mattya456 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Started my first Chelsea file on the new fm! (as a chelsea fan) Currently in season 2, had a bit of a dodgy firts season! came 5th in the league level on points with 4th 3rd and 2nd!! (shocking) but won league cup and fa cup! semi of chmps league! Started 2nd season much better, my best lineup is; Cech Vrsaljko Terry Luiz Cole Mikel Lampard Willian Canales Mata Torres looking towards youth heavily, BTW has any1 out there ever started to make a profit with chelski? dont see anyway this is possible!! unless maybe a 80,000 stadium is built! wont hold my breath as iv never had a new one on any FM!!!

tomtuck01 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 He can indeed be sold mate, ive sold him to both PSG and Sevilla for 8m on a couple of trial games before i start another Chels save and gut the team! Cheers. Try not to let a lack of smilies fool you into believing something is automaticaly intended with a negative tone. Read it again, but assume a positive tone Fair enough. And the lack of smilies doesn't mean anything to me, I seldom use them myself. ------------- Anyway, time to start dismantling this Chelsea side!

Galvanize Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Season Two Review Fixtures Again, I am very pleased with how we handled ourselves this season but unfortunately lost a couple of games so the elusive unbeatable season gets away again. We had two major points in the season where we were playing four games in ten to twelve days - December, which is predictable and May, where we played Man Utd twice in the league. Ended up playing Arsenal six times over the season: twice in the league, twice in the FA Cup (5th Round and Replay), in the League Cup Final and also in the CL Final. Out of those six games, we won three and drew three. Came home with every trophy winnable like last season, but this time we had the Club World Championship added to the list. Transfers In: Edinson Cavani - £29m Jerome Besse - Free Enzo Quistin - £1.5m Bahri Cirak - £170k Zema Berry - £2.1m Valentin Perret - £2.2m Scott Kane - £2.1m Angel Di Maria - £12m Nicolas Lodeiro - Free Jean-Louis Teyssier - £2.2m Carlos Fierro - £1.3m [January] Xaropinho - £1.7m [January] Piotr Wieckowski - £1.7m [January] Mauro Dissenga - £2.4m [January] Alvaro Dominguez - £13.25m TOTAL: £72m Out: Jacob Mellis - £1.3m Marko Mitrovic - Free Nicolas Anelka - Free Rhys Taylor - Free Kaby - Free Sam Walker - Free Jose Boswinga - Free Didier Drogba - Free Luis Guilherme - Loan Nika Kvekveskiri - Loan Romario - Loan Matej Delac - Loan Lucas Piazon - Loan Tomas Kalas - £1.4m Michael Essien - Loan Jamal Blackman - Loan John Swift - £50k Amin Affane - £95k Oriol Romeu - £3.9m Milan Lalkovic - £2.1m Patrick van Aanholt - £1.2m Yossi Benayoun - £1.6m Erick Torres - Loan Carlos Fierro - Loan Adam Campbell - Loan Ross Turnbull - Free 25 other players - Free TOTAL: £19.5M Similar to last season, I brought in a lot of youth and got rid a lot of players that did not have any potential, those who were on very high wages for the squad role they would have for this season or those who wanted to move. However, I brought in Cavani to fill up the Drogba space along with Di Maria to challenge Mata on the left wing a little more. Berry and Kane are two English youth prospects nicked from West Ham, and both have 4.5 star potentials. Perret is the other 4.5 star potential player. He already has talent, as he showed in the Club World Championship game where he bagged a hattrick. Best Eleven: (4-2-4 formation) Cech Vrsaljko - Dominguez - Terry - Cole Valencia - Ramires - Badelj - Di Maria Cavani - Lukaku This is my own person best eleven, it's not based on any figures or facts that have happened over the season. Lukaku shone this season when given the chance, and he was given a lot of chances. Torres was injured for the most part of the season and only ended up playing 20 (1) games, which he returned with 13 goals. Cavani was obviously our top scorer with 54 goals in 60 (2) games, and Lukaku finished with 24 goals in 34 (12) games. That leads me onto the potential problem of whether I should sell Torres on before his attributes start to decrease or keep him, giving Lukaku and Kadlec less game time. Facts and Figures: Top Goalscorer: Edinson Cavani - 54 in 60 (2). Most Assists: Antonio Valencia - 22 in 42 (18). MoMs: Edinson Cavani - 12 in 60 (2). Best Av. Rating: Edinson Cavani - 7.61 in 60 (2). For the second season running, we've dominated all competitions. However, the Prem ended up going to the last game, mainly because of Man Utd's high morale throughout the season and we didn't play them at all until the two games in the last six games of the season. Maybe if we'd played them in December, where they lost previously, we could've hitched their morale and other teams could have had a better chance to get a result out of them. Cavani obviously shone, along with new signing Di Maria, but the rest of the squad did what had to be done. Only six players didn't score, and only two didn't assist. They were Cech (predictable) and Mikel (shocked, are we?). Maybe it's time to sell Mikel. Our discipline has took a bit of a hit too, with five players receiving red cards along with four players getting ten yellow cards or more over the season. I don't think our tackling is too hard, I think it's just silly challenges that could be avoided. Not much I can do about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering you're beginning the 3rd season, i think you have changed the team far more than what is required, Torres should be playing over lukaku 100%, I've seen torres develop into an absolute world beater with 19 finishing etc. As to why you purchased Valencia, I literally have no clue and also di maria, mata is twice the player of either of them, Personally i think you should have acquired Leandro and put him on a right inside forward training schedule. Also Everytime that badelj has been bought for me he has been atrocious, Modric, Ilicic or even jovetic would have been a far greater choice.

