How's your FIFA 13 career mode going?

[Get Blunted]

I tried to use the financial takeover in my SC Bastia career but it didn't work. I bought it, but it just never applied to my career. So pissed off about that...

I paid too much for James, but I sold a lot of dead wood to make up for it. January I sold Santi Cazorla to Real Madrid for €42,000,000 and almost got Luis Suarez for 15 M, but Bayern Munich acted like a douche and got him. I want to buy a CAM and a striker with good heading ability and at least 80 speed and acceleration. Giroud isn't working for me. I have €40m to spend for the CAM and the striker. Any Ideas?

Raid Dortmund. get Reus and Gotze. Or instead of Reus maybe hit Real and get Benzema.

So I started a new CM with Cardiff City and started off by bringing in two of my favorite MLS players, Dominic Oduro and Austin Berry. Having a bit of a struggle to start my new campaign. My league objective is to gain promotion and I was unable to hold onto my early 1-0 lead vs Exeter City losing 2-1 with the winner coming on an 89' strike. My squad then took on Huddersfield and blew a 2-0, barely escaping with 1 point in a 2-2 draw. Obviously I need to take a look at bringing in some more efficient defenders before the transfer window closes.

On the plus side, my addition Oduro, has scored all 3 goals for my squad which has been exceptional!

I am thinking about bringing in a CDM to strengthen my defensive midfield at the end of a match when I am holding a small lead. I have around 4 mil in transfer budget currently (12,000 wage). Any suggestions on who to try to bring to the club?

I got Reus and Gotze in my last career mode so I didn't want to buy them. And Bor. Dortmund wanted 55M for Gotze. I decided to get Eriksen for 18 million, and Jovetic for a lot of money + a player.

55M for Gotze? Ouch! Eriksen for 18M is really good deal IMO. Jovetic is a good one and will score goals. Great choices. Good Luck.

I decided once the transfer window opens in January, I'm going to try and sell Neymar. He doesn't fit my Liverpool system. I found a promising talent in Sean Murray and with Suarez, and Downing, he reaching his potential quickly. Also with Sterling, and Yesil, I don't see Neymar fitting no more.

I picked him up in July, so hopefully I can flip him and sell him.

I'm considering leaving Manchester United despite the fact that I worked so hard to become prestigious enough to get a job offer from them. It's just too easy. I have over $100,000,000 to spend on transfers and over $600,000 to spend on wages and my starting lineup is still almost all 80's and 90's.

It's hard though because there's two guys that I've brought to every team that I've managed and developed them, I've developed 2 or 3 other guys that I signed from my Man U youth squad and they're now starters, and I want to land an international gig with the U.S., England, France, etc. (I'm with Portugal right now).

I don't know, I'll be checking out what managing jobs open up as I go through the season and see if anything interests me. Part of me wishes I hadn't left AJ Auxerre for Man U.

Going into Inter Milan Second season. Started out with 2 draws in league play, a Europa Cup win, Lost in first round of Copa Nazzionale AGAIN, and started out with a game 1 victory in Champions cup vs. PSV

After Transfers My Roster Currently sits

Subs
CF - Ibarbo
CF - Palacio
LB - Mbaye
CM - Obi
CAM - Coutinho
ST - Longo or 17year old Caldiera
CB - Bianchetti

Reserves
Jonathan - RB
Longo - ST
Duncan - CM
Some 16-17 year olds at CM, RM positions

Have about $39 Mil for Transfers left

Most of my youth is loaned out with the exception of a 6'6" 5 star skill striker 17 year old out of Portugal I believe, and a 16 year old 6'6" 5 Star Skilled CDM out of Germany . There's also another CDM with 2 star skilled but great handling and a little more speed, and a RM/RW that is practically useless with no handling, speed or skills. None are rated higher than 60 however the ST and CDM that are 6'6" I do have success when I do insert them in the lineup and play the match. The ST has about 3 magnificent goals thus far , and the CDM is just a big dude towering over anyone in the midfield.

I'm in better form with Coutinho playing as the CF/CAM in place of Wilshere . With the draws and losses, it's discouraging because each game should have been won but between Goalkeepers making miraculous 1 on 1 saves, or hitting about 4 or 5 posts already , we are to a slower than expected start.
