I Can Score Even More Goals Than You!

[Charlesbeams]

World Cup Knockout Stage




Elsewhere there is good news for Chopper who has been strongly linked with the Chile job. The 3 free transfer players are currently looking for clubs.

Also Page 10 now

[Whoopy D]

Cyprus went through over Bulgaria

Well that's massively embarassing.

I think the last thing I need is a move away from my club, just knuckle down and reach 200 goals first, then think about where I want to retire.

Oooo, interesting!!

[Charlesbeams]

Unfortunately they picked a crappy newgen manager with no managing experience at all over you.

[chopper99]

Rubbish

[Charlesbeams]

September update fairly soon, and we have at least 1 transfer to mention so far, and it's for money, not one of the free players.

[Charlesbeams]

September 2026

Just one transfer to mention for now and it's not any of the free transfered players, they are all still looking for a club.

The move is for Mathew Schneider who seems to be a replacement for Jordan Swinburn who left Napoli. He joins the Serie A champions for £5.25m

Some other news, first concerning Jimmio Bowmanaggio who has been transfer and loan listed by Juventus, could be good or bad news really. Another player on the transfer list is Long Tym Toon Jr. it seems he isn't registered for the league either.


Injury news now and first off is Arie Kanarie who has a torn hamstring and will miss 2 months of football. David Le Soire will be disappointed to miss up to 5 weeks with damaged achilles tendon, meaning those around him could gain advantages. The last injury is Quique Sanchez-Tredwell who will be spending up to 7 weeks on the sideline with a double hernia.

[Charlesbeams]

Good news for Silvio Mella who has found himself a club. He rejected Swansea and has moved to Spanish side Sporting, scoring on his debut.

The other 2 are still looking for a club, Jordan Swinburn rejected Man City.

[jimbowmanuk]

Hopefully Bowmanaggio can get some action in the Serie B and score some goals, but knowing his luck he'll not attract interest

[Tullem]

Good news for Silvio Mella who has found himself a club. He rejected Swansea and has moved to Spanish side Sporting, scoring on his debut.

That's very good news Hopefully he'll get the games he needs.

[Twellman24]

Sorry, but there was actually 4 warnings overall, the first was let off though back in February. Unfortunately i can't do much about it now.

So many people post here that I just scrolled to the screenies and status updates--maybe next time you can put something on the first post so I can look for warnings

Thanks for the effort nevertheless, I enjoyed my short career, although I was curious to see if I'd have left to another team after my last few years in Italy.

Cheers

[chopper99]

It's just standard form to get involved in a thread you're signed up to. Otherwise why would people put effort into running them?

[Biscotti]

It's just standard form to get involved in a thread you're signed up to. Otherwise why would people put effort into running them?

I don't think Twellman is complaining about his player being retired for inactivity, per se, I think he's just a little disappointed that he missed the warnings.

I agree that it's good form to get involved - for 90% of the sign-ips and experiments, it's extremely easy to lose interest in running them if it seems like there's not a lot of interest in them from other people.

[mightymariner]

Bad season, bad world cup. Could have got through the group stages if I didn't get injured with that international form.

September 2026
David Le Soire will be disappointed to miss up to 5 weeks with damaged achilles tendon, meaning those around him could gain advantages.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Need an extra good season when I recover and for everyone else to have a not very good one.

[Goldyrulz]

I hope I find a club at some point.....

[David Corperial]

That's great, am I getting time at Napoli?

[18Rabbit]

Pleased to have passed the 400 mark. Widow is a beast.

[Charlesbeams]

I hope I find a club at some point.....

Ben has found a club. He's moved back to England to play for Premier League side Huddersfield


Just into November and Jordan Swinburn has rejected Real Madrid, Villarreal and Sevilla :S is he daft or what. He has 2 more offers currently, from Sampdoria and Fiorentina, i'm guessing he'll be rejecting them.

[Charlesbeams]

That's great, am I getting time at Napoli?

You'll have to wait and see in the February update possibly up today.

[Lower Leagues Rule]

Hey Charles,
Just thought I would pass along that from the end of the week I am on holiday in Melbourne (following my Phoenix) for about ten days, so I might not be around/comment, depending on what's happening.

Come on Radakovic make me proud.
Jono

[Charlesbeams]

No problem, Radakovic might be a manager when you get back

Some news for 2 people. Chopper has left struggling Fatima and has joined fellow Portuguese side Academica.

And Jordan Swinburn found a new club. He's staying in Italy and has joined Fiorentina.