I'm wanting to develop the younger players of the squad so they're also ready to step up to the plate when the likes of Lampard, Terry, Torres, Cech etc. either decrease in their attributes or retire/contracts expire. I bought Valencia for £5.25m last season, and he contributed with the most assists in our team. His value has doubled in a season, and there is no alternative RW's to play or buy for a decent price. I bought Di Maria for a fairly cheap price in comparison to what he was valued at, and he contributes much better at LW in comparison to Mata. Granted, Mata got a higher average rating than Di Maria over the season in less appearances but he isn't "twice the player of either of them". Leandro would have been too costly for the budget I had set myself, and Valencia was transfer listed as I said above. Badelj is now my first team playmaker over the likes of Mikel and Lampard. As I play a 4-2-4, my two CM's have to be good going forward and defensively. They both are. Your recommendations of Modric, Ilicic and Jovetic would not fit into the formation as they are not as defensively capable compared to Badelj, but would also be very high in price.

Leandro has a release clause of around 9.25m at the beginning of the game, given he hasnt been snapped up, Valencia's physicals stats are brilliant theres no doubting that, however I cant help but disagree, he is half the player that you should be purchasing for a team like chelsea. A suggestion to replace him could be Andre Ayew granted you need to train him as right wing, for me the guy is incredible. As for your defensive minded midfielders i believe one is suitable(Ramires Box To Box Midfielder) working in tandem with an advanced playmaker, with the players i had previously suggested. As for Juan Mata, the guy needs to be set as an Inside forward(support), So far in 19 appearances he has contributed 7 goals and 12 assists for me. However, you have been doing a great job which cant be faulted, I was merely putting forth a suggestion to help you attain this unbeaten streak Ill post my team within the next 5 minutes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexCRONALDO Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Halfway though the first season, my team are sitting 4th in the league, Man utd, Arsenal and City(1st-3rd respectively) are very close together. However Man Utd are shooting ahead and could be 9 points clear within the next game. My team Demolishes all the standard teams within the league but once being confronted by the leaders, we seem to be giving away last minute goals which is really ruining the chances of winning the league.

Valencia was first team for Man Utd, how can he be half the player that I should be buying for Chelsea? That would leave me only being able to buy someone like Neymar or Messi, which i'm not willing to do. I'm not keen on buying a player who I then have to retrain to the position, wastes far too much time retraining them along with them putting in mediocre performances for a while. I tried with one defensive player (Ramires - Ball Winning) and an Advanced Playmaker, but it left too much of a gap in the middle so i've resorted to two defensive CM's that can also attack. I appreciate your suggestions, but everyone's save will be different and i've found that the players I have signed have done the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexCRONALDO Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Which Leandro are you on about? The Brazilian striker that plays for Internacional? He was valued at £16m plus he's a striker, with no ability in any other position. Valencia was first team for Man Utd, how can he be half the player that I should be buying for Chelsea? That would leave me only being able to buy someone like Neymar or Messi, which i'm not willing to do.

