FM2005: a frog in Europe

[FrogMan]

To all my regular readers, welcome back to yet another installment of the "frog in football" series! :)

To all of you first-time readers, welcome aboard, sit back, relax and starting living the frog's dream! :)



This is the continuity of the one and only FM2005 career I have played since receiving the game on November 15, 2004, a couple of weeks after it was released. It started unpatched and has now been patched twice. The football universe in this game is sort of small, including only England, from the North/South Conferences and up, but with players from Canada/USA/England included, so I could become the national manager of Canada, even though I didn't even try the first time the Canada job came available.

My career started in 2004-05 with Luton Town (see FM2005: a frog at Kenilworth Road (http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~fof/forums/showthread.php?t=33230)), where I first learned the ropes of managing a club in England. After starting in League One, we had a one season stint in the Championship before going back down and suffering of unrealistic expectations and eventually getting sacked.

I went on to get a second job, the time with the Queens Park Rangers (see FM2005: a frog at Loftus Road (http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~fof/forums/showthread.php?t=36109)). Getting there midseason, I was unable to keep them from demoting that season. Getting down to League One for one season might have been the best thing that ever happened to us, as we went on to crush our competition in my first full season at Loftus Road, promoting to the Championship after only one season. We kept on winning at the start of the following season, so much so that we ended up finishing in 3rd, promoting to the Premiership through the playoffs system.

This was last year, the first season in the Premiership for Q.P.R, and my first ever season as a manager in the Premiership (see FM2005: a frog in the Premiership (http://dynamic5.gamespy.com/~fof/forums/showthread.php?t=37720)). I was very nervous about it and had good reasons to be, as we started the season as heavy favourites for relegation. Surprisingly, we started winning games against middle of the road clubs, and drawing with bigger ones (Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal) early on in the season. We did so well that with 2 games left to the season, we were still in the fight to finish 6th in the Premiership. We ended up finishing 9th, not bad for a first season in the Big League! Sadly, 9th isn't good enough to compete in a European competition, so why are we here? Why is there "a frog in Europe"??? Because we went all the way in the FA Cup, winning the Final in penalty kicks over Manchester City, thus qualifying the club for the Euro Cup.

The date is May 29, 2011, two weeks removed from the big FA Cup win, and this is where the story picks up. This will be my second season, ever, in the Premiership, my first time playing in European competitions. If you've read the previous installments, you know that new players have been signed up. If you've never read any of my stories before, I'll at least post their player profiles, just so you're not left in the dark.

This is my 8th season as a manager and I've built my reputation up to a World Class level. Gotta say that as nervous as I was about my first season in the Premiership one year ago, I feel much better about the team this time around.

I'd like to think I've built a nice readership over the years (well gametime years anyway). I like reading people's comments, so if you got something to say, post away!

As I said, welcome aboard, I hope you'll enjoy the ride!

The Manchester United Team Board consider Vicente Del Bosque's position. Seems like their fourth place finish is causing some unrest for their supporters and they want a better season this year...

May 31, 2011
I get 19 emails regarding contracts of players/staff that are expiring within a month. I'm not gonna offer any new contract to anybody until I hear from the board about our new wage budget. It's not like any of the players with unprotected contracts are essential to the squad, and staff don't have unprotected contracts, so they're not going anywhere anyway...

Following how the FA Cup Final played out, I decide to retrain Ben Watson in a new position. He's currently strictly a M C, I decide to try him as a AM R, hoping he'll retain his M C position. He'd make a good double position backup to have on my bench and he's got skills good enough to be a nice winger, as well as a good midfielder. He is described as a cultured midfielder. I also know that the biggest part of his training won't happen this season, since we're about to go into resting mode, but still, he'll get his headstart for next season...

June 1st, 2011
The board is still delighted with my managerial performance. Always nice to hear :)

Arsène Wenger is selected as Manage of the Month. I know it's for his team's performance in league play, but still feels good that I beat him three times last season, even though it took everything we had to win the FA Cup, but a win is a win, and I'll take them all... :)

Useless trivia: I was the manager at Kenilworth Road for 1259 days. Today is day #1247 of my life at Loftus Road :)

We get the numbers for average attendances in the Premiership in 2010/11. We came in 19th out of 20 teams, with an average of 18548 spectators per match. Here are the figures for every team in the league:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/110601attendances.jpg
We are sort of limited by the size of our stadium currently, which is a 19148 all seater with under-soil heating. Looking at the team's finances, I see we have just about $29M in the bank account. Maybe it's time to ask the board to improve the stadium... Gonna think about it...

Seeing the attendance figure, I'm reminded of the graph that shows the team's position over the course of the season. Here's how last season went from beginning to end. Hard to think we started the season in 20th place. It really was "nowhere to go but up" :)

how do you get that graph?
when watching the league table, click on the position number for your team. unintuitive, I know, don't tell anybody else though, it's our little secret :D

The list of teams will be on the right of the graph. You can click one other team and its position changes will appear in green on the graph...

Man City approach one of my coaches, Michael Hayes, to become their Arsène Wenger's assistant. We'll be due $4000 if the deal goes ahead...

I go ahead and ask for a stadium expansion. Their answer is immediate: the board concur that Loftus Road needs to be improved if the club is to fulfil its full potential. They assure me that there are plans afoot to expand the stadiums. SWEEEEET!!! :)

June 3, 2011
Michael Hayes signs with Manchester City, as assistant manager. We're paid $4,000 in compensation.

Matt Cross and Andrew Johnson both played with the England U21 squad against Bosnia. Cross did the best of the two, notching a goal and and assist, playing the whole first half, while AJ had a so-so game, coming in in the 62nd minute.

June 4, 2011
Okay, I've seen enough of everyone, go home and rest!!!! We'll see ya in July!
(that was to the players, not you my readers :D)
Today was a day of Euro 2012 qualifiers. Igor Biscan had an assist for Croatia. Keith Keane had an ordinary game as an inner midfielder for Ireland. Youssouf Hersi started for Holland and played the first half as their left winger but he didn't have a very good game, rating only at 6.

June 7, 2011
Matt Cross and Andrew Johnson again both played for the England U21 squad. While Cross started as a right winger and had an okay match, before being substituted in the 62nd minute, it was AJ's turn to shine. He was selected as Man of the Match after getting a 10 for form. He scored a goal in that game, while also winning 10 of 15 headers, 4 of them key headers. He also completed 14 of 16 passes, 5 of them key passes. He's developing quite nicely and I don't regret offering him the new contract. Look at his player profile right now...

During a private meeting, midfielder Marc Bircham complains to me about his lack of first-team playing time. He even tells me he must be playing regular first-team football if he is to stay at Loftus Road. This saddens me very much because I like the Canadian, but I just can't promise a such thing as first-team playing time to Marc...

Lennart Rhee's season long loan comes to an end and he goes back to PSV. While he didn't have a bad stay with us, I doubt he'd be worth a big spending in transfer money...

Kidderminster want Justin Wall on loan for three months. I still don't understand why they' signa player for a three month loan starting in the middle of June, but they say they'd pay 100% of the player's wage. I accept the offer.

Some Euro 2012 qualifiers are played again today. Igor Biscan had an ordinary 73 minutes of play for Croatia. Jeppe Lund Curth came off the bench, scored a goal but then fractured his arm. He will miss one month. Youssouf Hersi come on in the 78th minute as a left winger for Holland and again was largely disappointing. Keith Keane had an assist as an inner midfielder in 72 minutes of play for Ireland.

June 10, 2011
Speaking of Keith Keane, Wolves offered him a contract today.

June 12, 2011
Justin Wall accept to go to Kidderminster on loan.

June 13, 2011
Keith Keane has agreed to terms with Wolves and will be joining them on July 1st. I would have really liked to keep him, but I know our wages will take a big jump when the new fellows will come to town on July 1st, and I don't want to put anymore stress than necessary before I really know what I'm getting from the Board in terms of wage budget.

We're coming to this time of the year, the time when your board unveils the new transfer budget, when they adjust the wage budget, but even more this time around, the Q.P.R. team board have unveiled their plans for expanding Loftus Road. They have announce plans to enlarge the stadium by 7002 seats, making it a 26150 all seater. It's expected that this expansion will take around 6 months to complet. However, the ground's capacity will be temporarily reduced as part of the north stand will be closed during the renovation. Looks like our capacity will be of 18000 seats during the renovation.

As I said, the team board also announced the transfer budget for the season. They indicate that my transfer budget for this year will be in the region of $3.2M. I will be allowed to raise additional transfer funds by the sale of current squad players, retaining 100% of any sales I make.

But HOLY SMOKES!!! They slashed my wage budget!!! :eek: While I was allowed to have a team with a total in wages of up to $480k only a few days ago, I'm now only allowed to have a total wage bill of $380k. That's a serious blow, especially since we're at $422k right now, with quite a few big ticket players coming in on July 1st. I'm baffled by this decision. I can only hope it's temporary, possibly given the reduced size of the stadium for the next 6 months. If so, one would hope they'll give me room when the stadium improvements become effective...

Youssouf Hersi is named Q.P.R.'s Player of the Year by the supporters, succeeding Marcus Kelly the player of the Year from last year, and Andrew Johnson, who was the player of the Year the season before that. His signing was really an early turning point in the season for us.

A new batch of young hopefuls gets promoted to our U18 squad. Not much of interest in there though. There is one promising goalkeeper, and he's 17yo...

We receive $24.5M in TV money for the upcoming season, boosting the bank account to $39.6M, despite signing a big $13.8M check for the stadium improvements... The ridiculous wage budget I'm offered makes even less sense... *sigh*...

The Community Shield draw happens and we'll play Liverpool at Wembley on August 7, one week before the start of the season. Anybody can explain to me what is exactly the Community Shield? Is it something between the FA Cup winner (us) and the EPL winner (Liverpool), or is there really a draw of some sort?

The Team Board tell me they are delighted with my performance as manager this season. They tell me that the team is expected to achieve a safe mid-table position within the Premier Division in the coming season. Oh, how far we've come from being known as relegation battlers!!!

The 7.85 form average show by Marcus Kelly over his 41 competitive appearances is a new Q.P.R. record. Nice!

Jon Short, a relatively unknown physio on our staff, retires at the age of 64. He says he had been considering retirement for some time and felt that the time was probably right to quit football altogether and spend more time pursuing other interests. Have a good retirement Jon!

Danny Shittu plays well for Nigeria in their Confederations Cup match. He created a goal and was rated at 8 for form...

I decide to offer Jeppe Lund Curth to the only two clubs recommended by Bruno Conti: Aston Villa and Everton. I'm asking $8M for the striker valued at $8.4M. Let's call this a fishing expedition.

Neither of the teams shows even the slightest interest...

June 25, 2011
Danny Shitu was in magnificent form for Nigeria, again in the Confederations Cup, impressing both pundits and managers for the entire match. He received a form rating of 8.

Community Shield is FA Cup Winner vs. EPL winner, yes. The only draw that could possibly be done with it is to decide which would be home and away, but I don't think there is a draw at all. Just something the game says.

So other than hopefully getting some good money for it, and maybe some pride, it's only like a glorified friendly then, right?

I don't know that you'll get any of the gate money, I've never bothered to look. It used to be called the Charity Shield, if that leads you to believe anything.

Your wage budget should increase sometime around the end of July/early August. I think the game is still a little buggy in how the board handles wage allowances.

In case the FA winner is also the winner of the EPL, then the second place team in the EPL plays.

July 1st, 2011
THE big day, yeah the board is still delighted with my performance as manager of the club, but more important, today is Christmas day!!! The new kids are coming to town!!!

First is César Augusto Fawcett, projected to be our new starting left fullback, a 26yo Colombian coming from Rangers in Scotland. Q.P.R.'s commercial is all excited to point out in his monthly financial update that the purchase of Fawcett is likely to cause a sharp increase in revenue from shirt sales. SWEEET!
I've included player profiles of all new signees (when they were still with their former club but it's good enough) to help you all see who we're talking about. Simply click the thumbnails to see the profiles...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/th_110105fawcett1.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/110105fawcett1.jpg)

Then came striker Quincy Owusu Abeyie, coming straight from Arsenal, where he was not getting much playing time. The kid arrives to Loftus Road with much fanfare, declaring to the fans that he will teach them "real football", going as far as to adding that his ability with a football will leave them drooling. GREAT STUFF! Speaking to journalists after his arrival to the clubhouse, the 25-year-old striker declared that if the fans had been getting bored at Loftus Road over the recent months, he was about to show them how football should be played. Woah, talk about some self confidence from a kid I'm not even sure to have on my starting eleven comes opening day...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/th_110116abeyie.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/110116abeyie.jpg)

I was kind of worried he'd rub on the fans the wrong way, but they ate it all up, they actually wanted more. One newspaper even went as far as saying that I'm currently enjoying the adulation of the fans after securing the signature of the former Arsenal striker and that fans are delighted that Abeyie will soon be strutting his stuff at Loftus Road and cannot wait to see the 25-year-old in action.

Then came a trio of players that didn't cause any big reactions among fans but about whom I'm really excited.

First of these three is 24yo clinical striker Ross McCormack, who, just like César Augusto Fawcett, comes to us from Rangers. He looks like he could step in as starting striker from day one and has been a major goal scorer for Rangers in the last few seasons.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/th_110226mccormack.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/110226mccormack.jpg)

The other two are mostly for depth. They are 33yo DMC Li Tie, coming from Everton, and 27yo centreback James Collins, coming to us from Nottm Forest.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/th_110224tie.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/110224tie.jpg)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/th_110309collins.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/110309collins.jpg)

Finally, last but definitely not least, there's 23yo Anthony Vanden Borre, coming to us from Belgium club Anderlecht. The kid looks amazing on paper and should, just like Fawcett and McCormack, step in the starting lineup from day one, either as right fullback, or at centreback.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/th_110406vandenborre.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/110406vandenborre.jpg)

The kid's reputation has grown since we've signed him, or maybe because we've signed him, who knows. He now has a continental reputation and Q.P.R.'s Commercial Director is again quick to report in his monthly financial update that the purchase of Vanden Borre is likely to cause a sharp increase in revenu from shirt sales. SWEEEEET!!! :D

Among other transfer news, Nigel Quashie leaves the club to go play for Hull and Keith Keane leaves to go play for Wolves.

A bunch of othe player contracts expire and some of them decide to leave the club. Among them, Chris Day, John Oster, Steve Brooker, and Lee Mansell.

Mathew Sadler's contract also expired, but he decided to remain at the club on a month-to-month full-time contract. When I go see how much he's asking to sign a firm contract, I see that the board is allowing me to offer him up to $67k per week, when it had dropped from $48k to $37k when the board had slashed my wage budget. Hrm... Could that mean? Is it possible? QUICK GO LOOK! AND YESSSSSSS!!!!! The wage budget has been increased!!! I'M NOW ALLOWED TOTAL WAGES UP TO $700K!!! WEEHEE!!!!

The very good news is that even with all the new signees, I'm only up to $580k in total wages. This means that I'll be able to sign some of the kids that have been begging for new contracts, most importantly, a dude like Marcus Kelly, and possibly Tom Howell...

I'm a bit unsure as to when we'll enter the Euro Cup. The 2dn Qual Rnd Leg 1 is on August 11, but I doubt we'll enter in that round, since all the fixtures seem to have been posted for that one :)

I guess we'll enter in the 1st rnd, which has Leag 1 on September 15, and Leg 2 on September 29.

I was wondering about these because I have not booked any friendlies (or preseason games), other than the Community Shield and accepting the friendly that Sheffield Utd offered me to play on their pitch.

I send the following friendly offers:
Luton Town at Kenilworth Road on July 9
Fulham at Loftus Road on July 14 (would give them $44k of possible $260k)
Ajax at Loftus Road on July 18 ($40k of $260k)

Fulham rejected our offer while Luton and Ajax accepted it.

Funny how a few signings can change the face of a team. Look at the most recent team report from my assistant Bruno Conti.

You can see he's adjusted his main recommendation. Even though he still believes we need to strengthen the squad, it's not to avoid relegation anymore, but to establish a safe mid-table position int eh English Premier Dvision. Also, look how many players with 5 stars we have in there now. On a walk down memory lane, click the following thumbnail of the team report that the same Bruno Conti was giving me a little less that a year ago, on July 9, 2010... :D

With some wage budget available, I talk a look around players on the roster. I see a few I will want to save money for. Tom Howell could now be very affordable and a good signing, in case anything happened to Fawcett.

I also could afford to offer a contract to Jeppe Lund Curth now, but his little prima donna act has cooled me off a bit on him. That and how much better Igor Nadal Lázaro has played compared to him last season, all combined with the arrival of a guy like Ross McCormack, well, it all leads to me to believe what Bruno Conti is telling me now. He's telling me that, while Curth is a member of the first team, we could easily replace him. Easily could have been a very strong word, but this season, I hinestly believe we got plenty of strikers who could play in Curth's place. I decide to transfer list him, asking $8M for the striker valued at $8.4M. We'll see...

Your wage budget should increase sometime around the end of July/early August. I think the game is still a little buggy in how the board handles wage allowances.
I was gonna say "shhhhh", but I knew I was gonna report on it soon enough :D

Yeah, makes little sense not to increase the budget when the money comes in. I mean, what made them decide I could spend more on July 1st? The quality of my signings? I'd like to think so :)

I make a few more friendly offers, all at Loftus Road:
Chelsea on July 24 (48k of 400k)
Liverpool on August 2 (70k of 440k)
Anderlecht on July 13 (44k of 260k)
Rangers on July 28 (40k of 240k)

Chelsea and Liverpool both rejected my offer while Anderlecht and Rangers accepted. I like playing the teams in which some of my new signees were playing just a few weeks ago, just like I love making a trip back to Kenilworth Road every offseason...

July 8, 2011
I offer to go play Chelsea on their pitch on July 24, and this time they accept. I wanted to have a chance to play against them before the start of the season...

July 9, 2011
César Augusto Fawcett is called up to the Colombia squad fo the Copa América 2011. While it's a nice competition and all, it'll be going on from July 13, when group play begins, to possibly July 30, when the final is played. This is gonna a lot of time away for him to settle down with his new club.

I offer a friendly to Aston Villa at Loftus Road on July 31, with a payment of $48k. They accept, making them the second EPL club we'll play in friendlies, not counting the Community Shield match against Liverpool, so three in all...

It is weird. I would think irl, that clubs would already have their budgets set by then, since they'd want to be prepared for the opening of the transfer window. I'd like the wage allowance, and expectations, to adjust as soon as your final position in the league is known.

I see you still ignore my excellent advice on getting a DMC with good heading. We need a tsk, tsk emote. ;) FWIW, here's a nice tool that allows you to see advanced statistics on each one of your players. It adds a panel display to the player's Personal Profile. I figured it might be up your alley.

Also FWIW, through that tool I discovered that my good heading DMC was averaging 5 headers a match, equal to my best defender, while good old Rochemback averaged <2. ;)

Exactly what I meant by "when the money comes in". I mean, once your finishing position is known, you know if you stay or not, about how much you'll get, and so on so forth. Had I known how much money I was gonna get, I probably would have offered a contract to Keith Keane to keep him for depth, maybe play Vanden Borre at centreback sometimes... oh well, another thing they could improve for FM2006 :)

I'm not so much ignoring it, as I'm going with needs. You have to agree that I had bigger needs elsewhere on the field. I went with what I thought would help the team. Granted, I went overboard with strikers, but that's just me, I like offense :)

Tell me though, how can you say how many headers Roch is averaging a game? Did you go and sign him?? If so, he's certainly not all that bad, huh? ;)

Friendly Match #1: we play Luton Town at Kenilworth Road. They're now a very average League Two team, so far removed from the team I left many moons ago...

And this game shows how far this team I used to call my own is from the team I now call my own. We crush them 6-0 on a goal from Ross McCormack (12'), and two goals from Igor Nadal Lázaro (35', 45') in the first half and two goals in the last 5 minutes of the game. These two goals were from Li Tie (85') and Andrew Johnson (88') who simply kicked it toward the goal from 35 yards out. The 6th goal was an own goal that one of their defenders scored while trying a wild clearance.

We outshot them 14(9) to 3(0) on the game...

Li Tie is named Man of the Match with a rating of 9. He completed 38 of 39 passes, 6 of them key passes.

Not one player played more than 45 minutes. 6 other players had ratings of 8. Anthony Vanden Borre got to the team in very bad shape and only played 30 minutes. Still, he completed all of his 33 passes, not bad!

July 12, 2011
Li Tie is called up to the Republic of China squad for the Asian Nations Cup. A bit like César Augusto Fawcett, he'll miss most of the preseason play since that cup runs from July 17 to a possible final on August 6.

July 13, 2011
Jeppe Lund Curth resumes full training following his broken arm suffered during his last international appearance.

I offer a contract to Tom Howell. He wants $31k per week with a signing fee of $650k, a minimum fee release clause at $15M and a yearly wage rise of 15%. Bruno Conti still believes he has a lot to learn and recommends a weekly wage of $23k. I offer him $24.5k and leave the rest unchanged.

We play Anderlecht at Loftus Road and it's another dandy.

The halftime score is 1-0 after Ross McCormack scored another goal, this time coming out of nowhere to pick up a headed center from Clemens Fritz and converting it in the go ahead goal in the 16th minute. At the half, we're outshooting them 9(6) to 1(0) and completely crushin them in possession with 67% split 6-27-34.

I don't know Anderlecht so much in terms of club strength compared to the rest of Europe, but they were ranked 91st in the latest rankings (to our 116th rank) so they should be at least decent, yet we're crushing them so far.

And we had a bit more in the second half, as Andrew Johnson scores one from close range with no angle int the 46th minute, and Quincy Owusu Abeyie closes the game with our third goal on a nod from Ben Watson. Final Score is 3-0 with us outshooting them 14(9) to 4(1).

Ben Watson is named Man of the Match with a rating of 8. Clemens Fritz also received a rating of 8.

Andrew Johnson suffered some bruised ribs in the game and will miss three days.

Following the game, I decide to send my scout Mel Johnson all over England to bring me names of players 20yo or younger. I will try to find a bargain youngster or two to sign with the transfer money we've been given, as $3.2M is probably not enough for me to make a real splash and bring in a guy that would make a difference.

I offer to loan Luca Maioli from Chelsea until the end of the season. We'd pay 20% of his $31k wage, or $6.2k per week. He is currently transfer listed and they're only asking $5.4M for the right winger valued at $12.5M. Granted, a lot of that high value is inflated by the fact that he plays for Chelsea, but still I liked what I saw from the kid during the time he spent with us and if I pull a sale or two, I might be tempted to bring him in to be the heir apparent to Clemens Fritz on the right wing...

Tom Howell puts pen to paper on a lucrative 3 year deal worth $3.6M. I like Tom and feel he gives us a solid backup at both the left winger and left full back positions.

July 17, 2011
Southend want goalkeeper Paul Davies on loan for three months. They'd pay 100% and he could be recalled. I accept their offer and if anything serious ever happens to Kasper Schmeichel, I'll recal Davies from his loan.

Everton are the only one to offer $400k for Darren Evans after I had proposed that deal to a number of team...

i picked up roche on a free transfer i believe...

it allowed me to sell jarosik for $7m.

also, how many striker/forwards would you keep on your team? your main formation is the 4-1-2-1-2 (or 4-0-3-1-2 or rarer yet 4-0-4-0-2) depending on health/mood. :)

after getting a 2 goal lead and in the 70th minute or later, i'll go to a 5-x-x-x-1 or 4-5-1ish type formation...

my team primarily plays in a rotation-system to avoid severe fatigue related issues and to keep people fresh.

[finketr]

regarding the loaned-out players...

i started doing that in the july 2k5 (second season) to set them to be recalled...

and a good thing as my left fullback got hurt for 4-6 months. i recalled the D/RLC back and he played exceedingly well for me... at 1/10th the value of bridge.

Friendly Match #3: we play Ajax at Loftus Road.

Right before the game, I decide to offer a contract to Mathew Sadler who is currently on a month-to-month contract with us. If I could get him to sign to an affordable contract, he'd make a reasonable backup to César Augusto Fawcett and Tom Howell at the left fullback position. He wants $20.5k per week with a $100k signing fee for a 3 year deal. I offer him what Bruno Conti recommends, which is $15.5k per week, but I make it only a one year deal with only $10k for signing fee.

Some players are already showing up as match fit, so I don't even start my whole A team, but they'll play later on in the game.

We only score once in the first half (Igor Nadal Lázaro, 3') but we're outshooting them 11(5) to 4(2). Even more impressive is how we're controlling the ball, keeping it for 64% of the first half, split 4-28-34...

We add 3 more goals in the second half, without allowing one, it really showed that we had some A teamers on the field in the second half... Jeppe Lund Curth (60'), Andrew Johnson (67'), and Youssouf Hersi all scored in that half.

The final score is 4-0 and we outshot them 20(13) to 5(3), wow!

Youssouf Hersi is named Man of the Match with a rating of 8. Five other players also got rated at 8.

July 19, 2011
Our loan bid for Luca Maioli is rejected. I try again, this time telling Chelsea we'll pay them a $20k fee to loan him. Doubt it'll make a difference, but worth a shot...

July 20, 2011
I go "WTF?!?" when I hear Darren Evans' request to be transfer listed. Dang, Everton has put in a bid, I accepted it, sign a dang contract!!! That was until I saw that he had rejected their contract offer, saying he felt it was unacceptable... I'm through with you kid, you are a dumbass and will stay on my reserve squad forever... Oh and I grant you your request, may a team rescue you from me...

Paul Davies accepts to go on loan at Southend.

Mathew Sadler rejects our first offer. I offer him $16k and a signing fee of $20k, still for a one year deal.

Friendly Match #4: we play Sheffield Utd on their pitch.

For the first time this offseason, I have Anthony Vanden Borre playing at centreback. I used to play him at right fullback.

The first half is a boring 0-0 contest, with us barely outshooting them 3(1) to 1(0).

It does pick up in the second half and Keigan Parker scores the only goal of the game on a penalty kick.

We win it 1-0, outshooting them 12(4) to 5(1) on the game.

It's not a win as impressive as the previous ones, but it's still a clean sheet nonetheless...

Andrew Johnson is named Man of the Match, the only player with a form rating of 8.

Mathew Sadler rejects our second offer and I break off talks.

July 23, 2011
Squad numbers are due today. As always, I like this time of year, and I can't wait to start seeing players on the field with their real numbers, not a sequentially assigned number as they appear during friendly matches...

Five of our matches in the first half of the season have been picked up for live television coverage:
August 20, vs Tottenham @Loftus Road
August 28, vs Fulham @Loftus Road
September 26, at Bolton
October 29, vs Arsenal @Loftus Road
December 4, vs Portsmouth @Loftus Road

Nice that four of the five are to be played at Loftus Road...

Friendly Match #5: We play Chelsea on their pitch. They show a 4-3-2-1 pyramid-like formation.

They're sitting Wayne Rooney out of this one and Ronaldinho is on international duty.

James Collins scores on a penalty in the 19th minute to give us a 1-0 lead. Don't know what Collins was doing there kicking a penalty, but hey what the heck. My set piece takers are not really set during preseason play...

OK, put in your tough scrubs, pick out a couple of their better players, and triple team them with tough man marking. Please? We injured Joe Cole in the 27th minute, that all right for ya? :D

They did score before the end of the half to tie it 1-1.

Tied 1-1 at the half, we were holding on kind of well. Possession about even, and shots at 3(2) for us, 4(1) for them.

Then it got bad, when I put in my bunch of B teamers and they didn't. See, this is a friendly, let's call it preparatory game. I have this thing that I don't leave anybody in there for more than 45 minutes in a friendly, except if the player really need match fitness and has missed the first few friendlies because of injury. So in came the scrubs...

They took advantage of Joe Marshall, my second keeper now, on a shot from 30 yards out in the 47th minute, then they scored again in the 80th minute. After that goal, Marshall is rated at 5...

We lose it 1-3 and get outshot 14(6) to 4(2). Compare these shots figures to the ones in the first half and you'll understand that it could have been a much different game with my starters in there for most of the second half. I'm satisfied with that result.

César Augusto Fawcett played well for Colombia, creating a goal in their win in penalty kicks over Argentina in the Copa América quarter-final. They are through to the semi final, in which they'll play Brazil.

I see that Lee Young-Pyo, a 34yo experienced left fullback that was just recently released by Manchester City, is getting offered a contract. Hrm, he could be wortha shot on a one year deal kind of thing... He wants $17.5k per week and $18k in signing fee for a one yeard deal. Conti recommends an offer of no more than $8.2k per week. I offer him $12.5k with what he wants for signing fee...

Luca Maioli joins Coventry for a 3 months loan. I've got him on my radar screen and will keep an eye on his whereabouts.

César Augusto Fawcett had an ordinary game for Colombia, but they beat Brazil, again in penalty kicks, in their semi final match of the Copa América. They're through to the Final!

also, how many striker/forwards would you keep on your team? your main formation is the 4-1-2-1-2 (or 4-0-3-1-2 or rarer yet 4-0-4-0-2) depending on health/mood. :)

after getting a 2 goal lead and in the 70th minute or later, i'll go to a 5-x-x-x-1 or 4-5-1ish type formation...

my team primarily plays in a rotation-system to avoid severe fatigue related issues and to keep people fresh.
It's hard for me to relate to the kind of schedule you face with Chelsea. Maybe someday we'll be in all sort of long Euro competitions, but the schedule we had last season, other than the crazy bit in late December/early January, was kind of easy on the squad. I know I like my strikers to be in as good a condition as they can, and they're the ones who often get the most tired in the course of a game, with my wingers. If that helps you, I'd say I'm pretty happy with having 6 starter quality strikers this season. If we don't any injuries, that will probably lead to players being unhappy, but I'll deal with it. If we only get one injury, they should pretty much all have a peak at playing with the first team at some point...

Also, if you got to a one striker formation late in games, then you may need one less on your squad, since it's probably better for you to keep either an extra defender or an extra midfielder... Funny, I never had the reflexe of going 5-4-1, maybe I'll try that when we're getting outgunned, but with the lead late in games...

I'm done reporting everything I had written down, this is where I'm at for real.

As I did in the other installments, I should have some sort of positional review of who is who on the squad, with some skill numbers. Don't know when those will be up, at some point before the start of the regular season I guess :)

Geesh.
I'm gone for a day and look what I miss. Great work as usual, FM. :) Looking forward to reading more!!!

/tk

[FrogMan]

do not, I repeat DO NOT miss a day, unless you have a spare day to catch up afterwards... :D

I'm joking btw :)

barely... ;)

FM

[finketr]

no kidding...

if i don't get a break aat work (looking around. nervously...) then i don't get a chance to see fofc on tuesday and wednesday and i usually spend about 4 hours on thursday getting caught up on everything with FM and ef27's dynasties and some general threads... Roommates, anyone? :)

[Desnudo]

That tool is mighty impressive, will certainly give it a try tonight. Tell me though, how can you say how many headers Roch is averaging a game? Did you go and sign him?? If so, he's certainly not all that bad, huh? ;)

FM

I had no choice, he was the only guy under the age of 35 who would sign with my team. :)

The thing with headers on the DMC is that you don't notice how valuable it is until you see it in action.

Cool! Another question: did you find him on your own, or did you see him in here and went to sign him? Me, I find pretty much all of my players myself. As I said before I don't like going to FM forums place with all sorts of players, I think it's just not realistic. If you signed him after reading about him in here, I think I should be entitled to some sort of scouting fee. Same applies to Tim btw :D

I'll see it for myself one day, or I'll try paying attention when I put Biscan (a natural centreback) in the DMC spot... :)

I'd found him in a previous game. The universe of players that fit into my desired system is pretty small, so I tend to remember everyone. Despite there being however many tens of thousands of players in the game, I think there's probably 10-20 "ideals" at each position.

Lee Young-Pyo agrees to terms on a one year deal to com play at Q.P.R. We'll have to wait for a decision on a work permit for him. A decision should be made on August 11.

I receive a notice reminding of players with contracts expiring in the next 12 months. Quite a few big names for us in this list, with a comment as to what I expect to do...

Friendly match #6: we play Rangers in our annual England vs Scotland Rangers match :)

Prior to the game, I set everybody's training to their respective positional training.

Rangers show a 4-3-3 formation for the start of this game.

Marcus Kelly is pulled in the 16th minute after suffering a minor injury after a challenge from an opponent.

Even though we're absolutely dominating play, it takes us 42 minutes to score one, when Ross McCormack scores a lovely goal, heading in a looooooong pass from Danny Shittu.

