Superb growth of the club mate, financially and league wise! Great second season, best of luck in Europe


Cheers Dan been a huge financial increase, we are still in £100m debt from the owners but can't be much longer till a takeover happens

Some great signings there mate money well spent, Guillavogui & Aranguiz could be a fantastic pairing in midfield both excellent although with Frei & Loftus-Cheik as well you're well stocked in there, Moreno should be a good buy, clinical finisher guaranteed to get you goals.


Got a story update happening soon, midfield has done well very disappointed in Moreno though! We have a alot of depth which is good

Have you got an agreed fee in the loan deal for Loftus-Cheek this time? Seems every year you get him he plays out of his skin but his value goes up and up, notice in previous posts Chelsea wanted £15m for him.

Looks like some good signings and looking forward to seeing what this season brings.


I got him on loan for a 3rd time, I haven't been able to afford him until this summer I put a £25m bid in but he didn't want to join... I left it a few weeks then Chelsea wanted £45m! Had to bring him on loan again

Season 3 - The beginning

General

It's not been the greatest of starts to the campaign but we have a lot going on atm and still in all competitions, I am disappointed with some of performances of certain players, but we have got some big wins along the way! Also nice to see my youth facilities developing.

Europa League

It's been a very tough competition and we were handed the hardest group, but puts a lot of excitement into the game! We had a fantastic following to Russia with about 700 fans travelling the distance. We was very unlucky to draw to Stuttgart they scored a 90th minute goal for a 1-1 first result at home. We played our first European way game in Russia where we was destroyed by Moscow, that was followed by a game in Turkey against a good Fenerbahce side and came away with 3 points. We have 2 home games of the final 3 and joint of qualification!

Premier League

It's been a disappointing start to our second season in the Premier league, Injuries are a huge problem on this game I used a engine on FM15 because I think they are very unrealistic they happen far too often. I have 3 right backs currently and they are all injured! Donati in out for up to 6 months which is a problem. Niang best performing player this season so far has hit an injury, I thought I had good depth in the squad but it's a growing problem. It's good news for Loftus-Cheek though after 2 seasons on loan he has finally had his England call up!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/RmbJrfCgr9bTJ59RSb3jCbrWKUj42gR7axkVn7Ht.jpg

We had a great start to the Premier league and had some tough opposition along the way, Moreno has been a huge disappointment so far costing me £15m and scoring 1 goal, Rhodes took awhile to get going too only scoring 4 goals all season so far currently sitting in 10th I hope this changes soon!

Anyway! looking forward to the next coming games with some easier opposition and to see how the Europa league group
stage is going to finish.

Season 3 - Becoming hard work

General

Again this season is becoming a struggle in the premier league but doing well in other competitions, squad depth isn't a issue or been fatigue we are dropping points at home and I'm beginning to mess around with tactical change that hasn't really been much of a issue in the past! Players aren't performing to satisfaction and with the January transfer arrived some big changes will occur and despite of player reputation!

Premier league

So after 20 games we are sitting 11th in the league with only 4 wins in our last 10 games. I did win manager of the month of November going undefeated and recently somehow managed a 2-0 win against top of the league Arsenal it's amazing to think how we are 11th... it's definitely a much harder season this year.

Capital one/ FA Cup
We were very unfortunate to get knocked out the next round of the cup with a 1-0 loss to Liverpool, Firmino with a goal on the 83rd minute, But the FA Cup is upon us and we have Middlesbrough in the 3rd round, so let's hope of a decent cup run!

UEFA Europa League

The most successful competition we are competing in this season we I wouldn't have expected! We only just qualified by a point, but cant complain as I wasn't expected to qualify! We have Galatasaray in the next round and either Lyon or Brugge in the round after that! I do hope to qualify and push as far as possible in this competition!

Our position in the premier league has to improve dramatically, Valdez and Rhodes have been the most disappointing this season with Niang flying high this season with a average rating of 8.13 seems to be buy of the season so far!

January Transfer Window - 2017/18

There was a lot of transfer activity taking place for a winter window as I needed the strengthen the squad and cash in on some players before value dropped and I am very pleased with the results!

Transfers in

Christopher Oikonomidis - £6M

After a very successful loan spell 10 goals and 5 assists in 19 games... I had to snap the young Austrilian up! he's a hidden
gem averaging 7.62 at 22 years old hes the perfect solution for the left wing! he was worth around £3M when he first
signed on loan he's now worth £14.5M!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/9oOuJJk5mbFSDEcdNLtBYnypISl7Yh4OVanijgmf.jpg

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/j05z28HnDYRzxTq6wZ3CpkBvWySnS7ZsEMdQaklh.jpg

Alphonse Areola - 900K

As mentioned the Goalkeeping position has been very week and Valdes has been very disappointing this season, Raya is first
team atm and putting in some fantastic shifts! But I managed to grab this lad for a steal of £900k from PSG! absolute bargain
he's young cheap wages and was averaging a 7.51 in the PSG reserves.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/CDoCTXWhg1e2ZfWzfwLN3D529Q7WnIYWq6cFL6xq.jpg

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/gIORJKjYooh1m0uSPOgomKDYlUKwQoQRpFwRbR0i.jpg

Andrea Petagna - Loan

Another position that needed strengthening was the forward position Andrea was the best player on the loan market valued at
£4.4M he currently plays for AC Milan and had very successful loan spells in the Serie A perfect addition as a back up for
Moreno

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/BnWn96rRLSkNwbEtL17z3D5DdiS8MOZhHSmqQa9A.jpg

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/EsNmFMCGgjljS7B3Zh5u18uF31L4oCi8BoRRlD3H.jpg

Karim Rekik - £5.5M

Cant believe I got this wonderkid for so cheap he's valued at £11.25M aged 23 and is a current Dutch squad! He's been Ajax's
best defender this season rating 7.18 in 22 matches! He'll become the key for the centre defence, he has fantastic physical
attributes and I'm looking forward to see how he does.