Leandro from Gremio, 18 years old at the beginning of the game. Touted as the next Ronaldo (Brazillian no.9). Ayew learnt how to play right wing from scratch for me within one month, given that i played him there every game, but he still asisted well for me, he has played 30 games and assisted 20 and scored 12( Set as Winger) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bracken Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Rather than giving you a roundup of both April and May, I'll just give you my end of season roundup, so here it is: Season 3: 2013/14 Premier League We ended the season with 32 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, 124 goals scored and 24 conceded, meaning we beat Man City to the title by 6 points. My favourite part of the season however is that we ended with both 100 points and a +100 goal difference haha. The league table made very interesting reading, we conceded the exact same number of goals as Man City, but scored 25 more, and that was the difference. They too had 2 losses, but our superior firepower meant we managed to turn the 3 draws that cost them the title into 3 wins. So a good league season, not quite as good as our last two but that was to be expected as I've been playing some very young players and changing the team to a mroe attacking style. Champions League We went out in the first knockout round to Bayern Munich, which was very disappointing but means I'll be very determined to get it back next time. FA Cup Lost the final to Man Utd 2-1 It was a very young team all the way through and the did very well, but in the end we just couldn't do it. It didn't help that some of the youngsters I'd been playing we away on U21 international duty which was bizzarre, meaning the team was a mix of the youngsters and a couple of senior players, a team that hadn't played all together before, and they showed it. It's a shame, but we'll come back. Conclusions It was an ok season, but pretty much what I expected. I'd dumped a lot of experience the year before and the youngsters are still gelling. It'll be the same next season as I phase in even more youngsters, including some regens, but I'm prepared to deal with it. My job is still untouchable, which is great as I only won one real trophy this year (I don't count the World Club Cup or Community Shield), and I got the same message as Intercept that they were pleased with the attractive football (I nearly posted it but you beat me to it haha). Anyway, here's how my first 11 lined up this season: Cech Vrsaljko - Luiz - Terry - Alex Sandro Asamoah - Lampard/McEachran Sturridge - Mata - Muniain Torres/Lukaku The team worked exceptionally well together as an attacking unit, with Lukaku and Torres brining great competition for that striker position. My top scorers were: Torres - 40 goals in 39 games Lukaku - 32 goals in 20(16) games Muniain - 24 goals in 45 games Sturridge - 19 goals in 39 games Kakuta - 16 goals in 18(13) games Finally, here's a few screenshots of how some players have developed, starting with Chalobah and McEachran as people have requested those lately: Chalobah McEachran Lukaku Muniain Delighted with the developments of those players, ignore the availability stuff as it's close season, I'll post Kakuta and a couple of regens in another post as I can't fit more in this one!

Transfers : http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/2280/chelseatransfershistory.png as you can see only one buy at the moment and that was for the right wing position which i felt we needed most as we have no natural player in that position.

Bracken Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Bracken, what philosophy and strategy do you use in your tactic? Your team seems to score loads en concede hardly any, makes me interested in your team instructions;) I line up with a 4-2-3-1 formation, the general instructions are to play fluid, more expressive, with shorter passing and floated crosses, the rest of the instructions are on default. The individual instructions are all tweaked, so I guess the general instructions aren't that useful, I'll give you the individual instructions in a bit as soon as I've made my changes. However, while I'm pleased with it, I'm going to try and make it even more attacking and cavalier. I'm trying to build a team that can play a system that's a kind of hybrid between modern Barcelona and 1999 Man Utd, able to do short sharp passes to move the opposition around and create space, but also able to spring a pacey direct counter attack exploiting the wings. It's a challenge, and I'll be making some changes this summer to move us closer and I'll update you on it when it's done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protocol Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Anyone been able to sign first team coaches with Chelsea? Got rid of Rocha as his stats are awful and board says I can have a maximum of 5 first team coaches. However no matter who I attempt to sign, the board just cancels the deal as "they feel we don't need any more coaches" :confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intercept Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Protocol Check how many coaches (all coaches from Fitness to Youth) you have in total. It doesn't matter if they say you can have 5 First Team coaches if there is no space because you have 20 youth coaches. About the only advice I can give you really, never happened to me. Also a quick question to the members of the thread. For my AMR and AML positions I have Silva, Mata, Weiss and Sturridge all rotating (with Kakuta out on loan due to come back and resume deputy duties once I've off-loaded someone). My first choice are Mata and Silva for their obvious creative ability but I've just gotten a message from Porto offering me Hulk for £20.5m. I don't deny he is an absolute monster of a player but is he really worth it given the competition for players I already have? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryles Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 How are you guys playing lukaku? I can't seem to get him to play well. I play one up front with 3 behind him. Should I play someone with him? Or play him as a target man/change my team playing style? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't deny he is an absolute monster of a player but is he really worth it given the competition for players I already have? I have hulk and I play his as AML, In my first season he got 18 goals and 11 assists in 43 appearances from the left and so far in my second season he has 6 goals and 4 assists in 10 appearances. How well does Silva play for you because I have Navas who plays down the right for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intercept Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 lacoste8030 Silva has just played his 30th league game (back end of the 2nd season and beginning of the 3rd) from AMR and has scored 11 goals and assisted 21. Really nice contribution and there have been so many games where he has just cut defence's open leaving Torres the simplest of targets to hit. Mata from AML in the last 30 games has managed 15 goals and 20 assists, so they both contribute in abundance for me offensively which is one of the main reasons why I'm not sure it's worth the hassle of buying Hulk given the first choice options I have already.

