Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?
November 2014 - Season 1
FIFA 15 (PS4)
CD Leganes 0 - 2 CA Osasuna (B-Team)
OSA: Garcia 32' Ansarifard 88'
First match of the month saw young Jose Garcia score his 2nd goal of the season, as he headed a cross from Marcos Alonso into the net. The goal surprised us actually, given Garcia's low stature of 5'7". The 17 year old anticipated a mistake from his marker by waiting patiently behind him and head the ball after his marker mistimed his jump and jumped too early. The rest of the match would be very tight as Leganes worked hard to equalize the match. It wasn't until the 88th minute that the Iranian striker Ansarifard scored Osasuna's 2nd to give them a comfortable win. Ansarifard had had a fairly poor match, but the 21 year old found himself with golden opportunities in the final minutes when Leganes pushed forward with everything they had attempting to get the equalizer. Ansarifard found himself with two one on one situations after his 88 minute goal but one shot went wide, and the other went straight towards the oncoming keeper. The team still obtained the win though, so he didn't get too much heat for missing those chances. This result puts Osasuna in 2nd place behind Las Palmas, their next rival.
CA Osasuna 5 - 0 UD Las Palmas
OSA: Torres PEN 5' 41' Oier 33' Sisi 52' Guillermo 74'
First vs second, but it felt more like first vs last. This match was expected to be extremely tight since only 1 point separated 1st place UD Las Palmas, one of the most consistent teams this season, and the up and coming 2nd place team CA Osasuna. The Palmas players never realized how important this match was, and the scoreline showed it. Barely in the 5th minute of the match Osasuna's Oier was taken down by a slide tackle as he calmly dribbled the ball down the right edge of the box. The contact was clearly inside the box, and the referee didn't hesitate to call the penalty, which Roberto Torres scored without much trouble. The Palmas goalkeeper dove the right way, but his jump had too much power on it and he overshot it as the ball went in over his legs. Las Palmas hustled to get back into the match, but they found it extremely difficult to steal the ball from the Osasuna midfielders who had the ball in constant motion. In the 33rd minute Oier calmly brought down a lob pass inside the box and powered it into the far corner of the net to bring the Palmas morale down. Torres wasn't done yet though, and in the 41st minute the midfielder headed the ball into the net to make it 3-0. The match would go into halftime with several long faces among the league leaders. In the second half Las Palmas began pushing forward, which unfortunately backfired on them as Sisi found space down the right wing to cut into the box and take a left footed shot into the net! 4-0 and now Las Palmas were truly hopeless. The league top scorer Guillermo wouldn't go home without his own slice of the cake though, and managed to score the 5th goal for Osasuna in the 74th minute with a surprising shot from outside the box. Liga Adelante have new league leaders!
Sporting Gijon 0 - 2 CA Osasuna
Sisi 44' Torres PEN 79'
The league leaders showed off their new throne by defeating Gijon with a comfortable margin, showing both an effective attack and a solid defense. Sisi, short for Sisinio, started the scoring by getting behind his marker to receive a pass from Guillermo leaving him through on goal. The 30 year old showed his experience and sent the ball past the rushing goalkeeper. Osasuna received another penalty in their favor, this time for a foul against Onwu. The striker had jumped up to combat an aerial ball with his marker when a second Gijon defender sprinted towards him and tried to dive for the ball, but instead took him down with his body weight simulating an American football tackle. Roberto Torres, who hasn't missed a penalty at all this season, stepped up to take the shot as confident as ever. He sent the ball to the right side, but the keeper reached it! The goalkeeper wasn't able to get his hand on it the right way and his save sent the ball high into the air. The ball was dropping towards the net, but he wasn't able to get up in time and Torres headed the ball into the net beating his marker. We still haven't received confirmation if the referee has called this goal as a penalty goal or just a regular goal.