Transfers Out

There was a big money move for Jordan Rhodes to Wolves, sad to see him go but his value and performance was dropping and we managed to
receive a lovely sum of £10.5M delighted with the sale, Valdes also left I cashed in on him while I could last season he
conceded 22 goals in 28 appearances, this season he has already conceded 22 goals in 18 appearances and was very poor at
35 £500k is a great sale, also from selling Rhodes and Valdes I freed up £100k in wages!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/hu8YKKhNrSg9XJf3K8NxzOnyfVqVCuMC9gqzov9a.jpg

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/zUYEXoiqeQchqPwi4TZkqPYRCBU6Hf79EST0IYEr.jpg

You might notice Gomez, this lad I signed for £12M and hasn't played a game due to his work permit, my bad... I've sent
him on loan so he can get game time and hopefully eventually get a permit, also Steele left the squad for £250K I had no
plans for him in the squad.

Season 3 - 10 games to go!

General

Things have started to look up and improve we are climbing the table and the latest win against Tottenham has helped massively
as they edged closer to us! Selling Rhodes was a good decision and Moreno has started banging them in. 14 games played in all
competitions and 2 losses... Must be doing something right DONATI BACK AFTER 7 MONTHS!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ceSfETpFu1ozIzPWP5UXtrQCYeFF2JxVg3f35l7h.jpg

Premier League

8 games played since the last update 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, the loss coming to man utd who are ripping the prem this season! We got a poor draw to Southampton had a player sent off in the early stages and got a number of clean sheets which is great. Credit to David Raya he has been superb and with Areola now its a great battle and the goalkeeper position is looking solid. Rekik got his first premier league goal and got us 3 points against Tottenham with 10 games to go its exciting! We are 5 points from 5th position with a game in hand and a continental spot could be achieved!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/m23KrdIGrgWqJeSaHMzMAs6itqrTbV8HAyObYrSt.jpg

[https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Iq2WOs4VhPbjA0yDFo5YFq8fZ5Qpy9IQprAQqoW4.jpg

FA Cup

We managed to thrash Middlesbrough which was expected but then got drawn with BURNLEY local rivals which wasn't expected, they played well at their ground and got a replay again it was a tough battle and Niang fired us to the next round still undefeated by Burnley since I took over. We were draw Stoke at home delighted with! But it was the worst performance of our season I felt we could have gone far on a nice cup run but to lose at home is poor.

UEFA Europa League

AGAIN still the most successful competition we are taking part in and its becoming exciting! For our first time in Europe
we have managed these big name clubs and to go to Galatasaray and pick up a draw and qualify to the next round is a great
achievement, we have Lyon in the next round a winnable tie! Who knows how far we'll go...

Conclusion

10 games to go and Europa League still in sight its a important last few months. I'm hoping to get around 5/6th again in
the league it has been far too tough to achieve a champions league spot competition is very high this season but who knows
it's still achievable, I'd be delighted to get through to the next round of Europe but if we crash out to Lyon its still
a fantastic effort.

Season 3 - EUROPEAN QUALIFICATION

Premier League

SO we managed to finish 6th AGAIN overall 1 point better than last season... Definitely happy overall but disappointed to lose out on 5th position due to 1 goal difference with Chelsea. Luckily results went our way at the end of the season with Leicester and Southampton loosing. The last 10 games saw us win 5/10 and get a superb 3-0 win over Chelsea and come away with points from Tottenham and Arsenal.

Europa League

I couldn't believe we didn't managed to reach the quarter finals despite doing so well! AND I couldn't believe we didn't score home we threw everything at Lyon we had and credit to the keeper he was fantastic, to even qualify from the group stage was a huge achievement and the furthest Rovers have ever achieved in Europe. Lyon did go on to the Final were they we're beaten by Atletico in the final!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/tAJX1aHMt5AtRuBM7m99PKjkCOQ5t0jsCaUPeQUu.jpg

End of season Review

First of all we was prepared for a take over that went on for over a month! In the end it didn't happen which has wasted precious time in the transfer window! We are still in the interest of a takeover in the near future which I am desperate far we are still in a £140M debt caused when the current owners joined the club so could do with this been cleared and extra funds!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/EbOX5brfzDdbXyYZokdsjL9vu96Ppq0hex9YYvPB.jpg

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/JNwzsJCDRFene9qCmaB8HiR80e5M5l252p2oRwEb.jpg

For the 3rd season in a row Loftus-Cheek is player of the season and for the 2nd time in a row I'll be doing all I can to sign him, he has been capped twice by England now and still young valued at £20M he could be costly but worth it!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/omRpmfI11CL5sjqSH2RbZoOn64kRNk65FgrX396X.jpg

For me personally my favourite player and with the highest average rating was NIANG he was extraordinary and he's just signed a new deal at £100k a week becoming my most expensive player but worth every penny 34 Appearances 10 goals & 10 MOTM 7.69 average rating in the premier league what a signing! But my biggest surprise was Andre Wisdom he was fantastic and kept captain Donati out the side he managed to get called up to the England squad no surprise with 28 games averaging 7.30!

End of season player performances

Overall everyone had a superb season again, every player almost rating over 7.00 which is promising!

Goalkeeper

I brought in Areola as first team replacement for Valdes but RAYA has been splendid now aged 22 in more mature and is developing to a good premier league goalkeeper he gained man of the match in the Liverpool game and pulled off some magnificent saves throughout the season definitely been one of my favourite players.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/9dC1rFWUHPFumTo67THliwxV4EZCFKDTwHGpDyG4.jpg

Defence

Wisdom managed to keep the likes of Donati and Henley out of the side but injuries have been a huge problem for them and Henley is struggling to develop and could leave the club this summer, Marcus Olsson again simply brilliant for the 3rd season running but credit to Clichy he has been fantastic too and is always a hard decision who to play in Left back, Rekik was one of my favourite signings of the season put in some solid defending and scoring 2 goals in the process in 14 games more goals than some of my attackers haha.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/0JSYxGQB2wzMiB5vOwcfSGE7mSyF6oooKw6pNspT.jpg

Midfield

Standouts Niang, Oikonomidis, Aranguiz, Frei and Loftus-Cheek all been brilliant always has been the strongest area at the club and may it continue! Conway has been fantastic but aged 32 now I think next season could be tough for him and along with Bridcutt who didn't feature much could be leaving this summer. Gomez currently on loan I still cant get a work permit for and I am struggling to sell costing me £7M and on wages of £60k a week its a burden.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/RxPq76iojTdJjkgfkCORyEbJRGpRyEcYzNdELYIe.jpg

Forward

An area which has been a problem this season, Rhodes struggled to perform and I sold in January, Moreno I have been disappointed with, my most expensive signing costing £15M didn't really perform and only managed to put in some good shifts towards the end of the season, he did 10 games without a goal and with that inconsistently I wont achieve higher than 6th... Romero has been doing decent but still only 19 is a working project and with a 'Wonderkid' status is developing quickly to be a leading premier league striker!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/wZ76bUKYlmKmbJATGbSKqvAIWXIAQHRLPwzkxuLR.jpg

Conclusion

I did state this time last season I wanted a champions league spot, competition has been higher this season and with more competitions this season it has been tougher, but I'm feeling good about next season the squad is growing and has a high value with some big signing this summer and some tactical tweaks we are in for a good 4th season.

