I know, everybody has sent me messages about it. The hair. I have a poster of Marouane Fellaini in my room and I have always loved his play - he is agressive and a fighter. I figured that if he can rock such a beautiful hair style, why couldn't I? Therefore, I got it done. I don't know if people are jelous or they just don't appreciate the 'fro, but I don't care as long as I like it. Look at it, it is amazing! Me scoring my second! Right, so where was I. Oh yeah, the month itself! Our first game was against Wycombe. Me and my new number aaaaand my new hairstyle were ready to conquer. My first shot came very early, three minutes in, to be exact. I turned around, ran into the box, did a fake shot past the defender to leave me open and scored! 1-0, up early. Right after that, we got another chance. I passed it into the middle, hoping Amond would score, yet the keeper was on his game. Wycombe came back though, as their passing game left Paul Hayes open in the box. He scored, we were back 1-1. So, a few minutes after their goal, I got tripped up in the box and earned a penalty. I thought instantly - huh, haven't had one of these in a while. Keeper jumped left, I went top right - 2-0!! I was feeling it. And when I mean that I was feeling it, I WAS REALLY FEELING IT. The confidence in me was unreal. I got the ball, went passed 3 defenders and slotted it into the bottom corner! Hat-trick! Sure, Wycombe scored back with some good passing play - a through-ball right through our whole defense left Scowen open and he scored, but that did not stop me. As Wycombe sent more bodies up to attack and to get the tie, I got open in a counter and got an amazing over the top ball played to me. I was 1-on-1 with the keeper - guess what I did? I SCORED! To top it all off, I again, got the ball, went past a defender and just hammered it into the top right corner. FIVE GOALS. We won 5-2. I have no idea if it was the afro or the number change or something, I felt absolutely beastly. I am pretty sure my play sent a message in the league - don't mess with us. And it did, oh it really did. After the game, I got a mail saying something like this: Hello Thomas Cruzerr, the English National Football team would like to send you an invitation to join the squad for the upcoming European Cup qualifier games against Sweden and Bulgaria. Hope for a quick response, Roy Hodgson I literally lost it, oh my god. I couldn't believe it - a 19 year old playing international football? Get out of here. I thought that I probably wouldn't get to play, but atleast I was in the mix! I then checked the mail and realised that it was from a mate of mine, trying to prank me. Kinda heartbroken about it, but I hope that the letter will be legit soon. How did that guy behind our defenders trip? So, our next game was the Paint trophy game against Bradford City. After such a strong game, I felt really confident to score. It looked bad though, as they took the lead early. The ball was bouncing in our box, one of their players managed to head it infront of their player Yeates, who put it past the keeper. We were playing well after that though, I was passing it around and we were taking good shots - yet we couldn't score. I hit the post twice, Hughes hit the bar - it was turning out to be a disaster. Then, it happened. I was feeling really tired, honestly. So many games, I wasn't used to such a thing. I got tackled behind and felt this pain in my calf. It was terrible. The coaches carried me off and took me to the emergency center for a quick scan. It turned out that I had torn my calf muscle. I was so mad that I threw my boots to the wall, breaking most of the studs on them. I later found out that we lost the game and were out of the cup aswell. Things were not good at the moment. I was at prime form and injured. The physio told me that I would miss 3 months of playing time. The ironic part was that there was an article that came out the day before the game against Bradford. Morecambe's Cruzerr received an endorsement from his manager today after providing some great performances in recent matches. "I set some targets for him and he went on doing everything I asked of him. His play recently is key to our squad and I'm very happy with what he's accomplished recently," stated the Morecambe manager. I don't know what to say, guys. I guess this is it for this time. I feel too sad to make this post any longer. However, I promise that I will come back stronger than before. Hopefully the team can keep performing well. I hope you have a good time guys, till next time! Spoiler Right, so due to the injury, nobody got it right, therefore no changes this time. This is the full list on what you can change. YOU CAN CHANGE ONLY ONE THING! EVERYTHING IN THE BRACKETS NEXT TO THING IS WHAT YOU CAN CHANGE WITH IT. For example, if you change the eyes, you can change the shape, detail and the color of them; not just one of them. :P Spoiler Kit Name Kit Number [can't change it for the next 4 post due it just being changed by sportsfreak] ---- Hair (style, colour, facial hair style-colour) [Can't change it for the next 5 post due to it just being changed by Chico; you can change the FACIAL HAIR] Eyes (shape, detail, colour) Complexion (even if it will look weird, I will give you the option to do that) Brows (placement, shape) Ears (placement, shape) Nose (placement, style, profile, nostrils and its detail) Cheeks (placement, shape) Mouth (position, lips, lip style) Jaw Chin ---- Boots [Can't change for the next 6 posts due to being changed by Keano; it will change next post.] Ankle tape and its colour Kit Fit Waist (untucked, tucked) Sock height ---- Free kick style Penalty kick style Default running celebration Signature running move Right, so now a new one! Slight spoiler, but when Cruzerr returns at late December, he will have 3 games left before the month ends. How many goals do you think he will score? I hope you enjoyed the read, take care!

