AFC Wimbledon 2017/2018 Squad Report


Another season has come to an end so here is my squad report for this, my most successful season by far. Any feedback/suggestions for future squad reports appreciated!


Starting Eleven (3-5-2)
*=Youth Academy Graduate
**=Player Growth Status



*GK - Christophe Brown (18yrs 68 OVR): 9/10
47 Appearances - 17 Clean Sheets
**Has Potential To Be Special
He was promoted in May of last season to be back up for Ross Worner, but he excelled in the preseason and took Worner's starting spot for the first game of the season. His form carried over to the league and he never let go of his starting spot. Worner was eventually sold due to poor form and this kid handled the pressure perfectly. Definitely a player for the future, irreplaceable.

RCB - Tom Lees (27 yrs 72 OVR): 7/10
45 Appearances - 2 Goals
Joined the team in the summer to solidify the defense and he definitely fulfilled his role. He's had his bad matches like everyone else, but overall he did well. Despite playing well he hasn't seen much growth, and there's a few players in the B team that aspire to make it to the first team. Lees' spot is the most at risk in the back 3.

CB - Ryan Tafazolli (26 yrs 75 OVR): 8/10
45 Appearances
This player has been with the club since League 2 and has always been a solid for us in defense. His potential is 67, so the fact that he's grown to 75 shows how well he's been playing for us.

LCB - Jack Baldwin (24 yrs 74 OVR): 7/10
45 Appearances - 1 Goal & 1 Assist
He's been one of our best signings but I must say he played better last season when he was at RCB. This season on the left he's had more than a few bad matches, but we know he can do better. When he's having a good day he's almost impossible to get through though.

CDM - Harry Pell (26 yrs 69 OVR): 9/10
45 Appearances - 2 Goals & 7 Assists
At 6'4", Engine and Strength trait, he's vital in holding the midfield. He's only at 69, but he's held his own many times against "superior" players like Juan Mata and Thorgan Hazard.

RM - Elliott Hewitt (24 yrs 74 OVR): 10/10
45 Appearances - 2 Goals & 23 Assists
He's naturally a RB but he's my most dangerous man on the wings. He reached the Speedster trait, making it easy for him to drop back and help Lees in defense. He's leading the league in assists for the second time in a row. I don't understand why he hasn't been called up to Wales more consistently.

*RCM - Mario Ruiz (18 yrs 72 OVR): 8/10
45 Appearances - 5 Goals & 2 Assists
**An Exciting Prospect
Our offensive touch in midfield. He's been growing into an incredible player with all of his stats growing really well. His physical stats are the only ones that haven't changed but I'm expecting that to change once he turns 19. Due to his low defensive work rate he tends to stay up like a CF between the two strikers when we're on top of the opponent. He still has enough defensive sacrifice to help out when it's the other way around though so his low defensive work rate is not a problem.

*LCM - Shaun Vincent (18 yrs 73 OVR): 7/10
44 Appearances - 5 Goals & 2 Assists
**Showing Great Potential
He has a great understanding with Ruiz in midfield and like Ruiz his physical stats haven't grown. He had lost his starting spot to Odhlambo in the middle of the season, but the team was less offensive without him on the field even though he hardly stands out on the field.

LM - Jacob Murphy (23 yrs 77 OVR): 7/10
44 Appearances - 4 Goals & 9 Assists
He has great defensive sacrifice, but I wish he was a little more risky when we're attacking. He hardly makes runs into space and instead stays in midfield, ready to drop back. When he does make runs, he's great at crossing the ball or taking the shot.

RS - Luke James (23 yrs 75 OVR): 7/10
33 Appearances - 11 Goals & 9 Assists
He had been struggling to adapt to our football since joining from Hartlepool, but once he began playing with the B team we found that he's best as a creative striker. He adds speed to our attack with the ability to get aerial shots as well, but he's not too good at shielding the ball due to his low strength.

LS - Terry Gornell (c) (28 yrs 73 OVR): 10/10
45 Appearances - 33 Goals & 5 Assists
Since joining from Cheltenham Town my 2nd season he has become a strong leader and a predator on the field. He wasn't able to break his 37 goal record from my 3rd season, but being the top scorer in the Premier League is a huge accomplishment for any striker.


Wimbledon B Team (3-5-2)

*GK - Adam Cowie (19 yrs 69 OVR): 7/10
10 Appearances - 3 Clean Sheets
**Has Potential To Be Special
He's a good goalkeeper but gives away too many goals from rebounds. He'll play the same role with the B team next season. The only reason he's rated higher than Brown is because when I recalled him from loan following Worner's sale his growth reset. He had grown from 62 to 66 while on loan and then grew from 66 to 69 after January.

*RCB - Craig May (18 yrs 68 OVR): 8/10
19 Appearances - 2 Goals
**Has Potential To Be Special
He struggled while adapting to football at the senior level when I first promoted him, but as the season progressed he had good stat growth and eventually became my most solid defender with the B team. He's still slow, but he has great tackling stats and stands at 6'5" making him very difficult to get through.

