Bracken Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 I've just moved in to my new stadium looking forward to that this season, but I think I gave the ol' Bridge a good send off... Season 2014/15 Review Here's the first of a couple of posts from me tonight Premier League So, what was interesting this year was that my competition had invested heavily. Falcao joined City (£300k p/w!!! Insane!) for £34.5m, United shelled out £105m in total, on Moutinho, M'Vila and Schurrle, while Arsenal spent £50m on reinforcements as well. I was expecting a real tough season, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Table A great league season for us, we were never in doubt as League leaders, top from the very start. We played superbly as a team, attacking with verve and style, and defending solidly. Here's the player stats Player Stats While Falcao got top scorer, for me Damiao had the better season. Second top scorer and top assist-maker is some achievement, he was fantastic. He started really slowly on the goal front but got a ton of assists, then averaged 2 goals a game in the second half of the season. He was, basically, epic. But he wasn't alone, Mata and Hazard were fantastic from AMCL/R, scoring and creating at will, while at the back JT was solid as ever and Chalobah has come on leaps and bounds. A great league season. League Cup Lost in the quarter final to Spurs, 3-1 away after extra time. Not terrible, the kids played well and just got unlucky. FA Cup The Final A great result in the final against a full strength United side, I played my reserves as I had all season and they didn't fantastically. Couldn't fault the players in this game. Champions League The Final First CL of this career and against United, giving us the treble, having beaten in two finals the only other English club to have won it. Really delighted the way the season worked out, I could imagine the media frenzy of me having to beat United, basically the new kid taking over from Fergie as the best manager in the UK. The game was obviously a tough one, no matter the opposition, my team has struggled in Europe. Even though my reserves had just beaten them 3-1 in the FA Cup, I knew this game would be different. Our run to the final was the easiest we've had: Shakhtar, CSKA Moscow and Porto in the knockout rounds, we managed to dodge all of the 'big' teams, but it still wasn't easy. I was delighted to win the final though, a great achievement. Conclusions Top Scorers Top Assists Full Stats by Av. Rating A great season from everybody in my book, really delighted with how it all came out and a great way to see off the Bridge. I've already sold a few players for a lot of cash, and I'll be bringing through some regens into the team and moving some backup players to first choice, should be an exciting season ahead, and I'll let you know how it goes. I'll post some regen screenshots in a little while too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bracken Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Hey guys need advice, am in summer of 2013 and looking for a striker. I can get lukas podolski for £4.5m or javier hernandez for £9m. What you guys think? I am stuck on who? Hernandez for me too, though I'm just randomly biased against one-footed players to be honest. Was I the only one expecting a Greek regen? Nope, me too when did you ask to build this stadium? I asked in May 2014, only took them a year to build it. That was the 3rd time I'd asked though, this time I said it was so we weren't left behind by our rivals, that seemed to work. United are now in a 94,000 seater Old Trafford, but I'm happy with 58,000 for now. So, I just got this message before my first home game of the year: Looking forward to it Here are a few of my regens that'll be strutting their stuff in Zola Park Wellington Bruno Signed in the first season, one of those few who spawn at the very start, I actually considered selling him last summer when he hadn't come on quite enough, so glad I didn't now. This is him at 4.5 star CA out of 5, an absolute beast at the back, especially in the air Chris Marsh Signed in 2013, spent last year on loan first at West Brom and then Leicester, Marsh will end up as one of my 3 top CB's alongside Bruno and Chalobah. He's a little injury prone, but when he stays fit he's pretty solid. This is him at 2 stars out of 5: Quentin Heath A youth academy product, turned up in my first batch of regens, his PA was originally 4 stars but has grown as he's developed. He was out on loan at Southampton last year and was one of their best players as they nabbed a 7th place PL finish. Here he is, also currently 2 out of 5 stars: Aad Van Raaij Another who was signed in 2013, this one from Ajax, he spent last year out on loan at Celtic, as a key player, and played and scored in the SPL and Champions League. He'll be my backup for Oscar as an Advanced Playmaker. He is currently at 2 out of 5 stars Rafael Fernandes Signed at the start of the game, like Bruno, he had some time in the first team before being loaned out to Reading. He played brilliantly last season as a backup to Mata, this season he's playing Moses role as Hazard's backup and a supersub. He's another who's at 2 stars, but only has 4 star PA. So, these are a few of my regens who will be in the first team squad this year Transfers In: £12m on 13 regens Out: James Ward-Prowse - £10.25m to Everton - just hadn't played well enough to merit retaining, even those his attributes were decent Ryan Bertrand - £19.75m to Newcastle - Have got some promising regens coming on and he never made it was a great price Radja Nainggolan - £28.5m to Newcastle - Great price and I have Romeu and Heath, just didn't need him, he was a good tutor though Sam Hutchinson - £3.5m to West Brom - never gonna be a regular and a decent price Victor Moses - £31m to Juventus - Huge bid, a great player for me but wanted over £100k p/w and the offer was just too good. David Luiz - £29m to Dortmund - Another huge bid, and as Bruno is now first choice there was only room for one afro'd Brazilian CB Youngsters and regens, and loan fees Total: £136m A huge amount of cash brought in over the summer, pretty pleased with the amount I got for those that left. Ward-Prowse was the hardest decision, that CM spot has been the most problematic for me, but he's been the most disappointing of the 3 I've tried there, so I decided to cut him loose. Managed to make a small profit on the £8m I paid for him, and I have a sell on clause too. He's already unhappy at Everton after they signed David Silva so he's annoyed by too many rivals just made me even happier I let him go. I'm going to be playing my regens a lot this year, so I'll let you know how they develop and how the team gets on! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you go about finding them? Kind of the same questions so thought I'd add Canal's quote in too. Basically, I have scouts who have complete knowledge of the major counties I look at (England, Scotland, France, Germany, Italy, Holland, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, etc.) and on the day that regens are created in those countries (you can find the dates on this forum somewhere), I send my scouts to those countries looking for players with a maximum age of 16 (17 seems to work better in Scotland, I don't know why). Because their knowledge is so good, they'll report the next day and you can sign those players for compensation straight away. While this might be making use of the fact that the game generates these players on a specific day (so it's not so realistic), I don't see it as cheating, as in real life players don't just suddenly exist, so it's conceivable my scouts would've been looking at them before anyway. Between regen creating dates, I have my scouts looking at specific regions with maximum ages varying between 16-19, depending on the region. This helps me find players in countries that I don't scout individually. Doing this, I've been able to find some quality regens, signing around 10-15 every year, with a number of them already around the first team squad. Hope that helps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natedog17 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 How has Lewis Baker turned out for you guys? He has 4 and a half star potential and at 19 looks like he could be a really good player in my save. Chalobah, Jordan Houghton, Christensen and Mitchell Beeney look look like they could be pretty good with some game time and development. Josh and Feruz havent developed well for me unfortunatley. Abel Hernandez has been performing very well since signing for the club scoring 8 goals and 3 assists in 8 games keeping lukaku and Torres rotating on the bench at the moment. De Bruyne is looking like he could be a world class cm with a bit of focus on off the ball and may take Harreras spot which may lead me to selling him, as I have oscar and young Lewis baker in the ranks, not to mention Adryan as well. Luke shaw at the age of 19 has taken Cole's position and made it his own, performing way better than I thought he would at this age and stage of his career, just played Spurs and Bale and Lennon could not out do him!

