All season without a loss and the final game of 2013 it all falls apart.

I managed to get rid of Stokes, Kayal and Bangura meaning I had about £4 million to spend on a striker and a midfielder.

I've got a replacement for Stokes and in the process of signing a midfielder.

These are the players who are under review. All of them are available for transfer if I can find a suitable replacement before they agree a deal with the club they are in discussions with.

Mouyokolo is talking to a few clubs only one of them is not a pre-contract so hopefully he chooses to go in January to get him off my wage bill. Bangura returned from loan to add to our list of mediocre strikers, I want his £20k p/w wage off my budget. Kayal is unhappy and I'm sure I could find a better and more versatile replacement. Stokes isn't playing well at all, although his goal/game ration looks good 4 of them came in cup games.

It might not look great at first glance but the form was ok. We picked up draws against Shakhtar and Real Madrid but crashed out of Europe in the final round of fixtures. Our league form is getting better, still undefeated and hopefully can carry that through the rest of 2013.

Loving this idea. I'm going to have to give it a go. Love Soccernomics and Moneyball.

Cheers man, that's me just about finished Soccernomics the now.

We've been plagued by injuries the past few weeks and the squads pretty tired so I've sent the worst away on a break and promoted a few youngsters temporary.

Great Start mate! Tough Champions league draw even to finish 3rd! Have u finished Ross County?

Yeah mate it is doing ok so far!

By mr.SPANKY | On 19 January 2014 - 21:14 PM

Ouch, would have to be very lucky to finish third in that group. Good luck mate.

Yeah it is, all depends on the next match really.

Still undefeated in the league but we've threw away a few silly results. Great result away to Madrid but we threw away the lead over Shakhtar as we went 3 games without a win.

We set up a League Cup semi-final tie with Motherwell.

We needed another striker as Yesil's loan finished an Liverpool wanted us to foot half his £10k p/w wage, this was the best I could do. Also I sorted out the left back problem and brought in Tyler Blackett.

I'll upload the file now and send it on.

Yeah it was a good one, a vital too!

We there away a 3 goal lead to bottom of the table Hamilton, probably my fault. I have a few days to do a few transfers before sending it on.

I'm half way to sorting our defence and have a left back in mind. We have the benefit of Liverpool paying his wage until the end of the season too.

Didn't really want to lose him but we were in a bad way and the board accepted. We made just under £2 million but so can't complain.

This leaves us with about £400k for a replacement and £600 p/w under budget.

Yeah you are right the majority of our players are loanees especially defensively which is worrying! 2 good loan players there though!

Looks like were losing McLaughlin back to Liverpool this month they want 50% wage payed that we can't afford so I brought in another right back.

Good, we're back to winning ways.

I brought in two players on. I am worried about the lack of players at the club (permanently), we have no left back and once centre back. I'm going to look to bulk it up a bit.

I'm looking to get some free loans from Liverpool/Fiorentina before I start selling.

Now this is one we definitely should have won! So frustrating!

Ok so a defeat in a fairly matched affair, hopefully we can bounce back with a win. January transfer window is open but we have no cash and are £3k over our wage budget.

A very tough ask to reach the last 16, I'll happily settle to qualify for the Europa League. In the Scottish Cup we drew the Blue Brazil.

I like the amount of clean sheets we seem to be keeping. So this is how the leagues kicked off, three easy wins but Aberdeen made us work hard for the draw. We had to put in a good shift to reach the group stage too, the draws up in a few days. Hopefully its good to us.

Good luck and even though it's Celtic, I will be following as per usual.

Cheers mate, I find it just as interesting following a rival as it is your own team!

A good start to developing my own players, when we get some more money I'm going to try and improve youth recruitment and first team training facilities.

Fantastic idea! Love it.

To add more of a challenge in ... only manage a club owned / run by an American (Chairman / Owner nationality is from USA) or start of in the MLS as it sort of replicates the MLB.

Also hire Damien Comolli as DoF. Beane has said he's the closest guy in football to himself.

Didn't even think of the MLS mate, I'll add it into the into the opening post.

Good start to this and great signing in Pepe, very versitile. Surprised Weiman had such a bad season!

As for the spreadsheet print the stat screen as a web page and copy and paste it into one. I do it to evaluate my squad and look for the weakest position.

Yeah we're on some good form George. Racked up another win to finish off 2017. Tony Watt who Dundee Utd have on loan scored against us, we should look to loan him next season.

Another big win for us, they couldn't cope with us and to be fair it could have been more. Celtic beat Rangers 3-0 to stay on our tail.

Wow Cork City hit the jackpot...

Going well so far man!

I thought of another thing that could make it more like the movie if you're interested. Beene swaps players with other clubs to get someone who fits his 'tactic' (not sure what they call it).

Say you have a target man and you want a deep lying forward. Find your target offer the player you're looking to replace and see there response. Might save some cash. Obviously it wouldn't be possible every transfer.