[toonbalmy87]

Didn't realise but your contract ran out in Decemeber and Long Tym Toon Jr. is looking for a new club. Edit: just had a look and i was wrong, not sure what happened, but you've left anyway

The next update will be tomorrow afternoon some time. It looks like we'll be seeing quite a few players leaving on a free come the end of the season.

[Twellman24]

Exactly Biscotti--not about being retired, about having missed the warnings because honestly, on these threads I skip all the comments on other players which I d0o't care about. I look at the updates, the goal scorers list, done.

As a story writer and forum moderator in plenty of FM forums for the past seven years, I'm of the school of thought of not saying anything unless it adds value to the post. So I rather follow in the shadows and maybe even with more interest than the one who swings by and posts "great thread yadda yadda yadda". I've been online for four years now, and I have less posts than someone registering in 2011. I rather to read than to write.

Just saying.

But I'm an old fart, so that may be different for most people.

I don't think you should bother coming to Melbourne, you're just gonna go back home embarrassed :P

[Spamjabber]

I don't think White Wids will finish top now, the retirement thing from international football is disappointing. Althought the injury to Le Soire is all good, keep them coming please

[Charlesbeams]

It all depends on who retires first out of maybe 4 or 5 players

Currently doing the update.

[Charlesbeams]

February 2027

Players

Nick Adam - Nick is struggling for games again this season at Marseille with just 3(1) played so far and 1 goal scored. He's scored 3 in the last 11 for Australia and needs 8 goals for 100 national goals. He is now over 250 career goals too.

Bakra - Bakra is having a great season again for Feyenoord, playing 28 games for them so far and scoring 20 goals. He is now over 300 career goals. He's made 3 sub appearances for Holland without scoring too. He is enjoying playing for the club.

Jimmio Bowmanaggio - It's still not good for Jimmio who is in the Juventus reserves team, loan listed and transfer listed. He's played no games, so no goals. His contract will run out at the end of this season and he'll most likely be leaving.

Rocky Brittus - Rocky isn't doing too badly so far this season, scoring 10 goals from 20 games. He's not had any chances with Holland for a while now either. He is enjoying playing for the club.

Matthew Cooper - It's not looking too great for Matthew so far this season, playing 11(11) games for Arsenal, scoring just 5 goals. He's made 1 sub appearances for England without a goal. He spent 6 weeks out at the start of the year.

Josh Crane - Josh is playing quite well for Inter at the moment, playing 12(9) games and scoring 12 goals. He is now over 250 career goals. Josh has made 3 sub appearances for England without a goal.

Whoopski Deeski - A very similar scene for Whoopski who has played 16(1) games for Spartak so far and scored 9 goals. He's still 8 away from 200 career goals. He's not made any appearances for Bulgaria this season.

Edmond Doustourian - Edmond is playing fairy well in what is most likely his last season for Dnipro as he's decided to leave on a free at the end of the season. He's played 17(1) so far for them and scored 9 goals.

Simone Finke - It's not going too well for Simone who is currently recovering from a broken cheekbone. He should return in around 2 weeks. He's played 17 games for Bremen so far and scored 8 goals, taking him over 200 career goals.

Ben Goldsmith - Ben moved back to England and is playing for Huddersfield and things are going ok so far. He's played 15(3) games for his new club and scored 10 goals. He is happy playing for the club.

Alejandro Hernandez - It's a poor season so far for Hernandez who is struggling in front of goal. He has scored just 5 goals in 19(6) games for Xerez so far. He needs 23 more goals to get to his next milestone.

Arie Kanarie - Arie is having a pretty good season for Portsmouth again and has scored again against Arsenal. He's played 15(3) games so far and scored 11 goals. He needs just 8 more goals to reach 400 career goals.

Igor Kesina - Igor is playing ok for Lille, but he's finally decided he should leave and will do at the end of the season. He's played 18(1) games so far and scored 11 goals. He's scored 5 in 5 for Croatia too. Is currently recovering for 3 months with a broken foot.

David Le Soire - David missed 3 months of football, leaving those around him gaining small advantages. He's played 7 games since returning and has scored 4 goals. He's scored 1 in 1(1) for France too.

Long Tym Toon Jr. - No more goals for Long Tym Toon Jr. who has now left Real Sociedad and is searching for a new club. No teams are currently interested though. If he finds a new club he'll need 12 goals for 300 carer goals.

Jason McIllmurray Jr. - Jason is playing well so far this season for club and country. He's played 26(2) games for Dortmund, scoring 16 goals and he's got 4 in the last 5 for N.Ireland. Another 16 goals will get him to 350 career goals.

Silvio Mella - Silvio is playing fairly well for his new club, but will just be glad to be playing quite often. He's made 12(8) appearances so far and he's scored 7 goals. Another 15 goals will see him reach 300 career goals.