Canal Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Oscar turns into a beast, stats wise. But i cant seem to find the right position/role for him.

wanderer89 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Hey guys, just started a Chelsea save, wanna try and get a tactic going like they play IRL, producing some good attacking free flowing football! The tactic I'll probably be employing will be this one; Going on that tactic does anyone have any signings they'd make as replacements for who aren't good enough, I'm only thinking of probably Mikel/Lampard/Bertrand, but there are a few on big wages that I could probably get replacements for, like Lampard and Torres. I wanna TRY and go for youth and quality, but I'll probably bring in a couple of first team players to begin with and see how things go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamikaze_josh Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Planning to start my full save soon, although time is still short. Hoping to develop a Barca like style, with young, hungry and efficient players. I want to sign Joao Moutinho to be my Xavi and develop Oscar into my Iniesta. I'd like to keep Lampard, Ramires, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Mata, Lukaku, Courtois and as many as possible of the other youngsters. My only other signing will probably be David Alaba in place of Ashley Cole. Within 2 years, hopefully the high earners will all be shipped out. I'm yet to decide on who to develop as a false nine - any suggestions on young players capable of developing into that position? I will make the most out of Hazard for a year or two before getting rid of his extortionate wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommonufc Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Loaded up a Chelsea save whilst watching them take apart Aston Villa last night. Watched quite a bit of them this season, and have been the best side I've seen this season in 'football' terms. Eden Hazard has been like a 12th man. Probably largely down to the new ME being so favorable to dribblers, but have set up as a counter attacking side largely. Has proved favorable to be defensive in this ME I've found, as the added goals seen - so I'm keeping them to a minimum. Tactically It's working very well; taking some Rafa inspiration with his theory of attacking with five, and defending with five. Last note would be, WOW - Torres has been shredded of his stats this year! Anybody know if it's a case of his CA being dropped from his PA, and you can train him back to his Liverpool best?

