Everybody is super excited about FM19 and it’s difficult not to be. Having played the Beta for the past two weeks, there are so many new features in the game that I’m still uncovering them as days go by. (more…)

Bundesliga Squad Building
Having gained promotion to the Bundesliga at the first time of asking, this transfer window was going to be a very important one. We lacked quality and depth in certain areas, we need to improve, not overhaul. As I start this post, I’m still not certain on the system I’ll be using and thus, can’t be sure about the types of players I’ll require. I’ll be weighing up the options I have available and explaining my decision making process. (more…)
FM18: 1.FC Union Berlin
With each edition of Football Manager, it gets harder to pick a side or find a side that I can have a connection with for a save. The last two editions of FM have been based around reviving the fortunes of Auxerre in France. I enjoyed taking a team who had fallen on harder times and bringing them to the very top of the game. Coming up from a lower division and establishing the club as a European powerhouse always makes for a enjoyable challenge. (more…)
FM17 Auxerre: 33/34 Perfection?
Welcome back, I know, I feel like I’m churning through seasons just now. My house move has been delayed so I’m cramming in the seasons! No long introduction here, lets just dive into the transfer business for the season! (more…)
FM17 Auxerre 32/33
The year after a Champions League win is always a difficult one I think. How do you improve your squad? What happens when the big clubs come calling? The World Club Cup throws your team a few games behind etc. (more…)
FM17 Auxerre Transfers & Players
I promised more, so I’m delivering more! I don’t know why I stopped playing this save, it’s so good. I bloody love the challenge in France. PSG, Lyon, Monaco, Marseille, Montpellier.. some lovely teams with some great players. Make no mistake, PSG are bastards! (more…)
FM17 Auxerre 2031/32
We’ve skipped into the future a wee bit since my last seasonal update. Lots of players have moved on etc. We’d won the last three titles as PSG have had a few off years. This is currently the longest that any side have broken PSG’s league winning run since 2012/13. (more…)
FM17 More Auxerre
Hello, remember me? Yes, it has been a long time since I last wrote about FM and indeed my Auxerre save. Forgive me. After the success I had in the last couple of seasons, I had sort of worn myself out of FM. I really wasn’t enjoying playing and I think that translated into my writing a bit too. (more…)
The Best In France? No.
Season 10 was a delightful one, great football, new stadium and another couple of trophies in the bag. In a slight change of stance, I decided I was at the stage where I didn’t feel I had to sell players anymore. We were financially sound and unless it was an unrealistic amount, I didn’t want to sell my main men. (more…)
A Decade In Auxerre
Ten years, flippin’ hell, I need to get out more and do some work! Never thought I’d make ten years if I’m honest. Still got mega save paranoia after what happened in FM16. I’ve not needed to call in the backups yet, but there are many! (more…)