Kwesi Owusu - Kwesi is having another fantastic season and could easily reach 350 career goals by the end of it. He's already got 20 goals in 28 games for Chelsea and 4 in 1(7) for Nigeria. He needs 11 goals for 350.

Quique Sanchez-Tredwell - The lack of international goals makes it look like he's not having a great season. To be fair he missed 6 weeks of football in September. He's scored 9 in 15 so far for Atlas who finished 5th in the Opening Stage.

Aleksander Radakovic - Aleksander is currently recovering from a damaged foot and could miss 2 weeks of football. Before his injury he'd played 19(2) games for Lazio and scored 13 goals. His contract runs out at the end of the season, but hasn't decided if he's leaving or not.

Bjorgvin Radebe Jr. - Possibly some good news for Bjorgvin, who could leave Stoke at the end of the season when his contract runs out. Why he hasn't picked a free transfer yet i don't know. No games or goals so far this season.

Mathew Schneider - Mathew left Valencia having spent 11 years there and joined Napoli. He hasn't been playing too often though for his new club, with 7(2) games played and 5 goals scored. He needs 17 goals to reach 400 career goals.

Stuart Shaw - Stuart is playing fairly well for Man Utd again, but is falling behind more and more each time. He's played 24 games so far and has scored 11 goals. He is now over 450 career goals.

Murt Shepard - It's still going really well for Murt at Bordeaux and he now needs just 3 goals to reach 400 career goals. He's played 28 so far for his club and scored 19 goals. He also has 5 in 7 for Ireland.

Tom Skull - It seems Tom isn't getting quite as many games anymore for Valencia, with 18(7) played so far, scoring 10 goals. He's also scored 2 in the last 6 for England. He needs probably a miracle 28 goals for 500 career goals.

Mario Spehar - Mario seems to be playing a bit more often this season and has already scored more goals than last season. He's played 11(2) for Inter and scored 7 goals. He's also been in great form for Croatia with 10 in the last 7.

Jordan Swinburn - Jordan left Napoli after 15 years with them and joined fellow Italian side, Fiorentina. He's not been played too often so far with 3(3) games and he has scored 5 goals. His contract runs out at the end of the season and he could leave.

The Mad Scot - The Mad Scot is having another good season for Celtic so far. He has played 31(1) games for his club and has found the net 15 times. He also has 4 in 7 for Scotland. 24 more goals for 450 career goals.

White Widow - Showing that he doesn't need international football to get him plenty of goals. He's played 22(1) games for Lorient so far and has scored 15 goals. He is now 34 goals ahead of David le Soire.

Wanted
Nick Adam - Stoke

Staff

Chopper - Chopper left struggling Fatima for Academica, who are now also struggling in the league. He is disappointed at how things are currently going. His last game was actually against Fatima, it ended 3-0 to his new side.

**7 Goals before the game started.
*2 Goals before the game started.

[Charlesbeams]

So there is a possibility that 7 players will be free at the end of June.

[18Rabbit]

It'd be nice to make 450, glad to see that the Scot is still playing strong. Not quite as good as he was before but still bagging goals.

[skullage]

If I can get a move away quickly to a lower standard of league I think there's a chance I can get to 500.

[jimbowmanuk]

I can see Bowmanaggio retiring at the end of the season and dropping out of football altogether now

[Whoopy D]

If I can manage a very late surge in goals then I might not be the lowest scorer, not far away from 200 now which I'll be surprised and delighted to reach.

[Biscotti]

Looking better for Spehar - maybe he can limp to 300 yet

[ShyBaldBuddhist]

Good to finally break the 200 mark. Now on to 300

[Thandui]

Hopefully will make the 300 milestone!

[PRDH]

Hopefully when Doustourian leaves he'll find a nice club in a mediocre league where he can begin to absolutely pummel teams.

[Charlesbeams]

Thought there could be an update tonight, but it's very unlikely now, so tomorrow probably.

[Charlesbeams]

Long Tym Toon Jr. has retired and became a youth coach at a club in Russia. Will post a retirement update tomorrow and make him likely to be a manager.

[Charlesbeams]

Long Tym Toon Jr. Hangs Up His Boots

Failed to find a club to play for, so he's joined Dinamo Moscow as a Youth Coach.

Will make him better suited to be a manager with FMRTE and hopefully when his contract runs out at the end of next seasons he'll become a manager or maybe earlier.

I say i'll use FMRTE, but it doesn't seem to be working right now, probably because of the recent update.

