Cheer taff, how's yours getting along mate.

Truthfully I only really started yesterday (I was running a save with Newcastle to see how my original tactic worked after the 7.2 update)

But it's going well, had a few Injury problems where I had to mix the pairs but nothing to bad, qualified for the next round of the Champions cup, quarter finals in Capital one cup and 2nd in the league behind (surprise surprise Leicester).  But going well like you said a great and different challenge and building the squad was great fun.

[Mikee1984]

It's great seeing Leicester up there since the update they have really improved, will look forward to seeing how your season goes mate best of luck.

That being said they just beat me 2-1 so maybe getting them off the top spot will be harder than I thought

I will look forward to seeing if you can do it mate

Cheers dude, I'm hoping to have a season finished before the days end (if work will allow)

Good start here, I would have picked Dybala as a forward as in a couple of saves I have played he is outstanding, then again he did well as IF from the right side!

[Ashez]

Very nice indeed

Yh that was an option but I already had Morata up top  plus dybala was locked with pererya.

So after winning everything in my first season I decided to rip up the team and start afresh with 5 new nations. But this proved incredibly difficult as a lot of my players weren't getting offers so had to sell a lot of them for a fraction of there value to get it done. Got good money for my big 4 but the rest was a struggle for example had to sell Kingsley Coman rated at 50 million for just 19 million was not happy and some 40+ million players are now rotting in my reserves + William carvalho who I bought then realised he couldn't play in midfield affecting squad morale ? here are my new pairings for the new season kept my gk the same. Wish me luck I think I'm goin to need it ha.

Gk-Italy     

Buffon/Leali

Lb/lcb-Greece

Stafylidis/Manolas

Marinos/Papadopoulus

Rb/rcb-German 

Passlack/Rudiger

Weiser/Kehrer

Lm/lcm-American 

Green/Bradley

Gyau/Pulisic

Rm/rcm-Portugal

Guedes/Sanches

Mario/Mane

St-England 

Vardy/Austin

Deeney/Carrol

I thought me replacing 2 of my nations was a big task but swapping out your whole squad (either insane or genius) we'll see which one soon

[Ashez]

What a bad ass

Trust me it was not easy mate didn't realise selling players could be so hard, and hopefully be genius fingers crossed ha.

Haha Cheers mate ?

Second season done and wow it went even better then last season,which was unexpected considering that I had a brand new team at my disposal but they seemed to click straight away. Apart from a really dodgy start that had me questioning wether I'd bitten off more then I could chew this new look team really smashed it in particular Jamie Vardy who terrorised Seria a all season long . Here are my final results thanks for reading.

So after another stellar season im considering ripping the team up again with 5 new nations, but with so many nations used up could I get a team that could win the title again. What nations do people think I should try any suggestions would be welcome. 

[Ashez]

Domination! 

When I tried to build my squad I attempted to use as many obscure nationalities as possible, issue was it was hard or impossible to find four players from such nations etc. "Starting again" now would be some task for sure, can't wait to see what you come up with.

Cheers mate, and Yh it's getting harder alright the choice of nations is slim pickings now but I'll see what I can come up with. Are you going to post any of your nation Locke attempt by any chance.

[Ashez]

Looking forward to it

Yes I will be posting mine at some point. Currently still without my laptop though so not a lot I can do as images are on that :(. I also need to post updates for my current careers so it might be a little while until I get around to it. Not sure I'd call mine an attempt as such, more of a trail run of the concept to see if it was possible before posting lol. 

[Mikee1984]

Will look forward to seeing how you got on mate.
