Nobo made a thread for this about 20 years ago but times have changed and its a brand new game. Basically a thread to post screenshots and updates.

Just began a save with Derby, The Premier league is coming.

We should get a network game running again during the football off season. Killed some good time.

Took over Tranmere in November when they were in a relegation battle in the Championship and somehow managed to get them into the race for the play offs, didn't quite manage to make it though



Pretty much impossible for me to actually get any form of play off challenge again I think on such a small budget (100k wage budget for the entire squad), but hopefully if I'm still within a few points come January I'll be able to pull something off. Summer transfer business for the current season:

Finished the 2017 season in the Prem last night with my Burnley team in a very respectable 14th place, more a consolidation year really after I survived by the skin of my teeth the season before after a scrappy relegation battle. Going to look to press on for a top half finish next season hopefully.

Got the job there back in 2014, got MK Dons promoted in my first season there but when we were bottom half way through the first year in the Championship I cut and ran and got the job at Burnley leading them to playoff glory



A big fan of the old school 4-4-2 you can see, though I must point out this was for my game against United away, would not generally have such defensive tactics

I've worked wonders there with my striker James Keene as well, in real life he is jobbing it in the Israeli league and even though my assistant manager only rates him a League 1 player he was joint top scorer in the Prem last season

That squad looks like it'd struggle to get out of league 1 in the real world

That's true actually looking at it my highest valued player is only worth £2.9m apparently

A testament to my great managerial ability I suppose that I have kept them up for two years

I can't seem to be able to take screenshots but I'm in my second season with Arsenal will go for Torquay once I feel like getting stuck in.

Bought Lewandowski, Mandanda, Honda (on a free ) & Kurt Zouma... have only sold Walcott and Diaby

Nearly threw my laptop out the window when my Rotherham team got smashed 4-0 by Halifax town pre-season a few years back. Shame I'm crap at them or I would have given it another go this year.

Probably put Kompany in goal and played Milner up front beside Zabalata.

Can't remember now, just remember starting a new season and straight away it said "City sack manager Michael" or something like that

Ended up going on a run of 9 unbeaten mid way through last season but lost about 7 of my last 10 games and just missed out on the play offs, managed to bring in this legend in the summer.

Had Toni for a couple of seasons in my Burnley team, scored 4 goals in 41 appearances for the club, was not the best way for him to end his career

He has 3 in 9 for me so far, might have to drop him soon, he's hit the bar and post about 20 times though.
