Up and down month going out of 2 cups but decent in the league.4th place still isn't out of reach mate.

Very good form mate.Could be another promotion come the end of the season.

Great 1st season and 2nd looks to be just as good.Didnt catch your last career but will be keeping tabs on this one.Thanks for the words on my thread too.Much appreciated.

mixed start as you said mate but luckily no team are really standing out.im pretty sure you can do it this season

Cheers johno.The Liverpool match in particular was vital I didn't lose as heads had dropped a bit after the Chelsea and juventus losses.I was hoping for more against juventus but the 1st leg did it for me really.












Very shakey start to the game going 1 down early on at Huddersfield but a great fight back and 3-1 win.Gabriel Barbosa and a zakaria bakkali double won it for me as damyan pashev was having an off day.Decent point pickedup at arsenal though I do feel we should of won.Martinez with the early goal to put us ahead before domenico berardi levelled.We had a number of good chances but again pashev had an off day.He wasn't ending the season that well.A good win against villa followed as despite Leighton baines missing from the spot peter keelman and damyan pashev both got on the scoresheet to secure a 2-0 win for us.Then came the single craziest match of this save.Middlesbrough went down to 10 men after harry Maguire got sent off but they went ahead from the penalty spot.I went all out attack and dominated every aspect of play.We attacked and attacked and attacked but every single one was turned away until the 88th minute when zivkovic finally got us the equalizer.Then in injury time Michael keane smashed a great shot into the top corner from just inside the box.61 shots to 1 in my favour shows what sort of game I was watching.Fantastic win at west ham secured the title for me.Adrian rodriguez put us ahead very early on but adam clayton equalized not long after his spot kick was saved.Zakaria bakkali secured the win and the title just before half time.



A great season with some memorable results and we have finally got our first trophy.I wasn't expecting it to be the league as I was only expecting this in around 3 seasons but we are well ahead of schedule.Got 2 tough games coming up so I am happy to wrap it up early.



Through to the semi final after penalties against man utd.Very good to match them for 210 minutes in total but the penalty shootout was very nervy.Keane put into his own net before Jamie Paterson equalized after a comical mistake by de gea.Juan mata scored a beauty of a free kick to put them back ahead but again we levelled this time through hojbjerg.They dominated extra time but we held on until the penalty shootout



Fine win against Norwich.Jamie moore got us off to a great start with a nice finish but chuba akpom scored an equally good finish to level.Then we stepped it up another gear but it took a while until damyan pashev got us back in front.Jamie Paterson rounded off a good win in injury time and send us through to our 2nd FA cup final.



Already had a feeling we would have Chelsea when I saw it was west ham they were playing.After our league win we are on a high though.Im just hoping we are still on similar levels in terms of morale after the man utd home and Tottenham away games.

A great season winning the league and already I am thinking of how to improve and challenge for the league again but also the champions league.

Next update - May

Hope the zlatan transfer works out for you.Whenever I have had him its ended in tears.

Cheers johno.I had a feeling pashev would be good before I loaned him to Newcastle last year but I wanted to see how Woodrow and lukaku did so when they bombed I thought I will give it a go with pashev as 1st choice striker.Didnt think he would be this good.







Not the start I wanted as Chelsea won at our place.Martinez got us off to a flier with the best free kick I have seen on this game so far.He smashed it in from nearly 30 yards into the top corner and it hit the underside of the crossbar before crossing the line.Unfortunately for us it was all downhill from there as they controlled most of the match.Diego costa equalized shortly after half time before eden hazard scored from the spot to win it for them.Went well against Liverpool at anfield though.Baines got the early goal before pashev doubled with a good finish.Tomas Martinez tripled the lead before zaza janashia scored a stunning goal from range to make it 4-0.Markovic scored to make it a bit more respectable for the reds but it was too little too late.Andrija zivkovic put in a superb performance in the last league game of the month with 2 goals.Moore,pashev and Barbosa also on the scoresheet in a dominant win.



The lead stretches to 4 points going into the final 2 months.I still think that united home game towards the end of the season will have some importance but not sure if it would be for 1st place or 2nd place between united and Chelsea who have really come on strong the last couple of months.



