Nadessico Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Everton FC, a team with a deep history, unfortunately you need to know your history to remember the good old days. The club has won the old Division One championship 9 times however the last silverware was back in 1995 when Joe Royles men who had only just survived relegation stunned Manchester United to win the F.A Cup. Since then David Moyes has had close calls, getting the side into a brief Champions League trip and visiting Wembley again in 2009 in the defeat to Chelsea. Now Moyes has gone and it's time for a new era at Goodison park. The stadium may be crumbling and the club may have more loans than Mr Wonga but maybe, just maybe, this cloud will have some silverware lining.

Nadessico Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Everton FC - August 2013 Review Results A short amount of matches since pre-season but i'm delighted with our start. 11 goals and 3 clean sheets were great, granted we were expected to win all 3 but i couldn't imagine us shipping 5 past Norwich or even 3 past Villa. Huddlersfield was a good chance for the reserves too and they didn't disapoint. Table Awards Player of the Month Eder Alvarez Balanta - I disagree with the FA. Eder has not only been solid keeping 2 clean sheets, but he scored a hattrick on his debut, what more could you want from a CB Transfers In Tom Ince - £3m - Young ,English and cheap Tom fitted everything wewinger, something we needed badly with Pienaar starting to get on Ezequiel Rescaldani - £2.3m - Young Argentine from Velez, would have been an instant backup to Lukaku but part of keeping him cheap was another year at Velez Eder Alvarez Balanta - £6.5m - Took up most of my budget, but is a young solid CB and already a first team player who will keep Distin fighting for a spot Out Hibbert was just taking up wages i already had 3 players who could play in his position, i was going to hold on to Jelavic but £6.5M was too much to say no.

Nadessico Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 Everton FC - September 2013 Review Results Well it was a nice clean sheet run but soon as we shipped one into against Chelsea, we forgot how to defend. the Arsenal result could have really had another 2 and both us and Chelsea had enough chances in tthe first half, but 2nd it was all hands to our own half. West Ham was a footballing masterclass till the 75th minute when we went to sleep and the Capital One cup is just the Capital One cup. The Man City result was the result of the month as even though it looks close, we dominated again untill we shipped 2 late goals. Still that's 3 of the top 4 out of the way for now. Table Awards Player of the Month Romelu Lukaku - Me and the FA just don't agree, Granted you'd expect a striker to score but Lukaku was the one who got us into those positions in the first place.

Nadessico Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Everton FC - October 2013 Review Results & News Damn international break. after thumping Sunderland 4-1 the 2 week break came and we seemed to forget how to play. 3-1 was flattering for us as it could have been alot worse.Cardiff i decided to experiment with a narrow version of the 4-2-3-1 and a 5-3-1-1 for the future that has some potential. On the News front we had a bit of a staff shakeup, wanting to start stamping my own mark on the team i hired Martin Hunter as my new Assistant and Dave Parnaby as our new head of Youth Development. The bad news on the player front is that Lukaku was injured in training and now faces 2 months on the sidelines, meaning some very difficult decisions for the striker role Table Awards Player of the Month Romelu Lukaku - So far he's scored in all but 2 matches, and has only had 1 bad game. he ran Cardiff amock so he keeps my player of the month, though with his injury that won't be a title he will hold for 3 times in a row.

Nadessico Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Everton FC - November 2013 Review Results & News So the first month without our little star Lukaku and we started off by getting Bill to increase our junior coaching level. It's going to take a bit of work to get us to where we'll be bring in the youth we want. Palace and Hull were two games we were expected to win and we dominated both. 64% possesion gainst Hull and 26 shot at goal against Palace but neither Kone or Vellios could find the net. Kone just looked terrible so i decided i'd go with youth over experience and it eventually paid off as Vellios finally found the next against West Brom and scored the winner of the Merseyside Derby against a very much 2nd best Liverpool side who are struggling even after sacking Rodgers. Table Awards Player of the Month Eder Alvarez Balanta - The kid has been solid at the back with some amazing blocks and last minute tackles, plus he sent Suarez on a bit of a tumble too Next up, the month of hell.

