Making Them Dream
Season 2
FIFA 15

Match 7

Stoke 1-2 Liverpool

International Friendlies

England 3-0 Norway
Simmed.

England 1-0 Germany
Rooney 31
The only goal of this match between 2 fierce rivals came when Sterling beat his man and squared it to Rooney who fired into the roof of the net, just beyond the reach of Neuer.

Match 8

Liverpool 3-1 Spurs
?
?
Eriksen 90
Fazio 90 (OG)
I don't remember anything about the first 2 goals, however I do remember that Eriksen chipped Hart to pull one back but a low ball in was turned into his own net by Fazio to make it 3.

Champions League Match 3

Liverpool 1-2 Sevilla
Banega 29
Assiadi 83
Bacca 88 (PEN)
Playing a reserve side, Banega opened the scoring, blasting in after a low ball in. Assaidi equalised after beating 2 men down the wing and curling the ball under the keeper. However, Cahill bundled Banega down and Bacca converted the penalty to win the match for Sevilla.

Match 9

Sunderland 0-4 Liverpool
Sturridge 2
Modric 27
Balotelli 62
Balotelli 83
Sturridge opened the scoring in this, curling in just beyond the reach of the goalkeeper. Modric made it 2 from a corner, he was left in open space and headed it into the bottom corner. Balotelli made it 3, his looping header going over the keeper and he got his second to make it 4, curling in with his left foot, low into the bottom corner.

Match 10

Liverpool 4-1 Chelsea
Sturridge 44
Lallana 60
Balotelli 73
Ramires 75
Sterling 78
A result no-one expected, an absolute masterclass in attacking football. Cech played tremendously, making 10 saves but Sturridge opened the scoring, beating the defender to curl in. Lallana then made it 2 with a stunning effort from nothing. There were many defenders and we couldn't find a way through, so Lallana let fly and found the top corner. Balotelli headed in from a corner but Ramires pulled one back. However, Sterling also headed in to make it 4.

Youth Academy

Adam Duke
This 15 year old from England impresses me. With a potential of between 74 and 94, he could be a stunning player, technically gifted, his position looks like it will be behind the strikers.

Alfonso Nunho
16 years old from Brazil, a potential between 81 and 94, he could be special. A centre midfielder, he could be one of the best.

Eduard Rios*
Another 16 year old from Brazil who plays centre midfield. He has the potential of between 85-91, but he has another thing going for him, he is already between 67 and 71 overall.

Enes Overmeire
A 16 year old Belgian who appears quite versatile. Plays in centre midfield, right midfield or right wing. A potential of anywhere between 68 and 88, he is a bit of a wild card.

James Sarcevic*
17 years old from England, an attacking right midfielder with potential of between 85 and 91. He also is between 68-72 at this moment in time.

Julien Batshuayi
A 17 year old attacking midfielder from Belgium, his potential is between 74 and 88, however he is only 47-55 overall at the minute.

Scott Lee
This 15 year old Englishman is a technically gifted attacking midfielder. With potential between 82 and 88, he could be special.

The Rising Swans


October 2014


Swansea City 1 - 0 Newcastle United
Shelvey 69'


Stoke City 0 - 1 Swansea City
Bony 87'


Swansea City 2 - 1 Leicester City
Routledge 8', Shelvey 49'
Powell 19'


Capital One Cup Round of 16
Manchester United (2) 1 - 1 (3) Swansea City, After Penalties
Van Persie 39'
Bony 74'

Swansea City continued their successful cup run against the other giant from Manchester. This game was really even and at the end it was decided by a penalty shootout. Van Gaal's Man Utd were hungry for revenge after losing in the opening match of the season the the Welsh side and they got a good start when Robin Van Persie scored in the 39th minute. The ball was passed to the Dutch striker on the edge of the box and he curled a high ball in the middle of the goal. Lukasz Fabianski will be blamed for the goal because the keeper didn't even move and the shot could have been saved. It took the Welsh side 35 minutes to equalise when Wilfried Bony got the ball on the edge of the box. The Ivorian turned past the defender and shot the ball in the goal past Lindegaard to level the game. Nothing happened in extra time and it was time for penalties. ManU wasted their first kick and their last one was saved by Fabianski to continue the Swans' cup journey.


