Avoid The Drop 3.0 - Game Thread

[Spurs + Eastbourne 4eva]

Maybe it's my massive value that's putting teams off. Quite expensive for a defender I suppose. Maybe I can drag Villa up the table....maybe.

[letissierandhenryaregreat]

Bambang Pinheiro is really starting to push on now! Delighted that he's the runner up for Asian Player of the Year. Just hoping he can achieve even some small success with East Timor

[Charlesbeams]

End of Season 2019/20

Erik Bäckermann - Carrying on his great form with 49(1) games, 29 goals and 15 assists for Bayern, helping them win the league and Club World Cup, they were also Euro Super Cup runners up. Was named Champions League 3rd place for Golden Boot.

Antoine Clemont - A pretty good season for Antoine, playing 38 games for Southampton, scoring 12, creating 9 assists and getting 10 PoMs. Southamtpon finished 8th in the Premier League. Broke the record for most PoMs in a season for Southampton with 9. Named in Premier League Team of the Week on 7 occasions, Was voted Player of the Month on 3 occasions, named in Players' Team of the Year and named Players' Young Player of the Year.

El Mantis - Porto as expected won the league again, the Supertaca and League Cup. No thanks down to El Mantis with 15 goals and 11 assists in 45 games. He was shortlisted for World Golden Ball and won North American Player of the Year for 3rd year running.

Gins - Things just aren't working for Gins so far, he still hasn't played much for Blackburn at all and really needs to leave the club to get anywhere. Is currently unhappy and wants to leave for first team football and rightly so. Contract runs out next year, so if he's not stupid he won't sign a new one. Blackburn finished 7th in the league.

Christopher Hatton - Christopher had a pretty good first season in Spain, but seemed like a rotation player. He played 24(22) in total, scoring 2 and getting 4 assists, his performances have caught the eye of Liverpool, might not go down well with Everton fans. Atletico finished 4th in the league.

Junior - A ridiculous season for Junior, 56 games played, 13 scored, 33 assists and 14 PoMs. Lyon were Champions Trophy runners up and finished 3rd in the league. Junior also broke the Ligue 1 assists in a season record with 19 and Lyon assists record with 25. Not sure how he isn't in the National team yet.

Steven Kemp - Steven continued his good form, playing 40 games for Villa, scoring 1, creating 12 assists and getting 22 PoMs. Villa however struggled and finished 16th in the league. Steven was named in the Team of the Week 14 times, Young player of the month once, Named Players' Player of the Year, Named in Players' Team of the Year and broke 2 records, Villa record for most PoM with 20 and most PoM in Premier League with 18.

Lawrence Lazewski - Another good season from Lawrence has attracted interest from 2 top clubs. He played 26(10) and scored 17 goals. Spurs finished 7th in the Premier League. Was named young player of the month on one occasion. Scored 8 in his last 10 for USA as well.

Bambang Pinheiro - His performances for Everton this season have attracted attention from Monaco. He played 41(1) games, scoring 13 goals, making 7 assists and named PoM 6 times. Everton finished 14th in the league.

Lewis Walsh - Is starting more games for West Ham, but only 20(8) in total, scoring 13 goals, helping West Ham to 9th position in the league. Was named young player of the month for August. Unfortunately Wales didn't make it to the Euros.

Relegated Players

El Ticuito - Has picked England over Costa Rica and is in the Team for the Euros. Had a fantastic season with Hull, playing 52 games, scoring 2, setting up 21 and named PoM 20 times. Hull however finished 4th and missed out in the Play-offs. Named in Championship team of the week on 9 occasions, Player of the month 3 times, Named in Players' Team of the Year, Named Championship Player of the Year and broke 3 Hull records, for avg rating, most PoMs and most assists.

Zachary Eldinho - Zachary got a huge move to Chelsea after getting relegated and had an amazing season, he scored 29 goals, got 8 assists and was named PoM 9 times. He still didn't get top goalscorer though. Chelsea finished 3rd in the league. Zachary was named in Team of the Week 7 times, Player of the Month twice and in Players' Team of the Year.