CA Osasuna 2 - 1 SD Ponferradina
SDP: Andriatsima 61'
OSA: Onwu 81' Guillermo PEN 90'
The next match on the schedule consisted of Ponferradina, a club that began the season in great form but slowly began to decline, and the league leaders Osasuna. The match was extremely tight with Ponferradina the better side on the field, but Osasuna's defense were able to hold them. However in the 61st minute, a foul was called against Osasuna just outside of the right outside corner of the box. The Ponferradina player had no angle to shoot, so he crossed the ball from the free kick as expected. Osasuna goalkeeper Asier Riesgo called it his and came out to intercept the cross, but he changed his mind halfway, leaving him completely out of position and caused great confusion among the Osasuna defenders. As a result, Ponferradina's top scorer Andriatsima easily headed the ball into the net, making him 3rd in the race for the league Golden Boot with only two goals behind Guillermo. A huge disappointment for Osasuna who had been defending really well and Riesgo was playing a great game before making that huge mistake. In the final minutes of the match, Chavez went all out attack and substituted in the striker Manuel Onwu to play at LW for a more attacking approach. The decision was a good one, as Onwu dribbled into the box in the 81st minute, faked a shot and cut in to his right, then powered a shot past the goalkeeper into the far post and equalized the match! Osasuna weren't going down without a fight and they continued to push forward, then in injury time the referee made a very risky call and gave Osasuna a penalty after Guillermo received a slide tackle inside the box. Guillermo was getting ready to shoot when his marker tackled him. The defender did touch the ball but it is difficult to see if he touched the ball before or after making contact with Guillermo. The contact was there though, and the referee decided it was a penalty. After seeing one of his rivals in the race for the golden boot score, Guillermo requested he take the shot, and Chavez obliged possibly because Torres wasn't on the field anymore. Guillermo did not disappoint and put the ball in the bottom left corner while the keeper stayed in the middle! The last minute goal gave Osasuna the win and, whether it was deserved or not, they were still the league leaders!
Sabadell FC 1 - 0 CA Osasuna
SAB: Hidalgo 37'
OSA: Cadamuro RED CARD 31'
Sabadell put an end to Osasuna's great run of form by defeating them with the minimal margin. Osasuna started the match playing better than Sabadell, but things went south when the loanee Cadamuro was sent off in the 31st minute. Cadamuro had been beaten on a one on one in the left flank and hustled to catch up to his winger, watching the player dribble past Lotiés who had came out to cover for Cadamuro. When Cadamuro finally caught up to the winger, who was not cutting in, he went in for a late slide tackle outside the box that was clearly a foul. The referee of the match surprised us all when he took out the direct red, but Cadamuro's vengeful tackle justified it. Sabadell took advantage of their extra player and quickly put the scoreline in their favor only 6 minutes after the sending off. Osasuna tried to get back into the match despite having a man less on the field, and Chavez took the risk of pushing forward to get the equalizer. In the 79th minute of the match things worsened for Osasuna, as the referee called a penalty against them after the RB Flaño pulled the shirt of a Sabadell player inside the box and the player went down. We thought the player dove as soon as he felt the pull, but the referee called it regardless. Sabadell's captain stepped up to take a very important penalty, the penalty would end the match for Osasuna who had been trying hard to equalize. All eyes on Osasuna's Riesgo. If he saves it, Osasuna still have a chance to come back. If he doesn't, the winning steak is over. The penalty was shot to his right towards the corner of the goal, but he reacted just in time and reached it! Osasuna still had hope to come back thanks to Riesgo! It was all out attack from then on but unfortunately they were unable to equalize, and Sabadell took the win. Osasuna still received applauds though as they gave the fans an exciting match and fought 'til the end.

CA Osasuna Player of The Month
GK - Asier Riesgo (Spain) (72 OVR 31yrs) (+1)
The Osasuna goalkeeper Riesgo has taken this month's PoTM award after an impressive November where he was vital for Osasuna's defense. The former Real Sociedad youth graduate was tasked with covering for Osasuna's shaky defense and he was solid while making up for their mistakes. Like everyone else, Riesgo makes mistakes and against CD Ponferradina his mistake caused a goal against, but he's also made spectacular saves including a penalty save against Sabadell. Thanks to Riesgo's incredible work in goal, the Osasuna defenders have had enough time to improve and the supporters can live comfortably knowing that even if the ball gets past the defenders, Riesgo will be there doing everything he can to stop the ball from going inside the net.
Press Conference
Mr. Chavez, we have received reports that international teams are keeping a close eye on you especially now that your club is in outstanding form and at the top of table. We've actually been told that Ivory Coast, Turkey, and even Russia have gone the extra step and sent you an official offer. What are your plans for your personal future? Would you be willing to leave Osasuna in order to manage an international team?
"Managing an international team is of course a big achievement for any manager, but at the moment I am completely dedicated to Osasuna so I do not plan on leaving soon. If I were to sign with an international team, I would first make it clear that I will only sign with them if they allow me to continue managing Osasuna simultaneously. This was an issue with Turkey and Ivory Coast, as they want a full time manager and unfortunately that's not me."
What about Russia?