Well done on another good season, improved on last seasons total with more competitions and games played so can't be too hard on yourself.

Fingers crossed you can get the takeover done and dusted to give you time in the transfer window to strengthen ahead of next season.

Season 4 - Start of a successful season

So we've had another busy summer spending £50m but managed to make some decent profit offloading players no longer needed which is positive. Also important to note is the growth of my backroom, we are bringing in high profile staff and even for the U18/21 have been completely re-staffed and hopefully we help with the growth of the youth.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/VJ0d9vP6aYKrGjJdqhPcxmRXhTsH6kjj42ZMTNpz.jpg

Again pre season went well and I made some friendly European games in again to help with continental experience. Non-league side Mansfield beat us, cant quite believe it but lets hope that performance doesn't happen in competitive games haha! 20 goals and 4 conceded in 7 games is always a good sign. AGAIN we have a tough start to the season with Chelsea away and Arsenal at home but it's a chance to get a advantage over the more competitive teams.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/91BaeMOv8VGyy7By0dYKkbrus0wBuiVU24hBkzcM.jpg

Some reviews... We are ranked 29th richest club in the world now! Again we was the overachievers in the Premier league always a good sign of my managerial ability and this season we are predicted 8th and 41/1 to win the league but hoping we can achieve top 4 this season! We also moved up a massive 42 places in the European rankings now 72nd impressive.

Transfers In

Ruben Loftus-Cheek - £26.5M

SO after 3 season we finally captured Loftus-Cheek at a record club fee of £26.5 million don't think I've spent this much on football manager for 5 years! But Loftus is totally worth it always guaranteed a average rating of over 7.20 and is now in the current England squad at 22!

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlian - £12.5m

Buy of the season! Cant believe Arsenal had him on sale still young and potential to be a key player of the team, I know he's a wonderkid for football manager and he could be in for a successful career at Blackburn rovers!

Gago is a all round quality player his mental stats say it all and he will captain my side this season, he was at Swansea and requested a transfer which went in my favour! Again midfield looks the strongest area this season.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/InBGNWPPeSQ8F5DtcRQxtDhLigouj5wPUHZST9E3.jpg

John Obi Mikel - £2.4M

Needed some back up for the Defensive midfield and to give Guila a run for his place at 31 yes he's risky but he's experienced and is a short-term project worth £8.5 he's a high profile signing for the club from PSG.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/KTgt4e2sxkJ1RIXj1hT8F1uMXd29U3ByDcQ2ClBD.jpg

Jakub Brabec - £3.5M

Found this lad myself surfing defenders, he's been in hot form for the past 3 seasons for Sparta and with dead cheap wages is a good buy 25 years old and capped at international level gives more depth to the centre defence

Enes Unal - End of season loan

On loan from Man City I was surprised they let me loan this potential striker, he has a great goal scoring record and at 21 years old he's worth just under £10M will be used as a back up if Maxilimano Romero & Gerard Moreno don't perform.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/IqWyHuciBCbrzEikxmWE8wImqOHcZeW3qnpeVMaC.jpg

Calum Chambers - End of season loan

Best Loan signing I have ever captured! I was going to buy him but if you buy them its permanent with loans I can judge his ability first like I did with Loftus-Cheek, again couldn't believe Arsenal let me have him on loan they didn't even beat me last season could regret this! 23 years old and capped at the England national level this transfer completes my defence and is probably the best defender Blackburn Rovers have ever had.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/PT0T5jPW4tnNsKUPpizmZGPoSYhhefJiesx9RA9k.jpg


Transfers out

A lot of players left time was up for Conway who has been fantastic for ever season but Chamberlian is a perfect replacement. Adam Henley hasn't featured much due to Wisdoms unbelievable performances, I was gutted not to get more money for him nobody was interesting same with Jason Lowe both sold for around £2M, Lowe was worth 6M and is a consistent performer so unfortunate in that aspect but we cashed in on Bridcutt for a similar amount which is fantastic.

Again Gomez without a work permit I sent on loan to gain some citizenship I cant offload him and paying £60k a week the loan managed to half his wages but huge mistake on my side I thought he gained a work permit before signing he has bags of potential a real loss for me.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/NVcZAq575lqSdKNZQWdnTSACCEeGmrtqvmLUNjkk.jpg

Conclusion

I wont be posting as often as I feel I don't need too and it can be time consuming writing these reports it'll be more beneficial to post maybe pre season like now, after January transfer window, then end of season so it can make more in depth report. But as stated I do really want to achieve top 4 this season! Wonderkid Maxilimano Romero will be leading the line he is growing at a rapid rate and is now rated a good striker in the premier league still 19 years old had a great pre season and I'm excited to what he has to offer he has been at my club awhile now and is his time to step up!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/xs5YuxymK3mYAwV6hdMNCKrJ6MLQyVwkZpie42al.jpg

I have changed the tactics slighting playing the same formation as my very first season but more Fluid now and changed the marking, closing down and player roles to get the best out of my players.

JUST A QUICK UPDATE

Felt I had to put this quick update into the summer transfers as some major transfers did take part as I began the season!

