So I completed the second season with Barca by winning 4/4 titles in my first save. I'm looking for a challenge, but instead of leaving Barca, I'm going to start another fresh save. I want to manage a team in England (doesn't matter the division). I need suggestions.

Southampton

Accrington

Wigan Athletic, quite a strong team, poor rep though.

No. I would suggest posting an introduction, so you can introduce yourself. I shall fetch you the link in a moment.

i've only ever found 1 Wigan fan on every forum i have visited, also thanks Liverpool.

Sorry for takng this offtopic ahly, but as i said, if you want a challenge, Wigan are a good team compared to how we play in real life. Moses is fantastic on FM.

Wigan.

I'll choose Wigan and resign Zaki.

This should be fun. I basically don't know anything about Wigan...

Wigan

Make sure you play Jordi Gomez

After spending some time studying the squad, here is my list of 25 players...

Pollitt
Al-Habsi
Nicholls
Boyce
Gohouri
Figueroa
Caldwell
Alcaraz
Piscu
Stam
van Aanholt
Myler
McCarthy
Thomas
Diame
Gomez
Watson
McArthur
Crusat
Maloney
McManaman
Moses
Rodallega
Sammon
di Santo

Here is my formation...

I still haven't made any thoughts about transfers yet. I'll do that when I come back from work. But here is my budget...

Wage: £21.3M (£18.2M currently)
Transfer: £5M

No Jordi Gomez i am dissapoint.

You should try and get a right back and a CM to replace Watson.

Caldwell is solid so keep hold of him if you can.

Gomez made the 25-man squad, but he isn't good enough right now to make the bench even, according to my team report. It might change later on.

That's exactly the team I used when I played FIFA with Wigan.

Pre-Season Report

Moses was the best player in the pre-season in my opinion. I'm still unsure about who is a better between di Santo and Sammon. My expectation in the league is to avoid relegation, which I think I can easily do. My expectation in the Carling Cup is at least a 4th round finish and a 5th round finish in the FA Cup. Those expectations seem a bit harder, but we will see. Rodagella was injured for a couple of matches in the pre-season, but the top scorer of the pre-season was James McCarthy with 4 goals.

Nobody was sold or loaned out, but I did manage to bring in Jack Robinson on a season long loan. I payed an initial £100K + 100% of his salary (£100K). I'll try to purchase him when his loan is over.

Results

Spoiler:

Lets hope your Bad luck in Injuries doesn't carry over from your Barca save, everyone in your team seemed to get injured

Di Santo

First victory of the season. I'm much more tactically active with Wigan than I was with Barca.

I feel so dirty for scoring a goal and trying to sit back to defend my lead.

Egypt U20 lost to Australia on penalties in the 3rd place match at the U20 World Cup.

Very nice start to the season

Did you play your reserves against Derby?

My 1 goal difference victories And what a bullet of a shot from Stam...

No.

Damn where are you in the league? you should aim for top 7