A good draw at old Trafford but I cant help but feel we could of finished it off in the 1st go.Kovacic always seems to do well against us and opened the scoring before they went down to 10 men.At this point I did decide to go all out attack and it worked with pashev and gil romero putting us 2-1 up with just over 10 minutes to go.Then Adrian rodriguez my best defender decided to try to be Cristiano Ronaldo on the edge of our box and Bernard equalized to set up a replay.



This was always going to be a tough ask needing at least 2 goals but to be honest it was all them from start to finish and we were lucky to get the draw.Not too disappointed though as next year we will be in a much better position to challenge as long as I can keep all my players.

Next update - April

Decent looking squad.Pre seasons gone well.I think youll do well this season.

Not bad pre season at all mate.Good luck this season.

I didnt want juventus at all mate and i am worried about them.Tehy have so many quality players who can hurt any opposition.









Great month in the league again.Gabriel Barbosa has really hit some good form these last few weeks.Another good brace against Newcastle started off the month.2 very nice finishes too.Andre wisdom with nothing more than a consolation goal for them late on.A good win against Southampton followed as damyan pashev and gabriel Barbosa scored to give us a good 2-0 lead.Another away win at stoke next as pashev got us off to a great start with a nice finish early on before nicolaj thomsen equalized.Ricardo correa put us back in front with a towering header just before half time and the match stayed 2-1.Great win against man city.Pashev again got us started with another good goal before sakho scored a comical own goal.Michael keane then scored a superb back post header to make it 3-0 and the man in form Gabriel Barbosa scored with his first touch of the ball.They scored late on to ruin our clean sheet but another good win for us



Another perfect league month and the gap has closed to 1 point but we have a game in hand now.It wont be played for a few weeks and is arsenal away but if I can avoid defeat I will be happy.2nd to last game of the season man utd visit us in what could be the league decider.



Good performance by most of my fringe players in a good 5-1 win at fratton park.Kleemans goal was an absolute stunner to set us on our way.Safely through to the quarter finals.



Not the best of draws for me and we will do very well to get through.I am in 2 minds to go for it or try to play for a draw.



Not a good first leg for us and we have it all to do in Italy.Everything was going rosey when mainardi put us in front but my former man Malcom and pogba flipped the game.Malcom then added his 2nd to make it 3-1 before oliver scored a late free kick.Hopefully that will be an important goal but we are going to have to play at our best to have any chance of going through.Adrian cubas another one of our former men had a great game with 2 assists.Im not having much luck with former players this season.

After a decent December I needed it to carry on in January if I was to stand any chance of winning the league.January didn't really give me a tough run soi was hoping for maximum points.There was also the small matter of the FA cup game against chesterfield.









A very decent January in the league for me.Leighton baines scored against his former club and andrija zivkovic scored the winner after theo Walcott had equalized.Zivkovic is starting to prove a great signing and the winner in this match was a nice goal with him cutting in from the right onto his left foot.A good win against stuggling crystal palace came next.Tomas Martinez hasn't been his usual match dominating self for a while really but he was in this one with a goal and an assist.Jamie moore and oliver also getting goals in a good performance from our lads.Been waiting a while for zakaria bakkali to really dominate match but against Ipswich he was sensational.Right place at the right time for both his goals and got an assist for Jamie patersons strike.Another 2 goals came for bakkali in our last league match of the month.A damnyan pashev stunner and eugenio mena own goal the others for us in a fantastic win.



The league is still looking very well for us.4 wins from 4 and top by 2 points.Norwich have started dropping points too so it looks like ourselves and man utd could start pulling away a bit.I do have a tough run of fixtures coming up soon so I am hoping I don't start dropping points there.



Revenge was very sweet against chesterfield as I putout my strongest 11 and dominated from start to finish.Pashev with a good double along with van putten and zivkovic sending us through.



Came up against Nottingham forest next and Gabriel Barbosa was immense in this one with a nice hat trick.Hojbjerg had made a mistake for they're goal but made amends with a nice finish to wrap p a good 4-1 win.



A trip to fratton park next and we have got lucky with our draws so far.Surely we are favourites to go through here.



Signed a new contract with the club and extended on my old deal.



I requested the youth recruitment to be made better as part of contract negotiations and they accepted right away.

