I currently lead by 5 points going into season 2, but it will be an extremely close one next year!

Tight so far as you both had solid seasons, still see my man Brenty bringing this home though! 

Squad building second year has proved tough so far, we decided no Bosmans too, loads of great players out of contract but cause their club haven't released them yet I can't pick them up! ? Thanks for the support though mate

Hi guys

Just a quick one, this is still continuing, we are both about midway through our seasons so hopefully can get an update out for you guys soon.

This picture basically describes my season so far....

Also just so everyone following knows, myself and @mcandrew003 had a talk the other day and decided to put a cap on the length of the first challenge, 5 years if no one wins all competitions we'll just tally up and announce the winner of stage 1 ??

Yep, as @Brenty92 said we have put a cap on things as it's unlikely we are going to win a champions league after the events of Update 1

@BatiGoal I believe it was me mate :laugh: Or, I'm just imagining it and secretly you all are rooting against me to see me fall face first in failure.... :laugh:

Hello everybody and welcome to my second installment of our H2H! Just as a brief reminder, after the first season I lead Brenty92 by 5 points after an extremely close season. Going into season 2, I looked to pick up a few players that would suit my system a bit better than before....

Transfers

So, we demoted/sold our Entire squad, as the rules say, and started building a new one. Straight away there were some quality players up for grabs, either on loan or on a permenant transfer.

IMG_6411.thumb.PNG.3b4700890745e1016bc33ff061682ba1.PNGIMG_6410.thumb.PNG.a1acccd6057c4737815188c9724ab31a.PNG

This is what our squad looks like at the end of the season. Notable purchases include Yaya Toure, Zlatan, Jonas, Dani Alves, Moutinho and Barzagli. All of the others are either decent first teamers or squad fillers. 

Competitions

Could we better our poor cup showings from the previous campaign?

FA Cup

Spoiler

IMG_6397.thumb.PNG.01fbcc8d13c13e121383ca24949ed77f.PNG

Our journey starts with a visit from Championship outfit Ipswich. A lot closer than I expected, but we get the job done.

IMG_6398.thumb.PNG.7fc45da196de62dffbc292bce6ea9a93.PNG

Next up, we host West Ham at the Saint Mary's. Another nervy win despite the dominant performance, super Zlat popping up with a cheeky pen. 

IMG_6399.thumb.PNG.165d5813dee42b570035b2ddd5c61b8b.PNG

The fifth round saw us travel across the country to The Hawthorns, where we secure a replay win over a stubborn West Brom side. Super Zlat strikes again.

IMG_6400.thumb.PNG.f07639968a946fb10895befb5dee5e0b.PNG

Next up, The Citizens hop on the coach to the South Coast for the sixth round, where a careful and reserved performance see's us snatch a cheeky 1-0 victory. Super Zlat back in for his 5th of the competition.

IMG_6401.thumb.PNG.2c360861cca21e92566a5a2a383a02a0.PNG

Ah. The Semi's see us travel to White Hart Lane to meet a defiant Spurs. Unfortunately, no shock this time as we crash to a 2-0 defeat. 

EFL Cup

Spoiler

IMG_6396.thumb.PNG.494579217c74d387c9f2ec4bd6840417.PNG

Our first tie sees us pitted against Championship side Huddersfield, where the Terriers bag a 1-0 victory against our complacent side. 

So overall, a decent cup performance. Better than last year, and helps get a few points on the board. 4, to be exact.

League Campaign

So, after an 8th place finish last year, we looked to build on a solid start and hopefully achieve European football. How did we do in that quest?

IMG_6409.thumb.PNG.e18317c4edcc5f8146f7f83d8d5ee055.PNG

Phew! We sneak in past Spurs in 7th to grab a Europa League spot. A poor GD again, but can't help that really. For majority of the season however, we where a top 5 club, so to drop out of those places was a tad annoying. A 6th place finish sees us add 15 points to our score, aswell a striker another 19 for our wins. This means we have gathered a total 38 points this season. 

Player Performance

Apperances

IMG_6412.thumb.PNG.2bd06cab61b539e8f1935af109d42f50.PNG

Our hero, Super Zlat graced the pitch the most times this year, followed closely by our Winger Sosa and keeper Caballero.

Goals

IMG_6413.thumb.PNG.9885f707aeac5ec4e611b9600f67f998.PNG

Bang! Now you know why he is referred to as Super Zlat, he bagged 3 more than our striker last year, aswell a striker 11 POM's! Jonas follows with 8, with several players bagging 3 and 2 this year.

Assists

IMG_6531.thumb.PNG.e43b3aad3c0627e0ab94ac123bfa6275.PNG

Dani Alves manages a respectable 9 from the right back spot this term, followed by our winger Sosa.

Average Rating

IMG_6532.thumb.PNG.bfb1cee95832fb6dc13ad68e51a83da3.PNG

Rincon takes this one. A player we had last year rejoins us on loan for the 17/18 season and performed admirably. The CDM's seem to perform really well in this formation.

