I too had Josh Thomas in my save - he was a great scorer! --- Congrats on your progress through the leagues, also. I'm not 15 seasons in and just entering my first in the Championship but I doubt I'll be able to pull off what you've done. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

dafuge 909 Posted December 26, 2020 Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 Met Police - Premier League - 2030/31 Four promotions in five years has put us in a really difficult position, we just can't compete with the biggest clubs in England. League Table - I'm delighted with the result but our results were just random. League Cup - we had a tough draw early on. FA Cup - we got revenge over Arsenal, but lost in the next round. Squad - it's improving, but it's still a Championship level squad. Transfers - I got a bit carried away blowing most of our budget on a winger who failed to impress. Finances - Premier League finances are a bit different. Key Player Profiles: Álex Domínguez - our top scorer again. Alessandro Lauricella - an amazing free transfer. Önder Çetin - the big signing from last season was still one of our best players.

dafuge 909 Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 Met Police - Premier League - 2031/32 We avoided a relegation battle last season, so this year was all about getting a squad together that could move us up the table. League Table - we finished the season in great form and qualified for the Europa Conference League, whatever that is. League Cup - we've not quite got the squad depth to really go for this, but we might start to be able to give it a go. FA Cup - we had a great run but we went to Wembley with half of our defence unavailable. Squad - the squad is finally taking shape, we've got a number of good young players now. Transfers - we had a much better transfer window, pinching some great young players from Serbia and Colombia. Finances - the finances are not a worry, but the wages of the players will start to increase. Key Player Profiles: Álex Domínguez - top scorer again. Juan Mauricio Delgado - a bargain at £1m. Pablo Casalino - not the greatest return, but he's a quality player. Career Overview: Season League Position Achievements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2021/22 National League South 14th 2022/23 National League South 1st Promoted as champions 2023/24 National League 14th 2024/25 National League 7th 2025/26 National League 2nd Promoted via playoffs 2026/27 League Two 7th Promoted via playoffs 2027/28 League One 6th 2028/29 League One 1st Promoted as champions 2029/30 Championship 2nd Promoted 2030/31 Premier League 14th 2031/32 Premier League 7th Next Season: We are not ready to challenge for the title, but I think we could be capable of qualifying for European competition again. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
dafuge 909 Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 I was wondering why the European games had not been scheduled, turns out West Ham (who we beat to 7th) went and won the FA Cup Link to post Share on other sites
dafuge 909 Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 Met Police - Premier League - 2032/33 With a 7th placed finish and a young squad that was starting to take shape, I was hopeful we could qualify for European football this season. League Table - we were in the bottom half at the midway point, but our form picked up at the end just like last season. I've checked, we've made it to the Champions League! League Cup - I was hopeful of a good run, but an 89th minute own goal ended it for us. FA Cup - we did well to knock out United, but couldn't get past City. Squad - I'm so close to having the perfectly balanced squad, but having 14 wonderkids can't be a bad thing. Transfers - the January transfers made up the numbers, but I spent big on some quality players in the summer. Finances - we made a big loss, but the investments should pay off. Key Player Profiles: Álex Domínguez - top scorer again, but he's not the standout player he used to be. Jason Bradley - the £30m man. Andrés Ibáñez - we now have two quality AMCs.

dafuge 909 Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 Met Police - Premier League - 2033/34 In just three years in the top flight we had qualified for the Champions League, could this be the season we emerged as title contenders? League Table - we just couldn't keep up with the top four, leaving us stuck in 5th with nothing to play for at the end of the season. League Cup - we should be good enough to do well in this competition, but our run finished early. FA Cup - it doesn't come much worse than a 121st minute loss. UEFA Champions League - we had a really tough group draw, but finishing 3rd set us up to make history. Squad - I've got the perfect 22 man squad, but I just can't keep everyone happy. Transfers - just a few transfers, most of which seemed to be Brazilians. Finances - the finances are good, but these small wages won't last too much longer. Key Player Profiles: Álex Domínguez - top scorer again. Stamatis Zafeirakis - he started slowly, but he's starting to find his form. Mats Vandamme - the big money signing.

dafuge 909 Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 Met Police - Premier League - 2034/35 After qualifying for the Champions League again, we were setting our sights on doing it again and possibly winning a domestic cup. League Table - once again, our late season form saw us creep un into 3rd. UEFA Super Cup - it's just a friendly, but winning this felt huge. League Cup - this was the cup I thought we could win, but Man City had other ideas. FA Cup - a real shock here as we threw away a penalty shootout. UEFA Champions League - we had some flashes of brilliance, the final being one of those. Squad - we are maybe a bit weak on strikers, but the squad is fantastic. Transfers - just three replacements, but one of them was an expensive striker. Finances - the Champions League win has made a huge difference. Key Player Profiles: Miguel Luís - not the most amazing season, but still our top scorer. Juan Flores - right wing was a problem position for us, now it's our strongest. Vagner Gabriel - one of a number of great centre backs.

kingjericho 353 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 That CL win is amazing. This confirms my idea that winning the PL in recent years has become almost as hard as winning the CL. Link to post Share on other sites

dafuge 909 Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 Met Police - Premier League - 2035/36 The Champions League win has put is right up there with the best in Europe, so we were looking to repeat that success back in England. League Table - we looked set to go unbeaten, until a third of my squad missed a month for the Olympic qualifiers. UEFA Super Cup - we retained the cup with a narrow win. League Cup - for the second year in a row, we were losing finalists. FA Cup - we lost out on penalties fairly early on. UEFA Champions League - Barcelona got their revenge with the same scoreline that won it for us last season. Squad - there's a bit of room for improvement, but this is an excellent squad. Transfers - I replaced most of strikers. Finances - a decent profit, but the wages are starting to shoot up. Key Player Profiles: José Alexandre - the new striker was our top scorer. Mats Vandamme - our most valuable player. Birol Al - not a planned signing, but I had to jump at the chance to sign an elite level player.

dafuge 909 Posted Saturday at 15:09 Author Share Posted Saturday at 15:09 Met Police - Premier League - 2036/37 Despite winning the league last season, losing two cup finals really hurt. This season we needed to do better. League Table - we were comfortable winners, allowing us to field the youngsters for the last few games. Community Shield - our first appearance in this was an impressive one. League Cup - third time lucky! FA Cup - after a long wait for a domestic cup, we picked up our second. UEFA Champions League - we did our best to throw this away, but we edged out United on penalties in another final. Squad - an insanely talented group of players. Transfers - I was busy as I continued our hunt for a goalscorer. Finances - a big loss, but we won't need to spend big next season. Key Player Profiles: Craig Austin - the backup striker I bought last season turned out to be quite good. Kacper Zalewski - good wingers make such a difference to my tactics. Mats Vandamme - our most valuable player.
