First window and have gotten: Pino, Raphinha, Zakaria, Trippier, Izak, Llorente (Leeds) and Bissouma!

I'm really enjoying the game and I think the improvements are pretty nice so far but the dynamic youth rating is so massive for me anyway it was worth the money for that alone, almost don't care about much else

I've had a mixed start to the season. After 10 games, I'm sitting in 9th place with 17 points. I had a 4 game losing run including getting knocked out of the EFL Cup on penalties by Cheltenham but I've gone on a 5 game unbeaten run since which included coming back from 2 goals down to draw 4-4 with Liverpool at St James Park.

Some of my buys haven't been a success - Benitez and Sule have been the most consistent along with Schaub who has provided 8 assists. Musiala has disappointed and Dest has been nothing but trouble in the dressing room! Joe Willock who also arrived this year in a deal before I took charge has been another disruptive individual in the dressing room after I reduced his status to squad member.

I've also noted that in the first 10 or 11 games Man City have lost more league games than me with 4 defeats!!!

I really like this little thing. So many times have I scouted someone and later go back and make an offer that is too low because of the age of the scout report. Nice little feature

 

[Tom]

I won the Manager of the Month award for November and the board injected £58m to allow the club to comply with financial fair play regulations - not sure if the injection is related to our recent performances but we're unbeaten in 7 (5 wins/2 draws) and sit 6th in the league with a game in hand over the teams above us.

Less than halfway through the season is Guardiola going to be the first big-name managerial casualty?

 

[Tom]

Nuno Espirito Santo becomes the second Premier League manager, after Brendan Rodgers, to lose his job - quite accurate I guess.

After getting thumped by Arsenal we've steadied the ship in the next two fixtures - Man United were lucky to get a 2-2 draw and we beat Everton 1-0 despite only having 32% possession.

I've gone to the Board of Directors and asked them to upgrade our youth facilities and they've agreed to start work at the end of the season at a cost of £4m

 

[Fraser]

I finished the season 4th with Newcastle. Liverpool obliterated everything in front of them and won the treble. City somehow finished 5th (a point behind me) and Leeds 6th. Leeds were top 3 most of the season, and Chelsea after about 15 games were way down the table. They then went on a mental winning spree of about 10 odd league games.

I don't think I'll manage Newcastle in the final version.

 

[Tom]

Patrick Vieria becomes the third managerial casualty in the Premier League. Hardly surprising with PAlace bottom of the league, what is surprising is it took them 24 games to show him the door. Palace sit bottom, with one win and just 6 points from 24 matches!

Sergino Dest has continued to disappoint, so much so that I tried to offload him in the winter transfer window but he refused to move to Shakhtar in the £33.5m deal. PAlace, Southampton and Shakhtar all remain interested in him so I may try and offload him again in the summer if his performances don't improve.

Musiala hit a fine run of form before picking up an injury that will sideline him for 2 months and Callum Wilson continues to bang the goals in - finding the net on 21 occasions in 26 matches.

I'm currently 4th in the league and European football next season is a real possibility.

 

[Dylan]

I don't think I'll manage Newcastle in the final version.

I think Barcelona are a bigger challenge. No money but surely some decent youth players? Or maybe guide Schalke back to the Bundesliga?

Actually like the new 'Deadline Day' thing.