Aboubakari Mensah - A fantastic season again for Atletico, playing 56 games, scoring 19, getting 16 assists and named PoM 17 times. Atletico finished 4th in the league. Broke Atletico record for assists with 15 and the record for most PoM with 12.

El Ticuito stayed on the bench again.

Steven Kemp was named in the Dream Team.

I should have really sorted out the Germany team thing.

[Tullem]

El Ticuito got 20 PoM from RB! Scenes. Like seeing him with the England squad for the Euros but a shame he didn't stick with Costa Rica as he'd have had loads more caps by now.

Still hoping for a transfer too, should be possible especially after his last season.

[podunkboy]

Loving the Bäckermann, almost tempted to order me a custom Team Germany jersey to wear while I follow the story. (Yes, I'm prone to doing that sort of thing, two years ago I ordered a Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic jersey to accompany my FM 2013 long-term save). Won't be happy until he's #1 in Europe.

Have thought about similar before, but never actually done anything.

Next end of season will be tomorrow some time.

[DarkySurrounding]

Ive done the same thing, i own an Atletico shirt with Messaoudi 10 on the back, since he scored 30 plus goals a season for 6 straight seasons untill i moved from Atletico.

Anyways Junior did immense and rightfully managed the big money move to Madrid, PSG wont be happy they let him go, hope a good national team run comes soon.

[swooperproop]

Yeah Antoine, beast mode! Another great, even better season that before! I'm loving this sign-up

EDIT: to join up on the shirt conversation - I got myself a Kirklarelispor shirt with Cofie 19 on the back a few years ago, when I did a long-term Kirklarelispor save... the only save I ever did that lasted over 20 ingame seasons lol

[Charlesbeams]

End of Season 2020/2021

Erik Bäckermann - Erik carried on his great form, scoring 22 goals in 31(4) for Bayern, but is currently out for up to 6 weeks with a hip injury. Bayern won the German Super Cup and the League. Germany are in with a chance to win the Euro Nations League, but he will miss the semi and possibly the final.

Antoine Clemont - Antoine continued to be one of the best for Southampton, playing 42 games, scoring 7, creating 13 assists and named PoM 11 times. He is now a Southampton Icon. Southampton had a poor 2nd half of the season and ended up in 14th place. Broke Southampton record for Assists and PoM with 11 and 12. Was also named in Players' Team of the Year.

El Mantis - El Mantis continuing to impress with 25 goals, 20 assists and 19 PoMs in 59 games for Porto. Porto won the league once again, Taca de Portugal and Supertaca, they were also Euro Cup semi-finalists.

Gins - Finally he's Blackburns first choice keeper, where he played 55 games, conceded 76 and kept 12 clean sheets. He helped Blackburn reach the play-offs but had a poor game as they lost to Hull in the Final. So he has also signed that new contract as well.

Christopher Hatton - A fairly good first season with Juventus, scoring his first goal for them and creating 9 assists. He is wanted once again, but only minor interest shown. Juventus finished 2nd in the league and runners up in the Super Cup.

Junior - Possibly didn't think he'd be in the first team but went on to play 53(1) games, scoring 16 goals and getting 20 assists. Apparently 20 assists was the most in a season for Real. Real won the Spanish Super Cup and the League.

Steven Kemp - Steven impressed once again but really needs to move away if he wants to win anything. He played 38 with 13 assists and 16 PoMs. Villa finished in 11th place. He was named Players' Young Player of the Year and was in the Players' Team of the Year. Belgium are into the Semi's of the Euro Nations League against Germany in a repeat of the Euro Quarter Finals.

Lawrence Lazewski - Seems like a first team regular now, with 32(6) games played, scoring 16 and getting 7 assists. He has attracted attention from two clubs. Spurs finished 6th in the League, so European football again next season.

Bambang Pinheiro - A great first season at Man Utd, playing 37 games, scoring 12 and getting 11 assists. Man Utd won the Euro Super Cup, Capital One Cup and finished 2nd in the Premier League. On the national side of things, East Timor haven't won a game since October 2018.

