It is indeed, although he never got his move to Europe.
I tried to sell him but he's on a far too high contract. Gone in a few months when it expires though.
Pyramids FC 2030/31 Season Update:
League:
I thought it would be a walk in the park and I wasn't wrong. However, I did think Zamalek were going to give us a good fight as they won their first seven games along with us but when we beat them ion the 8th game they turned to utter shit.
Domestic cup:
No problems and I got to play a lot of youth throughout.
Continental:
I thought this would be a lol type thing as crap as the Egypt Cup so I played my youth and we got turned over in that second leg. Luckily my board didn't care about the competition.
Incredibly easy until we came up against ES Sahel from Tunisia. We should have smacked them in the first leg but wasted a lot of chances. In the second leg we were 3-0 up in the first half and coasting until they scored in the 67th minute. From there they seemed to find another gear and we couldn't touch them. luckily we grabbed a 4th to seal the tie in injury time (although we were going through on away goals).
The final:
It was all Sundowns in the first half and we were fortunate to only be one down. I thought when Armas scored his second we were fine (he also had one disallowed shortly after) but I was proved wrong. I was then planning what to do in extra time to swing things in our favour but in the 95th minute Armas completed his hattrick and ticked another competition off the list.
Transfers In:
Toggle Spoiler
I also signed about 20 Brazilians on a free throughout the season as my board kept cancelling other transfers. They were released as soon as the window closed.
Transfers out:
Would have liked to get more out of the club but those I wanted gone had no interest in them.
Squad stats:
Our clear player of the season you don't see many 6 foot 5 players who are fairly quick but weaker than a 12 year old. The lad made it work though.
I will be going to New Zealand next and then on to a challenge in Europe. Also, I have not left Brazil but didn't give an update because we only played 2 friendlies.
The board have just accepted a £2.4m offer from Rangers for my star GK. Bastards! He was only 19 yrs old is destined to be a top player in the Scottish Premier. It will be a record sale for the club though. Although I have no backup GK so need to replace him in the summer along with getting a back-up.
Leave.
If they do it once they'll do it constantly.
Is that the way it works?
Well at Hermanos Colmenarez the board sold 3 of my best players. I protested every transfer and asked to re-negotiate (you can only do each one time per player in FM20) each one in the hopes they'd price the buying team out.
The board/chairman accepting bids on your behalf is decided by hidden attributes they have. If they do it once, they'll always do it.
I have been lucky the board have never accepted any transfers without my say so. Right now a 4 star PA defender has come through my academy and premier league teams are already offering me £10m for him, trying to keep him and develop him myself instead.
I've not had it happen a single time at Ferencvaros. Not sure if that's because we're top dogs in Hungary, rep-wise, or just the chairman's personality.
Happy to report that the lovely man in charge of Southport gives me every demand I ask for and hasn't sold a single player.
Exciting.
(We play 38)

Imagine that in real life, in the Premiership.
Sky would be fucking creaming themselves.
The 31/32 season is underway. Annoyingly I was meant to move into a new stadium in October, but it's been delayed for 5 more months. So we're stuck at the tiny 'Tranmere Stadium'
Derby are going to have a fun season.
They'll get 6 points, beating me no doubt.
2024 and I've named an all-English XI. #EDL #TommyKnows
Great
I downloaded a 99-00 database, and it's great fun just looking around.

2030/31
Trading in the beaches of Normandy for the billionaires playground, 2030 would see me take the reigns at AS Monaco. Monaco haven't been up to much in the last decade. Runners up in the league on two occasions and thrice losing finalists in the Coupe de France. Their academy has seemingly dried up and the fans if they had any to begin with aren't turning out. One note of comfort is the familiar faces in the dressing room, Alessandro Bastoni (captain), Gedson Fernandes & Matteo Guendouzi. Other real players include, Jack Lahne, Maarten Vandevoordt, Lassina Traore & Takehiro Tomiyasu.
With the squad in need of one or two more, we secured Batista Mendy from Lorient, Noah Okafor from Espanyol and Anthony Caci from Caen for the grand total of £7m. With millions to spare I then robbed Rennes by activating a £20m release clause for a future French international.
National
Europe was the aim, but it wasn't going to be easy. With teams now waking up to the fact the Mbappe era is coming to a close, they saw this as a perfect opportunity to splash the cash. Rennes spent north of £200m, Toulouse £180m & Strasbourg £100m. Records were broken left and right. On the pitch was proving just as difficult with opposition managers seemingly working out my methods. At the winter break we were 15th in the table with only three wins to our name. Closer to relegation than the European spots, the axe was slowly being lowered. An away win in the Derby de la Côte d'Azur would be my saving grace and from that point on form slowly began to pick up. In the end we finished in 12th with 51 points and against all the odds I managed to keep my job.
Rennes and their new found millions would make history lifting the title after edging PSG & Toulouse by a single point. Zidane would get the last laugh leading PSG to a Coupe de France & Champions League double. Our campaign in Europe was to be brief losing out to Milan in the round of 32.
With no European football as a distraction, a clear run at the the top four next season should be achievable. These hopes were boosted ahead of the summer as we agreed a deal with Leverkusen for Dayot Upamecano to return to France on a free. The contract is for two seasons, but I'll be hoping to tie him down till retirement.