A good month winning all 6 games and getting a favourable draw in the FA cup.As I mentioned earlier I do have a few hard games in a row shortly so I will need to keep the morale up if we are to do well in them games.There was no more transfer activity in this month apart from selling cauley Woodrow to man city for 9m.A big loss on him but he wasn't performing at all and I wanted to get his 58k a week wages off the books.

Next update - February

The Chelsea game was a great one.Was shocked at how we kept them at bay and despite all the players they had out they still caused me some problems.
















Not a bad month at all really.Started off with a great win against Huddersfield and again just like a lot of times this season damyan pashev was great.Not too happy with the villa game despite scoring the late late equaliser from Barbosa.We were all over them throughout the match.Middlesbrough was a good win with pashev getting another double and zivkovic with a stunner.2 of my former players both scored so that was a bit of a kick in the nads.Nice win against spurs came next with mainardi getting his first league goals for us.Though I play him out wide more often than not I do think he should score more but he has been a good signing so far.Not happy with our 2 mistakes in the united match.We didn't deserve to lose in terms of chances but diabolical defending from us and I hope this match doesn't prove costly come the end of the season.A very nervy game against west ham.We peppered they're goal but could only muster 3.Zivkovic did well in this one and again pashev getting on the score sheet.Decided to play the new years day game and put it in this post.You may see a new name there and he had a stormer after coming on in the 60th minute only taking 1 minute to score a goal off his backside and setting up another.Screen shot of him to follow.



Very happy being top at the turn of the year.Yeah we are still conceding way too many goals but scoring a lot too.Largely thatnks to pashev really though.United will surely push us all the way but just look at Norwich.They look a good side and I was happy with our draw at they're place earlier in the season.



The draw for the 3rd round of the FA cup was made and just look who we have.Last season they dumped us out in my least favourite game of this save and im not going to lie I am expecting a big win as I want revenge.If my main players are fit they will play and it will be all out attack.



Went to Bayern munich in my final group match with qualification already secured.Lost the same score as the reverse fixture but we weren't all that bad.



That's how the group ended up.Bayern by far the best team in the group.



And that's the draw for the next round.Not the team I wanted that's for sure but it could of been worse.Juventus are a major club with some class players so should I qualify for the quarters again I will be very happy.



Quick look at my new signing.7m from boca.Already got cauley Woodrow on the transfer list.He hasn't been nowhere near the player I was expecting.



And finally I just wanted to share just how good this lad has done for me.Just turned 20 and cost 3m from litex.Only 30th of December and already broke my top scorer record for the season.20 league goals in 20 games so far and top scorer by 7 goals.



Nice record for Bulgaria too.

Next update - January

Good luck in the new season mate.Hope you get it this time.Thats a great record of trophies.

If its one of the maybe wolves.Pretty sure they have good facilities.Leali never made Italy squad on my save.Currently they have sirigu,consigli and scuffet.All are better than leali.

I am starting to think its only a matter of time before I win it now.Im hoping this season or the next 2 after that.Well ahead of where I expected us to be at the beginning of this career though.

As you said its the inconsistency that's the problem.Hope you turn it around but I think top will be out of reach now.Good luck though.

That with santon has happened to me a few times and it is frustrating.They don't realise that grass isn't always greener at a bigger club though.I have lost sisto and Roberts to Chelsea over the years and sisto has played 16 league games in 5 and half years while Roberts has only played 6 times since his move in the summer.Some clubs (mostly city and Chelsea) but players to weaken other teams rather strengthen theirs I think.And that's in real life too.I am now having the same problem with gil romero wanting to go to man utd as he wants to win the champions league.Personally think he has just enough of a chance with us than them.

Congratulations on your double award.Well deserved I think.

Good luck in wrapping up Portugal.I think it is the right move with a relegated team.

Hit and miss month in October with a couple of losses and getting knocked out the cup but a couple of good league wins meant it wasn't as bad as it could of been.A couple of big matches coming up in the league and an important trip to rome and a home game against kobenhaven as I looked to make sure I didn't crash out the champions league.









Great start to the month with a good 2-0 win against arsenal.Pashev with a double.Forget what it says in the report.Pashev only had the 1 penalty which came back off the bar before he nodded in the rebound.He got another just passed the hour mark to cap a good performance.I decided to go toe to toe with Chelsea who were missing 7 players through injury and we came away with an amazing 3-0 win.I couldn't be happier with this match.Was disappointed though against Liverpool.Despite having a great season so far pashev only got 1 but wasted at least 5.Was gutted when emre can equalised deep in injury time.Was happy with a point at Norwich though.They seem like a very good team this season but we are the first in a tough run for them though so they could be a bit further down the table come the turn of the year.