"The negotiations have not concluded as of yet, so it would be disrespectful of me to disclose anything at the moment. I apologize."
November Headlines
Extra Help For Osasuna?
Osasuna has had a great month rising on the league table and finally establishing themselves as a promotion candidate after a rocky start to the season, but... We can't ignore the fact that Osasuna were given three penalties in three consecutive matches, one of them being an injury time penalty that ultimately decided the match. Things like these bring up questions regarding the integrity of the referees and cause suspicion of corruption. Of course one could easily argue that the penalties were clearly legitimate, except for one, but questions will always be asked when it comes to penalties. These consecutive penalty calls could negatively impact Osasuna in a wide variety of ways. For example, if the integrity of the referees is being questioned, then what if perhaps a referee chooses not to call a clear penalty in favor of Osasuna in the upcoming matches in order to protect himself from these type of accusations?
Copa Del Rey
The Spanish Copa Del Rey resumes this upcoming December, and Osasuna have drawn Cordoba from La Liga. Chavez has mentioned in the past that he wants to go as far as he can in the cup, but facing a team in a higher division is always a challenge. Osasuna head into the draw as the underdogs and they will do so without the starting LB Cadamuro who is out for 10 days. These fixture will be the first match of the month, so Osasuna will have to recover from the defeat against Sabadell as soon as possible if they want to have a chance against Cordoba. As we go into the Round of 32, the competition begins to get more and more tight in the favor of La Liga teams specifically Barcelona and Real Madrid. How long will Osasuna be able to survive amongst them?
Conclusion
Russia has always been an international team that tempts me sign with, but I'm not sure it's the right team for this career since I won't have any Russian players at Osasuna. I'm sure Simppu and his communist ways would like to see Russia dominate :P, but I will have to leave it for another career mode in the future. Oh, and check out who else sent an offer as I was playing ahead :0 :0
That's it for this month. I've been playing ahead so the next update just needs to be typed up. Expect it soon!
Thanks for Reading!Comment

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?
With these new signings the Simppu empire will prosper just like it did at Hertha. Sad to see Chicharito get benched, but at least you're replacing him with a world class winger like Gareth Bale who has been linked to United I don't know how many times already. I'm surprised you didn't bring Ronaldo actually. I also liked the Alaba signing. I've never used him before but his ability to play almost everywhere on the field is amazing. Is he the guy that hasn't received a yellow card like in 3 years? If so, even better. Congratulations on winning the SuperCopa! The first of many trophies this season.
And of course, rest in peace Junior Malanda.Comment

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?
Çiftçi! What was that, 6 goals in 4 games? What a beast for you even more so when he's scoring the winner or the late equalizer. I can't believe the season is almost over already. It feels like you barely started it this week! You adapted to legendary in the Bundesliga 2 extremely well, despite the rocky start, and now look at you. 1st place and with a good advantage. The league title has to be yours and I'm really looking forward to seeing St. Pauli in the Bundesliga!Comment

How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?
December 2014 - Season 1
FIFA 15 (PS4)
Copa Del Rey - Round of 32 (1st Leg)
Cordoba CF 0 - 2 CA Osasuna
OSA: Torres 73' Onwu 86'
COR: Crespo RED CARD 14'
Osasuna's biggest challenge of the season so far finally came and it began just as expected, with Cordoba pushing high up the pitch and Osasuna defending for their lives. The Basques tried to get the ball forward and get some rest by holding possession with a slow build up play, but Cordoba were marking so tight that it was difficult for Osasuna to even get the ball past midfield. Because of Cadamuro's absence due to injury, Oier was moved back to LB and Camarasa took Oier's spot at RCM. Osasuna found a light in the 14th minute though, as Sisi controlled a pass at the midfield line with his back towards goal, and Cordoba's LB Crespo took him down with a slide tackle from behind just when the ball was reaching Sisi. The referee called the foul right away, but then took the extra step and also gave Crespo a direct red card. Even with one man down, Cordoba were still the most dangerous on the field and we couldn't even tell that Osasuna had an extra player as they held on for dear life. Riesgo showed his class again by making vital saves to keep his team in the match. It wasn't until the 73rd minute that Osasuna finally found their break through as Roberto Torres received a through ball into the box and took a first time shot that went past the goalkeeper. Finally, Osasuna had taken advantage of their extra man. Cordoba tried to push forward and equalize the match, but going all out attack is already risky enough not to mention they were a man down. The risk proved costly as Julian Luque, who had been substituted in during the second half, found space to run down the left flank and then crossed the ball into the box to find Manuel Onwu, also substituted in during the second half, who then sent a strong header past the goalkeeper to give his team the 2-0 lead, and a comfortable aggregate going into the 2nd leg. After the final whistle the Cordoba players complained to the referee as they felt he ultimately decided the match with the early red card.
