Bit of a coincidence then?

Right finished my 2013/14 season:

After a VERY expensive season for me, it actually went very well, but got a few things i want to fix next season.

Did very well in the league, especially conceding very little:

This ended up with a few good sequences too;

And the overall season, which i'm not happy about the highlighted areas;

Here was my winnings, but still got the World Cup to do (fingers crossed);

Overall it went very well leading to this;

And being Manager of the Season for the second season in a row .

So onto the World Cup and new season I go, time to stop the yellow/red cards and back to business really!

My player of the season was Casillas for me;

ha ridiculous. i have major problems conceeding so few. but end up countering it by scoring lots. i bet my most popular scoreline last year was 4-3

 

[memphisto]

wow doing impressively well there syke

well update on my juventus game, well I brought in two strikers which i had to pay for and one on a free as backup so this is my squad




so thats 15 players ive brought into the club some 17 year old regens as well who are playing in my under 20's side at present. the team is taking abit of gelling together but im still managing to grind out some results.

Keirrison cost me £28mill (release fee) but seems to be worth every penny of that so far so Im happy as it stands, only downside is i couldn't register all of these for the Uefa Cup due to homegrown status etc, in my rush to buy an entire team i forgot that it might actually be a good idea to buy some Italians

 

[memphisto]

oh and how did i decide to buy keirrison and seleznyov well it was a bit of genius i thought


a little box came up telling me who was europes golden boot, listing the 3 top scorers in europe, so i went out and bought the first and second placed ones

 

[Shamikebab]

Can anyone explain the bizarre Spanish first division rules?

Im playing as Real Madrid and I seem to have a B team as usual (Castilla) but I have no control over it and can't register players. I've had to stick some players in it as I'm only allowed 25 players in the main squad. It says in the squad selection fro match day that I'm allowed 6 players from my other squads yet when I go to select them it says they're all unavailable

I swear things weren't this difficult in 08.

my problem was scoring goals, i couldnt count the number of games i drew 0-0 with barca i only conceded 8 goals all season but won the league being the 5th top scorers in the league.
