Never stopped Lego before!
I'm fairly sure it'll be Moyes.

It's annoying because City were on last weekend as well.
What if it's Wenger? I'm sure the Glazers will love him.

Do any of you think Ronaldo would be as good as Messi if he worked harder for his team-mates?
I'm having a debate with someone which began with him saying Ronaldo hampers Madrid (after Jon Wilis' article today) and he's now suggesting if Ronaldo wasn't so selfish he'd be a better player than Messi.
A fairly insane case of arguing your point beyond the boundaries of logic.

I don't think so. Messi seems like the ball is tied to his foot with elastic. Ronaldo doesn't always seem in complete control, which sounds weird. Only his physical attributes are better than Messi, I reckon.

This plan to change the CL from 32 to 64 teams is ridiculous.
Make the Europa League alternate weeks to the CL and on Tuesday/Wednesday, have the winner get a group spot automatically and the loser go into the lower rounds (say 1st round or whatever) and try and strike a better TV deal to make it worth more money. Especially as latter stages will get CL rejects like City (and possibly Chelsea
)
Seems simple really.

Try a lower league team. Nothing more rewarding than taking Macclesfield to Europa League glory.
I just have a hard time playing with other teams than Bayern :/ it always feels wrong

I usually reboot the team depending on the quality of the squad. If i've already built quite a young team i'll usually ship out the remaining older players and do that. Or i'll buy in a lot of younger players (quite like players such as Willems, Kovacic, Butland etc) but I tend to get bored before seeing if they can reproduce.

That happens to me sometimes too. After 2/3 years with United I win everything and then it's just a bit tedious because your team is so strong and there aren't any transfers that need to be made etc.
You can try selling off some big players, like sell your 2/3 most valuable/best players and try to rebuild a bit.
Set some kind of target, that you want to use X amount of youth players.
Or a good one is go on holiday for a long time, like 2/3 years and come back and see what's up.
Personally think the best thing is to start a new file with Bayern but turn real players off. Generates a database of made up players and so everything is new to you and it tends to stay that way.

Think they've conceded one goal at home all season. You'll do well to get anything.
A Ronaldo who worked harder for him teammates is basically the Ronaldo of 2006/2007. He had so many assists and goals that season. He was also at his most creative and exciting that year.
But Ronaldo is at his peak right now. Scoring all these goals is what makes him the world class player he is. There's no point trying to change the way he plays. Asking him to play more for his teammates would only limit his own effectiveness.

I have an even simpler solution.
Take 25% of the CL prizemoney, and give that to the EL.
I usually go on to the next team.
If you don't want that, set new goals for yourself, like not playing any foreigners, only play with players from your youth-system, play with a weird tactic etc.
Damn. :'(
I'm with Wolfsburg at the moment. Plenty of risk enough for now!
I try to win the most league titles, domestic cups, and UCLs. After I did that I tend to start a journeyman save. It's you start the game unemployed and you have to win each of the champion leagues on each continent. It's pretty fun and feels awesome when you win everything.
Anyway, Toro facing Siena today in the Coppa Italia. Tuscans are tough bunch. We drew against them at the start of season, but i think we will get the win today.

I think we should do a Footy-Gaf International or Club FM Network game. Wilbz, Timiruid and Me did one the other day and worked great so if we could get enough of us we could do one of the versus modes for a quick game or make a long term one :lol
Also I watched the first episode of Workaholics and it was awful :lol Please tell me it gets better than that Linius?

How does this work? Can any of our teams jump in? And what's up when they are from different countries, or when someone plays faster than the other. As you can see I haven't looked into that mode at all lol

It waits for everyone to finish the day before it continues. It makes everyone one play at a Wednesday/Saturday interval and if your match finishes before the others you can go watch another players match. Such as when I saw Wilbury's Liverpool crash out of the EL :lol
Yeah.
The humor is rather childish. If you don't like the first three episodes or so this show is not for you.

Can't get enough of Dortmund on FIFA. 3 years in and this is my squad:
ter Stegen
Piszczek
Subotic
Hummels
Schmelzer
Bender
Gundogan
Blaszczykowski
Gotze
Reus
Lewandowski
Only the goalkeeper has changed due to Weidenfeller or whatever his name is getting old.
Their ratings pretty much put them as the best team in the game now. Hummels, Gotze, Lewandowski are over 90. Reus - 89, Bender/Gundogan - 88, etc.
The love flowing through me makes me want to go and live in Dortmund with a Dortmund-coloured house and Dortmund bedsheets.