Transfers Out

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/tQJxlNyP9vTIPWL9aI4P9FcFHJVu9JuRhGLOQUJS.jpg

Niang

PSG came in throwing money at me with a £20m bid for Niang I really didn't know to sell him so I upped the offer £10M which they accepted couldn't refuse that money! so the offer was £26M and could raise to £31.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/RtbhYsPk5vaWKT393fjX30fKuCoVt9PdNv8vwclC.jpg

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/LPGM0U8TiFY6J5sHzWu1Ip9mDtQTOXPqdoVwIfCc.jpg

Moreno

PSG THEN came in for another bid £15.5M plus £4M add on's for Moreno a offer I couldn't refuse he wasn't in good form last season.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/eIDlENKBZiO63gZHBv76qUCHYCJePKs2icfTnK31.jpg

Transfers in

With the money off transfers and needed replacements I made some fast deicions as we was in season but some good and promising one's.

Mattia Destro - ST - £20M

I put a random bid in for him thinking it would be declined but was accepted been in decent form of Bologna last few seasons and already has 2 goals in 3 games for me 16 finishing target man already in for a better season than Moreno!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/VWsGbaY6v5IGqT25ddTvx7iD5SiJmB195G0WcgC1.jpg

Gokhan Tore - AMR - £21M

On the transfer list at Roma already has 2 goals, 1 assist in 5 games for me 18 dribbling and speed he will be a great addition has alot to live up too Niang was fantasic, loved his performances a real threat every game but money is more important than one player!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/9MfUDmaMdpNp95ZEn5IrORVLPDdrHaKLAX4a8EFp.jpg

Both these players have become the highest value and brings in pure quality for Europe, the squad has grown so much just hope all players perform and work hard.

Champions League

Again we was given the hardest group stage! It's going to be tough to get through but again we made it last year I have confidence.

Wow, some big business there, I bet the fans weren't too happy with the players sold but those that have come in should more than satisfy them!

Nightmare about the future fee thing with loan players, it can sometimes prove a pain when trying to sort out the initial loan but can be a god send if the player performs and their value shoots up.

Season 4 - Nightmare

General

Well this season has been a complete disaster, I'm disgraced by some the efforts by the players it's as if the last 2 seasons in the premier league has happened! We couldn't even score if the opposition didn't even field any players! I've kept the same successful tactic I've had the past 3 season but brought in better players and its just not working! I'm almost tweaking the tactics, trying new formations/roles each game now but nothing is working, I've never been in such bad form on football manager and I can only say its down to maybe making big transfers to the squad and disrupting team chemistry or players just simply not performing.

I'm currently in the situation Mourinho was at Chelsea... I've changed players roles so my wingers are inside forwards to support the forward and made the forward role more deep and attacking, central midfield hasn't been a problem or the full backs, just my strikers, central defence and goalkeepers are really struggling and now I'm in January a lot of transfers will be made.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/eb1tX4JoMyp6x88SPQDJZl1jUwhf3cgTQL2Mhnlu.jpg

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/LNWo1EisIbZGcRUK7uHAOQV8ibdnna2bRg2DA6wV.jpg

Premier league

Sitting 16th says it all... we won 1 game in the first 9 in the premier league and then went on a good run after I made tactical alternations but then we've gone and lost 4 in a row! Villa we was winning then conceded 2 goals in the last 10. It's been a shambles and I feel like transfer listing most of the squad and starting again! The atmosphere at the club isn't good and I've had so many team meetings already to try and boost player performances not a clue what's going on atm and at this rate the champions league looks way out in the distance with now, we have to aim for a respectable position. Scoring 2 goals in 8 games is unacceptable I've had to make so many changes and I've fielded the most players in the league already.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/eIwIxAl0X2enDGQEjX2l3LZSOVRWaAXqG0FqcPXC.jpg

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/gIrD1M5he1TwMf78hZWdZSebvGrrue0Gny5ben3K.jpg

Capital one cup

The cup was short lived as we was knocked out n the 3rd round after going 2-0 up we got beat in extra time by Southampton unacceptable.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/AVLZSHbfvHj9Pa80uZ0DYgeBpShZGflKchtVlMfp.jpg

FA Cup

We somehow managed to beat non league side Torquay! Quite a achievement Destro worth almost £30M missed a penalty against a keeper not even worth 10k... Tore was excellent and got man of the match.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/VxqWNHFsRJc5nBRZdNxCfGbnGwIlS8BVyMb3EVid.jpg

Europa League

Once again the most successful competition to compete in and could be the last time we enter the Europa league as our hopes of continental qualification are fading. We managed to qualify from our group which was a great achievement it was the toughest only losing one game but only winning one seems mental to be able to qualify! But we have some good draws for the knockouts with Dynamo Kyiv and either Braga or Moscow, we could seriously reach the Quarter finals if we don't play like we do in the premier league.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/9J5UGKUITn2asI1gxQ5Zr4Zkh8bSW4tPY6gTGMfs.jpg

Player performances

Goalkeeper

I've had to keep alternating Raya and Areola both have been poor... Raya was fantastic last season and its a shame as he's been brought up in the U21's but I'm looking at finding a new keeper and Ospina looks likely to join in the Jan transfers

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/mhw0G5uLHt5tT6cxIZAhzUTredGxm0inaIWEzMh3.jpg

Defence

As mentioned earlier the full back positions have been quality Donati is back! putting in some splendid performances and his keeping Wisdom out the side. Olsson and Clichy both doing well. Centre backs are very poor I'm highly disappointed in Rekik, Rose and Brabec, Chambers too hasn't been performing up to standards glad I got him on loan. This position I'm looking to strengthen in the window.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/uPKDmHYHawQSK7lizMdNDsXulgGGRul3CfNTPfIs.jpg

Midfield

Again Loftus-Cheek the standout simply magnificent Id pay £50M for this lad if I had too. Aranguiz has started performing well and the central field looks solid also Guilavogui he's been splendid Tottenham wanted him for £8M but I kept him for a reason, Gago and Mikel are decent back ups and this area in the squad looks solid.