League Table


1. Swansea City AFC, 27 pts
2. Chelsea FC, 19 pts
3. Newcastle United, 17 pts
4. Arsenal FC, 17 pts
5. Manchester United, 13 pts
6. Everton FC, 13 pts

18. Southampton, 6 pts
19. West Ham United, 5 pts
20. Leicester City, 3 pts


Press Conference


You are still first and the point difference between you and second-placed Chelsea is now eight points. Do you think you can keep it up?

Oh my God. Stop asking the same questions over and over and over and over and over again! I don't think we will win the league but it's fantastic to be in first by a big margin so early and I think we will challenge for Champions League spots. Now stop asking that same question!


Alright, relax. You made it in the Capital One Cup quarter finals after beating Manchester United. Do you think you can win the cup again?

Yes, I think so. We have beaten every top team we have played against and we have been playing really well. If we continue like this we will be strong candidates for the cup. There are still top teams in the competition but I think we can beat them.


You have tough games ahead as you face Everton, Arsenal and Manchester City. What are your expectations from those three games?

Realistically speaking, three points would be nice but I think we can get six. It all depends on how we play and how much space we give to our opponents. All of those teams have really dangerous attacks and they will punish us if we play bad. We need to defend well and focus on our own game to win.


I'm going up on Legendary starting from the next update. The first game didn't go so well. Also, sorry for this being so short.


Thank you for reading this post! I hope you have enjoyed it! Any feedback and suggestions will be appreciated!

Thanks for all the advice and feedback I got from the post I'm really enjoying this career and its makes it even more interesting knowning that other people are as well. Oh, I don't know if its just a glitch but every Youth player that comes up from my Japan scout has the same first name (Akahito). Its not like its a problem but it's just weird to see:L

Again I'm still trying to find time to catch up on all the pages so I'll start getting more involved with all your career modes once I actually catch up.

Great results! Kind of bummed you got Luton's revenge on Wimbledon though. I thought Akinfenwa would do some damage but looks like you contained him! Still not as bad as your big win on Tex's Exeter though lol it's cool seeing Morecambe, Wimbledon, and Dagenham close on the league table. Then you have Exeter dead last. Sorry Tex haha

September



Capital One Cup

MK Dons 1 - Exeter City 3

MKD - Grigg 31'

EXE - Wilson 11' (Pen), 29', Nicholls 23'



MK Dons were hit early when Green, their keeper, was sent off for a slide through Nicholls well after he had gotten rid of the ball. James Wilson converted the penalty after they MK Dons used a sub to bring a new keeper on. Nicholls then slid to tap in a deflected James Wilson shot. Exeter then took advantage of their number advantage as James Wilson got past the defense on a counter attack and finished far post from the left side of the goal. Grigg was able to get one back for MK Dons, but couldn't get anything else going with the man down disadvantage.



Stevenage 1 - Exeter City 1

STE - Lee 11'

EXE - Oakley 64'



Lee opened the scoring for Stevenage as a ball was played down the middle finding Baldwin just a step out of position to get in the way.

Exeter City 6 - Cheltenham Town 1

EXE - Grimes 8', Reid 19', Wilson 69', 80', Richards 85' (OG), Sercombe 90'

After a peanlty was awarded, Marquis cut the lead in half with his effort from the penalty spot. Wilson then began to put the game away as he scored the next two goals. A botched clearance resulted in an own goal against Cheltenham, and Sercombe headed home the final goal with the clock winding down in the 90th minute to complete the one sided affair.



York City 2 - Exeter City 1

YOR - Meikle 10', Montrose 63'

EXE - Cummins 17'



A great individual effort from Meikle freed himself up to score the opener after he put the ball into the uper 90. Exeter equalized on Cummins' goal after he made a great turn and fired into the net. The game winner was scored by York when Baldwin over-pursued the incoming pass leaving Montrose free to go in on goal and be the keeper 1 on 1.



Exeter City 3 - Mansfield Town 1

EXE - Woodman 5', Williams 16', Wilson 63'

MAN - Bell 27'



Exeter struck first as the ball was played to Woodman just outside of the box. He took one touch to get a better shot before firing it into the net. Williams then showed his skill as he struck a free kick up and over the wall and into the goal. Mansfield pulled one back with a great display in passing leading to a first time shot. Wilson then put the game away as Williams played a ball through the defense for Wilson to chase down and finese past the keeper.



