How long does take you lads to complete a season usually?

I've only got three leagues loaded but it feels like it's taking an age to get through. My laptop is okay but as someone who likes to play the game at a decent rate it feels like a bit of a slog at the moment.
8 hours or so, im not too sure...

All depends on how in depth you are really

Im same have about 13 leagues loaded on an i7.

Takes me about 4 hours per half season so sept till jan 1st.

Jan 1st till preseason. I dont tend to play full seasons in one session anymore. Also i slow down in preseason as i take my time over signings.

Magnus Wolf Eikram im proud of signing so far as hes not been listed on any forums and i found him dirt cheap at 1m and now worth 12m.

A week at least. Cons of playing network careers.
 
Third with Darlington in my first season with about ten games to go, shame we've decided to be shite away from home and lose four of our last five but we're still only three points from top. Also in the FA Trophy semi finals with the second leg at home to come after a 1-1 draw away to Lincoln (2nd in the league above) away from home. Beaten three Conference National teams despite me sending out weak teams to try and get knocked out every round so we don't have to play a game every three f***ing days. Every round has gone to a replay to make it worse as well.

Just managed to sign Liam Agnew on a free from Boston where he was on a non-contract to become the third MLF at the club, probably my three best players as well. A 6'5 target man with 12 for heading, 18 for jumping and 14 for strength is quite handy at Conference North level :lol:
 
Finally got round to starting my Crewe game.

Top of the league after 5 games on 15 points having won 5 & lost 1.

Top scorer is George Cooper with 10 in 6 off the left wing :cool:

Sold Callum Ainley to Burnley for 1.1m rising to 1.3m. turned the Sunderland bid down as I thought they were wasting their money :lol:

Also sold James Jones to Derby for 400k rising to 850k.

I bought David Wheeler 56k and Netan Sansara for 11k with the rest being free transfers.

Got a senior affiliation with Southampton and brought in Josh Sims & Olufela Olomola on loan.

Out of the League Cup after getting beat of Bournemouth away 2-0.

I have him as a sub striker for Fenerbache, prolific when needed.
 
Just came from 3-1 down in the first leg of the play off semi final to win 4-3 and then followed it up with a 3-0 win away from home with Darlo to reach the final. Played Worcester who finished above me so we had to play the game at their ground (seems a strange rule), went 1-0 down in the 65th minute but equalised straight away. The league's top scorer who I've tried to sign three times before/during the season missed a sitter for them with three minutes to go and we went up the other end in the same highlight and my right back drilled it across goal and in off their defender to send us into the Conference :D

Also reached the FA Trophy final but lost to Eastleigh who had already walked the Conference and been promoted to League 2. My best centre half has a first touch attribute of 1 so that kinda says how shite most of my squad are so can't really complain at promotion and reaching a cup final at Wembo. Been given a whopping £9.5k p/w wage budget for the Conference and already been turned down by a full back playing for Shildon so this next season is gonna be fun.
 
Got into champions league playing 532 counter attack wingbacks with Burnley in my first season
 
Wing backs are a must like, got them on my Swansea team in a network career in a 4-2-3-1. Currently 2nd in league & in the QF of the Europa league :cool:
I play 3 centre halfs and 2 wingbacks nobody could handle my style of play

Won the League Cup first season with the lads then the League the second season
I've been doing fine since then with a 4-2-3-1 like
 
How do you download all of the lower leagues? Tried locating the fmf file but don't have a clue what to do with it :lol::cry:
 
Well that was quite an eventful end to my first season in charge at Fenerbache. Got the squad under the wage budget, relying on a couple of squad filler loans which then makes the FGN limit difficult. Odegaard stand out though, I find it refreshing for an AMC to actually work on a FM.

Past half way through the season and after whimpering out of the Champions League I manage to put a good run of form together and get the club top by 6 points.

Throughout the season I've made sure I have attended pre and post match press conferences as that came up in my interview for this job and i don't want it to scupper my future job.

Once hitting top though my away form went to shit, a draw was a good result with how things were going. Same could be said for the other title contender, Galatasary. With it in mind that I just needed to keep within 3 points of them as I played them at home final game of season.

Having played the 2nd last match of the season, a 0-0 draw against Adana, with Odegaard missing a late penna the table sees a new side top of the league for the first time of the season! Bursaspor...where on earth have the crept up from?!

Go into the last match of the season and beat Galatasary 4-3 but Bursaspor also beat Konyaspor which sees them lift the title and leaves me with a harder task of getting into group stages of Champions League.

Quite the finish and not one to be happy about. Having moved on from Rijeka after lifting the Croatian title after one season this means I will have to remain in Turket for hopefully just one more year.

I will have to check but I hope Odegaard was a loan until 'End of Next Season'.
 
Best centre half out suspended so gave a kid his debut away to Lincoln. Lost 4-1, gave a penalty away and got sent off. Before I even made a sub to bring another centre half on I'd already gone onto his profile and terminated his contract. Wanker.