CB - Danny Wilson (26 yrs 70 OVR): 8/10
17 Appearances
A great addition to the B team, he definitely helped solidify our back line and his performances earned him a ticket to the World Cup, something he only dreamed about when he was at Hearts. Definitely a player to keep but I don't see him playing with the first team unless it's to cover an injury. (Knock on wood!)

LCB - Jack Stephens (24 yrs 67 OVR): 6/10
15 Appearances - 1 Goal
He was definitely an improvement in our back line but his performances weren't the best. Looking back I should have brought him in on loan instead of permanent transfer.

*CDM - Scott Moore (17 yrs 65 OVR): 7/10
22 Appearances - 1 Goal
**Showing Great Potential
Only 65 OVR but many times he made me consider starting him ahead of Pell. He has great tackling and good height for a CDM 6'2". I just wish his growth would speed up a bit.

*RM - Diego Ortiz (19 yrs 73 OVR): 8/10
24 Appearances - 1 Goal & 6 Assists
**Has Potential To Be Special
As soon as his physical stats begin growing this kid is going to be a beast. He has great ball control and passing, but his stamina and pace is terrible. He's listed as a LW but he did a great job dropped back to help out in defense. Since promoting him I've gotten offers from Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund for him. I've denied both, but if this season I get another offer for him I'm going to have to accept. Can't hold him back anymore and as I said his pace and stamina are the only things keeping him with the B team and not the starting eleven.

*RCM - Richard Odhlambo (18 yrs 73 OVR): 7/10
39 Appearances - 3 Assists
**Has Potential To Be Special
His passing and ball control are exceptional, but the times I played him ahead of Vincent the team couldn't get anything better than a draw. He's been growing really fast too, so next season could be his break through.

LCM - Luke Moore (c) (30 yrs 65 OVR): 6/10
41 Appearances - 3 Goals & 1 Assist
I would hate letting this player go but at 30 years old his time is coming to an end. He started this season on fire, playing great with the B team and was a great substitute when the first team was behind, but as we neared the end of the season his confidence went down and sometimes he wouldn't even get a touch on the ball when he was subbed in. He's been loyal to the club since 2009, never gave me any problems, so I may let him retire with us if he so desires to.

LM - Luke Freeman (26 yrs 72 OVR): 7/10
28 Appearances - 2 Goals & 8 Assists
Brought in on a free transfer a couple seasons ago, he's a good squad player to have but he wants more than that. The whole season he's been between "content" and "unhappy" but there's no way I could start him ahead of Murphy or Hewitt. I'll have to review my options with him.

RS - Sam Vokes (28 yrs 71 OVR): 7/10
31 Appearances - 13 Goals & 13 Assists
Brought in to be my first choice left striker, and he did terrible there. Left striker is my target man, and he was hardly ever able to get to a header and when he did it was off target most of the time. I was patient with him for a long time until taking him down to the B team where he continued to struggled. Eventually I played him as right striker and that's where his form went up. He's my biggest earner at the club with a $25,000 wage so if he's gonna have that kind of wage I expect him to be with my first team, not the B team.

LS - Tyler Harvey (22 yrs 73 OVR): 8/10
36 Appearances - 14 Goals & 4 Assists
I was really surprised with this guy. All his time in midfield helped him develop his footwork which in turn contributed to him being a dangerous striker. He was named the best player in the FA Cup, and made many appearances as a substitute with the first team in midfield. It's great to have a versatile player like him in the squad.


Reserves

CB - Aaron Morris (28 yrs 67 OVR): 6/10
23 Appearances - 2 Assists
I usually brought him on when the team was ahead and we needed to defend that lead, but I think his time with the club has come to an end with the youth players that are climbing the ranks. His stats have been decreasing since last season, most likely because he outgrew his potential.

RB - Barry Fuller (33 yrs 62 OVR): 5/10
14 Appearances
I was expecting him to retire this season but he surprised me with wanting to keep playing. He's been an extremely important player for us since I first joined Wimbledon and that's why I kept trying to extend his contract for another year but his agent got in the way and refused any offer I sent him. Unfortunately he has left the club on contract expiry. He will definitely be missed, a historical AFC Wimbledon player.

LB - Tom Richards (23 yrs 68 OVR): 7/10
[i]19 Appearances - 2 Assists[/b]
Humbled by his season away from the club on loan this kid gave me no problems this season and was a good second half sub at LM. He's fast, he can cross, and he helps out in defense. Replaceable but I think I'll keep him for the same role next season.

*CM - Matthew Saah (18 yrs 65 OVR): 6/10
12 Appearances
Unfortunately with the promotion of Scott Moore his playing time took a huge fall. I'll try to send him out on loan this season.

