I too am on '08, my team hasnt lost in 52 games now. In 2014 with Chelsea:


GK - Igor Akinfeev/Jesús Fernandez (Got to blood the Youngster.)
RB - Micah Richards/Sergio Ramos
LB - Marcelo/Fillipo Ghilardi/ Gael Clichy
DC - John Terry
DC - Vincent Kompany
DM - Antonio Cerrajero


I cover my LM, RM & AMC With these players:

Cristiano Ronaldo
Neri Cardozo
Gerrard
Nani
Ronaldinho
Arjen Robben
Kaká

My forwards are:
Rooney (covers AMC aswell)
Anderson ("")
Guiseppe Rossi ("")
Pablo Vitti
Cabral
David Villa
Daniel Sturridge.


I basically rotate on factors such as fitness, form etc.

Cabral, Sturridge, Ghilardi, Fernandez and Cerrajero Swap between 1st and reserves as they are still young (18-20). Cabral, Cerrajero and Sturridge are 3 you can get for cheap and turn into star players. I think many people know about Marcelo and Celsinho, I no longer have the lagtter as Juventus offered me 40 million for him.

Failed to win promotion with Forrest so left by "mutual consent" and a promise to not let the door hit me on the way out.

After a few months cooling my heels and doing the occasional book signing and punditry work I was offered the Roma job. I took over with 3 months of the season remain, little hope of doing anything as the team was fueding and fighting and was mid table and out of the champs league and italian cup. I came in, and managed to turn it round to a respectable 4th place finish.

The following year was better, a semi in the champs league, 2nd place in serie A and an italian cup win. My third year saw us crownd champs and a retaining the italian cup. however, we lost 3-1 in the champs league final against real madrid which was the only real blip on another wise great season.

Yep, done that before. Gutting if you lose in the final.

My mate employed his girlfriend as assistant manager, and made him sit next to her for all games.

How we all getting on? after time out from game, I'm only in April 2010 but the premier league looks signed and sealed as i have not lost and about to go into quarter final with Real Madrid for Champions League.

I also a few days before beginning of season sold half my backline including Ferdinand, vidic and Evra!