The half ends with us ahead 1-0 and we're outshooting them 8(2) to nothing, NOTHING!

We keep our on field dominance in the second half, scoring to more goal. First in the 77th minute, when Andrew Johnson scores off the rebound of a shot from Igor Nadal Lázaro, then in the 82nd minute, when David Marek Rozehnal jumps over a crowd to head in a corner kick from Ben Watson.

The game ends in a 3-0 win for us, but it goes beyond the score. We outshot them 22(9) to nothing, NOTHING!!! We had 65% possession on the game, split 8-24-33, but even more impressive, we had 70% in the second half, with mostly our B teamers in there. The split in that second half was 5-26-39... wow.

Clemens Fritz is named Man of the Match with a rating of 8. He had 10 runs past opponents in only 45 minutes of play. Ross McCormack, Ben Watson (who's playing pretty well this preseason) and Andrew Johnson all got ratings of 8.

Turns out Marcus Kelly suffered a bruised shin. He will miss 5 days, so should miss our next friendly on the 31st, but should be ready for the Community Shield game against Liverpool.

July 30, 2011
César Augusto Fawcett played a good but not great match for Colombia, eventually pulled out in the 62nd minute, but the most important is that Colombia won the Copa América final 1-0 over Paraguay. WOOT! I league having winners on my squad :)

Li Tie played well (8) and scored a goal for China as they lost in penalty kicks to Iraq in the quarter final of the Asian Nations Cup. Hrm, kind of odd, but I never associated Iraq with Asia... I guess that's where they fit, it just never connected in my mind...

Kasper Schmeichel had a good season for us last year. He's not a world class keeper, but he kept us in games more often than he let us down and he's still kind of young for a keeper. With the state of our transfer budget right now, we can't afford a world class, difference maker keeper. If a sale or two happens, or if our chairman calls for even more high-profile, I might start looking for a killer keeper... Paul Davies just left us for a three month loan leaving the backup spot to Joe Marshall who was one a promising keeper, but is now simply a keeper. Wayne Alexander is said to have a bright future, but it remains to be seen if he'll ever pan out...

Danny Shittu remains the rock in the middle of our defense. He just turned 30 though and will probably have to be replaced at some point, but for now, he still has his starting spot as long as he's not injured. Coming back for a second season are the two old boys acquired a season ago, David Marek Rozehnal and Igor Biscan. They both played well last season but will probably lose some playing time to newly acquired James Collins. I like Collins and feel he was underperforming at Nottm Forest and hope he can step up his play with us, as he has about all the skills you want in a good centreback. Rounding up the group is another new acquisition in Anthony Vanden Borre, who slated more to be our starting right fullback, but could be moved to center if need be. Darren Evans and Matthew Bates, who both used to be regular members of our starting lineup only two seasons ago, will only be used in case of a severe rash of injuries...

Kasper Schmeichel had a good season for us last year. He's not a world class keeper...
Actually with the number of 15's I see floating around his chart, I'd call him titanic at least (that's 2 full levels above world class). :D

César Augusto Fawcett has yet to play one game with us, but he's already tagged as the starting left fullback, no messing with that. Tom Howell, who did pretty well in that spot all last season, will back him up. Anthony Vanden Borre, another newcomer, is slated to start in the right fullback spot, giving us to strong defenders on the sides. Keith Keane manned the right side for us last season, but he has left for Wolves when I failed to make him an offer in the last week of offseason. Looking at Craig Crane though, I'm questioning the move of even signing Keith Keane a season ago. I mean, the kid has about everything you'd ask for in a fullback. I'll make sure to give him more playing time this season. Three deep on the depth chart, you have Lee Young-Pyo (or Young-Pyo Lee) who's waiting to hear about his work permit and he'd backup Howell and Fawcett, and John Davies, who's impatient to play full time, but at 19 still has a lot to learn before being a regular first-teamer. Mathew Sadler is on a month-to-month contract and refused to sign any discounted contract. He'll be let go if Young-Pyo's work permit is granted.

Actually with the number of 15's I see floating around his chart, I'd call him titanic at least (that's 2 full levels above world class). :D

LOL! :D

Youssouf Hersi and Fábio Rochemback are back as the anchors of our 4-1-2-1-2 formation, playing both "1" spots. Ben Watson has been playing really well this preseason and is getting restless of not getting enough playing time. We'll see how the schedule shakes out, but I may alternate between him and Hersi at the AMC position when we'll have midweek games. Li Tie was signed with the implied designation of backup to Rochemback. Hopefully, he won't get pissed off at the lack of playing time if (hopefully) Rochemback stays healthy, since he was a starter with Everton most of last season. Next, I like Chris Chapman a lot, mostly because he seems to play just as well in the middle as in the left wing spot, making him a perfect backup for Marcus Kelly, our starting left winger. Signed a couple seasons ago from Luton for a mere $12k, he's developped very well and hopefully could keep on learning while ovvasionally playing some with the first team... Anthony Vanden Borre's name seems to appear just about anywhere on our side of the centerline, and he is indeed multitalented. I wouldn't hesitate to use him in the DMC spot if we needed him too, either as a starter or in game... I've use Igor Biscan in the DMC spot a few times in the past and he's down quite well, he's now kinda low on the depth chart though. Marc Bircham has really slipped down the depth chart, but I think I could trust him to take a spot on the field if we ever found ourselves in a bind. Finally, we have a few players who could play the AMC spot, or any midfield spot, in Matt Cross, Scott Donnelly, and Nathan Jameson.

While the left wing was well covered by Marcus Kelly a year ago, we improved the right side immensely with the signing of Clemens Fritz in the second transfer window. Hopefully his 30yo legs will carry him a little longer, so we can get a couple more seasons out of him. Tom Howell is backing up Kelly on the left, while I'm not even sure that our usual right winger backup, Matt Cross, would instantly get the starting spot should something happen to Clemens Fritz. I'd be more tempted to play Anthony Vanden Borre in that spot, to be honest. Cross' development has kind of stopped, which is sad. He looked so promising early on in his career, but seems destined to be a good, but not great winger. At the level we're now up to, it's not gonna cut it anymore. I have listed Ben Watson in there since he's currently being retrained to add an "AM R" position to his possible positions. I'll let you know how this works out, but I think he's got some descent skills that could at least make him a good backup winger, as he demonstrated in the FA Cup Final, when he came to replace Clemens Fritz in the second half and was rated at 7. Chris Chapman, as mentioned in the inner midfielders report, is a choice backup to keep on the bench, because he can act as much as a middie, as a winger backup. We'll see how he fits with us this season. Peter Carter was the one graduate from our youth program of a year ago that I decided to keep. We'll see how he develops this season...

Newcomer Ross McCormack steps right in as one of the two starting striker spot, taking the automatic starter spot away from Jeppe Lund Curth. Then it's unclear who will step up to play next to him. My guess is it will be a rotation of many things. We do have some pretty good depth at the striker position, at least I think so. I loved how Igor Nadal Lázaro played for us last season and hopefully, he's got some more growing up to do, which could make him an even better striker. Jeppe Lund Curth, who used to be my automatic #1, has turned his back on us. He still has one year left on his contract, but it's clear he wants to jump ship. Maybe I could try renegotiating him, but I feel like we don't really need to, as we got some very decent options to take over his spot and if there are any takers for him on the transfer market, I'll be more than happy to listen to them. Andrew "AJ" Johnson is slowly developping and is showing signs that he could eventually be an all star for us. I'm happy to let him learn a bit more, but he's looking to become a good all around striker. Quincy Owusu Abeyie was a nice signing this offseason. He's got what you want where you want it for a striker, other than the fact that my 15 months old can jump higher than him, but I'm okay with that. In fact, he reminds me a lot of Jeppe Lund Curth, but with a little less creativity and better heading skill. Keigan Parker is the old man in this relatively young group and he could be on his way out. He didn't show as good a spark last season as he did the year before that, in the Championship, when he kept scoring goals at will. He's also not up to the skill level of the other five. His contract is also ending and I may move him before Christmas comes to town. Matt Cross is our deep backup and we had to use him at the striker position last year. He usually does not so bad in that spot when asked to play striker. Justin Wall is an enigma. He started developing well when an injury hit him and he sort of stopped. Currently on loan, he even asked me to transfer list him, while he was injured. We'll have to see what happens with him...

That about does it with the team overview segments. As usual, if you have comments about the team, let them fly. I'm looking forward to this new season and don't see why we shouldn't have a season at least as good as our first season in the Premiership, even though it'll be hard to do better than to win the FA Cup... I mean, the squad has been improved in a quite a few spots, and we now should be out of the startstruck situation that hit us a few times last season when we played big games on tV more often than we've ever been used to before.

This season brings a new twist too, with a presence from the Rs in the Euro Cup, which will bring us to play outside of England a little. :)

As I said, if you have comments, players you like, players you hate (for whatever reason :)), spots you think could use some improvement, etc, feel free to post them. I like reading outside views about the team :)

Just to keep my mind straight, all this reporting (on positions) is as of early August, 2011, yes?

It's really neat to look back and see how the team has developed from when you took the reigns with the Rs.

I'd plug Lazaro in opposite McCormack, but that's just me :D

And get rid of Curth for as much money as you can squeeze out of some other team for him ;)

It's as of July 31, where I'm at in the game, just prior to our last official preseason friendly against Aston Villa. After that, we'll have the Commuity shield match at Wembley against Liverpool, then the season will kick off in the second weekend of August.

Yeah, it is indeed very neat to look at how far this team has come, especially in the striker department. My first season at Loftus Road, I signed Steve Brooker and Andrew Johnson as my two new strikers and Matt Cross was my third. They had absolutely nothing up top, and I mean NOTHING! AJ stepped right in to become a starter that season. Since then, we've brought so many new, good strikers that I can let him learn at his pace and not push him and we don't suffer of his down games and all that...

I've played Lázaro and McCormack side by side most friendlies so far this preseason. McC is creative enough that he can feed Lázaro pretty well, while also being a very good finisher. He is a clinical striker after all :)

As for Curth, yeah, that's how I see it too. We got plenty of depth and were able to play without him last season, and that was before we brough McC and Abeyie along... Don't know how much I'll be able to get for him though...

Friendly Match #7: we play Aston Villa at Loftus Road. It should be a good test to get ready for the new season, as they finished 6th last season.

Just for fun, I decide to give the start to Peter Carter on the left wing. He will be replaced by Chris Chapman after 45 minutes.

Clemens Fritz scores the 1-0 goal in the 21st minute, when he picks up a shot from Anthony Vanden Borre that had been deflected. Nice to see VB coming in support of the offense like that.

Fritz is again part of our 2-0 goal, when he centers a nice ball that Quincy Owusu Abeyie knocks in without effort.

The half, and the game end 2-0. We outshot them 5(4) to 2(1) at the half, and 10(5) to 4(2) on the game.

Clemens Fritz is named man of the match with a rating of 8. Joe Marshall has a strong second half, also rating at 8. Peter Carter didn't do too bad, rating at 7.

If the preseason is any indication of what could happen this season, we'll be a tough team to beat at home. Kind of funny but I feel like the noise is louder in our home games this season than it was a season ago. Maybe the fans are already celebrating the new stadium, even though it won't be ready for a few months still :)

The Team Board is delighted about my work as manager. I know this may sound repetitive, but not many of my bosses have told me they were "delighted" about my work in real life. Sure, they'd say "good work", "good job", "well done", but never did they say they were "delighted" :D Maybe this game is a little therapeutic :)

But you know what's even sweeter than hearing them say they're delighted about my work? It's my chairman coming to me and telling me that, as a results of an improvement in the club's finances, they are in a position to give me a transfer budget of $21M. WOOHOO!!! SHOPPING TIME!!! :D

Okay, now what to shop for? A goalkeeper? A centreback? A younger Clemens Fritz? Thing is, the wage budget has not budged from $700k and we're currently at $601k of total wages.

A goalkeeper is pretty high on my priority list, I must say...

August 2, 2011
With most teams having played nearly all their friendlies, Totalbet.com have com out and announced their odds for the English Premier Division. Liverpool and Arsenal have been made 7-4 joint favourites to win the English Premier Division title this season.

The rest of the main contenders are: Man Utd (2-1), Chelsea (2-1), Aston Villa (33-1), and Man City (33-1).

From their analysis, with my team being priced at 100-1, it is apparent that the bookmakers don't believe we have any real chance of winning the title. A high mid-table finish is probably the best we can hope for.

You know what, from being price at 2000-1 a year ago, to 100-1 this year, I'd say we've taken huge leaps forward. :)

August 4, 2011
Stockport offer $10k now, $70k over the next 24 months and 50% of the next sale for left winger Peter Till. That's what I was asking of him when I offered him to them. I accept.

I also offered Jeppe Lund Curth to a slew of teams, asking $6M for the striker valued at $8.6M. Nobody bites. Some teams say they don't think they could attract a player of that quality to their club, some others say they don't think he has the qualities to play with them. Ipswich say they would possibly consider making a bid if the asking price were lower. I reoffer him to Ipswich only, asking $5M.

August 7, 2011
Bah, Ipswich decided against putting in a bid for Curth, saying they feel the player is out of their financial reach and that they will concentrate on more affordable targets.

FREAKING IDIOT!!! Peter Till snubs Stockport, saying he is not preparing to play in a lower division. DUMBASS, YOU ARE NOT PLAYING FOR US ANYWAY!!! oh well...

I don't have any averaged out number for a player at one position, sorry. I have a set of 4-5 skills I look for in most position. All other skills are kind of blacked out by my brain when I look at comparing two players on a high level. Then I add more skills. For example, I like my centrebacks to have high heading, positioning, marking, tackling, aggresiveness. Then, there are some bonus skills, like passing, bravery, strength. I go like that from position to position...

What I tried doing with my positional reports is present the skills that are the most useful for a player in that given position. Then, it's a matter of finding who plays better ingame. There are some hidden ratings that will alter how a player performs during games.

Community Shield: we play Liverpool at Wembley Stadium.

It's a special kind of game, where you're allowed 7 subs, of which you can use 5. I'm putting in what I see is as close to an "A" team lineup as could be. Four players are set for their Rangers debut: Anthony Vanden Borre, César Augusto Fawcett, James Collins, and Ross McCormack.

Many others will be moved to the reserves following this game, as it's our last preseason match before the beginning of the real thing.

Liverpool show that dang 4-2-3-1 formation, but worst news of all is that Rob Styles is the referee. Quick, easy tackling everyone!!!

This match is shown on TV and key men are presented as Youssouf Hersi for us, and Benedict Vilakazi for them.

TEAMtalk.com's prediction for the game: I can't look beyond Liverpool for this game. They're a good side and I believe they've got what it takes to see off Q.P.R. today.

And oh boy does it start badly. Only 14 seconds had passed and we were down 0-1 after the ball had been flipped a few times after they kicked it off and they got through in the middle. Everybody's form is down on our side, all at 5.

They hit a perfect free kick, over our wall, from just outside our penalty area, to make it 0-2 after 20. At that point, shots are fairly close at 5(1) for us, 5(4) for them. We're even winning possession with 55%, split 13-20-22. We're not really playing bad football, but they made the best of their chances.

James Collins get beat in the middle in the 30th minute, and that leads to a 3rd goal for them.

Bad news in the 39th minute, when Danny Shittu has to leave the field, injured. DAMN! James Collins, Kasper Schmeichel, and Fábio Rochemback are all rated at 5 at this point. Schmeichel even has a minor injury, hopefully it's not too bad.

The half ends with us down 0-3. Shots are 8(1) for us to 6(5) for them and we're still winning possession, this time with 62%, split 9-28-25.

Fábio Rochemback is pulled and Li Tie is put in.

Sign that nothing's going for us. We get a perfect corner kick to the center of their area, where Andrew Johnson kicks it with fury... straight on the crossbar!!!

They end the game with 11 players in their penalty area for the last 4-5 minutes of the game, bleh.

Final Score: 0-3

We outshot them 15(5) to 10(8). We simply had no luck in that game. I mean, we won possession with 64% on the game, split 6-29-29.

Their keeper is named Man of the Match.

My physio has bad news for me when I walk in the clubhouse. Turns out Danny Shittu has suffered some strained ankle ligaments and he will miss three weeks. DAMN! With the way James Collins played today, this is not good news at all...

A journalist from The Guardian approaches me. He wants to know if I feel that we have sufficient back-up to cover for Danny's injury. Last time he got hurt, I said it was a blow but I felt we had adequate cover and it hurt Shittu's feelings. This time, I take the positive route and answer that I think we've got adequate cover for Danny, so it won't trouble us too much (even though I don't believe it one bit).

Right following my comment, I see that Shittu is determined to prove me wrong following my recent comment regarding his absence because of injury... Hrm, looks like he's not happy either way...

okay, this is getting weird. My assistant Bruno Conti reports to me that he has noted that Danny Shittu has been in buoyant mood over the past day or so. After consulting several members of the team, Conti has discovered that the central defender was delighted with the comments I made about him to the media recently. (hrm, wonder if the game's got the player's reaction mixed up...)

Following that reaction, I remembered that I had not asked for a thorough physio report on Shittu. GRRR, all my physios recommend that we send him see a specialist. I do so, and I finally get some good news. The specialist tells me he should be back in 2 weeks, not the originally diagnosed 3 weeks. I breathe a long sigh, one week is one week...

I put in a bid for Ajax's starting keeper. His name is Igor Akinfeev and he's a 25yo Russian with continental reputation and 24 caps for the Russian national team. He had a down game when we played them in our most recent friendly, but we peppered him with shots in that one. His skills include 15+ in all goalkeeping skills, except a low eccentricity and 14 in aerial ability, 13 in tendency to punch, and 10 in throwing... He is currently valued at $8.2M and I offer Ajax $10M for him.

Later on in that day, AFC Ajax boss, Ronal Koeman, issues a hands off warning regarding Akinfeev. Funny enough, it's not about us, but about rumours that linke his goalkeeper to a possible move to Deportivo. Speaking to journalists, Koeman angrily stated that he would not allow the 25yo player to leave as e was an important asset to the club. I'll wait for his reply on my offer...

August 9, 2011
And the reply comes the next morning. Offer rejected. I offer them $15M.

Another player who's pretty tempting is Freddy Guarin, who's now valued at $13M. I didn't like how badly Fábio Rochemback played in the Community Shield match. I don't put in a bid yet.

Another keeper is Francisco Guillermo Ochoa, a 26yo Mexican, currently playing at AT. Madrid. He has 48 caps with the Mexican national team and shows a great group of skills. Valued at $9.6M, I offer them $11M.

Interesting, Ajax is willing to negotiate over Igor Akinfeev. They want $11.5M up front and $8.6M over the next 6 months. Dang, that's a lot of money! I counter with $8M now and another $8M over six months for a total of $16M.

August 10, 2011
I keep on looking at possible players to bring to the team. I find a strange animal in South African Dave Seckington, currently playing for Monaco. He's a 24yo D/S C with world class heading, marking and positioning and great passing and tackling. He's valued at $10M, but I won't make an offer just now.

My scouts get back to me on Akinfeev. They say he would instantly command a place on our first team, but they don't see him getting a work permit in the foreseeable future. Grrr!

Speaking of Akinfeev, he's quoted in the media as being very flattered to be linked in the press with a club like Deportivo. The player's statement, which was featured in an article on Sportdreams.nl, seems to confirm that the 25year old is ready to consider any offer that might be forthcoming. Hrm, "any offer"... interesting...

Keigan Parker has damaged a cartilage in his knee and will miss one month. Even worse, my physios tell me he should have surgery to get that in check. I send him to the OR and ouch, he will miss 4 months. There goes my chance of getting any money out of him before his contract is over... This is a "bleh" news, but one that don't worry me as much this season as it would have at the same time last season...

Lee Young-Pyo's work permit is turned down. I appeal. We should have a decision on August 25.

Ajax willing to negotiate on my latest offer for Akinfeev. They now want $9.2M up front and another $8.4M over the following six months for a total of $17.6M. This is getting closer to what I was offering. I try something. I offer $10M now and Jeppe Lund Curth as part exchange. The offer is calculated with a total value of $16M...

Betis offer $14,952,000 for Akinfeev. Dang, we're offering more!!!

August 12, 2011
I get the news that Jefferson, you know that brazilian keeper, has rejected the latest offer from Cruzeiro. He could be one that'd be good for us...

Our latest funky bid for Akinfeev has been rejected, back to square one. I offer them $16M again. Anybody thinks it's not even worth to try, given that it could be a fight to get him a work permit? I mean, what happens if I have to wait for the FA to give him a work permit, and they finally deliver one, but after an appeal, at some point in September, so after the deadline?

I'd say if you have a better shot at getting some of the other keepers to come play with you and pass through any work permit issues with no trouble to go after them.

A solid goalie in the net is worth two world class keepers in bureaucratic limbo :D

That last quote is not a bad way to see it, although I still have Kasper Schmeichel who got us through our first EPL season, so even if a new keeper signed but got his work permit after the deadline, he still would come to the the team in January, right?

The FA always makes decisions BEFORE the deadline (even if you do it in the last two weeks, or in one case, the final day), so you can get the transfer DONE before the deadline.

oh great to know. Even if we agree on a transfer/contract on the day of the deadline?

League Match #1: we play Birmingham on their pitch. They finished 14th last season. We beat them 2-1 in the first game, and drew 0-0 in the second one. They're evens favourites to win this game.

Looking at them, I see they've not brought one transfer in, wow.

They show a 4-4-2 formation with long arrows to start the match. and going into the game, I go awww shit again: Rob Styles is our ref again... *long sigh*

That one doesn't start much better than the Liverpool one, as we go down 0-1 in the 6th minute. The middle of our defense is still way too porous. We let them manoeuver at will, which leads to a man all alone right smack in the middle of our penalty area...

I won't write here what I wrote on my notepad to describe how James Collins played the next couple of minutes. Let's leave it at this: after 8 minutes, we were down 0-2 and James Collins was sitting on the bench, replaced by David Marek Rozehnal.

In the 33rd minute, Fábio Rochemback gets called for a foul. You know there's always a chance of a yellow, and yep, here it is. Now, if you've read a bit of our first season in the Premiership, you know that Roch can have a bit of a hot temper at times, no matter who is the ref. Huhoh, "Rochemback is furious at the referee"... and yep, Styles give shim his second yellow, sending him off... Down 0-2, having a heck of a hard time, we'll have to finish the game one man short. You can bet that Rochemback will be facing a fine after the game, idiot.

They add to their lead in the 35th minute, on a crazy long counter attack that left a man alone behind our defensive line... *sigh*

The half ends with us down 0-3 and they're outshooting us 12(7) to 3(1)...

Then, all hell broke loose. First in the 66th minute, Ross McCormack received a pass straight from Kasper Schmeichel, which pass he took all the way down to their penalty area before smacking it behind their keeper, giving us a way back into the game (at least that's what the comment said)

Only a minute later, we start moving the ball so well through the middle, you'd believe we have 12 on the field and they have like only 8 players. Youssouf Hersi sees Igor Nadal Lázaro's run into space and he sends the pass, which Lázaro picks up just behind the last defender. Alone with the keeper, he makes it 2-3. WOW!

And then again, in the 70th minute, only 4 minutes after our first goal, Ross McCormack lines up to play a free kick from just inside their half. He plays the ball forward to Igor Biscan, who's standing on the edge of their penalty area. Biscan puts some juice on his kick, but it is deflected. How I love seeing my opponent's keeper jump to one side and the ball go in on the other side. WE TIED IT 3-3!!!

With 20 minutes, it becomes a matter of preserving that draw I didn't think we deserved, and we save it!!!

Final Score: 3-3

Wow, simply wow! They outshot us 15(8) to 10(5) on the game, but we outshot them 7(4) to 3(1) on the second half, with one man short for the whole 45 minutes!!!

David Marek Rozehnal, who came in the game as a replacement for James Collins, is named Man of the Match with a rating of 9. He won 13 of 14 headers, 5 of them key headers. The man has just won a position as automatic starters until he really screws up... :)

Kasper Schmeichel, Igor Biscan and Ross McCormack all got rated at 8 too. On the other hand, Fábio Rochemback received a 4 and James Collins received a 5.

We end the game with yellow cards to Biscan, Hersi, Lázaro, and Watson, and a double yellow (sending off) to Rochemback. I hate Rob Styles, with a passion...

Fábio Rochemback is banned for one match for having been sent off. I fine him one week because of that. I can live with being sent for two ingame infractions, but I have a problem with guys costing the team a chance at winning because they got mad at a ref...

Our bid for Francisco Guillermo Ochoa has been rejected. I don't put in a new bid as I'm a bit unsure now. Read on for my thoughts on this...

This is where I'm at in the game, no unreported stuff left and $21M of transfer budget given to me. Granted, to some of you, this is nothing, but to me, it's the most I've ever had to play with. It's August 14, about 2 weeks from the deadline. As I just said, I'm unsure as to where I should upgrade the team next. I'm thinking that Kasper Schmeichel isn't the only reason we're letting in so many goals. I mean, many of the goals are coming from our opponents being allowed to run free in the middle of the field, and then coming in either two aginst one, or one-on-one against our keeper. Not much he can do in many of these situations...

Right now, I'm leaning toward a couple of things. One is finding a great centreback. I'm seeing why James Collins looked like he was underperforming at Nottm Forest. He seems to be trying too hard, which could be altered in my tactics, as I have my centrebacks usually set to "hard tackling" and he may need time to settle in. The other thing I'm tempted to do is signing over my house, the mortgage and everything and go get Freddy Guarin to take over for Fábio Rochemback. Roch has now pulled two shitty games in a row and, even though I don't always pay all that much attention to it, is now rated as a 3 stars player on my assistant's team report, whereas he has alwasy been rated as a 5 stars. Maybe Bruno Conti is trying to tell me something. Anyway, having Guarin and Rochemback as his backup would certainly be a big plus...

I also revisited the possibility of signing Luca Maioli as my right winger of the future, but Chelsea who were asking $5.4M for Maioli before he went on loan, are now asking the full $12M now that he's on loan at Coventry. That price will go down as the loan nears completion, so I could look into that later on.

One thing is kinda clear to me, we don't really need any more firepower up front or on the wings. I think that our ability to score 3 goals in less than 5 minutes against Birmingham, and the preseason friendlies in which we scored many times 3 or 4 goals have proved that we can creat offense...

Another thing I could do is simply not make a move this transfer window. Keep the money and make a rampage in January...

Anyway, I rambled on, sort of thought out loud. Now, I'm not gonna play until sometimes this evening, so anybody got some grand general idea as to where to upgrade the team? Remember, I don't want player names, simply where on the field you think I should put my money, or should I simply keep it to spend later... Watcha think?

Looking forward to reading your ideas.

Our latest funky bid for [b]Akinfeev has been rejected, back to square one. I offer them $16M again. Anybody thinks it's not even worth to try, given that it could be a fight to get him a work permit? I mean, what happens if I have to wait for the FA to give him a work permit, and they finally deliver one, but after an appeal, at some point in September, so after the deadline?

FM

Don't listen to the scouts. And the appeal will normally beat the deadline, as long as there's a few days cushion.

okay, and with what little you know about my team and what little I gave you about Akinfeev, you think I should go ahead and break the bank for that one player?

I'm a bit wary of putting so much money on one player to be honest...

I prefer to spend a lot of money on one or two exceptional players, rather than small sums on good players.

[Desnudo]

Looking at your roster, my priorities would be: pacy and creative left winger, gk, dmc. Vanden Borre isn't half bad as a DMC either.

makes sense, I probably should rephrase: "I'm bit wary of putting so much money on one player, given I'm not always confident on my ability to judge the ability of said player" :)

I often tend to doubt myself :)

FM

[Desnudo]

I do to. You never know until you know. I think sometimes the hidden attributes can have a big impact on the overall quality of a player. I also tend to underestimate the impact of "secondary" skills like Flair, Creativity, Technique, and First Touch.

[Izulde]

If you think your GK is good enough and you've got the firepower to compete, shore up your defense or midfield in my opinion ;)

[daedalus]

I think a lot of people underrate secondaries like Des said. I'm usually willing to forego flair, if I need to, but I tend to think long and hard before skipping technique and creativity from my "skill" position players.

Also, with the way the engine work, I'd seriously consider searching out a very, very good left-winger and consider eventually switching Kelly over to the right side (ie, giving you a rotation between Kelly, Fritz and the new left winger). Pace, acceleration, dribbling, creativity, technique and passing would be at the top of my list of necessary attributes. Kelly is "very good" but with 21 to play with, I'm chasing "great".

Roch's suspension might be a silver lining in that it will give you a chance to see if Tie can make a viable backup/solution during the January rush. Although, looking over Vanden Borre's ability, I would be severely tempted to play him as a DMC with "hold up ball" instruction turned on and "through ball" set all the way up. Although Guarin is certainly a temptation.

Here's a solution . . . go back to your "roots" and go back to 4-5-1 (heh, I still remember them days . . . I STILL want to play 4-5-1) and play both Guarin and Vanden Borre. (I'm telling you . . . THAT'S TITANIC SET PIECE!!! :D) Dilemma solved! :D

Other than left wing, the place I'd chase is a good and young (24 or younger) centreback. Although I don't like Collins' secondaries at all, I still think he'll be a viable solution once he settles in. But Shittu, Biscan and Rozehnal are al nearing their sell-by date and you will soon need a replacement/upgrade. Beyond positioning, tackling, marking, heading and jumping, I would also keep an eye on anticipation, work rate, teamwork and composure.

I'm also with Des in that I would go with one or two big purchase(s) rather than many small ones. Or perhaps one big buy and a few to develop.

I think it becomes a bit too much for the brain to compute. I know my brain has to switch some skills off in order to be able to compare players between themselves :)

Pace, acceleration, dribbling, creativity, technique and passing would be at the top of my list of necessary attributes. Kelly is "very good" but with 21 to play with, I'm chasing "great".I saw Desnudo's advice listing left winger. It went "huh?" in my head. mostly because I didn't really want to let go of Kelly. I honestly never thought about switching him over to the right... Hrm, that's an idea... You'll read developments about Kelly in today's reports though. To be continued :)

Or perhaps one big buy and a few to develop.When I was talking about more than one purchase, I was really more thinking about a max of two medium-big signings. Say, one signing of 21M (or 18 or 19, think spending about everything on one player) vs two signings of 9-10M or so. I think there are still plenty of players in the 9-10M that would improve my team by a lot.

Woah, Fábio Rochemback has accepted that he deserved the fine for his dismissal in our last match. I expected him to think it was unfair. Hopefully he'll remember the $26,500 missing from his bank account the next time he wants to whine to Rob Styles in a match, especially after he's just received a yellow card...

I see that Chelsea have reduced their asking price for Luca Maioli back down to $5.6M.

I put in a bid for a French DM RC named Ahmed Yahiaouhi who's currently play for Marseille. valued at $11.5M, I offer them $6M in money and Jeppe Lund Curth as a part exchange. The total value of the offer comes to $12M.

August 14, 2011
Stevenage want Joe Marshall on loan. They'd pay 100% of his wage but I want to be able to recall him so I add that clause before sending back to offer.

Valencia offer $42M for Mexican goalkeeper Francisco Guillermo Ochoa, ouch! I guess we're out of that bidding...

As I keep looking for players, I see Tottenham's keeper Espen Johnsen, a 31yo valued at $5.6M that would probably be a great upgrade over Kasper Schmeichel. I don't put in a bid though.

Our bid for Ajax's goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev is accepted!!! Going to offer him a contract, I see he wants a 4 year contract at $67k per week with a $1.1M signing fee and a minimum release clause set at only $16.5M. He's currently earning $35k per week and Bruno Conti recommends offering him $42k per week... I offer him $59k per week with a $750k signing fee and I up the minimum release fee clause to $20M. We'll see.

Our bid for Yahiaouhi is rejected. I didn't hold much hope in that one to be honest.

Betis offer $16M for Akinfeev, bastages!

Interesting, Arsenal offer $16M plus future incentives for Ahmed Yahiaoui.

Later in the day, Deportivo offer $18M for Akinfeev. Dang, gonna be tough...

Matt Cross twisted his knee in practice. He will miss 1 week.

Leverkusen offer $15M for Akinfeev.

League Match #2: we play Tottenham at Loftus Road. They won 2-1 over Portsmouth in their first league game and are evens favourites to win this game.

James Collins gets the start because of Igor Biscan's injury. Biscan is on the bench though.

Anthony Vanden Borre gets the start at the DMC position and Craig Crane will play at the right full back spot.

This game is on TV and key men are presented as Youssouf Hersi for us and right full back Mbulela Mabizela for them.