My concern is the wingers Chamberlain has been very disappointing I expected him to work wonders on FM16, Oikonomidis has been the worst player of the season he was magnificent last year what's happened! Tore is decent is ranked 2nd in the Premier league with 5 assist, I've just bought Bogonda 2 goals in 2 games for the lad looks a good capture!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ywNOnSShUtC5vecMKvY9AK4Rx7pRZg9v4iBrX6SI.jpg

Forward

The most underachieving position in the squad highly disappointed with all 3, cant say much about Unal as he's only played a few times and is just a back up but Romero and Destro have been awful, amount of chances missed by these guys you would be pulling your hair out Romero has a wonderkid status I bought him 2nd season meant to be a gem on this game, he is already a quality player and has the ability to be a key player but I cant see how if he cant do his job he couldn't score in a open net in one game and he's managed 8 hours without a goal but I always seem to have faith in him.

Destro is a nightmare he's like a Balotelli doesn't listen to you very stubborn, yes 8 goals is decent but it should be at least 20+ my wingers feed the ball to him on a plate and still misses, he's either very poor or decent doesn't have a average game.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/sAKzyW8Lahv8Db8MyiRp9EUbgoqJARrWJ0B9EbT2.jpg


Conclusion

There's going to be a lot of activity in the transfer window highly disappointed in some of the players performances and I have been looking for a new tactic I'll just have to keep trying and hope somehow this form changes. It's very off putting playing Football manager at moments like these but you cant always be successful and this is the challenge of the game and one which I hope I'll overcome!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/VRnBBV5MoSYGQy7QAAFFXHRZKpOtSl4jwKxBJWyJ.jpg

I'll be doing another update on the January transfer windows as there will probably be a lot of activity!

Season 4 - January Transfers

Just a quick update we made a few In/Outs in the transfer market which have been successful so far! BTW I have a new Skin!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/TXbSfbcyQvTsroZzCt4aok8LjnRpGMQ4vGWZlIdA.jpg

AND WE FINALLY GOT A TAKEOVER £220M and I kept my job! Been a poor season so I am very surprised but I've worked hard to get this far and it wouldn't be a successful road to Glory if I lost my job!

But things are looking up we are about to make the Semi's of the FA Cup and the Quarter's of the Europa League (HOPEFULLY) and we are finally getting going in the league still bottom half but getting the results at Home and the points away. I'll post again after the end of the season!

Transfers In

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/wpei7omg2D4NfyZeemr5nBpVCVhz0odZSH2Ig0vZ.jpg

Theo Bongonda - £3.6M

Mentioned in the last post due to injuries I needed a back up left winger and Oikonomidis is having a poor season not the player he was last year with a average rating of 6.71 he's always injured too. But Theo Bongonda what a player, 15 Appearances 5 goals and 5 assists and currently has the highest average rating of 7.43 magnificent made a huge contribution to current form of the club.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Zu2m3drnJazt9JwPtCu6ClEySf9E7LvyROL0vBOF.jpg

Chris Smalling - £3.9M

The defence has been the worst area in the club and needed improving, not wanted by Man utd I jumped straight onto Chris, current England national and huge experience in the league he has been a good capture him and Chambers are excellent at the back 7 Appearances and a average rating of 7.34 so far.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/H74Y9yhnsWjsKgj1LtctRYBLQUqjJAfOMui8Apxf.jpg

David Ospina - £1.2M

A bargain from Arsenal worth almost £10M now, Areola and Raya have been up and down Ospina has had a few dodgy first games but has seemed to settled in and is current No1 keeper.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/EtOTt9Hk2o6qGCDjyXznzGZNb7FDawngGYxx1GTS.jpg

Gervinho - Loan

On loan from Roma was having a huge injury crisis with Tore, Chamberlain and Oikonomidis I needed a backup he's been decent has great attributes has a future fee took your advice Brabbn! But probably wont make a full move for him.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/a4n6U9jyoSD7ZDqttep1dTrroEJ7rBSaLr6sJ3ew.jpg

Transfers out

Marshall has had a poor season and he wasn't happy with first team football so sold him for a good amount! But sale of the season brabec he's been shocking! 9 Appearances and a average rating of 6.64, Everton came in and paid £9M I made a £5.5M profit Fantastic!!

What a strange season you are having. Very strange to see so many players under performing. Fingers crossed you can have a great 2nd half to the season following a busy (but what appears to be successful) Jan window.

It's still worth having the future fee there just in case. I've often taken players on loan, to cover an injury crisis (like you've done with Gervinhio) but i'd rather have the fee there just in case.

I know I think I made so many big signings I've distrupted the squad harmony and chemistry, which is understandable with foreign players! They seem to be playing quality now halfway through the season! Very strange beginning was very hard to keep the squad together.

Season 4 - A season to forget

General

It's been a horrible season and I'm glad it's over. Nothing has gone our way injuries, results, tactics. The squad harmony has been poor and has led to bad results, I've had so many team meetings throughout the year to keep the spirit levels up, But it's time to rebuild squad and get the club up and going for next season.

I did nearly lost my job but the board have given me a target which I'm confident I'll achieve for next season, you cant succeed every season! we are going to have tough times but we have pulled through and hopefully we can forget about this season and start a fresh.

Premier League

We finished mid table on 43 points almost 20 points less than last season, we were very up and down we had a poor start to the season then went on a good run, then back too poor then good and towards the end of the season as you can see we lost 8 games in a row scoring 2 goals in all competitions.

Capital One Cup

Mentioned in the earlier post we was knocked out this third round by Southampton.

FA Cup

The light begins to shine in this season as there was some small success reaching the Semi finals of the FA Cup! We were lucky to face the teams to reach this far but was unfortunate to draw Man City in the semi's, we played superb, Wembley was a sell out it was a special moment for the fans and club!