Capital One Cup

Sunderland 1 - Exeter City 2

SUN - Graham 40'

EXE - Williams 8', Reid 85'



Exeter shocked Sunderland when they found the early lead after Williams snaked his way through the defense to finish to the far right post. They quickly regained their composure and equalized it right before the half as Graham headed home a cross easily rising above the defender marking him. With the game winding down Exeter took the ball away in their own half and moved the ball quickly forward. As the defense was pulled to the left side of the pitch the ball was played to Reid racing down the right side and he took it all the way into the box and calmly beat the keeper on the near post for the win.



Northampton 2 - Exeter City 3

EXE - 8' Reid, 10' Keohane 10', Cummins 55'

NHT - Richards 43', O'Toole 45'

Northampton found the answer with two quick goals before half. The first coming off a great turn and shoot by Richards, and the second by O'Toole hitting the crossbar but still bouncing into the goal. In the second half Cummins headed home a cross to score the deciding goal in the match.

Two Key Players Down With Ankle Injuries



Two ankle injuries this month were suffered by two key players. Ryan Willima suffered an ankle sprain that will keep him sidlined for 3 weeks after turning it in the Sunderland match. Jamie Reid suffered the more serious injury in the Northampton match. He went down early in the match with a broken ankle and will miss the next 3 months while he recovers. Reid's injury leaves Bumosix short on wingers, and may have to adjust accordingly until he can get his wide-man back.



Exeter City Player of the Month



Jamie Reid





Jamie Reid takes home the club's player of the month award this month as he showed great skill both in scoring and setting up others this month. His winner against Sunderland was his shining moment this month.



Press Conference



Hello again everyone. A little bit more tame of a month we just had, but I am definitely feeling settled into my role here at Exeter now. I would like to open the floor to questions.

Spoiler

Q: You opened your second month in charge with a win against MK Dons in the Capital One Cup. You followed that up later in the month beating the Premier League side Sunderland to advance to the round of 16. How have you achieved this level of success so far in the competition?



A: The first match was one that I just couldn't lose. I full stand behind Wimbledon manager ChicoBass when he says that MK Dons represent all that is wrong with football. I am glad we were able to knock them out of the competition. The win against Sunderland was special for our club. To play a club of that size and quality, we had to put together a great effort. They put the pressure on us the entire match, as evident by the large differential in shot attempts in their favor, but we held strong. We are hopeful that we can continue to surprise teams with our efforts out there.



Q: After leading the table for the first month, you have fallen behind Oxford United into second. Still, you have to be proud of the efforts this month seeing as you only dropped points in two matches as you suffered a draw and a loss. How do you think this month went?



A: With the cup competitions kicking in more this month, it made it harder to keep everyone fresh for each game. Dropping some points will happen when you are under those circumstances. I am happy with our current form though and I have no worries about dropping behind Oxford United. I have all the confidence in the world that we will then soon enough. This Exeter squad is at a level that should settle for nothing less than a league title, and I intend to deliver just that.



Q: The injuries have begun to strike as you have lost both Ryan Williams and Jamie Reid to ankle injuries. How does this effect your plans and your lineups for the foreseeable future?



A: Ryan Williams suffered an ankle sprain and will only be forced to miss a couple weeks of action. We have the depth in the midfield to manage while he recovers so he has no pressure to try to come back before he is ready. We will certainly miss his creativity sitting behind the forwards though. Jamie Reid going down is a bigger concern due to our lack of depth in his position. The physio is telling us that it will be at least 3 months before he is back. We are hoping that he has a speedy recovery and that there will be no set backs in his progress. We will keep you all updated as we know more.

Thanks again everyone, that will be all for today. We look forward to getting back to the top of the table as soon as possible. I look forward to speaking you you all again.

YES! Great start to the month with the win over MK! I remember on '14 everyone had such a hard time against them. I still remember my penalty shootout in the cup against them first time I ever faced them. Man that feeling. Anyway, great results all around. Seeing Exeter in last place of Fish's career just shows the outstanding job you're doing with them an what a win against Cheltenham! Pretty surprised not to see Gornell on the score sheet actually.

[_ChicoBass]

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Might join you in League 2 maybe.

Do it! You know the career is gonna take you at least 4 seasons to get to the BPL, and that's where it gets the most rewarding seeing how far you've taken the club. As Tex said you have to find a club you can identify yourself with in order to stay on it because trust me, especially with the crowded schedules, it's gonna take a while to finish the seasons. Looking forward to seeing what you decide!