[Charlesbeams]

Just before i start doing the next update, last years top scorer was Tom Skull again, with 43 goals.

[Charlesbeams]

End of Season 2026/27

Players

Nick Adam - It's a bad season for Nick again and he's transfer and loan listed too. He scored just 2 goals in 3(3) games for Marseille and 3 in 12 for Australia. He still need 8 for Australia for 100. Marseille won the league and the Coupe de la Ligue.

Bakra - A fantastic season for Bakra, easily his best yet. He played 40 games for Feyenoord scoring 30 goals. Feyenoord finished 3rd in the league and Bakra scored twice in the Dutch Super Cup to win it.

Jimmio Bowmanaggio - Another bad season for Jimmio who will most likely be leaving at the end of this month. He did get 2 sub appearances this season, scoring 2 goals. He is currently in the reserve team. Juventus finished 7th in the league.

Rocky Brittus - Not a great season for Rocky, but he is still scoring, which is the main thing. He played 31 games for Vitesse and scored 13 goals. Vitesse had a great season, finishing 2nd in the league.

Matthew Cooper - Not a good season for Matthew really, scoring just 8 goals over 14(17) games for Arsenal. He made 1 sub appearance for England, without a goal. Arsenal finished 4th in the league and were poor elsewhere.

Josh Crane - A good season for Josh again for Inter. He played 24(10) games for the club, scoring 20 goals. He also made 5 sub appearances for England without scoring. Inter finished 6th in the league and a 120th minute penalty by Josh won them the Italian Cup.

Whoopski Deeski - Not a good season for Whoopski as 200 goals is still 5 goals away for him. He made 23(2) appearances for Spartak and scored 11 goals. He also got 1 in 1(1) for Bulgaria. Spartak finished 4th in the league.

Edmond Doustourian - A pretty poor farewell season for Edmond as he plans to leave the club. He scored 9 goals in 17(1) games for his club and 1 in 6 for country. Dnipro had another poor season, finishing in 12th place.

Simone Finke - It wasn't a great season for Simone, scoring 12 goals in 28 games for Bremen, but it's better than no goals. Bremen had a fairy poor season, finishing 7th in the league and having a poor cup run.

Ben Goldsmith - Ben played fairly well in his first season for Huddersfield, but it could easily have been better. He played 27(5) games and scored 14 goals. He also signed a new 1 year contract. Huddersfield finished 10th in the league.

Alejandro Hernandez - Not a great season for Alejandro, who scored 12 goals in 26(10) games for Xerez. He needs 16 goals for 300 career goals. Xerez finished 13th in the league and were also Spanish Cup semi-finalists.

Arie Kanarie - Another good season for Arie at Portsmouth, scoring 21 goals in 27(6) games, he didn't score any in 6 games for Holland though. He is now over 400 career goals. Portsmouth finished 8th in the league and were Community Shield runners up.

Igor Kesina - Igor will be leaving Lille shortly having spent 16 years at the club, Liverpool are already interested in signing him. In his last season for them, he scored 12 goals in 23(2) games. He also scored 5 in 6 for Croatia. Lille finished 13th in the league.

David Le Soire - If only he'd had an extra 3 months of football he might have passed the 500 mark. However he misses out by 4 goals, scoring 15 in 27 for Zurich and 1 in 2(1) for France. Zurich finished 2nd in the league.

Jason McIllmurray Jr. - Jason had a fairly good season again for Dortmund, scoring 21 goals in 40(3) games. He scored 8 in 10 for N.Ireland too. He needs 7 goals for 350 career goals. Dortmund finished 4th in the league.

Silvio Mella - Silvio didn't have a great season for goals, but just playing plenty is better than it was recently for PSG. He played 28(9) for Sporting and scored 11 goals. He helped Sporting get into Europe again, finishing 5th. 11 more goals for 300.

Kwesi Owusu - A pretty awful 2nd half of the season for Kwesi, scoring just 3 more goals, ending on 23 in 39(1) for Chelsea. He scored 6 in 2(9) for Nigeria this season too. Chelsea finished 5th in the league, won the Euro Super Cup and the League Cup.

Quique Sanchez-Tredwell - A fairly good season for the Jamaican striker, scoring 16 goals in 29 games for Atlas.He is enjoying playing for the club. Atlas were runners up in the Closing Stage of the league.

Aleksander Radakovic - Aleksander had a good season for Lazio and signed a new contract until the end of next season. He played 31(3) games for Lazio, scoring 26 goals, taking him over 300 career goals. Lazio finished 3rd, but failed in the play-offs again.

Bjorgvin Radebe Jr. - A bad season once again for Bjorgvin who finally has the chance to leave the club at the end of this month. He didn't get any games at all for club or country. Stoke finished 11th in the Premier League.

