Two transfers for Team Error, Rio Ferdinand is sold, and in comes John Terry. We also sell Frank Lampard, and buy Southamptons Lallana.

Yes I have gone down the two transfers route as well... -4 points to start the weekend but I don't feel I have much choice. Eriksen was poo against FC Sheriff [:(]. Just wish I could get Hazard in the team too....[&:]

It might cost me. But after last week I'm not making nay changes, with the spare cash I'd have I don't think that any of the players who are available would actually improve the team. Of course, I'll probably be regretting that by 1700 on Saturday...

Wow - there's a real four-way fight going on at the top of the table [X(].

It's incredibly close and plenty of potential points still to be won tomorrow though.

If only I could choose a proper captain I would be in a whole lot better position...[:@]

Who has been lucky enough to pick Suarez as Captain???

Another competent start, just need a few players to perform to make it a good week.

I quite dislike the "Captain Rule", as it gives a single player performance way to much impact.
But I know some will disagree here. [:D]

I agree - but then I would as my captain picks have been generally rubbish [;)]

Eh? What happened? Perhaps you did not go to the Confirm Transfers screen?

I like the idea, but the implementation could be better served in a different way I think. Perhaps just doubling any bonus points earned but leaving the normal points gained alone. When we make our own game we'll be able to do what we want [:D]

Dropped to 4th after this weekend [:(] I need a week with a really good captain's performance - it makes such a difference.

Waddya know, go on holiday for 10 days and I'm top of the league.

Just like Burnley!

I love Luis Suarez, well when I say love I couldn't eat a whole one

No transfers for me this week for the first time. Not because I'm confident in my team, but because any transfers I want to do involves a second 4-point cost... did that last week. I need my captain to do the biz for once.

Same here. But I strongly believe that my team has to be "wildcarded" very soon.

Expecting a quite disappointing weekend.

I'm still on FM2013. I might pick up the new one in the sales, but generally speaking Football Manager games (and Championship Manager before that) have tended to be quite buggy until 2-3 patches have been released.

I've just started at Borussia Mochengladbach after being fired by Dortmund. I started off in the bottom division in Norway, so I can't complain too much [:)]

2011 I used to start there as the local team was in the game, and it was a lot of fun looking at the stats of the guys I went to school with, friends and people you got drunk with at the local pub [:D]

Aguerroooooooooooo! [&o] [:D] Should've picked him as my captain. Still, Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey are continuing to prod buttock and take names [:)]

I started there (at Egersund) because they offered me the job after I started the game unemployed. I got promoted up to the Tippeligaen and yoyo'd for a couple of seasons before moving on to Denmark, then France, the Netherlands and Germany.