The Rivals.net prediction goes as follows: I believe Tottenham have enough about themselves to soo off Q.P.R today.

In the 13th minute, Marcus Kelly takes a free kick very deep, close to the byline on the right wing. He plays it back to Craig Crane who sends it right back every Tottenham player is inside their penalty area, making it a very crowded little box. Kelly's center is deflected and Ross McCormack heads it toward the goal, past the keeper for the 1-0 goal.

The half ends with us ahead 1-0. They're outshooting us though, 8(3) to 4(2). James Collins is having another slow start, was rated at 5 for a good part of the half, now at 6. Kasper Schmeichel kept us in the game early on. He's rated at 8 at the half. Possession is pretty even between the two teams.

In the 55th minute, we again let a goal in through the middle, but that play was a beauty. Not much we could have done against it. Tied 1-1.

Final Score: 1-1

They outshot us 10(4) to 6(3) on the game, meaning the second was closer than the first and other than that one amazing sequence where they scored, we kept them at bay.

Marcus Kelly is named Man of the Match with the only 8 for form of the team, meaning Collins ended with a 7. Anthony Vanden Borre had a good if not excellent game at DMC.

It wasn't one of our best game...

Following the game, I get the news that Francisco Guillermo Ochoa has signed a contract with Valencia. When you pay $42M for a player, it's usually only a matter of time before you sign him to a big, fat contract...

I found a 25yo centreback who's currently playing for Feyenoord. The name is Joost Broeren and he's a frigging tackling machine, averaging over 13 tackles per game. He has good to great positioning, world class tackling (read 20) and pretty good pace (15ish). He's valued at $8M and I offer them $10M for him. He just rejected a contract offer from Feyenoord.

This is a tiny spoiler, but I ended going with Vanden Borre in the DMC spot. Come back later to hear how it went... :)Cool! Did you consider giving him those extra instructions to see what he could do with them?Nah, I like our 4-1-2-1-2 setting too much. Hrm, 4-5-1? I got too many good strikers to do that... There are also some tidbits about Guarin in today's reports... :)But . . . but . . . 4-5-1 . . . it's a Frog thing. :DWhat don't you like about Collins' secondaries?Anticipation, teamwork, composure and work rate.

Edit: To be fair, his composure is actually quite decent. Just . . . in combination with everything else.When I was talking about more than one purchase, I was really more thinking about a max of two medium-big signings. Say, one signing of 21M (or 18 or 19, think spending about everything on one player) vs two signings of 9-10M or so. I think there are still plenty of players in the 9-10M that would improve my team by a lot.Ahhhh. I was thinking something like 15 + 5.

Maioli seems like a good gamble in the 5-6 range. If nobody else is offering, I'd consider 4 and appearance-/goal-based fees to see if they'll bite.

I'm a cheapskate. :D

By default, my DMC has through balls to on, but no holding up play. That's how he was played. I'd say I wouldn't have any problem playing him again in that spot in the future. Possibly playing him at centreback in the first of the two games in three nights hits, so he doesn't tire too much, then playing him at DMC in the center game, giving a breather to Roch.



What don't you like about Collins' secondaries?
Anticipation, teamwork, composure and work rate.

While I agree that his teamwork and work rate are very low (8 and 5 respectively, I don't feel like his composure at 14 and his anticipation at 12 are all that bad. I'll keep on hoping he'll settle... (and I just see that you added an edit re:composure while I was typing my reply offline :p)

Yeah, not too many players would really help me in the $5M range, that I agree.

I'm a cheapskate too, but remember that we're dealing with Chelsea in Maioli's case. Dang bastage is almost never happy to take in what he's asking for. I know, I tried in the past :)

League Match #3: we play Wolves on their pitch. They just promoted from the Championship and have lost their first two games, 0-3 to Man City, and 0-2 to Portsmouth. Despite their losing record, they're 6-4 favourites to win this game. I know we're on the road, I know we've not done amazingly well so far this season, but come on!

Wanting to shake things up a little up front, I start Andrew Johnson next to Ross McCormack. Igor Nadal Lázaro will be ready on the bench.

Danny Shittu's condition is only at 84%, so I play Anthony Vanden Borre at centreback and Craig Crane at fullback.

They show a 4-4-2 formation with long arrows on the wingers.

We take the lead in the 13th middle, when Marcus Kelly finds Andrew Johnson all alone in the middle. AJ scores from 20 yards out.
The half ends with us ahead 1-0. We're outshooting them 8(5) to 4(2) and winning possession with 56%.

Youssouf Hersi strikes one of his great curling shot from 3o yards out in the 66th minute and the keeper can't stop it, we go up 2-0.

Only 3 minutes later, AJ finds himself on the right spot at the right time as he picks up the rebound from a shot of Ross McCormack and buries it to make it 3-0.

Final Score: 3-0

We outshot them 15(9) to 7(4). A great morale boosting win! With that loss, Wolves have now not scored one goal in 3 league games, while conceding 8, ouch.

Clemens Fritz is named Man of the Match with a rating of 9. Marcus Kelly also got rated at 9 while 5 others got rated at 8.

We're in 3rd place after 3 games, WEEHEE!!! :)

Lee Young-Pyo's work permit appeal is turned down and his transfer is cancelled. Bummer...

Our bid for Freddy Guarin is turned down.

This is where I'm at in the game and I'm waiting to hear from my contract offers to Igor Akinfeev and Joost Broeren, just a few days from the transfer deadline... I'm still thinking about all this, what I could get for the team... May be thinking of keeping Kelly after all, go after a great left winger... so much to think about, don't wanna make a bad decision.... ARRRRRGGGGGGG

Igor Nadal Lázaro strained some knee ligaments in training and will miss one month. My physios recommend we send him see a specialist. Since physio time goes from 2 to 4 weeks on short term injuries, I like these recommendations. I send him and the specialist's diagnosis is good. He should be back in three weeks.

Still trying to find somebody to upgrade the squad, I see 26yo Colombian Javier Araujo, an AM RLC currently playing wi9th Newcastle. Valued at 11M, I offer 13M for him.

Igor Akinfeev signs with Schalke 04. It's said he rejected offer from Leverkusen, Beits, and Deportivo. We're not even acknowledged as having put in a contract offer... :( DUDE, someday we'll be big. Someday we'll buy you and we'll sign you and I WILL force you to wash the latrines in between games! OH YEAH I WILL!!!! (sorry a bit of frustration has passed, I feel better now)

Woah, Sampdoria offer the full price for Luca Maioli, $12.5M! Chelsea is still only asking for $5.6M...

The draw for Euro Cup round 1 happens. It says that Q.P.R. have not been seeded, but I have no clue what that means...

We will play Monaco on a home-and-home series. The 1st leg will be played at Loftus Road on September 15 and the 2nd leg at Monaco on September 29. The winner on aggregate scores qualifies for Group Stage. Monaco lost in the 1st Knockout stage (right after group stage) last year and in the quarter final the year before that.

Joost Broeren snubs us. He feels he is deserving of a better basic salary. He doesn't even want to negotiate!!! I agree we offered him a much lower salary than what he wanted, but we could have gone to his requested price. I go through the rounds again and reoffer $16M to Feyenoord for another chance at offering him a contract...

Our bid for Javier Araujo is rejected. I offer $15M.

Things are happening fast when you get this close to the transfer deadline and we hear from Feyenoord in the afternoon. Our bid for Broeren is acceptd. But dang! The bastage now wants $86k per week, while Bruno Conti recommends only $34.5k per week. I offer him the most our board allows us, which is $68k per week and a $1M signing fee.

As I said, things happen fast and we hear from Newcastle about Araujo. Our latest bid has been rejected. I offer them $16M.

League Match #4: we play Fulham at Loftus Road. They've only played two, losing 0-3 to Chelsea and winning 1-0 over Man City. They did win the Euro Vase to qualify for the Euro Cup. They're evens favourites to win this game.

Danny Shittu is back in the lineup and Anthony Vanden Borre goes back to right fullback. Jeppe Lund Curth gets the start.

This match is on TV and key men are presented as Youssouf Hersi for us and Stewart Downing for them.

The bbc.co.uk/sports' perdiction is as follows: A draw is on the cards in this game as I can see Q.P.R. and Fulham cancelling each other out. Not one for the neutral in my opinion.

We're putting pressure early on and in the 10th minute, a free kick from Ross McCormack hits the crossbar.

In the 40th minute, a throw in from César Augusto Fawcett to Marcus Kelly is centered to Fábio Rochemback who curls a beautiful shot from 25 yards out. The keeper can't stop it, we're up 1-0.

1-0 is the halftime score. We're outshooting them 8(4) to 4(3) and possession is fairly even.

Ross McCormack hits the crossbar on another free kick in the 59th minute!

In the 64th minute, I was certain we were going to get tied, as Stewart Downing is all alone in front of an empty net after a save from Kasper Schmeichel. HE PUTS IT OVER THE BAR!!! Still 1-0.

We went to a 4-2-2-1-1 formation a minute later. That's 2 DMC, MR/ML, 1 AMC, 1 SC. Sort of a 4-5-1 if you want :) And it worked perfectly, as we closed the center of the field for the remaining 25 minutes...

Final Score: 1-0

We outshot them 20(11) to 9(5) and the score could have been much, much higher for us.

Clemens Fritz is named Man of the Match with a rating of 9. Marcus Kelly also got rated at 9. Kasper Schmeichel, Anthony Vanden Borre (winning 10 of 12 headers), Danny Shittu (15 of 15 headers) and Fábio Rochemback all got rated at 8.

David Marek Rozehnal suffered a chest injury and will miss 5 days.

Our latest bid for Javier Araujo has been rejected. I let it go.

Marcus Kelly is named on the English Premier Division Team of the Week.

August 30, 2011
Andrew Johnson, Matt Cross, and Tom Howell are all called up to the England U21 squad for a match on September2. Woah three at once, we sure developped good Englishmen :)

Joost Broeren rejects our offer. He again feels he deserves a better basic salary. sigh, I've offered him the most our board will allow me. He is willing to negotiate, but I see where this is headed. I offer him $68k again, up the appearance bonus to $5.2k and the signing fee to $1.6M.

The bid on Marcus Kelly by Manchester City of off. Had I found somebody by now, I could have thought about letting him go, but the way it's going, I'm not sure enough I'll find anybody and I don't want to have to play Tom Howell on the left wing until January 1st.

Luca Maioli signs with Aston Villa. They payed $4.8M up front, which can get to $5.6M based on appearances. I would have liked to put in a bid for him, but having not settled on a big signee, I didn't know what I could afford for him. I'll keep my eyes on him though...

As expected, Joost Broeren snubds us and breaks off talks, saying he's disappointed in the lack of progress made in negotiation. See my reply to the Akinfeev signing a few days ago... WE WILL OWN YOU ALL SOMEDAY!!! Well, maybe not all of you, at least some of you... :)

August 31, 2011
I go back to my shortlisted players and find a 28yo Scot that once snubbed us, saying he wanted to stay put at Celtic. The name is Stephen Pearson and he's an attacking midfielder capable of playing anywhere from left to right, and even center. Good playmaker, with good to great winger skills, he usually gets around 10 assists per season. Valued at $8.8M, I offer $13M and our offer is accepted within half an hour :)

The transfer deadline is today and if we want to sign him, we'll have to talk fast. He wants a 2 year deal at $54k per week with a signing fee of $200k and a minimum release fee clause at $15.5M. It's a reasonable request, as he's currently making $43k per week with Celtic now. I offer him $50k per week with a signing fee of $240k.

Well, he sure liked that deal, and the prospect of coming to play for us, as he agrees to the deal almost immediately. He makes it known that he is really optimistic of rising to the challenge of playing at a highe level.

This leaves us with $8M of transfer budget for another buy, either today, or in January. That $13M is a new record purchase for Q.P.R.

Pearson has most of the skills you want in a good attacking midfielder: dribbling, crossing, passing, creativity, teamwork. He'll make a good player for us, even though is almost slated to be a backup for now. In all honesty, I wasn't sure I was all that happy about that buy, but you'll see he becomes more and more important as the games go by. Click the thumbnail to see his player profile:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/th_110831pearson.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/110831pearson.jpg)

While the fans are delighted about the signing, some players feel threatened by the it. It's the case of Ben Watson, who admitted that our swoop for Stephen Pearson is a 'kick in the teeth' for him. The arrival of fellow midfielder Pearson will mean even fiercer competition for places at Loftus Road and Watson know he will have to work hard to keep his place. Chris Chapman also expressed the same concern, but he's only 19 and has some growing up to do still.

My message to Ben is this: we can never have too many good players. At least not in my perspective as a manager. For what it's worth, I could have replied to him that his job is to play football and not dictate the size of the squad, or that I understand his concerns. I went with what I felt was best. It comes out nice in the media item, with somebody reporting that I hoped the competition for places will bring out the best in Watson. That's the spirit!

We need to register our lineup fo 25 players to be eligible for the Eruo Cup 1st round to be played on September 15 and 29. I didn't know it at the time, but I goofed it up. More to come when we'll get it later on...

The transfer deadline has passed and while I was tempted to put in a few hasty last minute bids, I didn't.

The team board are still delighted by my performance of manager at the club. They have reasons to be, since I came in 2nd for Manager of the Month.

Marcus Kelly also comes in 2nd, but for Player of the Month. He had form ratings of 7, 7, 9, and 9 in 4 league matches and he has 3 assists.

September 2, 2011
Matt Cross, Andrew Johnson, and Tom Howell all played the whole match for the England U21 squad. While none had a particularly impressive showing, I found it nice to see three Rangers playing the whole game.

September 3, 2011
Youssouf Hersi came in from the bench and scored a goal in 38 minutes of play for Holland.

September 7, 2011
Anthony Vanden Borre, playing for Belgium, scored the only goal in the Belgium-Austria match.

Igor Biscan rated at 8 as a right full back, not his strongest position, for Croatia.

September 9, 2011
We learn that the 1st leg of our Euro Cup round 1 series with Monaco has been picked up for live television coverage.

League Match #5: we play Manchester United on their pitch. They're currently in 11th place, kind of struggling with 2 wins and 2 losses to start the season. They're still 4-7 favourites to win this game.

César Augusto Fawcett is away on international duty. That's one drawback of having South Americans playing for you, their international matches are not scheduled when your team is in an off period...

Fábio Rochemback suffered a damaged shoulder yesterday and is still 4 days from being completely healthy.

Man City are back scouting Marcus Kelly.

Man utd come out for the game showing a 4-5-1 formation with up arrows on both outside midfielder and the one in the middle.

They're really dominating us early on, but it still takes them a shot deflected by David Marek Rozehnal in the 38th minute to get on the scoreboard. Down we go, 0-1.

1:45 into injury time of the first half, Kasper Schmeichel stops one shot, but leaves a long rebound. He can't get to the second shot. Down 0-2.

The half ends with us down 0-2. They are outshooting us 8(3) to 3(0). More than that, they are winning possession with 61% split 34-22-5 (possession for them in "our end-middle-their end").

Anthony Vanden Borre is called for a penalty in the 64th minute. They score to add to their lead.

Final Score: 0-3

They outshot us 18(11) to 4(1). I guess they were due, but it's a humiliating loss...

September 14, 2011
Igor Nadal Lázaro resumes full training. The specialist who treated him is optimistic that he's recovered fully from his injury.

Euro Cup 1st round, Leg 1: we play Monaco at Loftus Road. They are 4-5 favourites to win this game.

I decide to start Stephen Pearson in Youssouf Hersi's spot.

We're allowed 7 subs, of which we'll be able to use 3. This is not represented on the lineup. I guess I saved my lineup before I realized this and added towo subs later on.

Monaco are also dealing with injuries as they suffered two in the last few days. A centreback and an inner midfielder. Could hurt them in their usual 4-3-3 formation.

The match is on TV and key mean are presented as being Stephen Pearson for us, and Sébastien Squillaci, a centreback, for them.

Football365.com's prediction is as follows: Q.P.R. aren't a bad side and I think it will be close but for my money this should be awin for Monaco.

We shall see... (believe it or not, I wrote that on my notepad before that game had even started, read on and you'll see how funny it is)

We're on fire early on and Clemens Fritz's long crosspass from one wing to the other leaves Marcus Kelly one-on-one with the keeper. His shot gets in just barely inside the post. Up 1-0.

In the 13th minute, a nice combination involving Marcus Kelly, Andrew Johnson, and Stephen Pearson leaves the ball at Ross McCormack's feet. He squeezes in between two defenders and scores the 2-0 goal.

Stephen Pearson adds another one in the 22nd minute when he bends a nice banana shot from 20yards out. The keeper can't do a thing about it and we're up 3-0 at the half.

We're outshooting them 9(7) to 4(1) at the half, placing our shots very accurately.

Only 4 minutes into the second half, we get a chance to add to our lead when Marcus Kelly is tripped inside their penalty area. PENALTY!!!! Ross McCormack coolly buries it for his second of the game and a 4-0 lead. At this point, every goal counts, since we'll be playing on their pitch in leag 2. We also need to prevent them from scoring, as away goals are taken into account in case of a tie after 90 minute of leg 2.

As I say that, I see them score one from 30 yards out. It's 4-1, but they're really not challenging our goal. Most of their shots have been for a good distance away.

We go to a 5-4-1 formation in the 67th minute, shutting them down completely.

Despite us playing quite defensively, a long, long, long throw in from Ben Watson, landing near their penalty spot, is tipped in by David Marek Rozehnal. 5-1!!!

Final Score: 5-1

We outshot them 21(12) to 5(2), wow! A great first leg and even more, a great first continental competition match for our squad!

Stephen Pearson is named Man of the Match with a rating of 10. Ross McCormack also got rated at 10 while Anthony Vanden Borre and Marcus Kelly got rated at 9. Kasper Schmeichel only received a 6 though.

The $850k gate receipts for this match is a new Q.P.R. record. Remember that stadium capacity is lowered during work and we can only seat 18,000. Today's crowd came to 17,884.

Igor Biscan breaks his arm in training. He'll miss one month.

September 23, 2011
Jeppe Lund Curth breaks his collarbone in traing and he will also miss one month. Enough already!

The draw for the 3rd round of the League Cup happens today. 32 teams are left and we will play Man City and my friend Arsène Wenger at Loftus Road on October 26.

ARRRRGGGGG!!! Looking at possible replacements to brin to the first squad, with Curth's injury and Keigan Parker recovering from surgery, I see that Quincy Owusu Abeyie fractured his cheekbone on September 14 and is still 2 weeks away from coming back. Dear God, when will it stop?!?

September 24, 2011
Guess it'll get worse before it gets better as I learn that Fábio Rochemback suffered a damaged neck and will miss 2 weeks.

To make it even more fun, his possible replacement, Li Tie suffered a bruised thigh today. While he'll miss only three days, we play in in 2, so he'll be doubtful for that one... We're running out of warm bodies to run practices around here... :(

Kidderminster want Justin Wall back on loan for another 3 months. They'd again pay 100% of his wages and he could be recalled. With the look of things I might recall him after a week or two. I accept anyway.

September 25, 2011
Mathew Sadler is absent from training. Woah, for a player on a month-to-month contract, he's sure not too worried about looking good. I fine him one week of wage. He accepts his fine indicating a willingness to improve his behaviour in the future.

League Match #6: we play Bolton on their pitch. They're currently in 19th place with no wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. They won their last game in their first leg of Euro Cup round 1, 4-0 over Benfica.

We're diggin deep within our roster to put in a lineup. I'm saving Pearson for leg 2 of our Monaco Euro Cup series which is in 3 days.

Kasper Schmeichel rushes out in the 16th minute and while he tips the ball sideways, he doesn't push it far enough and their left with an empty net. Down 0-1. We're not in this game at all early on. They're outshooting us 6(3) to nothing after 16 minutes.

Youssouf Hersi is tripped inside their penalty area in the 25th minute. A harsh decision? WHO CARES?!? PENALTY!!! Ross McCormack scores his 5th of the season to bring us back in the game.

The half ends 1-1. They're still outshooting us, but we're at least challenging them a litle. Shots are 8(4) for us, 13(9) for them. Clemens Fritz's condition is at 77%. I want to save him for the Monaco game and pull him out. Matt Cross takes his place.

We take the lead only 3 minutes into the second half when Youssouf Hersi sees Ross McCormacks run into space. McCormack finds himself with only the keeper to beat, which is does. Up 2-1!

We let their winger bring the ball to the byline and center the ball backward. It's headed in in the 62nd minute. Tied 2-2.

The game is intense and the ball is going up and down, both teams alternating at putting pressure on the other when it's too much and they find a crack in the middle. They score to make it 2-3. Shit!

Final Score: 2-3

Frustrating, frustrating loss! They outshot us 19(14) to 13(7).

Youssouf Hersi is named Man of the Match with a rating of 9, but it's useless to the team. Ross McCormack got rated at 8.

We're again giving up too many goals...

We're in 12th after 6 games, with 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. It's a frustrating start to the season in league play, that's for sure...

Wow, West Brom is having a heck of a start to their season! On the other hand, Wolves and Ipswich, two of the three promotees, are struggling mightily...
Matt Cross suffered a damaged shoulder and will miss one week.

Justin Wall is set to go on loan to Kidderminster but I ask them to delay it for one week. I've apparently had not selected Igor Nadal Lázaro as an eligible player for our Euro Cup squad, since he was badly injured at the time of the selection, but I had picked Wall in my list of 25... (newbie mistake I told you about earlier)

Euro Cup 1st Round, Leg 2: we play Monaco on their pitch. We're up 5-1 on aggregate score after our great win of two weeks ago.

They are 4-6 favourites to win this game, but could they really beat us by 4??? Away goals are used as tiebreaker if the teams are tied after 90 minutes, or if they're tied after extra time.

As I said, Igor Nadal Lázaro is not eligible for this match. This means Justin Wall will be on our bench. We still have a ton of injuries and we may go to a one striker formation late in the game, depending on the score.

They show a 4-3-3 formation again. It's gonna be rough, as all of their players show 100% condition while we're mostly in the 95-96% range.

After 30 minutes, they're trying to dictate the tempo of the game, but so far we've denied them of quality shots. Shots are 2(2) for us, 8(3) for them.

Following a challenge in the 34th minute, Clemens Fritz needed to be attended to by our physio. His condition dips to 59%. I pull him out and put Youssouf Hersi in the AMC spot while Stephen Pearson goes on the right wing.

The half ends scoreless, we're up 5-1 on aggregate scores. We got back in the game late in the half and shots are now 8(5) for us, 10(5) for them. Kasper Schmeichel is rated at 9 so far and he's keeping us in the game.

We go to a 4-2-2-1-1 formation. That's 4 defenders, 2 DMC, MR/ML, AMC, SC in which Andrew Johnson comes off the field and Li Tie goes in as the extra DMC.

Anthony Vanden Borre bends a perfect strike from 35yards out and scores his first goal as a Ranger! We're up 1-0, 6-2 on aggregate scores.

Tom Howell has to leave the game, injured, in the 82nd minute. We'll have to finishe with 10 men. Youssouf Hersi is moved from his AMC spot to the left wing.

Final Score: 1-0 (6-1 on aggregate scores)

We ended outshooting them 17(10) to 16(7) on the game, an amazing win on the road!!! We really took control of the game in the second half.

Their keeper is named Man of the Match with a rating of 9, but I don't care. Kasper Schmeichel also got rated at 9 while 5 other got rated at 8.

Tom Howell suffered a gashed leg and will miss 5 days.

We're awarded $110k for the win and we're through to the Group Stage!!!

We're awarded $800k for playing in the Euro Cup group stage and the group stage is drawn. We'll play in Group B which is composed of:
England's Q.P.R
Portugal's Sporting CP
Russia's CSKA Moscow
Sweden's Malmö FF
Spain's Athletic Club

Here's our fixtures list for Group Stage
10/20, home, CSKA Moscow
11/03, away, Athletic Club
11/30, home, Sporting CP
12/14, away, Malmö FF

Click the following two thumbnails to see the group's complete list of fixtures.

I've also saved a screenie of the Group Stage rules. I know many of you have been through this in the past, but some readers may not, so I thought it could benefit many. Click the thumbnail to see the rules.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/th_110929eurogrouprules.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/110929eurogrouprules.jpg)

Saving that screenie is when I realized the mistake I had made. in the "Squad Registration", in the middle, you can read "25 players to be registered on Wednesday 31st August 2011 (25 players allowed to be swap)". See, the way I read that at first is that I'd be allowed to swap 25 among my 25 selected ones. Now, I realize that the "swappage" would have had to happen on August 31st, meaning I could have swapped 25 players from my list of priorly selected 25 players. Thing is, the list I selected on August 31st was my first ever list, and since I had injured players and I thought I'd be allowed to swap them later, I decided to select some other players in that list of 25. I now realize that the next time I'll be allowed any swap is after Group play, when the next list of 25 is required, on January 31st. *sigh* This means I'll keep Igor Nadal Lázaro for league play and I have to hope Kasper Schmeichel doesn't get hurt because my only backup keeper is 17yo Wayne Alexander, heh.

Among other things to note about the rules in Group Stage, the top three of 5 teams qualify for the First Knockout Round, which is another home-and-home series.

The team board are still delighted with my work as manager. Always good to hear :)

We're not mentionned in any awards. Gotta say that our league play has not been the best in the last month.

League Match #7: we play Ipswich at Loftus Road. They just promoted from the Championship and are struggling mightily with 5 straight losses in 5 games so far this season. Even worse, they've scored only 1 goal in those 5 games, while conceding 10. We are evens favourites to win this game.

They last played on the 24th and since that day, we've logged two games, one on the 26th, then another on on the 29th.

Clemens Fritz is sitting out this one and Marcus Kelly takes his spot on the right wing while Chris Chapman starts on the left wing.

Youssouf Hersi and Stephen Pearson both start the game on the bench while Ben Watson plays the AMC position.

James Collins starts at centreback with David Marek Rozehnal standing ready on the bench, in case Collins is having another rough game.

Despite us having many good moments on their end of the field, the first half ends scoreless. We're outshooting them 7(4) to 2(1) but many of our players are getting tired early. Every midfielder or striker is at a condition lower than 80%, which is a bit low for halftime. I put Stephen Pearson in for Marcus Kelly and Igor Nadal Lázaro for Ross McCormack.

The AJ show comes on the air in the 69th minute as Andrew Johnson makes a few good moves on the right win before finding Igor Nadal Lázaro all alone. His pass to Lázaro's feet leaves him all alone with the keeper. He doesn't miss his chance and we go up 1-0.

Only 5 minutes later, Anthony Vanden Borre fires a fabulous strike fro 35 yards out. It's not only a banana shot, it's the whole banana split!!! It goes in for the 2-0 goal.

Ipswich go to a 4-2-4 formation in the 75th minute and I decide to change our team to a 4-2-2-2 formation by pulling Youssouf Hersi down to a DMC spot.

One of their centrebacks picks up his second yellow and his sent off in the 85th minute, thus killing their comeback chances. They go to a very bleh 5-3-1 formation.

Final Score: 2-0

We outshot them 16(9) to 6(2).

Their keeper is named Man of the Match, only because of the sheer number of shots we put on him. Kasper Schmeichel, Craig Crane, Chris Chapman, and Anthony Vanden Borre all got rated at 8 on our side.

We move up from 12th to 10th with the win.

Our chairman can't hide his delight after the win over our rivals.

I allow the move of Justin Wall on loan to Kidderminster to happen.

Highly documented rant alert
There has got to be something bugged in the options you set for the training of your players, mainly the "Train on Match Day" checkmark under the training options. With all the injuries I've gone through in the last few months, I have made sure to keep this checkmark unchecked, as you can see in the the screenie below (click thumbnail).
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/th_111005options.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/111005options.jpg)

If I'm not completely stoopid, this should mean that my players *ARE NOT* training on match day, right? At least that's what I always assumed even though I vaguely remembered seeing a player here or there getting a minor injury on gameday, but I never made any big case of it, cause most of the time I had good backups. Now, date is October 5 and we're getting ready to play Everton in the afternoon. This is our fixtures list (thumbnail):
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/th_111005fixtures.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/111005fixtures.jpg)

I first get an email saying that Danny Shittu sprained his wrist in training and will miss one week, thus making him unavailable for the game that afternoon. At first I thought it had happened the day before and because of processing, I could only read the email on the 5th. BUT NOOOOOO!!! Look at Shittu's profile (thumbnail):
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/th_111005shittu.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/111005shittu.jpg)

It clearly says "Injured in training on 5.10.2011" which is October 5. WHAT?!?

It then got worse when I looked at my squad screen only to see two more players with orange "Inj" tags that were not there before the game started processing. Apparently, Igor Nadal Lázaro is out for about 3 days with a bruised rib, and Stephen Pearson is out for about 5 days with a damaged shoulder. Both of them were "Injured in training on 5.10.2011" but THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO TRAIN!!! :mad:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/th_111005lazaro.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/111005lazaro.jpg) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/th_111005pearson.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/111005pearson.jpg)

A PM will be sent to Marc Vaughan to bring this to his attention. I mean, it may not be the biggest of deal, but while I can deal with an injury rash, whenever I decide to sacrifice some training in order to make sure my players don't get injured, I assume this is what will happen. If not, it gets very frustrating...

League Match #8: we play Everton on their pitch. They're currently 16th with only 1 win, 3 draws and 4 losses. They are still 5-4 favourites to win this game.

With all my being pissed off about the morning's injuries, I forgot to save a pregame roster screen, that's why it looks like that.

Will all the injuries that have been mentionned just above, James Collins steps in at centreback but more importantly, I decide to go to a much more defensive formation with only 1 striker on the field. I call it a 4-2-2-1-1, where Li Tie replaces Andrew Johnson on the starting eleven, playing a second DMC, as you can see in the picture below:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/111005-42211.jpg

We'll see how it goes...

In the 13th minute, Youssouf Hersi gets a goal disallowed following an amazing run on the wing by Clemens Fritz. Apparently, Ross McCormack wandered offside, even though he wasn't even near the play, booooo!

The half ends scoreless. Shots are fairly close with us getting 6(4), them getting 7(2). We're denying them short range access to quality shots but they are controlling the ball a lot. Fritz's condition has dipped to 69% and I replace him by Stephen Pearson.

They go up 1-0 in the 72nd minute following a very nice move on the left. We go back to our usual 4-1-2-1-2. Andrew Johnson goes as I pull out Li Tie.

It becomes evident that, with 10 minutes to play, the guys are drained, as we let them run around the pitch. They score a second goal.

Final Score: 0-2

We fought as hard as we could, we just lacked juice. They outshoot us 14(6) to 10(4).

James Collins gets our only 8 for form. Kasper Schmeichel rated at 6.

Craig Crane suffered some bruised ribs and will miss 3 days. We finally catch a break as our next match is only in 10 days, on October 15.

We drop back to 11th place.

As if we needed this, César Augusto Fawcett strained his groin and is at first said to miss 2 weeks. You're probably beginning to learn that groin=rehab, and yep, it does. He'll miss 3 weeks while attending physiotherapy.
Andrew Johnson played well for the England U21 squad, playing the whole game, rating at 8 and collecting an assist.

Craig Crane makes a public apology to my attention for telling the media that he was disillusioned at not being picked for the first team. He admitted that he should respect any decisions that I make and he realises that complaining publicly is not going to improve his chances of selection. Good boy... :)

October 8, 2011
From one good boy to the ungrateful bastage we go as Jeppe Lund Curth, almost three months before time, goes public and announces that he will leave the club at the end of his contract on a free transfer under the Bosman ruling. He added that he feels he needs a new challeneg and will the the opportunity to leave for nothing when his present deal expires. Well, there goes any chance of getting some money for him, BASTAGE! I still try to offer him to a bunch of teams, asking first $3M, then only $1M. Absolutely nobody is interested... :(

Today is a Euro 2012 qual day...
Anthony Vanden Borre was in magnificent form, impression both pundits and managers for the whole game. He rated at 8 as a right fullback for Belgium.
Ross McCormack scored two goals in Scotland's 11-0 :eek: win over Luxembourg. He rated at 10, one of six 10's for Scotland.

October 11, 2011
It was Andrew Johnson's turn to be in magnificent form in England U21's 1-1 draw against Austria.

October 12, 2011
Ross McCormack scored another goal for Scotland, but he also suffered a bruised thigh and will miss three days. Our next match is in 3 days, grrr.
Stephen Pearson also played in that game for Scotland and even though he only played the last 29 minutes of the game, he also scored a goal. Both players rated at 8.

League Match #9: we play Newcastle at Loftus Road. They're only two points ahead of us in 10th place, but we have a game on hand over them. They are 4-6 favourites to win this game.

