Ruiz and Munoz look very good! I'd personally put Ruiz upfront rather than winger


I was thinking that, will give him a trial run in few games in the cup.

I kept an eye on Spain during the World Cup here is how they got on (!)

Yes that's right, Jamaica finished 2nd! Spain needed to beat them in last game and only manage to draw 1-1.

Spain sacked Del Bosque and appointed Guardiola.

Pre season 2014 – Athletic Bilbao

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/8rPqF9FwfpBPv7lb2DOdcX3uSy7a95M1FikySxtH.png

Napoli was the first team to face as our pre season for this season. A game where we should have won. Munoz has a goal disallowed. Rico and Moran both gave away for 2 of their goals ffs.

Decided to go on tour to China to boost income.

We start the season with home to Villarreal.

We playing Barcelona in Supercopa, first leg away.

And our new captain for this season is Ander Herrera. Decided to go for him as he's young and regular starter. Gurpegi lost the plot when he lost the captaincy.

Transfers

Released a lot of players in the summer as they ain't good enough to play for Bilbao. I decided to invest in the youth in the summer as we got vast of experience players in the team. Also promoted handful of players from Bilbao Athletic. Iker's move to Spurs is delayed til I find some replacements for him.

https://sortitoutsi.b-cdn.net/uploads/mirrored_images/swVUTcdL3FGjmwNEUcm0Uft35d4nZs32MfP2VJla.png
Promising defender, definitely overpaid for him. Going to work on his physical.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Z5m87JOWuWXJIt0J7mALxDD3h9336VWmlUfS8BDQ.png
Another promising attacking midfielder, scout rated him very highly. Will be keeping eye on his development over the season. Thinking about retraining him to winger or ST? Any suggestions?

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/i7hz4fGL6bs5dXrHiTcTpmmeVdY3KKvquIsCKjaM.png
Scout found him while on scouting mission. Promising keeper and got Iraizoz tutoring him, will be no 1 keeper when Iraizoz retires.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ej8O6jZ6YjwUYU5lrY20WHTe9rDGpFgkUlk2KzEF.png
Spent 6.5m on him. Scouts were crazy about him, already played 2 games in the pre season, 2 goals, 2 assists and 1 MOTM. Being tutored by Ander Iturraspe.

So you sold your best MC and replace him with 36 years old ?

Unlucky about Bilbao result. Hopefully you can turn it around in 2nd leg.

Good season, I do like the Basque transfer policy as an FM concept, the only thing that puts me off managing them properly is the fact that the club are already so well built up. I'd love in FM to be able to filter players by what region of the country they were born in so I could extend the policy to smaller clubs, the closest you can get is signing players only from your home nation.


I do agree with your point and I agree, that would be interesting.

Congrats on winning the league.


Cheers Shedender

Brilliant mate, an outstanding achievement. After my successes in year one, I didn't get much money to play with either. All about retention in the first few years!


Cheers Kez Yeah, I was expecting tad more than 5M but probably due I signed a young defender from Villarreal for 5.25M.

A good couple of players in the intake chap, shame there wasn't more! unlucky in the copa del rey final but the league is yours to lose! and ensuring CL football next season is huge!


I agree, was hoping for a goalkeeper through the intakes. I wasn't expecting to win the final anyway. Yes We will be getting 50M for the Champions League which will be helpful as we're losing month (around 1- 1.5M) every month since I started with Bilbao.

May 2014 – Athletic Bilbao

La Liga

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/x08uKHoFlVW32YNkYlQweXZnAnh8PBubHc6E7WnH.png

We faced Rayo, away. Razvan Rat headed in Susaeta's cross into his own net on 30th minutes. 9 minutes later we was awarded a penalty after Guillermo was fouled. Iraola converted to make it 2-0. Guillermo's strike on 43rd minute to go 3-0 up against Rayo. Guillermo bagged another goal of the game in 61st minute which practically was game over. Iturraspe decided to add his name to the score sheet on 89th minute to give us 5-0 and 3 points

Real Madrid watch: Real Madrid 2-1 Valencia

We welcome our biggest rival, Real Sociedad, hoping our last match against them was no repeat. Herrera was diciting the show with a cracker outside the box to give us the lead. 26th minute, Laporte headed in Herrera corner kick to put us up 2 goals. Thankfully it was never a repeat like last time.

Real Madrid watch: Celta 1-2 Real Madrid

Biggest game of our season. away to Almeria, knowing we needs a draw to win the La Liga, I decided to give Larrayoz his 2nd start of the season. He put us ahead on 26th minute. lack of concentration from Iraola gave Vidal the slip to level the score. We dominated all over since they scored. And the team was really wasteful and few shots hit the post and went out. We had a penalty on 90+2 minutes which San José just blasted it at the keeper to leave us with a point.

Real Madrid watch: Real Madrid 8-0 Espanyol.

Annoyed that Del Bosque overlooked Susaeta and Herrera for the World Cup squad. Ridiculous.

Next season
Champions League next season No doubt it will give us massive boost to our club balance.
Will try offload deadwood players in the summer.
Tighten up our defence.

April 2014 – Athletic Bilbao


La Liga

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/0fhStpPIzIl2Ro5OX2NPHtQQYmMhtfGSuXi6LDWX.png

First game of the month was away to Levante, We raced to 2-0 up thanks to Susaeta double brace. All of sudden we ended up giving away 2 goals within succession around 60th minutes which I was fuming. But thanks god for Susaeta bagged his hat trick on 80th minutes to give us the win which we needed.

We welcome Malaga to San Mamés, before the game, Bernd Schuster was dissing my team and I told him that we will batter his team and yet we did. We took the lead on 20th minutes through Guillermo, 50 seconds later, they equalized out of nowhere. Then afterwards we dominated the game and won 4-1 with ease.

We travel to Nou Camp for our match against Barcelona and Messi ripped us apart and Mikel Jose was shocking and let him ran past him so many times. They was given conversational penalty on 12th minutes. We just didn't turn up and Messi ran the show with a hat trick and a goal from Sanchez.

Sevilla visit San Mamés for our match, It was walk in the park for us and Laporte's double from corner. Sevilla couldn't break us down til 90th minutes to pull one back for them.

Cope Del Rey

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/j6O120WokAZlg3zeopaoB5YsvShBSYkDI37iw33f.png

Gutted to lose in the final, Barcelona scored 2 goals on 7th and 11th minutes which was a massive step upwards for us, But I'm glad we got to the final in the end.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/7mP5MNt6w1emLWVl2ExXLOkBfuLIg2kZHyQaloc0.png
I think the title is in our hands and it's up to us to see it out. Still 3 points ahead.
