Welcome back to “Brits Abroad”, a series where I’m trying to build an entirely British team at Benfica and hopefully dominate the game. So far, that hasn’t really been the case, but it’s early days in the grand scheme of things and we’re firing on three fronts as you join us in part 6. Who thought we’d get as far as a 6th part? I know I didn’t. Anyway, it’s the end of season 2 and we have it all to play for. So let’s get to it…
#FM16 #GoingLocoGoingZacaPolco
I’ve been quiet for a while, those of you that keep an eye on my movements might have noticed. It has been a period of reflection in life and FM. Are you sitting comfortably? Then let us begin…
CLASSIC CHAMPIONSHIP MANAGER : BRITS ABROAD PART V
Welcome back. Who thought we’d get as far as part 5? Not me, and not Brian Deane. I thought we’d be mid table by now but we’re actually better than that, I think I overestimated much of the Portuguese league. Anyway, we sit 4th and still in Europe, so let’s get on with it.
#FM16 #BohemiansRhapsody : Because I'm easy come, easy go
Welcome back to the end of season run in. We have six games to go and I am excited. Promotion is all but sorted, but we could even win the league. Altach are faltering, St Polten are inconsistent and somehow we are on a bit of a run. Hell, I’ve even stopped tinkering with the tactics!
#FM16 : #BohemiansRhapsody : Diamonds are Forever
As you may have noticed from my last update, I am on the verge of a tactical mental breakdown. I am all over the place, changing things every couple of games in the search for something that makes me enjoy FM16 again. At the end of the last update, I was back on my CM93/94 tactic and it had won back to back matches.
#FM16 #BohemiansRhapsody : Just one big ramble, really
December, and we are top of the table. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, press pack. Yeah, I am still a little hacked off that the press believe “the jury is still out” on my time at Bohemians. Sod you, we are top and I have brought back #TheArgentineStrikerless with aplomb.
CLASSIC CHAMPIONSHIP MANAGER : BEYOND YOUR WILDEST REIMS
He may have been missing for a while, but he and his partner have a had a baby. We’ll let him off, and Luke Davis is back to remind us of what has been going on in France. What do you mean you can’t remember the series? Go and read Part One, Part Two and Part Three now!
CLASSIC CHAMPIONSHIP MANAGER : BRITS ABROAD PART IV
Hello! Season two is often tricky for any manager, just ask the author of this very web page who felt so strongly about the second season syndrome he named a book after it.
#FM16 #BohemiansRhapsody : I’m just a poor boy, nobody loves me (and a tactical meltdown)
It’s November already, and it already feels shambolic before we step on to the park for a match. Let’s recap, shall we?
#FM16 #BohemiansRhapsody : All we need is…
October, October. Is this the month Arsenal traditionally gimp it in the Premier League? I can never remember. Anyway, we start the month in the promotion places and we have four league matches ahead of us plus the treat of the Cup 3rd Round to finish the update.
