I've almost finished my first season. It's taken ages, but I do only really play in spells.

I'm tenth and I'm looking going to finish there (only one game left). We've been playing much better in the second half of the season, it's just a shame we took so long to get going. Also, I've done really badly this season against the bigger teams. Aside from beating Chelsea at the SoL we've lost nearly all those games. Which doesn't bode well for my other remaining fixture, the FA Cup final against league leaders Manchester United. Not confident at all.

Gonna try hard to have a clear out in the summer. There's a few fringe players on £30k wages I want rid of - Fraizer Campbell, Elmohamady, Kieron Westwood - and a few I don't want come back from loans as well: George McCartney (I can tell he'll be hard to get shot of), Riveros and Gyan. Should be able to get a good price for him at least. I've got a couple of others like Nosworthy out of contract as well and Bendtner is going back to Arsenal after his loan so it'll be all change for next season. Might try and sell Cattermole as well, I don't like him. I'd like Bendtner back but he's scored 20 goals this season so it'll cost big money. At least Owen has started scoring now.

Right then, so what's the plan for this challenge then. Are we talking about taking a team from say the championship up and then onto winning the title? Or maybe taking an unfancied side from a weaker division and winning the league with them, for example somebody other then Celtic/Rangers in Scotland or somebody other then Sporting, Benfica or Porto in Portugal?

Aren't we all playing a shared saved game, taking off the bottom team in January to see who can get the highest in the table - I think that's the best idea

Jesus... I signed a bunch of youth players, and figured i'd download one of those editors so you can see the potential ability of players. Turns out I signed someone with a potential ability of 199.

Anyone bought the iOS version of this? Is it any good?

I'm planning to start the Challenge on Tuesday, if that's okay with all?

(Maybe give a week for the transfer window too? A day seems a tad harsh!)

I'll start simming the save now.

Sweet. What rules are we having? Is there anyway to prove/disprove allegations of match quitting? Also, I haven't used this feature yet but as you can load extra leagues into your game, what's to stop you adding an obscure league just to sign cheap but class players nobody else knows of?

Also why not start just before the FA cup starts in Jan? Would give players who are better then me the chance to win some silverware to really show off!
