Rolled out my "let's go to the fireworks factory" lineup for the first time in career mode and it did not disappoint.

Carrasco---Lukaku---Deulofeu
Draxler---Goretzka---Sane
Willems---Tah---Rugani---Coleman
Blanco

Scored on my first attack. Almost scored on the second attack. Chances all over the shop. Led 5-1 at halftime away to Palace, who somehow are in the Champions League*. Cruised from there.

Next game I put 12 on Bournemouth. Unreal speed and skill up front.

* - Rangers and Mainz are also in the CL while Real Madrid, Chelsea, Dortmund, and Man City are all in the Europa League! Unbelievable.

Fifa That.
 

I started a career mode with CD Everton in Chile, it was alright, but there is no real money in the Chilean league, so did about 2 seasons there, then moved to Cruzeiro in Brazil, did quite well there, but I've now moved on to the Russian league with Zenith.

One thing that was annoying in the South American leagues is that the South American champions league is so poor and not really like the actual Copa Libatadores, and I don't even think that the secondary South American competition even exists in FIFA. Also when you win it it doesn't count as a major trophy you have won on your managerial record and the prize money for it is poor, less than £5m, I got more for one of the preseason tournaments that I won. Also you don't get to play in the FIFA world club, which I am a bit surprised is not in FIFA the game!

By comparison the money at Zenith is mental, I took over an aging team, most of the good players were 30+, but still worth money and I had a transfer budget of £200m. So I am currently trying to ship out the old men and dead wood and bring in younger, better players

I've found moving clubs awkward at times though, there are no available clubs at the end of the season or the start of the season and you don't get approached for league jobs, just national teams. I preferred the old system on FIFA where you could move at the end of the season and if you were a good manager you could pick from pretty much any league, I like to build a team, win a few things and move on to a new league, that's difficult to do in this version
 
Everton liked and then unliked a post from a professional FIFA player on Twitter

Oh dear, it's happening.

200 million at Zenit, bloody hell!

Like the window I just had - ManU bought up Paulo Dybala for £80 million, then decided you know what, that's not enough and spent another £55 million on Harry Kane! They finished with a net spend in the vicinity of £230 million and no outgoings.

Meanwhile I spent the rest of my Barkley money (he wanted out the previous window and City gave me a ludicrous fee), sold my #1 keeper for huge cash to get my young academy phenom into the squad, and bought Carrasco and Sane. Then I picked up Mbappe for cheap even though I have no idea how I'm ever going to get him on the pitch.

Sane is an absolute gamebreaker, by the way. 99 sprint speed and a rocket shot. Highly recommend throwing whatever it takes at City for him.

Gave up on Fifa after I had Mbappe, Martial and Mor playing for Portsmouth in the Champions League. It was getting too ridiculous.
