Summer Update

Israel who were ranked 20th in the World, pulled off an amazing performance at the European Championship 2020 tournament and won in the Final to be crowned champions!

Official World Ranking stats show that Israel have moved from 20th to 2nd after being crowned European Champions!

Lukied Jaziri has gone public to tell everybody that he is currently unhappy at Liverpool. There has been a rift in the dressing room between Lukied and his striking partner Luis Suarez. He feels that it is beyond repair and is currently considering all options available to him.

Gypsum Fantastic has been announced as Wayne Rooney's replacement at Manchester United! It was already speculated in January that they were looking for somebody who could fill Rooney's boots as he gets closer to his retirement age and it appears Gypsum has the quality to do that!

**Tactic Master** · 03-02-2012 22:10

David Ginsberg will be awarded 150 points in the end of season update for his awards and championship medal. Thomas Weir will also be awarded for his Goalscoring during the tournament, gaining 50 points.

**dieu** · 03-02-2012 22:16

Damn it!!! Moridin don't get any breaks at all! Needs to move away from United asap If he wants to move up the table!

**stuart_aberdeen** · 03-02-2012 22:33

Stuart Shaw is so bad. Would need great form for the rest of his career to even get top 12/13ish.

But he will not finish last. That place is obviously reserved for Moridin!

**David Corperial** · 03-02-2012 23:58

Goal of the tourney, 6 goals in all, team of the tourney, and tourney champ. Now that's awesome.

Blimey, that's quite a move for Gypsum!

**Tactic Master** · 04-02-2012 13:13

Mid-Season Update in progress. I've also run it through to the end of the season, which is very interesting and 1 player will be extremely happy

**Tactic Master** · 04-02-2012 13:50

Striking Sensation Update

This update is on the 29th December rather than 1st Feb as there were no developments in January Transfer Window. I have looked at the World Golden Ball candidates and noticed that we finally have a player up for the award, but it's a strange and confusing one, as Ben Goldsmith has been picked. He is almost definate not to win it though as he is the only one in there anywhere near a 7.00 AVMR and hes actually below with a 6.97 or something along those lines... Very strange if you ask me.

I am certainly not complaining!

**Gypsum** · 04-02-2012 15:21

Gypsum's in great form for Man Utd, well worth his £165k a week! Shame they sit 8th in the Prem.

**bjoggi33** · 04-02-2012 15:40

Hey, TM any chance of a screenie of the players that has been assisting the strikers the most at their teams?

Yeah, a dislocated shoulder to be exact. You were on the sidelines for 2 months.

You mean the other players in the teams your in, that are assisting you?

**Tactic Master** · 04-02-2012 19:30

Just a few facts and a bit of information...

Gypsum Fantastic is a club Legend at Celtic.
Gypsum Fantastic's striking partner from Celtic (Aziz Naimi) is on his way to Leverkusen on a free transfer after his contract ran out. Gypsum and Aziz were scoring 60 goals+ per season between them.
Stuart Shaw is an Icon at Birmingham City and has spent his entire career with the club so far.
Hype Animz is a Liverpool Legend, whilst Lukied Jaziri isn't even a favoured personnel.
Bjorgvin Radebe is a Legend at Wigan Athletic, but Long Tym Toon Tiny isn't even a favoured personnel.
Juan Coco Luis Pereira is suprisingly only a favoured personnel at FC Bayern.
Gypsum Fantastic has already become a club favourite at Manchester United, something which Jim Bowman, Jamie Hernandez and Arawn Moridin have failed to do at the club.
Ignjatije Uljarevic makes up the 5th Legend at Ranger's, as it appears you have to have done something special to even be considered.
Edoardo Lorenzo is currently an Icon at Ajax, whilst he could become the first Legend the club has, if he continues to play for them.
David Ginsberg is the past, present and future at Braga, as they have no previous hero/legend, whilst Ginsberg has achieved that feat in the 9 and a half years he's been at the club.
Davatzis has joined Luis Figo and Sime Vrsaljko on the list of Legends at Sporting.
Despite playing for the club for his entire career, Ben Goldsmith is not even seen as a favoured personnel at Southampton.
It is surely only a matter of time untill Aidan Lfc becomes a club favourite at Chelsea.

Yeah, too bad im always injured : /

**David Corperial** · 04-02-2012 21:44

Wait, does that mean I'm a hero or a legend at Braga? Either way though, still cool to be considered the best player they've ever had.

