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…)
Auxerre: Season 10
Season 9 was a big one in many ways for the club. It was our final season at Stade Abbé Deschamps and we had new owners looking after us. On the pitch, we were a bit shit at times and it lead to me changing tactics and style. (more…)
Season 9 Goal Drought!
Here we go, season 9. I’ll admit, I’ve become a bit sluggish at writing just now. Not through lack of enjoyment, quite the opposite. I’m enjoying playing as Auxerre very much and the only gripe I’ve got is that I’m getting pissed off at my tactics not working as I expect they should. (more…)
Season 8!
It’s been a wee while since my last update, but it’s the festive season so FM has taken a bit of a back seat. I’m slowly getting back to having some play time though and it’s time I filled you in with the news from my 8th season. (more…)
