How's your FIFA 13 career mode going?

[Suntan Superman]

First, if you guys are talking about Lorenzo Insigne, he's a beast, for real(bought him in FM once)

Second, I started out at Nottingham Forest, and just accepted a transfer to Arsenal. Unfortunately, during the transfer, it appears as though my number has changed from my normal 88 to 13, and no matter how many times I "edit my pro" it doesn't stick with 88, Am I stuck being #13 at Arsenal?

PES transfer here, the ML was just boring even though fun on pitch.

I started with Orion's Sliders with a few adjustments(10 min halfs, WC level, Semi shot assist) to help me get used to game first. I am Dempsey fan so went with Spurs, strict board. Sold off over 30's for the most part, and strengthen the back line a bit. Also brought in Donovan, another favorite. Expectations are very high for all competitions, so should be difficult. Started BPL with a 0-0 draw at Newcastle, Wigan up next.

We shall see.

Well I read this about the League Cup: The winners qualify for the UEFA Europa League, unless they have qualified for the Champions League through their league position, in which case the Europa League berth goes to the highest-placed team from the Premier League not already qualified for Europe.

So you're right about the winners being the only one getting the bid, but I finished 8th in the Premier League so maybe somehow I was the next in line for the bid anyways? Otherwise, you are correct and the game just messed it up, or they put it in that way to just make it easier to work in.

I posted this in another thread, but I thought I'd share my career progress here too.

Suwon Bluewings
2012/13: 21-5-7 Lost in K-League final
2013/14: 21-9-3 Third place in K-League
2014/15: 24-2-6 K-League Champions
2015/16: 22-7-3 K-League Champions

SC Bastia
2016/17: 33-13-17 Third place in Ligue 2, gained promotion to Ligue1
2017/18: 15-4-13 Left the club in 10th place in Ligue 1

Liverpool
2017/18: 6-5-7 Finished 10th in BPL
2018/19: 16-3-0 Currently in second place in BPL

I simulated all of 2015/16 except for the K-League Championship, and most of the ending to the 2017/18 BPL season after I arrived at Liverpool.

My biggest transfer fee paid was $25.5M for Neymar, and biggest fee received was $21.5M for Shelvey. Both happened in my first and only transfer period so far with Liverpool.

I started a CM with Getafe CF with the intention of building the club into a La Liga powerhouse after a few seasons. I have only made one addition through the transfer window which was 25 year old Real Madrid striker Jose Callejon at 11 million dollars. After getting rid of some dead-weight I sent some of my younger players who at the moment would not find a place on the pitch for my squad out on season loans.

First La Liga match was against a very inspired Sevilla FC side that jumped out to a quick 2-0 advantage. At halftime, we found ourselves down 3-1 as the defense had been a complete letdown through the first 45'. My keeper seemed lost between the pipes, not recording a single save! The second half started with a bang as new addition Callejon netted his second goal of the match. In the 72' Callejon volleyed the equalizing goal past the keeper off a rebound, notching a hat trick in his first match with Getafe. Finally, to complete the historic comeback, in the 87' I took a corner that was punched by the keeper then volleyed back into the 18 and headed into the left corner giving my squad their first lead of the match, 4-3...which we held to the final whistle.

This match really showed that I need to take a serious look into my defensive depth after the atrocious first half we had. We have Real Madrid coming up after our next match vs RC Deportivo and we stand no chance if we can't tighten on the back end. Any suggestions on strengthen my defense? Formation change maybe? Currently running a 4-4-1-1. Thanks for the assistance!

Continuing on this...0-0 vs RC Deportivo, 2-2 vs. Real Madrid, 0-2 vs FC Barcelona...

After 4 matches (1-2-1) we currently sit mid-table (11th) with 5 points. I was very happy to escape the Real Madrid game with my one point because I was down 2-0 in the late stages of that match. My subs really provided the spark I so desperately needed. My keeper has been all but a total failure thus far, which is awful since the transfer window has closed.

Next up: @ Celta Vigo (16th)
I really need to take 3 points in this match to get my side back on the right foot.

*On a positive note, I am really enjoying this CM because it's more challenging than any I have played to this point.

Not much of a career, as I'm doing a season long tournament featuring all the nation cup winners from this past season. I'm playing as Liverpool (Winner of the League Cup). I'm currently sitting first in the group stages after the first half of group stage games. This also the first time I tried to document a season on OS, if it works out I'll try it with a Manager Mode.

Well, with my newly increased budget, for about 18M and a spare part player, I bought Bernard. 5* Skill, 90 sprint speed. 85 OVR and only about 24.

However, the first true star my club had, Kevin Peters, has requested a transfer. I'll see if I can keep him somehow as I'm right near the transfer window, but it seems a bit doubtful, and the board wants to move him. His value is near 20M so I'll bring in someone like Jores Okore, who I can hopefully get for 14M or so. I'd still like to move Ernesto Carazo. I had him for Mario Balotelli completed, but Balotelli didn't sign with us.

If I move Peters and Carazo I could have about 40M coming back.

EDIT: Sold Peters for 21M to FC Barcelona. Bought Okore for 14M. At the deadline, now it's time to move Carazo..
