#185424 Burton Albion

We have not been able to gain traction with results and started losing games that we should be getting points and vice versa. Not even the FA Cup could give us the opportunity to find some form to take into the league. The best result was the 2-1 win at Anfield using 5-5-0 which was the first win using that formation.
I think we are pretty much safe now and the aim is to finish within the top 10. Arsenal could be sucked into the relegation battle if they are not careful.
Florian Madlamyr arrived on deadline day from Hoffenhiem for a low price of £48k. He should be pushing Eardley hard for the right full back position also Madlamyr's versatility is big asset for the team.
Javier Bolanos will be arriving from Herediano for £160k on 1/1/20 after he has turned 18. I hope to see physical stats improve over the next 2yrs and has some experience of first team football before he arrives has he will be going straight into the senior squad.
Jeremie Bela from Lens for £400k will be replacing Daniel Mayor and may also replace Sliti has the first choice right winger. He can also play behind the striker and on the left wing which will be very beneficial for us.
World Cup 2018
I hope the club gets permission to expand the stadium at the end of season and by the end of the year the stadium is around 14,000.

September was not too bad with 2 draws and 2 loses which were ok considering who were the opposition while the 2 draws were fantastic results. The friendlies between matches provide much needed morale, confidence, fitness and form boost. This period has now provided a solid foundation for me to build on over the remaining games that could filter into the FA Cup. The wins have come against clubs that are on the some level as us which is important has we fight against relegation, it is more important to beat the teams that we are going in and around if slip down the table.
Blackburn are in the process of being taken over as they occupy bottom spot which might not prove to be a worthwhile endeavour. I wonder if we finished above Derby County will we get the expansion to the stadium? We might have another first season of mid-table safety like we did in 2015/16. I would like to see us be the club that disrupts the top4 in the next few years without spending a lot of money. It would hilarious if we got Champions League football at the first attempt with a stadium with the capacity of less than 10,000 and the money would help pay for the bank loans.
Jannik Landwehr, Free Transfer
He has the potential to be a decent Premier League central defender. Hopefully I can pair him with his fellow countryman Nico Perrey to form one of three centre back pairings.
The firrst 10 games need to count for something has we could easily waste this good start if we lose focus and start to worry where the next point, win or goal comes from, if that happens then we can kiss any chance of staying in the Premier League. I hope that do not have to bring in any more players in January but I do have around £5m left. The only major decision is what to with McGurk whose contract expires this season.
Thanks for reading.
#176816 This is not just a career this is an MLS career

depending on the age and if they have not found a club after the draft you, the club, are responsible for his wage, i think a % or the full amount.
I have done mls on fm12 with la galaxy. it is a very competitive league and very complex. it is best to have a young squad.

Cole Stockton, £2.5m from Crystal Palace
I hope he can handle being the club's record signing and the focal point for our attacking play. I also hope that he and McGurk can form a deadly strike force if I decide to play 2 up front. I am very tempted to play 4-2-3-1.
Jake Forster-Caskey, Free Transfer from Brighton
I have scouted him few times since we got promoted but did not have the money to sign. Now that his contract was due to end at Brighton and no compensation fee was a big bonus. I would like to se some improvement in his physical stats but I can see him pulling the strings like Pirlo does for Juventus and Italy in front of the defence (I am not saying Forster-Caskey is good as Pirlo but wanting Forster-Caskey to play a similar role to Pirlo).
Jason McCarthy, Free Transfer
I hope he can become a a decent central defender and he could be a starter straight away but he has to displace the impressive young talent Jordan Baillie.
Neal Eardley, £1.5m from Birmingham City
An experience full back with Premier League experience that is just as good as or better than Montayne with a few extra years.
Preseason Friendlies
Plenty of games to get the whole squad settled and to get know each other. Hopefully they can some form and momentum into the first few games of the season.
Capital One Cup 2nd Round
This the draw I was hoping to get has it would allow to play my back players and keep my starting 11 fresh for the next game.
2017/18 Fixtures (First 19 games)
If I lose all four games in September and are cast a drift from the rest of the bottom half than I could get sacked. The September games are not I wanted at the start of the season especially after just being promoted.
I have already planning for a new save just in case I get the sack from Burton Albion. I am thinking of doing a MLS save with either with Portland Timbers, New England Revolution, Toronto FC or Chivas USA as they finished as the bottom 4 clubs in 2012.

Thanks, I know. The first 2 seasons I had £0 has it went on bonuses and wages then the first season in the Championship was given £100 then the 2016/17 promotion season I was £1m which half went to boost the wage budget to allow to renew player's contracts. I have only spent £3k on getting to the Premier League, Josh Carson from York City however he would have cost £750k in compensation if I signed has a free transfer signing but they transfer listed him for £3k and now he is worth £1m so nearly all of it is pure profit if I sold him. This is the first season where I will be spending money but it wont be all of the budget has I want to keep some back just in case there is an emergency over the winter months where I would need to get someone on loan.
The first 10 games have been played and I will be posting an update in the next few days.
This save is now officially my best one and probably the most enjoyable one on FM or CM. It is great to get a club, one of the smallest clubs, from the bottom of The Football League to the Premier League.
I am doing a preview of the 2017/18 season.
I nice tip to pass onto people is that you dont need big names to succeed but the right players. It is the sum of the parts that counts not the parts.