They are struggling with injuries of their own, with three players out and one who'S doubtful. All these injuries happened in the last 4 days.

Both team played on October 5.

Ross McCormack is still not 100% after suffering an injury in his last international game. We will play a 4-1-2-2-1, or basically an attacking 4-5-1 formation, that looks like this:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/111015-41221.jpg
Tom Howell is in for César Augusto Fawcett.

Danny Shittu could have been back in the lineup, but James Collins has played well in his last few league games. I hope he won't make me regret it.

Fábio Rochemback is back in the lineup but I'll have Li Tie ready in case he gets tired from not being match fit.

We take the lead in the 16th minute, on a sweet center from Marcus Kelly. Kelly went all the way to the byline before centering the ball backward to Clemens Fritz who was waiting on the edge of the 6 yard box, in front of an empty net. That was Fritz's first goal of the season.

They tie on a beautiful top corner kick in the 21st minute.

The half ends with the score at 1-1. They're outshooting us 6(3) to 3(2) but we're puttin tons of pressure on their defenders.

The second half goes scoreless even though we did put pressure until the very last minute. We just never got good shots on goal.

Final Score: 1-1

Marcus Kelly is named Man of the Match with a rating of 9. Kasper Schmeichel got rated at 6 though...

We drop to 12th place and looking at it, we're oly 5 points ahead of 17th, better watch out...

Euro Cup Group B, Match #1: we play CSKA Moscow. They are 6-4 favourites to win this game.

We are getting into a crazy stretch of 7 games in 20 days, look at this:
10/20 Euro Cup
10/23 EPL
10/26 League Cup
10/29 EPL
11/03 Euro Cup
11/06 EPL
11/09 EPL

Only then will we get a break as the next game after the 9th is on the 19th...

We need Kasper Schmeichel to get back on track as ratings of 6 won't help us much in that stretch.

This game is on TV and key mean are presented as Youssouf Hersi for us and Jiri Jarosik, an inner midfielder in their 5-3-2 formation, for them.

TEAMtalk.com's prediction: A draw is on the cards in this game as I can see Q.P.R. and CSKA Moscow cancelling each other. Not one fot he neutral in my opinion.

All their players are at 100% condition while most of ours run from 95 to 98%.

In the 16th minute, after having been denied many times already, the ball goes back to Craig Crane who's playing a bit forward from his fullback position and he finds Marcus Kelly on the other wing, all alone. He doesn't miss his chance and makes it 1-0.

It's Youssouf Hersi to Andrew Johnson in the 21st minute. AJ doesn't waste time trying to advance the bal and fires a powerful shot from 20 yards out to score the 2-0 goal.

We add a third goal before the half is over when, in the 44th minute, Marcus Kelly centers Tom Howell's short corner perfectly to Danny Shittu's head. He makes it 2-0.

And what's with the handballing from the Russians??? On the ensuing kickoff, and for the second time in the game since they did it on the opening kickoff too, one of their player handballs and is consequently given a yellow card...

The half ends with us ahead 3-0. We're outshooting them 10(7) to 8(3).

The second half goes scoreless as we controlled the ball, not taking chances, mostly shooting from long range.

Final Score: 3-0

Youssouf Hersi is named Man of the Match with a rating of 10. He completed 16 of 19 passes, 7 of them key passes. Anthony Vanden Borre received a form rating of 9 while everybody but the bench, Crane, and McCormack getting ratings of 8.

Chris Chapman suffered a chest injury and will miss 5 days.

We've been awarded $160k for the win.

Ben Watson requests to be transfer listed. I reject the request. You may not like it, but I need you with us...

League Match #10: We play Aston Villa on their pitch. They're having a great start to their season and are currently in 3rd place. They are 4-6 favourites to win this game, but we beat them 2-0 in a preseason friendly.

Mathew Sadler is in at left fullback as I need Tom Howell to serve as Marcus Kelly's backup.

Both teams played in the Euro Cup on October 20.

They score the first goal of the game from short range on the right in the 28th minute. At that point, they were outshooting us 6(2) to a mere 2(1).

The half ends with us down 0-1. We got back in the game and they're now outshooting us 7(3) to 5(2).

In the 66th minute, we repeat the short corner trick. This time, it's Stephen Pearson taking the corner, short to Tom Howell, who centers it perfectly to Danny Shittu's head (who else). Shittu directs it past the keeper for the equalizer, silencing the home crowd.

42 seconds into an announced 2 minutes of injury time, Quincy Owusu Abeyie caps a nice Q.P.R. move that ended in a nice pass from Matt Cross to his feet. Abeyie seals the deal with a goal on his debut!!!

Final Score: 2-1

They outshot us but barely, 10(4) to 8(4), but it's a sweet win!!! A great team effort, with 8 of our players rated at 8.

We move up to 10th.

Arsène Wenger, still managing Manchester City, tells me that his sid is relishing the opportunity to test their skills when our sides meet at Loftus Road in our League Cup match. Speaking ot a journalist from TEAMtalk.com, Wenger stated that his side would do their best to match Q.P.R. and he hoped it would be a cracking game.

Following his comment, Andrew Johnson is happy I'm getting the praise I deserve while Anthony Vanden Borre and Marcus Kelly both believe the team cannot fail to perform whilst under my guidance.

While looking at Wenger's profile, I go WOAH! I'm listed in his list of preferred personnel. Wow, that's the first time I see my name in anybody's list, pretty cool :)

I decide to reply to his praise with a praise of my own, simply praising my friend Arsène Wenger.

League Cup Round 3: we play Manchester City at Loftus Road. They are currently in 12th in the Premiership, so very close to us, and are evens favourites to win this game.
They are also in the Euro Cup, so they've also played a lot recently, and similar to us, they're battling some injuries of their own. I also want to keep in mind that we play Arsenal in three days. I won't throw this one, but if there's any way, I'll try to rest some players to be able to play a good game against Arsenal, since it's league play while this game here is the League Cup.

I forgot to the pregame lineup for this one. You can click the following thumbnail to see the postgame lineup, from which I stripped the condition and game ratings.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/th_111026pre.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/111026pre.jpg)

Paul Davis is in at keeper and we've shaken up our roster quite a bit. Stephen Pearson and Anthony Vanden Borre will completely sit this one out.
We're on fire to start the game and Clemens Fritz does what he does so well, A FRITZ!!! From the center line, he dribbled the ball going from the middle to middle-right then back, past two opponents before striking one with fury. The keeper got his hand on it, but the shot goes in anyway. Up 1-0!

They tie the game in the 10th minute when Danny Shittu misses a rare header in our penalty area. The ball goes to a striker who buries it. 1-1.

Clemens Fritz scores his second of the night when he picked up a nice pass from Marcus Kelly and his shot got deflected by a defender. Up 2-1.

Clemens Fritz is again in the middle of the action, as he sets up Youssouf Hersi perfectly. Hersi scores one off the post. Up 3-1.

The Fritz show continues as he scores another goal in the 40th minute to complete his HAT TRICK!!!

The half ends with us ahead 4-1. Wow, we're outshooting them 8(6) to 2(1). I decide to pull Fritz from the game. He ends it with 3 goals, an assist and a rating of 10.

In the 55th minute, we go to a 4-2-2-1-1 formation. Igor Biscan goes in for Andrew Johnson and Tom Howell goes in for Marcus Kelly.

Final Score: 4-1

We outshot them 14(9) to 6(2) on the game and I achieved what I wanted, which was keep my wingers, and both my strikers somewhat rested. Ross McCormack didn't even play.

Clemens Fritz is named Man of the Match with a rating of 10 and 3 goals and an assist in only 45 minutes of play. We had 6 other at 8, including Danny Shittu who won 10 of 11 headers. How about that, the one header he missed cost us a goal. That speaks volume about the importance of good heading skills for a centreback.

We've been awarded $52k for the win and we're through to round 4.

Wow, talk about beating up on Man City!!!

I love it, he pulled a Fritz. :)

Good read so far, FM. I was beginning to go through withdrawal yesterday with the lack of updates. :p

César Augusto Fawcett resumes full training. The specialist who treated him is optimistic that he's recovered fully from his injury.

Michael Laudrup, the current Arsenal manager, speaks highly of me in the media. In the build-up to our Premier Division clash on Saturday that he truly hopes the best team win. He also comment that I'm a good manager and I derserve every succes with The Rs.

That's nice :)

Following the comment, Danny Shittu and Andrew Johnson are pleased to see I'm getting the praise I deserve while Marcus Kelly again feels the team cannot fail to perform whilst under my guidance. Hmm, somebody remind me to give this guy a raise soon :)

I respond accordingly, stating I admire him very much. However, I also informed journalists from Football365.com that I hope that on Saturday, the best team wins.

Jeppe Lund Curth resumes full training following his neck injury. Anybody care about him anymore? We got kids capable of taking your place... booooooo

The draw for the 4th round of the League Cup happens. There are 16 teams left and we'll play West Brom on their pitch, on November 9. Looking at my list of fixtures, I see that we will play them in league play, on their pitch again, on November 6. I find that odd and remember we had a similar back to back situation last season with a game in the FA Cup. Turns out it was also against West Brom, but both games had been played at Loftus Road. We ended up winning the FA Cup match 3-1, on our way to win it all, and drawing the league match 1-1.

League Match #11: we play Arsenal at Loftus Road. They're having a rough start to the season with 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses and are currently only in 6th place. They are 1-2 favourites to win this game.

Given how relatively low Arsenal are in the standings, compared to where they usually sit, this game scares me. I fear that they're due to switch gears and may use us as punching bags to go back on a winning streak to fight for the title.

Our next game is in 5 days in Spain against Athletic Club.

Anthony Vanden Borre starts for Fábio Rochemback in the DMC spot and Stephen Pearson starts for Youssouf Hersi in the AMC spot.

The game is on TV and key men are presented as Stephen Pearson for us and José Antonio Reyes for Arsenal. They note that Reyes has scores 9 goals in 13 appearances so far this season.

bbc.co.uk/sports' prediction: I fancy Arsenal to win this one. People will argue that Arsenal have a poor away record, but Q.P.R. can't seem to get a win from anywhere at the moment.

That's a funny statement, considering we've won our last three game 3-1, 2-1, and 3-0. Not that I'm questioning him picking Arsenal to win, but his reasoning is a bit flawed to say the least...

Arsenal show a 4-2-3-1 formation to start the game.

Well, crap, crap, crap. Following a long throw from David Marek Rozehnal very deep in their zone, to a spot where not one teammate was standing. They take it the whole way, center it and score. With only 77 seconds done in the game, we're down 0-1, just like that. Everybody feels down after that goal.

Luckily, we regrouped and that was they only goal of the half, despite them trying 9 shots but putting only 2 on target. We shot 3 times, putting one on target and we're winning possession with a respectable 54% split 14-24-16.

But damn it, Ross McCormack is just not there. He's rated at 4 at the half and Kasper Schmeichel still has not recovered from the early goal and is rated at 5. It takes everything I have not to pull McCormack from the game at that point.

I eventually pull him in the 73rd minute and replace him with Quincy Owusu Abeyie who will be facing his former team.

We really turned it up a few notches in the second half, putting tons of pressure on their defense, but we can't buy a goal...

Final Score: 0-1

We outshot them 13(5) to 11(3) on the game, meaning we outshot them 10(4) to 2(1) in the second half. More proof that we were dominating the second half is that half possession figure which shows us with again 54%, but split 5-21-28.

Marcus Kelly had a nice game with a rating of 8, but we had many with a down game. Ross McCormack ends the game with a 5 while Anthony Vanden Borre and Kasper Schmeichel are rated at 6.

I guess it could be seen as a good sign that I'm really pissed about losing. Not only losing, but losing to Arsenal. We could have won that game darn it!!!

We're staying put in 10th position. Arsenal move up to 3rd with their win.

Clemens Fritz suffered a chest injury in the game and will miss 5 days.

I issue a formal warning to Ross McCormack for his poor performance in the game. It's kind of blunt and a moment after issuing the warning, I feel kinda nervous he'll get pissed and it will affect his play. What a relief when I hear that he has apologised for his performance in his previous match and admits that he deserved his official warning. He understands that senior squad members have to lead by example and has said that he will try to motivate himself more for future matches. Great! I like that attitude!

The team board is still delighted. Me happy :)

Tom Howell earns our only monthly award as he his selected as the English Premier Division Young Player of the Month, sweeet! He had form ratings of 7, 8, and 7 in his three league matches in October.

Li Tie suffers a groin strain and is initially said to be missing two weeks. As we now know with groin injury, they rarely are simply what they are. My physios recommend I send him see a specialist, which I do. GRRR, he will miss four weeks while attending physiotherapy treatments.

Southend want Paul Davies back for another three month loan. They didn't learn and they try again to have him without the recall clause. I had it and send the couteroffer their way.

Euro Cup Group B, Match #2: we're in Spain to play Athletic Club Bilbao on their pitch. They are 4-5 favourites.

Again, I forgot to save the pregame lineup, but you can still see the postgame lineup, stripped from the subs and conditions, by clicking the following thumbnail. Sorry about that.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/th_111103pre.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/111103pre.jpg)

Despite not being really match fit, César Augusto Fawcett is back in as the starting left fullback.

I keep Clemens Fritz on the bench, despite his low condition due to his injury in our last match. He could come in handy late in the game and we're allowed to have 7 players on the bench, even though we can't use more than the usual 3. Stephen Pearson starts on the right wing.

Athletic Club show an interesting, albeit narrow 4-3-1-2 formation. That's 4 defenders as usual, then 3 MC, 1 AMC and 2 SC with outside arrows. All their players show 100% condition.

In the 23rd minute, but after putting a lot of pressure, Andrew Johnson caps a wonderful Q.P.R. move and puts us in the lead, 1-0. That was our 5 shot on target already.

The half ends with us ahead 1-0. We're outshooting them 8(5) to 3(0). An intense half and we're running around a bit more than we can afford to, especially on the wings. Marcus Kelly's condition is at 73% while Youssouf Hersi's is at 73%.

They tie the game in the 54th minute after we let a corner kick go through our whole penalty area without clearing the ball. Tied at 1-1.

In the 67th minute, Fábio Rochemback plays a free kick forward to Ross McCormack on the edge of their penalty area. He goes past one defender and drives a shot low that the keeper can't pare. We go up by one!

We go to our late game 4-2-2-1-1 formation. Ross McCormack suffered a minor injury earlier in the game so I pull him out and put in Igor Biscan in the extra DMC spot.

Clemens Fritz goes in for Stephen Pearson and Tom Howell goes in for Marcus Kelly. This last move gave us an incredible boost in possession and proved to be the killer for Athletic Club.

Final Score: 2-1

We outshot them 19(11) to 9(3). I tell you, we had many great plays coming from the wing in the last 20 minutes.

Their keeper is named Man of the Match with a rating of 9 but he was the only one with a rating above 7. Marcus Kelly received a rating of 9 while Anthony Vanden Borre, Danny Shittu, David Marek Rozehnal and Ross McCormack all got rated at 8. Nice to see McCormack bounce back from his atrocious game against Arsenal.

We've been awarded $160k for this second win in Euro Cup group play and after our first two games, the standings in Group B look great for us...

Ross McCormack comes out of the game ok, not even bruised. I breathe a sigh of relief.

Funny thing, I didn't even realize that this game, as all other Euro Cup group play games, was on TV. Sorry about that...

Dang! Alan Curbishley has been sacked by Bolton Wanderers chairman Phil Gartside. I can already hear you saying something like "hrm, okay, and?" Well, pundits in the media are already speculating that high-profile assistant manager Bruno Conti could be tempted to quit Q.P.R. for Reebok Stadium. Oh no! I like Conti, I trust him, I feel like he's got a good eye to evaluate talent. I guess it could certainly happen that a 56 year old assistant with continental reputation would like to have his own job as a manager. I'll be on the lookout...

League Match #12: we play West Brom on their pitch. They're currently in 4th place, slipping from the 3rd place they'd been occupying for so long. They are 5-4 favourites to win this game.

This is the first of a back-to-back series, since we'll play them again in 3 days in round 4 of the League Cup.

Igor Nadal Lázaro gets the start and Andrew Johnson will sit this one out.

Anthony Vanden Borre starts at DMC while Fábio Rochemback also sits this game out.

Craig Crane takes the right fullback spot.

I swap Stephen Pearson and Marcus Kelly, wing for wing, making Pearson the left winger and Kelly the right winger.

Only 94 seconds into the game I see the dreaded words: "Mr Styles wants to talk to Stephen Pearson" Ohhhh crap. Been a while since we've seen the dude... QUICK, EVERYBODY EASE ON YOUR TACKLES!!!

The half ends scoreless even though we've put 5 of our 9 shots on target. What do we have to do to buy a goal??? We shut them down of any scoring chances in that first half.

In the 72nd minute, Quincy Owusu Abeyie finds Igor Nadal Lázaro in between their two centrebacks. he starts running and as he is about to be caught from behind, he sees that their keeper has rushed out, a bit too eager to put pressure on him. He chips the ball over the keepers head and it goes in. What a fabulously perfect strike to pu us up 1-0!!!

They go to a 4-2-4 formation in the 74th minute and I reply by putting us into a 4-2-2-2 formation. That's 2 DMC, MR/ML, then 2 strikers. Ben Watson is put in the second DMC spot.

We hang on!!!

Final Score: 1-0

We outshot them 21(12) to 4(1). Not only did we hang on, we pretty much dominated them.

Their keeper is named Man of the Match with a rating of 9, again the only one on their team with a rating above 7.

César Augusto Fawcett, Marcus Kelly, Anthony Vanden Borre, and Igor Nadal Lázaro all rated at 8.

We've done this for a couple games now, and I realize I really like having Clemens Fritz coming off the bench in the beginning or the middle of the second half, against tired defenders. His relative lack of stamina renders him ineffective in the second half when he's the starter, but he's amazingly good when coming off the bench...

Ben Watson suffered a chest injury in the game and will miss 5 days.

We're in 10th place following the win, but with a game on hand over the teams in 5th through 7th place. It's still really tight...

League Cup Round 4: we play West Brom (again) on their pitch (again). They are 5-4 favourites to win this game (again). Before the game, I hope to beat the odds (again). :)

16 teams are left at this point in the Cup. The winner is through to the Quarter Finals. In the other games played in this 4th round, there is one big matchup as Chelsea and Arsenal have been drawn to play each other, Chelsea being at home.

Anthony Vanden Borre goes back to right full back while Fábio Rochemback takes back his spot at DMC.

Both wingers don't change and since our next game is only in 10 days, when we'll play Chelsea, I won't worry too much about keeping players fresh for yet another match in three days. This means I may leave whoever is playing well a bit longer if necessary.

After comparing them closely, I decide to keep a match fit Quincy Owusu Abeyie over a completely unfit Jeppe Lund Curth.

David Marek Rozehnal is back in at centreback and James Collins is out.

We injured their right winger in the game we played three days ago and overall, their conditions seem a bit lower than ours. I guess we just got used to playing every three days, since we've been doing this non stop for three weeks :)

They show a 4-4-2 formation with long arrows on the wingers.

Not even a minute has been played in the first half, 59 seconds to bexact, when Ross McCormack is tackled on the edge of their penalty area. The referee applies the advantage rule and it's a good thing since Youssouf Hersi picks up the ball and scores one off the post!

They tie it in the 10th minute after a short throw in is picked up an centered to the far post. Kasper Schmeichel is right there, but their striker is able to head it in anyway. 1-1.

36 seconds into injury time of the first half, Andrew Johnson is entering their penalty area when he gets upended. The referee points the spot... PENALTY!!! Ross McCormack scores the 2-1 goal!

The half ends with us ahead 2-1. We are outshooting them 8(6) to 4(2).

I didn't make any changes at the half, but in the 63rd minute, I switch both wingers. Stephen Pearson is replaced by Tom Howell on the left wing and Marcus Kelly is replaced by Clemens Fritz on the right.

Dang! Tom Howell has to go out, injured, in the 75th minute. We go to a 4-2-2-2 formation, without any attacking midfielder and I move Hersi to the left wing, while bringing in Igor Biscan to play the extra DMC spot.

In the 89th minute, as they are putting a ton of pressure on our defense, they get a free kick just outside our penalty area. BRILLIANT SAVE by Kasper Schmeichel who tips it to a corner. Their keeper joins the attack on that corner, but we're able to prevent them from using the extra player.

2:13 into injury time, Clemens Fritz brings the ball in their penalty area from the right wing. Ross McCormack and Andrew Johnson are near the net. Fritz passes the ball to McCormack but the keeper stops his shot. However, he lets go of the ball and Andrew Johnson is right there. He pounces on it and scores his 5th of the season.

Final Score: 3-1

We outshot them 15(9) to 11(5). I feel really good about beating them back to back. Remember, this team was 3rd in the EPL not so long ago...

Ross McCormack is named Man of the Match with a rating of 8 but every starter but Pearson received a 8 for this game.

Tom Howell bruised a rib and will miss 3 days.

We've been awarded $130k and we're through to the Quarter Finals.

Chelsea won 2-1 over Arsenal.

Our next game is only in 10 days, weehee, we can breathe! :)

Looking back on that crazy stretch, I realize we did quite well. Look at this, 6 wins and 1 loss over 7 games played within a 21 days span, impressive!

More than anything though, this stretch, which started with the end of our injury rash, as proven that we can do it, and we can compete with the top teams when our team is healthy.

The draw for the Quarter Final round of the League Cup happens. We come out first, meaning we'll be at home. I think: "niiiiice". Then I see our opponent: League One Swansea, the only non-EPL team left in the remaining eight!!! While I don't want to take them for granted as they are still 3rd on League One which isn't too shabby, but you gotta believe this is an amazingly good draw. The game will be played at Loftus Road on December 7.

Um, should the final score be 3-1?
Good read, thanks for keeping me entertained today (and everyday) Froggie. :)

/tk

edit 1: changed some wording and added a statement
edit 2: made the changed wording English

[Tellistto]

Reading the whole report and ignoring the final score posted, I'd say yes, the final was 3-1.


Tell

[finkenst]

and i was trying to figure how it went from 2-1 at the half to a 2-0 final. :)

and then 3-1 in the list of fixtures. http://dynamic.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif

[FrogMan]

hum, yeah, the final score was indeed 3-1, sorry about that, don't know where that 2-0 came from :)

glad you're enjoying the read tk, hope everyone is too :)

I'm done reporting what's been played. Will certainly play some tonight :)

While the team is off, many of our players are taking part in international games here and there. I'll report mostly on the good games, or when a player scores a goal or makes something interesting in a game.

James Collins was in magnificent form, impressing both pundits and manager for the whole game for Wales in a 3-0 win over Faroes Island. Selected Man of the Match, he was rated at 8 for form, winning all of the 11 headers he went for, 4 of them key headers. That is better than many of the games he's played for us so far...

César Augusto Fawcett played well in a friendly for Colombia. He played the whole game and was rated at 8 for form. He even scored a goal form his left fullback position.

It was a Q.P.R. showdown in the Scotland-Denmark game. Ross McCormack scored a goal for Scotland against Q.P.R. teammate Kasper Schmeichel who started and played the whole game in the nets for Denmark. Stephen Pearson also played for Scotland.

Andrew Johnson scored a goal on England U21's 2-0 friendly win over Tunisia.

November 16, 2011
Ross McCormack scored another goal for Scotland, as they won 3-0 in a frienldy over Qatar. He started and played 65 minutes in that game. Stephen Pearson also played and had a good game, ratig at 8 for form.

César Augusto Fawcett played the whole match for Colombia in a 4-0 friendly win over French Guyana. He rated at 9 and had an assists in that game.

Chris Chapman requests to be transfer listed. The kid is still young and as I said before, still has some growing up to do. I reject his request. He could be a regular fixture in our midfield by next season...

November 18, 2011
The 3 month loan of Joe Marshall at Stevenage ends. In 10 league appearances, he maintained an average for rating of an even 7, conceding 8 goals and collecting 4 clean sheets in the process. Not all bad...

League Match #13: we play Chelsea at Loftus Road. They are currently sitting in 1st place of the EPL and are 4-7 favourites to win this game.

César Augusto Fawcett and Andrew Johnson are both out on international duty. Fawcett will be replaced by Tom Howell and while I'm looking at his profile, I'm struck with something I've never seen on one of my teams: a WONDERKID!!! Woah! Tom Howell is now, at 20 years of age, seen as a wonderkid! WOW! Click the two thumbnails to look at this. The first one is his personal information screen, where the wonderkid description appears, and the second is his profile per se. As you can see, he's grown since we bought him from Hull a couple of seasons ago, kind sad that his pace isn't better...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/th_111119howell1.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/111119howell1.jpg) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/th_111119howell2.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/111119howell2.jpg)

Open question here: so what does this "wonderkid" description mean? That he still has lots of untapped potential?

As far as replacing AJ in the lineup, I'm thinking of a new twist for that. Chelsea usually plays a 4-3-2-1 formation that has always given us trouble in the past. That's a pyramid of 3 MC's, 2 AMC's and 1 SC. I'm thinking that the 4-2-2-1-1 formation we sometimes use could give us a better chance of countering their attacks.

Getting to the game, they indeed show their 4-3-2-1 formation. We'll see how our 4-2-2-1-1 formation will match up on the field, but I've done some screenie rotating to show you how it looks on the field. The lineup on the left is ours, the one on the right is Chelsea's that I have rotated to show who matches up against who. Interesting...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/111119qpr.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/111119chelsea.jpg

The first half ends scoreless, but it's not because we're not pressuring them. The formation is working nicely as we outshoot them 7(6) to 5(2) at the half. We're winning possession with 55%, split even on our end, losing slightly in the middle (expected) and winning it big time on their end. Peter Cech is keeping them in the game so far...

AAAAAAAARRRRRGGGG!!! We just can't convert one!

Final Score: 0-0

We gave them quite the hard time but we just couldn't score one! We outshot them 10(8) to 7(3) on the game. We not only could have won it, we should have won it!

Marcus Kelly is named Man of the Match with a form rating of 10. He had 17 runs past oppnents on the game. Kasper Schmeichel got rated at 8 while his Chelsea counterpart, Peter Cech rated at 9. He's the sole reason we didn't come up with the win.

We remain in 10th, but I'm very satisfied, if a bit frustrated, with the draw.

César Augusto Fawcett was named Man of the Match for Colombia in a 4-0 win against Venezuela in a World Cup Qualifier. He received a form rating of 10, scoring a goal and totalling 12 runs past opponents from his left fullback spot.

Damn! Fábio Rochemback suffered a torn groin muscle and while he's initially thought to be missing one month, my physios all think I should send him to the OR. Facing a good 2 to 6 months of recovery time following the injury, I decide against it...

November 22, 2011
Matt Cross has revealed that not being a part of the first team at Loftus Road is starting to unsettle him. The 21yo right winger is unhappy that he continually finds himself turning out for the reserves and has said that he will be looking to leave the club if he doesn't break into the first team soon. It may be what you'll have to do, son. I'm sorry, but you've not developped the way we thought you would, or at least not at the same rate we've improved the team in the last few years, and I don't think you can cut it on a game-to-game basis in the Premiership...

Another email I received today is titled: "Agent for Cross approaches your club". I wanna go: "Now what?!?" but it turns out it's the agent of Stuart Cross, a 23yo inner midfielder currently playing for League One Barnsley, who's sending me a video of Cross' most recent game with Barnsley, in which he scored a hat-trick. It's the first time an agent has sent me a video of one of their protégé, so I take a look at the video and while it's very nice, with Cross' name in yellow at all time on the field, two of his goals were lucky ones. One a flicked header that he didn't mean and the other a deflected shot from long range. In all honestly, I have to say that Cross, who's valued at $750k, has pretty good fundamental skills. His agent adds that his client is very keen to join our club and he would be delighted if I make an offer. I ask my scouts to report on him before I make any kind of offer...

Andrew Johnson played the whole match, scoring a goal, for the England U21 squad. He was rated at 9 in their 3-0 win over Ukraine U21 in a Euro U21 Championship qualifier.

The wonderkid description is based on current ability, not potential. While the player could become better, it's more a reflection that he's achieved quite a bit of ability at a young age.

[terpkristin]

So wait, you're going to risk further injury and downtime to Fábio Rochemback by not sending him to the OR?

I mean, not that I'm ever a fan of OR's, but if people are unilaterally recommending it....that's when I usually have surgery.

League Match #14: we play Blackburn at Loftus Road. They are just ahead of us, in 8th place, and are 5-4 favourites to win this game.

César Augusto Fawcett is still away on international duty with Colombia, as they play Peru in a World Cup Qualifier today.

Andrew Johnson played yesterday, basically ruling him out of today's game.

We go back to our usual 4-1-2-1-2 and give Quincy Owusu Abeyie one of his rare start.

We are going into another, longer stretch of games to be played every 3-4 nights, and if we go a bit further in the League Cup, it could only get worse. Look at this:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/111123fixtures.jpg

I call this a "rough stretch" because I still compare it to the "easy" schedule we had last season, but if we're to have any kind of success in either of the two English Cups, or on a European level, we better get used to playing often. :)

They show a 5-3-2 formation with up arrows on the wingbacks to start the game.

We score a funky goal in the 18th minute. Stephen Pearson centered the ball from the left wing, past Ross McCormack, to Youssouf Hersi. Hersi headed the ball back toward Pearson, but McCormack stepped in front of it and kicked, top corner, past their keeper who was still swinging his head trying to figure out where the pinball was... up 1-0. The crowd loved it!

The half ends with us ahead 1-0. Shots are kept pretty low, with us getting 4(3) and them 3(0). It was a tough first half and we're far from dominating the game. Both striker's condition is at 79%, kind of low for a halftime figure.

We go to a 4-2-2-1-1 formation in the 60th minute. Igor Biscan comes in to replace Quincy Owusu Abeyie.

The crowd had quieted a bit, mesmerized by our patient ball control play, but it goes wild again when Clemens Fritz picks up the ball in the 86th minute, one third into Blackburn's side of play. FRITZ! FRITZ! FRITZ! they chant, and he turns it on... He pulled a FRITZ as he ran with the ball, two defenders on his tail, until he got just inside their penalty area where he buried the ball with a precise strike. What a goal again by Fritz!

Final Score: 2-0

We outshot them 10(7) to 8(0). They tried coming close to our goal, but we only allowed them shots from the periphery.

Clemens Fritz is named Man of the Match despite only playing the last 30 minutes of the game. He received a form rating of 8 in that short period of time and still had 9 runs past opponents.

Tom Howell, Stephen Pearson, and Ross McCormack all received ratings of 8.

We move up to 8th place and we're only 3 points from 3rd!!!

The wonderkid description is based on current ability, not potential. While the player could become better, it's more a reflection that he's achieved quite a bit of ability at a young age.

Tell
oh really? I always was of the impression that it was more based on potential than actual ability. So the kind of skills he's developped at age 20 would warrant him the tag of wonderkid? Maybe...

Thanks for the info.

So wait, you're going to risk further injury and downtime to Fábio Rochemback by not sending him to the OR?

I mean, not that I'm ever a fan of OR's, but if people are unilaterally recommending it....that's when I usually have surgery.

/tk
Well, I didn't explain my reasoning really well, if at all, did I? :)

When I say everyone recommended surgery, it's always like that, in the game at least. Either none of my physios, or every one of them recommends it. It probably would be more realistic if we could have a mix and match of recommendations, but it's not how it comes out, maybe it'll be that way in FM2006, who knows :)

Then about him missing further injury down the road, here's my reasoning about it, reasoning that happened only in my head, sorry about that :)

Not sure you'd like to hear that from your coach, but I'm taking a gamble with him. First of all, he's 29.

Second of all, his contract is up in June 2012, so he'll basically become available to a Bosman signing on January 1st unless I offer him a contract in December, when I will analyze who I want to keep and who will be let go.

Third of all, when I took a look at his wage requests, right after he got injured, he was asking for $68k per week, a huge increase from his current $26.5k per week wage. I like Fábio, but there will be decisions to be taken regarding wages as we're already up to $650k and I already see Marcus Kelly wanting $69k, and I'd be more tempted to give him the big money than Fábio, who has not impressed me all that much, especially this season.

Had Roch been a 22 to 25 year old with a longer term contract, say at least another season, I would not have thought about him skipping surgery, but in this case here, I'm back to my gambling concept. I'm hoping he'll come back for the beginning of January and he will be able to give me a good three months before being injured again. I mean, before I realized that you could ask your physios about a health report, I had Danny Shittu who got injured in two consecutive seasons, for good periods of time, but he still played more than half the season in both seasons...

