    Started up a new game this past week or so as well, 2024 and won everything bar two cups domestically in the last 5 or 6 years. Happy times.
    Started originally in the hope to properly develop youth and not get caught up in the stupidity of FM and Celtic wages, but it's harder than it looks.
    I am keeping the finances healthy though and building expansions to stadium and constantly improving facilities, the youth intake is pretty poor though this year, got a keeper and a striker I had to sign from elsewhere in Scotland and the only decent two to come out my own intake included a CM who was a * and demanded to move within the first year and a right back I am glad to have as I only have Frimpong.

    Which brings me to the starting squad, Dembele, Hjelde, Ajer, Frimpong, Johnston all becoming star players and some young talent like Trinacao and Maldini who I signed first season. However wages are crazy and some are on 140k a week! Fekir being one of the big signings I had to make.


    Anyway....the good part is, I am now knocking back £90mil bids for Dembele from Liverpool and Chelsea and he's absolutely happy about it.

    Its actually more difficult that i thought it would have been. They dont have a huge amount of cash and also dont allow high wages to be paid. I think the highest wage ive got/can give is £10k a week. They have loads of brilliant youngsters though. Il post some screenshots in an hour of so. Going to play tonight for a bit.

    Here's my first 11.

    Brough this young brazilian keeper in from Salzburg on a pre-contract but bought him for £500k in Jan. Will be priority postion moving forward but i think he will do the now.

    Jonas Svensson is might back and he is solid;

    upload_2020-5-22_16-57-37.png

    My main signing was Rick Van Drongelen. Cost £3.2 million from Hamburg at the start of the season. Is solid enough. Young and dutch which is a positive.

    upload_2020-5-22_16-58-12.png

    Just bought Aly Camara from young boys for £3 million to partner him;

    upload_2020-5-22_16-59-33.png

    Left back is Owen Winjdal who is a beast;

    upload_2020-5-22_17-0-10.png

    Defensive midfield i've got captain fantastic - Tuen Koopmeiners. Top performer.

    upload_2020-5-22_17-1-13.png

    Centre midfielders are actually two youngsters. I was playing Jordy Clasie and Fredrik Midtsjo but i feel that the following two are out performing them;

    Dirk Proper bought from NEC for £1 million;

    upload_2020-5-22_17-3-27.png

    Dani De Wit who looks like he will develop into a beast.

    Is it Manual Ugarte by any chance. I've just brought him in to replace Koopmeiners.

    upload_2020-5-22_18-23-31.png

    Also bought Wuiker Farinez for £2.5 million so thats the goalkeeper position sorted. He's not my top earner by a long way but worth it.

    upload_2020-5-22_18-22-55.png

    Man City sniffing about Baresi now. Just rejected £18 million. Not selling him yet.

    Dominating with Celtic and just can't let go...Keep resigning and taking on new club, then reloading where I left it. Worst was when I left for a whole season with United, as they'd not won the league in ages, but can't gel with any other club.

    Main signings this summer were Reece James and Foden to add an English 'flair' to the squad, ha. I wish there was some Scottish talent coming through. The best two I've had have been poached by Arsenal and City.

    Offt, good going.
    Shows the unrealistic side though of fm when it comes to Scotland
    Same at Celtic able to win European cups after a couple years and giving out £150k contracts is just daft.

    I'm in 2026 and managed to get Scotland to having 2 cl group spots, a qualifier spot and a couple Europa spots. Think 6 clubs in total get in to a European tournament now and have Scotland as 8th best league in the world....again not realistic. But I'm hoping to eventually crack that top five and see what the league can become by 2030.

    What you finding the league rep is like while being United? Are Celtic and the Huns still making a decent impact in Europe?

    Sold Appere first season to kick off the future spending, same with Mochrie.

    Now sold a couple of players for £20m+ so the regens are flying into Dundee at some rate now :giggle1:
