OlivierL Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) Season 2 disclosure part 2 Henry from Ile de France wants to steal some talent.. Armand is in the form of his life, so I'm asking for his pension to be reconsidered. Demarconnay has been our legendary goalkeeper since 2008, but his time has come. First half Second half After marseille scored.. we conceded and our 4th place was gone Difference is 1.7m prize money. 4th and 5th should be Europa League group stage.

Hootieleece Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 The extra money would be nice, but play well in Europa Cup and you will get it anyway. Play your best players in Cup Games and use your rotation options against relegation fodder if possible. Do you still Said Arab on your team? He is a good player but often injured for me.

OlivierL Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) Island of France - Une Ambition Capitale ! Season 2 - Review An unexpectedly wonderful first season in Ligue 1 ! Season 2 : Fixtures 1 - Fixtures 2 - Finances - Season review - Squad stats - Competitions - Club Vision - Best eleven Ligue 1 Proud ! Coupe de France Not our best run, maybe next season. Best players Kanté - Martin - Sissoko - Solet - Ayé Just like last season, Libero Kanté was our best player ! 3 goals and 3 assists but a real force at the back and 54 key passes ! Martin played more as in his first season under my control . If i selected him, i played with a roaming playmaker . He did a great job , scoring a few screamers. He scored 4 and assisted 3. Sissoko was on loan and rotated with Arrondel . He provided 7 assists and 5 goals. I hope i can buy him for 1.25m agreed fee. Solet had a great solid season at the back. I don't have an option to buy but i hope that i can reloan (or buy) him. Ayé started great this season but stopped scoring . at the end he scored 11 and assisted 4. I have a future fee arranged for 2 milj. Don't know yet if i'll sign him. Manager thoughts I was very proud about my first season , i'm even proud about my second. Media Prediction 20th and finishing 5th(almost 4th) . Being qualified for Europe is even more important . This will make my balance look 'ok' and i'll be able to invest in the squad and youth facilities. Season 3 plans I want to improve the squad (what a cliché) and my staff (better personalities) . Let's see if i can invest some of this prize (and future EL) money in my youth facilities . Finishing in the top 10 is my ambition unless i can improve my squad with four or five players.

OlivierL Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) I won't buy Sissoko as Wing back. I want a few players with better personalties in the first team so that brings me to my shortlist.. Kwateng will cost me 1.5milj (Yago 1.2) but he has a better personalty and scores much higher at Wing back position. He has also experience at ligue 1 level, Yago played in Ligue 2 for Caen. Solet won't join.. they ask to much. I'll show all my transfers in the next update. Edited June 17, 2020 by OlivierL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jogo Bonito Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Yes your transfer policy makes it hard. Even mine a few seasons in is hard, French and French-speaking Africans 23 or under at a team trying to finish in Ligue 1 spots for Europe season after season.

OlivierL Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) Island of France - Une Ambition Capitale ! Season 3 - preview 1 Transfers WBR Kwateng will replace Sissoko, loaned from Saint-étienne . I could sign Sissoko but Kwateng is better and costs only 300k more. Kwateng has a good personalty and that is what i need in the first team. He scored 61,67% for WBR role. Yoann Etienne will replace Abdi. Abdi wants 3x more wages as Etienne and Etienne is younger and has a better personality. Moukoudi will replace the irreplaceable Solet . Solet can't be reloaned because he'll get chances at Lyon and is to expensive to buy. Moukoudi has a good personalty. He scores 69,17 % for DC role, Solet scored at the end 70%. Future fee option activited for Florian Ayé .He started great last season but after the winter break he didn't produce much.. i think he'll do better next season. Ben Arfa should be my star player. He is 34 year old but still scores 71,67 % at the advanced forward role. He'll replace loanie Gouano Young central defender Muamba was signed a few months ago and should replace loanie Dramé . Muamba looks promising, scoring 68,33 % for DC role. Promoted to first team Young goalkeeper Yanis Laïb joins the first team after the retirement from legend Demarconnay Young striker Malebe gets his chance in the pre-season. Signed at the end of the first season from PSG and scored many goals in Paris B. What else ? I'm looking for a new pressing forward because Armand is retiring He is reconsidering it but i think he is gone.. And i'm talking with two or three young IDF's that are being released at ligue 1 teams. Edited June 19, 2020 by OlivierL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jogo Bonito Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 They seem to be good signings, Ben Arfa might be a bit hit and miss but the others are sensible and you will own them rather than loan so that's a positive.

No other options available so i have to sign this FM legend. he could be my best target man with 68 rating (Ayé has 67).

For more details about transfer, please check posts from this morning. => I think that Solet is replaced and we could have a real gem with Muamba. Next season i have to find a good goalkeeper . Jourdren isn't getting any younger. => Our WBR is improved with the transfer of Kwateng. Next season i have to search a Left wingback. => We have a really good playmaker after the transfer of Adli . And in the front we have signed Ayé , Ben Arfa and loaned FM legend Sanogo. Lets see what Fadiga can do , still only 20. Our positive personalities increased from 5 to 11 . Transfers in & out (date 6 jul 2021) New captain after the retirement of Demarconnay. Staff in & out Improved the staff with a lot of positive personalties.

Hootieleece Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Great Goalkeeper isn't a necessity if you have good CB's. Krapikas in my save is only rated 3 stars but he had 18 shutouts last season Only better Goalie in Ligue1 was Oblak and his numbers are skewed because he is on PSG! You just need 12 or better in most GK Atrributes with Reflexes, Positioning, Aerial being most important. Depending on how you distribute the ball will decide what other attributes you need.

Almost everybody was (match)fit till Sanago injured himself in one of the last trainings. Kanté missed the entire pre-season and is still out for a few weeks. Best players this pre-season. Best eleven with new players Moukoudi(normaly he'll play at the DCR spot , if Kanté is back. Kwateng(wbr), Yacine(MCL) and Ben Arfa (FCR) enters the team. Second team Expectations - Media pred !
