#430420 Glenavon & England
Waterdeep70
With Ronaldo becoming more injury prone I buy an unhappy Martial ( seems about right) from Man Utd for £36m.
Also raided Real madrid for some talented kids so hope to train Varin & Marchand for the future.
Dean Henderson picked up after Utd release him for cover to Donnarumma & Mannion..... although I have rarely seen any keeper injured in FM.
Narrow 2-1 super cup win over Europa winners Spurs with Kane making a point to be above Vardy in my England Squads.
City sack Pep who obviously chooses Southampton as his next stop !
Atletico end my perfect group stages with a 2-1 win in Madrid. In the semis I thought 1-1 in turin would be an easy win at Fortress Mourneview but it became a 4-3 thriller to squeak through 5-4 on aggregate.
Bayern awaited in the final but 2-1 was more comforatble than score suggests.
England win Confederations Cup ( semi with the Invisible stat Germans the hardest game)... Berahino the goalscoring hero.
Also sees the end of Wayne Rooney 141 caps & 68 goals.
Also finally seeing some better Youth Coming into the Club under Phil Cannon ... even if I do not benefit it should be players for the other clubs to improve there standards.

I had taken a punt on Lingard & Rashford as youngsters for my team but unlike Real World they are not superstars so intense coaching a mentoring in place to boost them.
As usual I track the Man Utd news as I loo to pick up youngsters for Rochdale usually -- this time I picked up Mitchell & McTominay on free having been released. Also picked up Sessegnon from Fulham who it turns out just does not improve.
Major signings include Lewis Cook (£8.25m) , Redmond from relegated Norwich ( £5.5m) & Chalobah ( £10m).
Glenavon get there first Super Cup to play and somehow sneak a 1-0 vs European Champions Man City who are managed by Pep.
League went to plan as it should with my squad but lost to Coleraine in semi finals of Irish Cup after gamble to play youngsters back fires and 1-1 aet leads to Penalty shot out loss.
Dnipro & Monaco both held me to draws in Champion League knockout rounds after being well ahead in the first legs I eventually met Juventus in a dull final that again leads to a narrow win 1-0..... Thanks to Ronaldo who this time gets his Golden Boot as Northern Irelands co-efficient has moved up a tier and he gets 1.5 x goals for his points..... More importantly other teams are getting more places in Europe next season so hope to see Linfield & Cliftonville improving.
For England Vardy is becoming more useful than Kane and Berahino is a regular starter !!!

I wanted something different so saw Northern Ireland had lots of trophies to play for and that Glenavon were in Europe ... used Editor to set up a Billionaire style set up with fancy stadium and a starting 16 who could compete in Europe. Whilst the league was boosted to stop players immediately wanting out the co-efficient was left to see how that would progress.
I also wanted to bring youngsters through so the 3 cup competitions ( turned out there was a fourth for u19's) give ample opportunity to try out new talent.
Season 1 - Transfers - Brought in youngster as participating in Italian Youth Invitational Cup for under 19's ( no idea why !! ) .... Neufville ( west ham) , Humphreys ( Man City ) Flanagan (Palace) Rankin-Costello ( Blackburn) & Morris ( Ipswich ) brought in 15/16 Season. Also added Berahino in Jan window for £33Mill.
Neufville as of Season 5 still youngest player in club history at 16rs 21 days.(8/8/15)
Went on to win League , All Irish Cups ( There are 3 to play for) and toughest of all a Penalty Shoot out win over Liverpool in the Europa Cup..
Hired Phil Cannon to develop the Youth system and see if I can get a Wonderkid for once by playing longer.( He retires in 2022)
Goal Machine Ronaldo lost out on the Golden Boot due to Northern Ireland (Tier 3 country) goals only counting 1 to La Liga counting 2 ( Ronaldo 47 Gameiro 24x2 for 48 pts).
England won the Euro's with Kane getting the Golden Boot ( Thrashed Switzerland in the final)..... Note to self DO NOT play so many friendlies before a major competition. Found myself using back up keepers as outfeild subs to try keep squad fresh.
Wenger retired and Pellegrini took over ..... elsewhere Mourinho replaces Van Gaal ( one for the AI guessing correctly).