Nadessico Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 Everton FC - December 2013 Review Results & News Bit of a mixed bag of results this month. Some good results against Spurs and United, specially without Lukaku, Fulham was a massive comeback from 3-1 down. Swansea was a must win match to keep them below us, and they have since fallen apart. Stoke though seem to be my bogey team, we didn't look like threatening at all. On news side, we ensured Leighton Baines future with us as he agreed a new £76kpw contract with us until 2017. We're still very much in the title picture though, 6 points off but with a game in hand. Arsenal and now my new main concern, we've not alot of cash to strengthen in the new year but hopefully i'll find a bargin. Table Awards Player of the Month Ross Barkley - Well done that lad, he scored a beautiful goal against United and he's been piling on the assists. We're a team with the most passes in the league at the moment and the lad is certainly contributing to that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Forest result isn't going to help our run ins but the reserves didn't exactly fill me with confidence. No point in doing a seperate transfer note as the only movement was Kone going out on loan just to get him off my wage bill till the end of the season,.

Nadessico Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Everton FC - February 2014 Review Results & News Shock result anyone? First we launch a surprise comeback against a still struggling Man City (Mirallas really is a comeback king) then the kids do the same against Forest in the FA cup. Then the most important match of our season, a loss would gift the title to Chelsea, giving them a 9 point gap. Not only did we win, we dominated them. FA cup i had to play the kids again and unforunatly Reading were just too strong for us. The only downside in the league was the defence against Cardiff which to be honest was woeful, thankfully the attack was faultless. News wise and the big talking point was Barkley and me having a slight falling out, yes he's a future talent but that doesn't mean i can afford to be offering him £70k pw at his age. And Speaking of Contracts..... Table Awards Player of the Month Leighton Baines - This is his first player of the month this season? Must have some cracking rivals, since signing his new contract with us Baines has been solid, deserved player of the month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadessico Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Everton FC - March 2014 Review Results & News The run goes on, even better we remembered what a clean sheet was..... for 4 matches anyway, once again the West Brom result showed that you can't look a 4-0 lead in the mouth, even with 15 minutes to go. The spurs result was a good example of anti-football which actually came close to putting me to sleep. 6 games to go and 2 difficult trips next month, that 4 point lead may not be enough Contracts wise Barkley got a call up and immediately stopped his ridiculous wage wise of 75k once he got capped and has now signed a much more sensible 45k pw contract. The issue now is with Heitinga, who i'd love to keep as a backup but not on the 50k pw he's demanding. Table Awards Youth Intake The Famous Everton Youth Academy. Home to players like Osman, Rodwell, Barkley and Rooney.... Had an off year apparently, not much to look at save Kristian Brooks who may play a part in the future, but i may need a few word with my chairman if we're to live up to my targets Player of the Month Romelu Lukaku - I'm going to miss him when he's gone, his strength, his never give in attitude, his goals.

Nadessico Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 Everton FC - August 2014 Review Results Not the best match to start the season, Away to your arch rivals, still a better result than the fixture last season. The other 2 fixtures weren't high scoring but they showed alot of promise, especially for a certain new number 9. Table Player of the Month Ross Barkley - He may not have played for England during the world cup, but being around the squad seemed to have helped him over the summer. Could be out most important player of the season Transfers In http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/4199/1mf9.png Andreas Cornelius - £9.25m - Our solution to the loss of Lukaku, got relegated with Cardiff but i saw alot of potential in him in the games against us and when i watched him. Manuel Fernandes - Free - Fernandes returns to Goodison at last, after his loans in 2006 and 2007 and his countless almost returns. Andre Schurrle - Loan (Chelsea) - Loan signing from Chelsea as cover for Barkley and the LW, didn't get a game for Chelsea surprisingly Kevin De Bruyne - £6m - With Pienaar leaving i needed someone to replace him and cover/replace Tom Ince. Kevin was available for a bargin price and fit the bill. For the future Colin Armstrong - 3m - Future England star from Dundee. Actually played 3 games for them last season despite joining them in March Ben Hope - £2.5m - The 2nd of my young English hopefuls, this time in the CM position Out http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/5849/fzly.png Alot of loans and free transfers with only Pienaar (£350k) and Gueye (1.3m) fetching a price. Alcaraz, Distin and Kone leave the club on frees and Naismith goes off on loan (with option to buy) thus making alot of room for me in the wage department. Other News We managed to get our youth recruitment upgraded again and the draws for the group stages of the Champions League and Capital One cup were made. We face newly promoted Burnley at Goodison Park and as for the Champions League.. well let's just say i don't think we'll be in the pot for the next round.

Capital One Cup was again a youth runout, of which i thought we played rather well, just not well enough in the end.

