Well done Memphis Depay, very well deserved. Turned out to be my signing of the summer, I thought it would be Hulk.



And a couple more end of year accolades.

Top of the table clash against Inter, the only team who could really stand in my way. As you can see...

Champions League Group Stage



After drawing the 2 and losing 1 of the first 3 games, who'd have though I'd still be able to top the group?

Thanks Simon, you're a gent

Yeah it's not going bad. I'm fully reliant on wingers to score atm. Tevez, Morata, and Llorente can barely get a goal between them

Off topic, does anyone know how to get rid of this at the top of my stories etc? No idea how to associate a game :s

2nd trophy of my Italian vacation, the Italian Super Cup




A great game for Depay, who had a bit of stick from the press for a poor debut, shut them all up with a brace in the first 10 minutes.

First Juve trophy and a personal defence of one of my own titles. UEFA Super Cup wrapped up against my old Real team no less. Looking at their team sheet, it felt bizarre to see them with no wingers, especially after all of the investment and talent I threw at that squad.
Anyways, it didn't feel great to beat my own team so easily.

TRANSFERS IN



First player through the door is one Memphis Depay from PSV. We really needed a left sided winger, and Depay truly fits the mould. Bags of talent.



And the new LB. Left sided full-backs are at a bit of a premium it seems, so I was sort of stuck with Clichy....



Chuffed to bits with Hulk. Monster wingers to feed Tevez.

LOANS IN



Needed a half decent back up in case my sexy midfield got injured

TRANSFERS OUT







*slight changes to these, my game decided to shut down before I could save. Signed all of the above just for slightly different moneys.

SEASON 2 - 2015/16

After success in Spain, our tour takes us to Italy and Juventus.



A media prediction of 1st and I'm straight under the cosh for results. Let's hope the team can play my tactics sharpish.




Another strong squad, a little on the bloated side. I'm not entirely happy with the left flank so I'll be looking for a new winger and LB. That midfield is ridiculous, Pogba, Vidal and Pirlo. *swoon*

And here we go, Serie A.



After stepping down from the Real job, Massimilliano Allegri took my old job, leaving the door open to walk into the Juve job. I'm very confident.

Mission Complete

Squad Summary




- GK's - Casillas and Navas have been on rotation all season with Iker in on the more important games. Both players never let me down when called upon.

- New Signings - Musacchio came in a knocked Pepe out of the first team getting himself into the team of the year. Coleman was a solid backup at RB. Raheem sterling came in and was fairly solid if unspectacular. Could probably be considered a more long term replacement to Ronaldo.

- ST's - Chicorito hit the ground running scoring 33 goals but really tapered off towards the end of the season. Benzema wan't up to standard for me, and now finds himself transfer listed. Jese has done nothing but complain, given the chance was useless compared to anyone else I had. Real will need a first class striker for nest season.

- Personal Player of the Year? - I had so many to choose from. Ronaldo scored all the goals, Bale gave all the assists, but for me James and Kroos were really just pulling all the strings in midfield. If I had to choose? Toni for me.

Revenge




What a mental match, 7 goals, red cards, goals in the last minutes. Football...bloody hell

AWARDS

Another one for Ronnie

La Liga 2014/15 Over...



Barca's record of 101 points blown out of the water



Messi is a machine. Ronnie still couldn't top his goals, but look at all of those assists from the other guys. A massive shout out to Kroos who was a force in the middle of the park. All of this reflected below...



Bizarrely, Ronaldo managed to get player of the year, but couldn't get into team of the year.

And one for me...



Champions League final to come and we'll have a squad end of season summary

Fought back from 0-2 at half time, but beaten on penalties. Clean sweep taken away by Barca. One more Clasico to go...Champions League FINAL.

Well it had to happen, after going throughout the whole league season unbeaten (33 games). With a raft of injuries and nackered players (no available full backs) I've finally been beaten. I genuinely thought I could do the whole season unbeaten.

And there we have it, La Liga wrapped up with 8 games to go. League table to come once the season is finished.

That's true...

El Clasico numero dos.



The league is now mine...

2-0 down to Chelsea in the first leg, I genuinely thought it was over. I threw my best team at them for the second leg and just couldn't break them down in the first half. Off game Benzema for Chichorito, Bale for James, and they turned it around. 2 assists from James and a gold from Javier and we were into extra time. A goal from Chichorito and a late onslaught from Chelsea and we're into the quarter's! Very happy.

To be honest, the top leagues would be these 5, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt doing it anywhere

Oh lovely...well that's his Real career over. Bastard wouldn't sign a new contract and is leaving for Man City in the summer.

And the 18 game winning streak comes to an end at the hand of the bastardo's, Atletico.



Despite Sami Khedira's best efforts to lose the game by getting sent off after 38mins, they still held in for the draw. Now looking for an unbeaten season.

TBH, he's been brought in to challenge Bale. Like I said, Reus had £21m release clause, but I knew he'd kick off as soon as he wasn't starting every match. As Sterling is younger, he'll wait for his chance.

Can I have my manager of the year now please?

Yeah it's a good challenge, especially to start with when you first get FM15. I imagine it'll be a challenge when I want to move to another league with a challenging club. Watch this space...

Needed to ease the pressure on Ronnie and the chimp. Spare £40m and I didn't want Reus as I don't think he'd be happy as a back up.

Awards time:



Well done Chicorito on the NA player of the year, not bad for a back up striker




And well done Ronnie on his annual world player of the year awards.

Trophy number three bagged. That's the three minor trophies sorted.