The top 4 seem to of got a bit of a gap from 5thj place Chelsea who with they're injuries have struggled this month.They have got all but costa and hazard back so I think they might turn it around a bit now.I am happy with our position and with 3 clean sheets this month I am hoping we have sorted the defence a bit.No tactics have been changed but oliveira has been good.



This isn't what I wanted.Robin van persie scored a lot against us in his man utd days and now has 1 for roma against us.We never got going and now can look nervously over our shoulders.




A great win even if it is only kobenhaven.Mainardi with his first goals for us was great.Barbosa too showed why we got him in on loan.



Probably the most pointless group standings left in the champions league.No pressure on anyone in the final games with all 4 positions nailed down for the respective teams.I am a bit gutted with only 2nd but glad we have qualified.

Congratulations on the perfect month,promotion and 1st place (surely impossible not to be).

Nice gap.Must be yours now despite the leiria loss.luca ferrante has done well for you over last few months.

Perfect month but leiria look to be pushing you hard.Hope you can keep the consistency up mate.

That is a bad blip for you but its not too costly.Still very much in the running.

The Liverpool match was expected given they are a good football team and had knocked me out twice before at their place but the Swansea match was poor for me.Down to 10 for so long and nowhere near the players abilities I have but that's football for you.Very happy with the river plate link.Thats 3 out of 4 I have personally requested specific clubs (The others being Columbus and Shandong).Cruzeiro rejected me a couple of seasons back.







What a poor start to the league month.Was 5-0 down by half time as everything they did seemed to result in a goal.They're 18 year old regen was destroying us.Got a goal back and it was a stunner from zivkovic but this was a horrible game.In terms of performance the stoke game wasn't much better.Damyan pashev was great though and got a good hat trick.He was the difference in this game.Again another bad performance against man city but the Fernando red card was the turning point as you can tell.Great result but we are still conceding too many goals.One very bad thing to come out the city match was an injury to tomas Martinez.Out for the whole of November and we have some big games coming up too.



We are lucky a few of the other teams around us have dropped points.It is very close in the league and our next 2 matches could see us drop out of the top 4 and maybe go more down the table if results go against us and we lose them both.Or if we were to do well we would be in a great position.




Cant be too happy about this either.They set they're team up very defensively and just sat back most of the match.2 mistakes by our own players handing it to them and for the 2nd game in a few I lost to a team who were down to 10 for a lot of the match and still scored against us with 10 men.



We have to thank the referee for this win as the roma red card so early on was never a sending off as he had 2 players covering him who could of got back in position easily.Still this was a win we needed.Tomas Martinez with the only goal of this game and rather than attack and look for more as I have done recently and it backfired big time I changed tactic and went more defensive.The clean sheet is encouraging.



If I can avoid defeat in rome I will be in a very good position to qualify.If I lose I do still have to go to munich so it might be tough then.I doubt top spot will be mine this year though.

A stroke of looking landing on these.You still have a job to do though but you can certainly do it.

My laptop restarted on its own last night and I lost a full month.Seems all you can do to protect your game properly is do a rolling autosave every week and do the same for a backup.Wouldnt mind but its takes about 2 minutes to save every time.

They would be no way good enough.Leali is actually a decent gk though.Just offer him out and a couple of decent clubs would come in.League 1,championship or Scottish prem would be good for him.

Just make sure if you do loan him out he is first team regular or key player.If he only lays a handful of games there isn't much point in the loan.

One thing I personally would definitely do is loan the dutch lad out.I bought this lad simone piras from Vancouver.Loaned him out for 2 years and had this bog standard polish gk as backup to johnstone.Didnt think I would end up getting that Portuguese gk and had it in me head johnstone would be number 1 for a few years and piras would take over from him but ended up getting oliveira in instead.Now piras is my back up and maybe become number 1.At 17/18 heis too young I reckon.

Well done on completing Poland mate.Looking forward to seeing where you go next on this epic journey.Wales?