Hope this clarifies my train of thought :)

Euro Cup matches are played today but we're sitting out this round. In Group B this round:
Malmö FF 2-1 CSKA Moscow
Sporting CP 1-0 Athletic Club

Following their win, Sporting CP have clinched qualification to the Knockout Round. Here is the Group table:

Seeing how CSKA Moscow and Athletic Club have played so far, and the fact that the top three teams qualify, I'd say we're inching closer and closer to qualifying for the Knockout round too :)
Our next Euro Cup match is on November 30, when we'll play said Sporting CP at Loftus Road. A win or a draw there would clinch us a spot in the Knockout Round.

Arsène Wenger, in the build-up to our Premier Division clash of tomorrow, has sent his usual praise. He says he truly hopes the best team wins. He also comment that I am a good manager a I deserve every success with The Rs.

Following his comment, Danny Shittu, ever the good guy, is happy I'm getting the praises I deserve, while Anthony Vanden Borre, Marcus Kelly, and Ross McCormack all believe the team cannot fail to perform whilst under my guidance.

In a funny jab, I decide to tell him I'd enjoy the win against his Manchester City side. Huhoh, oops, look how it came out in the media:

Gougeon Hopes for win against Wenger's men
In a surprising turn of events, Steve Gougeon has apparenlty not agreed with Arsène Wenger's kind comment about his managerial ability and has responded accordingly.

Q.P.R. manager Steve Gougeon has told Arsène Wenger that he really hopes his side can get one over on Man City on Saturday.

Gougeon commented that he had not had the best of histories with Wenger and a victory in this league match would bring a smile to his face.
Woah, what was that all about??? I mean, who doesn't enjoy a win?

Some players had reactions to my comment, positive and negative. Anthony Vanden Borre, Marcus Kelly, and Ross McCormack (same three who thought the team couldn not fail to perform under my guidance) all believe they have similar character to min and that we will be able to work well together, both on and off the pitch.

On the other hand, Youssouf Hersi and Tom Howell were not happy at what they perceived to be unprofessional comments from me to the media.

Interesting... I went to take a look at Wenger's profile and I'm still listed among his favoured personnel. :)

Keigan Parker resumes following his long injury and rehab. Sadly, his contract is up next June and he wants a pay raise to $68k and I don't think he warrants that much money, so he's basically entering his last 7 months with us...

Igor Nadal Lázaro complains to the media that not being part of the first team at Loftus Road is starting to unsettle him. The 24yo striker is unhappy that he continually finds himself an onlooker when the first team play and has said that he will be looking to leave the lcub if he doesn't break into the first team soon. Man has success got to these guys' heads or what?!? I mean sheesh, you been injured for a good part of the first half of the season, it's not like I benched you all this time on purpose darn it!!! His contract is still good until June 2013 but looking at his wage demands of $89k per week :eek: I think he won't be with the Rangers much past the end of this contract... *sigh*

League Match #15: we play Manchester City on their pitch. They are currently in 15th position, similar to last season, when they had a low league position during the season, only to turn it on later on to finish in a respectable 7th place, one spot ahead of us. This time though, Arsène Wenger is dealing with quite a few unhappy players, many stating that the team is underachieveing. They are evens favourites to win this game.

While setting my lineup, I see that James Colins is now unhappy and wants some clarification on his role at the club. I feel it's a bit early, but he is 28 now and if he came to the club thinking he'd start every game, this is not what really happened. I may start playing him more, but sometimes, he scares me.

They show a 4-4-2 formation with long arrows on the wingers to start the game.

The first half is mostly uneventful except for a scare that James Collins gave me in the 30th minute. Taking is sweet time dribbling the ball, IN OUR PENALTY AREA, running backward toward our siz yard box, he got dispossessed of the ball, but they put it over the bar. DAMN IDIOT, be careful!!!

The half ends scoreless with us outshooting them 5(3) to 4(2).

In the 72nd minute, a center to the far post by Clemens Fritz is punched out by they keeper. The ball ends to the feet of Anthony Vanden Borre, on the edge of the penalty area where he kicks it on the half volley, bending it nicely. Their keeper can't do a thing about it and we're up 1-0.

It's a friggin nailbiter from that point on. We go to a 5-1-2-1-1 formation with Vanden Borre brought back to a centreback spot. A nailbiter, but we hang on!

Final Score: 1-0

We outshot them 12(9) to 11(7). Woah, tons of shots on target in that game.

Marcus Kelly is named Man of the Match with a rating of 10. Kasper Schmeichel also had a good game, rating at 9, while Danny Shittu, Stephen Pearson, and Anthony Vanden Borre all got rated at 8.

We move to 4th place (!) with the win, but we have played one more game than many of the other teams. Still this most recent win is money in the bank, nobody can take these three points away from us :)

PS: that last game doesn't have much commentary to it and I appologize for it, but I started it very late last night, at least late for me at 11:02pm. Let's just say that my addiction got the best of me and after exchanging these few words with Wenger, I just had to see how we'd play in that game :)

[FrogMan]

And talk about teams switching place, what about Arsenal in 9th place, huh?

It indicates that he's reached a certain level of current ability, and has a certain level of potential ability.

Sorry Tellistto, this has become my new favorite definition for a wonderkid :p

FM

[Tellistto]

Technically, both definitions are correct. You will never see that description unless the players current ability is high enough to qualify him for it, so...even if potential has nothing to do with it or does hardly matters, he'll still be a damn good player. Just in your case he's too dern slow.

I'm not one who swears only by pace. I know, I know, maybe I should and my team would be only better, but I often like players with better all around skills, thinking that even if he can't run real fast, he can setup everybody around him with his amazing crossing and good passing skills, or steal the ball from their fullback deep in their zone with his great tackling... Makes them more real to me :)

Mathew Sadler once again whines about not being part of the first team. He's stil on a month-to-month contract and honestly, I wouldn't care much if he left...

That being said, I then learned that left winger Marcus Kelly twisted his knee and will miss one knee. Tom Howell will step in his place. Thing is, Howell is also our backup left fullback...

The Sunday EPL games are played and they kind of turned out well for us. #1 Chelsea drew 0-0 with #6 Liverpool, leaving Liverpool tied in points with us. Could have been worse, since it was Liverpool's game on hand over us, they could have passed us. Aston Villa and Tottenham also drew 0-0. They're two teams right behind us. Finally Blackburn drew 1-1 with Bolton. Blackburn was just 3 points behind us. After 15 games, positions 4 to 10 are all within 3 points of one another...

Li Tie resumes full training. This is good news to an extent, with the injury to Fábio Rochemback and the stretch of games that are coming up, we may need Tie to step on the field a bit more.

Woah, look at Liverpool's record :eek: 5 wins, 10 draws :eek:

I also went back and found last season's table after 15 games or so and we were in 7th place with 7 wins 3 draws and 5 losses after 15. We had also score 27 and allowed 27. We have improved our defensive play a lot this season. Hopefully this will continue...

November 30, 2011
I've started looking at what the wages will look like in 2012 and who I'd like to resign before they become available to be signed away on a Bosman.

I'll give you my thoughts first, then I'll show you a table of where the team is headed for 2012.

I see 5 players I'd probably like to keep among the players with contracts that are up in June, here they are in order of my interest in them, with their new wage requests.

1) Marcus Kelly, 25yo AM RL, currently paid $6.6k per week, wants $68k, Conti recommends 51k
The versatile winger may not have the most incredible skill set on paper, but he is a machine on the field. On top of that, is is not a complainer, still playing on his original contract, paid only $6,600 per week. I absolutely, positively want to sign him to a new contract.

2) Craig Crane, 21yo D R, currently paid $3.4k per week, wants $26k, Conti recommends $15.5k
The kid is coming along quite nicely and his playing well at the right fullback spot whenever I need to use Anthony Vanden Borre elsewhere. I'll try to sign for less than he wants, as I think that $26k is a bit steep for him.

3) Chris Chapman, 20yo M LC, currently paid $700 per week, wants $30.5k, Conti recommends $14.5k
Another one who's coming along nicely, the Luton product holds a special place in my heart, as he is my final tie with the Luton club of old. He was a youth team graduate while I was managing there and I brought him to Q.P.R. in my first season here. Lacking pace a bit, he can still double at inner midfield as well as left wing.

4) Fábio Rochemback, 29yo DM C, currently paid $26.5k per week, wants $68k, Conti recommends $38.5k
Roch can be either very hot, or very cold, and even sometimes downright hurtful to the team, especially when he tries to impress referees (Rob Styles anyone?). He's not even averaging 7 in form this season, and this has got me worried about him. I would have thought that in his second season, he would have been playing better, not worse. The big difference between what he wants and what Bruno Conti recommends is also another thing that's got me worried a bit. Being that he is 29 already, does Conti see things as going downward for the Brazilian? I think I could probably sign a similar DMC, or at least maybe one who's less impressive skill-wise but more reliable game in, game out, and possibly with more heading skill (hi Desnudo ;))

5) David Marek Rozehnal, 31yo D C, currently paid $12k per week, wants $24.5k, Conti recommends $12k
I like David in a sense that I feel like I can trust him not to screw it up when is on the field. Granted, he's not getting any younger, but I like him better than, say, James Collins, at least for now. If I'm able to get him to agree to a deal in the vicinity of $17k, I'd like to keep him around for at least another season.

Here's the list of every players on the squad, with their contract status, wages, etc. The two columns to the left are two possible scenarios that could happen. One is if I resign Rochemback, the other is if I don't.

The middle column (w/offer) is what it will look like once I'll have signed Marcus Kelly. Our wage budget right now is at $700k and you can see that we'll go over the wage budget as soon as I sign him, which will quite certainly trigger the "restriction finger" of my chairman. This would mean that it will make it pretty much impossible to off $68k to Rochemback, not that I think he is worth that much. Even Kelly, I'll sign to sign for less than that. I pointed out Rochemback, since I don't think the board will restrict my wage offers enough that it would make signing any of the other impossible. I'd guess that they may restrict the max offer from $68k to possibly as low as $48 k, but not lower than that, maybe somewhere in between...

Euro Cup Group B, Match #3: we play Sporting Clube de Portugal (aka Sporting CP) at Loftus Road. They are 4-5 favourites to win this game.

Tom Howell is in for injured Marcus Kelly and Chris Chapman will be backing him up, even though he's coming off an injury and has not played in a little while.

The game is on TV and key men are presented as Youssouf Hersi for us and Brazilian goalkeeper Ricardo for them. They point out that Sporting CP have conceded only 9 goals in the 14 games where Ricardo was their keeper.

Rivals.net's prediction: This one isn't an easy game to call but I predict Sporting CP to come out on top in what will undoubtedly be a tight affair.

As we get to the game I see that Pierluigi Collina will be our referee. It's the first time he's refereed one of our game, which is simply normal, since we've not had too many continental competition games... This is also kind of odd, considering that in 2011, he's now about 51 years old. I know he retired of international competition with Euro 2004 (wikipedia link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierluigi_Collina)) but I don't know if that would apply to the EUFA Cup...

While we're putting some pressure early on, it takes Anthony Vanden Borre to blast a splendig banana shot from 35 yards out in the 15th minute for us to go ahead. A fabulous strike to give us a 1-0 lead.

Ten minutes later, we do it again. This time, it's Stephen Pearson's turn to fire one from 30 yards out, and again, Ricardo can't do a thing about the precision of the strike. Up 2-0.

Amazingly, we add to our lead in the 34th minute, when Tom Howell makes a nice pass from the sideline to the feet of Youssouf Hersi in the middle, near their penalty area. He makes a couple great move and blasts one to the top corner just as he got into the penalty box.

The half ends with us leading 3-0. We're outshooting them 11(8) to 3(1), also dominating ball control with a 57% figure.

In the 47th minute, there are reports that they are switching to a more defensive style. Huh? Say that again? :)

In the 67th minute, Clemens Fritz is denied entry in their penalty box. Not one to be stopped twice, he picks up the loose ball and runs right in the box, closing in on the keeper. He spots Hersi standing on the edge of the 6 yards box. His pass is perfect and Hersi makes it 4-0 on his second of the game, 5th of the season.

We keep adding to the scoreboard in the 84th minute when Clemens Fritz pulls a near FRITZ! He did evreything, from the middle this time, but Ricardo got a hand on the ball. Only one hand though, simply pushing the ball sideways, where Andrew Johnson can pounce on the rebound. 5-0!

We're too much for Ricardo to handle and, in the 87th minute, after Tom Howell had nicely swiveled and made a pass to Quincy Owusu Abeyie, and after Abeyie had shot a low and hard shot, Ricardo just can't control the wet ball. Clemens Fritz is there for the rebound and he buries it for the humiliating 6-0 goal.

Final Score: 6-0

We outshot them 19(13) to 5(1). A wow kind of game... Lots of fun to be on the winning side of it :) And how about that Ricardo, huh? I'm sure you will find him crying softly under the stands, after conceding 6 goals in a game, or 2/3 of what he had conceded in his last 14 games :D

Youssouf Hersi is selected Man of the Match with a rating of 10 and 2 goals. Tom Howell also got rated at 10. I had kind of adjusted the individual orders for his wing side. For example, I had tuned down the "run with ball" order and added tweaked up the "through ball" setting. I'd say it turned out ok. :)

We also had numerous other players rated at 8.

We received $160k for the win and with it, we have clinched a spot in the EURO Cup 1st Knockout Round. WEEHEE!!!! In the other Group B match, Athletic Club won 2-0 over Malmö FF. Here is the group table at this point:

Looking at the table, not only have we clinched a spot in the 1st Knockout Round, we've also clinched first place in our group, since Sporting CP are done playing their four games. WOOHOO! GO RANGERS!!! We still have to play Malmö FF on December 14 on their pitch, our early qualification will relieve some tension and allow us to play some backups in that game, in preparation to our game against Liverpool that immediately follows it, on December 17.

Also played today were the first two Quarter Final of the League Cup. Everton upset Chelsea by beating them 2-0, while Manchester United won by the same score over Wolves.

And, in league play, Arsenal beat Ipswich 2-0, bumping them up to 5th place while dropping us one spot, to 7th place. I won't post the league table after every little midweek game, but I thought this was an interesting picture: 5 teams with 25 points...

The team board is delighted with my performance as manager of the club, and they have good reasons to be, as I am selected as the Premier Division Manager of the Month. SWEEET!!!

It's a good month for Q.P.R. as Marcus Kelly is selected as the Premier Division Player of the Month. SWEEEEEEEEET!!! :)

After receiving some scout reports, I decide to approach a youngster to sign with us. The kid is Clive Greenwood, a 17yo AM/F C who's described as a promising midfielder. He is currently on a unprotected contract but is considering a contract offer from Everton, of which he is a youth program graduate. He looks like a very determined kid (determintation=15) with pretty good work ethics (work rate=16) and pretty good pace (pace=17). The rest is somewhat ordinary, but I've seen many kids like that take jumps of up to 3 skill points in many skills in the first year they've bee in our system, so I feel we could work on his skills. I offer him what he wants, which is $2,200 per week.

Seeing how kids like Tom Howell, Craig Crane, and Chris Chapman are turning out, and the lack of such kids in the 18-19 age range, I think it would not be a bad idea to invest some of the $8M we have left in transfer budget on some kids for the future. A kid like Greenwood here could be a pretty solid player in three seasons, when he'd be about 20 years old but I realize now that with getting in the Premiership, I felt a lot of pressure to get a solid first/second team and I left my younth squad a bit to the side...

I'm done reporting what's been played this week see ya all on Monday...

I then learned that left winger Marcus Kelly twisted his knee and will miss one knee.
i'd miss one knee too. :)

awesome job, frogman!

That said, I dread the "We recommend he has surgery to ..." knowing i've just lost someone for 2-6 months at least.

[Desnudo]

Technically, both definitions are correct. You will never see that description unless the players current ability is high enough to qualify him for it, so...even if potential has nothing to do with it or does hardly matters, he'll still be a damn good player. Just in your case he's too dern slow.

Tell

Potential has everything to do with it. A wonderkid is someone that has a certain level of current ability and a certain level of potential ability. Two 18 year olds could have the exact same current ability level, but only one might be a wonderkid, based on their future potential. There are exact numbers of CA/PA that qualify someone as a Wonderkid, but that ruins the fun of it. ;)

I decide to make an offer to Bristol C on a 17yo promising winger of theirs, Peter Young. Young is an AM RLC valued at $1.65M and he already has some skills at 15 or above, while having many others in th 11-13 range. His pace is not world class isn't so bad at 13. I offer them $1.85M

The League Cup Semi Final draw happens today. The winner of our match with Swansea will get to play Manchester United in the first Semi Final (ouch) and the winner of the Sunderland/Aston Villa match will get to play Everton. I've never been this deep in the League Cup, but I think it's a two legs thing, as opposed to a one match at Wembley for the FA Cup.

League Match #16: we play Portsmouth at Loftus Road. They are currently in 13th place and are 5-4 favourites to win this game.

Our next game is our League Cup quarter final against Swansea on December 7.

Quincy Owusu Abeyie, Stephen Pearson, Andrew Johnson and David Marek Rozehnal are all sitting this one out.

This game is on TV and key men are presented as Youssouf Hersi for us and Yakubu for them. They point out that their explosive striker has scored 10 goals in 17 appearances so far this season.

Skysports.com's prediction is as follows: A draw is on the cards in this game as I can see Q.P.R. and Portsmouth cancelling each other out. Not one for the neutral in my opininon.

They last played on November 26 and show many players at 100%, while we last played on November 30.

Danny Shittu lets Yakubu run unchallenged in the 27th minute and that can't lead to good stuff. He puts us down by one. We're playing sloppy defense early on, especially the two centrebacks whom are both rated at 6 at this point.

The half ends with us down 0-1. We're outshooting them 6(2) to 1(1). That was their lone foray into our zone and we're winning possession with 64% at this point, but dang, no goals to show for it!

We rectify that in the 63rd minute, when César Augusto Fawcett moves the ball on the left, passing it to Chris Chapman. Chapman's center to Igor Nadal Lázaro on the penalty spot is perfect and Lázaro scores the equalizer.

But dang, we just can't score another one!!!

Final Score: 1-1

We outshot them 13(5) to 5(2) and kept controlling the ball in the second half with 63% in that half.

Their keeper is named Man of the Match with a rating of 8. Craig Crane is the only one rated above 7 on our side, with a 8, while Anthony Vanden Borre has a down game, rating at 6. Even though he got rated at 7, James Collins definitely makes me nervous during games...

We move back up to 8th with the draw, ahead of Arsenal who just lost...

The draw for the 3rd round of the FA Cup happens and woah! This will be our first round and we've been drawn to play Birmingham on their pitch. They are having a great season so far and currently in 3rd place in the EPL, so this won't be an easy one. The game will be played on January 7.

Our bid for Peter Young is accepted and we can offer him a contract. He wants $1800 per week with a $56k signing fee, but as a first team player. I don't want to mirepresent, so I will offer him a contract as a "hot prospect" that's one thing that's for sure. Bruno Conti recommends offering him a contract worth around $1400 per week. I offer him $1500 per week with a signing fee of $70k, as a hot prospect.

December 6, 2011
Clive Greenwood signs a new contract with Everwood. He didn't really acknowledged our offer. I see he's still valued at $1.65 so I offer Eferton that. We'll see...

sorry, just realized I forgot to save the lineup screen...

League Cup Quarter Final: we play Swansea at Loftus Road. They're currently in 2nd place of League One and we're 4-6 favourites to win this game.
Our next game is on December 10 against Middlesbrough.

Swansea also played on December 4, just like us.

Marcus Kelly isn't ready to play so I start Stephen Pearson. Chris Chapman is backing him up.

Clemens Fritz is on the bench as Matt Cross gets the start at right wing.

Ben Watson is in for Anthony Vanden Borre at the DMC spot.

Ross McCormack is on the bench while Quincy Owusu Abeyie and Andrew Johnson start at striker.

A sweet long throw in from Ben Watson goes all the way from the sideline to the edge of their 6 yard box, where Andrew Johnson tips it toward the goal. He lucky, the keeper didn't expect the ball and it goes in, up 1-0 and AJ didn't even mean it!!!

The half ends with us ahead 1-0. While we're outshooting them 5(3) to 2(1), we're not absolutely dominating them. We are still getting a good possession figure at 57%.

In the 73rd minute, Stephen Pearson helps us put in the insurance goal when he centers it to the far post, away from the keeper. Quincy Owusu Abeyie is facing an empty net and he doesn't screw up. Up 2-0!

Final score: 2-0

We outshot them 15(6) to 2(1) on the game, taking control in the second half.

Chris Chapman is selected Man of the Match after playing only the last 45 minutes of the game on the left wing. He got rated at 8 and had 11 runs past opponents. I switched Stephen Pearson, who also got a rating of 8, to the right side at the half after seeing him cross 2 consecutive balls into the side netting. I realized at that point that, even though Pearson is marked as an AM RLC, he's not at his best on the left side, in part because of the way his long balls curl from left to right, and in part because I had the left winger set to cross to the far post, usually because Kelly takes the ball to the byline and crosses over the crowd to somebody who's wide open on the other side. See, with the way Pearson's ball curls, it goes out of bounds and comes back in, or in the case of the 2 balls I mentionned earlier, it never came back and simply died in the side netting. Always nice to see you're players (okay your little dots ;)) in action and see how they actually perform in a position of another. I also found it nice to see that Chapman was able to hold his own on the wing.

Finally, Ben Watson had a great game at the DMC spot, ending the game with a rating of 8 too. Youssouf Hersi had a down game, rating at 6.

We've been awarded $360k for our win and we're through to the Semi Final. We'll play Machester United and it's indeed a two games series with the first leg to be played at Loftus Road on January 11. The second leg will be on their pitch on January 25.

Following the game, I receive some raving review of a young striker currently on Everton's U18 squad. The kid is a 16yo phenom named Jason Wilson and my scout tells me he's been mightily impressed by the young striker and he believes I would be signing a star of the future. The last time I got a review this good, I ended up making a bid to get Tom Howell. The compensation is set at $1.9M and he will turn 17 on December 19, so in only 12 days. He wants $420 per week with a signing fee of $240k. My first thought is that it's one big signing fee for a kid this young. Bruno Conti recommends offering up to $500 per week. Kinda weird, but the board must agree with me regarding the signing fee since they will only allow me to offer him a signing fee up to $20k. To make up for it, I offer Wilson a contract worth $500 per week with a signing fee of $20k as a hot prospect.

Peter Young is ecstatic to have agreed terms with us. The 17yo promising winger said he is very keen to rise to the challenge of playing for such an illustrious club. As you'll see in his profile, the kid has a fairly good skill set and is a fairly good worker. He's seen some first-team play already and could probably be used for depth in case of a bad injury rash. The move will go through when the next transfer window reopens on Januarys 1st.

Our bid for Clive Greenwood has been rejected. I offer Everton $1.85M for him.

League Match #17: we play Middlesbrough at Loftus Road. They're currently 17th teethering on the edge of the drop zone. We're 6-4 favourites and frankly, I'm shocked!!! Good shocked, but shocked nonetheless :)

Our next game is in Sweden, against Malmö FF, on December 14.

While looking at his player profile, I see that Marcus Kelly has upped his wage demands to $75k from previously about $69k. Bruno Conti now recommends a wage of $54k for him, saying he thinks he's an essential member of our first team. Now could be a good time to make him an offer. He wants $75k per week with a signing fee of $900k, and a minimum fee release clause set at $19.5M, for a 3 year deal. I don't mind a minimum fee set that high, so I leave it in. I offer him $55k per week with a signing fee of $1M. That would represent some good savings compared to the $68k I had him budgeted at. He is earning only $6,600 at the moment so that will be a big increase for him and a big increase in our total wages, possibly pushing me over budget.

Speaking of Kelly, he is now back from his injury, at a 90% condition, same as Tom Howell. Both are match fit and both will see time in this game, with Kelly starting and Howell coming in from the bench.

Clemens Fritz is also on the bench.

Igor Nadal Lázaro and Keigan Parker are ineligible for our Euro Cup game, so they will see plenty of playing time in this game while I rest some of my other strikers.

They show a 5-3-2 formation with up arrows on the wingbacks. They played on December 4th, while we played on December 7.

The first half ends scoreless but dang! we are outshooting them 9(3) to 1(1). We're winning possession with 65% split 6-19-40, but we just couldn't convert one... I sub out both wingers.

We come out clawing in the second half and only 37 seconds into it, a Clemens Fritz throw in falls to the feet of Igor Nadal Lázaro who centers it perfectly to Tom Howell who scores his first ever goal as a Ranger! Wow, never realized he had never scored a competitive goal for us. Up 1-0!

Youssouf Hersi adds to our lead in the 68th minute, converting a nice center from Tom Howell. Up 2-0!

In the 82nd minute, after a center from Keigan Parker had been headed clear of the 6 yards box, Anthony Vanden Borre picks the loose ball and blasts a bending, curling, twisting banana shot from 30 yards out. The keeper is hypnotized by the beauty of that shot and it goes in for the 3-0 goal. That's VB's 5th of the season.

Final Score: 3-0

We outshot them 24(11) to 4(1) on the game :eek:

Anthony Vanden Borre is selected as Man of the Match with a rating of 9. He got hot around the time he scored his goal, but before that, he was rated at 6 for a long time on that game...

Craig Crane, César Augusto Fawcett, Igor Nadal Lázaro, Clemens Fritz and Tom Howell all got rated at 8.

We move up to 6th place, only 2 points away from 3rd place!

Jason Wilson agrees to terms with us. He made it known to the media that he is happy to come work with me as his new boss. As with Peter Young, the move will go through on January 1st, at which point we will pay Everton a compensation of $1.9M. The good news is Wilson will be 17yo when he comes to Loftus Road.

(note: I now only realize I forgot to save a player profile for him. I'll grab one the next time I'll play and will post it out of sequence. Sorry about that.)

December 12, 2011
Anthony Vanden Borre is selected on the English Premier Division Team of the Week. That's a first for him since getting with us.

December 13, 2011
Our latest bid for Clive Greenwood has been rejected. I decide to let it go, seeing how he is now valued at $4M. I guess he would have been a nice steal if I had been able to sign him when his contracted was unprotected, but now, I'm not gonna pay $4M for a "project" player...

Dang! Bolton have offered Bruno Conti their Manager position. We will be due $800k if the deal goes ahead. That would also mean I'd have to go get a new assistant...

December 14, 2011
Marcus Kelly agrees to terms on a lucrative 3 year deal worth $7.2M. GRRRRREAT!!! I like him and he plays well for us, maybe over his head, if you only look at the numbers next to his skills, but he fits well into our team.

Euro Cup Group B, Match #4: we're in Sweden to play Malmö FF. They are currenlty tied with Athletic Club with both teams at 3 points in Group B. We are 6-4 favourites to win this game.

We are catching a break in the upcoming schedule since our December 16 match against Liverpool has been pushed back to January with Liverpool playing in the Club World Championship. Because of that, our next game is only on Dcember 21.

I rest some players anyway, playing some that don't often see the field with the first-team squad, given that this is a meaningless game for us.

We've been blasting away at their goal for the first 34 minute when they get a free kick just outside our penalty area. Their kick taker kicks it through our and the ball is deflected, giving them the lead, 0-1, on their first shot of the game.

Only 3 minutes have passed after that goal when Marcus Kelly swings a sweet looking pass to Quincy Owusu Abeyie. He fakes the keeper out of his short first, then out of his underwear, before burying the ball in an empty net.

The half ends in a 1-1 tie. We're outshooting them 7(3) to 2(0). See how far from the goal that first shot for them was, it didn't register as being on target, yet they got a goal out of it.

We take the lead in the 50th minute when Abeyie scores his second of the game, converting a nice pass from Andrew Johnson who was deep on the right wing.

In the 55th minute, they do it again! Another free kick, again just outside our penalty area, and again, it's deflected by the wall (a wall of two), causing Kasper Schmeichel to jump on one side while the ball got in on the other side.

In the 73rd minute, Craig Crane plays a sweeeeeeet long pass over the head of Andrew Johnson. AJ runs under it and takes it in strides. He attempts a shot with absolutely no angle, yet the ball goes in off the post for the go ahead goal. Up 3-2!

Craig Crane receives his second yellow of the game in the 79th minute. With no subs left, I drop Li Tie to the right fullback spot and we got to a 4-1-3-1 formation. We hang on for the win!!!

Final Score: 3-2

We outshot them 17(7) to 7(4).

Quincy Owusu Abeyie is selected as Man of the Match with his 2 goals, 5 shots on target out of 7 and a form rating of 10. Six other players got rated at 8: Schmeichel, Howell, Biscan, Kelly, Pearson, and AJ.

CSKA won 2-1 over Athletic Club and with that win, combined to the loss we inflicted to Malmö, they move ahead of both club and capture the final qualification spot in our group. We've been awarded $160k for that last win. We end the Group Stage with 4 wins in 4 games, sweeet!!!

As you can see, other than Fulham, who are in an incredible funk right now and fighting for survival in the EPL too, all the teams from England that qualified for Group Stage have made it through to the 1st Knockout Round.

Craig Crane has been banned for one European Match for his sending off in the game.

Marcus Kelly suffered a thigh strain and will miss 5 days. He's been nicked a bit more lately and feared asking my physios about their opinion on him. Yeah, what I thought too. They recommend I send him see a specialist. Said specialist says it will be 3 weeks of physiotherapy before he's back to normal. Dang!

Well, what had to happen is happening as I get the news that Bruno Conti took the Bolton hot seat. We receive $809k as compensation and the seearch for a new assistant starts now.

Before I go on to find his replacement, I decide to go publicly and praise my friend Bruno Conti. I really felt like the Italian was a friend. He was the first assistant I ever hired that had some sort of reputation and some sort of skills with people. I'm sure in some way, he helped the team get to where it is now. Maybe it's all sentimental and it might not be all that important, but I like to think otherwise :)

Once that media appearance over, I decide to place an advert for an assistant manager.

I also start looking for dudes with very high skill in judging talent, and potential in players and also good at man management, somewhat disciplined, and good at motivating the team. A bit like Conti was.

I find a scout on Arsenal's staff, Julian Hudson, who fits the bill pretty well. The guy may be only a scout, but I'm sure he could be a manager somewhere someday. He has gained a world class reputation from working on Arsenal's staff and with it, could help me bring higher profile players into the fold, and with the skills I see in him, I'm pretty sure he'd be good at helping me whenever I approach a player to sign with us. One thing though. When I approach him to sign on with us, he says it would take a very large offer for him to even consider agreeing terms on a contract with us. Hrm, he is currently earning $3,400 as a scout with Arsenal and my board allows me to offer him up to $15,000 as my assistant. Seeing how Bruno Conti was paid $10,000 per week, I offer Hudson $15,000 with a signing fee of $20k. We'll have to pay a compensation of $260k to Arsenal if the deal goes ahead. Considering we received $809k from Bolton for Conti, that'd be a sweet deal.

December 16, 2011
Bruno Conti sends back the prais to me, referring to me as his friend.

And guess what? That friendship will be put to a test, as we will be playing Bolton in the Euro Cup 1st Konockout round. The first leg is set to be played on February 16 at Loftus Road and the second leg to be played on February 23rd on their pitch.

The 2nd Knockout round draw happens already, which is kind of weird. Anyway, the winner of our series will play the winner of Wisla/Betis.

Julian Hudson has agreed a deal with us. I guess he thought it was better to be an assistant at this up and coming club, aka Q.P.R., than simply a scout on a big staff like Arsenal's. You can take a peek at his profile by clicking the thumbnail below.

If you want, you can compare him with Bruno Conti. Here's his profile:

We pay Arsenal $260k in compensation, leaving us with almost a net gain of $550k from the change. Not bad :)
I decide that now may be a good time to offer contracts to players I'd like to keep beyond June 2012.

First off, Fábio Rochemback. He's wants $64k per week with a signing feee of $800k for a 2 years deal. Julian Hudson, in his first bit of work for us, recommends only up to $34k, saying he's a useful member of the squad. Roch is currently earning $26.5k per week and I decide to offer him $36.5k per week with a signing fee of $800k and a 10% yearly wage raise clause, but for a 3 year deal. Kind of a fishing trip...

Craig Crane wants $26.5k per week, with a signing fee of $340k and 15% yearly wage raise for a 3 year deal. Hudson recommends a deal around $16k per week. He is currently earning only $3,400 per week. I offer him $17.5k per week, with no change to any other clauses.