Europa League

Another successful competition to the poor season, gutted we wont be competing in the Europa league next year but tbh its one less worry and less fixtures, but it could affect big players moving to the club this summer. To reach the Quarter finals was magnificent and only we were so unlucky to get beat 1-0 on aggregate Areola dropped the ball in his own goal. Overall, we lost 3/12 games and beat the likes of Kyiv and Moscow along the way!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/hBwV9JdUIorkUdLn3HvZGnIXJeuE63PRoU6rfjq0.jpg

Player Performances

Goalkeeper

Areola was main goalkeeper throughout the season and with12 clean sheets in 27 games was decent but conceded far to many and cost us in the Europa League dropping the ball in his own net. Ospina was okay nothing special, been quite dodgy seem to rack up a decent average rating but this position I'm looking to strengthen most importantly in the summer.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/R1kKTqMO1Aku71eQnR4kIOItRjIU3KvpZSh8IRcV.jpg

Defence

A season to remember for Donati becoming a Rovers legend! Always puts in a good shift his competitive side is frustrating and does seem to get sent off a fair bit. Olsson and Wisdom again excellent. But again the same for the best 2 season's in the premier league centre backs has been a issue and inconsistent Smalling and Chambers have been decent but far too many errors for the premiership, I wont be making a full move for chambers thank you for your services though!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/TKlbhnHfFhtzcbNDuZDzMbkBc1u2othK63UTtCcD.jpg

Midfield

As in every year the central midfield has been outstanding Aranguiz, Frei, Loftus-cheek, Guilavogui and Gago were excellent always had to keep rotating them to keep them satisfied. Theo Bongonda was my favourite player of the season! Chamberlain I was very disappointed with thought he'd smash the premier league up! Tore did well but very inconsistent, not going to lie we have missed Niang this year.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/4zOWk5ZsgpICXmgm8AV1t6X09NQPDHXD0Hx5kajp.jpg

Forwards

Unal didn't feature much was just a back up luckily we didn't have any injuries this season in this position, but my god Romero and Destro most inconsistent players in the world next minute they would bang them in then they'll go 8 games without scoring. Romero is special and a wonderkid and has his moments but I need a consistent goalscorer.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/tvqSqv2zIatWvkE99cmnesMcsBSoWa4Z6gKi6X2W.jpg

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/8cjzYHWOR166mYfRV53FMz1nwYESc7FtBYw2ScAp.jpg

OF COURSE Loftus-Cheek was fans favourite player of the season for the 4th consecutive season haha! Donati, Guilavogui and Romero made it into Blackburn Rovers overall best 11 but only on the bench.

LET'S HOPE FOR A GOOD SUMMER! I am going to do a lot of research into tactics and players more this summer it just isn't working atm and we do need start hitting target and getting that Champions league spot and winning the English Premier league!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/CRIqZenW25lUhVe43bQByWvQcilGHqaNsaDSEweA.jpg

We are now a PLC Company (public) still in over £100M Debt which we are working on but the club is now worth over £360M!!! The board have given me a lovely budget for summer £44M and £300k in wages and have upgraded some of the facilities too which is great to hear!

Cheers Dan spent hours last night looking at tactics and ideas found a decent one going to play a shadow striker as scoring is a problem in the 4-2-3-1 tactic I know it's popular choice in the premiership, I brought in Lamela as a SS was on the transfer list! Good at set pieces too good edition to the club

Season 5 - The A new life

Finally the season is here and with 3 days till we start the campaign at Ewood Park to Everton Pre season has been a successful, but tactically there has been alterations after last seasons nightmare and under new owners I need to impress.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/KgxZXoxKP7vcPEPHDXNWOv0XqLwY1SrpXAyxqM1N.jpg

Injuries again have already played a crucial part in the season before it even starts, Wisdom out for 8 months with 6-7 left to go he'll miss most of the season I'm gutted is my best right back but Donati was great last season I have all my confidence in him. Olsson too is out for 2 months and Smalling just getting injured a few days before Everton is a huge blow too.

Romero was a target for Bayern Munich! But £14M for a wonderkid no chance obviously he wasn't happy with me turning down his move to one of the best clubs but hes happy now, Chamberlain was a target for Liverpool but I really want to keep him, wasn't keen on him at first but his form picked up and he'll be leading the role on the left wing.

Tactics

I've reverted to the famous 4-2-3-1 well known in the premiership, last season I struggled to score goals and with one up front it was tough in the Prem so I've moved the defensive midfield to a shadow striker to play behind the front man, The Inside forwards are now wingers which suit my players more and the forward position has a role of a complete forward he'll be leading that line playing very attacking, trying to get the most out of these two superb striker Destro and Romero who just cant find their feet.

Transfers In

I tried to keep transfers to a minimum this time as I felt I disrupted the squad too much last season, but some are solid signings with good characteristics which is important to fit in.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Hr5AFScjrvswEkgQpM4tL8zXFeSDAaoZ5iOdR91E.jpg

Andrew Robertson - £10.5M

I wanted this lad right away heard good things about him online and I looked at his past 4 season performances he's racked up over 7.10 average rating each season and last season had 50 Appearances for Hull with a average rating of 7.37!! Going to be quality in the left back position.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/UyzKOFhwhfPc3hde8tQefWIJowjtG5eoYsgBIwgF.jpg

Erik Lamela - £8.5M

A Bargain for of the the Premier Leagues most gifted players! Tottenham didn't want him and I didn't hang back his attributes are insane glad he wanted to join the club! With my new Shadow Striker role he'll be first choice lets home he creates some goals!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/d4Mry1m7OTnV8vDY8sy6RuO0TJw3QuI0BoBZSpGR.jpg

Serge Gnabry - Loan

On loan from Arsenal he's a back up for Lamela, his best role is Shadow Striker and wasn't much choice in the market he's a gifted player and hopefully does well when called up for

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/KO7jkvXblC7C0I2SJ9UpOGchSfETYgp1zV6TuI5p.jpg

Salvatore Sirigu - £6M

PSG Keeper pricey for him at 32 but hes got great attributes and experience, needed to strengthen this position so I went all out on him, him and Ospina likely to be rotated.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/9v3cdOuu6HBBI9xvxgaN8yia3COFwUgtHkl121D7.jpg

Enzo Roco - £14M

Didn't think I'd spend so much on a defender not a position I like spending money on haha, I did my research on this fella highly recommended solid defender! His central position stats are out this world should be perfect with Smalling in that defensive line.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/btOUpkGLHvLJgWqeBdPsm39ryLdUZQoppk04w9nc.jpg

Markus Henriksen - Free

Bought him simply because he was free, cheap wages and check his attibutes very good for a midfielder former man of Stoke will be a decent back up for the area.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/CueK9a4NjzgQ5lsRo1gyKDRxCtoG1OGHi1OW0dU3.jpg