**bergtaur** · 04-02-2012 21:58

Legend at Rangers, I guess I'm gonna be a lifer and time to set sights on Ally's record then.

Depends if a team comes calling like they did with Gypsum Fantastic.

**jamie.** · 05-02-2012 11:41

Maybe getting relegated with blackburn will do my goal count some good!

**Gypsum** · 05-02-2012 14:06

Legend at Celtic and a fan favourite at Man Utd, Gypsum's a popular lad!

62 goals between Gypsum and Jim Bowman, quite a partnership! Looks like Gypsum timed his move to Man Utd well, things couldn't have gone much better.

**ejldude** · 06-02-2012 05:01

Not liking my lack of awards considering the number of MotM I have. But it's balanced by never being carded in my career! Nice.

**Tactic Master** · 06-02-2012 09:11

Just a little teaser to get you guessing! Someone has been sold by their team, which is considered to be one of the best teams in it's league, to a club in France which is considered to be one of the most consistent teams in it's league, with only one other team, either as good or better. The player in question spent 9 and a half years at the club before moving to France. The fee wasn't very big which is a bit of a shock considering the player in question. Just to give you a little hint, throughout his career, he averages at a goal for every two games! He's also made an instant impact in France, scoring on his debue.

Sounds like it could be my striker, interesting times ahead.

Ill also guess the team is Marseille or Lille??

Edit: Scratch Lille, its PSG

**dieu** · 06-02-2012 13:53

Please let it be Bowman! Please, please please! (Since it's obviously not Moridin)

**dieu** · 06-02-2012 13:59

BUt it's not Bowman and Moridin still will not get his break...

**Tactic Master** · 06-02-2012 14:12

Information & Transfer Update

Geraint Alacarde made a shock move away from AC.Milan in the summer transfer window, after a good season where he scored 19 league goals in 28 games! Paris Saint-Germain were the club who lured Alacarde for a small fee of £11.25mil. Alacarde started his career with Port Vale, but was sold in the January Transfer window that season for £400k to AC.Milan! He spent 9 and a 1/2 seasons at Milan scoring 90 goals in 183 league appearances.

Arawn Moridin has put pen to paper for a 4 year contract, earning £39,000 per week. He has so far been satisfied with his bit-part role at United, third in the pecking order, behind Jim Bowman and Gypsum Fantastic!

Speculation about Nick Adam's future at Girondins Bordeaux has been at an all time high recently, with Nick Adam looking for a bigger club to join.

Jim Bowman, Ben Goldsmith and Aidan Lfc are all part of the shortlist for the World Golden Ball. Aidan Lfc seems to have the edge over Bowman and Goldsmith with his top form at Chelsea.

World Cup 2022 is getting closer now and the Groups have been decided. The following countries are being represented by our players... Greece, Australia, Portugal, Scotland, USA, Tunisia and Wales!

Certainly more surprised with this, this time. Anybody know how I am there? I mean, I was god awful at Southampton last year, compared to the years before!

**Tactic Master** · 06-02-2012 18:26

Ill have mid-season report up by end of the night guys. Then hopefully tomorrow I can at least do the end of season report and the world cup report. Just to remind people, italy and england didn't qualify.

Well I think you've picked up some serious points here, I might be wrong, but I think you might have moved away from bottom spot. I'll have the table up tomorrow!

**Babaginoosh** · 07-02-2012 22:11

TM, which team is interested in me and how serious?

**Tactic Master** · 07-02-2012 22:27

It's just Minor Interest from FC Bayern, I would doubt anything will materialise due to your stance at the club.

Yes I agree. Did not say it was a bad season!

Just a bad second half. Had just hoped for more based on the first half of the season. Anyway I am not complaining at all!

Its probably because of jim bowman who had a much better second half to the season, but all 3 of you banged in the goals!

**Tactic Master** · 08-02-2012 13:37

Going to post the World Cup Update before I do the End Of Season table, so that I can add the points gained from the World Cup. I'm also going to post Annual World Rankings and a bit more in-depth on the International stage, because I don't think we focus enough on that. I'm also going to add injury reports to both mid-season and end of season reports, because I know a few of you ask me about it sometime's and it has a major impact on your season at times.

**Tactic Master** · 08-02-2012 14:55

World Cup 2022

Players & Countries...

