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 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 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.

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…)
Auxerre: The Aftermath
Auxerre: Summer Arrivals
Well, with all of those players buggering off to play for bigger clubs, Lo Celso aside, I had a big job on my hands to try and replace them with capable replacements. We obviously had a huge transfer budget now, but I wanted to keep things sensible. (more…)
