    So everybody had the same problem with Lukaku? the only thing I can think of is that he is so young that he may develop after he turns 20 or something...:idk: like somebody else said he plays like he is 80+ so it really doesnt matter that much if you plan on keeping him around like I do.

    So I finished my 2nd season with Leeds and won Europa League, EPL, FA and Carling Cup, and got a nice bonus in transfer money that I put to good use. Bought:

    Jozy Altidore
    Matias Fernandez
    Lewis Holtby (plays for Mainz and has lots of potential 21 yr old 74 ovrl when I bought him)

    and also added a couple of loans to fortify my defense.

    Now my attack is Holtby as LM, Snodgrass as RM, Fernandez at CAM, Lukaku and Altidore as strikers. Beastly. So I was feeling all :smug: going into the Community Shield game and Man City jumped to a 2-0 lead. Altidore went insane and scored a hat trick and Holtby added one to beat them.

    I really hope that they actually get a boost in rating though unlike Lukaku that is stuck at 74. Also almost had Pastore but they wanted too much for him.

    I have tried to play with Lukaku a couple of times and just can not never get him into the flow of my style.


    I have realized that Gareth Barry might be the most useless player on this game. He can not pass, shot, defending, and generally likes to get in the way of any type of counter attack. I am going to sell him in the winter window and try for Jack Rodwell or Fellaini.

    I just want to win the Champions League with Leeds because in FIFA 10 after 3 seasons (had to start from League One) and finally qualifying by winning the EPL, the game would not let me advance anymore. I was so mad cuz I had a dirty squad by then.

    Anyway I gotta play Real Madrid for the Copa Europe (like the Supercup) since I won the Europa League and they won the Champions. Kinda scared.

    Started one with West Ham and currently in my 2nd year. Bought Neymar, Alexis Sanchez, and Soloman Kalou. Won FA Cup and finished 5th 1st year. But with my new additions I think I have a good shot winning the league and Europa this year.

    Just started my 2013-2014 season with Inter. I wanted to leave for the EPL after last season, but my only offers came from Milan, Juve and two mid table teams in Germany and Spain. Anyways my current lineup and squad:

    Hart
    Maicon Ranocchia Caldirola Santon
    Zanetti Cambiasso
    Sneijder Coutinho
    Eto'o Bendtner

    SUBS:
    LB Antonelli
    CB Bendetti
    RW Biabiany
    CM Mariga
    LM Bale
    ST Milito
    DM Rodwell
    RW Wijnaldum
    GK Cesar
    DM Nwankwo
    CM Motta

    Bale should be start at DM over Zanetti, because Zanetti has dropped to 80 overall, but I don't have it in me to bench him.

    Did they fix the rating system? I would sign players and they would lose 3 points for no reason. I know Mikel gets like 5 points worse his first season for Chelsea for no reason. Seemed to be every CDM and CB/RB/LB would lose rating points when you signed them.

    how much do you guys play and sim.

    I am in my 3rd season with Leeds and have probably simmed like 5 games and that was league games at the end of the season when i already had won it. I wish there was an easy way to modify the squad prior to simming because I would do it more. Also there should be a way to save different squads within your team like a B squad, fast wingers, etc. Would make it much easier.

    No kidding. I usually only sim while I'm working the transfer market at the beginning of the year and as soon as cup and league play start, I stop simming. I might sim if I've already won the league though.

    who here is in their longest career? I am in Year 3 with Leeds United. Currently 13 points clear the top of the EPL, won the Carling Cup (lol Arsenal), in the UCL quarters and in the FA quarters. Got 2.8 mill for advancing in the first knockout stage of the UCL so I expect big money if I win it.

    I am starting over on my Manager's mode. I want to see if I can turn a little known side from a non traditional powerhouse country into a powerhouse.

    I am starting with Viking FK from Norway. First mission is to sign John Carew.

    OKay the fuck is going on here. I just started a new season and went to try and sign some free agents since the owners are cheap as shit only gave 2m pounds for transfers. I have a guy who is 99 overall and an 18 year who is 84 overall.

    Finished my 3rd year by beating Barca 1-0 in the UCL. Only got 8 mill for winning it though. With around 30 mill to spend in the transfer window I was able to get:

    Arturo Vidal 80 ovr CDM
    Holger Badstuber 77 ovr CB
    Cesar Azpilicueta 76 ovr LB

    Phillipe Coutinho loan
    Franco Di Santo loan
    2 more loans to add defensive depth
