STOKE CITY SEASON 1

November


Match 10


Stoke City 0 - 0 West Ham United

In a Dour match at the Britannia Stadium chances were few and far between and a dogged West Ham defence kept Stoke at Bay. Stokes early form seems to be disappearing with Bojan a shadow of his former self.

Tottenham Hotspur 3 - 3 Stoke City


Diouf 6
Soldado 32
Moses 45
Lennon 70
Diouf 89

Overview

A good month for Stoke City remaining unbeaten and climbing to 4th spot on goal difference. A proud but cautious Stuart Brown told the assembled press that he was loving his job at the moment and hopes that December will bring more success. December will be a pivotal month as there are some tough games with away trips to Old Trafford and Goodison Park also home matches against Arsenal and Chelsea not to mention a Cup quarter final and league game against close rivals West Brom.




(ok guys ive been looking at other peoples youth teams and I am struggling to find the same quality players that you have, with one exception. Do I need to be more patient and picky? I have 4 and 5 star scouts. Thanks guys and keep up the good work)

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

FIFA '14 question: Has anyone else noticed this glitch where your player won't jump for the ball during corner kicks? It's been happening to me since last season, but now that I started season 6 it's happening much more frequently per match and it's giving the CPU easy goals. Anyone know how to prevent it?

This is getting worse. It's at the point where my heart starts pumping hard each time there is a corner for the opposition because I know it's a sure goal against me. No matter what I try my player(s) will just stand around the box without jumping while the opponent jumps and heads the ball. Sometimes they don't even need to jump to hit the ball. I just had a play where the opposing player was literally able to bring the corner kick down with his chest and then shoot and score. I don't get why my players can't defend corners anymore.

Have you tried it on kick off or ultimate team to see if the problem still exists?

August 2018 - Season 6
FIFA '14

Spoiler

AFC Wimbledon 2 - 3 Tottenham
TOT: Paulinho PEN 14' Eriksen 53' Ibarbo 57'
WIM: Gornell 43' Paterson 80'
Red Card: Tarkowski 14'
A terrible start for an optimistic Wimbledon who are looking to finish in the top 4 again. Wimbledon were playing a great game until their new, record-breaking signing Tarkowski received a red card for a late slide tackle on Leandro Paredes inside the box. Gornell equalized the match but then Tottenham stretched the lead to 3-1. It looked like Wimbledon would stage a comeback on Tottenham again after Paterson's goal but Lloris recorded a total of 9 saves in the match and kept a 10-man Wimbledon from taking 2 points from them.

Champions League - Qualifying Round
Panathinaikos 0 - 2 AFC Wimbledon
WIM: Tafazolli 77' Tarkowski 85'
The Wimbledon midfield and defense played a solid match but their strikers are still dragging their preseason form. Paterson and Gornell are still struggling to find the net. The new partnership has been doing so bad that in this match it was the defenders that gave the Dons the lead.

Everton 0 - 0 AFC Wimbledon
Yet another bad match for Wimbledon as the strikers continue to fail getting a goal even though they are creating incredible chances for each other. Youth academy graduate Shaun Vincent has also been in bad form which contributes to the lack of link up play between the midfield and the strikers. Vincent was a starter last season, but with Odhlambo improving his game each month and Tyler Harvey putting in great performances with the B team, we wouldn't be surprised if Vincent spends some time on the bench in the near future.

Champions League - Qualifying Round
AFC Wimbledon 1(3) - 0(0) Panathinaikos
WIM: Clayton 90'
The Wimbledon B team played a good match with Clayton getting a late goal winner as is common for him even though he played the full match tonight. Wimbledon may be struggling in the league so far, but the Wombles are going to the UEFA Champions League!