ST - Max Clayton (23 yrs 74 OVR): 9/10
49 Appearances - 22 Goals & 5 Assists
An outstanding second half sub; a super sub. He has crazy speed which made him even more dangerous in front of a tired defense. I find his game to be limited though, he's extremely fast but lacks strength and height. His playing style does not match mine, except when we are behind and I need to play fast, that's when our styles coincide. He was never too happy with his playing time but subbing him in almost every match kept him content. If I get an offer for him, I'll have to let him go. I don't want to do what Manchester United did to Chicharito. If not, he'll keep playing the same role with us.


Out On Loan

*LM - Kyle Shelvey (20 yrs 66 OVR): N/A
A very unproductive loan spell where he did not grow a single stat. He's a first generation youth along with Mario Ruiz and Diego Ortiz, but I may transfer list him next season or give him another loan chance.

*ST - Scott Wilson (17 yrs 64 OVR): N/A
Another unproductive loan spell. I was expecting to see growth with him but his only growth were from when he was with the us. On loan he didn't grow a single stat. As soon as he came back he grew to 64. I'll be looking to loan him out again.


Recently Promoted

*GK - Mark Watt (17 yrs 58 OVR): N/A
Will be loan listed.

*LB - Scott Stewart (16 yrs 67 OVR): N/A
Still unsure whether I'll keep him or send him on loan.

*LB - Dean Rhodes (16 yrs 70 OVR): N/A
**Has Potential To Be Special
He made his debut against Southampton at CB and finished the match with an 8.0 match rating. All of his tackles were spot on and at 6'6" nothing went over him. He'll play with the B team and careful, he might even be called up to Scotland this season depending on how much he grows. He first needs to get at least 72 OVR which is my back up CB's overall in the national team.

*ST - Conor Marsden (17 yrs 55 OVR): N/A
Will be loan listed. Looking forward to seeing him grow.

*CF - Michael Thompson (17 yrs 66 OVR): N/A
**Has Potential To Be Special
I was planning on keeping him, but I think the best choice will be to loan him. No way he'll get decent minutes with Max Clayton getting subbed in most matches. Another player I'm really looking forward to seeing grow!


First update of the new season should be posted later today depending on how work goes! 😁
Thanks for Reading!

Press Conference

Q: You have officially been knocked out of the F.A. Cup in what was a rematch of last years final. Liverpool proved to be too much this time and your attempt to defend the trophy has ended in the quarter finals. What led to the loss this year?

A: We were forced to play a lot of our reserve players for this game coming off of 2 days of rest from our Europa League win over Club Brugge. Unfortunately we weren't able to commit enough of our resources into our lineup to secure a win. It would have been great to win it again, but our chance to move further in the Europa League was considered a higher priority.

Q: Speaking of the Europa League, you have advanced into the quarter finals, and won your first leg against Lazio convincingly. What do you feel your chances are in this competition?

A: I am very proud of the performances the players have been putting in against European competition. This was our chance to spread Morecambe's brand, and to prove the quality of our club. I think we have done just that. I think we have what it takes to make it to the finals, but that all depends on who we draw, and how we play on match day.

Q: You are sitting 6th, tied on points with Manchester City for 5th in the Premier League. You had been in 3rd for some time but you fell to both Arsenal and Chelsea this month causing the drop. You still have a game in hand, but so does City. Where do you realistically see your club finishing in the table?

A: After the success we have put together over the past few months, I think it wouldn't be unreasonable to set our eyes on a Champions League spot. I think that we are ready for the competition, although it won't be easy. We will need to keep our focus sharp and finish the season strong because in this league you can't count on other clubs to start dropping points ahead of you.

Press Conference before Arsenal Match

How do you feel going into your first London derby in charge of Chelsea

Hard to say but were 5 points clear and haven’t kept a clean sheet, meanwhile they (Arsenal) are not so strong in attack but have a rock solid back 4 and some unlucky decisions from refs. So I’d say it’s a bit unfair to compare Arsene’s team with mine and decide that were the favourites

Who do you think will win and if so what is your predicted score

I don’t like to judge and compare teams after 6 matches but if I had to I think it would be a 2 all draw

Are you expecting any standout players?

As I said earlier 6 matches is far to short of time to compare players but Mario (Gomez) will be a tough challenge to stop

You’ve acted very ill confidant so far, so do you think you can win?

Yes I believe we can beat them (Arsenal) but I don’t like to act cocky and have haters knocking on my front door, but I have the team to beat this season and my players know that this an important match in our season

What about Cesc (Fabregas), How do you think he will cope facing his old teammates?

Players come to a team while others go, this Arsenal team is very different to the one a couple of years ago, for example he (Fabregas) never played with Szczesny or Ozil, Instead he played with Almunia and Robin Van Persie. Arsenal fans don’t get this but Cesc is a tough lad and won’t let a couple of boos down his spirit
