Wigan Athletic Return to the Premier League

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/qb33vSZZ2zJs10CaO0tVfhJHrWSGzOtcab8EKWde.png

This is my second attempt at doing a save on here as my first Man United file save was corrupt, so now using a 2 week rolling autosave so hopefully it will be fine. The reason i chose Wigan Athletic is because they are not having it all there own way in the Championship and it would be fun to play as them in the Europa League. Im looking to get promoted in the first season then hoping to stay in the Premier League for a few seasons and maybe win a few cup competitions on the way.

I started out looking for a striker for my Wigan team and thought no better man than Danny Ings, who is firing them in for Burnley in real life at the moment, hes only 22, pacey and a good finisher. I also got Stevie May from St Johnstone, 15 finishing and he's only 21 hopefully he can grow into a 20-25 goals a season man. I also needed a goalkeeper as Ali Al-Habsi is injured and Scott Carson..... is well he's Scott Carson so i bought the young Reading 'keeper Alex McCarthy who will grow into a top English goalkeeper. I Sold James McArthur to Newcastle because he wanted to go to a bigger club and keeping him would lower the clubs morale so i got 2.3 million for him, i thought i had enough cover for him but when Ben Watson got injured the panic set in and i bought Olly Norwood from Huddersfield for 2.2 million on deadline day, top set piece taker and corner taker so he will slot in nicely in our midfield. I also bought John Stones from Everton for cheaper than i thought, he is a hot prospect for the club, next JT? we will see.

Agree with Dan. Both of those players are superb captures, particularly as you progress they will wither make you a lot of money or be key members of your squad

Pre Season

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/HvoGEAsaT7SU1pjmPhXerkvfUdP6ce27LJXiApzL.png

Decent enough pre-season winning two, drawing one and losing the other. Martyn Waghorn the stand out with 3 goals but the last game he suffered an injury that would keep him out until October. New signing Danny Ings grabbing a goal as he had a solid pre season. The leaking of goals was concerning but we score more policy was working. Positive about the season going ahead and hopefully picking up a trophy along the way.

August Review

2013 FA Community Shield

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/GKjZvPfXrGRkrHXGJKDd6lWQ4Q4nMjZfHG2nvGWo.png

We got a battering in the FA Community Shield but it was only late into the second half when they broke our defence 3 quick fire goals killed us off. I wasn't expecting a miracle but we did our best.

Solid start to the Sky Bet Championship 3 wins out of 5, we find ourselves in the playoffs. Danny Ings and Shaun Maloney grabbing 2 goals each in August. My goal of the month was Ben Watson's screamer from 30 yards against Middlesbrough and my player of the month would have to be Ings with his 2 goals and 2 assists. Overall im happy with our start to the championship the 3-0 defeat against Forest was a downer but apart from that all positives.