Nadessico Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 It's Mega update time! Everton FC - October/November 2014 Review Looky who i found lurking without a team Results And it all started so well......After stealing a win against Barca we had a further 4 difficult matches to play, and no striker that seemed to be able to find the net. It almost felt like the team only wanted to focus on the Champions League. Added to that injuries to Mirallas and Coleman left me without many options down the right. Before we knew it the league leaders were 9 points off the pace in 8th November started off the same way October ended, even though i gave Joel a rare start the young keeper couldn't do much about the goals, especially Remys goal of the month winner. Then came the home match to Inter where my strikers remembered how to score, the result also left us in a good position for the Champions League. 3 Games against the bottom 3 clubs helped us get back on track, and moved us up to 6th again with an unlikely hero appearing..... Table Octobers Table Novembers Table Uefa Champions League So we managed to qualify for the 2nd round thanks mainly to the lucky win against Barca and our victorys over Inter, the league could have looked alot different on day 5. We came up against Ajax in a match we needed to win with no striker availabe. All we had was Schurrle who had barely been making it onto the teamsheet. However he became a hero scoring twice to help us beat Ajax and confirm our next round entry. It could have been alot different had Barca not stolen a win against Inter deep into injury time but all we need do now is not lose by 2 goals to finish top against our last opponent. Barcelona at the Nou Camp Awards The kids are alright Player of the Month Phil Jagielka - Captain fantastic we may have lost our games in October but if not for Phil's last minute tackles and blocks, it would have been by more than the odd goal. Andre Schurrle - One month from me considering cancelling his loan the kid shows exactly why he's a Chelsea player. Home to Ajax with no strikers in my team he scores 2 wonderful goals followed by another 2 against Wigan. The kid has given himself a stay of execution and may well be forcing Kevin Mirallas and Tom Ince out of the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great deal to get De Bruyne as well - he'll turn out very well for you. he's great as a target man on Support, if he's not scoring he sets players up, i normually get Jordan Rhodes but he just doesn't match up to Cornelius.

Nadessico Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Everton FC - December 2014 Review Results & News We've managed to find a bit of form again, only 2 defeats in 7, but those defeats hurt alot. With Cornelius injured for 3 weeks we only had Rescaldani as our remaining fit striker. And he'd only scored 1 goal all season and that was 3 games ago. Thankfully he seems to have found his scoring touch atlast scoring 4 in he 4 games he played. With Balanta injured i was struggling at the CB spot, specially when i've only 4 players who can play CB and a fair few matches involved all 4 playing at once, with me adopting a 3 at the back and Stones having to cover Coleman in the RWB slot, But Duffy had stepped up rather well and is doing a great job filling in. The only loss unfortuantly was to league leaders United and with us now 10 points behind them, i've basicly given up on retaining the title. It's all down to the battle for 2nd. Table Champions League We only needed to not lose by more than 1 goal, and we lost by 2. We didn't seem to care at the end of the day though it could have been worse, while we did get drawn against FC Bayern for the next round, Barca got A.C Milan so either match would have been difficult. Player of the Month Shane Duffy - As mentioned with Balanta out Duffy had to step up, and he's done a good job, rotating between him, Jagielka and Heitenga.

Nadessico Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Everton FC - January 2015 Review Results & News It's been a happier new year with us going undefeated in the Prem and putting ourselves back into the runner up position, apparently threatening to move players on gets the best out of them, this time it was Tom Ince who's remembered how to score again. Our neighbours across the park got their usual Goodison pasting again and Rescaldani is finding the net more and more. Funny that the young player of the month only scored 1 goal for the whole of it, but he has been getting a fair few assists. Injury wise, Duffy, Balanta and Barkley are back but Coleman is out for 3-4 months forcing me into making a transfer i didn't want to make. Table Awards Transfers Allan Nyom - Loan - Emergency last minute loan for the injured Coleman, doesn't look to bad a player though, Player of the Month Tom Ince - Has been smashing them in lately unlike his partner on the other side of the field who's actual job is to do it.

Next up is a big match at home to Newcastle that could decide who finishes 2nd in the league.

We're 13 points ahead of Arsenal now meaning 3 more wins in 7 games and we've hit our target of Champions League football again, though really my only concern is 2nd now. We won the cruch game with Newcastle and even though we lost again Bayern in the 2nd leg we won 2-1 on agg meaning we're into the Quater Finals against........ Chelsea . Somehow i think the man who got us there in the first place will be the guy who knocks us out.

A good good draw against United though it was a match that saw them crowned as Champions, but a loss to A.C Milan put our Champions League dreams in danger, however a brilliant comeback at Goodison saw us reach our first ever Champions League final and a chance of payback against league champions Manchester United.