Davatzis - Greece
Portugal - Juan Coco Luis Pereira
Australia - Nick Adam
USA - Jim Bowman
Scotland - Stuart Shaw, Long Tym Toon Tiny & Thomas Weir
Tunisia - Lukied Jaziri
Wales - Gypsum Fantastic & Hype Animz

Group A

Kenya 2 - 0 Greece
Davatzis came on as a sub at half time and was very disappointing for the second half.
Greece 3 - 0 Qatar (Davatzis)
Davatzis made up for his shocking display against Kenya, coming on as a sub in the 62nd minute and scoring a goal!
Colombia 0 - 3 Greece (Davatzis)
Davatzis started the game today and scored in the 21st minute to help Greece to a comfortable victory, but subbed in the 71st minute. He picked up the Man Of The Match award!

Group C

Paraguay 0 - 0 Portugal
Juan Coco Luis Pereira wasn't at his best today and Portugal were probably on the same level.
Serbia 0 - 0 Portugal
Juan Coco Luis Pereira had another frustrating match and will need to up his game, if Portugal are to cause any threats!

Portugal 2 - 1 Australia (Luis Pereira x2)
Nick adam suffered a major injury "Strained Knee Ligaments" and was stretchered off in the 66th minute, which is the end of his tournament at such an early stage! Luis Pereira stole the show though, with a fantastic brace and left the stadium as man of the match!

Australia 0 - 0 Serbia
With Nick Adam injured and out of the tournament, Australia are looking vulnerable!
Paraguay 1 - 1 Australia
If Nick Adam hadn't been injured, the last two results may have been different, but Australia are eliminated!

Group F

Brazil 1 - 1 USA (Jim Bowman)
Bowman had a decent game today and will be very pleased with a draw against Brazil!
Japan 3 - 1 USA
Jim Bowman didn't play well today and Japan have sealed the fate of USA as Brazil and Japan secure their place in the next round!

USA 2 - 0 Scotland (Jim Bowman)
Jim Bowman was truly on form today against a Scotland side that looks to be fading recently!

Scotland 1 - 2 Japan (Long Tym Toon Tiny)
Scotland were a disgrace today against Japan, with the only Scottish player worth a mention "Long Tym Toon Tiny". He gave Scotland a lifeline, but they didn't take advantage. Thomas weir was a disgrace along with the rest of the team, whilst Stuart Shaw didn't even get off the bench (mistake???).
Scotland 0 - 3 Brazil
Just like the USA, Scotland are now eliminated and questions will have to be raised about the performance of Thomas Weir in this competition!

Group G

Costa Rica 0 - 3 Wales (Fantastic & Animz x2)
Fantastic and Animz were leathel at Euro 2020 and were the same yet again today! Animz picked up the Man Of The Match award, but Fantastic deserves just as much.

Wales 0 - 2 Tunisia
Lukied Jaziri is hitting all the Tunisian headlines recently with his vintage performances and despite not scoring, he turned provider today and helped to down Wales who have a very strong strike-force! Fantastic and Animz both had bad games and will want to forget this one quick!

Tunisia 3 - 4 Croatia (Lukied Jaziri)
Croatia are a good side, so Tunisia who have failed in recent times, can be proud of pushing them all the way! Lukied Jaziri hasn't always been the man on the lips in Tunisia, but was fantastic today.
Costa Rica 1 - 3 Tunisia (Lukied Jaziri x2)
Jaziri has been Tunisia's main man during this tournament and has just fired them into the second round! Huge moment for Tunisia!

2nd Round...

Greece 2 - 1 Saudi Arabia
Davatzis has had a decent tournament so far and turned provider today as Greece move into the Quarter Finals!

Morocco 1 - 2 Portugal
Luis Pereira didn't even make the bench today and their are questions over his current fitness and whether he will feature again. Portugal move forward to the Quarter Finals without him.

Iran 0 - 1 Tunisia
Tunisia dodge one HELL OF A BULLET today, with Iran missing two penalties and Tunisia move to the Quarter Finals! Jaziri had a good game and will be pleased and thankfull of the final result!

Quarter Finals...

Greece 0 - 1 Serbia
Davatzis was just as embarrased as several other of his team mates today with an awfull performance, Greece are knocked out of the tournament!

Kenya 0 - 1 Portugal
Portugal fans will have been pleased to see Luis Pereira back on the pitch after recent speculation, but he didn't really step up today and that could be due to his recent dissapearance from the team. Nevertheless, Portugal are in the Semi-Final!

Brazil 2 - 0 Tunisia
Tunisia have gone out of the tournament, but will go out with pride after a fantastic run! Lukied Jaziri had his worst performance of the tournament, but wont be too dishartened, as he was the main man throughout!

Semi-Finals...

