[Mike]

Just had the January transfer window close. Lucas Leiva signed for Real Madrid for £19million, it could go up to £24million!




Heres the league so far.


Not going amazingly well.

[Clunge]

Which Newcastle players are completely OP to deserve that?

[Mike]

They don't seem that good. Must be Rafa. Rondon has banged a few in, his stats aren't great though. Anyways...

Won my first trophy!

[phonics]

Decided to go with Birmingham for funsies. I accidentally didn't put anyone in my training camp squad so everyone hates me, I've yet to win a game outside of beating Leeds 5-1 in the Carabao Cup

[Foe]

So you basically went on holiday without the boiz.

[Baz]

Are you having a laugh.

u wot

[Spikey M]

Has the engine been changed at all? Or is Wing backs and 3 central attackers still all that’s required to win everything?

[Baz]

I don't know what they've changed, but they've certainly added a lot more injuries.

Gegenpress and 424 are completely overpowered now. Here's my own tactic, screenshots of United and Leipzig save in it plus other users:

It's worth noting that this patch creates a new folder in the db folder, so if you do the real name fix​​​​​​​, you'll need to do it again.

First game post-patch:

[Mike]

Had my first youth intake, did alright!

[Mike]

Was going to offer this guy a youth contract until I spotted this


Idiot.

[bruhnaldo]

lmfao what in the fuck

[Baz]

I’m really enjoying my save. Actually bickering with Lovren and Lallana at the minute because I’m trying to sell them to raise some money to bring in Sule(?) from Bayern.

Lovren was mad I turned down a £12m offer from a Chinese team, but I’d already accepted a £15m one from a different Chinese team. He failed to agree terms though so now I’ve accepted two £12m bids from two more Chinese clubs but tried to persuade him to go the one who didn’t have me paying half of his wages. His response? “I disagree. I think West Brom is the best move for me.” They haven’t even bid for you, you lummox!

Meanwhile everyone in America were apparently interested in Lallana but nobody actually bid for him so it’s looking like a cut price £18.75m to Watford is his only option. He’s worth £48m but he’s 30 and always injured, plus I’ve signed two players who can play centre mid, so I’d rather cash in now and bring in a new centre back to rotate with VvD, Gomez and Matip.

I am absolutely loving it though. I feel really involved and immersed, not sure what’s changed. Maybe it’s cos I’m not normally Liverpool? Probably helps that I’ve got them playing like Klopp does too. Oh and I went top of the league on New Year’s Day!

Also signed a player I proper loved on PES2017, even though he’s no good and doesn’t have a work permit. Some things never change.

[Mike]

Won the league with Liverpool with a game to go!

[Baz]

Mignolet dancing on his own. An outcast, clearly.

gratz bub

[Baz]

[Mike]

Started my main save. Started with no job.


Soon got snapped up

[Baz]

Get Zlatan.

[Mike]

First match was a thriller

[Giggles]

I thought they'd cut you to shreds.

[Dark Soldier]

Made a fucking insane counter press tactic

[wullie]

Whoever the FA have got sending these reminders out is stealing a living

[Dark Soldier]

If anybody feels like trying it I've made an insane 5-1-2-2 very attacking formation, which is very solid defensively. It can be found here (use the 5122 link further down the page, the 5131 is for shutting up shop):

@Mike

How are you finding Marin? Has he made your first XI yet? Looks like a Kim Kallstrom like guaranteed acquisition in every game for me - he’s replaced Sessegnon as my starting LW in 2020 for Fulham with the former joining Arsenal for 70m and he’s better in truth, in a team playing down the left heavily with Tierney behind him.

[Dark Soldier]

Marin is an absolute beast tbf, just doesn't fit into my formation. Hoping to sell him on for insane profit in a season or two:

I only did one season with Liverpool for the Beta so I’ll never get to know.

In yo faces, @Mike @phonics & @igor_balis

(I appreciate you not using EDT files so we can compare scores. Boo to DS for spoiling the fun.)

Gotta disable that Brexit mate

[Baz]

Gotta disable that Brexit mate

Yeah I've just had it. Any player on less than £8K can't play for the first team, and we can only have 17 "foreigners"? Sounds tough.

My U23 team will be awesome, though. Or some players I want to bleed into the first team will be on megabucks for their age.

[Dark Soldier]

Tbf I've got an under 18 player on 26k per week. Scouts gone mental for him and he wouldn't take anything less.

Regen or someone I should be buying?

I can buy that Paqueta guy cheap (£12.75m). I don’t need him at all but seems daft to pass on that value.

[Dark Soldier]

Its a regen, 4.7m from Atletico due to release clause. He arrives in Jan:




Paqueta - I'm on the update so he cost me 48m + 25m over three years:



This is my current best regen. Down arrows are due to injury:

[Dark Soldier]

Oh and this guy is basically gonna be the new Modric:

[Boydy]

@SvN is there anyway to do modals for images on the mobile skin?

[wullie]

What a roller coaster of a season

[Baz]

Are there any word class fullbacks who can play on either side?

[John Arne]

João Cancelo perhaps?

[Baz]

Just found this tool which will be good to waste time at work.

[Baz]

Gotta disable that Brexit mate

Yeah, Brexit fucks it.

[Dark Soldier]

Yeah, Brexit fucks it.

I've switched it off completely this version so you don't even get the 'UK isn't leaving the EU' message.

[Baz]

I'm having to run a strict one-in one-out strategy when it comes to "fgn" players, and all the promising young players in the youth teams will just rot in there forever, I reckon.

[Shindig]

I miss the days of 3 non-EUs. They felt like such luxuries.