Chris Chapman want $24.5k per week with a signing fee of $90k and 15% yearly wage raise for a 3 year deal as a first team player. Hudson recommends only $11.5k per week. I offer him $17.5k per week with a signing fee of $130k and 15% yearly wage raise, but as a player on squad rotations. I can't promise him a spot in the first team.

I also see that Keigan Parker's demands are down to about $34k per week from his initial demands of $64k. He could be a good signing for depth if I could get him to sign for the same as his current wage of $25k.

It's interesting that lately you sometimes seem to have problems converting shots to goals. In your match with Malmo FF and with Portsmouth, it seemed like you had a crazy number of shots (especially compared to your opponent), yet the score reflects a close game. Is there any reason (other than luck) that the goal conversion happens like that sometimes yet other times comes out huge (6-0!)? :)

Love it as always, looking forward to more.

grrr, had a long reply posted but internet ate it, bah...

Was saying that sometimes not getting the goals is because we get to face a keeper that gets hot at the right time, very often leading to him getting the MoM. If an opposing keeper doesn't play well in a game where we're the ones getting hot, they often get beaten badly :)

Some other times, as with the Malmo game, we didn't have as many of our star starters as usual and even though we get the shots, they're maybe more a product of our system than the pure abilities of the players in place, or so I feel...

thanks also for the good words. There's still a tiny bit of unreported stuff and I'm getting ready to fire up the game to play some, and in a renovated stadium, no less!!! :)

There's something fishy about the match engine, since every human team goes through phases where they are getting ridiculous amounts of shots on target and are not scoring. It sometimes happens in real life, look at Man U this season, but it seems to happen too regularly in FM. I don't know if it was coded intentionally, I somehow doubt, but it certainly seems to happen with enough regularity to note.

[FrogMan]

I agree that you sometimes get into dry spells with the scoring. I remember talking about it and we sort of concluded it was in part due to being in January-February with worse weather...

Another thing I'm seeing is injury rashes. You can be all right for a couple months, then you'll get a six month's worth of injury in 2 weeks. Then you'll be all right for 2, 3 months, then boom again. It makes it really tough if you don't have very good depth, but then, with that good depth, you can't keep everybody happy during the "healty" months...

The SUPERKEEPER FROM HELL period. Oh, yeah. How I loath it. I usually get frustrated enough to stop playing CM/FM for awhile and boot up other games when I get this. I understand their reasoning for doing it but I don't agree with the method and I think it's ridiculous.

Still the best damn game there is so I suppose I should stop bitching since Marc ignores my posts anyhow.

I don't understand any reasoning for doing it, not in a streak of games. I mean, I can see it happening that you play one team and their keeper gets hot, and I mean red hot and he's stopping everything. But not the keeper of 3 or 4 opponents IN A ROW, against whom you put 10+ shots on target and can only score one or not at all...

It is indeed the best game there is, imho anyway, so when I get through these phases (superkeeper or stoopid injury rash) I rationalize that they do it because I just too good for the machine :D Or I start looking through my players and I spread out my game simming a little. I can only take so many 0-0 draws or 0-1 losses in a row in one evening of playing...

Jason Wilson agrees to terms with us. He made it known to the media that he is happy to come work with me as his new boss. As with Peter Young, the move will go through on January 1st, at which point we will pay Everton a compensation of $1.9M. The good news is Wilson will be 17yo when he comes to Loftus Road.

(note: I now only realize I forgot to save a player profile for him. I'll grab one the next time I'll play and will post it out of sequence. Sorry about that.)


Here is the player profile for promising striker Jason Wilson who will join us on January 1st. He just turned 17 a few days ago so yeah he will need some work. I'd call him a project player...

We receive three contract rejections, but all three are willing to negotiate some more.

Fábio Rochemback's contract offer is upped to $38.5k for 2 years, the rest is unchanged.

Craig Crane's contract offer is upped to 19k per week, the rest is unchanged.

Chris Chapman is a funny guy though as he doesn't believe that Q.P.R. have the resources to meet his demands now. Kid, you are 20 years old and you're not going anywhere without me getting some sort of compensation and you're valued at $2.4M. I break off talks for now...

December 21, 2011
Craig Crane has put pen to paper on a lucrative 3 year deal worth $2.6M. That's good. The kid has played pretty well on the right full back spot, freeing Anthony Vanden Borre to be used in the DMC spot...

Fábio Rochemback rejects our latest offer but is still willing to negotiate. He still wants $64k per week and Hudson still recommends $34k per week. I drop my offer, but I make it a one year deal, at $37k per week, with a signing fee of $400k. I also drop the $10% relegation wage drop clause. I don't think it will matter, but it could be a negative component of the deal.

League Match #18: we play Sunderland at Loftus Road. They are currently in 14th place and we're 6-4 favourites to win this game.

This is supposed to be our last match before the end of the renovations on our stadium. They are supposed to be done on December 23. Our next game is at home on December 26, against Birmingham.

David Marek Rozehnal suffered a chest injury on December 17 and still has one day left before being completely healthy.

Birmingham have 5 injuries on their senior squad roster... They played on Decmeber 17 while we last played on December 14.

Stephen Pearson has to leave the game in the 35th minute, injured. Clemens Fritz takes his place.

The half ends scoreless. We are outshooting them 5(3) to 2(0). We're spending tons of time on their end but are not getting the quality shots.

Final Score: 0-0

AAAARRRRRGGGG!!!! We turned it on in the second half and end the game outshooting them 13(8) to 5(3). We controlled the ball 65% of that second half, split 4-25-36.

Their keeper is named Man of the Match with a rating of 9. I HATE WONDERKEEPERS!!!

Kasper Schmeichel played well for us too, getting the only 8 of the team.

We drop toe 7th still with a game on hand, but now 4 points out of 3rd place.

Stephen Pearson suffered a damaged elbow and will miss a week. Looks like we're going through a double smash of bad streaks: wonderkeepers & terpkristinitis... :(

Interesting fact: Liverpool won 2-0 over Chicago in the Club World Championship. I had never heard of the Championship before...

Worksop want Joe Marshall on loan for 3 months. The usual, they would pay 100% of his wage and I could recall him, not sure why I'd need to, but heh. I accept their offer.

Fábio Rochemback rejects our latest offer. I'm not offering him anything better for now, simply reoffering him the same I just did. For now, Anthony Vanden Borre has played much better than Roch in the DMC spot, but I'll have to find a replacement/upgrade for the position eventually...

Remember Stuart Cross? The guy with the hat trick on the video? Well, my scouts reported back on him and they are split. One says he would add depth to the squad and the other thinks he has no future in football. I think I'll pass...

Fábio Rochemback resumes full training following his groin injury. He missed one month and is now non-officially nicknamed "ticking bomb" because I decided to have him skip surgery... :)

AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Our renovated stadium is ready!!! The stadium expansion which added 7002 seats is now officially done. We're up to 26,150 seats at Loftus Road now. This is not all that big, but it's at least bigger that the 19,148 it was before, and even better than the smallish 18,000 seats we had during renovations...

League Match #19: we play Birmingham at Loftus Road. They are currently in 3rd place and are 5-4 favourites to win this game.

As I said before, we got a case of terpkristinitis going, look at this:
Stephen Pearson is still out because of the injury suffered in our last game.
Craig Crane suffered a damaged shoulder in training on 12/24, 3 days from fully healthy.
Ben Watson suffered a strained neck in training on 12/25, 4 days from fully healthy
Fábio Rochemback still not really healthy enough to play following his groing injury.

Our next game is in 2 days, on December 28. Ouch, I really hate that crazy late December/early January stretch.

We're going in this game with a very defensive setting, hoping to catch a break somehow. Both teams last played on December 21.

Igor Nadal Lázaro hits the post in the 10th minute, DANG!

They playe a long pass in the 13th minute. Danny Shittu was overeager to get to the passer who simply flicked the ball passed him and they score to make it 0-1. It's their first shot of the game, on target or not, while we have 3 already, 2 of them on target. We are controlling the ball well damnit!

AAAARRRRGGGG! Ross McCormack hits the post in the 23rd minute. Come on guys, we gotta convert these shots!!!

The half ends with us down 0-1. We are outshooting them 5(3) to 4(2) and we're very much in contention in this game.

Youssouf Hersi got knicked late in the half. No green cross, but his condition has dropped to 71%. I put Matt Cross in his place and put Clemens Fritz in the game on the right wing.

A great long pass from César Augusto Fawcett ahead of Tom Howell is the start a great sequence that leads to our equalizer. Howell ran to the ball and crossed it amazingly well, to the far post, where Clemens Fritz was waiting, unmarked. He scores the 1-1 goal with a precise strike.

Fritz has the winning goal at his feet in the 84th minute, following a corner kick, but he misses the goal!

Final Score: 1-1

We worked them hard, an amazing game! Final shots tally came to 12(9) for us, 13(7) for them. I think we proved that we belong with the top 5 teams in the EPL.

Clemens Fritz is named Man of the Match with a rating of 10. He scored a goal and had 10 runs past opponents in the 45 minutes he played.

César Augusto Fawcett, Danny Shittu, and Tom Howell all got rated at 8 while Kasper Schmeichel only got rated at 5, grrrr. Their keeper got rated at 9, wonderkeeper anyone?

We move up to 6th with the win and wow, I see that Arsenal are now up to 5th place.

26,066 spectators we're in at Loftus Road tonight to celebrate the opening of the renovated stadium! This is a new Q.P.R. record!

The terpkristinitis continues as Igor Biscan suffered a calf strain in the game. Initial diagnosis was two weeks but my physios recommended to send him to a specialist, which I did. Diagnosis remained unchanged. It'll be 2 weeks of physiotherapy for Biscan the old geezer...

The 3 month loan of Justin Wall at Kidderminster ends and he comes back to Q.P.R. He indicates that he found that loan to be a complete waste of time. He believes that playing with a team at that level taught him very little and believes he would have learnt more during the time if he had remained at Q.P.R during the period. I may try to give him a bit more playing time with the senior squad, sometimes as a bench player. After all, he is still a 19yo promising striker...

Again, frigging injury on match day. AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGG!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:
This time, it's Igor Nadal Lázaro who will be out 3 weeks with a back strain. sheesh!

Keigan Parker goes to the media declaring that he is far from happy at not being part of my first eleven. According to The Guardian, the 29 year old striker believes he merits a place in my plans but realises that he might be forced to leave if the situation doesn't change. His contract is about to become unprotected, as it runs out on June 30, 2012. I'm still unsure if I want to offer him a new contract, if so, it would have to be for a kind of cheap wage and I'm not sure he'll want that. With that statement today, I'm pretty sure he won't be happy with less playing time either...

League Match #20: we play Tottenham on their pitch. They are currently in 8th place and are evens favourites to win this game.

Looking at their roster, I see a whole lot of players with low morale. Turns out they just got pummeled by Portsmouth, 0-5, only 2 days ago. They have two players suspended for today's game. One is for having been sent off in their last game, the other is for having collected 5 yellows.

Our next match is again Wolves on January 1st.

Many unusual starters in this game: Li Tie in the DMC spot, Chris Chapman on the left wing, James Collins at centreback, and Keigan Parker at striker.

Overall, our condition is low, but looks a tad better than theirs.

They take the lead in the 31st minute, as we let them come to the goal from the right.

The halftime score is 0-1 and while shots are fairly even at 6(1) for us and 6(3) for them, we just were not in the game toward the end of the half.

The second half doesn't start well, as Anthony Vanden Borre is a bit too agressive and is calle for bodychek in our penalty area, the ref needs to look at his assistant, what a bullshit call, PENALTY!!! The player takes his run, but he kicks it straight to Kasper Schmeichel wo holds on to it, no rebound!!!

Ross McCormack takes a free kick from just outside their penalty area in the 63rd minute. The kick is perfect, going just over their wall, but IT HITS THE POST!!!

Chris Chapman is possibly a bit to anxious to look good in a rare starting performance and he keeps getting called for fouls after fouls and eventually, in the 67th minute, he receives his second yellow. He's sent off. Both yellows came after he grabbed an opponent's jersey. I won't warn him like I did for Fábio Rochemback, since I can live better with a kid who is overeager than with an old Brazilian who only wants to whine to the ref..

Down one man with a bit over 20 minutes to go, I have no choice but to push the team forward a bit more, asking them to attack even more, at the risk of conceding a late goal, or two.

Final Score: 0-1

DAMNIT!!! We fought with all we had, with the players we had on the field, but we just couldn't convert that one goal we needed. They outshot us 15(6) to 10(4), but that had to be expected with one less man on the field and with everybody trying to pump long balls to the strikers. We had a few great chances, coming close, but we kept being denied entry into their penalty area...

César Augusto Fawcett is named Man of the Match with a rating of 9. Danny Shittu received a rating of 8, while Andrew Johnson, not unfit Keigan Parker, had a bad game as a stiker, with a 6.

We drop to 10th with the loss.

Chris Chapman will be banned one match for his sending off.

That late December/early January is a tough stretch to go through without injuries, imagine when you're missing guys left and right... sigh... And now, at least for the last two games, we're not only dealing with wonderkeepers, but also with wondergoalposts, sigh...

BOOOOO! Arsène Wenger is going public, saying he may try to bring defender, and tackling machine, Joeren Broost from Feyenoord to his Manchester City side. They say it would take a bid of $14M to bring pry him away from Feyenoord. If you remember, we had him, on a $16M bid, but his wage requests were too rich for my blood and I was never able to get him to sign with us. Again, I think I remember saying that the 26yo centreback was averaging something like 14 tackles per game with pretty good positioning and pace, allowing him to be around the ball almost at will...

December 31, 2011
It's the waltz of email notices regarding players on my shortlist that are entering the 6 months period prior to their contracts running out.

Computing wage numbers for where we are now and where we should be in June, I come up with the following. Our current total wages are a bit higher than the budget allowed of $700k, at $720k right now. Not taking into account any wage adjustment based on a specific deals with percent yearly wage raise, I come up with a total wage for the team of about $615k if I resign Chris Chapman to a $20k deal, but without resigning Rochemback. This gives us a tiny bit of room. If I resign Rochemback to a $50k deal, this figure goes up to $665k and I just don't know if our wage budget will go up or not. I'm thinking that it may not go up by much this season, since it has gone up considerably in the last two season. Maybe it still could, considering we should be able to generate a better income with a stadium that is 36.5% bigger now than it was a season ago.

I'll get back to two possible signees in a moment, but first, here are the current members of our squad that I don't plan to offer contract to in the next six months: Jeppe Lund Curth, Marc Bircham, Keigan Parker, Nathan Jameson, Matthew Bates, Scott Donnelly. I may offer a contract to David Marek Rozehnal, depending on if I decide to sign a younger centreback or not, and I will definitely make a push to sign Chris Chapman before his contract runs out.

Two players catch my eye among the ones on my shortlist. The first is Kim Kallstrom, a 29yo AM C currently playing with Wes Brom. The dude is valued at $21M, with continental reputation and is a frigging form machine. He wants $50k per week and a hefty signing fee of $1.95M for a 2 year deal. I offer him $45k and a signing fee of $1M for a 3 year deal. That's a lowball offer, but we're very early in the "free agency" period. (I know it's not a free agency period per se, but I liken to one because I find it very similar to it)

The other player is Gianni Zeinerloon (I probably botched his name right here, I can't even decipher my own writing on that one :)), a 25yo D RC who's described as a centreback. He's got 20's in numerous important skills for a centreback. He is currently considering an offer from Leverkusen, so this could all be in vain but I try my luck anyway. He want $59k per week with a signing fee of $1.35M for a 3 year deal. I offer him $57k per week and a signing fee of $1.25M for a 3 year deal. He is valued at $11.5M and at only 25 years of age, he could present a good balance between youth and experience for the centreback position.

These two signings, if they happen which is somewhat doubtful, would put us at $717k or about of wages if I don't resign Rochemback, but at close to $770k if I resign him. We'll see how this works out...

Not so much as comments as questions . . .
I understand the whole promotion/demotion thing, but all the different types of matches confuse me (friendlys?)--as does the loan system for players and, well alot of things. Is there a nice primer you could reference me to so I can understand what is going on in these football threads?

Friendlies are basically preseason games that don't count for anything other than getting your players in shape to play the regular season when it starts. Teams are responsible to book their own friendlies, and other than trying to make a few bucks, it doesn't really matter who you play against in these games.

Loans are pretty straightforward. When you loan a player, he simply plays on your team for a period of time but will eventually go back to his team when his loan is over. Depending on how the loan deal was negotiated, you could pay nothing of his salary, or part of it, or even his whole salary, for the time he's with you...

I have sort of a primer in Marc Vaughan's hints & tips guide for CM4. It's not specifically for FM2005, but it could probably help you out, or at least help you understand some little things you're having a hard time with. Send me your email address by PM and I will email you the document.

January 1st, 2012
It's the beginning of a new year and lots of interesting stuff is happening.

First off, the Team Board is still delighted with my work as manager. Always good to hear :)

Craig Crane is selected the English Premier Division Young Player of the Month, making it the second month in a row that a Ranger has won that award, after Tom Howell won it in November. Crane had league games rated at 8, 8, and 7 in December.

Speaking of Tom Howell, he comes in second for this same award, giving him a first place finish and a second place finish in back to back month, sweeeeet! :) He had games rated at 7, 8, 7, and 8.

Anthony Vanden Borre's long range curling shot goal against Middlesbrough on December 10 is selected as Goal of the Month.

Also today is the day that the transfer windo opens, especially important for the teams in the Premiership. With only $4.6M left in our transfer budget, I'm not too sure I'll be making a big splash on the market at this point. That, and I'm pretty happy with how the team has played so far this season, even with the little rough stretch we're going through at the moment.

Speaking of rough stretch (I'm getting pretty good at linking between stories, don't you think? ;)) I hear that Ben Watson suffered a calf strain in training today. Initially thought to be missing 2 weeks, that period of inactivity is pushed to 4 weeks the minute he steps into the physiotherapist's office. That a blow...

The day goes on as we welcome the two new youngsters, winger Peter Young, coming from Bristol C, and striker Jason Wilson, coming from Everton.

Young seems to be very ecstatic with the move and he says he can't wait to break into the first-team setup at Loftus Road. The $1.85M signing from Bristol C told journalists that he didn't expect to play straight away but hoped that if he gets his head down and works hard I will reward him with a first-team soon enough. The kid has got some skills, but we'll have to see about regular first team play...
Wilson has got the fans and the media all excited. Despite him being relatively unknown, the fans of Q.P.R. have been bombarding radio phone-ins to prais me for my vision on signing the hotly-tipped youngster. The 17yo striker has described himself as being pleased but daunted by the fans reaction and hopes to repay their faith in him by becoming an integral part of Q.P.R. first team in the future. (this is mostly word-for-word what was written in the email I received, how can you not become attached to your players with stuff like that? this game is amazing :))

And as I said, not only the fans are excited, but the media are somewhat curious about the young phenom who just turned 17. A journalist fro the Daily Star approaches me with this question: "The signing of Jason Wilson has really fired the imagination of the club's fans. To you think this anticipation is completely justified?" Hrm, I don't really like the options I have to reply to him (he will undoubtedly play a major role for us//he will definitely bring more quality to the side//no comment//he will need time to settle in first//he needs to prove to me that he deserves a major role in my team) and I go with a somehow safe answer, saying something along the line of "Let's not get too carried away. He will need time to settle in first". Honestly, I would have wanted some way of saying something like "the kid is a project, but he'll be very good someday" but I felt like all the responses dealt with how he could play with the team *right now* and my view is that, well, he won't. My response translates as a suggestion that Jason will have some work to do before he makes the first team. Well, that's pretty close to what I wanted to say, but the kid didn't like it. His "General Happiness" says he is "unhappy with my recent comments and is starting to wonder if he has a future at the club". Wow, not even half a day spent at the Loftus Road and he's already unhappy, that is nice...

I also see that his contract is unprotected and only runs through June 30, 2012, probably since he was signed as a 16yo. He wants $3,200 per week and a $190k signing fee to sign his first professional contract. Dang, all that media attention got to his head...

Back to the fans, in the confidence screen, it says that they believe he will develop into a quality player in the future.

With the Bosman hunt going full blast, I spot a player with a unprotected contract that could be an interetsted signing, but not as a Bosman signing. Giovanni Dos Santes is a 22yo AM C with very sound skills. He's currently fearing for his job at Barcelona and is on a month-to-month unprotected part-time contract. Compensation if signed without the approval of the Barcelona would come to $5.4M, but he has a minimum release fee clause at $2.4M. He wants a $68k wage per week on direct signing though. I offer them the minimum fee and we'll see what happens. I expect everybody else to follow suit, as Chelsea, Manchester United, Lazio, and Deportivo are all interested in the kid. We are the first to make a bid though.

All of this happened on January 1st, before we played our game agains Wolves, phew... :)

I don't understand any reasoning for doing it, not in a streak of games. I mean, I can see it happening that you play one team and their keeper gets hot, and I mean red hot and he's stopping everything. But not the keeper of 3 or 4 opponents IN A ROW, against whom you put 10+ shots on target and can only score one or not at all...

It is indeed the best game there is, imho anyway, so when I get through these phases (superkeeper or stoopid injury rash) I rationalize that they do it because I just too good for the machine :D Or I start looking through my players and I spread out my game simming a little. I can only take so many 0-0 draws or 0-1 losses in a row in one evening of playing...

I think what he's referring to is that it's their solution to stopping Diablo-type tactics that found holes in the match engine and exploited them. Restricting scores to be more realistic, to avoid the seven goals a game you were able to average in CM 03/04. During the natural course of this type of match calculation, you're going to encounter stretches where the match results are 0-0, or 0-1, despite continually having superior firepower.

Pure speculation, but, like I said before, something does smell fishy.

League Match #21: we play Wolves at Loftus Road. They are currently struggling and sitting at the bottom spot in the league, 20th with only 1 win, 2 draws, and 18 losses. We're 5-4 favourites to win this game, but that has me worried. They have many players (almost everyone) at "very poor" morale, but with the way we've been hitting posts, facing wonderkeepers, getting injured, I take nothing for granted. They have a starting middie who is suspended and a starting striker who just got injured. On top of that, they also have many other injuries, 6 in all, including former Ranger and Hatter, Keith Keane, who broke his shoulder a few weeks ago.

For us now...
Chris Chapman is suspended for this game.
Craig Crane is back in the starting lineup, leaving Anthony Vanden Borre on the bench to possibly spell Fábio Rochemback who gets the start at DMC today.
I start Clemens Fritz on the right wing but I will sub him early if we take a good lead early on.
With our next game being in only three days against Liverpool, I decide to sit out Stephen Pearson and give the backup left winger spot to newly arrived Peter Young.

Marcus Kelly is only 2 days from resuming full training following his physiotherapy sessions.

We've spent most of the first 25 minutes inside their penalty area, but it takes a kick from the edge of the area by Fábio Rochemback to take the lead 1-0.

The half ends with us "only" leading by 1, despite dominating in scoring chances with 11(6) shots to nothing.

Clemens Fritz's condition is at 65%, he has to come out if I want him to have a shot at playing against Liverpool. Peter Young is called to make his debut.

Young plays it safe in his first few minutes on the field, not running too wildly with the ball, but he makes a nice center in the 56th minute. Youssouf Hersi puts his head to it and it deflected through a crowd of defenders before going in for the 2-0 goal. The kid gets an assist on his debut!

Rochemback plays a short corner to Tom Howell in the 79th minute. Howell centers it to Hersi on the edge of the penalty area. He kicks hard but the crowd is dense and his kick is deflected again before going in.

Final Score: 3-0

We outshot them 19(12) to 1(0). Ouch, no wonderkeepers to keep them in the game this time around...

Tom Howell is selected as Man of the Match with a rating of 9. Fábio Rochemback celebrated his return to first-team play with a rating of 9 too. Craig Crane, César Augusto Fawcett, Clemens Fritz, and Youssouf Hersi all got rated at 8. Just what the doctor ordered, a great morale boosting game.

We move up to 8th place with the win, still with a game on hand.

The team chairman just can't hide his delight over this win.

Following the game, both my scouts report back on a kid I had asked them to check out, David West, a 19yo centreback currently with Sunderland. His personality is described as professional already. Both of my scouts say they've been mightily impressed by the young central defender and both believe I would be signing a star of the future. Hmmm, interesting. Thing is, he is valued at $4.8M and I have only $4.6M left in transfer budget. Also, since he's almost a full time starter for Sunderland in the EPL, with 16 starts in league play so far this season, they will probably want more than his value... I'll keep him in my shortlist should we pull a sale before the deadline is over.

The Broeren soap opera is going on full blast. First, the manager of Feyenoor is saying he won't sell Broerer at any price. Err, can I remind you, kind sir, that you agreed to a fee of $16M in August?

Then later in the day, Joost Broeren added some fuel to the fire, saying he found it hard to dismis the rumours. The 26yo revealed that he would be torn between his loyalty to his current employer and the attraction of playing for a team like Man City should they come in for him. Me thinks it's almost a done deal... to be continued...

Fábio Rochemback celebrated his return to first-team football with a great game and today, he gets selected to the English Premier Division Team of the Week.

Coventry offers a contract to Jeppe Lund Curth. COVENTRY!!! THE ENGLISH CHAMPIONSHIP COVENTRY??? You bastage, if you agree to a deal with them, I promise to book a friendly with Coventry at Loftus Road and to make you suffer the same thing that happened to Golden Leg!!! (bonus points to anybody who knows what happened to Golden Leg and where the reference comes from ;))

Marcus Kelly resumes training after his physiotherap treatment. The specialist who treated him is optimistic that he's recovered fully from his injury.

Liverpool manager Rafa Benítez spoke highly of me in the media. In the build-up to our Premier Divison clash on Wednesday the 4th, he said that he truly hopes the best team win. He commented that I was a good manager and that I deserved every success with The Rs.

Danny Shittu, as always I should say, is happy I'm getting the praise I deserve, while Clemens Fritz, Ross McCormack and Anthony Vanden Borre all believe the team cannot fail to perform whilst under my guidance.

I decide to prais my friend Rafa Benítez.

While looking at Clemens Fritz's profile, it catches my eye that he is being scouted by Newcastle...

Oh, interesting twist of events as my chairman Bill Power tells me he would like to rais the club's profile by bringing in a high-profile player. Woah. Power added that a top signing could really put Q.P.R. on the map and creat a sense of excitement around Loftus Road. He also added that should I find the right player, the board is willing to allow me to exceed the current transfer budget, providing the amount concerned doesn't put the club's overall finances into the red.

Woah, I'm kind of shocked here, taken by surprise. Immediately, I go look what's left in the team's bank account and the tally comes to $17M, give or take a hundre thousand. Hmmm, interesting... I feel all gigly for a tiny moment, until I remember our wage budget stretched to its limit. Oh what the heck, and with that, I head to the transfer market... :D

Before I get to the market, I see that the ungrateful bastage, aka Jeppe Lund Curth, has agreed to terms with Coventry, the Coventry currently in 14th place in the Championship, the Coventry who has been in the Championship since 2001/02. Wow, so much for being ambitious and wanting to win trophies and all that crap... The move is set to happen on July 1st and I'm very curious to see what kind of contract he has agreed to... Remember what happen to Golden Leg, Jeppe, remember, and beware... MUHUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! :D

The media are back, asking about Jason Wilson and the excitement he is causing among our fans. I tell them I don't anything more to add.

Looking through players I have shortlisted, I spot one, a 24yo DM RC who would be perfect to take over Fábio Rochemback's spot at the DMC spot. He is a Frenchman named Ahmed Yahiaoui and he currently plays for Marseilles. He's got all the skills I'd like in a DMC, including good heading (see Desnudo, I listen to my readers, sometimes... ;)). He is valued at $11.5M, I offer them $10M and Keigan Parker as part exchange as a first offer. The total of the offer comes to $13.8M and I sort of expect it to be rejected, but I'll keep plowing. Manchester City also seem interested in him and that has me worried a bit, since they seem to have more money than us, based on some of the signings they did this season so far...

League Match #22: we play Liverpool on their pitch. They are currently in 9th place but they have two games on hand over most every other teams, thanks to them being part of the World Club Championship earlier in the season. By winning these two games, they could still only get up to a tie in 5th place and I guess this is why I see many unhappy players on their squad. They are 1-2 favourites to win this game.

I forgot to save the roster prior to the game and that's why you only get the stripped down, post-game version of it, sorry about that.

I start Anthony Vanden Borre at DMC for Fábio Rochemback.
Stephen Pearson is back in on the right wing, keeping Clemens Fritz on the bench to come in the second half.
Chris Chapman is back on the bench as Marcus Kelly is not ready to take the field yet.
We get to the field and I realize I forgot that they play that dang 4-2-3-1 formation. Had I scouted them properly, I would have seen that and probably would have changed our formation to a 4-2-2-2 with 2 DMC's. I drop Youssouf Hersi back and we go to a 4-2-2-2 formation anyway.

And the game starts with a bah. After only 4 minutes, they center a ball in, it's kicked in. Kasper Schmeichel barely flinched. Down 0-1.

We hit right back on a long break, a nice pass from Ross McCormack to Stephen Pearson who moves in on the keeper. He hits the post and I go "oh no!" but Tom Howell has just enough acceleration to get to the ball first, he scores the 1-1 goal.

The take back the lead in the 24th minute, on a very hard shot from 30 yards out. Schmeichel couldn't do a thing, but is confidence is shot, he's rating at 5 for now. Down 1-2.

They had to their lead in the 38th minute on a nice center headed in.

The halftime score is 1-3 but we're fighting our way in. Shots are 5(1) for us, 5(4) for them.

Only 3 minutes into the second half, it's Tom Howell over Ross McCormack's head, into space. He runs to the keeper and his shot his blocked but the keeper can't hold it and allows a long rebound which Andrew Johnson kicks in to give us a way back in the game. Still down, 2-3 now. We're still fighting.

There's a bit of confusion between Danny Shittu and Craig Crane in the 61st minute and the ball bounces between them to the feet of one of their strikers, Djibril Cissé to be exact. He gets it and we let him run, big mistake as he scores the 2-4 goal.

Final Score: 2-4

Shots stayed very close with 10(4) for us, 10(5) for them. It's a frustrating, yet somehow realistic loss. We go some injured players and Liverpool is still a very strong team. In fact, it's the team that has allowed the less goals in the league and we succeeded to score two on them.

Our back 4 and Schmeichel all got rated at 6, but it's probably because I asked the whole team to push forward quite a bit around the end of the game. Anthony Vanden Borre finished the game with a rating of 8.

We drop to 9th place with the loss.

Following the game, I see that Ipswich have offered a contract to a player I have on my radar screen. Dude is Mark Wilson, a 27yo DM RC who's described as an attacking fullback but is currently playing mostly MC with his current team (sorry didn't write down who it was). Interesting thing with him is that, while I think he's got pretty decent skills for a DM, he's only asking for $25k per week on a 4 year deal. I decide to bite and I offer him what he wants...

Woah, good news everywhere!!! Both Gianni Zuiverloon (that is the right spelling) and Kim Källström have agreed to terms with Q.P.R. and will join the club on July 1st!!!

Zuiverloon, a 25yo centreback with continental reputation who is also capable of doubling as a right fullback, commented to the media that playing in European competition had a large bearing on his decision. As you can see in his player profile, the dude has great (world class-like I'd even say) skills in heading, marking, passing, tackling, and positioning. In short, about everything I look for in a centreback, even though he's a bit laking in aggressiveness. At only 25, he could be with us for many seasons, eventually taking over for Danny Shittu as the rock in the middle of our defensive line. He rejected an offer from his current club, Leverkusen to come play for us, and above all, he already speaks English, and hopefully it'll help him settling in.

Källström, a 29yo attacking midfielder who plays in the center of the field and is described as a cultured midfielder thanks to his great ball control and vision on the field, also gave the same reason for signing a contract that will bring him to Loftus Road. Looks like our presence in the 1st Knockout round of the Euro Cup is paying of more than with mere money, but also in reputation, that is great! As you'll see by looking at his player profile, Källström has a (severe) lack of pace, but is an amazing playmaker and could feed the strikers in amazing fashion from the AMC spot. He rejected an offer from West Brom, where he's been playing since the 2006/07 season, to come play for us. After player in England for the last several seasons, one would hope his settling down time won't bee too long.

Our $2.4M bid for Giovanni Dos Santos is accepted, well it had to be, since it met with the minimum fee release clause. Hrm, looking to offer him a contract, I see he's saying that he is not interested in a move to Q.P.R. He's a 22 yo AMC and with the signing of Källström, other than to bring in a young kid to the fold, we don't need him as much. I decide to not even offer him a contract and I withdraw our transfer bid.
This leaves Ahmed Yahiaoui as the one possible future transfer in. We've still to hear from Marseilles about our lates offer but I now see that Man City have dropped out of the chase and Deportivo are now scouting him. hrm...