Copa Europe

Real Madrid 2 - 1 AFC Wimbledon
WIM: Gornell 15'
REA: Bale 47' Balotelli 111'
Heart breaker of a match for the Dons. The Wombles exposed Real Madrid's back line time and time again but the Uruguayan goalkeeper Fernando Muslera saved Los Merengues each time. Real Madrid were barely able to take Wimbledon to extra time where Mario Balotelli, the joint World Cup top scorer with Paterson, scored the winning goal. Jack Baldwin had sent an easy pass to Jacob Murphy who strangely just let the ball roll past him and straight to Ballotelli who then dribbled the ball towards the box wide open and took a powerful shot to defeat the Wimbledon goalkeeper. Murphy had been playing a great match, but this terrible mistake caused the fans to boo him for the rest of the match as this is not the first time he makes the same mistake and let's an easy pass roll right past him. One of the key points of the match was the battle between the two Welsh players on each side, Gareth Bale and Elliott Hewitt (pictured above). The Wimbledon player made sure Bale was neutralized whenever they shared the right wing, and Hewitt repeatedly found himself unmarked in Real's half. Eventually, Bale switched wings with Madrid's recent star signing Eden Hazard.

Transfer Activity
Deadline Day
Continued from here: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...p?p=2046629718

ST - Tom Eaves (26yrs 69OVR): $1,500,000 purchase from Shrewsbury
Chavez sent several offers to get Eaves on loan but Shrewsbury refused to allow their star striker go out on loan even with a big option to buy. On deadline day, Chavez finally sent an offer for a permanent purchase which Shrewsbury happily accepted. The 6'5" striker was not able to impress with Bolton Wanderers and thus was not called back from his loan with Shrewsbury. Wimbledon offer him a chance not only for redemption, but also for Premier League and European football. Eaves will join Wimbledon later today and is expected to debut with the B team in the upcoming league match against Fulham.

Departures

LM - Kyle Shelvey (20yrs 66 OVR): Loaned to Derby County
LB - Scott Stewart (16yrs 67 OVR): Loaned to Burnley

4. Martial: Monaco -> Tottenham for $29,500,000

Notable Youth Academy Players

Ben Sweeney - CM (61-65, 83-89): At only 15 years old this midfielder from England has already been labeled as being gifted technically. He hasn't made any appearances with the U-17 yet, so we can only speculate how good he really is base on the youth staff's reports.

Chris McGinn - CDM(61-65, 87-93): The 16 year old from Northern Ireland has finally chosen CDM as his position of choice. He's considered to be physically strong, but may not be promoted until next year.

Jamie Mannus - CDM (60-64, 82-88): This 16 year old from Northern Ireland has a bright future ahead of him. He stands at 6'5" and prefers playing as a defensive midfielder. Competition between him and Sean Archer in the U-17 is very close, with Mannus being more defensive minded. We expect great things from these two players.

Matt Cameron - CAM (56-60, 76-82): Offensive-minded 15 year old from England recently had a drop in potential. Needs at least one more season in the youth academy.

Ruaidhri Mannus - CDM(65-69, 85-91): It is still to be confirmed but it looks like this is Jamie Mannus's older brother. 17 year old from Northern Ireland is labeled as a technically gifted midfielder.

Scott McGabe - CDM (65-69, 85-91): The 16 year old from Scotland has been compared his compatriot Sean Archer as they both have similar playing styles. Both are defensive, playmaking, midfielders. McGabe's only flaw is his height: 5'7"

Sean Archer - CDM (61-65, 85-91): The 16 year old from Scotland is an incredible playmaker who prefers to stay in the defensive half and analyze the game from there. He's one of the most exciting players in the U-17 but he will not be eligible to be registered with the senior squad until next season.

*Steven Ross - CDM (58-62, 80-86): Defensive minded midfielder from Scotland. Still only 15 years old.

*Todd Zebroski - CDM (57-61, 80-86): 15 year old playmaker from England. Definitely one to keep an eye on but can't be promoted until next season.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As if Wimbledon's season has already had a bad enough start, bad news continue spilling out from Kingsmeadow as they have just announced that Harry Pell, one of the most consistent players since League 2 and a member of last season's Team of The Year, has suffered a broken toe during training and will be out for approximately 3 months. With the transfer window being closed, Wimbledon have decided to promote 17 year old Ruaidhri Mannus from the youth academy. The young player from Northern Ireland already faces the biggest challenge of his career as he must replace one of Wimbledon's most important players. Scott Moore has been fantastic with the B team and is also a candidate to replace Pell with the first team.