CA Osasuna (B-Team) 0 - 0 FC Barcelona B
The Osasuna B team defended well but the attack wasn't able to put up their end of the bargain. The match was still entertaining though, especially as we saw the Barcelona B team playing long and fancy passes reflecting their parent club. We could definitely see some future stars on the field but the Osasuna players were able to hold them. Chavez dropped the 5-3-1-1 during the second half and instead switched to the 4-3-3 that is being used by the first team. The change didn't bring any immediate results and the Basques were still unable to get through the Catalan defense.
CA Osasuna 0 - 2 CD Mirandes
MIR: Pedro 7' Martinez PEN 90'
After a scoreless draw with Barcelona B, Osasuna get another bad result but this time at the hands of the team in 20th place, who defeated the league leaders by a decisive scoreline. Osasuna were victims of an early from which they couldn't recover from. Then in the final minutes of the match a penalty gets called against Osasuna after a pointless tackle by Cadamuro inside the box. Mirandes' Martinez sent the penalty shot straight down the middle while Osasuna's Riesgo dove to the left. The match ended 2-0 and Osasuna began to let their league leadership slip.
Copa Del Rey - Round of 32 (2nd Leg)
CA Osasuna 1(3) - 0(0) Cordoba CF
OSA: Guillermo 86'
This match was the complete opposite of the first leg, with Osasuna taking control of possession in front of their home fans. We expected Cordoba to make a comeback now that they will be playing 11 vs 11, especially since in the first leg they dominated the match before getting a red card, but Osasuna were much stronger at home and Cordoba never really looked like they were coming back. The match ended in the 86th minute when Guillermo gave Osasuna the 3-0 advantage on aggregate, ending any possibilities for Cordoba to get back into the game. Osasuna are through to the Copa Del Rey Round of 16!
Real Zaragoza 1 - 2 CA Osasuna (B-Team)
OSA: J. Garcia 2' Loe 45'
ZAR: Borja 33'
After getting only 1 point out of 6 in the league so far this month, Osasuna were able to end December with a win that keeps them in an automatic promotion spot on the table. Chavez didn't use the 5-3-1-1 formation with the B team anymore, and instead fielded a 4-1-3-2 with the CAM Jose Garcia moved up to left striker. We weren't sure how the move would work out for the young 17 year old who stands at 5'7", but he immediately proved he can handle it by scoring an early goal in barely the 2nd minute. Garcia received the ball at the edge of the box, and took a shot to the goalkeeper's far post and into the net. Real Zaragoza would equalize the match in the 33rd minute, but the Cameroon international Loe would put Osasuna back in the lead right before halftime. Loe is tasked with patrolling the area in front of the back line, but he is also very involved in the attacks. It may frustrate Chavez at times, given Loe's lack of speed to get back to his position, but Chavez can't complain this time as Loe powered a long shot into the back of the net to give his team the victory.

CA Osasuna Player of The Month
CM - Javad Nekounam (Iran) (74 OVR 34yrs)
The Iranian midfielder had a great month, effectively holding the midfield together allowing Roberto Torres to roam the pitch freely. Nekounam was a target for many European clubs after his performance at the 2006 World Cup with Iran, and he became the first Iranian player to join a Spanish club after signing with Osasuna. Nekounam would eventually leave Osasuna to return to Iran for a record fee, but then returned to Osasuna a few years later. Nekounam had a rough start to the season finding it difficult to adjust to Chavez's style of play, but this month he improved his form and helped intercept many attacking plays from the opponents.
Press Conference
Mr. Chavez, now that we are approaching the transfer window would you be able to share with us the players you have in mind to bring to Osasuna?
"Hi good morning. Unfortunately, no. I would prefer not to disclose anything yet due to my experience with the last transfer window here in Spain."
Could you elaborate, please?
"Well, Chico right?"
Yes.
"Before the last transfer window I mentioned that we would be going for Spanish players. Then, coincidentally, the value of all Spanish players increased when we approached them. For some clubs I understand that that's not a problem, but for us who are rebuilding at the moment we can't afford large prices especially when we know that the player isn't actually valued at that price. So this time, I'd rather not say too much about the players we intend to bring in."