Lewis Walsh - No injuries for Lewis but he only played 13(6) games for West Ham, scoring 8 goals. Seems happy enough though. West Ham finished 8th in the Premier League. He broke the record for Wales goals with 5 in a season.

Relegated Players

El Ticuito - More and more assists, amazingly he got 2 goals, 21 assists and 20 PoMs, exactly the same as last season, only difference was 2 more games played. He helped Hull to the Play-off final and was named player of the match as they got promoted to the Premier League. Championship Player of the Year and Players' team of the year.

Zachary Eldinho - Fantastic season for Chelsea, scoring 39 goals in total breaking Chelseas goalscorer record with 32 and 31 in the league getting him that top goalscorer trophy and not that far off Andy Coles 34. Chelsea however only finished 4th and were FA Cup runners up. Was named Player of the Year and Players' Team of the Year.

Aboubakari Mensah - Had another good season with Atletico, scoring 14 and getting 14 assists in 48(1) games. Atletico could only get 6th place in the league though and were Spanish Cup runners up. Is a favourite for Atletico now and they are in his favourites, the only team he isn't favourites of is Nantes.

Chris Small - Not a great season, but still contributed towards Hulls promotion back to the Premier League. Played 53 in total, scoring 3 and getting 9 assists. Scored his 3rd and 4th goals for Scotland this season too.

Wanted

Christopher Hatton - Lyon (Minor)

Lawrence Lazewski - Atletico and Man City (Major)

[spartans5]

Having a pretty good shout in the first team. Goal this coming season is to play in all 38 games and score 20+ league goals. Also, should overtake Donovan for USA career goals record fairly soon.

[DarkySurrounding]

Hmm, quite interesting to see Junior switch allegiance after his one and only Brazil cap, but getting a few games for England looks good, nice to be on the Golden Ball shortlist to and keep up form at a big team.

[Tullem]

Looks like El Ticuito is going to be Hull until he retires Hopefully they can avoid relegation this season.

[Charlesbeams]

End of Season 2021/22

Erik Bäckermann - Looks like he a Striker more than on the left now. He had a good season scoring 35 goals in 51(2) games for Bayern. Bayern won the League, were German Super Cup runners up, won the Europa League with Erik scoring in the final and he scored again as they won the German Cup. Is with the Germany squad for the World Cup.

Antoine Clemont - Antoine continues his good form with Southampton, scoring 9 goals and getting 8 assists in 46 games. Southamtpon finished 13th in the league. Antoine was named in the Players' team of the year. Is with the England squad for the World Cup.

El Mantis - Not quite as good as last season, but still very impressive. 50 games played, 19 goals scored and 15 assists. Porto won the League and Supertaca. He will travel to Qatar with Mexico for the World Cup aswell.

Gins - Another good full season for Gins as he gets his career going properly. Played 51 times for Blackburn conceded 47 and kept 22 clean sheets. He helped Blackburn win the Championship, tough next season. Named in Players' Team of the Year and is with the England squad for the World Cup.

Christopher Hatton - A fairly good season from Christopher scoring 5 goals and getting 7 assists in 31(9) games as he helped Juventus win Serie A, but they struggled elsewhere. Christopher will be heading to the World Cup with Colombia.

Junior - Probably his worst season since PSG, but still a very good season. He scored 14 goals in 57(1) games and got 13 assists. Real won the Spanish Super Cup and were Spanish Cup runners up. Real finished 3rd in the league first time since 2014. Is with the England squad for the World Cup.

Steven Kemp - Fantastic once again, but still at Villa. He played 41 games with 13 assists and 22 PoMs. Villa finished 9th in the League. Named English Footballer of the Year and in the Players' Team of the Year. With Belgium for the World Cup.

Lawrence Lazewski - Great season for Lawrence, who seems to have gone down the Clint Dempsey route picking number 2. He scored 25 goals in 43(6) games for Spurs who could only finish 12th in the league. Is wanted by Roma and is with the USA Squad for the World Cup.

Bambang Pinheiro - Great season with 12 goals and 12 assists in 49 games, helping Man Utd win their first league title in 4 years. He thinks Daley Blind is a good player.

