    It's honestly the easiest way to upload screenshots. Once it's installed you simply choose to use Imgur. Then right click on it in the system tray and choose Drag Screenshot, then click and drag your mouse to draw a box around whatever you want to take a screenshot of. It'll upload and automatically copy the link to your clipboard, ready to be pasted onto the forum.

    Sounds great in theory but when I went to install I had a load of stuff checked like ftp and all that guff that I have no idea about so I had to cancel. I'll just stick a shortcut to Imgur in my bookmarks bar.

    Is my game faulty? Am I missing a patch or something?

    Started an FM15 game as Fulham because I was bored. Was going quite well until Chelsea knocked 8 past my full strength side in the capital one cup.

    Never seen anything like it. The majority of the goals came from corners/long throws.

    The injuries in this version are fucking savage. I've just had EIGHT players ruled out in a single week, three with thigh strains.

    I've gone from constant praise about good management of finances to completely ballsing up somewhere. At the end of the season there was a message about my initial transfer budget being c.£40mil, but I made one £9-10mil transfer and lined up another £19-ish million transfer, which it suddenly told me I'd have to delay as I only had £17 million left.

    I've pretty much covered it with a quick firesale of shit from the reserves (which should have happened ages ago anyway) but it's a bit frustrating as I'd hoped to bring in at least one more.

    Started the season without a good goalkeeper. Was playing some bloke called Elliot Justham and he was actually doing okay. Injured for 2 weeks now though and the one I decided would be sub is out for six, so I'm stuck playing this man:

    Well after a lot of wheeling a dealing I'm finally at the first fixture of the season. Hopefully no Europa League means I should power on through this season. Ins and outs are as follows:

    Toggle Spoiler


    I wanted to add some star names but will have to settle for some stars of the future. I came so very close to stealing Rugani which would have been a coup, but Wanyama was for some reason put off by Juventus and the deal fell through. I then looked at Stones but United have spent the best part of £40m on him. I'm still looking for a CB now as I expect Fonte will start to decline this year, but they are in short supply. Benteke was listed at Liverpool and I'd imagine even if he flops I'll make most of that cash back. Other than that they were all promising youngsters, but for Trippier who was brought in to be a back up. He's now 1st choice though thanks to the outs.
    When City come calling my players don't half bitch and moan. They'd made a bid for Cedric of about £5m which I laughed off, so he spat his dummy at not moving. Thankfully we got them to triple their deal. Then comes Wanyama. After the Rugani debacle City came in with a bid for him. I rejected and it was then I noticed he was in his contracts last year. He refused to negotiate so I had to sell him on. The rest is basically deadwood and players who wouldn't get a sniff going forward.

    I may not quite be done either. Both Rodriguez and Clasie want out, with Mané not far behind. I've convinced Clasie to stay one more year to push for Europe. But I may be tempted to cash in on the other 2 if I can bring in about £60m.

    Jay Rodriguez is a fucking monster in this. Had he not been injured for a lot of last season I'd have coasted to top four.

    14 games, 10 goals, 6 assists, 5 man of match awards, and averaging 7.79.

    Roberts & Tielemans are top signings. Benteke on the other hand.

    Patrik Camilo, who signed at Christmas and quickly became my most effective attacking player, is out for the season.

    Hopefully ten months out with a fucked cruciate doesn't kill his development too completely.

    I've just agreed to let Pelle go for €750k to LA Galaxy in February. Between getting away from using a target man, buying Przybylko, and him hitting 33, it was time to move him on despite the 20+ goals last season.

    Are there any repercussions for sending out the kids in a league game in this from the board? I'm in the Christmas period have an on-fire Man Utd away but I played Swansea 2 days ago and have Liverpool in 3 days time. I've no chance of getting anything at Old Trafford but I am fearful of the board going apeshit if I rest the whole first team and get walloped 8-0 or something.

    I paid €30 on CD Keys. It was close to €50 anywhere else I looked.

    He's shitting it up at Villa currently so it's all good.

    I did call him one of the good guys in football though, which hurt just a little.

    I'm not sure how much he'd cost at the start of the game but Joel Pohjanpalo is absolutely banging them in for West Ham in my current save in 2019 and is valued at €31m.

    The season has started well. We fucked PAOK in the first Champion's League qualifier, and then squeezed past Dortmund on away goals in the last one. A group of Man City, Leverkusen, and Ajax doesn't bode particularly well, but I'll hopefully make the Europa League at least.

    Just logos and kits, I never touch facepacks.

    Maybe he's just happier at QPR.

    I had a facepack last year so there's a chance it's just sharing resources without bothering to tell me, but there are players without a picture in this who definitely had one in the pack I was using, so I doubt it.

    His stats don't look near as good in mine but he's a regular for Crystal Palace and worth €23m.

    Like I say I'm not too concerned with Big Ben. Given the players who were available after, I do now regret signing him.

    I've brought in Lincoln and Breel Embolo too, so that should have us set for a while. Still tempted to cash in on Mané to continue the Southampton PHILOSOPHY.

    I was sort of hoping it would increase my chances of another job with both Arsenal and Liverpool looking like being in the market. They don't look like they're coming up now so I might indeed make the request.

    Okay, first proper save on Touch is with... Foggia. My perennial favourite LLM Italian team. Shame Parma aren't playable, that would have been a lot of fun.

    Anyone picked up this guy on a free? Wages £750 a week, great for LLM teams.

    Sylvain Wiltord's joined the scouting team and now I have 12 frenchmen on trial.

    And I'm successfully out of all the cups at the first chance, so I can concentrate on getting promoted.

    Just seen a weird one. Stoke sacked Marcelino as manager and then he was hired by Swansea but the report said that Swansea had to pay €3.6m in compensation to Stoke. Must be a bug, though just a strange one rather than an important one.
