#289143 Me Vs The World
Cheik It Out
So, in good form, with a good squad we come to Germany to play in the World Cup. A solid squad, only missing striker Emile Scott, started the tournament really well, finishing off Chile and Honduras, and enduring a goalless draw with Greece to ensure our place in the next round.
A tough game against Italy was next, which we took great interest and demolished them. Easy enough. we faced France next after that, and unluckily, we fell in the way of penalties. Not a pleasant sight, we dominated the game, and should've won, but the board are happy with my performance, getting South Africa to the Quarters in the World Cup.
3 players got in the dream team:
Winger Sipho Sono, Striker Mlungisi Vilakazi and Center Half Joel Tshabalala.

A very disapointing season. It ended well for us, I suppose, but only winning 2 trophies, and the Community Shield doesn't really count, is very annoying. Out of the League Cup, FA Cup, CL and the EURO Cup. But we hung on for an amazing Premier League win. It was very close come the end of the season, with 1 point separating Chelsea, Spurs and us on the final day, but Anas Aarab, a player struggling all season, snook a goal in, in a tough gritty game against Man U, to seal it. Also, Spurs and Chelsea both dropped points on the last day of the season, so we could've drawn and won.
Sadly, this site was down, so I didn't get time to take screenshots of stats last season, so hopefully you'll believe me. Reutershahn, Kalinic and Williams all grabbed over 15 goals, with Aarab only getting 5. On the contrary though, when he grabbed quite a few assists, helped by Vaseljevic, Suomi, Harrison - who also got 9 goals - and our full backs. I reverted back to the 4-3-3 formation, which was a delight, and once we got in form, we stayed there!
Kalinic got Fan's Player of the Year, 2nd in Player's Player of the Year, and 3rd in the Golden Boot charts. He also got in the Team of the Year, along with Ruiz, Carvajal and Hansen - also Reutershahn and Girtzikis made the subs bench in that. Ruiz got the Golden Glove, and Carvajal, despite being in our first team for 6 years now, got 3rd in the Young Player of the Year charts.
Hoping to bring at least a couple more trophies next year, and we will see where we are then!

Should I stay and win the Europa League, and win the Premier League in which I am 3rd - 7 points behind the leaders Spurs with 15 games to go, and then try and win the CL, or should I leave and go to one of my loaded leagues which includes Austria, Brazil or Russia?

The transfer window finished, and we had bought no others, but a couple of players finally left us. I managed to ship Bannon out as a couple of players were unhappy with him, and Benoit Emporio was also bought by Burnley. A few other youth players left on loan.
Not much has happened. We made an alright start to the season, but it has been very up and down. We seem to smash teams at home, although we get smashed away from home. Losing 4-0 to Newcastle has decreased the morale of our players significantly. We got past Hull and beat Godset, and narrowly avoided defeat against Inter away. We also won the Community Shield, not that anyone cares about that trophy. Brighton made an excellent start to the season - 6 wins in a row and didn't for the first 5.

I have decided to spend a bit, without any selling as the players I would look to sell won't budge - look at this
http://sortitoutsi.net/forums/topic/2874/selling-players
It is really unhelpful as those players won't be near the first team this year and will complain about being on the bench. First up, I will tell you that Fusca (CM) left back to his native Brazil for £2.7m in March.
Incoming:
Mexilhao - young player from Gremio. He is quality, and will rotate with Hansen and Salhi for the starting CB slot. Replaces Bannon, who despite being Scottish, hasen't been trained in the nation so is effectively worthless compared to this guy.
Francis Williams - Striker who played for my Nigerian team once in a while, has good stats, and provides stiff competition in attack! Should get goals, along with Kalinic, Aarab and Reutershahn aswell as up and coming Lukac and Borges. Tweedie will hopefully be sold on!
Fusca - adding to my young gun contingent of Borges, Lukac, Stanoev, Reinaldo, Raphael and Chukwudi, he is a very good DMC already, and will be world class.
Ricky Verhoeven - another, more attacking young midfielder. Will be brilliant in years to come.
Fans Player of the Year was a shock! IT WASN'T KALINIC!! Suomi was a worthy winner nevertheless though!