Lewis Walsh - Looks like he might be on the way out at West Ham with just 7(5) games played, scoring just the 1 goal. West Ham almost went down as well, finishing 17th. Wales have made it to the World Cup and Lewis is going.

Relegated Players

El Ticuito - Back in the Premier League, no problem for El Ticuito, 43(1) games in total with 1 goal, 21 assists and 10 PoMs. His form has attracted interest from Liverpool and Man Utd. Hull shocked a lot of people by finished in 6th, getting into Europe. Was named in Players' Team of the Year and Players' Young Player of the Year. Is with the England squad for the World Cup.

Zachary Eldinho - Another great season which included his 100th Chelsea goal. He scored 37 in all competitions with 15 assists and 15 PoMs. Chelsea struggled a little in the league finished 5th, but did win the Capital One Cup. Broke the record for most PoMs in a season with 13. Named Players' Player of the Year and in Players' Team of the Year. With the Sweden squad for the World Cup.

Aboubakari Mensah - Fantastic season with 61 played, 15 goals, 24 assists and 14 PoMs. His form helped Atletico win their first title in 4 years. They were also Europa League runners up.

Chris Small - Chris had a great season, scoring 9 goals and making 11 assists in 43 games, helping Hull finish 6th and qualifying for Europe. Thinks El Ticuito is a good player. No World Cup for Scotland.

[Charlesbeams]

World Cup 2022 Group Stages

Wales - Lewis Walsh played twice and was disappointing but Wales progress.

England - Gins played all 3 games keeping 2 clean sheets

England - Antoine Clemont played 2 and came on as a sub, he made 3 assists in the 4-0 win over USA and another against Holland.

England - El Ticuito played 1 game and was disappointing.

England - Junior played just the 1 game.

USA - Lawrence Lazewski played all 3 games and failed to impress.

Colombia - Christopher Hatton started 2 and came on as a sub against Mexico.

Mexico - For some reason El Mantis was an unused sub in all games, don't think he was injured either.

Germany - Erik Backermann played all 3 games and scored 1 goal.

Belgium - Steven played in all 3 games for Belgium.

Wales are up against Portugal, England will play Spain, Colombia will face Germany, Mexico take on Italy and Belgium will play Argentina.

[Charlesbeams]

World Cup 2022 2nd Round

Wales - Lewis played against Portugal but couldn't help Wales get through.

England - El Ticuito and Antoine Clemont played as Spain knocked England out, maybe Gins should have played.

Colombia - Fantastic game but it's home time for Christopher, he played 66 minutes of the game.

Germany - Erik had a great game, scoring twice and getting an assist.

Mexico - El Mantis played 45 minutes and was disappointing.

Belgium - Another great game, Steven played the whole game.

Next up Germany play Denmark and Belgium take on Italy.

[Charlesbeams]

World Cup 2022

Belgium - Steven played but couldn't help Belgium get past Italy.

Germany - Erik played but was poor. He scored his penalty but Denmark went through after 24 penalties.

Someone is joining Junior at Real Madrid and possibly another big transfer happening.

[Charlesbeams]

September Transfers

El Mantis - Porto to PSG for £33m (possible £43m)

El Ticuito - Hull to Real Madrid for £16.75m (possible £28.5m)

[Tullem]

Booooooom. Huge transfer to Real Madrid Hoping he can blossom there

[podunkboy]

24 pens? Wow, THAT must have been exciting to watch. Shameful that Germany lost to Denmark, we should probably go and invade them or something, carry off all the hot Danish women and some beer.

[Charlesbeams]

Noticed this earlier on about social media, rightfully so if you knew how many games he's been playing, or not playing.

3 games left of the season, 1 team relegated and 1 more can go down out of 3 teams.

Edit: 2 players gone this season.

[swooperproop]

This time it must be Antoine, he's so commited to a crap club, he's even vice-captain...

[Charlesbeams]

End of Season 2022/23

Erik Bäckermann - Another good season from the German, he scored 32 goals in all competitions helping Bayern win the league once again. They also won the German Super Cup and Euro Super Cup. He is wanted by Valencia. Was shortlisted for World Golden Ball.