Mathew Schneider - Mathew had a pretty good first season with Napoli, scoring 13 goals in 17(3) games. He needs just 9 more to reach 400 career goals. Napoli won the league again, but also lost in the Italian Super Cup.

Stuart Shaw - Stuart is falling behind a little in recent seasons, which could be because of retiring from international football. He scored 17 goals for Man Utd in 33 games, helping them finish 3rd in the league.

Murt Shepard - A very good season for Murt, scoring 30 goals for Bordeaux in 45 games. He also got 12 in 12 for Ireland. He is now over 400 career goals too. Bordeaux were poor in cups and finished 11th in the league.

Tom Skull - Not a great season for Tom, but still over 20 goals scored. He played 35(10) for Valencia and scored 23 goals. He also got 2 in 9 for England. Just 15 more goals will see him reach 500 career goals. Valencia finished 4th in the league, won the Super Cup, Club World Cup and were Euro Super Cup runners up.

Mario Spehar - A better season for Mario, playing 18(6) games for Inter and scored 12 goals. He also got 11 in 10 for Croatia. 3 more caps for Croatia until 100. Inter finished 6th in the league and won the Italian Cup.

Jordan Swinburn - It wasn't a great season for Jordan for games, but when he played he scored. He got 8(5) appearances for Fiorentina and scored 8 goals, none against Napoli. Fiorentina finished 3rd in the league and won the Italian Super Cup.

The Mad Scot - The Mad Scot is still a consistant goalscorer for Celtic, scoring 24 this season in 45(1) games. He scored 6 in 10 for Scotland too. Celtic had a cup free season, finishing 2nd in the league. He needs 79 more Celtic league goals to become the clubs highest league scorer ever, a tough ask.

White Widow - A good season for the top scorer again, with 22 goals in 38(1) games for Lorient. 24 more goals will get him to 550 career goals. Lorient finished 7th in the league, just missing out on European football.

Wanted
Igor Kesina - Liverpool

Staff

Chopper - A good decision from Chopper to leave Fatima as they get relegated. He took his Academica side to 9th in the league and to the semi finals of both the League Cup and Taca de Portugal. A succesful season i'd say.

Long Tym Toon Jr. - The South Korean decided to retire from playing having not found a club. He became a Youth Coach for Dinamo Moscow. Dinamo finished 5th in the league.

**7 Goals before the game started.
*2 Goals before the game started.

[ShyBaldBuddhist]

Poor season for Finke. Physical attributes still look quite good though so hoping he is not considering retiring yet. Should be good enough to carry on for a few more years.

[Tullem]

Yeah Mella didn't have the best of season, but good a good number of games and goals still slowly rising. Also impressed how his physicals are still pretty high.

[Biscotti]

Just need another 27 to reach 300. Probably need at least 2 seasons for that, but not impossible providing Inter keep playing me or I find another club that will.

[mightymariner]

Must score more, Skull cannot catch me if I keep scoring, but the goals seem to be drying up.

[18Rabbit]

79 more goals to break the Celtic record, yikes.

[PRDH]

Disappointing to part from Dnipro after a dodgy season. Hopefully it won't discourage people from taking a chance on me. He doesn't look ready for a staff job yet to me.

[toonbalmy87]

Oh Well wasnt to bad of career if I played more for the clubs I reckon I could of been nearer to the top

[Charlesbeams]

Not sure if Twellman24 is still reading, but his player is still actually around as staff, no club or anything though.

So once FMRTE is working with the new patch, i'll make his stats better and follow him again, IF he wants me to. He could easily retire though.

Holidaying now and hopefully those players leaving on a free find clubs by September. Would be nice to get some more staff too though.

[jimbowmanuk]

I wonder what staff role Bowmanaggio will get? Shouldn't have too long to wait to find out surely. I can see him retiring before the new season starts

[Charlesbeams]

It's taking forever as usual, but hopefully we'll find out by the end of the night. Probably because the save game is 500mb or so.

One player has announced his retirement though and will retire on 30th June, so i'll have his retirement update in a bit.

[skullage]

A decent season considering his age now, just got keep up the form to stay in the first team.

[Charlesbeams]

Bjorgvin Radebe Jr. Calls It A Day

Retiring, probably due to Stoke not playing him often enough.

Not quite as good as his father was, but if only Stoke had played him a bit more, he might have reached 300 or something.

Quite a long time out injured too.