Portugal 1 - 0 Burkina Faso (Luis Pereira)
Luis Pereira is back in goalscoring form as he puts Burkina Faso out of the tournament to reach the Final!!!

World Cup Final

Portugal 2 - 1 Brazil
Juan Coco Luis Pereira will be the happiest man in football today as he holds the World Cup high in the air! He is definately one of the best Strikers in Europe at the moment and holds a Champions League, World Cup medal and his Champions League Golden Boot medal this year! He didn't have the best of times in the tournament, due to major issues with fitness, but only missed one game and was the man who scored to get them to the final.

Awards...

Best Player - Asterios Froussos from Greece took the award, but Juan Coco Luis Pereira followed close by in second place! Unfortunately that doesn't gain him any points.

Dream Team - Juan Coco Luis Pereira was part of the World Cup Dream Team striking partnership, with Japanese starlet Chihiro Moriwaki! This will gain Luis Pereira some very nice points and proves that he is one of the best strikers in the World when it comes to the biggest of stages, following his Dream Team place in the Champions League!

Golden Boot - Unfortunately none of you were part of this award, with Chihiro Moriwaki scoring the most, along with Khalid Fellah and Victor Manuel Torres, all scoring 4 goals each in 4 appearances, but Moriwaki stole the award due to his superior Average Rating!

Goal Of The Tournament - We have Gypsum Fantastic who scored the best goal of the tournament, whilst Luis Pereira scored the third best! Those goals can be viewed below...

Very happy with Tunisia getting to quarter finals, and to add to that some string performances from Jaziri. Hopefully he can take that form back to merseyside and do well at Liverpool.

Yeah, he had a really good tournament. I think the main problem for Jaziri is he doesn't like Liverpool. He's never really been happy at Merseyside and constantly complains, but he never comes close to a transfer away for some reason... I think a move away would be perfect for him.

The Goal Of Tournament goals are now up on the World Cup Update! They are both real top quality goals.

I'm now onto doing the End Of Season Table

**WhiteRiot** · 08-02-2012 16:09

Brilliant, Juan Coco Luis Pereira is a World Cup winner!

Had such a slow start to my career, but now reaping all the rewards.

Great signup, loving this!

**ejldude** · 08-02-2012 16:17

Seriously I wish real life could be like FM sometimes. No Italy or England and Burkina Faso reaching the Semi-Finals?

**Gypsum** · 08-02-2012 16:20

Shame Wales couldn't have done a bit better, but I can't argue with the Goal of the tournament! Nice one-two with Animz!

I'm just working out the points for the table at the moment and as it stands, for this season you've gained a bonus of 335 points! That's on top of any points for the usual "Goals, Assists etc..."

That should put you in a very good position.

If you think thats strange, you should see the World Rankings! It's actually insane! The World Rankings update will follow after the Table update.

**Tactic Master** · 08-02-2012 16:41

I'm going to award Jim Bowman for his performances in the Gold Cup, due to the USA not taking part in the European Championship, unlike most other nations that our players belong to. I think it's only fair as most of you have a chance to gain extra points. The scale of the points will be low for the Gold Cup though and I will be looking at other players, who's Nations are outside the EU and doing the same.

**WhiteRiot** · 09-02-2012 21:43

Interesting how I'm so clinical for Bayern yet not so much for Portugal. Must be playing with some worldy players at Bayern who just lay on all the goals for me.

**Babaginoosh** · 09-02-2012 21:49

Its so frustrating to see that the only thing stopping my striker from reaching his full potential are injuries. He is always down at least 2 to 3 months every season with the exception of like 2.

This really sucks

**toonbalmy87** · 09-02-2012 21:57

Still can't get away from Wigan arhhh

**Tactic Master** · 09-02-2012 22:04

I feel sorry for Makoto Nakamura who's season has already ended!

**dieu** · 09-02-2012 22:42

Moridin has been out with injury for three months and 1 week and still has manged 9 goals and 1 assist in 9(+8) games. Thats pretty damn good!

All 3 of you have been hit with major injuries and it's affecting Man Utd.

**nicka94** · 10-02-2012 10:25

Nick Adam - Strained Knee Ligaments (6 Weeks), A Torn Hamstring (3 Months) & A Damaged Spine (2 Months)

Did he get run over by a bus or something?

**bjoggi33** · 10-02-2012 13:02

Not such a good season for Radebe

**Goldyrulz** · 10-02-2012 16:02

This is certainly a better season, very few injuries and some more goals.