Antoine Clemont - Great season for Antoine, 51 games played with 12 goals and 8 assists. Southampton struggled, but with 3 wins in the last 3 games they ended up in 11th place, they were also Capital One Cup runners up. Named Players' Young Player of the Year.

El Mantis - A pretty good first season in France, 47(2) games played with 9 goals and 13 assists. PSG won the League and were Coupe de la Ligue runners up. He was named North American Player of the Year again.

Gins - Not the best of seasons but he did help Blackburn stay in the Premier League. 43 games played, 69 conceded and just 4 clean sheets. Thinks the club is underachieving having finished 14th in the league. It seems he is taking the England number 1 shirt as well.

Christopher Hatton - Christopher played 21 games, scoring 3 and getting 6 assists before a bad injury (damaged cruciate ligament) which has left him out for up to 8 months meaning he will miss the Copa America. Juventus won the Italian Super Cup, finished 2nd in the League and were Italian Cup runners up.

Junior - A great season with 58 games played, 13 scored and created 23 assists. Real won the League and the Spanish Cup. Broke his own record for Assists with 21 and named in Champions League dream team. Thinks El Ticuito is a good player.

Steven Kemp - Stayed a bit too long at Villa and the inevitable happened, he played 41 games with 5 assists and 12 PoMs, but it wasn't enough to keep Villa up, they finished 19th and he now wants to leave because of relegation. Was named in Players' Team of the Year.

Lawrence Lazewski - A good season with 45(1) games played and 27 goals scored. Spurs had a good season finishing 4th in the league. I think he is 2 goals from beating the USA goalscorer record. Was 3rd place North American Player of the Year.

Bambang Pinheiro - What a season, 52(1) games played, 19 goals and 12 assists, helping Man Utd win the Premier League, FA Cup runners up and won the Champions League, in which Bambang scored in the Final. Was named Players' Player of the Year, in Players' Team of the Year and Asian Footballer of the Year again.

Lewis Walsh - A season to forget for Lewis, playing just 3(4) games for West Ham, scoring 1 goal. Maybe if they'd played him they wouldn't have finished in 18th place. He is wanted by Leicester and QPR, so hopefully he can get away and get first team football.

Relegated Players

El Ticuito - A huge move to Real Madrid and he played 40(6) games in total, scoring 3 times, getting 9 assists and 8 PoMs. Real won the League and the Spanish Cup. Broke the record for most PoMs in a season for England with 5. Thinks Junior is a good player.

Zachary Eldinho - A great season once again for Zachary, but not so for Chelsea. He played 49(4) games and scored 38 goals. Chelsea struggled and finished in 8th place, they did win the FA Cup though where he scored twice.

Aboubakari Mensah - Another good season, scoring 13 goals and getting 21 assists in 46 games for Atletico as they finished in 3rd place, were Spanish Cup runners up and won the Spanish Super Cup. Won the African Nations again with Ghana. Was named in African 11 of the Year and named Broadcaster African Footballer of the Year. Was also voted Best player in Europe last season.

Chris Small - A good season for Chris with 55 games played, 7 scored and 14 assists. Hull finished 13th and made it to the Europa League semi finals. Was named in the Players' Team of the Year.

I haven't read all of the updates on all of the other players but I think I must have been one of the most successful players, going by how many times I was in team of the year. Why oh why did I stay at Villa. Damn relegation.

Great updates

Not for trophies, but definitely as one of the worlds best players. He will probably leave now and join a bigger club.

I think Erik Backermann has 19 trophies with Bayern and Germany

Relegated Players

El Ticuito - Probably not the season he was hoping for, he only got 16(1) games for Real, i think due to a tactic change. Is rightfully unhappy at wanting more first team football. Real won the League and Spanish Cup. Is with the England squad for the Euros.

Is now a Villa Legend.

Aboubakari Mensah - Not so good for Aboubakari this season, just 26 games played with 5 goals and 10 assists. He was unhappy but seems ok now. Atletico finished 2nd in the league and won the Spanish Super Cup.

Been a great few seasons for me with Spurs, leading them to Champions League play. What's the current cap record for USA, as well as goals.
