    My team will not score goals.

    Have so many games where I outshoot and xG the opponent, but my guys just can't put it in the net.

    Think I'm just going to go ahead and sell the CB this January if I can get an offer worth a damn. The money could just be helpful as hell

    This has been my primary formation. I've been altering with the roles/tactics to try and get something going. Main striker has been being a bitch about contract most the season, I've also been trying to play more youth, so it's also just part of it

    Some games I'll push the CM to CAM as an AM(A)

    Hmm I’d personally have the wingbacks on support and two midfielders on attack

    Instruct wingbacks to cross to the center and cross from the byline

    work the ball into the box

    Mid block instead of low maybe…?

    Also if your DLF is a good passer and has the comes deep to get the ball trait I would try them on support

    I will try and use some/all of those. I had right side on attack because it worked with his ratings/preference(I'm a people pleaser).

    I had just recently taken off the work ball in to box. I will add the crossing now as that makes too much sense.

    Low block just got put in because Monaco(A) is next.

    Gave up an equalizer at the death to their GK on a set piece

    Not having a sarcasm/joking font backfired. Biggest thing I took from you was the wingbacks into support, and the cross from byline/to center.

    Just got my youth development preview.

    It's shit again. Had another new HOYD this year and it was shit again. Kind of tempted to try and go find my old one to bring back.

    I’d get someone with a higher rating and works with youngsters and a better personality like determined or professional or resilient

    And make sure his preferred formations match your tactics

    Not sure how I hadn't found this person earlier, but I have made an offer. His formation isn't directly in line, but not far off. He was Juventus' HOYD for the last 15 years so I'll take that chance

    It took until my 6th season but I finally fucking did it

    I just won my first match over Real Madrid at home 2-0

    18 games in now January 2030 I’m 12 points up on Real and 11 up on Barcelona

    Could this be the year?

    Chelsea still circling for my Bosnian winger but haven’t made an offer yet

    And Chelsea just made an offer for him

    117 up front

    another 54 in installments

    I tried to persuade him to stay he said no and I told him I’d only let him go if they triggered the release which made him happy

    Chelsea told me that’s too much

    he stays

    March 2030

    Just booked my second Copa del Rey final in 3 years

    13 points above Real, 11 points above Barcelona. Forgot to mention when I knew I was gonna lose at Camp Nou back in December I sent out some reserves and told them to tackle everyone hard.

    Led to Pedri getting his ankle broken and now in a league game against Las Palmas, Gavi has a “hip injury” that will like take him out the rest of the season.

    Feels like this is the year I have to win it

    I kinda feel like I have it locked at this point but then again there’s still 13 games left and my last game of the season is home against Barca so it feels like the game might have a surprise in store for me

    I just eliminated Yanited in the round of 16 after scoring with a man down and then playing Mourinho Chelsea terroism ball

    but my star keeper who leads the champions league in clean sheets and is second in La Liga only to Courtois broke his arm somehow and is now out for 6 weeks

    12 points ahead of Barca, 15 ahead of Real. 11 league games left


    This is the craziest season

    31 Games played

    Espaynol 84 points
    Barcelona 69
    Real Madrid 69
    Atletico 63


    The Norwegian striker I got for 3.3 million just won NXGN, he is leading the league in the golden boot race and has 24 goals in all competitions on an xg of 18.21

    Myron Boadu is the reason I was able to turn this club around and he’s the all time club goal scorer and only 29, but I think he’s just lost his job as first choice striker and idk what to do with him

    my backup goalie was a regen French kid I bought from PSG’s academy for like 7 million a lot of potential but hasn’t played much. Hasn’t given up a goal in the 5 games he’s played and now has “the relishes big matches” trait

    2nd time winning it in 3 years

    Still up by double digits in La Liga

    There is about to be a new king in Spain boys

    I’m officially a club Icon at Espaynol

    don’t think I wanna leave until I’m a legend

    i get bored with saves very easily around the 5-7 season range. If I stay at Espaynol this summer it would be season 8 which would be the longest I’ve ever gone with one team