Nadessico Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Everton FC - Season Preview 2015/16 Board Expectation Barclays Premier League: Challenge for the Title Uefa Champions League: Reach first knockout stage The FA Cup: Reach the Semi Finals Captial One Cup: Youth training Finances Transfer Budget: £42 Million Wage Budget: £1.047 Million (Currently £963k) Balance: £21,171,402 Club Debt: £24.16 Million Pre-Season Season Preview Youth Update Callum Sheppard - MR - Season 1 - Not really progressing too much but he's still only 16 and could still make a good rotation player. Colin Armstong - AMR/L ST - Season 1 (from Dundee) - Looking promising but isn't going to get near the squad as an striker as i play with a target man so he's being retrained to an Inside Forward Ben Hope - MC - Season 1 (from Leicester) - Excuse the pun but he's the player i have the best "hope" for, could make a few first team appearences this year. George Green - MC/AMC - From the beginning - George isn't really progressing as well as i'd hoped, his physical side costs him the in positions he's good at, may be on his way out sooner than later. Jonjoe Kenny - DR/CD - From the beginning - Progressing well, will get a few chances this season, specially as i try to move Stones into a more central position. Ryan Ledson - MC/DM - From the beginning - Ledson is the next in line to replace the ageing Barry, did well in the few cameo's from last season and is expected to push on now. Transfers So a few big names out the door, all of them after fallings out over wage hikes or transfers and sulking when not getting them, the biggest loss being Balanta who Monaco upset when i refused a 20mil offer and in returned destroyed our relationship, in the end i accepted 40 mil was enough for him, but he will be missed. New Signings Gabriel Iancu - Wolfsburg (£5 Million) - AML/C/ST - Singed as a replacement for Mirallas, still young and shows alot of promise though he was 2nd choice after failing to sign Wellington Nem James Ward Prowse - Southampton (£13.75 Million) - MC/AMC - Fernandes replacement, a future England star and 9 years younger and only 2 million more, it was hard to say no. Steven Caulker - Cardiff (£10.25 Million) - I tried to get him as a replacement for Distin last year but failed, this time we got our man, originally a replacement for Jagielka, he now end up filling the void of Balanta Jack Butland - Stoke (£13.5 Million) - GK - Howard is getting on, and Joel just isn't good enough so why not sign a new goalkeeper, and English one at that, what's the worse that could happen? Jake Butcher - Crystal Palace (£3.7 Million) - MC - Because my Head of youth development decided we don't have enough young English midfielders (that's number 5 if you're not counting) And so with all that, here is the team that will try to defend the Champions League and win the title Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadessico Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Everton FC - August 2015 Review Results Our struggle against United in the league continues, but this time it was a little closer than usual. Massive win over Forest with Cornelius starting us off with intent, we controlled the villa match even if the result doesn't show it, and another trophy for the cabinet as we crushed Southampton for the Super Cup Table Transfers Gustavo Henrigue - £6.25m (santos) - DC - with my plans to replace cover Jagielka in the long run ruined by Balanta's transfer in comes young Brazillian Henrique, that should make a solid back 4 for years to come. Ben Davis - £10m (Swansea) - LB - speaking of solid back 4, Baines long term replacement has been found, with Luke Shaw far too expensive i went with Swanseas young LB Davis as Oviedo isn't going to be good enough for the 1st choice, he'll spend another season on loan at Swansea to keep learning his trade. Awards Other News Only 100 games? it already feels like a lifetime at Goodison park, well here's to the next 100. Champions League victory helps so much, instead of the 4th seed we should have been, we are top seed and apart from the money bags PSG it should be an easy group to get out of.

