That lasted until the end of the first season, where I had both a player in the youth academy who could replace him (Emilio Jardim - 61-65 OVR, 87-93 POT 14 year old CAM/CM/CF) and got a $50.5 million offer from Real Madrid. Sucked to sell him but it made no sense to keep him. Short summary; season one - Sold Ganso to Juventus, bought Denilson to replace him - Bought Dede - Finished 3rd, Neymar and Andre #1 and #2 in the league in goals - Denilson finishes #1 in assists Off-Season - Sold Neymar to Real Madrid for $50.5 million - Sold Denilson to Udinese for $10 million The problem I had was figuring out what to do with all the Neymar money. I try to keep things somewhat realistic so I thought bringing Brazilians back to Brazil made the most sense. My defense was hugely shaky until Dede came along last season so I tried to fix that.. - Replaced Denilson with Casemiro - Bought Danilo for $8.5 million - Bought Alex Sandro for $8 million - Bought Rever for $3.6 million Replacing Neymar was hard, I picked up Deulofeu from Barca B as a direct positional replacement, and bought Robinho for $9.9 million to try and replace his goalscoring. I thought it was kinda cool to bring Robinho back to Santos for a couple of years until Jardim is old enough to come into the squad. Also picked up Adryan because I remember him getting really good in another game I had going. Still have $20 million left but I don't think I'll spend it.

Fourteen games into season two at Santos. It's been weird not having Neymar, I pretty much had to completely restructure the team because I was trying to play the same as I was previously and it wasn't working. Now it looks like this..

RAPHAEL

REVER
DEDE ---- ALEX SANDRO

CASEMIRO ------ GABRIEL

L. PIAZON ----------------- DANILO

ADRYAN

ROBINHO ---------
ANDRE

It's working well, the defenders are quick enough to let me play three and Casemiro sweeps everything up in front of them. Piazon was starting at CAM with Adryan on the bench and Deulofeu at LM but Adryan has been improving so quickly (74-77) that I couldn't keep him out of the team.

Robinho plays just off Andre but makes a lot of runs forward while Andre kinda holds the line. Adryan floats around the middle doing whatever he wants.

Ladder:
1 - Santos - 35 points
2 - Corinthians - 33 points
3 - Sao Paulo - 33 points

Goalscorers:
1 - Andre (Santos) - 11
2 - Edenilson (Botafogo) - 11
3 - Robinho (Santos) - 10

Assists:
1 - Robinho (Santos) - 7
2 - Andre (Santos) - 7
3 - Lucas Piazon (Santos) - 6

The only notable signing I've made was Iago Aspas who is pretty useless. I'll try to sell him off when I can.

Finally starting Season 2 of my West Ham career, going through some transfer options. Got my first really tough transfer to think about with a generous offer for Captain Kevin Nolan, definitely will be tough to potentially let him leave as the leader of the team. Can't wait to start the season against Birmingham City and improve on our 8th place finish from last year.

Man did I goof in my FC Dallas career. I had a transfer offer accepted for ST Richmond Boakye, so I let one of the two that I use go to Montreal on loan to keep developing with playing time. Turns out Boakye isn't going to accept any contract offer I give him, so now I'm left with only one striker. It's not too big of a deal, since my team uses a 4-2-3-1 but it really sucks that he wouldn't accept.

I did bring in Kurt Zouma (CB), who has solid potential and really helps my defense. I've still got a little to work with so I'm going to try to bring in a veteran ST who is around $5 million and a 75 overall. Then I'll probably use whatever I have left on a scout or two since all I have now is a 1*.

you can recall your loaned player. might cost you some money but nothing that will break you financially

Reggie Lambe from Toronto has something ridiculous like 97 speed for me.

the EA servers keep disconnecting during games, which isn't giving me the XP I've earned... and I'm SO close to a billionaire take over. This is really pissing me off.

Don't get your hopes too high for the financial takeover.. When I tried to apply mine nothing happened. It took the right amount of EAFC away and the game says I've bought the financial takeover, but I never received any money. Not sure if the same will happen to you, but apparently it's a common glitch.

Wow, that sucks. I sincerely hope that doesn't happen to me, lol, but I have decent enough luck with glitches.

I figured out the disconnect problem, too. Just don't do anything during the pre-game skill games and it won't disconnect. I've played about 4 straight games without a single disconnect.

Random question, how do I buy classic kits and stuff? Idk how to spend the money in this game.
