Despite as a team scoring loads, I lacked an out and out goal scorer. Splashed £100m on Haaland. 16 goals in 11 league games. I’ll take that.

 

Had a weird thing saying the board owed me one for being so good and would grant any board request. Never seen that before.

An anomaly in the game, Southgate does rubbish for England, they bring in Dyche. Southgate to Burnley. Dyche fails, goes to Burnley Southgate back in, then it happened again. I’m only in 2024/2025 season. Just give it me, with the class England have who are so highly valued I’d easily win stuff.

I started a Dortmund save in the end and it’s going well. At the end of January in the first season and sat top of the league and into the knockouts of the CL. 

The board are pretty generous! Asked them to sign Edouard in January and they stumped up the cash but he chose Man City. Then asked them for Isak and they paid up for him, and signed him for 27.5m. Think he must have had a buy back clause. Then, last day of the window out of nowhere added £15m to my transfer budget, so signed Noah Katterbach for a fee rising to £35m and loaned him back to Koln. Also signed Livkovic (sp) the keeper from Dinamo in Jan for £13m, Burki just didn’t fill me with confidence. 

The start of the save I managed to bring in Kaio Jorge for a fee rising to £20m, good prospect but have just loaned him out. I loaned in Depay and Eric Garcia after both got listed due to contracts expiring. I had hoped to sign both on a free, managed to agree the Garcia deal, but Depay is playing well for me and wanted by loads, and chose Man City too. 

Haaland is ridiculous. He’s on 29 in all comps at the end of Jan. he’s class. 

Have they still got some really good backroom staff on this version?

Finished 4th in my 2nd arsenal season, bought Haaland pretty much just because I could, he's patchy, can go 2 or 3 games with a 6.5 rating then get a brace or a hattrick

Man City lost the FA Cup final to me, lost the CL final to dortmund and then finished 5th 😂 bought frenkie de Jong for £100m though

Transfers are still nuts, psg spent £350m again, bellerin in the last year of his contract went to barca for £60m so I start RB shopping, pretty much every good young one has already moved, Dest has moved twice, inter came in for Tierney for £60m so I had a look round for a replacement first and there's no one 

I did buy neves for £25m which is a bargain, can't flog auba or willian though

Team - Leno, AMN, Felipe, Gabriel, Tierney, camara, partey, neves, saka, Nelson, haaland

Nelson is a beast

Yeah pretty decent. Some good coaches and some crap. Cleared out the worst few and recruited some better ones. Scouts are strong too, only a couple of naff ones. Again shipped out the worst and recruited new. I’m usually Villa and have to revamp it all, but at Dortmund it’s tweaking it. 

Could do with more coaches to increase specialism but the board keep saying no. 

They have a whole set up for Dortmund II and the under 19’s with a DOF just for them. Not dug into replacing them yet tho!

I remember Zorc (think it was him) being a pretty good DoF.

The current regen issue is really holding me back playing this. I usually have one or two long term saves and this issue kills it for me.

The current problem is the game isn't producing enough regens into the game later down the line. So once you get 10-20 years in, youth teams are down to like 5-6 players. I don't even know if a fix would be save compatible.

Ah man. I didn’t even know about this!

Finished my first season with Dortmund and had a domestic clean sweep. Won the Super Cup, Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal. Played my own custom 4-2-4 gegenpress and seems to be smashing it. Lost to Ajax on away goals in the CL QF in the last minute.

Haaland finished the season on 52 goals and signed Isak in January and he bagged 21 from Jan to the end of the season. 

Had a splurge in the summer as had a budget of £80m and sold a few like Burki, Delaney, Akanji and Hazard adding another £85m so overall about £165m to spend. 

Brought in Aarons, Katterbach, Fati, Szoboszlai so far. Got Garcia, Milik and Amavi on free transfers. After a centre back and DLP now. I’ve bid for Sule as board want German players and players from rivals as one of my targets, and he’s only got a year left on his deal at Bayern.

Wow, not sure how you managed to get Izak. On mine he transfer to Juve on day one for over £70, now one of the highest valued players in the game.

Just finished 24/25 season. Won everything. Starting with Super Cup, League Cup, League (unbeaten record went with 3 games left of season). Then won FA cup and Champions league again. Weirdly didn’t take part in World Club championship. 
 

Jack won league best player for the first time, which surprised me as it was probably one of his weaker seasons. Like in real life England don’t rate him. Still only has 25 caps. 
Haaland finished with 42 goals from 49, 31 in the league.

Pretty sure Dortmund had a buyback clause for him, as when I scouted him he was valued around 22m still at Sociedad, and they came back saying he would cost 27.5m (I think) around that figure anyway. Didn’t have the funds so asked the board and they signed him for that much. 

He was a bargain as he’s worth around £45m and bangs then in for fun up top with Haaland.

You’ve got Fati as well, on mine he’s the highest valued player in the game now and scores for fun. 
 

I’ve managed to sell Louie Barry for £100m, last season he was in loan at Spurs and played 9 times scoring once. Very odd at times.

————————————-

World Cup Championship has just started in the window between end of season and start of new one. 4 groups, I’m in a group with PSG, Athleti, Juve. Man City also in the other group. Then there is some Eastern European teams in another group, with South American in a group of their own. Have I missed something in real life on this?

Yeah paid a big fee for Fati as on FM20 he was my nemesis!! So picked him up early. Fee is totalling around £75m for an 18 year Fati, for his potential mainly. Structured the deal, with about £35m up front, 3 instalments for a large chunk and performance related fees too.

Managed to sell Thorgan Hazard to PSG for 48m and Guerreiro for 65m to Real Madrid. Keeping my balances nice and healthy!

Yeah fifa want a club world cup to replace the club world championship or whatever its called 

No confed Cup, held every 4 years as the stadium test comp, 24 teams should be 8 European teams, I think from memory it's being financed by a big Japanese bank and is unsurprisingly controversial and all about money

Anyone playing as villa have some of the youth set up make it? Barry, carney etc

Tempted to start a Villa game but don't want it to be grealish + 10 new players after 2 seasons

The ratings for the youth team are not good but that could be my coaches

Unfortunately touch doesn't have an editor so I can't increase their potential