fawcett17 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hi Chris, great work love the effort put into this. Could you possibly tell me the tactic you used for this? If its downloadable that would be great, if not just some pointers would be great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley6 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Wow, what a start to your Everton career! Are you gonna stick around or move around to other clubs? Glad to see I'm not the only one to struggle against Chelsea and Stoke. No matter what form I'm in, I come up against them and everything goes wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its downloadable that would be great, if not just some pointers would be great. most of what i've learnt i got from http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/366111-How-to-Play-FM14-A-Twelve-Step-Guide by wwfan, it's a great learning article, specially seeing i couldn't win anything in FM without a downloaded tactic till i reached FM13 and started to read guides. It really does feel so much better when you do it yourself instead of just taking someone elses work. (sept Setup wise i use the formation a few post ups 95% of the time, sept with 1 winger being and IF on attack and one being a winger on support depending on who's playing. As for shouts. This is my base setup, however that changes depending on if i'm using attacking instead of control, i'll knock the tempo up, if i'm playing counter or posession i'll drop back, go even lower on the tempo and hold position, i tend to play the Martinez way of holding the ball and finding a way into the box rather just shoot on sight, hence why alot of my scorelines i'll have a lot less shots on target even when i win big. The main bit of advice i can give is if you have the time, don't play on key or extended. alot of the result i've achived are from being able to watch the games and change the team to counter the weaknesses of the opponent rather that just choose one tactic and hope for the best. Hope that helps you out, if there's anything else though feel free to ask, i'm not tactical master but i'm happy to help whenever possible. Wow, what a start to your Everton career! Are you gonna stick around or move around to other clubs? Glad to see I'm not the only one to struggle against Chelsea and Stoke. No matter what form I'm in, I come up against them and everything goes wrong Tough one, really i'd like to stay atleast until we get a new stadium which could take a while but i have decided if i do get sackedor leave i'll continue with the same manager and just start a new story/continuation. the only thing that i can seem making me want to leave is if a tycoon takes over (give or take a season or 2 to try get a stadia built and leave the club in good condition). I really can't stand being in a club where you can just buy your way to success, i have never gotten past a month in a save involving sides like City, Arsenal, Barca just because it seems too easy/boring at times, the only exception being a tycoon side that is a small club/lower league, i'd love to take a side from league 1-2 to the prem but i do struggle with the finacial side of lower league i should have an update tomorrow if i can pull myself away from Dayz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need desperate help with the Shouts cause i don't know how to change them to adapt in the game. And what do you run normally, counter, control or attacking and does that change against big/small team? I didn't understand the bit about counter and Roberto Martinez because he doesn't play counter football? if you could give me like a list of techniques to use; like which shouts to use with (Attacking, counter and control etc) and when to use them. Thanks a lot. Matt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot. Matt i'll try give you a basic idea of what i use Control = Work ball into box, play out of defence, exploit the flanks, lower tempo Counter = More direct passing, pass into space, hit early crosses, exploint the flanks, play narrower, drop deeper, hassle opponets, get stuck in, higher tempo Attacking = pass into space, shorter passing (if in the dry) work ball into the box, exploit the flanks, push up higher, use offside trap, higher tempo, be more expressive any other options just depend on the sides i play against and how i think it will benefit the team, most matches i play the control option unless i'm at home against a similar/smaller side or away to smaller sides where i'll use attack. Very enjoyable thread, as I have myself thought of starting with Everton! cheers rgade, if you do let us know how it goes in the Everton team guide thread Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadessico Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Everton FC - September 2015 Review Results Well it started well enough, big win over P.S.G in the champions league and 2 good results against Birmingham and Sunderland, but then the wheels fell off, kids were unlucky to lose to a strong Arsenal side but the rest didn't help us against Spurs at all. Table Uefa Champions League Well somehow we top the group, though we could easily have lost to Olympiakos, we're going to need a result against St Gallen and the return match if we hope to not screw up topping the group agian. Player of the Month Gustavo Henrique - Someones fitting right in with the side, some good results and a couple of goals too gives him the edge over Baines for player of the month.

Nadessico Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Everton FC - October 2015 Review Results Augh, we just can't seem to get any kind of form at the moment, needless to say i lost my rag at the Southampton match, and walked off after the Stoke match (GOD DAMN BOGIE TEAM!), Europe provided a reprive and we remembered how to win against West Ham before lucking out against Reading again, i may be looking for a new job sooner than i thought. Table Player of the Month Gabriel Iancu -The kid is starting to grow, and would proubally be in the first team if i didn't have to rotate Barkley, Ince and De Bryne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadessico Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Everton FC - November 2015 Review Results We found some form \o/ bout time too, we were down in 9th 10 points behind the leaders at one point, still suffered a 3-0 drubbing against Chelsea on the way though, but we did have complete control over City despite the silly goal they scored, West Brom saw the team controlling the game like they hadn't been able to do since our title winning season, more of that please Table Uefa Champions League We're out of the group stages again, and with our last match against Olympiakos at Goodison, hopefully this time we will hold onto the top spot. Player of the Month John Stones -He plays on the right, he plays in the centre, he play on the lef....ok not on the left, but if he needed to i'm sure he could play there too, utility player extraordinaire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
