Just finished my 3rd season- managed to scrape a UEFA Cup spot which the board are delighted with. Just signed a 35 year old Zlatan Ibrahimovic as my backup striker as well as a couple of class regens and Willy Caballero as a number 2 keeper. Very solid squad now, with Adama Traore on one flank...
I'm now flying high in the Prem in 6th place after 10 games. Just beat Palace in a gutsy 1-0 performance which was nice.
Signed Darren Fletcher, Sergi Roberto from Barca (both of whom got injured for 5 months during pre season) so had to rely on Sebastien Eguren who I assumed was well over the...

L 2-4 vs Bolton
Rather high scoring but I seem to recall the 2014 Beta was similar in that regard.
Snapped up Pablo Aimar, Joseph Yobo and Adriano on free transfers. Starting to...
