How's your FIFA 13 career mode going?

In my case, Manchester City beat me in the League Cup final, but as they already have a Champions League place, I get their spot but have to win a 2-leg qualifier to get into the Euro League.

It's similar to how Bradford City could get a Euro League bid despite being in nPower League 2 due to them being in the finals of the League Cup, and if they win it they will get that bid.

A runner-up in the League Cup can NOT get a Europa League spot in the real world. FA Cup yes, League Cup no. League Cup you have to win. A mistake in the game.

Hm I made a long post about season two of my Santos game but got some message about mods having to approve it, that was days ago.

Anyway cliffs:

- Won the league by 20 points
- Andre/Robinho lead the league in goals
- Rejected all offers for Lucas Piazon and Raphael
- Forced to sell Dede (85 OVR) to Real Madrid for 20 million
- Replaced Dede with Luiz Eduardo
- Bought Lorenzo Insigne (Italian but awesome attributes) to replace Robinho who is off contract at the end of the season
- Sold Iago Aspas (who actually became quite good) to At. Mineiro

I have probably too many good young players in my team, I'm trying to loan them out but no one is biting. Probably 5-6 guys with 85-92 potential, it's hard getting them all game time so I'm not really buying anyone. Insigne was just a signing I made to keep myself interested in the game, I'll probably shift Robinho to the left wing or something.

Also if anyone wants a young/big/agile poacher you could do a lot worse than Andre. He's developed into an 82 OVR for me and feels a lot like Demba Ba in game. He's brilliant.

I bought that Insigne guy in my Arsenal save to use as a super-sub and I scored a second half hat trick with him on his debut.

I got lucky!

My budget is now at 61M. Not bad. Plus, I'll be selling someone for roughly another 22M. This is great. I'll finally be able to buy quality players, haha.

That's great!

I'm going to try it again when I get to level 26, even though I took a job offer from Liverpool and won't need it as much.

Question: What part of the year did you buy it? During a transfer period?

No, I bought it in early April. (I play in the MLS and I'm not sure if the EPL has the same transfer periods as the MLS)

I have my eyes set on some big names with my new found cash. Balotelli, Mackay-Steven, Hoilett, some of those guys worth 20+ million.

He's a bit ridiculous, I've scored 5 in 2 games with him so far and he's already gone from 79>80.