You have drawn Getafe CF in the Copa del Rey Round of 16. How will you approach that match now that you have dropped down to 2nd place in the league?
"The same way we approached the match against Cordoba. We want to show that we have what it takes to compete in La Liga. Getafe will certainly be a difficult opponent, but I believe the match is winnable. The players are motivated and with that we are already on the right foot. We won't be losing focus on the league though. I'm positive we have the squad to compete in both tournaments."
Thank you Mr. Chavez.
December Headlines
Miguel De Las Cuevas' Form
The 28 year old CAM (72 OVR) has been disappointing so far this season, as he adjusts to playing as a LW. His role in the club is to cut into the box and take a shot, which he has done, but the Spanish midfielder has yet to find the net and has been unable to get his marker off him in more than a few matches. Going into the transfer window Cuevas must be worried that he may be replaced if he doesn't improve his form. The player has recently signed a new contract with the club and is one of the highest earners, so he needs to show why he earns that much if he wants to stay with Los Rojillos.
Javad Nekounam and Jordan Loties Transfer Listed
It is official, CA Osasuna have transfer listed the Iranian midfielder Nekounam (74 OVR 34yrs) and the French centre back Jordan Loties (71 OVR 30yrs). It is very surprising to see two definite starters from the club be transfer listed, but Chavez and his staff may be trying to free up some money, since Loties and Nekounam are two of the highest earning players at the club with wages of $25,000 and $35,000 respectively. The highest earning player at the club is the Algerian defender Llassine Cadamuro who earns $50,000 but he was brought in on loan from RCD Espanyol with no option to buy before Chavez was signed as manager. This transfer window already looks to be more productive for Osasuna than it was in the summer.
Conclusion
My current budget is only $490k after the cup prize money so I don't have much to work with in the transfer window. Not to mention I also have a 700k option to buy on Julian Luque that I still haven't decided if I will go through with, so I want to at least have that amount left in funds when the season ends. Going into the transfer window, I can already tell that it will be just as difficult to sign players as it was last time. I wasn't kidding when I mentioned that other teams are raising their prices. I think the most smooth transaction I've had was when I brought in Marcos Alonso but that was from an Italian club not a Spanish club. Even the pre-contract expiry players want more money! It makes sense though as I'm sure players would want at least a pay raise if they are going to a Liga Adelante club. It disappoints me that I haven't been able to get a youth academy up and running, but I just can't afford it. After the transfer window I might check out how much a 1 star scout charges so I could at least bring in that to get it started.
We are ready to get the transfer window started. I hope you enjoyed the update, any feedback is appreciated of course.

AAL - Hofmann 45'
MOTM: Çiftçi
Storm advanced the ball down the left wing before sending in a cross to the center of the box that Çiftçi was able to rise up and head home for the lead. Çiftçi then received the ball just past midfield on the counter and was able to use his pace to blow past the back line and hit a left footed shot to the far right post. Just before half Hofmann received the ball to the left of the goal and sent his defender the wrong way before firing a shot inside the near post to cut the lead in half.
FC Ingolstadt 0 - FC St. Pauli 0
MOTM: Tschauner
Ingolstadt won the possession battle but both sides were still able to put 5 shots on goal each. Both keepers were up to the challenge though and the match remained scoreless. St. Pauli played most of the game down a man after Wolf was red carded in his senior debut in the 38th minute for a tackle from behind.

Çiftçi led the charge in the game that secured the league title this month. Scoring two goals in the one match he took part in, he proved that he was capable of carrying the scoring load and went on the win the Golden Boot for the league as well.
Press Conference
Q: Congratulations on a wonderful season and taking home the league title. Many doubted you early, but you proved all wrong in the end. What can you say about your first season with St. Pauli?
A: Thank you. It's been an amazing season. There were times early on when I can understand why the supporters would be frustrated, but I knew it was just going to take time to implement my system. Winning the league title was beyond my wildest dreams though. It is a special moment, and I couldn't be prouder of this group of players.
Q: The Bundesliga is calling now, what kind of season do you think this squad is capable of in the top tier?
A: I think we are capable of being a mid-table team. The Bundesliga is full of great teams, and I know that it won't be easy by any means. We are the kind of team that will never be an easy win though. This group fights to the end, and we will carry that mentality over regardless of the competition.
Q: What changes are in store for your squad heading into next season? Will you be looking to bring players in to upgrade the squad?