Fixtures List

Below are the fixtures from this season....

Pick Of The Bunch

IMG_6522.thumb.PNG.99d33924d10b9316cd9a87cc37fd217d.PNG

A fantastic player with some very good stats. Very happy to get him in this year.

IMG_6533.thumb.PNG.f37335625aa49b66a48ab49b80e324ac.PNG

Come on, I couldn't not put him in, could I? Super Zlat was a revelation this year, shame to see him leave us!

Other

So, just to lay the scene, there are 2 games to go. We face Arsenal and Chelsea. First game versus Arsenal....

IMG_6402.thumb.PNG.e1f471604a6bc1b12646c0f99eba3361.PNG

Really! We hold on the entire match and then they score. Was really annoyed at this, until....

IMG_6403.thumb.PNG.d39a7d5270ab399b912ff2d138766fbe.PNG

OH COME ON! In the next game, we hold on AGAIN until the dying embers of the game, and then Cuadrado decides to score. Dammit!

Thanks for reading guys! I think Brenty92 has been busy, so his update might not be up for a few days. Until then, i'll bask in my points total and enjoy looking at my name on the trophy. Cheers!

Cheers mate, unfortunately that GD is still quite low. I think it's because I win games 1-0 but lose to say Arsenal 3-0, so it's quite annoying. Hopefully I can hold on, but we'll see. Cheers pal @BatiGoal

Sorry for the serious lack of updates, had a holiday to wales at an inconvenient time where FMM was concerned lol :laugh:

Season 2. 

Transfers.

So many loanees got sent back around January due to underperformance, hence the massive transfer section lol

The Final Squad/Tactic Change.

Spoiler

image.jpg.22e91ff21f734c95136ab6b77f6f324d.jpgimage.jpg.d0d4d4d84f5587e83c5e24312ec30bc7.jpg

Quite happy with the final squad which carried me from January to end of season!

Not quite sure what helped most, the new blood of loans acquired in Jan or the tactic change around the same time.

image.jpg.a2d950f7bfb7db9084dd7b4abfff17f7.jpgimage.jpg.9b1d665a03a5fcb9fac871565a67eb22.jpg

Haven't played much with 3 at the back this year but my wing backs disappointed me and i needed an extra man up top as my lone striker kept being left isolated, hence the change.

Prem.

Same finish as last year after being in 10th or 11th position at the end of January. 

EFL Cup.

An easy first cup tie in which our star striker of that moment romped to a hat trick in 7 minutes!

Damn you committed tackling!

FA Cup.

Another easy cup tie, this time we made much harder work of it not solidifying the lead!

Out of both cups early on thanks to Manchester! Being a Liverpool fan, this hurt :laugh:

Euro Cup.

They never stood a chance.

Same story.

2 losses at the hands of Porto!

image.jpg.6b2a003b0259e616a6615b5a26b89bf8.jpg

We had 55+ shots over the 2 legs and only scored 10?.. What is the world coming to?! :laugh:

image.jpg.48312d86bf851a1093760d5bddf59f17.jpg

Thank you away goals rule lol

image.jpg.a160c3736be410397da11b6f15a5777d.jpg

Great performance over 2 legs, shame about the 2 goals conceded but hey ho.

image.jpg.dfca9a6b6b22bb2708ffe1ded3966675.jpg

I was really impressed with the 5-1 in Ukraine!

image.jpg.5b8ede4a6478fa53bfedd4280f5c92d6.jpg

All that previous pain at the hands of the two Manchester clubs erased quick! First 3 minutes of extra time too :laugh:

Its so easy to see who to thank here, comes to something when my BPD is 5th on the assist chart, thank god for the madrid reject!

Avr Rating.

If only Isak was fit for more games!

@mcandrew003 I make that 38 wins, 15 points for league finish and an extra 10 for the euro cup win, 63 points buddy ;)

Star Performers.

Not bad for a 33yo CB, Most appearances this season too!

Stats have gone down due to being injured towards end of season, 17 dribbling and crossing at his peak, easy to see why he got tonnes of assists.

He had to get a mention considering we struggled for the first 6 months too lol

As always, thoughts and comments are much appreciated, sorry again for the big delay in updates!!

Let me get this straight, you won by a single point @Brenty92 ? Ouch!!! I bet you lost the final few games just to make @mcandrew003's loss that tad more painful. Man you're evil!

Am I 1 point ahead? Haven't added all the scores up myself lol

Oh I see now lol, my end of season form was blistering compared to the rest of the season, the fresh approach to my tactic certainly played a huge part!

Also me and @mcandrew003 have decided to run a little side challenge for the rest of this career, he came across @Ashez perspectives of play thread and was intrigued so we both plan to pump 1mil every season into a team of our choice for their worst player, and see how the AI controls their new found wealth! Of course said worst player will be demoted/released instantly so the rules of the challenge aren't affected