[Deadmaninc21]

30 goals at 32 years is pretty big. I guess Bakra is a late bloomer

[Charlesbeams]

Jimmio Bowmanaggio, Edmond Doustourian and Igor Kesina have left their clubs and will now be looking for another, if not they'll probably retire. Will probably find out, tomorrow.

Nearly all remaining players have just a year remaining on their contracts, could be a lot of players leaving/retiring in the next season.

[5ergio]

If I am right, McIllmurray Jr. has constantly 1 year of his contract remaining but he keeps renewing. Good that he stuck with Dortmund, getting a decent return of goals.

[stuart_aberdeen]

Ugh, now hanging onto 4th despite moving to Man Utd and not even doing that bad. Still got good attributes though, would expect there to still be more goals for a few seasons yet.

[18Rabbit]

Hopefully the Mad Scott will renew for another year or two but if he dropped to a lower league he could probably rack up more goals. Here's hoping he stays there till he's 38!

[bergtaur]

What a terrible second half of the season, if it were good I'd say that a shot at 400 was a real possibility, it still may be, but right now the goal is 350.

[MattieCoopz]

Shame that myself and the team had a poor season but I think I'll plug away for a few more years yet.

[Charlesbeams]

Not a lot to mention for September at all.

The 3 free players are still free and no interested teams, so could retire at any moment.

Still waiting for FMRTE to work with the new update to change Long Tym Toon Jr. and Bjorgvin Radebe Jr.'s stats.

No transfers for other players and nearly all of them signed new contracts, the odd few didn't.

Matthew Cooper has already missed 6 weeks of football and could miss up to 2 more months, with a torn calf. He is the only injured player.

[letissierandhenryaregreat]

Who is it that Sanchez-Tredwell is tutoring?

[Charlesbeams]

No idea, it never says who the player is unfortunately.

Bjorgvin Radebe Jr. is now a youth coach at West Brom and the 3 free players, are still free. Edmond Doustourian rejected Liverpool.

[Twellman24]

Not sure if Twellman24 is still reading, but his player is still actually around as staff, no club or anything though.

So once FMRTE is working with the new patch, i'll make his stats better and follow him again, IF he wants me to. He could easily retire though.

Holidaying now and hopefully those players leaving on a free find clubs by September. Would be nice to get some more staff too though.

YES! Sounds good! Thanks so much for the effort Charles

[bjoggi33]

Jr. should have hired his dad as an agent and get him a spot in the Inter Milan squad But wow thats a long time out because of injuries!

[Whoopy D]

Wow only 5 more to go, I didn't think Whoopski would get there but hopefully he can this season and then retire and move onto a hopefully more successful career in a non-playing role.

[Charlesbeams]

YES! Sounds good! Thanks so much for the effort Charles

No problem, just hope he doesn't retire before i can get to FMRTE and make him better, still not working with the new patch.

[Charlesbeams]

Holidaying month to month now until the 3 free players are sorted.

Latest news is, still no clubs and Jimmio Bowmanaggio rejected the chance to return to Holland for Vitesse.

[Charlesbeams]

Some more news. Unfortunately before we could get it started, Cristian Sirera retired from football

Jimmio Bowmanaggio rejected both Genoa and Grosetto and now has staff attributes so will retire shortly. Igor Kesina has set his retirement date for July.

Jason McIllmurray and Murt Shepard retired from international football.


I will post Jimmio and Igor's retirement updates soon, as they won't be playing anymore anyway.

[Charlesbeams]

Before the forums went down i was going to post that Igor Kesina is still playing for Croatia, so his retirement update can wait until the actual date. Jimmo Bowmanaggios at some point today.

[Charlesbeams]

Jimmio Bowmanaggio Ready To Retire

Probably could have lasted longer if Juventus actually bothered to give him a chance.

Seasons - Starting, 11/12, 12/13, 13/14, 14/15, 15/16, 16/17, 17/18, 18/19, 19/20, 20/21, 21/22, 22/23, 23/24, 24/25, 25/26, 26/27

Not a bad career really, plenty of cups won and just 2 yellow cards. Shame Juventus spoiled things. Will now have to search for a job.

[Charlesbeams]

We also have the Euro 2028 groups, not that many of our players will feature.

[jimbowmanuk]

Bowmanaggio was probably too proud to play for lesser clubs, he will probably be a good youth coach. Quite strange that Porto didn't register as a favoured club after spending so long there.

[ShyBaldBuddhist]

C'mon Italy, give Finke one last hurrah at the Euro's. Looks quite an easy group and he may get a few goals.

[Biscotti]

A tough group for Croatia, but they've always performed well when Spehar has been on the pitch *hint hint*

[skullage]

Come on England, I should be able to get some goals in that group if I'm called up!

