Smashing the league at the minute, I went out in the FA Cup to Watford which was a bit shit. Currently lined up with...

----------------Sturridge
Ibe-------------------------------Barbosa
---------Henderson--Alli
-----------------Can
Moreno--Sakho---Gomez---Clyne
-----------------Mignolet

Ibe, Origi, Illori, Can, Alli and Gomez are coming through like trains, quality players to have. Passlack, the young Dortmund right back is a monster too.

Cost me £8mil.

Moussa Sissoko was ridiculously good for me, practically won me the title on his own first season. Cashed in on him last summer when he hit 29 years old. I've just been gradually buying up cheap wonderkids as I go, loaning them out til they get good and making huge profits on the cast offs. Got about 25 young players out on loan atm. 5 seasons in, 4 league titles, 1 F.A Cup, 3 League Cups and just recently beat Bayern on pens to win my first CL after losing out to PSG on pens in last seasons final. My team is worth loads now...

Zivkovic my favourite signing at £1mil.

Can't get into any saves, anyone got any suggestions for a challenge for me? Preferably in England, lower leagues.

Wait a season see who gets promoted to BSN/S and take your pick of them to manage, preferably the worst/smallest/poorest one.

More of a challenge, a side that I won't get frustrated at losing most games because I'll have an excuse ;)

Torquay.

No money, shit squad. Expected mid table when in reality your team is absolute guff. I tried it when the game first came out and got sacked within two months.

Chris Hughton is a giant prick! Been waiting for Hendrick to come back from injury for like 2 months and literally as soon as he starts training again Hughton chucks him in a friendly resulting in him being injured for 3 more weeks.

And after being predicted to finish bottom and sitting in mid table for most of the season, we snuck into the play offs on the final day of the season, jumping from 8th to 4th we first played 3rd placed Wealdstone, we won 2-1 at home and away for a 4-2 victory on aggregate. 2nd placed Margate won their tie against Chelmsford to set up the final in Margate. Went there, and won 2-1 holding on for our dear lives after 3 defeats by these fuckers over the season (knocked us out of the FA Trophy too), but somehow I've pulled off promotion. Fuck knows what I'm going to do in the conference now. :lol:

I'm managing HK in the Icelandic 2nd Division, i'm not buying any players and just relying on promoting youth players.

Picked HK because of their good youth setup (by Icelandic standards), finished 4th in my first season and have got a few decent prospects in my recent intake of youth players. Hoping to have a good 4 or 5 of them playing regularly by next season, even if it means moving on some decent senior players.

After being so successful with Deportes Temuco in FM 15, I decided to start with another South American team. This time in the Paraguayan second tier with Sportivo Trinidense.

Took me about 8-12 hours gaming time, but I don't have replays or highlights on, and loaded only England (I think I have Spain, Germany and Italy on view-only)... But then my laptop is a bit shit too.

EDIT: And now I realise I'm an idiot and you were asking how long the initial one took.... About an hour or two. But again.. Shit laptop.

I think I'm going to experience my first ever relegation on an FM game, if I can keep hold of my job that long anyway...

Just after this, Cheltenham offered me the job there, sorry Truro, but shit finances, and an inability to sign anyone good enough for the Conference South, let alone the Conference dictates that I must bid you adieu. :wave:

Finished my first season with Trinidense in 12th. Awful start for me, but I put that down to a couple of bad runs we've had throughout the season. Too inconsistent, but I think we can pull it off next season. We have a squad fully capable of doing it.

Instead of skipping a season, I've started in the Conference North with a newly promoted team. FC United in fact. Judging by my first friendly, this is going to be very fun...

Disappointing end to the season. We we're definite contenders after going on a win streak, but then we went on a lose streak shortly after and that pretty much costed us. At least I was able to survive the ultimatum I received. Job status is stable now.

Something frustrating is that I still have no scouts, and I can't hire any because the maximum I can offer is 85, and they all want over 130 so they always decline. I tried speaking to my boardroom about increasing the scout wages and they said no. Pissed me off. Signing players is a guessing game now.

Tried offering them bonuses and yearly wage rises of about 50%? Usually works for me.