Had to wait a few in game months as 3 of the top 4 in New Zealand had their managers contracts ending in September and I was only in June. Finally I'm here though:
Team Welly:
Key Player:
Youth Prospect:
We have fuck all money but we're predicted to finish first. The previous manager did that last season but lost the title in the playoffs. We will be in the Champions League where we lost in the semi-final to Hawke's Bay who ended up winning it.
We have fuck all money though which is a shame.
Transfer window was closing the day after I joined and as we only had 1 natural ST I picked these two up on a free:
Fairly happy with both tbh.
Won the 28/29 Season Championship with games to spare, form was erratic until January then just went on a run dismantling teams, even putting my second string out away at then league leaders Derby and winning 2-1
Bonus 'analysis is shite' picture:
Board have announced I am getting £37m to spend in the summer, remember in the lost save my first PL promotion I barely got a million quid.
Up The Tics.
These board expectations will be the death of me
I see Touch has 66% off on Steam. V tempted.
Steam won’t load for me atm but the boxed game is £13.99 at Argos and comes with Touch.Originally Posted by Manc

So what happened after my 'biggest transfer window ever'?
Went slightly overboard
Aside from the free transfer who was just there to be loaned out and sold for a profit, these are my acquisitions:
Two wonderkids in there. Not bad given the wage restrictions the board had on me and the reputation of the club deterring big players (like a 34 year old Bruno Fernandes).
Got smashed 5-0 away at the Emirates first game but then drew 1-1 with Bournemouth and beat Leicester 5-1 away.
Not sure spending 27m on a right back with 5 for crossing is something I can endorse, or 38m on a centre half with 7 for heading.
I'm a twit
Not ideal but they are young enough to be improved with training and mentoring groups, they are way off reaching their potential ability so far but hammering the minutes into them should see those atrributes improve massively. At this point in the game (2030) the really phenomenal wonderkids are going for £100m starting bids. Although weirdly despite it being 2030 the Leicester team I faced included Tielemans, Chilwell and Ndidi.
Quickest I've gotten through a season! All was going well until they just gave up at the end and stopped playing other than to defend, resulting in weeks and weeks of draws. Turned it back on once it was to late.

Nothing worse than a stall like that at crunch time.

What a living legend. Not aged a day in that time either.
Sadly neither have his stats
Do you unlock your son for that?
I applied for the England job but was rejected as not good enough. Being a petty man I applied for World Cup winners Spain instead and got it, so my entire international stint is going to be focused on pissing on England's chips as revenge. Club wise I managed to end the summer window with £15m unspent, having signed Nicolas Pepe and Lucas Torreira on free transfers.
Team Wellington 2031/32 Season Update:
League:
Easy enough.
Cups:
Champions League:
We set the record for most goals scored after 2 games. Piss easy really.
Squad:
I padded out the squad with loans in the second window which just put us up a level although I don't think we really needed them anyway.
Brazil:
Bit shit that we've lost 2 already but our squad is ageing now and we're not getting quality youths through. Copa America is in a month and I'll be leaving no matter what.
I do have games left in New Zealand but THE JOB is done.
Club competitions:
FIFA Club World Cup
UEFA Champions League
UEFA Conference League
UEFA Super Cup
African Champions League
Copa Libertadores
O-League (Oceanic Champions League)
Asian Champions League
North American Champions League
International competitions:
FIFA World Cup
Olympics
UEFA European Championship
Nations Leaue
African Cup of Nations
Copa America
Oceanic Nations Cup
Asian Nations Cup
North American Gold Cup
Time for Europe and I'll be trying to find a challenge which will take a few seasons to get going hopefully.

Not yet
Copa America. DONE.
Mexico game was nervy as fuck especially as we thought we won it due to an 85th minute goal but they then equalised in the 95th minute. We also missed the first penalty but luckily my keeper saved two.
No jobs outside of South America are available but there are a few European managers that are on the edge.
I'm Corinthians and one of my players is described as could be the next RONALDO.

Just signed a polish 19 yr old AMC for my Ayr Utd. In the last year, before joining me, he's been out injured with a broken leg (5 months) and a fractured skull (3 months). Bit of rough year.
Summer aim was to sign a striker, an AMR and a sub AMR
Nailed it.

Overpaid bigtime for Baz, but he is trained in England and I couldn't fit anymore foreign players in, same with Dietsch.
Big fan of Augusto Baz.