[Charlesbeams]

News for Jimmio Bowmanaggio. He rejected a contract to play for Grosetto, but now he's accepted one, as their Manager.

Grosetto are currently in Serie A and it's Jimmio's job to keep them up.

Edmond Doustourian is wanted by Stuttgart. No staff attributes yet so not planning to retire anytime soon i don't think.

[Swinburn]

Still going at 32, I reckon I've got a little left in the tank. 7 in 12 appearances isn't so bad for someone who's probably not going to get many games. It'll be interesting to see what I do post-playing career.

[jimbowmanuk]

Bowmanaggio should've gone as player/manager that way he could've kept them up himself

[PRDH]

Edmond Doustourian is wanted by Stuttgart. No staff attributes yet so not planning to retire anytime soon i don't think.

That's the spirit. If he can't out score them through skill he can hang around for as long as possible!

[toonbalmy87]

What about long tym toons retirement sheet ?? Or is he still the forgotten man haha

[Charlesbeams]

What about long tym toons retirement sheet ?? Or is he still the forgotten man haha

It's here

[Charlesbeams]

Igor Kesina has joined CSKA Moscow as a Youth Coach, although he still has is playing stats, but isn't able to play for the team :S not sure if he is still available for international though.

[JohnTerry26]

CSKA Moscow as Youth Coach. Sounds good

[Charlesbeams]

Thing is, he is still in the Croatia squad haha, but can't play for CSKA :S

[Charlesbeams]

Going to get on with the February update soon

[mightymariner]

One last championships for me, make it a good one.

[Charlesbeams]

February 2028

Players

Nick Adam - Nick has mainly been playing in the Reserve team this season, unfortunately they aren't playing in a league, so his 25 in 19(3) won't go on his total. He's got 1 goal in 2(2) games for the first team. He is also leaving on a free at the end of the season.

Bakra - Bakra is definitely a late bloomer and is playing well again this season. He's played 26 games for Feyenoord and scored 19 goals. He's just 19 goals away from 350 career goals. Unfortunately no action for Holland though.

Rocky Brittus - Rocky is playing ok for Vitesse still, scoring 13 goals in 26(1) games. He needs 18 goals if he's to reach 250 career goals before he retires. He signed a new 2 year contract too.

Matthew Cooper - It looks like Matthews first team days are over now as he's in the reserves. He has made 3(4) appearances for the first team and scored 3 goals, but it's not looking too good really. He is transfer listed and his contract runs out at the end of the season.

Josh Crane - Josh is playing ok, but he it seems he's more of a rotation player this season. He's played 10(5) games for Inter and scored 7 goals so far. He's made 1 sub appearance for England without a goal too.

Whoopski Deeski - Whoopski has made is over 200 career goals. It seems he's more of a rotation player for Spartak this season, scoring 13 goals in 12(11) games. He's scored 1 in 1 for Bulgaria and will be hoping to get picked for Euro 2028.

Edmond Doustourian - Edmond is still on the lookout for a club after Stuttgart decided they wouldn't offer him a contract. He has scored 1 goal for Armenia however.

Simone Finke - Simone has already passed last seasons total by 2 goals and plenty to go still. He's played 27 this season and scored 14 goals. Unfortunately no games for Italy and it's unlikely he'll feature at Euro 2028.

Ben Goldsmith - Ben is currently in the reserves at Huddersfield, but i think that is down to his fractures ribs, keeping him out of action for up to 7 weeks. He played 10(10) games for Huddersfield before his injury and scored 6 goals.

Alejandro Hernandez - Alejandro isn't doing too badly for a 32 year old, scoring 9 goals in 18(5) games. He is now just 7 goals away from 300 career goals. He signed a new contract in July keeping him at the club until 2029.

Arie Kanarie - Arie hasn't been playing too often this season, but has missed 4 weeks due to an injury. He is currently recovering from a broken cheekbone too and will miss 3 weeks. He's scored 4 goals in 7(10) games this season.

David Le Soire - David is still scoring quite a few for Zurich and has now passed 500 career goals. He's scored 13 so far from 25(2) games played. Unfortunately just 1 sub appearance for France without a goal, meaning he could miss the Euros.

Jason McIllmurray Jr. - Jason is playing fairly well for Dortmund so far, scoring 11 goals in 20(2) games. He scored 2 in 5 for N.Ireland before retiring from International football. He is now over 350 career goals.

Silvio Mella - Silvio signed a new contract with Sporting, keeping him at the club for another year. He's played 25(1) games for them so far this season and scored 10 goals. He needs just 1 goal to reach 300 career goals.

