I do love a German Nigerian defender though (have managed them both for Nigeria and Akpoguma in the Bundesliga). Having all that pace to burn makes figuring out to how to deal with opposition counters so much less painful. Haha, no just a team of battlers . Yes Felix and Kevin have been class - would be great if Udo could get into the Germany team but if not would love to see him don the Nigeria shirt too. Iorfa has been good as well - just need to swap out Ghanaian Schlupp for a Nigerian left back . 35 minutes ago, Carambau said: Following What about Stani, Andre Golke or Klaus Thomforde? Would be great if they would join your staff! They are true St. Pauli Legends. Wilkommen! Unfortunately Stani and Golke aren't in the game as backroom staff. Thomforde is with Germany U21s and not interested in joining us yet. I've got Zlatan Bajramovic in as U19s manager though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

smp20 Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 January - March 2021 Update Results The unbeaten run came to an end to last years champions Wolfsburg, but we're still in great form. We had a trio of outstanding results - Porto, Bayern, Gladbach - albeit sandwiched by losses with a particular disappointment losing our winning home streak to Hoffenheim. Table 6 games left and we're 11 points clear Fixtures We've got a nice 3 week break until we face Real Madrid so we can be fully fit and prepped. It's a huge fixture, as is the Hamburg derby!

smp20 Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 We managed to hold on to a 1-1 draw at the Bernebeu to clinch a place in the semi-final! We're the only non-English club left and City vs Utd was last years' final. And we face.... The toughest tie, Ancelotti's City! Our 2nd string lost 3-0 at home to Leverkusen but we're still 8 points clear with 5 games left. Bayern and Gladbach aren't officially out of the title race on 55 points, but form side Dortmund are our closest challengers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

smp20 Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 Its that time again... A thumping win against Augsburg gives us a lift. A 4-0 loss in Manchester gives us very little chance of going through to the final, we were always going to struggle against City with 10 men. Here's the table going into the Hamburg game. A win puts the pressure on Dortmund when they face Freiburg on Sunday. Come on boys, lets get one over HSV! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smp20 Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 Well that was hardly a classic - we've still never lost to HSV though Dortmund hit 5 first half goals to move within 3 points of us with 2 games to go. Eek! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smp20 Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 The chances of going through were extremely thin in the first place, but Jesus' goal killed all our chances. A decent performance though which will help kick us on to face the already relegated Aue at home.

smp20 Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 I would say it was a fairytale season, though I'm not sure our fans would like that phrase Player Awards A bit of a surprise in the player of the season - right back Dom Iorfa! Double the percentage of top scorer Poulsen, though he did have the best average rating in the team so well deserved Dom Also great to see Wittek as 3rd place, he firmed the left back spot ahead of big signing Schlupp with some fantastic performances. Player Stats A lot more rotation this season, as expected with a lot more games. Uduokhai and Akpoguma played a lot of games together in the heart of a solid defence, with Meffert just in front of them. Mystery Keeper... I forgot to mention that I signed a new keeper on 26th Jan . Pollersbeck is another signing from RBL for a meager £1.5m, a bargain for a good sweeper keeper. Love how well he sweeps off his line! Bundesliga A pathetic Bayern even missed out on Champions League football. They've got such a strong squad on paper it's surely only going to be a matter of time before they kick back into a rhythm and push for the title. Great to see Hamburg just miss out on Europe too - as well as Frankfurt stay up! 2. Bundesliga Mainz walked the 2nd tier and came up at the first time of asking, whilst Koln finally made it back up after 3 seasons of being the favourites. DFB-Pokal More failure for Bayern, much rather see the cup go to Dortmund though I'd really like to do better in it next season! Champions League Our amazing run to the semi's was a joy to behold - Man City won it for the 2nd season in a row as well as winning the Premier League. Europa League No German sides got to the final 4, Milan made another final and it was almost an all Milan final but Chelsea overcame both sides to win the EL. Finances £26.5m budget to sign players and a huge wage budget increase after asking for one! We're in a great financial state.

smp20 Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 Confession time - unfortunately I've lost interest in this save If I'm being honest, it's all a bit too easy and since I've spent multi-millions on a high quality team I'm not feeling the connection with the team anymore. I was expecting a long and grueling challenge taking them to the top which would have been much more fitting with St Pauli. On this note, I'm abandoning the save, but I will be back with a new one Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed the short ride. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
