argento Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 With my last save over I was looking for a game to mess around for a few months whilst I wait for FM18. I have downloaded the latest update for the transfers and right teams for 17/18 season. 3 players in, Diego Poyet looks like he could eventually develop into a tidy player but I don't expect him to feature much this season. The two others arrive on loan and should be about the first season Llorente is a decent holding midfielder and will compete with Mulumbu/Tettey for that spot and Lopes is more attacking minded and will probably compete with Hoolahan for a starting berth. With our strength being in the middle of the park I am going with a 4-3-3 that served me well when I was at Atletico Alianza Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

argento Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 Its been an absolute goal fest so far! Couple of games we have got quite lucky with the Reading and the Hull games springing to mind. The Villa game was amazing, Oliveira putting 5 past them, shockingly he isn't top scorer in the league with Boro's Jordan Rhodes having bagged 14 already. We are sitting just behind Boro so far but we do have game in hand. Our old rivals Ipswich lurking outside play offs, would be good if they can kick on as we have a great chance of going up this season on our current form and would be great to continue this rivalry. With wins against Grimsby and then Ipswich (again!) it sees us enter the 4th round and a tough game against Boro. We have home advantage and thus a great shot at getting into the last 8!

argento Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 Our great start continues thanks to our front 3 being quite prolific. Middlesbrough did however get the better of us in the league and the league cup so our run comes to the end and we miss out on a trip to Anfield. The injuries are starting to add up now with Gunn, Oliveira, Watkins, Hoolahan and Murphy all on the sidelines. We have built a solid lead already from Wolves in 2nd and a 12 point lead from the play offs and we aren't even at the halfway point yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
argento Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 3 players out permanently none of them for huge fees but with Jarvis in particular managed to shave some excess off the wage bill. Vrancic probably will go permanently end of the year if I can find a buyer and I will not be renewing Trybull's contract at the end of the season. Poyet and Maddison will hopefully improve with some regular football. Just one player arriving in the window and just on loan, Cook will add a bit more steel to the middle of the park. Continue to dominate the Championship although in the FA Cup our first test against a Premier League side saw us crash out which suggests the gulf between the leagues could be bigger than I thought considering Swansea have been very poor this year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