Jonjoe Kenny - £525K

From Everton another defender just for back up glad I got him now smalling is injuried! He's got good potential not the greatest player in the squad, but did my research online for him.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/VoSvJmHP5kQl2LuaNO7G96F9fboZF01atvhmInNQ.jpg

Sergi Palencia - Loan

Due to Wisdom been out most of the season, I had to get back up but on loan from Barcelona I only found him because I took the filter off the assistant manager filtering unrealistic targets. Surprised he wanted to join, he was signed as backup but can see this lad becoming one of the clubs leading players.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/y9yeTHL655It9TG8iCdgCjdZ7hAuKyOdMsxAt65L.jpg

Daniele Verde - Loan

Unwanted at Roma he's been the best player pre season and he will start against Everton. He's rapid and skillful manged 2 goals one assist in 3 appearances for me pre season. Verde was on loan at west ham last season and had a 7.05 average rating looking forward to what he can produce for the squad.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/QKIAIfPImY2eMsuG55b5hXgaFXlAicR0sFormTIU.jpg

Fabio Cardoso - Loan

Another loan signing we were sort at the back and the transfer market was sacre, has decent attributes been at stoke for 2 years
so has Premier league expierence will be a back up for Smalling and Roco.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/XiVJtxpVIyKf61DHyI4BjxxHiW5MvLFhyC7P9U30.jpg

Transfers Out

Not many people sold this season just the few who were very poor last season got some good profits made though! Rose didn't feature much and made a £800k profit, Areola was poor in goal and made a great £2.7M Profit! Gago last seasons captain had a good season but for me doesn't have the quality. Oikonomidis going for £7.25M rising to £9.5!! A good £3.5M profit after his dreadful season last year. Final recent sale was Rekik who went for a good £4.8M rising to £6M, not a profit on him but hasn't featured much and was one of the worst players last season.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/rpqlcwZjhLyPzOrGpR0751G9l4jR3TZvqQ2DHcTr.jpg

Competitions

We are projected top half and our target is to get back into Continental football with the Europa league, the owners aren't bothered about the Capital one cup but was us to achieve at least the fifth round.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/iALAWsrijkT2JcRtw1E7pWHoQmstoKsyWZkqkDX2.jpg

I believe the quality in this side is far much better than last season, Romero it could be his season for the wonderkid, likes of new signings Lamela, Robertson, Sirigu, Roco and Palencia are going to make it a exciting one! I've spent alot of time on the internet looking for the right tactic and players let's hope it doesn't disappoint. The market for finding defenders was poor I almost signed Rojo for free but didn't get a work permit which I'm devastated would have just been the icing on the cake.

the squad looks strong and his growing in ability SHOULD BE A GOOD SEASON!

Season 5 - Flying High

It's been a unbelievable start to the season can I say the 4-2-3-1 is fantastic for the premier league I switch between two different forms depending home and away fixtures! ATM we are aiming for Champions league who would have thought it? At this rate I wouldn't exclude myself from actually winning the Premier league we have been fantastic so far but we have just hit a bad form in December!

Capital One Cup

We were very unfortunate not to progress to the Quarter Finals, we missed too many chances 19 shots and 1 goal against Tottenham says it all, but on the bright side we beat our rivals Burnley along the way! Out of 48 teams cant believe we got drawn together The board weren't bothered about the Capital one and it's just extra fixtures out the way!

FA Cup

This competition hasn't begun yet! We have been drawn Fletwood Town in the third round! I do want to go far in this competition and it would be great if we could finally win a trophy this season!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/NYSbgv8s3gz0o6l5yelIKmsyTUFhhJ1ji6qPlyxe.jpg

Premier League

We are flying high in the league sitting 2nd after half the season! We've only lost 3 games all season... what a turn around from last year, we had some fantastic wins against Liverpool away, Man Utd and Chelsea not only did we win but we've dominated the top teams some pictures below showing shots and possession. We've had 12 wins after 19 games more than last season already Hahah. Really proud of some of the performances, Robertson, Lamela and players like Chamberlain and Destro have finally woken up and playing the season of their life!

Not to mention we did 10 games undefeated the league!

NEED TO METION WE FINALLY HAD THE FIRST PREMIER LEAGUE HAT TRICK DESTRO!!!!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/oLLL5RuOAHuGnQJLIraiayK45l8F6DwbLwrCkD6u.jpg

Player performances

Goalkeeper

Sirigu has been the regular number one had a excellent start to the season but has seem to have a downfall! Ospina is used for rotation and cup games.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Oce4y5uSDEO0nzclbrlwO4cShxbhe2BJQ7m6QBl9.jpg

Defence


Much, much better this season! We are keeping clean sheets and getting some excellent performances Enzo Roco has been worth his £14m price tag 16 Apps 2 goals and a 7.35 average rating he is quality but has been sent of twice already... Robertson has been my favorite defender I knew this lad would put a shift in and has been consistent all season, Donati and Cardoso have also been playing very well much impressed this season!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/NeAUlMWGSX17i1TrjraE0elbBJg2jME9Gap3Mnlo.jpg

Midfield

Well it's the wingers that have been getting all the headlines this time! Moving the the role from inside forwards to wingers has worked a gem, look at Chamberlain 7.59 average rating completely different player this season 5 goals and 5 assists, been excellent Verde has been a quality signing puts a shift it but gets injured very easily glad I have Tore he has 5 assists already too! Lamela has been the standout what a signing! 3 goals and 6 assists in 17 Appearances average rating of 7.68 works wonders in the shadow striker position. Again Loftus-cheek keeping a consistent form going has scored some beauties already this season on 2 goals same amount as last year already!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/tLURfROAR6TiP1gcTlcIlSr8AYyOEhE9P7k7gmnS.jpg

Forward

A season to remember for Destro so far 16 Apps and 13 goals.... I don't need to say no more this formation has got the best out of him. Although he is going through a rough patch atm hasn't scored since his hat trick in November. Romero has had a poor season and I think I'm losing patience with the lad 2 goals so far this season! He was on 16 hours without a goal including that running from last season and a number of clubs are interested in him such as Bayern and Barcelona so I will sell him in January with the right price!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/8YNcgiTNdbX04bwUbMs6kDxYiC508BYPkkrwxEqh.jpg

Conclusion

Its' been simply a brilliant season so far everyone is pulling their weight around and putting in performances we look solid home and away and haven't lost at home this season yet! Looking to bring in maybe 1/2 players in January and offload some but I'm so impressed already picked up manager of the month in November but my favorite player so far this season is Lamela.