A: We have a few agreements in place to bring players over for next year already. We have the two Mak twins out of Poland who will be joining, and the center back Dustin Bomheuer. Unfortunately we couldn't reach an agreement on a contract with Gedion Zelalem and he will be returning to Arsenal. We always keep our eyes open for ways to improve and my staff and I will be evaluating our strengths and weaknesses over the coming months to prepare for our next challenge.

The new man to the club proved his worth in his first season. One of the first ever signings brought in by Bumosix, he was the best all season. He was an important factor in the defense, providing that last bit of help for the back line. When he wasn't winning tackles, he was scoring off set pieces, knocking in some long screamers, or setting up his teammates.

I will tell you one thing about Chicharito. He's still in the team because Bayern didn't want him and there weren't any offers for him. I'm sorry. I thought about buying Ronaldo for a few seconds but then I remembered what happened with Hertha. Bale and Robben are great but they aren't as overpowered as Ronaldo. Alaba has been amazing. He has about 95 pace and all of his stats are green except for two that are yellow. And yes, he is the guy who hasn't gotten a yellow in three years according to my sources.
You have been doing very well with Osasuna and I'll be urprised if you don't finish at least in second. I'm enjoying your updates a lot.
You really should've taken the Russian offer. You know, take Russia before Russia takes you. I'm disappointed in you.Last edited by Simppu12; 01-17-2015, 06:09 AM.-Simppu12-

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?
also guys, as ive stated before I play home games on professional and away games on world class because ive normally used to play only on professional. The first game at home was a tie 2-2 or something, the next game away at FC St.Pauli was a 3-0 loss then i won at home 2-1. Then we started the season away and lost 5-0. then lost at home 2-1. then i tied away and won at home like 3-0. then i would lost 3-1 but i conceded a 90' minute goal so it was 2-1 most of the game with possession being at 50/50 then i went home and won 5-0 with like 60% possession in my favour then i would lose again away 3-1 but conceded a 90th minute goal again. my next game is at home and I think professional is to easy now so should i move up to world class for the rest of the season or just wait?Comment

FIFA 15 | PS3 | Season 1 | 2014-15
The Swans
April 2015
Match 30
Swansea 3-0 Hull 
Berahino 17'
Montero 27'
Gomis 44'
MotM: Bafétimbi Gomis
A game in which we dominated the first half knocking 3 goals past bottom side Hull City. Huddlestone had the first chance 4 minutes in with his long range shot going just over. Berahino scored on 17 minutes with a little dink over Cillessen after avoiding a sliding challenge with some nice footwork. Gomis provided the assist. Montero continued his good form with a goal 10 minutes later. Gomis again provided the assist linking with Berahino to create the chance for Montero. Gomis then got himself a goal to add to 2 assist when he tapped in the rebound from a saved Berahino shot. Cillessen made 2 good saves in a second half which saw a Britton chance go wide and Butland making his debut having very little to do making 4 comfortable saves. Bafétimbi Gomis picked up the Man of the Match award for his 2 assists and goal. Bartley and Amat were also solid in the CB positions.
Match 31
Aston Villa 1-4 Swansea
Dyer 11'
Sanchez 36'
Sigurdsson 39'
Ings 48'
Fulton 74'
MotM: Danny Ings
Guzan made a terrible clearance from a pass and the ball went straight to Ki who knocked it down to Ings. Ings played a great ball into Dyer and he took it past Hutton with his first touch and finished with his second. Agbonlahor missed a chance before Sanchez thundered in a header off the crossbar from 6 yards. Goal line technology confirmed it had indeed crosser Fabianski's line. In response Shelvey earned a free kick 5 yards to the right of the corner of the area. He delivered it himself close to the edge of the box to where Sigurdsson had run. He controlled it with a touch and curled the volley sweetly past Guzan. Hayes jumped up with his assistants to celebrate as it flew in. Hayes must have told the team not to sit back as only 3 minutes in Ings had scored his first goal for the club, adding to his assist. High pressure led to Dyer dispossessing Senderos and getting a shot away. Ings was alert and slotted in the rebound. Bony and Benteke exchanged shots before a terrible punch by Guzan allowed Bony to cross again finding the head of Ings. Guzan reacted well saving but so did young Fulton, who came off the bench, heading in his first Premier League goal. He was absolutely ecstatic running for the comer flag immediately. Another good 3 points for Hayes' men.