We finished first, but our performances got worse and worse as the season went on. We improved a bit towards the end, but just looking at the quality and strength of some opposition players, we really need to invest wisely this summer - no shitty 20 buys of an average English player to fill a quota.
Suomi was the standout player. We sorely missed Aarab, Kalinic, Reutershahn and Bibis for large chunks of the season. The season was rather disjointed and resulted in a disappointing Average Rating for our players, a lack of awards, and a smaller points total than last season. We will get rid of dead wood, and I might suprise a few people will players I am considering selling this summer.
One positive note at the end of the season was the rise of 17 year old Jorge Borges - mentioned maybe before (He got two goals in pre season). He has a very good finish, and got 3 goals in 3 starts. Suprisingly, Reutershahn was our top scorer this season with 25 golazos - the first in which one of my strikers didn't top the PL scorers list. Suomi got 18 assists, with Kalinic, Pavone and Ivovic chipping in with some aswell. Note that Harrison only got 6, and Vaseljevic 3 (he had an injury hit season though). Hansen and Kalinic shared the top number of MOTM awards with 7 apiece. Antczak (Bibis' quality young Polish stand in) was our top passer, Carvajal and Flick once again dominated the tackle stats, and Reutershahn winning the dribbles per game figure. Flick was the dirtiest player - 21 yellows and a red to his name - and despite Kalinic being injured for 3 months, he got the top Average Rating figure - once again.
Don't know how long I can wait at QPR til we get the CL, although I am enjoying the setup here, and bring through young gems like Borges.
ALSO NEWCASTLE WON!!!!
#29541 Some Questions about FM 13?
Cheik It Out
1) Match Engine - How bad is it? People complain about FM 12, yet I think that is quite good. Can you play in 2D still?
2) FMClassic - what is different between it and the normal version? Match Engine, Scouting, Transfers? Can you add and remove leagues on it? How far can you go on it?
3) I haven't seen a screenshot/video of FM 13 on transfers deadline day - what did they do to change it, I think people have said something different has happened to it?
4) Is the full version quick and relatively easy (not in terms of winning, but getting around the game) to play?
Cheers

This game is a disgrace. We beat Benfica 2-1 in the first leg. Was 2-2 with 5 minutes to play, down to 10 men, and having a bunch of injured players.
List of injured players:
Bibis (DMC), Kalinic, Reutershahn (ST), Girtzikis (AML), Salhi, Bannon (CB). Flick (LB) suspended, Antczak (DMC), Tweedie (ST) and Chukwudi (AML) not registered. That limited me to a team of 1st choice CB, 3 CMs, AMR and one first team striker.
Ivovic is too old, yet we had to play him, Ottley is past it and crap, Ptak isn't a good CB, but Ottley is worse so he went there. Vaseljevic had to play DMC despite being an attacking MC.
Even on our bench, we had two GKs, a back up striker and 4 teenagers sub-18 years old FFS. Stanoev (18) had to play 7 minutes! This game is crap

Luckily Aarab came back as soon as Reutershahn got injured, but very worrying

I want to build a legacy here, rather than move on suddenly. In the past I have done that and regretted it at Stromsgodset and Lustenau. I want QPR to win at least 5 Premier League's in a row and a couple of CLs, so that when I move on, we have a very good reputation, a lot of money, and success will continue to happen once I leave.

Not sure what is next for me internationally anymore. I will find it hard to get a job for a while! I had built an amazing squad who didn't perform well in one competition! I had such a good young squad! So annoying!

We got put into a group with Burkina Faso, South Africa and Egypt! Two hard teams. Early goals conceded in each match didn't help, and a lack of cohesive attacking play lead to only 3 goals in those matches - all against Burkina Faso. Out in the group stage.
Where now? I have always stated my desire to manage in a World Cup, so qualifying for that first is paramount. Then to try and win the Confederation Cup and the World Cup - no chance but I'll give it a shot!
In other news - no January signings, 1st in table, with 48 points, takeover bid still going on, they said they would give me a transfer kitty of 75 million, Into League Cup Final with 3-1 aggregate win over Burnley!

We are in a good position in the league and CL now. A good streak of fixtures were only blemished by two back to back 1-0 losses to Aston Villa and Inter. We scraped through the CL and lie 3rd in the league. We have also progressed well in the League Cup!
We now face Benfica, and the fixture they are most famous for in my eyes...
Yes, when Godset announced their place in Europe! You'll also be glad to know, Godset won the Norwegian title again, after a 13 year domination from Rosenborg!
Nothing much has changed, apart from that.

Now, for the Olympics with Nigeria. Like I said, I chose to take charge of them. The bad thing is, we don't have much good youth coming through right now, and we could only take 3 over-23s. I decided to pick Efe Obi, Michael Johnson and Chukwu Kwairanga. We also had QPRs very own Charles Chukwudi and Stanley Skinn from the real squad.First up was a friendly against Mordovia from Russia (never ever seen a club play a country, but this wasn't arranged by myself!)
Demolition. Kwairanga getting 6! And we played 2/3rds of the match with 10 men! We were in a group with Russia (hosts), USA and Kuwait.
We lost to USA, scraped a win out of Kuwait and smashed Russia. Easy enough group. Unluckily though, Efe Obi broke his arm, and Stanley Skinn was suspended. Not helped by our only RB left getting injured and HT, and Chukwudi getting sent off, we got smashed by Australia.
Luckily for me, I have already won this tournament!
Now back to QPR, where we won the Community Shield.
That is all for now. Bye!