I don't see why I cant challenge for a champions league spot we are 3 points clear! With this form too we could go for the Title and I will go for it but let's see what the second part of the season has to offer!

Season 5 - CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/MBbE9Ic9iXqxJMHw3lLjvawoCqJ2H9Lr6Ym6r0ze.jpg

Finally after 5 season's we have finally made it and this road to glory has lift off as we hit the greatest European competition!

It's been a excellent season to say the least some fantastic goals, results and performances. Certain players have been standouts and really caught my eye but unfortunately the eye of some top European clubs too.

Despite this good season, there's been a few problems mainly away games we had a great start to the campaign but towards the end we won 2 away games second end of the season so I really do need to do some research in finding a good tactic, also we missed so many opportunities each game easy chances, but I think that's just Football manager 2016 game engine.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/W57LeXjfPPUT3LcRmbZSUOJ055rq4SZ267x4N2ik.jpg

But it's been fantastic overall just disappointed with the board they've only given me £11M transfer budget when previously I've received £50M and not even qualified for champions league... I hope this gets increased at the beginning of the season or its going to be a tough competition with the likes of Barcelona, Madrid and Juventus etc....

Premier League

SO overall we finished 4th finishing on a huge 73 points! Only one point behind Liverpool in 3rd, most importantly we only lost 1 home game very poor too Newcastle worst performance I've seen but still lots of positives just our away form needs to drastically improve next season.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Ur2F2WZOsGN3hraJdWZYPyAioaRxa3orLySbYZfs.jpg

If we can get a decent tactic sorted I dont see why not we cant challenge for the title next season depending how the new 'wankers' owners give me to spend...

Dispite this DESTRO Won THE EPL GOLDEN BOOT AWARD WITH 23 GOALS he was outstanding this season! He bagged 2 hat tricks this season I haven't even had a player score a hat trick in the previous 3 seasons.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/rDY8v2arT8djkEl0fvFaeZwUj5CkWS3b6Ry8rd1X.jpg


Never had this many players in team of the week before!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/I9BL8YI9LuvcpwwbWekCeo4kGmEzDlo7pcT8dWIV.jpg


FA Cup/Capital One Cup

I'm putting this section together as I didn't really concentrate on these competitions and focused on the league. The board weren't bothered about the Capital One cup, we finished average in both competitions, the paths of Liverpool and Tottenham stopped us in our tracks but some good results along the way we beat Arsenal in the FA Cup to reach the 5th round then drew away to Liverpool but then got beat at home... Oh and our Rivals Burnley hehe who are now in league 1!

Players End of Season Review

Goalkeeper

Improved slightly in this area, but again not the best area don't know if I'm going to be able to afford to strengthen this area Ospina managed to put in some decent performances in the 2nd half of the season to keep Sirigu out the side, both average.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/nSD1m24hb2EnoqmoNp2MqiKoxkMAYycSn1P3gvh5.jpg

Defenders

This area has definitely improved this season! Robertson as I said will be a excellent signing and boy he was, my favorite defender this season and probably ever for Rovers, always a threat on the ball, he made 34 Apps with a average rating of 7.37. Palencia was excellent on loan great back up player to have and played in a few positions wish I could keep him! Again Central area of the defence was inconsistent but improved Roco had a great season! Glad the new signings had a impact. I'll definitely be improving this area again in summer.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ZJDS8qbJjbPoP5Kmd903SAkSBhf7ZY70ozmhXAa9.jpg

Midfield

As you can notice the one standout Lamela but I wont go into too much detail as I mention him a lot throughout haha. Tore had a fantastic season 10 assists and 4 goals, Chamberlain another standout he was excellent then Man Utd wanted to sign him I reject £30M and his form declined as he wanted to leave but he wants to stay now and has been unbelievable 8 goals and 7 assists in all competitions. Shout out to Ntcham on loan from Man City had the highest rating but due to Lamela struggled to start him as much! Verde another man who was on loan and another player that was excellent got some worldie loan players this year just wish I could afford to keep them all! Loftus-Cheek but into another sublime season 7.29 average rating worth every penny. As you can notice Henkrisen has one of the highest average rating but this was due to playing cup games against poor sides he was shocking in the league and will be looking to sell him summer I got this lad on a free and will br 100% profit for me around the £5M mark!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/26kYKxHOjaefWLaWLJqJUV1UHD5qV4VKeoLRY0SJ.jpg

Strikers

Nothing else to say apart from Destro 27 goals in 32 Apps I'll leave that there. Romero had a poor season with 12 goals he really struggled each game his best impact was as a sub when Destro didn't perform which was convenient haha, Barcelona want to sign Romero and with the right money I will sell hasn't done much was supposed to be a world beater on FM16!

First of all This guy Erik Lamela probably the best season I've ever had with a player that I can remember 34 Apps 10 goals, 10 assists and 8 Man of the matches average rating 7.74.... he was voted player/signing of the season! And yes he was my player of the season too. Finally for the first time Loftus cheeked missed out in 2nd hahaa. Here's him scoring Blackburn's goal of the season just a simple overhead kick after 10 Min.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/iy9WW5ckGiqTWnUNONMSQ4os92eQPGqml3heI1S7.jpg

Just a shoutout to my youth player Woodward who won league 2 player of the year at 17! 7.39 average rating in 40 Apps.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/EsoUr4mQs6xqJr9aph77OhhlQpWjGSSYQHWl4V0J.jpg

Conclusion

As mentioned I hope the board give me more money I cant work with £11M in the champions league hahahaha, Its been a good season I will go and put all effort in every competition, looking forward but nervous for the champions league, impressed with my players this season transfer activity going out will be minimal again apart from contracts that expire and free up wages.

Juventus are after Lamela I'd love to keep him but decline Man Utd offer for Chamberlain really affected him and I don't want the same for Lamela, Barcelona are also after Romero and I'm sure everyone will be back in for Chamberlain!

Let's try get some bargains and hope new signings this summer have the same impact as the one's this year had.