Match 32
Swansea 1-0 Everton 
Dyer 14'
MotM: Lukasz Fabianski
The battle for 5th spot is becoming a 3 way race with ourselves, Arsenal and Spurs. We needed to win this one to keep up the chase. Everton started brightly with a good chance from Mirallas. Dyer continued his scoring run when he put in a corner with 14 minutes gone. Britton swung in the corner won by Sigurdsson and a poor touch from Barry pushed it into the path of Dyer who put it past Howard who was motionless. Eto missed a host of chances throughout the match before being replaced by Lukaku. Fabianski was in top form too picking up Man of the Match and he along with the defense kept a clean sheet to get us 3 points against a strong Everton side. This along with draws for Arsenal (1-1 Burnley) and Spurs (1-1 Aston Villa) puts us in 5th with 6 games left to play.
Match 33
Leicester 1-1 Swansea
Berahino 34'
Vardy 55'
MotM: Jack Butland
Hayes fielded a weaker team with the Newcastle game in 2 days. Both sides had early chances before a beautiful ball by Tiendaili over the top to Berahino opened the scoring. Carroll got a Bruised Shoulder 5 minutes into the second half after colliding with Uloa. He was replaced by Sigurdsson. We struggled to break them down and Sigurdsson's free kick that went just over was the closest we came to scoring in the second half. Emnes got an Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury after a tackle with Morgan in the 90th minute. Gomis replaced him. It was a bad performance by the team.
Injury News
Marvin Emnes is out for 7 months with an Anterior Cruciate Ligament.
Tom Carroll is out for 9 days with a Bruised Shoulder.
Match 34
Newcastle 0-1 Swansea
Britton 19'
MotM: Lukasz Fabianski
Jamie's boys proved a tough test for us as we scraped a 1-0 win with a Leon Britton goal. Dyer showed some quick feet passing the ball around Santon and into the path of Britton who placed a one touch finish past Dutchman Tim Krul. Lukasz Fabianski picked up Man of the Match with 9 saves.
Player of the Month
Lukasz Fabianski
The Polish shot stopper kept 3 clean sheets and only let in 1 goal from 4 games this month earning Man of the Match on 2 occasions. The 30 year old is showing no signs of declining and competition from loanee Jack Butland has certainly helped him to perform at the highest level consistently.

Youth Academy
Elliot l'Anson - CDM/CB/LB - 55-67 Ovr - 69-85 Pot - 17
His stats lean more towards him playing in the CDM position in the future with good passing skills and attacking position. We are trying to persuade him to stay in the Academy for another month.
Joe Wilson - GK - 60-64 Ovr - 76-82 Pot - 17
The 6'5" 17 year old shares his first name with current England No. 1 Joe Hart and we believe he has the potential to over that title in years to come. We are also trying to talk Joe into staying in for another month.
Liam Dyer - RW - 64-68 Ovr - 80-86 Pot - 15
Liam has the potential to become very like Nathan Dyer in the future. He is extremely pacey and has a lot of room to grow as he is still on 15. A future star.
Lyle Halstead - CB - 50-56 Ovr - 68-76 Pot - 16
Lyle has settled at CB his preferred position but the 16 year old may not be good enough in the future for us and will probably be sold on. His age is also a problem as we would like him to spend another year in the Academy developing but he mightn't want to do this.
Matt Moore - RM - 57-61 Ovr - 70-74 Pot - 16
The Wide Midfielder has good pace, dribbling and short passing stats. He could possible play in Central Midfield if need be in the future.
Rhys Randall - CM - 53-59 Ovr - 72-80 Pot - 16
The 6'4" 16 year old has great marking and tackling stats. He is described as defensive minded but has good long range passing. He looks like he could be a strong, tough CDM with an eye for a pass.
Robbie Dempsey - CAM - 59-63 Ovr - 73-77 Pot - 16
Only recently turned 16 he is described as being technically gifted. He has all the right stats for a playmaker and looks like an ideal candidate to take over the set piece duties in the future.
Tom McKenzie - CAM - 53-63 Ovr - 69-81 Pot - 17
The 17 year old is described as a Winger and has the stats of winger but has decided to play at CAM.
Hayes Enters the International Elite
The FAI have confirmed that Patrick Hayes, current Swansea City manager, has been appointed manager of the Republic of Ireland national team with immediate effect. The Dubliner is a native Irishman who has been managing Welsh, BPL side Swansea City this season and is currently in the race for 5th spot and Europa League qualification. He will manage the national team along side his club duties. The FAI have set the following goals for Hayes to achieve with the team:
World Cup: Qualify
European Championships: Reach Round of 16
Hayes wasn't available to comment as he had to fly straight back to Wales in preparation for Swansea City's tie with Newcastle United.