Natedog17 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 A bit of Boxing day FM13 time. I am now in 2015 pre-season after having a hard time and not winning anything and only coming 4th in the League. This year the team will be having an overhaul. I will be looking at adding either experienced role models for tutoring purposes on frees or players under the age of 18 who will set the club up for the next 10 years. Transfers: In: ST-David Villa (33)-Free-Still looks a very good player and will be looking at him to tutor my future starlet Mason Bennet DL-Alex Grimaldo (was 18 when signed now 19)-Free MC-Simon Fermunt(young regen-18)-PSV-10 millioon DM/MC-Liam Verhuel(16- regen)-Ajax-4.5 million DL-Federico Tass (15-regen)-2.7 million joins us in 3 years time (2018). DR-Vernay(14-French Regen)-6.75 million-Looks like he could be a star in the future and will be developing our acadamey/ reserve team. MC-Eduardo Moreno (Uruguayan- 18-regen)-4.2 Million-Looks like he could be a star for the future. Players: Out: Garry Cahill-Norwich-15 Million Torres- A.C Millan-10 million- Decent amount of money for a 31 year old and I just thought it was time to bring through some of my younger players. Andreas Cornelius-Watford-5 Million-Just wasnt getting game time and at 22 I thought it was time to let him go. Ryan Betrand-Newcastle-10 Million Omeruo-Crystal Palace-1 million Loads of players out on loan Staff: Chief Scout-Jimmy Hampson Director of Football-Fabio Paratici-Assigned by Roman Formation: 4-5-1 4-2-3-1 Pre-Season Friendlies: The Brazilian Tour: Atletico Mineiro: Andre was a real threat on goal against us and therefore had to tight marking him to try and keep him out.I was intrigued to see how he would perform as I had almost signed him when he was just 19 and may be given a chance in other saves. Grimaldo looked great going forward and got us a penalty where his friend from Barca ,Villa, stepped up and scored. Hazard then took a shot from just outside the area after a rebound from a corner and scored. Side note-Terry at the age of 34 has lost almost all his pace but still is amazing in the centre of defence Cruziero: The main threat would come from Wallyson in the striker position and Luke Zen previously of palmeiras who would try and control everything from deep in the DM position. Other mentions would go to Leo, Paulo Miranda and Casado(RB-18-regen who had great stats on loan from Santos-Scouting opportunity) in there defence, who all looked of good quality. Their main man Wallyson scored an early goal by arriving late into the box and hitting it low. Our next best chance to equalise came in the 88th minute when Hernandez latched onto a cross but struck it straight at the keeper at point blank range. The brazilians then packed the midfield, switching to a 3-6-1, in order to close out the game and it worked. 1-0 loss the first loss of the pre-season. Need to increase closing down and D-line Hull: This wasnt going to be more of a physical battle and we would need to front up. Unfortunately Paul McShane scored a goal from a free kick putting us behind. We then equalised late into the game when the substitute De Bruyne came on. Side note-Eden Hazard is way better on the left wing than he is in the centre of the pitch. De Bruyne looks to be the player to do the job in this role Estudiantes: Hazard dribbles past 2 defenders and has only the goalkeeper to score and he does so with class. Second goal comes from a cross from Hazard as he leaves his fullback and crosses for Ben Arfa to smash it in far post. Third goal comes from a corner landing to Azpilcueta who passes it ahead of Luke who is making a run from deep, he shoots and he scores! Corner for them, the ball rebounds from a Luiz header, it lands to Matias Sanchez who smashes it in, goal. They score another goal after a counter attack. After a superb run from Nem he off loads the ball to Mata who dribbles past 3-4 defenders and then shot...GOAL! MOM-Hazard Leverkuusen: First goal comes from a flat bullet throw from Azpilicueta as Luiz gets his head to it. Great interplay between Grimaldo and Hazard before Hazard dribbles, shoots and scores! The ball rebounds from a corner and Sidney Sam hits it on the volley adding a goal to their tally. Nem gets the ball goes out then cuts back in runs towards goal, shoots and scores.MOM-Hazard Velez The game was holidayed meaning I left my assistant eddie to chose the team. We won 4-1 with Terry getting the MOM. Next Update soon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canal Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 yeah, Will Hughes is interesting... inconsistent. but im trying to find him the perfect role! Been rotating him with Oscar between AMC (AP - Attack) and AMR (IF - Support). but ideally i'd have him and Audren (young french guy) both playing MC together, allowing me to have Mazacar (MAta, haZAard, osCAR) in the attacking roles.

Natedog17 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Yeah I could see that being to your advantage but I have also read around the forums and it seems he performs best in the AMC position so may be an interesting challenge for you.

Canal Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 well Mata is getting on a little bit (late 20s is old for me), so maybe he'll fill that void. but until then im gonna give him a go at MC for the remainder of the season, i've just finished Jan 2016, 14 points clear at the top of the league, so a bit of rotation is gonna be harmless! Kinda wish i had given De Bruyne a chance, his physical stats just didnt do it for me, so i loaned him out loads, then dumped him in my reserves. error on my behalf.

Natedog17 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Wow sounds like you are romping your league! Who are your main title contenders? The surprise on my save last season was Norwich (my local team) who were in 2/3rd for a lot of the season. Yeah I am sure he will be a good player for you as long as he gets the game time. I have been looking at Matt Phillips and Tom Ince who look like they could be pretty good wingers if I go the british route. I almost let Kevin go but once I played in a few games he changed my mind pretty quickly! haha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
