Started a new game as Blackburn, sold off some dead weight + Morten Gamst Pedersen, that along with a couple *slightly cheeky* transfers meant i've currently got a lineup of

Robinson

Emerton

Samba

Ninis
Jenas
Romiric
Hazard

Neymar
Lukaku

Bunn
Cannavaro / Jones
Nelsen
Lallana
Vyntra
Kalinic
MB Diouf


Took over Man Utd in order to sell Samba at the end of the season for 27.5 Million, he was desperate to go, and we agreed the fee but it got cancelled due to transfer budget reasons, and I was desperate to seal the deal. Since Fergie "retired", Phelan took over, and got sacked a couple months later, so McGuinness is now head honcho there.

End of the season sees me brining in Smithies, Sakho, Subotic, Defour, and a couple others, while Emerton, Nelsen and Romiric are all off.


Start of April now, im in 10th and in the FA cup semi, having knocked out Man Utd in Phelan's final game as manager in the 5th round replay. Also beat them once in the league, as well as getting one over Man City and Chelsea, all of those came away from home!

You're lucky you posted that here and not on the official FM forums. You'd be flamed to death for such flagrant cheating. But we'll forgive you. Cheater

Well I'm still on with my FM2010 game. Currently up to the 2019/20 season or to put it another way, my 10th in charge of Bradford.

In that time I've taken the Bantams from Div2 also rans all the way up to English Champions last season.
Along the way I've won the Div2 title, the JPT, the League Cup, and the Community Shield.

Went out of the Champions League this season at the group stage after finishing 3rd behind Real Madrid and Galatasaray.

Current Squad (though I doubt you'll recognise most of them)

GK: Marcel Sauter (Germany)
DR: Ignacio Castano (Spain)
DL: Jimmy John (England)
DC: Kerem Usta (Holland)
DC: Giorgos Skrekas (Greece)
DMC: Andy Simpson (England)
MC: Lori (Brazil)
MC: Freddy Adu (USA)
ST: Kostas Angelis (England)
ST: Levan Mchedlidze (Georgia)
ST: Gianmarco Zigoni (Italy)

That's my main 11, the rest of the 25 man squad tends to rotate most seasons

Freddy Adu

If the kid's career slips any further he might find himself at Bradford in real life...

No, worse than that, City.

If only Freddy Adu was as good in real life as the makers of FM seem to believe he is....

I'm pretty useless at penalties in the game. Lost the World Cup final and the Champions League final on penalties with England and Everton. Just started my 6th season with Everton. Won the Premier League the last 2 seasons, won the Carling Cup the last 2 seasons and made it to the Champ League final last season. Only conceeded 2 goals in opening 11 games in all comps. My youngsters are really starting to do the business now, really dominating teams. 4.5 star training, so fingers crossed 5 star isn't too far away.

Current team:

Martin Coufal

Nedum Onouha
Phil Jones
Jerome Boateng
Leighton Baines

Tom Cairney
Yann M'Vila
Jack Rodwell

Lucas (this lad becomes great at the age of 21. He is unplayable this season so far. 6 goals and 12 assists in 11 games).

Vaclav Kadlec (12 in 11 so far)
Khouma Babacar (6 in 7)