Wimbledon's group in the Champions League has been announced, and the Dons definitely have an uphill battle to get through to the next round. Wimbledon are in Group E along with Borussia Dortmund, Olympique Lyon, and Real Madrid. Group E has been labeled as "The Group of Death" in this year's Champions League.

International football returns to Scotland as they now shoot for qualifying to the upcoming Euro Cup. The Scots' group consists of France, Belgium, Sweden, Portugal, and Finland with only the top two qualifying to the tournament. The first two matches for Scotland will be against Sweden, and then a rematch from the World Cup Semi Final against Belgium.

That's all I have for you today. This has been Chico Bass reporting live from Kingsmeadow for HYFCMG.

** Well I'm not gonna lie folks, I forgot to write down the league table before advancing to the next month. I'm sorry!! One thing I remember for sure is we're at the bottom of the table. Pretty close to relegation zone actually. Only two matches have been played though so I'm still hoping we can get back on the horse. On another note, I think Harry Pell's incredible career with Wimbledon has sadly come to an end. Because he has surpassed his potential by a lot already, his stats decrease whenever the team doesn't have any matches in a month so I'm sure his stats will continue to decrease in these 3 months even though he's not even close to 30 yet. Really hoping my youth players can step up and keep our midfield together.

Thanks for Reading!

Freaking Real Madrid! They beat me in the Copa Europe as well! I'm not too concerned about where you are in the table since I know you will be in the top 4 (Hopefully challenging for the top spot) as this season goes along!

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

JANUARY

TRANSFERS IN: Cheick Tiote for £7 million from Newcastle
Hector Moreno for £8 million from Espanyol
Nathan Redmond in a swap deal with Aaron Lennon

TRANSFERS OUT: Aaron Lennon in a swap deal for Nathan Redmond
Younes Kaboul for £4.6 million to Borussia Dortmund
Etienne Capoue for £7.2 million to Swansea City
Danny Rose on loan for the remainder of the season to Southampton
Christian Ceballos on loan for the remainder of the season to Brighton

BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE

TOTTENHAM 1–0 CHELSEA
It was vital for Tottenham to get something from the game having not won in their last 3 and they started much brighter than they had done in their last match. But Courtois was proving a tough nut to crack and pulled off some heroics to keep Spurs at bay. But into the second half, he couldn’t deny a low driven shot by Christian Eriksen which found the bottom corner giving the hosts. Chelsea went out on the attack but simply couldn’t breach the Tottenham back line, clearly missing the dependable Diego Costa who sat out through injury. A great win for Spurs, and their first in 4 games.


TOTTENHAM 5–2 BURNLEY
After a great win against Chelsea, Tottenham started really quickly and found themselves 2-0 up after just 8 minutes, both of which came from Eriksen. The Danish midfielder completed his hat trick in just the 17th minute, only for Burnley one back moments later through summer signing Matt Taylor. Just passed the half hour mark and amazingly it was 3-2, as Lukas Jutkiewicz scrambled home to give the visitors hope. But that hope soon evaporated as Eriksen grabbed his 4th of the match just after the break, killing off any thoughts of a memorable comeback. A calamitous error from Tom Heaton in the final minutes after a Michael Keane gifted the hosts with a 5th, one that the former Manchester United keeper will not want to see again.

FA CUP

TOTTENHAM 1–1 BRISTOL CITY
Spurs’ first game of this year’s competition saw them take on league 1 opposition, and Wetson’s boyhood local club Bristol City. They started brightly and youngster Harry Kane opened the scoring in the 18th minute, giving him his 1st of the season. But City refused to go and after some wasted chances by Spurs, they seized their moment in the 90th minute when Wade Elliot’s shot was saved by Vorm, only to fall straight to the former Arsenal man Jay Emmanuel Thomas, who handed City a second chance against Premier League in a replay at Ashton Gate.

BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE

TOTTENHAM 1–1 SUNDERLAND
Looking to bounce back from a disappointing cup result, Spurs fell behind in the 24th minute when their defence was caught napping, allowing Will Buckley to run through a drill into the far corner past Lloris. Sunderland’s stubbornness was frustrating Spurs, and it took a slice of luck to allow them back into the game, with their top scorer Adebayor on hand to rescue a point for an underperforming side.

FA CUP 3RD ROUND REPLAY

BRISTOL CITY 2–3 TOTTENHAM
Tottenham knew that their opponents would be full of confidence on their own turf and after holding Spurs at White Hart Lane, they had every right to be. But it was the visitors who started the better side, and Nabil Bentaleb put them ahead with his first of the season on the 20 minute mark. Tottenham held their lead till just after the break, when City were awarded a penalty, giving Katsouranis his chance to shine which he took confidently sending Friedel the wrong way. Before 70 minutes were up, City led with Emmanuel Thomas netting his 2nd against the same opposition in a week. Immediately from kick off though, some quick passing split the City defence and Chadli was on hand to settle some Spurs nerves. With the game destined for extra time, Flint’s back pass was miss controlled by Frank Fielding, and then ball went under his legs and agonisingly rolled over the line, gifting Spurs a cheap pass into the 4th round draw. An absolute classic FA cup game packed full of drama and excitement.


BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE

CRYSTAL PALACE 1–3 TOTTENHAM
A win for Tottenham would put them top of the league, and they were given an early advantage as Joe Ledley saw red for a last man challenge on Eriksen. To make matters worse, Townsend laid the free kick for Lamela to strike right into the top corner leaving Speroni with no chance. Shortly after half time, Spurs doubled their advantage when Adebayor capitalised on some scrappy play to squirm his effort underneath the helpless Palace keeper. Surprisingly Barry Bannan pulled one back for the hosts, but their hopes were diminished when James McCarthur saw red for a rash challenge on Eriksen. A wonderful stoppage time goal from Lamela gave Wetson an important win, putting Spurs at the summit.

FA CUP

TOTTENHAM 4–1 MIDDLESBOROUGH
A horrific start for Spurs saw Stambouli sent off and Vossen score in the first 10 minutes, but the team was somehow transformed afterwards. Roberto Soldado scored an incredible 4 goals, 2 of which were penalties to ensure a safe passage through to the 5th round after an appalling start to the game.

Standings at the end of January

After 22 games

1) Tottenham 47 points
2) Manchester United 45 points
3) Liverpool 45 points
4) Everton 45 points
5) Chelsea 43 points
6) Manchester City 43 points

Monthly review: Another unbeaten month in the league and a fantastic win over Chelsea gave us great confidence to go and strive for greater things throughout the month. Christian Eriksen has had a sudden rise in form and is starting to add more goals to his solid all round play. The ties against Bristol City turned out to be a lot more taxing than they should have been but we’re through so that’s all that matters.

Transfer review: I am quite pleased with the deals in the winter window. I had the goals of letting Lennon and Capoue go and replacing them. That was accomplished with Premier League experience in the shape of Tiote, and also some youth and excitement in Redmond. Kaboul forced a move away and with Vertonghen out injured for my hand was forced into a move. Hector Moreno was a player Spurs chased in real life, and one that fitted the bill for what I was after. Danny Rose went out on loan as he wasn’t getting the game time he deserved, and Assou-Ekotto (a player I wanted to leave) is joining Sunderland in the summer. Subsequently my pursuit of a first team left back will have to wait until the summer. Roberto Soldado was on the verge of joining Udinese, but they couldn’t match the £14 million valuation set on him by the club so he has stayed. As a result, the move to bring Mattia Destro didn't go through either. My initial holding midfield target of Morgan Schneiderling was prized away from Chelsea before Capoue, and i wasn't prepared to take the risk of having too many players in 1 position