January 7, 2012
We get the news that our offer for Yahiaoui is rejected. I offer them $14M and Keigan Parker for a total offer of $17.8M. I also decide to go public and I declare my interest in him. The pundits automatically start speculating and a fee of $16M is mentionned as the possible price it could cost to pris Yahiaoui away from Stade Vélodrome. That's an insight...

The other player is Gianni Zeinerloon (I probably botched his name right here, I can't even decipher my own writing on that one :)), a 25yo D RC who's described as a centreback. He's got 20's in numerous important skills for a centreback. He is currently considering an offer from Leverkusen, so this could all be in vain but I try my luck anyway. He want $59k per week with a signing fee of $1.35M for a 3 year deal. I offer him $57k per week and a signing fee of $1.25M for a 3 year deal. He is valued at $11.5M and at only 25 years of age, he could present a good balance between youth and experience for the centreback position.Zuiverloon, perhaps?

FA Cup, 3rd Round: we play Birmingham on their pitch. They are currently in 4th place of the EPL and are evens favourites to win this game.

It's a pretty good feeling to see "Holders - Q.P.R." atop the fixtures page :)

We drew 1-1 with Birmingham in league play earlier this season. Our next match is on January 11, when we'll take on Man Utd for the 1st Leg of the League Cup Semi Final. It's not an easy stretch of our schedule. I could decide to let it go of the Cups, but they could be my entry into the Euro Cup again this season, so we won't back down...

They last played on January 1, while we last played on January 4. They show a 4-4-2 formation with long arrows on the wingers to start the game.

Quincy Owusu Abeyie passes the opening kickoff back to César Augusto Fawcett and takes off like a rocket. Fawcett sees his run and launches a 45 yard long pass that lands to Abeyie's feet, on the edge of their penalty area. Abeyie kicks it hard and it's deflected before going in for his 5th goal of the season. Just like that, 13 seconds into the game, we're leading 1-0 :)

We play a bit sloppily after that though and Tom Howell gets dispossessed near our penalty area and they score on an amazingly precise strike.

The half ends in a 1-1 tie. We're outshooting them 5(2) to 1(1) and we're winning possession in about all tiers of the field.

In the 48th minute, Tom Howell's corner sails to Danny Shittu's head inside the 6 yard box. Shittu outjumps everyone and heads it in for the go ahead goal.

We go to a 4-2-2-2 formation in the 60th minute, trying to protect our lead by controlling the ball in our defensive midfield section. Li Tie comes in for Stephen Pearson.

They go to a 4-2-4 formation in the 75th minute and I try to counter it by putting down arrows on my two wingers, giving us as many as 8 outfielders inside our defensive zone.

Final Score: 2-1

An awesome game!!! We outshot them 11(6) to 1(1), effectively shutting them down completely in the second half.

Fábio Rochemback is named Man of the Match with a rating of 9. He attempted 19 tackles and won 13 of them. Tom Howell also got rated at 9 while César Augusto Fawcett and James Collins both got rated at 8. On the other hand, Kasper Schmeichel got rated at 5. Hard to understand, other than think he got bored out of his mind not getting one shot in the second half...

We've been awarded $90k for the win and we're through to round 4.

I decided to try something I've not done a lot of recently and I offer Nathan Jameson a mutual termination of his contract. The dude is useless on our squad and is paid $9,000 per week. He immediately tells me that he would agree to a termination of his contract in exchange of a one payment of $123k. I quickly estimated that we were about 24 weeks from June 30 (real number is 25 weeks from Jan. 7 to Jun. 30) and I estimated the wage cost for Jameson with a $10k weekly wage, giving me about $240k in wage cost. Hmm, $123k is a pretty good deal, I accept and we release Jameson on a free transfer. I may try to do that kind of thing for a few unused players on the squad...

Peter Young fractured some ribs in training and will miss 3 weeks. I ask my physios for reports on him and huhoh, they believe he is somewhat prone to injury. Not the kind of thing you want to hear about your latest youth project...

Mark Wilson agrees to terms with Ipswich. Hrm, maybe I just dreamed I offered him a contract as we're not even acknowledged. Oh well, he probably would have only been a fringe player anyway...

Our latest bid for Ahmed Yahiaoui is rejected. I will wait a couple days before making another offer.

Woah, at first, I'm impressed that we put 5 on the English Premier Division Team of the Week, until I realize that our match with Liverpool was the only EPL game this week. EPL filled the remaining spots :) Anthony Vanden Borre, Tom Howell, Danny Shittu, Youssouf Hersi, and Quincy Owusu Abeyie got selected for us.

The draw for the 4th round of the FA Cup happens today, boy are we in for a tough road if we're to repeat. Not only do we draw the current first place team in the EPL, Chelsea, but we get to play them on their pitch. The game will be played on January 21 and it's been picked up for live television coverage.

José Anigo, the Marseille manager, accused me of attempting to unsettle Ahmed Yahiaoui as they strenghened their resolve to keep the cultured midfielder. The media report that Q.P.R. are understood to have expressed their interest in signing the player, but Anigo is telling us to look eslewhere as he will not be 'bullied' into selling the 24 year old midfielder....hehe, this remains to be seen...

In other news around England, Kevin Joyce signs a new deal with Brighton. Seven years after graduated from the Luton youth ranks, the dude is now 22yo and while his skills have not improved a lot, he's still getting good form ratings after good form ratings.

January 10, 2012
Everton offered a contract to Ricardo, the starting goalkeeper for the Portugal National Team and currently playing with Sporting CP. He 35yo and would probably be a good signing for us, especially that he "only" wants $33.5k per week. I offer him that.

I offer $16M to Marseille for Yahiaoui.

I see that Werder Bremen is scouting Anthony Vanden Borre and that freaks me out a little. He's got a minimum release fee clause that goes active at $9.4M, yet he's already valued at $9.8M. This is a similar situation to what Happened with Youssouf Hersi last January when Man City enquired on how much I wanted for him...

January 11, 2012
Igor Biscan resume full training after his physiotherapy treatment.
Our latest bid for Yahiaoui is rejected, again. :( I offer them $15M and Ben Watson as part exchange, for a total offer valued at $21.4M.

The waltz for Joost Broeren has started as Man City offer $18.5M for him.

League Cup Semi Final, Leg 1: we play Manchester United at Loftus Road. They're currently tied in points with Chelsea in 1st place of the EPL, officially listed in second place on the goal differential tiebreaker, and they are 1-2 favourites to win this game.

This game starts a crazy stretch of five games for us, a stretch that will see us play Man U three times in five. Look at this:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/FM2005/QPR-EPL/120111fixtures.jpg

Add in Chelsea to that mix and that is a bit rough...

Marcus Kelly is back in as the starting left winger and Tom Howell will back him up.

We catch a break as Shaun Wright-Phillips is suspended. Says "suspended 1 game for sending off" but I have to go back three games to find when he was sent off, so this is the 3rd game of a 3 games suspension, harsh, but I like it :)

Both teams last played on January 7.

They show a 4-5-1 formation to start the game.

In the 19th minute, even though he has no angle, Ross McCormack tries a shot. He is precise enough and the ball goes in off the post to Tim Howard's right. McCormack received the ball on a crazy 45 yards long pass from Anthony Vanden Borre. That's his 10th goal of the season and we're up 1-0. At that point, we had 4 shots, all on target, to none for Man U.

The half ends with us ahead 1-0. We're outshooting them 10(6) to 2(0). Tim Howard is a darn wonderkeeper, rating at 9. Keep the pressure on him guys, he will crack!

And pressuring him they do. In the 48th minute, Ross McCormack plays a free kick in a way nobody thought he would. As he lined up for the kick just outside their penalty area, it looked almost certain that he'd try to go for the goal. Instead of that, Andrew Johnson got in motion and positioned himself just behind their wall, where McCormack passed him the sweetest touch ball I've seen. AJ's sweet moves are just too much, even for a wonderkeeper, and he fakes Howard out of his shorts to find himself in front of an empty net. He scores the 2-0 goal, his 10th goal of the season.

We'll keep deyning them any good chances at our goal for the rest of the game.

Final Score: 2-0

WOW!!! We outshot them 17(7) to 7(0). JUST WOW!!! Yeah, it's a Cup match, Wright-Phillips wasn't there, maybe some others were sitting out, WHO CARES!!! WE KICKED SOME MAN YOO BUTT!!! :)

Anthony Vanden Borre is named Man of the Match with a great performance out of the right fullback spot. He received a 9 for form, completing 11 runs past opponents and intercepting 6 balls. Ross McCormack got rated at 8. All in all, an awesome win! Yep, it's only one half of the way to the Final, but one big half. Now we gotta hang on in Leg 2.

Interesting result in the other Semi Final, as Everton stole the game 2-0 on Sunderland's pitch.

Youssouf Hersi has been banned for a match after collecting 5 yellow cards.

The attendance of 26,129 for today's match is a new Q.P.R. record high attendance. We're still 21 short of a sellout, come on guys! :D

Marseille's Ahmed Yahiaoui had told Soccernet.com that he would be keen on joining Q.P.R., but is concerned that the media speculation surrounding such a move might have a detrimental impact on his football. The 25 year olf midfielder commented that the sooner the situation was resolved, the better it would be for all parties concerned.

Well, a tad later in the day, we get the news that our latest bid has been rejected. Anybody would think that that latest rejection would just about settles it, well it's not knowing me well to thinks so. I go with one last crazy bid at $17M, with a deadline for their response of today. We have about $17.1M in the bank...

January 14, 2012
Macclesfield want Justin Wall on loan. They would pay his full wage and I would be able to recall him, but I decide to reject their proposal. The kid's last loan experience was not good and his learning has stagnated while away from the perfect training facilities we have at Loftus Road. Even more, he's showing up as one of the players who's having the best training sessions since coming back to the club. I plan on giving him some first-team play soon as it can only help his development.

And huhoh, it took them a couple of days, and many counteroffers, but Marseille have accepted our latest bid for Ahmed Yahiaoui and we're allowed to offer him a contract. He wants $68k per week with a modest $650k signing fee for a 3 year deal. He's currently earning $45k per week with Marseille. Julian Hudson recommends we offer him $65k per week and he believes he would become an essential member of our squad. I decide t offer him $65k per week, but I cut the signing fee to $300k, in an effort not to put the team in the red, since I will still need the approval of Bill Power, our chairman, for that deal to go through...

Ricardo agrees to terms with Everton. He will join them on July 1st. This time, we're acknowledged as having offered him a contract, he simply rejected it. Gotta say I didn't go overboard to sign him.

Igor Nadal Lázaro resumes full training following his physiotherapy treatment. The specialist who treated him is optimistic that he's recovered fully from his injury. I really want to see him play more with the first team. I like Igor.

League Match #23: we play Fulham on their pitch. They're currently in 19th place and are evens favourites to win this game.

They've really struggled in the first half of the season and while they are sitting in 19th place out of 20 teams, they just can't be taken for granted. They always play hard against us.

Youssouf Hersi is suspended for this game.

This game is on TV and key men are presented as Steward Downing for them and Stephen Pearson for us.

The Football365.com prediction goes as follows: Fulham are strugglin at home at the moment. I fancy Q.P.R. to just about win this one.

Woah...

They last played on the 7th while we last played on the 11th.

With only 84 second played in the first half, Matt Cross sends a long throw in to Quincy Owusu Abeyie. He gets tackled just inside their penalty area. Commentators say it was a harsh decision, but who cares, the ref points the spot... PENALTY!!! James Collins lines up for the kick, I go "JAMES COLLINS???" as he kicks it hard, almost through the keeper's body, for the 1-0 goal. Turns out Collins is a very good penalty kick taker (17)... I had simply forgotten about that fact :)

Dang! In the 22nd minute, Matt Cross tried to wildly clear the ball of our penalty area to the back, but he kicks it past Kasper Schmeichel for an own goal! Tied 1-1.

SHIT, not again!!! Craig Crane is pressured and forced into a backpass. His pass to Schmeichel is a bit wild and it goes into our goal, just off the post. TWO OWN GOALS, not in a game, IN 11 MINUTES!!! Down 1-2.

The half ends with us down 1-2. They are outshooting us 11(5) to 4(2). ouch... They are kicking the crap out of us, controlling the ball 60% of the time, an astonishing 29% inside our defensive zone.

To counter that, we got to a 4-2-2-2 formation, with Chris Chapman coming in to the second DMC spot, taking Stephen Pearson's place.

We play like a bunch of 8 year old little girls and they take advantage of it in the 73rd minute. Down 1-3. We've not shot once in nealry 30 minutes of play in the second half.

Craig Crane gets his second yellow of the game in teh 84th minute and is sent off. We got to a 3-2-2-2 formation but with crazy long arrows on wingers and DMC's.

Clemens Fritz gets us one back in the 88th minute, as he chips it over their keeper's head. But it's too little, too late.

Final Score: 2-3

They outshot us 17(9) to 6(4). A frigging awful game, despite the relatively close score. One that, based on relative position and toughness of the opponent, we should have won, that we had to win.

Fábio Rochemback and Clemens Fritz both got rated at 8, while Craig Crane received a 5 for form. An own goal and two yellows is not what I'd call a good game... He will also automatically be banned for having been sent off in the game.

We remain in 9th place after the loss but we don't have any games on hand anymore. We're now 4 points away from 7th and barely 4 points ahead of 12th place. With Manchester United coming as our next league match, it may get worse before it gets better...

League Match #24: we play Manchester United on their pitch. They're currently in 1st, 2 points ahead of Chelsea and they're 1-2 favourites to win this game.

Their top scorer, Arouna Koné, is in the same situation as our Danny Shittu, on international duty for the African Cup of Nations. He's on the Ivory Coast squad.

Our next game is our FA Cup 4th round match against Chelsea on January 21.

Craig Crane is suspended for this game.

Man U show a similar 4-5-1 formation as the last time we played them, in Leg 1 of the League Cup Semi Final.

The first half ends in a scoreless tie. We're outshooting them 5(2) to 4(0).

It was an exciting half, even without a goal. We're hanging in there, controlling the ball well, even though a bit much within our own half to my taste.

Ross McCormack plays another great short free kick to Youssouf Hersi in the 61st minute. Hersi, who was standing on the edge of their penalty area, turns around and launches a precise strike to give us a 1-0 lead. WOOT!

In the 83rd minute, Tom Howell plays the ball ahead of Ross McCormack. For a moment, I feared it would be called back for offside, not that McCormack was offside, but we had two player ahead of him running backward, trying to put themselves in an inside position. No call is made as McCormack picks up the ball and runs all alone up to the keeper and scores the 2-0 goal!!!

Final Score: 2-0

WOW! just WOW!!! Two clean sheets in a row against the mighty Man Yoo, woah! Final shot tally came to 10(6) for us, 11(4) for them.

Anthony Vanden Borre had another great game from the right fullback spot, rating at 9 and getting the Man of the Match. Schmeichel, Fawcett, Howell, Hersi, and McCormack all got rated at 8.

Tom Howell needed the physio toward the end of the game and his postgame condition is only at 57%. This may prevent him from playing our next game...

We move up to 8th place with the win, 3 points from 6th place. I always like to see what's the best we could go within one win.

Bill Power just could hide his delight over this win. I think I saw him dance, then drink 4 scotches straight ;)

The crowd of 26130 is a new Q.P.R. crowd record, beating our previous best, also set in a match against Man Utd just a few days ago. I'll say it again though, it's 20 short of a sellout. COME ON GUYS! :D

I've read all of the "Frog at..." series over the past two weeks. Great stuff.

I may pick up this game this week.

One question...

Can you offer Vanden Borre an extension that'll get rid of his Minimum Release Clause?

Seems like if you gave him a few extra Gs per week you might make a killing if some big team swoops in to take him. Or it would allow you to refuse. It's seems that with the way he's playing and the fact that he's being scouted by bigger teams that he'll be snatched away pretty soon.

Great win versus Man Utd. by the way!

Still on a high after the previous night's win, I wake up to the phone ringing. It's Ahmed Yahiaoui's agent and he excitedly tells me that our good showing in the Euro Cup so far has convinced Ahmed that a move to Loftus Road would be good for him, he's agreed to terms with us!

I tell him I first have to check with Bill Power, see if the extra funds are allowed. We're talking about $17M here... Mr Power tells me that he believes this player will be beneficial for the club and he therefore decides to provide the extra finance needed to finalise the deal. I'm a bit surprised to be honest. Good thing the crowd was good for the Man U game, because the club's bank account was at something like $16.7M before the game, and now, with the deal done, it shows only $212,692 left. Phew...


Lost in all the excitement, I get the news that Chris Chapman sprained his wrist in training. He will miss one week. That's not a good news with Howell's condition so low...

January 20, 2012
Ahmed Yahiaoui arrives to Loftus Road and Bill Power is very pleased about it, as he expresses his delight that I have captured his signature. Mr Power also commented that I was doing an excellent job for the club by signing such a high-profile player. The Board is whining about the wages though, but who cares, as long as we keep winning, there'll be money at the end of the season :D

And, who is this Ahmed "Yahoo!" Yahiaoui and what does he have that makes everybody so excited? He's a Frenchman defensive midfielder who's capable of playing in the center and on the right. What makes him special, well first, he's not very old, having just turned 25 only a week ago. Second, he's got all the skills I wanna see in a DMC, including heading (only for Desnudo ;)). His pace is not his greatest asset, but he's very good between the ears and also has great technical skills, as long as we're not asking him to do any set pieces stuff. You can look at his player profile by clicking on the following thumbnail. Let me know what you think of him. Personally, I like him very much. Reminds me a lot of Anthony Vanden Borre and both of them on the field at the same time could give a whole new dimension to our 4-2-2-2 formation with 2 DMCs...
(note: I'm unable to upload to my photobucket account at the moment, I'll post his profile as soon as I'm able to log into my account.)

This signing breaks two Q.P.R. team record. First, the $17M fee for a single player is one, then the signing brings our total spending on the season to an even $34M (actually doubling what we had spent with one signing) and that is another record.

FA Cup round 4: we play Chelsea on their pitch. They've just moved into 1st place in the EPL, thanks to the loss we gave to Man Utd in our last game. That gives us back-to-back games against table leaders of the EPL. They are 1-2 favourites to win this game.

They're not missing anybody on their main roster.

Our next game is on January 25th and it should be another easy one, as we'll take on Manchester United again for the second leg of the League Cup Semi Final.

While scouting them and their last game, I'm reminded of their dang 4-2-3-1 formation. I decide we'll counter it with a 4-2-2-2 with 2 DMCs, keeping in mind that a draw means a replay game at Loftus Road.

As we get to the field, they indeed show a 4-2-3-1 setting on the field. This game is on TV and key men are presented as Ronaldinho for them and Marcus Kelly for us.

The Football365.com prediction goes as follows: Chelsea have got to be favourites for this one. The Blues have been impressive at home recently and I expect them to have too much for Q.P.R.

Wow, talk about taking the safe bet...

They winger Geremi is away on international duty, much like Danny Shittu, he's set to play in the African Cup of Nations.

Ahmed Yahiaoui is not fit to start for us yet. I don't know what he was doing at Marseille, but they certainly ware not training him too hard, or playing him very often, or the rumours really, really got to him.

The first half ends in a scoreless tie. They're outshooting us 3(1) to nothing. It's a dang close game, let me tell you this. I really don't like the fact we've not got one shot on goal so far, but we're very much keeping pace for pace with them.

Darn yellows!!! This referee isn't Rob Styles, but he's just the same. We get our 4th yellow of the game in the 46th minute and Chelsea have already received 3. I ask the guys to take it easy on their tackles for the rest of the game.

In the 77th minute, Clemens Fritz, who had replaced Stephen Pearson earlier in the half, does what he does best and HE PULLS A FRITZ!!! After stripping the ball from an opposing defender about halfway between the centerline and their goal, he went on a tear, running past two other defenders, then beating the one he had stripped the ball from another time, before beating Peter Cech with a precise kick. WE GO UP 1-0!!! Magical Stuff by Fritz!!!

In the 82nd minute, one of their top striker, Berbatov, has to leave the pitch, injured. They're out of subs and out of curiosity, I take a look at their formation. They're now playing in a desperate 1-3-5. That's one defender, three MCs and 5 strikers, with various players given various arrows

One minute into injury time, Fritz again strips the ball from a defender. He runs on the right win, unchallenged, there's just nobody back there, too many attackers up front. He brings the ball inside their penalty area and spots Ross McCormack standing, unmarked, on the edge of their 6 yard box. Sure, we got for guys in the area against one defender, a few of ours had to be left unmarked ;) The pass is perfect and McCormack converts it for the 2-0 goal!!!

Final Score: 2-0

Again, WOW! just WOW!!! That was a wild second half! We outshot them 8(6) to 8(5), but again, WOW!!! :D

Kasper Schmeichel is named Man of the Match with a rating of 8. Fawcett, Pearson, Kelly, Vanden Borre, and Fritz also all got rated at 8.

The tactic and our patient style of play have both paid off!

We've been awarded $130k for the win and we're through to round 5.

Anthony Vanden Borre suffered a chest injury and he will miss 5 days.

Following the game, I learn that Oxford want Justin Wall for a 3 month loan. I reject their proposal for the same reason I rejected the latest loan proposal for Wall.

Among the other 4th round game, there's a big upset in Tranmere winning 1-0 over Arsenal. Wow!

I've read all of the "Frog at..." series over the past two weeks. Great stuff.

I may pick up this game this week.

One question...

Can you offer Vanden Borre an extension that'll get rid of his Minimum Release Clause?

Seems like if you gave him a few extra Gs per week you might make a killing if some big team swoops in to take him. Or it would allow you to refuse. It's seems that with the way he's playing and the fact that he's being scouted by bigger teams that he'll be snatched away pretty soon.

Great win versus Man Utd. by the way!And you are one dedicated reader too. I knew I had seen new faces in the dynasty lately, honestly didn't think people would be reading from the beginning though. Welcome aboard!!!

About Vanden Borre, that was my first thought when I saw Werder Bremen scouting him. When I originally signed him, it was after a couple of tries where he kept saying that he didn't think Q.P.R. had the resources to sign him. Then I offered him the contract he has now, a contract which is pretty much in line with what players of his caliber ask for. I often think that what makes a player sign can sometimes be the incentive of the minimum release fee. I say that because I've often had players on my team ask for one release clause and they wouldn't sign if I offered them really close to what they were asking, if I took out the release clause. In VB's case, I kind of think (or believe) that the clause was maybe instrumental to him agreeing to come. Now, what about it at this point. One of my first thought, that went unreported here, was to go and sign him to an extention, but when I tried that, I saw hime asking for $93k per week, mostly because he's on a hot streak. I've seen it happen to many other players in the past. Hersi when he got with us, Kelly at the beginning of last season too, both of them wanted contracts worth upward of $85k per week. I just can't afford that for one player, and anyway, the board won't allow more than $68k to any one player, no matter how important he could be on the team. Luckily, they have not yet restricted the wage I can give to a player they think is worthy of the "key player" status, but I've seen them limit it for less important players (small spoiler, but wait until I try to renegotiate with Chris Chapman later on today).

In short, it's not possible to renegotiate with VB at this point. I can only cross my fingers and pray they will go away, like Man City did last season when they were scouting, and even enquired for a price on Youssouf Hersi.

Wow, talk about a long explanation... :)

and it was indeed a great, even TWO great wins :D

Cool, I thought you had some other explanation with some graphcis or something :D

And yeah, I could see Fritz being part of a Shaolin Soccer style of team. There's just something in the way he can pick up the ball from about midfield and run past two or three opponents, swiveling and swerving and finally put the ball in the back of the goal. It gets me pumping my fist in the air everytime :D

Bah, who needs transfer funds? César Augusto Fawcett and Anthony Vanden Borre were both free signings and they're doing GRRRRRREAT!!! :D

What I'll need soon is more wage budget!!!

Thanks for reading and for the nice words.

I decide to release Mathew Sadler. He's been on a month to month contract since his contract ran out last June and I felt like we needed him for depth. If we need to go deeper than two at the left fullback spot(César Augusto Fawcett & Tom Howell), we'll play a centreback there.

The Broeren soap opera continues as Fulham tries a lowball bid for him. They offer $12.1M for him. Compared to the offers Man City and Werder Bremen put in, it's very unlikely that their bid will be accepted. Speaking of Broeren, he's currenlty considering offers from Man City and Werder Bremmen.

January 23, 2012
Anthony Vanden Borre is selected on the English Premier Division Team of the Week.

Funny we got news about Joost Broeren yesterday, as we hear that he signed with Manchester City today. The transfer is estimated to be around $18.5M.

The FA Cup round 5 draw happens today. There are 16 teams left and we draw Middlesbrough on their pitch. They're currently in 15th position in the EPL and the game will be played on their pitch on February 29.

Woah, out of nowhere, West Brom puts in a bid for Tom Howell. They are offering me the $13M that the wonderkid is valued at. I had not realized his value had soared to this high, and I say out of nowhere because they never appeared as being scouting him. Hrm, that's a nice offer and all, but all this money would go back to repay the advance that the board gave me to get this high profile player and I'd be left without any new money to get a left winger, which I'd need if I let go of Howell at this point. That and he makes a very good backup, and even starting, left winger/left fullback. One other thing is that damned minimum release fee clause. That clause that goes active at $15M and which seemed to leave me plenty of room at the time we resigned him (remember the hard time I had to resign him too, kinda glad I didn't listen to tk when she said to cut his ass ;)), but is way to close for comfort just now... They set a deadline of January 30th and I plan on making them wait, maybe just enough that at least they don't get him before the deadline, or that I decide to resign him without a minimum release fee clause.

January 24, 2012
The transfer deadline is in one week. With the latest bid on Howell, the fact that I just saw that Fulham is also scouting him now, and Werder Bremen scouting Anthony Vanden Borre, this is going to be one long week. It's getting to the point that everytime I hit the space bar (read hit the continue button, aka process to the next day), I expect to read something like "team x puts in bid for (insert player's name)"... It's now up to the point that time out of playing games is even more nerve wrecking than playing the games themselves...

I decide to try to resign Chris Chapman to a new contract. He wants $24.5k per week with a signing fee of $90k. Julian Hudson says he still has a lot to learn and only recommends a weekly wage of $10.5k. I offer him $17.5k per week with a signing fee of $150k, as a player on squad rotation, instead of first team player as he was asking.

January 25, 2012
Chapman rejects our first offer without any clue as to what bugs him. While he is willing to negotiate, he also now does not believe Q.P.R. have the resources to meet his demands. I offer him $18.5k per week with a signing fee of $170k and I add a $2,200 bonus per appearances.

League Cup Semi Final, Leg 2: we play Manchester United on their pitch. They've slipped to 2nd place in the EPL and are 1-2 favourites to win this game.

We're leading 2-0 on aggregate scores. One special rule for this one is that away goals will be used if we're still tied after extra-time, but I understand that if we're tied on aggregate after ragulation, we'll go straight to extra-time. If tied again after extra-time (even after taking into account the away goals) we go to penalty shootouts.

Anthony Vanden Borre is not good to go following his chest injury in the Chelsea match.

Our next game is on January 28, when we'll play Blackburn.

I decide to go with a 4-2-2-2 formation in the hope that we'll keep the scoring low, and hopefully take advantage of our two goals aggregate lead. A second DMC means that Ahmed Yahiaou will make his debut in this game.

Man U show a 4-5-1 formation similar to the last two games we played them.

GRRRR, the same card giver as our last game is the referee for this one, his name: Tom Rigby. I have a feeling he is a padawan of Rob Styles :mad:

After 10 minutes, I ask the guys to take it easy on their tackles, as both teams have already received a yellow card.

In the 17th minute, they go through the middle. Worst is, we let them... Down 0-1, still up on aggregate, 2-1. That sequence has me a bit worried as the middle should be strong, with 2 centrebacks and 2 DMCs...

AAAARRRRGGGG!!! In the 41st minute, Marcus Kelly is given the 5th yellow card to a Ranger while Man U has only received one, the one they had been given in the first 10 minute. That guy is even worse than Styles (who ever thought) as he is a frigging homer!!! :mad:

The ensuing free kick by their right fullback is headed by César Augusto Fawcett to Fábio Rochemback. Roch has great vision and launches a badass long pass that travels 55 yards forward. That pass is taken in stride by Quincy Owusu Abeyie, alone with Howard, he shakes and bakes once before firing a precise strike for the 1-1 goal, 3-1 on aggregate.

The half ends with the teams tied 1-1, but us ahead 3-1 on aggregate. We're outshooting them 6(4) to 6(1). We're hanging in there, but James Collins is overwhelmed. It had been a long time since it last happened to him, but he's rated at 5 while everybody else is at 7 or better. I pull him out and put Igor Biscan in his spot.

In the 71st minute, Ross McCormack plays another beautiful short free kick. This time, Clemens Fritz is the recepient, as he's on the run near their 6 yard box. He kicks the ball with fury and it's deflected through the crowd before going in!!! We're up 2-1 on the game, 4-1 on aggregate!

That ref is simply crazy. In the 79th minute, he just delivered a 7th yellow card to a Ranger to Clemens Fritz, each of them to 7 different players on our team.

YAHOOOOOOOO!!!!! In the 81st minute, Ahmed Yahiaoui picks up a loose ball on the edge of their penalty area and bends a beautiful long range kick. Just like that, from 25 yards out, he scores on his debut. We're up 3-1 on the game, 5-1 on aggregate. That is great!!!

They get a free kick near our area in the 87th minute. The kick is played forward and it headed in. We're still ahead, only 3-2 on the game, but who cares about the game, we're up 5-2 on aggregate with no more than 7 or 8 minute left...

Final Score: 3-2 (5-2 aggregate)

WOOHOO!!! We kicked their butts once again, for the third time in exactly 14 days!!! We outshot them 13(8) to 9(2) on the game, simply amazing, a very good feeling!!! :D

David Marek Rozehnal is named Man of the Match with a rating of 8. He won all of the 10 headers he went for, 4 of them key headers.

Fawcett, Pearson, Rochemback, Yahiaoui, and Biscan also all got rated at 8. On the other hand, Kasper Schmeichel and James Collins got rated at 5. I'm more worried about Schmeichel, thinking it may hit his morale, even with us winning this big game.

We've been awarded $900k for the win and we're through to the Finale!!!

We will play Everton who won over Sunderland, 1-0 in Leg 2, 3-0 on aggregate. The Finale will be played on February 26 at Wembley Stadium.

Ross McCormack suffered a chest injury and will miss 5 days.

And damn that Tom Rigby, look at what the squad report looks like, postgame, with all those "Yel" tags. The "Yel" tag in the "Inf" column means the player is one game away from being banned for collecting 5 yellow cards...

One good news out of this squad report is the "Superb" that shows under Kasper Schmeichel's morale column.

that's it for me on the unreported stuff. See ya all on Monday, hopefully with some new stuff. (I say hopefully since you never know what will happen in a weekend, but I should be able to play some, even with the kid in a soccer tournament for part of Saturday and at least Sunday morning ;))

Ahmed Yahiaoui arrives to Loftus Road and Bill Power is very pleased about it, as he expresses his delight that I have captured his signature. Mr Power also commented that I was doing an excellent job for the club by signing such a high-profile player. The Board is whining about the wages though, but who cares, as long as we keep winning, there'll be money at the end of the season :D

And, who is this Ahmed "Yahoo!" Yahiaoui and what does he have that makes everybody so excited? He's a Frenchman defensive midfielder who's capable of playing in the center and on the right. What makes him special, well first, he's not very old, having just turned 25 only a week ago. Second, he's got all the skills I wanna see in a DMC, including heading (only for Desnudo ;)). His pace is not his greatest asset, but he's very good between the ears and also has great technical skills, as long as we're not asking him to do any set pieces stuff. You can look at his player profile by clicking on the following thumbnail. Let me know what you think of him. Personally, I like him very much. Reminds me a lot of Anthony Vanden Borre and both of them on the field at the same time could give a whole new dimension to our 4-2-2-2 formation with 2 DMCs...
(note: I'm unable to upload to my photobucket account at the moment, I'll post his profile as soon as I'm able to log into my account.)

I just uploaded Yahiaoui's profile and here it is:

Let me know what you think of the dude...

not bad at all, frogman...

With his combination of skills, it appears he could play M RC and AM RC, in addition to the DM.