Kwesi Owusu - Kwesi seems to be slowly becoming a rotation player for Chelsea, with 18(7) games played so far and 11 goals scored. He also has 5 in 3(1) for Nigeria. Kwesi has now scored over 350 career goals.

Quique Sanchez-Tredwell - Quique is having a really good season so far for Atlas, scoring 20 goals already from 31 games. He needs 22 more goals to reach the big 500. Atlas won the Opening Stage.

Aleksander Radakovic - Aleksander is playing well for Lazio so far, scoring 15 goals in 23 games played. He still needs 28 goals before he reaches his next milestone. He signed a new contract in Decemeber keeping him with Lazio until 2029.

Mathew Schneider - Mathew is having a good season for Napoli and has already passed last years goals. He's played 22(1) games and scored 15 goals. Mathew has now scored over 400 career goals.

Stuart Shaw - Stuart has let 4th place go, having scored just 9 goals this season from 17(1) games. Just like most other players, he signed a new contract with Man Utd, keeping him there for another year.

Murt Shepard - Another good season so far for Murt Shepard. He's scored 18 goals so far from 24 games. He scored 6 in 5 for Ireland before retiring from International football. He needs just 10 goals for 450 career goals.

Tom Skull - Still going well for Tom, but his chances are getting slimmer each season. He's played 17(6) so far for Valencia, scoring 11 goals. He's scored 4 in 6 for England too. He needs 8 England goals for 100 and is now over 500 career goals.

Mario Spehar - Not going too well for Mario still, but he signed a new contract anyway for another year. He's played 5(11) for Inter and scored 5 goals. He also has 5 goals in 5(1) for Croatia. 15 more goals for 300.

Jordan Swinburn - Not going well for Jordan, who has decided it's time to leave and will do so at the end of the season. He's played just 2(3) for Fiorentina so far and has scored 3 goals.

The Mad Scot - It's like he was still in his 20's, scoring 20 goals already this season from 30(1) games. He's scored 2 in 5 for Scotland too. He is now over 450 career goals, but is still 15 goals behind 5th place.

White Widow - It's not a good season so far for White Widow, scoring just 8 goals in 23 games for Lorient. He is still 25 goals ahead of 2nd place though. He signed a new contract for another year.

Staff

Jimmio Bowmanaggio - Jimmio is finding it tough at Grosseto, currently trying to keep them from being relegated. He is however in the Italian Cup Semi Final and will play Palermo. Is satisfied with life at the moment.

Chopper - Chopper is doing well with Academica and they are currently in 7th place, but they are only 12 point ahead of the relegation zone.

Igor Kesina - Igor is now a Youth Coach for CSKA Moscow, but is hasn't stopped him from scoring 9 goals for his country. He still has his player stats, but can't play for CSKA, hopefully he can play at Euro 2028 though.

Long Tym Toon Jr. - Still with Dinamo Moscow as a Youth Coach and still no FMRTE update to make him better and more likely to be a manager.

Bjorgvin Radebe Jr. - It's the same as above, still a Youth Coach with WBA and no FMRTE to make him more of a manager.

**7 Goals before the game started.

[Charlesbeams]

Hopefully end of season update and Euro 2028 updates tomorrow.

[18Rabbit]

Go Mad Scot! He's still got it!

[skullage]

Not as many games but still banging the goals in and now past 500 I hope I get called up for the Euros to give me a better chance at reaching 100 international goals.

[Whoopy D]

Very pleased to have passed 200 goals, there was a stage when I didn't think I'd ever get there.

Hopefully get picked for the Euro's and Bulgaria can at least get beyond the group stage.

[Charlesbeams]

FMRTE now compatible with the new patch, so i'll get those 3 staff members sorted out later. Going out and will leave it holidaying until i get back.

[ShyBaldBuddhist]

Still going strong by the look of it. 14 goals in 27 games is pretty good going. Disappointed not to get the farewell run at the Euro's with Italy though

[Charlesbeams]

Well it's looking unlikely, but there is always a chance i guess

[Charlesbeams]

One of the Managers has left his club for a Spanish team and Edmond Doustourian has decided it's time to retire, unfortunately not staff attributes

Still holidaying though, no idea when it'll be ready. Hopefully we'll be on page 11 when it's time.

Oh no! Oh well. If his coaching career was anything like his playing one he'd have spent 15 years as first team coach at some average side!

[Charlesbeams]

Yeah, it's just a shame as i tried to make sure they would all decide to be staff afterwards with the editor.

[Tullem]

Hopefully Mella will have bypassed the 300-mark when the next update is out, would need a bad injury or getting dropped from the team to stop that surely.