That game against Wycombe was great! Bad luck with the injury and with not getting an assist. I'm going big and I'll say that you score four goals.

I'm enjoying these updates a lot! What overall is your player?

Managers Thoughts
Febuary

Started the month well with the draw and the win, that win being the first win of the season for us in the league. However, I think that high caused us too lose concentration causing us to give up a lead at home and lose two games after the goodish form. The team I think have adapted well to my tactics and the myself changing the starting 11 each game to find the right 11. Overall Fulham fans should feel confident that the team can get out of this mess.

Managers Thoughts
March

Told you Fulham fans. 3 months ago did you ever think we would have an undefeated month. We are still 9 points away from safety. But the team is clicking extremely well. We have gained 20 points since I joined (Overallwe have 26) and with a extremely important month ahead the team is aiming for 40 plus points. I have a selection headache. Rodallega has been a consistant scorer, but McCormack came back from International break on fire, After being injured for his first few months at the club and when he came back in early December he was frozen out of Magath team. I selected him for his first game in Fulham colours against Southampton in the FA Cup but failed to impres being dropped to the bench and not really coming on. Don't what happened in the Scotland camp but he trained well after and I subbed him in the Brighton game and he completely took charge scoring two and winning the penalty he scored. Leckie has come back from injury and will be fighting for one of four attacking spots (I play 4-2-3-1) Ruiz, Roberts and Kacaniklic have been in top form behind the Striker. Also Taggart and young Dembele are knocking on the door too. The team enjoys playing now and want too do their best for the club and the fans.

Thanks for reading Feedback always nice to read

We are still dominating the league play and are still advancing in the FA Cup our next match is against Newcastle in December. We are now moving into November, we won our reverse fixture against Athelitico Madrid to move up in the Champions League table. So in November we will continue to fight in the league play and in Champions League play.

I'd be interested to see how you handle Dagenham. Rabbit has been bringing them up through the divisions almost entirely with the youth academy, so it'd be cool to see how you approach the same situation. As for United, you should continue winning comfortably in the league and cup, especially with such a strong team. As for being on the PS4/XB1, it's a completely different experience. The game is a lot richer, and you can live with some of the bugs and glitches because the quality of gameplay is that good.

Jeu à la Nantaise: February 2015




Lille 3-1 Nantes
MOTM: Marvin Martin (LIL)

Fatigue seems to have crept up on Nantes like a demon from the shadows. Serge Gakpe scored Les Canaris' only goal as Lille bagged three through Ronny Rodelin, Idrissa Gueye, and Marvin Martin. The latter was in particularly flash form, creating plenty of chances from just behind the strikers to fuel speculation that he could be on his way to either Paris Saint-Germain or Juventus once the summer window opens.

"We had an off day," said Indi Blue. "It wasn't a game we'll look back on, but we've got to come back in the next few matches with strong performances. It will prove paramount for us to look at the bright side of the situation. We still compete for Europe with a chance at the top three, and we've a cup final next month against one of the best French teams. Long-term, it's just another loss to a team who earned it."


Nice 1-2 Nantes
MOTM: Remy Riou (FCN)

Danilo Cataldi put the visitors up close to the break, and Yaya Sanogo doubled the lead right at the end of the first half. Dario Cvitanich capitalised on a wayward pass from Papiss Djilobodji to score late on, denying Nantes the clean sheet but providing too little for any sort of positive result. Indi Blue was quite pleased with his team.

"We did enough going forward to win the game, so I'm not going to sweat over that late goal. A lot of my boys have been playing two or three games a week. They're in need of rest, and that international break next month can't come quickly enough."


Nantes 2-0 Bastia
MOTM: Serge Gakpe (FCN)

Serge Gakpe scored twice within six minutes in the first half to put Nantes on a comfortable path to victory. The rest of the team did not let his effort go in vain, putting in a joint performance to prevent Bastia from creating substantial chances. Indi Blue was extremely proud of his team, waxing lyrical about them at full time.

"You can't fault us at all today. I think we let them have two shots on goal, and both of those were speculative efforts from outside the box. Serge proved his quality again, and I won't be surprised if he ends up as the top scorer this season. He's been fantastic going forward, but he also helps defend. As a manager, you have no idea how important it is to have that kind of player, who gives everything for the team."


Montpellier 0-3 Nantes
MOTM: Remy Riou (FCN)

Nantes produced another fine performance against a mid-table side, surging to third with victory over Montpellier and capitalising on Marseille's shock loss to Stade de Reims. Serge Gakpe fired home Nantes' first of the game, bringing his season tally in the league to 15. He then put in the cross that Hilton diverted into his own net, before teeing up Danilo Cataldi in injury time for a third goal. Remy Riou commanded the other end of the pitch, making 11 fantastic saves to deny Montpellier any joy.

"I feel for their player who scored an own goal, but winning like this is an amazing feeling," said Indi Blue. "Nobody imagined that we could break into the top three, but here we are. I would love to kick on from here and qualify for the Champions League, but let's be realistic. Marseille are in fantastic form and have depth to spare, while we have a group of dedicated but tired legs. I'm going to stick with a realistic approach."


