Wandered out of interest as to who people will choose to manage on FIFA 13?
I personally like a challenge so was pondering going a Championship side, mid table to lower.
Do people do the same or is it purely going to be Stoke for everyone?

Always go for a League 2 side and try and take them on a road to glory. Might go for Rotherham.

I was pondering Blackpool, although would a lower league club be more of a challenge?
Thinking Northampton?

Done 2 so far, playing/simming though, not gonna do a proper one until the game is out. Stoke City: Got 18m to spend. Sold Walters to West Ham, Palacios to Everton and then sent a few youths out on loan. Brought in this Brazilian youngsters at RB, same rating as Wilko but way younger. Brought in Olsson for 4m from Blackburn who is immense. Brought in Sissoko frm Toulouse 4m and Anderson from United for 3m. Pulled off a cracker of a deal by loaning Sterling, and agreeing a 3m fee for him at the end of hsi loan. When I finished his loan, he was worth 8m but Liverpool already agreed 3m ;D Huth handed in a transfer request, and I got 8m offer from Newcastle. I rejected it, then the board accepted 6m from Arsenal, which pissed me off. I had no time bring a CB in. In Jan picked up Tello for 6m and Diakite for 5m Team so far Begovic
Mariano - Shawcross - Diakite - Olsson
Adam - Sissoko - Anderson
Pennant - Jones - Sterling Players grow a fuck load more than last year. Shawcross is now an 82 after 1 year, he was 77 at start, and he's made a few England squads along with Ethers! Begovic is now 79 from 76. Olsson gone from 73-77 Ness 68-73 just by playing cup games Sterling 69-73 Karim Rossi 60-64 he went up 1 by scoring the winner vs Arsenal ;D But on the bad side, players go down a lot if you dont use them. Sorensen 74-70 Delap 70-64 Higgy - 70-67 Upson 74-70 In first season I managed 6th place, knocked Man Utd out the cup but then lost to Liverpool. Pennant managed 9 assists which was 2nd highest in the league! Internationally I got offered the Egypt and Colombia jobs, thought about doing the AFCON but Colombia felt like a more enjoyable team and better qualifying. Quickly dropped anyone over 32 in the team, my best CB Yepes 77 rated I fucked off, he was like 36 ;D They've got so much attacking talent though, I have to play 3 at the back, 1 CDM then RM/CAM/LM/RW/ST/LW ;D 1st game I beat Argentina 3-1, then drew with Uruguay 1-1, then smashed Bolivia 6-0. Took them over in 4th place, now they're 3rd behind Arg/Bra. My target was to qualify and I've already done that. On to WC2014! |

2nd one is with Villareal!
I wanted to try and adopt Bilbao's approach of only signing Spanish Basque players, so I thought I'd only buy U24 Spanish players.
Got 4m to use, so I loaned Tello and Montoya from Barca, loaned some Madrid CB and then loaned Oriol Romeu from Chelsea.
Then I sold Rossi for 14m and De Guzman for 6m which meant I could buy a load of youths.
Bought some young LB in, bought Callejon from Real Madrid for 7.5m.
Tried to get rid off all non-Spanish players but I'm left with Olof Mellberg and an Argentinian ;D

I've created my Virtual Pro and have started a season with Fleetwood Town. It's very challenging but I'm really enjoying it.
I never bother with Ultimate Team that much. I find it very boring, as almost everyone you play against just uses the same set of players that have 90+ pace.