The only problem I do have is with Daniel Sturridge who I have as a back-up to Navas, Sturridge is just too selfish and does not distribute the ball good which annoys me so am thinking of getting rid of him but I do not know who to replace him with. do you have any ideas?

Bracken Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Right, a fair few changes for my squad this year, he's a little round up Start of Season 2014/15 Transfers In: Lots of regens, including one for £9m at LB Total: £27.5m Out Nathan Ake - £1.5m Adam Campbell - £1.3m Lucas Andersen - £8m Matej Delac - £5m Ross Barkley - £13.5m Ashley Cole - £500k Emre Can - £1.3m Ulises Davila - £3.8m Oriol Romeu - £4m Tomas Kalas - £4m Carlos Fierro - £7m Lucas Piazon - Free Connor Clifford - £1m Sime Vrsaljko - £18.5m Lots of loans with fees and a couple of unwanted regens Total: £75m Quite pleased with the transfers, brought in a lot of cash and get rid of some deadwood and some youngsters I didn't have a place for. I wasn't planning on letting go of Barkley, but Real Madrid came in with a good offer and he's never performed hugely well for me, so I wasn't too upset. The same really goes with Vrsaljko, had no plans to sell but he's never been fantastic and Bayern kept coming back with bids so in the end I negotiated for what I felt was a good amount. Team Lineup GK: Petr Cech, Thibaut Courtois, Anuar Nava (regen) DR - Full back (Automatic): Chris Basham (regen), Lars Ibrahimovic (regen) DCR - Centre Back (Cover): David Luiz, Nathanial Chalobah DCL - Ball Playing Centre Back (Stopper): John Terry, Anthony Reed DL - Full Back (Automatic): Alex Sandro, Julio Heredia (regen) MCR - Ball Winning Midfielder (Defend): Kwadwo Asamoah, Jeremy Lepetre (regen) MCL - Deep Lying Playmaker (Support): Josh McEachran, Frank Lampard, Mateo Kovacic AMR - Inside Forward (Attack): Daniel Sturridge, Gael Kakuta AMC - Trequartista (Attack): Juan Mata, Mateo Kovacic, Correntin Le Guerroue (regen) AML - Inside Forward (Attack): Iker Muniain, Mbaye Niang, Eddie Hillier (regen) ST - Advanced Forward (Attack): Fernando Torres, Romelu Lukaku, Mbaye Niang We now play a very fluid formation, with a fair amount of roaming and lots of creative freedom. There's also lots of rotation going on, especially at centre back, Reed and Chalobah will play most home games, JT and Luiz the away games and bigger home games, and up front, Torres big games and away games, Lukaku home games and cup games. It'll be tough to keep everyone happy with this extensive rotation policy, but it should be fun. Pre-season went very well, we won all the games without conceding which was surprising. Here's how we've done in August August 2014 Community Shield Chelsea 1 - 0 Man Utd Kwadwo Asamoah 62' Vrsaljko sent off 38 Tough game to start, we didn't really click either. Vrsaljko's last act before he left was to get this red card. Premier League Chelsea 5 - 0 Stoke Torres 19', 26, 45+1' Lukaku 80' Muniain 82' A good win to start the season, played a pretty much first team just to get the ball rolling Newcastle 2 - 3 Chelsea Vossen 12' Torres 28', 61' Muniain 49' Kelly 69' Very tough away win, these two goals conceded really an example of how the team's going to go this season until they're used to the new tactics, but we still did very well up front. Chelsea 4 - 1 West Ham Spas Delev 3' Lukaku 11', 22', 49' Lampard 54' Great performance from Lukaku, and Frank showing he still has a role to play. Conclusion A good start to the season with three wins and some lovely fluid football. I've also picked up the England U21's job, as they rejected me in favour of Stuart bloody Pearce for the top job, but oh well, youth football might be fun for a while.

Abramovic Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Courtois is amazing in this game, he was my first choice since 2013 im in 2015 by the way and he single handedly was responsible for winning champions league 2 seasons in a row. I think barca and real were getting something lilly like 6+ clear cut chances against me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I agree Courtois is very good. He is now my first choice in 2016/17 season but was getting a lot of games along side Cech from around 2013. I think I'm going to start a new game with Chelsea. Mainly because now in 2016 I realise I haven't made the best signings squad wise. Lots of players are getting unhappy and I have too many players for certain positions etc.. This save has been successful, however I feel it could have gone better. Nice update Bracken, Muniain looks to have been a great signing for you. Might sign him myself If I start a new save Although I really want Neymar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Well I started a new save, Danny Sturridge has just broken his leg in a pre-season match against Inverness Caledonian Thistle and is out for 5-6 months.