Lyon 1-1 Nantes
MOTM: Alejandro Bedoya (FCN)

Clement Grenier's free kick in the third minute set the ball rolling for Lyon, who dominated the first half with more possession and more chances. A small but clever tweak at halftime saw Indi Blue swap the 4-2-3-1 for a narrow 4-4-2 diamond, and Alejandro Bedoya unconventionally replacing Issa Cissokho at right back. The move paid off, as Bedoya found himself in acres of space towards the end of the game, hitting a piledriver that ricocheted off the post and into the net with minutes to go.

"I'd say we were quite lucky to draw," said Indi. "Lyon could have and should have scored at least three times in the first half, but a mixture of profligacy and bad luck didn't let that happen. We played much better in the second half, though we were never close to being the better team for more than a few minutes. I moved Alex to right back so that he could use that vicious shot of his from distance after everyone had crowded the box, and he didn't disappoint us. We'll call it a lucky point earned."


Nantes 2-0 Guingamp
MOTM: Serge Gakpe (FCN)

Serge Gakpe's second-half brace elevated him to 17 goals for the season, putting him ahead of Marseille winger Andre Ayew as the top scorer in Ligue 1. The first was a rare but lovely header of real quality, scored from Olivier Veigneau's cross, while the second was a routine spot kick awarded after Itay Schechter was tripped in the box.

According to Indi Blue, "You always want to follow up a draw or loss with a win. The boys showed us that they are serious players. We might have lost our spot in the top three, but there's no disappointment. Everyone understands the situation, and we're happy to keep winning. If we continue doing that, the rest will take care of itself."

Shockwaves as Djilobodji's statement goes public

Papiss Mison Djilobodji, the towering Senegalese defender who captains Nantes, has released a statement following extended contract negotiations with the club. In it, the athletic centre back effectively ended his career with the historically Breton club, claiming that he had outgrown his role with the team and would leave in the summer.

"It is with great regret that I must inform everyone of my intention to leave FC Nantes in the upcoming transfer window," the statement read. "My time at the club has been fantastic, and it has been an honour and a privelege to captain this team this past season. However, after prolonged discussions with Indi Blue and other members of the board, it is my understanding that my career would best be suited by a move to a bigger club. I wish to play in the Champions League, and I think I have proven my quality enough to show that I deserve that opportunity. At the age of 27, I do not have many years left at the top of the game, and I hope everyone understands that I am doing what is best for my career and my family. Again, it has been my honour and privelege to have served you as captain and player. Vive le Nantes."


Papiss Djilobodji has already been linked with Tottenham

Fans of the club were outraged after Djilobodji released what Nantes management has termed "an irresponsible way of voicing concerns that ought to have remained private and confidential". However, this may be a case of dubious representation, a the player himself alleged in a lengthy post via Instagram, claiming that the first document was not intended for release before the end of the ongoing campaign.

"The statement being circulated is true, but I regret that it has become public knowledge earlier than scheduled. I don't know how this document got leaked, but it should not have been made public until I informed the club of my decision after the end of the season. I will be speaking with my representatives to find out how this happened, and anyone found guilty of using my stature and position to further his own agenda will receive the full extent of my anger. I don't deny that the contents of the statement reflect what is in my heart, but I never intended for this to become public until I had given my teammates and manager the respect of informing them first."

Indi Blue was quite upset with his defender, but expressed confidence that Nantes' season would not be affected. "Obviously, this should have remained confidential until it was time to make it public, but you can't change what's already been done. I've spoken to Papiss, and I genuinely believe that it was a mistake caused by some not-so-ideal people who claim to represent his interests, but it doesn't end with that. Some of the other players at this club feel betrayed that Papiss has made this decision long before the final outcome of the season. It's a sentiment I can understand, and I think everyone involved has a right to feel upset, especially the supporters."

With several critical games coming up, including next month's Couple de la Ligue final against Marseille, it remains to be seen if Djilobodji will play a part in any of the remaining matches. However, it's with him in the lineup that Nantes stand their best chance of ending the season on a successful note, making it in the club's best interest if the team can put their grievances to one side and get on with playing. But will they?

Player of the Month



Serge Gakpe returned to his best form with a string of blistering, dynamic, explosive performances. He scored 6 goals and registered 3 assists to help Nantes keep up their challenge on the European spots, and rose to the top of the Ligue 1 scoring charts.

you have my blessing to roll with Dagenham

[Kenny77]

Hey guys, I was just wondering does anyone have any suggestions for good, centre backs that won't be too expensive?

[_ChicoBass]

Gents, I think I am ready to start another career. I have decided to start one in the Liga Adelante. I've never been able to maintain a career in Spain for longer than 2 seasons, I don't know I just lose interest playing in Spain, so hopefully I will be able to keep this one going at least a little longer than that. I still haven't decided which team to use though. I'm currently in between two clubs, one is a promotion candidate, and the other one is far down the pecking order. I'm leaning heavily towards the promotion candidate, but I have a little history with the other. I had a career with them on FIFA 13 that I really enjoyed but their kits on 15 are so simple that I feel I would get bored even faster with them. I have began typing an introduction for one of them although I haven't made my decision yet. More to come later!
