Started my first game on Career Mode with Leicester obviously and really enjoying it so far (didn't use the takeover), sold Beckford and a few others to help fund my transfer dealings, bringing in James Chester, Peter Whittingham, Jese Rodriguez and Rickie Lambert. Lambert was fantastic for the first half of the season and I found myself just outside the play-offs. Decided to get rid of Lambert, Nugent, Konchesky and possibly some others in January, bringing in Adam LeFondre, Martin Olsson, Sylvan Ebanks-Blake and Charlie Austin to replace them. Ended up finishing 4th and won the play-offs beating Blackburn 3-0 in the final after a brilliant semi-final with Palace, losing 3-1 in the first leg, I turned it around to win 3-1, and score 4 goals in extra time to get to Wembley. Career mode is great this year.
This year I've sold, SEB (£1.2M), Vardy (£1.1M), Futacs (£1.1M), Danns (£325,000) and Wellens (£140,000). Used that to sign Ahmed Musa (£4.9M), Alex Pearce (£1.2M) and David Vaughan (£1.15M). Currently 15th with 12 points from the first 12 games.
My Premier League Team, Schmeichel (78) De Laet (74) Chester (75) Pearce (77) Olsson (76) Knockaert (74) King (76) Vaughan (75) Rodriguez (76) Austin (76) Musa (76)
Logan (62), Whitbread (71), Moore (69), Marshall (73), Drinkwater (74), Waghorn (70), le Fondre (73)

I do find the Games a bit repetitive in Career Mode if I'm honest. Every Game seems to be the same, with me having about 70% of the ball trying to break down there bus on the edge of there box. Currently doing my first Season at Bayer Leverkusen, and just landed the Belgium job at the same time. Sacked off the Leverkusen Career, was boring as hell. Started one with Inter Milan. Couldn't believe the state of there Team and thought it needed rejuvenating. Brought in a decent Scout, then signed Lewandowski for £13,500,000 + Diego Milito. Also brought in Piszczech from Borussia Dortmund for £8,500,000, and Signed Muniain from Bilbao. Cleared out the likes of Stankovic, Palacio, Chivu and a couple others. Lavaja and Mbaye are hot propects for the future. Sitting in 2nd at the moment, after winning 12, drawing 2 and losing the Milan Derby and 4-0 Away at Juventus. Won 3 and drawn 1 in the Europa League in my Group with Spurs, Rapid Vienna and Valerenga. Having a nightmare with Injuries at the moment though, Lewandowski, Sneijder, Coutinho, Ranocchia, Obi and Muniain all out for 2 months. Portugal came in for me and I thought they would be a good Side to try and rebuild, since they've had pretty much the same Squad for the last 8 Years.

Got a few seasons on the go, but my Sunderland one is the main one I've been focusing on. I got an offer to be the Belgium manager, which I took.
When I did a career with Chelsea, I waited to see how long until England offered me a job, and it took a year and a half until they did.

Been offered quite a few international jobs - Russia, USA and a few lower ones - but rejected them all. Waiting for a world class team (or England) to offer me one. If you're in an international job do you still get offers from other teams?

Yeah, that's the only way to go to a new team if you don't want to resign. I browsed through the other day and had an offer from Germany which I'm quite tempted to take, but I've only had four matches with Belgium so far, 2 wins, a draw and a loss.

I'm currently 4th with Leeds in my first season. Playing on professional but adjusted some sliders and it's made things much more interesting. Got offered a job with FC Twente which I turned down. The club got taken over just before Christmas, I spent £20,000,000 on new players but have had some crapty results lately, so I could be on the way out.. ![:(](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/sad.gif)

Portugal came in for me and I thought they would be a good Side to try and rebuild, since they've had pretty much the same Squad for the last 8 Years. Blew Serie A by drawing my third to last Game while AC Milan won, so lost the League by a point. Also got to the Europa League Final against Tottenham and lost 1-0 in a Game where I had about 25 Shots! I did beat Juventus in the Coppa Itallia Final though, but was a shame not to of won the Europa League. Kind of happy that I didn't win the League in the first Year, gives the feel that I'm on the up and will come back stronger next Season. I got an offer of £32,000,000 for Lewandowski which I simply couldn't turn down, despite only just signing him the year prior and going up to an 86 at the age of 24. Used the money to get Falcao who will be my main man. Then, on Deadline Day, Sneijder revealed he was leaving, and went automatically to Real Madrid for £22,000,000, so I used the money to bring in Lucas Moura for £27,000,000. Livajic got top scorer and the most assists last Season and he's only a 73, was hoping he'd of improved more but he feels like hes at least an 85 when playing with him.

Have the same thing with Heung-Min Son (signed from Hamburg for £4 million). Got 24 goals in a season, including goals to get me into the Champions League quarter final, and win me the title (plus many other in vital situations), yet he is only rated 76. Madness.

Started my second season. I managed to convince Giggs to stay on for one more season, if only so it made my replacement jobs a bit easier with Scholes retiring. The first thing I did was look to replace Scholes at CM: I didn't want to sign anyone I'd bought on FIFA 12, but I ultimately decided that Schweinsteiger (who was my first signing for MUFC on 12) was by far the best candidate, so I bought him for £3m+Kagawa, whose rating had gone up in my first season but I still didn't like. I then essentially swapped Mandanda for the younger and 1 point superior Neuer, before buying Pepe and Marcelo from Real Madrid and Munain as a backup LW (replacing Kagawa) from Bilbao. I'd wanted to sign Hummels but they wanted upwards of £20m compared to the £12m for Pepe, who always keeps Messi quiet when I play El Clasicó with my housemates. Vidic will need replacing next season (fallen from 89-86 in one year) as will Giggs (although I'm hoping Powell will improve enough to take that slot on), so Hummels will probably be bought then. I had around £7m left and requested additional funds from the board, so I got granted £4m. I also realised my starting XI didn't have a single Englishman in it, so I decided to see if I could buy back Rooney from Barcelona, who had bought him for £50m the previous season. I don't think he did that well there (when I met them in the CL he was benched for both legs) so they were happy to take £11m & Chicharito, which represented around £25m for me in return for loaning Rooney for one season. Great business. Transfers: Neuer for £2m + Mandanda Schweinsteiger for £3m + Kagawa Pepe for £10.7m Marcelo for £8m + Fabio Muniaín for £9m + Rafael (I broke up the twins, shocking I know) Rooney for £11m + Hernandez My Team: ---Neuer (89)--- ---Alves (84)---Vidic (86)---Pepe (85)---Marcelo (83)--- ---Vidal (87)---Schweinsteiger (87)--- ---Nani (89)---Gotze (88)---Neymar (89)--- ---Rooney (89)--- Bench: De Gea (83) Ferdinand (81) Smalling (82) Tioté (83) Valencia (85) Muniaín (80) RVP (88) Reserves: Evra (81) Buttner (73) Jones (81) Evans (79) Carrick (79) Powell (68) Giggs (75)

Think you can use it once a season but have to spend the "coins" to get it again. ![](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif) ing hope so, because I wasted 3 of them on a now corrupt save file. Their patch didn't seem to work so I started a new one with Liverpool and done the takeover thing. Hope to re-create my Burnley one once they've 100% sorted out the freezing (March next year probably, if at all).

I've tried buying it again (the 1,500 coin one) and says I can't purchase it as i've already purchased it. Sucks tbh, only a few hundred coins away from the 2,000 one so will buy that when I have the chance.