[Desnudo]

A little bit lazy, but great technical stats, and great mental stats otherwise. I wonder what the impact of his low strength rating will be? It's always hard to judge how a player's skill combo will come together.

It looks like his technical and mental skills should be enough to compensate for any weaknesses though.

[daedalus]

Looking at the skillset, I don't see him doing as well if he was actually played wide on the right.

On the other hand, he looks like a hell of a player otherwise. I would say Roch better start getting reasonable with his contract demand since his replacement is on board.

As for his strength, I think the only problem I see that's sad is not being able to use the "Hold Up Ball" instruction on him as I think he would have been the perfect candidate for it (in combination with being high on the Playmaker list).

I would leave Long Shot high for him, though. :D

congrats with all three Man U wins AND the Chelski win FM :D

Ben Watson resumes full training following his physiotherapy treamtent. The specialist who treated him is optimistic that he'S recovered fully fomr his injury.

Boston Utd want Justin Wall on loan. I reject their offer for the same reasons as before.

January 27, 2012
Chris Chapman rejected our latest offer but he's still willing to negotiate. I offer him $20k per week with a $180k signing fee as a rotation player.

Nobody is scouting Anthony Vanden Borre anymore, but Newcastle is now scouting Clemens Fritz.

Rushden and Stevenage both want Justin Wall on loan. I reject both their offers.

League Match #25: we play Blackburn on their pitch. They're currenlty 12th and are 5-4 favourites to win this game.

Our next game is on February 1st, when we'll play Bolton at home.

David Marek Rozehnal suffered some bruised ribs in training on January 26, his condition is low.

Igor Nadal Lázaro is starting despite not being match fit. I decide to keep Justin Wall on our bench.

Anthony Vanden Borre sitting out with very low condition due to recent injury.

Tom Howell starts and Marcus Kelly is backing him up.

They show a 5-3-2 formation to start the game. They last played on January 21, while we played on January 25.


Craig Crane interecepts one of their corner kicks in the 9th minute and relays it quickly to Igor Nadal Lázaro. He runs on the right wing and centers a perfect ball to Stephen Pearson. We hit them on the break for the 1-0 goal.

They tie the game in the 23rd minute on a kick with absolutely no angle.

The half ends 1-1 but they're manhandling us so far. Proof of that: they're outshooting us 12(5) to 3(2) so far. We're not in the game...

We go to a 4-2-2-1-1 as I pull Lázaro out and put in Ahmed Yahiaoui as the second DMC. Pearson is also subbed out and Clemens Fritz replaces him.

Final Score: 1-1

They outshot us 16(8) to 4(3), a very disappointing counterperformance, even though we scraped just hard enough to get a draw...

César Augusto Fawcett is named Man of the Match with a rating of 8. Igor Biscan also got rated at 8.

We still move up to 7th with the draw, but there are a bunch of games to be played on Sunday (tomorrow).

For hattrickers out there, this game really felt like a post-MOTS game, after the great performances we've put on, to have this downer is a bit frustrating...

Later in the day, I get the news that Chris Chapman has put pen to paper on a lucrative 3 year deal worth $3.6M. He's said to be delighted to have signed a new contract.

It's a sad day for the Luton Hatter fan in me. They just sacked another manager, the second to whom they didn't even give one full season. Looking at their team, I see that they're now dead last in League Two, in big danger of dropping out of League play... :(

I put in a loan bid for Jaco Van Den Heever, a 24yo AM RC currently playing with Ajax. The dude as some amazing skills, but just about no pace at all...

We hang on to 7th place after the Sunday games have been played...

Igor Biscan is selected on the EPL Team of the Week.

Our loan bid for Jaco Van Den Heever has been accepted. A couple hours later, he accepts to come on loan with us. While he won't cost us a penny, I'm a bit nervous about his interaction with other players already on the team. He starts by getting into a bad relationship with Tom Howell, as he thinks that Howell shouldn't take himself so seriously. Howell also has a beef with Heever, saying he thinks that his attitude could provoke disharmony at the club. One player with another, I could live with, but I also see that Craig Crane thinks the same of the newcomer... hrm, I'll have to keep my eyes on him...

Anyway, you can take a look at his profile by clicking the thumbnail below. As I said before, he's got some amazing skills, both technically and mentally, but about no pace, even though a lack of pace is not something that has hampered Tom Howell so far...

Danny Shittu was in magnificent form for Nigeria, impressing both pundits and manager for the entire match as Nigeria beat Egypt in group play of the African Cup of Nations. They're through to the next round with 1 win and 2 draws in group play.

January 31, 2012
Transfer deadline is today.

Bruno Conti, my former assistant, now with Bolton, speaks highly of me in the media, saying he truly hoped the best team win in our upcoming Premier Division clash tomorrow. He also commented that I am a good manager and I deserve every success with The Rs.

Danny Shittu is pleased to see I'm getting the praise I deserve while Clemens Fritz, Marcus Kelly and Ross McCorack all believe the team cannot fail to perform whilst under my guidance.

I reply by praising my friend Bruno Conti.

Today is also the date to register players for the next round of the EURO Cup. I have the right to either add 3 or switch three. When I get to the selection screen, I see we have 24 of 25 selected, so I'll add one and swicth two. I add Igor Nadal Lázaro. I take Jeppe Lund Curth and Li Tie out and add Ahmed Yahiaoui and Peter Young in their spots. Here are the 25 that will be eligible to play for the next few rounds.

Hehe, who would have thought Chelsea could run out of money :D

I'd send him back if he's disrupting your team. Also, his pace and teamwork are both awful, especially if you're planning on playing him at winger. Pace is key at those positions, just like heading is at DMC. ;)

It's one of those things that doesn't necessarily impact ratings, but definitely impacts the outcome of matches.

[daedalus]

I agree with Des on both account (stamping his forehead with "return to sender" if he's causing disruption and lack of footspeed possibly becoming an issue). I know it sounds contradictory to my prior stance that speed is overrated. But it's not. Unlike most, I don't object to having a few slowpokes in the lineup since I don't plan to do 4 X 100m relays with my first XI. On the other hand, I feel that having a few speedster mixed in really help to cause a disruption in the defense. Also, with wingers' tendencies to run at defenders in the game (and especially so in your offense), he may have difficulties with that. I also don't like his (lack of) stamina. Especially on the wing. Meh.

I would give consideration to him on the right wing, if you're starting somebody with superior speed on the left (as a counter). I would also consider perhaps trying him out at the AMC slot since his passing could prove valuable there. Also, with his stamina, perhaps mainly as a 30 minute late-game substitute.

The transfer deadline has passed and we've not been looted of any valuable assets by another EPL team. It doesn't rule out any bidding from out of the country, or lower league teams, but it's one step.

The Team Board is still delighted with my work as manager.

Tom Howell is named the EPL Young Player of the Month for the second month this season. He had ratings of 9, 9, 8 and 7 in his 4 league games in January.

Clemens Fritz's lobbed goal against Fulham comes in 3rd place for Goal of the Month.

League Match #26: we play Bolton at Loftus Road. They are currently 17th and are 5-4 favourites to win this game. Someday, we'll be regular favourites. Maybe we'll have to win the EPL Title, but someday we'll be seen as favourites in some of our games...

Marcus Kelly is suspended for this game. Tom Howell will start and Chris Chapman is on the bench to back him up.

Our next game is against Ipswich, on their pitch on February 4.

This game today is an appetizer of the 1st Knockout Round of the EURO Cup that we will play against Bolton on February 16 and 23. They also beat us 2-3 on their pitch earlier this season.

Ross McCormack isn't ready following his recent injury.

Andrew Johnson has to leave the pitch, injured, as early as the 2nd minute of the game. Igor Nadal Lázaro comes on to replace him.

Stephen Pearson caps a fine team move in the 9th minute to make it 1-0. That exchanged included passes from César Augusto Fawcett to Tom Howell, then to Lázaro and to Youssouf Hersi, before Hersi found Pearson.

The half ends with us ahead 1-0. We're outshooting them 6(5) to 2(1) and their keeper is keeping them in the game so far. Even though we didn't get many shots, they were almsot all on target.

We go to a 4-2-2-1-1 formation as Quincy Owusu Abeyie's condition has dipped to 68%. He comes out and Anthony Vanden Borre takes on the second DMC spot.

Youssouf Hersi delivers a perfect corner kick to the far post in the 51st minute and we all thought Igor Biscan had scored, but the goal is disallowed. Apparently, Biscan jumped unfairly with an opponent.

Ahmed Yahiaoui holds up play with a few nice moves on the left wing in the 87th minute. Youssouf Hersi fines an open spot in the defense and Yahiaoui spots him. Hersi scores his 10th of the season on a long range shot from 30yds out. Yahiaoui's superb assist made that goal.

Final Score: 2-0

We outshot them 19(13) to 5(2), wow! We really turned it on in the second half.

Youssouf Hersi is named Man of the Match with a rating of 9 and a goal and an assist.

Schmeichel, Biscan, Rozehnal, and Pearson all got rated at 8.

We remain in 7th with the win.

César Augusto Fawcett picked up a 5th yellow card in the game and will miss one match. Even worse, his backup, Tom Howell suffered a twisted knee in the game and will miss two weeks! We're in a bind without a real left fullback. We'll probably play Igor Biscan there.

Andrew Johnson also got injured in the game. He will miss two weeks too, him with a twisted ankle.

Bill Power can't hide his delight following the win.

League Match #27: we play Ipswich on their pitch. They're currently in 19th place and fighting against relegation. We're 5-4 favourites to win this game.

They have 3 suspended players on their squad for this game.

Our hole at left fullback is exposed as Fawcett is suspended and Howell is injurd. Igor Biscan gets the start for today.

We go with a 4-2-2-2 formation.

Justin Wall gets the start and some more youth is on the bench in Jason Wilson. Our next game is in a full week, when we'll play Everton at home.

They show a 4-4-2 formation with heavy push by the wingers.

Marcus Kelly sets up Ross McCormack with a short pass and McC bends a beautiful banana shot from the corner of the penalty area. The kick is perfect and we go ahead by one.

The half ends with us ahead by one and, despite fairly even possession numbers, we're not allowing them near our goals. Shots reflect that with us getting 7(3) and them not even one.

We hold them for all of the second half, allowing a few shots on target. Their keeper joins the offense as they get a throw in deep into our half 27 seconds into injury time, but we deny them.

Final Score: 1-0

We played a great defensive game and outshot them 12(6) to 4(3) on the game.

Marcus Kelly is named Man of the Match with a rating of 9 but James Collins played a big game too, also getting rated at 9. He cleared our penalty area a couple of times in injury time.

Schmeichel, Crane, and McCormack all got rated at 8.

Igor Biscan got a 7 playing the whole game at left fullback, while both kid strikers, Wilson and Wall, split the playing time and both got 7.

We remain in 7th with the win.

Following the win, Q.P.R.'s chairman Bill Power declared himself extremely pleased with the result. Better form in recent weeks has catapulted The Rs into the top half of the table. A strong series of results has seen the club emerge as one of the form sides in teh divisions whilst they are not expected to seriously challenge for the title, it is pleasing for many fans to see progress being made at the clube. SWEEEET!!! :)

A full week off usually comes with a slew of international friendlies and this time isn't any different. Eleven of our players have been called up for international duty. I remember when I first got to this team, the max at any one time I remember having away in international duty was five or so. I'd say we've moved the club forward a bit, wouldn't you say? :)

February 6, 2012
James Collins, Marcus Kelly, and Youssouf Hersi have all been named on the EPL Team of the Week. While Hersi and Kelly are accustomed to being on that team from time to time, it's an absolute first for Collins, at any level of play. Congrats James!

I offer Jason Wilson a new contract. He wants $2,800 per week and Julian Hudson recommends up to $3,300. Currently earning only $600 per week, his contract runs only until June 30, since it was signed while he was a 16yo. I offer him $1,500 as a hot prospect, even though he wants a contract as a first teamer. He got over my comment made when he first got with the team.

February 7, 2012
Bury want Justin Wall on loan. Proposal rejected again.

February 8, 2012
Jason Wilson rejects my first offer. I offer him $1,900 per week and a $10k signing fee as a hot prospect again.

International Round-Up... Ross McCormack had a goal and an assist, playing the whole game for Scotland and rating at 10. Amazingly enough, he was not even selected Man of the Match, as they won 7-1 over San Marino.

César Augusto Fawcett was in magnificent form, impressing pundits and managers for the whole game in a 2-0 Colombia win over Sint Maarteen. He rated at 8, completing 44 of 48 passes, winning 5 of 8 tackles and adding 5 runs past opponents.

Igor Biscan also was in magnificent for in Croatia's 2-0 win over Bulgaria. He also rated at 8, winning 5 of 7 tackles and 7 of 9 headers.

February 9, 2012
Jason Wilson again rejects our offer. I offer him $2,800 per week without any signing fee. I also drop the yearly wage raise to 15% from 25%.

Danny Shittu was in magnificent form in the African Cup of Nations Semi Final, which was won 2-0 by Nigeria over Morocco. He rated at 8 and won 10 of 12 headers. The Final between South Africa and Nigeria will be played on February 12.

February 10, 2012
Jason Wilson rejects yet another offer. I break off talks for now. It's not like he going anywhere soon, at least not without us getting some compensation.

not bad at all, frogman...

With his combination of skills, it appears he could play M RC and AM RC, in addition to the DM.
A little bit lazy, but great technical stats, and great mental stats otherwise. I wonder what the impact of his low strength rating will be? It's always hard to judge how a player's skill combo will come together.

It looks like his technical and mental skills should be enough to compensate for any weaknesses though.
Looking at the skillset, I don't see him doing as well if he was actually played wide on the right.

On the other hand, he looks like a hell of a player otherwise. I would say Roch better start getting reasonable with his contract demand since his replacement is on board.

As for his strength, I think the only problem I see that's sad is not being able to use the "Hold Up Ball" instruction on him as I think he would have been the perfect candidate for it (in combination with being high on the Playmaker list).

I would leave Long Shot high for him, though. :D
Thanks for the comments guys. Sorry for taking "so long" to reply, I'm simply outplaying my reporting time/abilities at the moment and with still 40 pages of unreported stuff (1 page = 5.5"x8.5" notepad sheet) I always fear I'll spoil something by wanting to report stuff in advance :D

Anyway, Yahoo is settling in with the team and while I've used him on spot duty on the right wing, he was used mostly at the DMC spot, except that Roch got hot and had been playing very well around the time of Yahoo's signing, which is also very good as it allows me the luxury of playing the newcomer in smaller periods every game. I also played him in a position I had not foreseen for him, and in which he did very well. You'll have to come back and read to know more though :p

Also, daedalus, I don't wanna spoil anything, but look for some developments in the Roch contract talks in the near future :) And about the "hold up ball", I rarely use it, makes me nervous, for no real explainable reasons though. And "long shots", well, my DMCs always have the long shots through the roof and all three main DMCs (Roch, Vanden Borre, Yahoo) can all bend the ball amazingly well :)

I'd send him back if he's disrupting your team. Also, his pace and teamwork are both awful, especially if you're planning on playing him at winger. Pace is key at those positions, just like heading is at DMC. ;)

It's one of those things that doesn't necessarily impact ratings, but definitely impacts the outcome of matches.
I agree with Des on both account (stamping his forehead with "return to sender" if he's causing disruption and lack of footspeed possibly becoming an issue). I know it sounds contradictory to my prior stance that speed is overrated. But it's not. Unlike most, I don't object to having a few slowpokes in the lineup since I don't plan to do 4 X 100m relays with my first XI. On the other hand, I feel that having a few speedster mixed in really help to cause a disruption in the defense. Also, with wingers' tendencies to run at defenders in the game (and especially so in your offense), he may have difficulties with that. I also don't like his (lack of) stamina. Especially on the wing. Meh.

I would give consideration to him on the right wing, if you're starting somebody with superior speed on the left (as a counter). I would also consider perhaps trying him out at the AMC slot since his passing could prove valuable there. Also, with his stamina, perhaps mainly as a 30 minute late-game substitute.
He's still with the team around the end of March although he's yet to play a minute with the first team. I don't know if I can pin any team problems to him though. I could probably swing him out to his team as soon as tonight's playing session though. That's the problem I always have with loan players coming in, and to some extent with newly signed transfers. I like players to "prove themselves" before they get some first-team action and with loanees, especially on 3 month loan, there's only so much time for them to do so.

I'm comfortable with the Pearson/Fritz combination on the right, and the Kelly/Howell combination on the left, why screw that up. More I think about it, more I think I'll send him back, even though we're now about only a month before his loan is over (yeah, I'm that far off in the future, March 27 to be exact ;))

League Match #28: we play Everton at Loftus Road. They're currenlty in 8th place and are 5-4 favourites to win this game.

7th vs 8th, this is a pretty big game for both teams, but the dang international friendlies have sucked some juice from some of our players.

Not only is this game a big one, but it's the start of a run of 5 big games. Look at this:
02/11, home, Evertone, EPL
02/16, home, Bolton, EURO Cup 1st Knockout leg 1
02/23, away, Bolton, EURO Cup 1st Knockout leg 2
02/26, Wembley, Everton, League Cup Final
02/29, away, Middlesbrough, FA Cup 5th round

I see that Craig Crane is suspended for the leg 1 of the EURO Cup 1st Knockout series, so I better keep Anthony Vanden Borre rested in this game.

I try something and put a forward arrow on Youssouf Hersi.

That's one boring first half that ends 0-0, despite both teams getting tons of chances. Shots are 8(5) for us, 4(4) for them. I say boring because it's one of those half with many text-only updates. I know this is how it used to be, but I hate reading only the text, SHOW ME THE ACTION!!!

And well, I don't have more luck in the second half...

Final Score: 0-0

We outshot them 11(6) to 5(4) but their frigging wonderkeeper stopped everything, getting MoM in the process with a rating of 9.

Schmeichel, Crane, Fawcett, Kelly, and Rochemback all got rated at 8.

A frigging frustrating draw that leaves us in 7th place with 10 to play.

And about the "hold up ball", I rarely use it, makes me nervous, for no real explainable reasons though.I was, too, as it made no sense to me until I read Marv Vaughans' explanation of it. Then it made more sense and I used it more (sparingly).

After seeing how he keeps getting more and more ratings of 8 in games, I'm tempted to try and resign Fábio Rochemback. I think he's still good for another two seasons with us, if he could get more reasonable on his wages, which is looks like, as he is now asking for $46k per week with a signing fee of $750k. This is way down from the $64k he wanted a month or so ago.

When I ask Julian Hudson for a report on him, I'm very impressed with what he has to say. I don't always agree with what my coaches have to say, but I gotta say that I value Julian's assessments a bit more than the other's. Read what how his report went:

Hudson files report on Rochemback.
Julian Hudson is a keen admirer of Fábio Rochemback.

He is confident that the midfielder's presence in the first team is of great benefit to the club.

The midfielder has been on good form this season and his recent performances have shown his desire to play well for the club.

Hudson thinks we should do our best to help the player stay on top of his game over the next couple of weeks.
Interesting... I'll try a cheap first offer. I offer him $30k per week and a $850k signing fee.

Danny Shittu played an ordinary game in Nigeria's 1-0 win over South Africa in the African Cup of Nations Final. Always nice to have one of your players win a Cup for his country :)

I was, too, as it made no sense to me until I read Marv Vaughans' explanation of it. Then it made more sense and I used it more (sparingly).
Yeah, I may try it, although I did try it for Yahoo, but maybe it was him settling him combined with the "holding up" instruction, but he struggled in the few times I tried it. Also, I'd be more tempted to use that instruction with an AMC or a winger than with a DMC, if only because I want my DMCs to move the ball forward and not keep it when in the center or our zone, just ahead of our defensive line...

Rotherham offer $1.5M for Darren Evans, it's what I asked for in a unreported round of spam a couple of days ago. He doesn't have huge wage and I could kee him around, but the 21yo has got no future with us. I accept their offer.

February 14, 2012
Fábio Rochemback rejects our offer. I offer him $34k per week with a $800k signing fee and $2,000 per appearance.

February 15, 2012
Cardiff want Paul Davies on loan. They're in League One and could be good for him. They offer to pay 100% of his wages and I could recall him should I need to, so I accept their proposal.

I offer $2800 per week with a $10k signing fee to Jason Wilson, as a hot prospect. It's exactly what he wants, wage wise, expect he wanted to be treated as a first teamer. I just can't do that kid, we're not a League Two side here, we got standards and you're not up to them, at least not yet...

February 16, 2012
Rochemback rejects our latest offer. He's now saying he wants $44k per week. I break off talks, we'll talk later...

Oxford want Justin Wall on loan. I reject for the usual reasons...

Remember John Davies? He's a 19yo promising fullback coming from our own youth program. He had surgery early on in the season and is just now back in training. He's got solid defensive skills, with good heading. I try to retrain him to add the "C" to his D R denomination. It's not working too much so far. Well, with Tom Howell, it was mostly to make him more of a fullback, but now he's described as a wonderkid, can't complain there. The other was Ben Watson, trying to train him into an AM R, from a M C denomination, not one bit of change, but I gotta say that Ben has not played as much I would have wanted him to lately...

Just a thank you to FrogMan, that 'primer' you sent to me is helping me understand more of what is going on in the football threads. There is still alot I don't know (and, given I'm not as immersed in the sport as I am baseball, probably never will) but things are making sense.

EURO Cup 1st Knockout Round, Leg 1: we play Bolton at Loftus Road. They're currently in 16th place in the EPL and are 5-4 favourites to win this game.

Craig Crane is suspended for this game after having been sent off in our last match of group play. Anthony Vanden Borre takes the right fullback spot.

Danny Shittu is back with us after missing the last 7 games away on international duty.

Our next game is the second leg on February 23.

Thie game is on TV and key men are presented as being Ahmed Yahiaoui for us and Oribe Peralta for them. They comment that the striker has scored 11 goals in 32 games so far this season.

The Skysports.com prediction is as follows: Bolton have been poor of late and I can see this game fizzling out into a bore draw.

Err, how about us being hot? No love huh?

They last played on February 12, we played on the 11th.

A sweet, sweet play results in us scoring the first goal of the game in the 31st minute. Youssouf Hersi played a very nice through ball for Igor Nadal Lázaro. He swerves to the left and scores his 5th of the season. At this point, we're outshooting them 10(3) to 4(1) but we're terrible at converting great chances into goals.

The half ends with us leading 1-0. We're outshooting them 13(5) to 5(2) so far. They are keeping a whole lotta players in their penalty area.

They tie it in the 68th minute as we let them move on the wing. Center, header, boom, 1-1.

Fábio Rochemback puts us back in the lead in the 88th minute with a beautiful bending shot from 35 yards out. 2-1.

DAMNIT!!! :mad: We let them get right back on the ensuing kickoff as it seems everybody on our defensive side has heard an imaginary final whistle and we let them tie the game 2-2 in the 89th minute. That they tie it is one thing, the worst is that it gives them 2 away goals and away goals are used to break the tie when teams are level after 90 minute in leg 2... This one could come back to haunt us.

Final Score: 2-2

We outshot them 18(8) to 11(6). Yeah it fizzled into a draw, but it had nothing boring about it, let me tell you this.

Marcus Kelly is named Man of the Match with a rating of 10. Anthony Vanden Borre and Fábio Rochemback both rated at 8.

The gate receipt of $1.25M for this game is a new Q.P.R. record, WEEHEE!!! :)

Going back to this last goal that gace them 2 away goals, it now means we just about need to win it straight on their pitch in Leg 2. That, or draw again, but with at least 2 goals, since if we draw 0-0, or 1-1, they'd win on away goals with an aggregate score of 2-2 or 3-3. If we draw 2-2 in Leg 2, we'd go to extra time and in the crazy event that we draw 3-3 or more, we would win on away goals.

Jason Wilson rejects our latest offer. I offer him the same thing money wise, but as a player on squad rotation.

DANG IDIOT!!! :mad: Darren Evans does it again. This time, he snubs Rotherham, saying their contract offer wasn't acceptable. Dude, you're earning $2,600 per week, wasting your time on our reserve squad, what more do you want??? Oh well...

Paul Davies is set to go on loan at Cardiff.

February 18, 2012
Li Tie compains to me about not having enough first team playing time. He says he must be playing first team if he is to stay at Loftus Road. Well, looks like you're on your way out my friend, sorry... You can now start looking for an apartment somewhere else...

Jason Wilson rejects our latest offer. I offer him the same again, this time as a backup to the first team.

The FA Cup Round 6 draw happens even though we've not played our Round 5 match with Middlesbrough. The winner of our match will play Sunderland at home.

That was a rough match against Bolton. In HT, that'd be referred to as a "WTF" game. ;)

EURO Cup 1st Knockout Round, Leg 2: we play Bolton on their pitch. They're 5-4 favourites to win this game.

We're tied 2-2 on aggregate scores, with them getting these 2 important away goals in the first leg. As I said before, away goals will be used as a tie breaker if both teams are level after 90 minute, meaning we need to either win it straight today, draw 2-2 to cause extra time, or draw 3-3, or more, to win it on away goals.

Our next game is the League Cup Final in only three days, against Everton who've not played since February 18. Worst case scenario would be for us to go all the way to penalty kicks today and lose there, killing everybody's condition for the Cup Finale in three days. Losing in regulation would hurt morale, but would leave us with players in better condition for the Cup Finale. Obviously, winning it in regulation today would simply be awseome :)

Igor Biscan is in for David Marek Rozehnal and Fábio Rochemback is in for Ahmed Yahiaoui.

Bolton suffered two injuries in training this week. A striker is out and a centreback is doubtful.

This game is on TV and key men are presented as Youssouf Hersi for us and Kevin Nolan for them. They comment that the midfielder has created 6 goals in the 35 games he's played in so far this season.

The bbc.co.uk/sports prediction is as follows: Both teams are evenly matched and I think this will be a draw.

I certainly hope he's wrong...

In the 28th minute, a long pass forward from César Augusto Fawcett leave Andrew Johnson all alone with the keeper. His kick is stopped by the keeper, but he leaves a long rebound that Youssouf Hersi buries for the 1-0 goal. 3-2 on aggregate. We've been getting tons of chances so far, as we're outshooting them 11(5) to 1(0). We've have some misses, but their keeper has been hot so far. It's actually not the same keeper as in leg 1.

The half ends with us ahead 1-0. We're outshooting them 16(7) to 3(1). Ross McCormack is only rating at 6. He keeps kicking the ball everywhere but on target. I pull him and put Ahmed Yahiaoui in a DMC position as we got to a 4-2-2-1-1 formation.

We again take advantage of a long rebound in the 53rd minute. In fact we had two chances to bury the ball. First Hersi tried a long range shot. Blocked by the keeper, letting a long rebound go. AJ is there but his own kick is again blocked. This time Hersi is there and he won't miss is, scores his 2nd of the game. Up 2-0 on the game, 4-2 on aggregate. That one silenced the home crowd like you wouldn't believe.

As I put in Clemens Fritz around the 60th minute, I thought it had been a while since the last Fritzshow and we get one in the 84th minute, as Fritz has to go past "only one" defender and scores one from short range. Up 3-0 on the game, 5-2 on aggregate.

And wow in the 88th minute. They are attacking desperately but we kick it out. AJ gets the ball all alone with one defender, but he's burned out without a friend to pass the ball to. He holds up play a little and backpass the ball to Fawcett who launches a bomb of a pass, 55 yards forward, to Clemens Fritz, alone with the keeper. For Fritz, that one was just too easy :) Up 4-0, 6-2 on aggregate.

Final Score: 4-0 (6-2 aggregate)

We outshot them 29(18) to 9(3) :eek: Wooooah!!! We simply locked the midfield airtight and crushed them .

Fábio Rochemback is named Man of the Match with a rating of 10. He was instrumental in the middle of the field. This performance may make it mandatory for me to resign him :)

Vanden Borre and Hersi both got rated at 9 while Schmeichel, Fawcett, Shittu, Pearson, and Fritz all got rated at 8.

The best case scenario happens :) The postgame conditions of Youssouf Hersi (68%) and Andrew Johnson (62%) are really low. They may not be ready in three days.

We've been awarded $180k for the win and we're through to the Second Knockout round after winning it 6-2 on aggregate scores.

We will play Wislaw Krakow, a Polish side, in the Second Knockout round. They just beat Betis 1-0 at home, 1-2 away, so 2-2 on aggregate, but they won on away goals 1-0. Leg 1 will be played on March 8 on their pitch with leg 2 happening one week later, March 15, at Loftus Road.

Grrr, Fábio Rochemback now wants $62k per week with a $850k signing fee. Julian Hudson recommends $42k per week. I offer him $50k per week with a signing fee of $1M.

Woah, recently acquired by Everton, 32yo striker Mateja Kezman suffered a fractured skull during a routine training exercise and will miss 3 months. He's scores 3 goals in his last 4 games, that 4th game being the 0-0 draw that Everton played against us. We play Everton in the League Cup Final in two days...

Jason Wilson signs a new deal that will keep him at the club until June 2015. Early prediction: he'll be whining about a lack of first team play before the end of the present season... He simply didn't want to sign as a backup or as a player on a squad rotation. Bah, I'm not one little white lie away, huh? :D

WOAH! Fábio Rochemback has put pen to paper on a lucrative 2 year deal worth $5.4M. Seeing how well he's played lately, I think it's a solid signing, giving us some very good depth with now him, Yahoo, and VB capable of playing the DMC spot very well. Now, let's only hope he won't go back to sucking and yelling at referees as he did earlier in the season, or that my not sending him to suregry won't bite us too hard in his next injury. knock on wood...

League Cup Final: we play Everton at Wembley Stadium. They are currently 9th in the EPL and are 5-4 favourites to win this game.

Igor Biscan is out of commission for 4 days with a stubbed toe suffered in training on February 25 and Quincy Owusu Abeyie is out for 3 more days with a bruised thigh suffered in training this morning. GRRRRR DAMN GAMEDAY INJURIES!!!

Clemens Fritz starts on the right wing, Ahmed Yahiaoui will be backing him up.

Our next game is on February 29, our FA Cup round 5 match against Middlesbrough.

Everton last played on February 18, while we just played on February 23.

This game is on TV and key men are presented as being Stephen Pearson for us, and goalkeeper Richard Wright for them. They point out that Everton have conceded only 31 goals in the 37 games that the experienced keeper has played in.

The TEAMtalk.com prediction is as follows: Everton should come ou on top against Q.P.R. today but it'll be a tight affair. If I had to make a prediction, I'd stick my neck out and say 1-0.

Tom Rigby is the ref for this match, easy tackling everyone!

The first half ends scoreless. They're outshooting us 9(4) to 4(1). Both wingers' conditions are at 77%. I leave them in, but they'll need to be subbed soon.

We got to a 4-2-2-2 formation in the 61st minute. Stephen Pearson goes to DMC and Ahmed Yahiaoui comes in at right winger for Clemens Fritz.

ARRRRGGG!!!! A shot on goal is deflected off James Collins and goes in, down 0-1!

ARRRRRRRRRGGG!!!! Ross McCormack is called for a foul and gets pissed at the referee. DAMNED IDIOT!!! He receives a second yellow and is sent off, we'll have to finish with 10 men on the pitch.

They go 4-2-4 in the 87th minute, trying to go for the kill?

In injury time, we're putting tons of pressure and Kasper Schmeichel comes to join the offense not once, but twice on corner kicks... to no avail... :(

Final Score: 0-1

They outshot us 15(7) to 11(3). It's so frustrating, especially to lose on a lucky deflection, but it was a very close game. We did put a lot of pressure on them in the end, with only 10 men, but we simply couldn't convert the big one.

Kasper Schmeichel was our best player, with a rating of 9. Fábio Rochemback got rated at 8. However, Ross McCormack and Ahmed Yahiaoui both got rated at only 6.

McCormack gets an automatic one match ban for having been sent off. I issue him a formal warning. You gotta be brighter than to go yell at Rigby or Styles...

Later in the day, he tells me he feels the warning was harsh and unfair. Your lucky dude, I seriously thought about dcoking you a week of pay...

Rotherham want Darren Evans on loan. I may understand why he didn't want to sign a contract with them as they offer to pay only 70% of his $2,600 weekly wage. If they offered him a contract worth $1,800 or so a week, I now understand why he snubbed them. I tell them it's 100% or nothing and I send the proposal back.

Leyton Orient also want him on loan, but they say they'd pay 100% of his wage and I could call him back if I needed to. I accept.

Hereford are the latest to ask for Darren Evans to come play on loan for them. They'd also pay 100% of his wage and I accept.

They also want Jason Wilson on loan. My answer on him is the same as for Justin Wall. I want him to keep on training with the club.