The title was officially won at Fratton Park and Jack Byrne created history also at the same time becoming a cult hero for the club. The only downside was the lack of goals from McGurk which will not be tolerated next season. Naim Sliti has been sensational since he joined us and he did not need that much to adapt to the English game and conditions.
We could have easily finished in the Playoff Places after spending so much of the season at the top which would be every disappointing. If that happened we would not get promotion via the Playoffs.
The board took some convincing to make funds available to expand the Pirelli Stadium however the local council had other ideas when they rejected our plans for the expansion of the Pirelli Stadium. If we manage to avoid relegtion from the Premier League then I hope we are allowed to expand the stadium.
Improving the youth team facilities is vital to the long term success and survival of the club. I need to see the club producing players for the senior team rather than bringing players each season which puts financial pressure on the club also it cost effective to produce our own players even if the start up costs are high.
Where the hell did the board get £20.50m for transfers and wages from? I know the club got £50m for TV spread of the season but that is about £4m a month. I am hoping to spend only half of it while looking for players on free transfers. I am keeping faith the players that are currently at the club except those that I have not offered new deals to new.
The 2017/18 Season is going to tough but hopefully fun and we stay up.

Back to the Burton Albion save, this has to be the most enjoyable one I have had since my Wigan, Everton and Southampton saves on FM12.
This season so fa has seen a massive improvement across the sqaud especially when Sinnott and Baillie got regular starts in the starting 11. The addition of these 2 players saw us string some amazing results together despite the 2-1 defeat against Bolton. The only major concern is the inconsistant goal scoring form of McGurk where we need him to be on the scoresheet on a regular basis as I believe that my midfield cannot maintain their goal scoring form.
A dozen or so games to play and everything is still to play for from the Championship title to the relegation battle. There are so many teams that are underachieving and a few that are overachieving this is down the managment of the clubs.
FA Cup 3rd Round
This is the first time that we did make it past the 3rd Round since my arrival. This maybe dissappointing but it does allow us to concentrate on the Championship and League Cup.
Capital One Cup
Jose Mourinho talks a lot about clubs playing 19th Century football or parking the bus but he parked the bus in the wrong place against Atletico Madrid so I decided to see if my idea of the parking bus is better than the not so Special Grumpy One.
The 5-5-0 offers more balance and protection than Big Sam's favourite 4-6-0 coupled with the most defensice instructions available.
We lost the 2nd Leg 2-1 despite this great 1st Leg result but it ensured that we would not get hammered over both legs.
This season's Capital One Cup has been fantastic for us and I hope have another run next season depending on which League we are in.

The midfield have been the main reason for the success so far the season especially Sinnott of the left of a midfield 3; Sinnott (BBM) Johnson (DLP(s)) Dyer (BBM) also when Johnson is away the Jamican squad then Jack Byrne steps into the midfield very nicely and he shows signs of being a good Championship player. The defence has vastly improved since Jordan Baillie has replaced Maksimenko at the heart of the defence alongside Veseli.
Manager of the Month
September
October
Those 2 amazing months sees the club climb from 14th to 2nd and hold that position. Being at the Pirelli Stadium for the start of the season has helped the club to build momentum which was lacking this time last season before we moved back once the conversion was completed.
Nico Perrey
Signed on a free transfer. He looks like he could be a decent defender for Championship sides and a good leader once he has gets more experience.
Capital One Cup
4th Round Results
Quarter Final Draw
This is the best run the club has had in the League Cup and to make it to the Semi Final would great plus a top Premier League team, ££££'s.
In Janaury there might be a couple of players leaving but no new faces arriving unless there is an injury crisis. I will be looking for for players, Right Back, Central Defender, Central Midfielder Striker, for next and will try to secure them on precontract signings in their final month of their contract if they are from the English clubs. I hope to able pick up one or two Premier League players which should take us to another level.

On Burton Albion save, Adam McGurk is valued at £1.4m but I will only sell if a club is prepared to pay over £2m for him has it is going to cost me the same amout or more to get a decent young replacement.

For £250k will get you this....
This is a good result for my team and Rangers have some good players that should do well in the Championship if they were playing in the Championship.
Here the rest of the preseason friendly results
Hopefully the players can continue this form into the first few games to give them a good foundation to build the season on.
Second of three straight away games
I was forced to make a couple changes due suspension of Jordan Baillie and Daniel Johnson not being fit enough to play. QPR have struggled since being relegated from the Premiership.
I have found my best 11 now with John Sinnott replacing Adam Reed. Adam McGurk ended a run of 3 league games without a goal.
I hope to have more friendlies during international breaks to give a boost of confidence and game time to those who need it.
The wins over QPR and Middlesbrough shot the club up 9 places which shows that put if you a run together in the Championship it can take you up the table in with a shout of Playoffs.
Capital One Cup
Frist Round
Second Round
Shocks from Notts County and Sheffield Wednesday.
Third Round
I am hoping that the 2 wins over QPR and Middlesbrough will lead to a run of good results should cement a place in the top half with a possible chance of making the Playoff's
