinda dead. D:
Near enough every forum is dead around this time.
I want to start a proper ML but I have NeoDragons to play and I got God Of War I and II a couple of weeks back and that's such an immense game.

Speaking of, Acquafresca is the super sub of my old fashion Parma side atm. I might make a post on them one of these days, they are the first ML I actually manage to stick with this year but highly customised a priori.

Finished my second season in 7th place again. Crusaded to a glorious 6-2 win over Blookrows in the last game to pip both Parma and Palermo to the last Europa League spot which was good because being able to use a second XI is helping develop my squad players.
In the league, Gabbiadini is a hero. 40 games and 33 goals or so in all competitions. Just seems to get goals out of nowhere and he notched around 28 in the league to beat Messi (Inter, 27) to Golden Boot. Verdi is a complete boas. Rated 88 on the wings and is unstoppable when he runs. Only 11 goals and 9 assists but he's just everywhere.. essentially the Bale to my Bologna.
In the league I had some disappointing draws and defeats. Had the third worst defensive record conceding over 50 goals all season which is woeful but I'm hoping to counter that by moving Ogbonna inside over Portanova next year.
In the cup, I lost in the first round to Fiorentina which was naff but I made it to the 1/4 finals against Arsenal in the Europa League before they abused me and we lost 5-1 overall.
Players:
Goalkeepers- Curci is bossing it, which sucks because I really want Alisson to do well before Pavarini starts developing like the boas that he is.
Defence: Ogbonna will replace Portanova (retiring shortly) in the centre. Sorensen is out on loan at Ajax, and still yet to make an appearance lol. Shame really because he is probably going to turn out good but he's just not at the level atm. Plus he's quite content at Ajax. Faraoni isn't turning out to be as good as expected and I almost bought De Silvestri from Fiorentina as he's pacier than the former.
Midfield: Taider has returned a changed man, and I've sent Pedro Obiang out on loan to D2 side Torino so that I can build on Taider's already decent looking potential. Krhin is good but I'm not opposed to selling him to be honest. Verdi is frighteningly good and I'll be looking to loan out Thauvin to give Rodriguez and Pasquato some game time.
Forward: Gabbiadini is the man. Diamanti is in his final years I'd imagine and so this might be the season where I bring in Filip Djuricic more. Shifted formation to a AMF/CF frontline rather than SS to compensate for Djuricic' preferred position. Liberopoulos has a funny name and unfortunately for Lone Warrior, Acquafresca probably won't reach last year's number of appearances - 10. He's just not the same
Overall: pretty happy, pretty solid. Good for another few years!
Targets for next season would have to be to crack the top 5. I don't mind only qualifying for the EL so long as we improve position-wise.
1/4 finals of the EL again and the Semi's in the League Cup is a must. We have a good enough squad.
Transfer targets: none really. Only players I'd be buying would be for the sake of it. More interested in getting some good youth players in to continue my legacy and longevity.

beLIEved a fake cheat to unlock Club Boss mode: "You need 10 bilion cash and then you need to win the Champions League while trying to not go any lower from that. after you win,you unlock Club Boss!" in a some site infested with virus, why Club Boss isn't included? Maybe because the PC needs some space for the improvments. So far i'm now managing Liverpool,i gotta bring that club to glory again since it's Arsenal lost in the Wembley Stadium in the 80's (saw that IN A show named "The 80's").
Does anyone else have issues getting attached to a ML? I'm just having that issue now and it's really annoying. I think I'll have to try and find an Italian B team that I'd like to play as, too much Bundesliga lately.
Oh and something great happened in my current BVB one though. I didn't bring up my fav player Gellazca on accident, he ends up being a youth team star somehow (usually shouldn't happen, maybe a bug). Now I have a 17 year old Gellazca who is already 72 overall with Trickster and Mazing Run cards along with a bunch of others. With really high teamwork and tenacity he became the immediate captain.
Most saves I try only last a few games. Two have made it into the third season so far. Restarted my Madrid save since the last is outdated. Probably going to start again with that since I forgot to transfer Casemiro and couldn't buy him. So...nah, don't have any problems.
I'm sure some "Other" players get random regens. Maybe that's what happened?

Well. Win the treble with Roma. Just smashed Spartak 7-0 on opening day. (I have Euro teams in d2, didn't fancy Wolves and such in Serie A)
Some players have already increased as well. Lamela has finally hit 100! Totti has sadly been dropped to the bench since he scored like 2 goals last season. Will give the captaincy to Salih Ucan until Totti's regen comes.
Bought Ogbonna and Varane to tighten up the defence. Santacroce will likely be sold, Burdisso hopefully retire soon. Also got Marrone for depth. Maybe need a versatile striker to replace Sana/Benzia who are mediocre now compared to the rest of the squad.

I'm sure you already know, but Marrone is awesome. He really does control the pace of the game beautifully.
