A just as solid month, if not better, with only 2 losses (1 being narrow against Rotherham, which are first), and 1 against Norwich mid-table side in the Premier Division. Our month led to us jumping to 2nd!

A sort of stronger month propels us into the playoffs, but the board are still disappointed in me. We've never finished higher than 6th, yet you're disappointed in me for being around 6th?!

A rough month, getting within 1 point of 2nd at some point, before eventually dropping to 4th. We have one game left in the season. Aston Villa.

 

I might lose my job in the next post.

Aston Villa

image.thumb.png.ee842d0982cf3cf716ed199a5434ccba.png

I couldn't say no to this. 160 million transfer budget?! It will be tough for us to win the league, but with 160 million I hope we will.

My contract after some tough negotiating.

aaand as I found out, the amazing transfer budget was actually down to them selling some of their best defenders. Luckily, I can buy a few to set us up without spending too much.

A solid improvement since I joined, despite the defender issues, we managed to to get 2 draws and 2 wins, with only 1 loss. Not bad!

Annoyed by this, but having only one win and all of a sudden players appearing to go abysmal in morale and concerns about us underachieving (when I took you from 22nd to hovering around mid table and above, after already being on a losing streak and having issues before hand). Probably should note not to take a team during the season.

I don't do this often, but I wanted to show the first draft of a tactic I'll be using with Arsenal

image.thumb.png.0000c1fe2a212f823a6a819d49e82957.png

Where the IWB's shine is effectively acting as 2 midfielders and 2 defenders at the same time, being able to support attacking threats from the middle while drifting back to help defend. At least, that's how I'm seeing it. After that, it's standard 424 affair.

We dropped pretty hard with a hard loss to Leeds which I'm not really sure how that happened just that we didn't get good enough in that match. 

Hopefully next month will be better.

Shame about how it ended with Villa, but good luck with Arsenal mate

I think there may be a bug in FM2020 honestly where if you join a club during the season, the prior manager's faults etc, including performance etc, to a certain extent becomes your fault. I.e. you get a club fairly high up, but not where the board expected you to be - it's not easy to do that. I'm hopeful Arsenal goes well, so thank you!

After losing 4-0 to Man City and then 2-1 in the 3rd Round of the FA Cup to Crystal bloody Palace, we drew nil nil, and then went on to win three matches in a row, both of which were against teams higher than us. We didn't concede either. Wow.

We stay in 4th, gaining a extra point in the lead between 5th and 4th. Additionally, we've had a slight tactical change.

 

New Tactic (pretty much the same)

It's been pretty effective recently, resulting in wins like the 5-0 over Bournemouth.

Two of our players are now top-scorers in the league. We're still in 4th, which isn't likely to change. Unbeaten month, though. Also, broadened the gap between 4th and 5th now by quite the margin.

Still 4th, thanks to a nearly unbeaten month, winning against Man City and managing to draw against Chelsea (they went 2-0 in 10 mins lol), where we lost to Norwich due to I don't really know, but they're still 3rd. Also Southampton, somehow 5th.

Remember Moran?  This is him now. Wonderful.

We got 600k for him at Plymouth. Now he's worth TWELVE. MILLION. Well, 11.5, but close enough. Did I mention my former team has loaned him twice? Yep.

A very nearly unbeaten month (with all wins), where we won every game except from a game in the Carabao Cup that I intended to win because it wasn't important for us to win. The board didn't see the Carabao Cup as a priority of any kind, so I put out a squad that was nearly all youth.

We stay in 2nd, nearly unbeaten except from a match where I again fielded a mostly youth team, because it was guaranteed for us to move on from the Group Stages, and to rest players for the league games, which proved to be very useful, as we beat them 4-1. Oh, and we're 1 point away from 1st, which is brilliant.

We're first, but unless Man Utd loses their next game, we'll be 2nd again. This month was a bit rough losing Leg. 1 of the 1st Knockout Round... Heavily. Yeah.

We lost the title again, with 4 points seperating us.

You haven't lost the title yet. 4 points behind, but you have a game in hand. Win that, and the gap is 1 point. All to play for :)

Great, this is going to be HARD. Might lose my job.

 

New Tactics

For most games, we use the 424 we've been using. 

image.thumb.png.039aaea7a3585e8242de0f6386760c31.png

Then, in games like against Man Utd etc, we use a less attacking set up centered around trying to keep the ball, with the emphasis of while we still attack, with the opponent having much less of the ball (if possible), we stop them from scoring.

Unbeaten again, with 1 draw, with Man Utd, of which we used our difficult match tactic and had 57% of the possession all match, and we stay top with a 3 point lead, increased by 1 point from last month.