**Makoto Nakamura** · 10-02-2012 16:33

Not checked this in a while, I've sort-of stagnated and become average now, and have no chance with that massive injury

**Tactic Master** · 10-02-2012 19:19

I'm hopefully going to have some sort of update done for you guys today, but i've been really ill today, so bare with me.

**Tactic Master** · 11-02-2012 15:37

End Of Season Update

The main talking point for this season is definately injuries! Makoto Nakamura damaged cruciate ligaments, whilst Gypsum Fantastic picked up a torn calf muscle late on in the season. Hype Animz has picked up a horror injury against AC Milan in the Europa League Semi-Final, breaking his leg and will be out for up to another 5 months! Speculation was ripe concerning Hype Animz and a potential move away, but all that speculation is now out of the window and he will only hope he can come back from this injury and get back to his best!

Manchester United were the team to watch this season after last season where they won the Premier League. Gypsum Fantastic, Jim Bowman and Arawn Moridin were amazing last season, it just didn't matter which of them made up the 2 upfront. This season was slightly disappointing in regards to those three players, with injuries plaguing all three and the arrival of Juan Jose Orozco who was a suprisingly cheap, but extremely talented player and he was the first striker on the sheet for every game, whilst keeping fit throughout the season.

The other team to watch was FC Bayern, with Luis Pereira who is arguably one of the best strikers around at the moment and his striking partner Ganso, with both destroying the defence of most teams in the league! They won the League, whilst winning the Club World Championship, but were beaten by Paris Saint-Germain in the European Super Cup and didn't perform half aswell in European games. Probably a bit of a mixed season for Luis Pereira.

Liverpool have serious interest in you at the moment, but whether they will go ahead with an offer or not is another matter.

**ejldude** · 11-02-2012 16:43

Hah! I'd rather be miserable in Holland. Hopefully someone else will come in and make an offer for me.

Had to have been the player of that update, still raking in awards.

**Gypsum** · 12-02-2012 12:32

Looks like Gypsum tore his calf muscle at a good time really, should be ready for the start of next season. Not a bad season considering.

Breaking News

Edoardo Lorenzo has finally secured a transfer away from Ajax after season's of speculation! Edoardo is and forever will be a legend at Ajax, but Liverpool will think themselves very lucky to have secured the £20.5mil transfer of one of the biggest talents in World football!

Edoardo's Club History & Stats

Edoardo Lorenzo made a name for himself as a youngster at Cardiff City, spending two full seasons at the club and is well known for his 15 goal haul in his second season. With such a good start to his career, Ajax soon had taken notice and in 2013, decided to splash £8.5mil on Edoardo in the hope that they could turn him into a star.

After securing the move to Ajax, some people would have been disappointed to see him only play 15 league games and scoring only 6 goals, but with the following 9 seasons, all will definately have been forgotten! In recent seasons he has been noticed for his amazing and consistent performances and has been compared to Francesco Totti and Del Pierro. He is the current All-Time Goalscorer for Italy and will be chasing the Appearance record for sure!

All Time League Record

League Appearances: 335
League Goals: 196
League Assists: 67
League Man Of Match's: 66
League Average Rating: 7.57

Last season Edoardo Lorenzo scored 32 goals, 12 assists and 12 Man Of Match's with an average rating of 8.03! Ajax is considered a small club compared to a lot of clubs in Europe, so all the focus will now be on whether Edoardo Lorenzo was at a small club playing a big part, or whether that is not true and he is going to be at a big club and be a big player. If that is the case, it will definately benefit Lukied Jaziri and Hype Animz, because along with Edoardo's ability to score, he is a big creative player and Hype Animz especially will be looking to up his own game through that.

In other news...

Arawn Moridin has signed a new contract, earning £43k per week at United and will be looking to up his game this season through the confidence being shown by the United Manager! Moridin has actually been an un-sung hero at United, in the shadow of Gypsum Fantastic and Jim Bowman. Even though he doesn't start as many games, he's been a consistent performer in the past 2 seasons and helped them win the FA Cup final against Blackburn with a goal.

I know how you feel, but you can't argue with their history and even though they've had a difficult time in recent seasons, I think you might be able to fire them up again. It will also be a chance for you to be noticed alongside the best and maybe get World Player Of Year?

**ejldude** · 12-02-2012 15:15

I hope so. Next sign-up I join though had better have a disliked club option! >=o

Haha! Well i'm already thinking about the next sign-up I will do because the players are now 28 and in another 5 seasons, we could see our first retirement possibly!