Thanks for reading! Any feedback is appreciated!Comment

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?
TOON TO THE TOP
SEASON 2
PS4
Match 20
Newcastle 2-0 Spurs
Barkley 6
Delph 40
A great win in this game, both goals set up by the incredibly Kevin Kampl. Barkley opened the scoring, stroking in first time on the volley from Kampl's low cross. Delph then made it 2, Kampl pulling it back, a great first touch brought it past the defender and he smashed it into the top corner for his first league goal of the season. Bony came close to finding the net, curling inches wide and forcing an incredibly save from Lloris.
Match 21
Arsenal 0-2 Newcastle
Dzsudzsak 66
Dzsudzsak 90
The match didn't start well for us, down to 10 men after 20 minutes when Bony was sent off for a dangerous tackle on Ramsey. 2 footed, studs up, feet of the ground, it was an awful challenge. Oliveira then came on for Barkley and 10 minutes later he was off for Riviere with an injury to his knee. We managed to keep Arsenal at bay however and Dzsudzsak opened the scoring, tapping in at the far post from Kampl's cross. He then got his second and wrapped it up in stoppage time with an excellent goal. A brilliant triangle passing move between Kampl, Clyne and Riviere ended with Riviere flicking the ball over the top. Balasz chested it down under pressure, took one touch and smashed it past the keeper.

League Cup Semi Final Leg 1
Newcastle 2-1 Stoke
Barkley 31
Arnautovic 45
Clichy 59
Barkley opened the scoring in this game, flicking past the defender before driving hard and low into the bottom corner. Arnautovic equalised after beating Clyne before smashing into the top corner. The match was won when Clichy beat his man, moved into the box and smashed into the top corner at the near post.
Match 22
Newcastle 3-0 Wigan
Medel 29
Medel 36
Bony 59
Medel opened the scoring in this game with a low, driving effort into the bottom corner. His second came in a similar fashion, however it struck the inside of the post on it's way in. Wigan rarely threatened and we put the game beyond reach when Bony headed in a good cross. Unfortunately, Medel tore his groin late on and will be out for 6 weeks.
Match 23
Hull 0-2 Newcastle
Bony 25
Clichy 65
Against a Hull side who had just lost their top scorer to Hertha BSC, they were unable to threaten and Bony gave us the lead, using his power to hold up the ball before smashing beyond Adler. Clichy made it 2, once again sprinting down the left before smashing in at the near post.
Star midfielder joins on a free
Valencia and Argentina international Enzo Perez has joined Newcastle United on a pre-contract agreement. The 29 year old midfielder was sold to Valencia last season for €25 million on a 2 year deal. Newcastle attempted to sign the player with immediate effect on a cut price deal due to Medel's injury. Valencia originally suggested £4.5 million would be enough but went back on their word, leading the Northern club to approach the player directly.
League Cup Semi Final Leg 2
Stoke 0-1 Newcastle (1-3 agg)
Barkley 64
Barkley got the only goal of the game to get us in our first cup final since I became manager. A simple but classy finish, the ball whipped in hard and low, a beautiful touch to bring it to a dead stop, a touch with the outside of his boot to beat the defender and then a thunderous striker into the top corner.
FA Cup Round 4
Newcastle 2-0 Yeovil
Bony 31
Dzsudzsak 46
Newcastle bag Number 1 target
Newcastle United managed to pick up West Ham United and New Zealand international Winston Reid for £5.5 million in the closing hours of deadline day. After days of negotiations, the clubs finally agreed on a fee and the defender was eager to sign his contract for £45,000 a week.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?
@SHoward: Good to see you grab a couple wins. Looks to still be a struggle in the league though but I can tell you are picking it up. Keep it going man, cant wait to see how it turns out!
@Simppu: Wow, your team is amazing. It might just be the best collection of talent we've seen here. Really good results too, aside from that odd QPR game. This season should be interesting on how you will make use of all of these players and keep them happy.
@Cruzerr: That was a heck of a season, it was just a shame about the injuries throughout. It really is a unfortunate what happened and that you won't be able to carry this on. I voted a manager career btw, but I really enjoyed this player career so I'd be happy with any option!
@Chico: Good to see you up there in 2nd right now, but even better to see you advancing in the Copa Del Rey. I know that's where lower sides get all their money from in this game so I hope you can make a good run!
Side Note: I was staring at that Barcelona B game for a while trying to figure out how you held Barca to a 0-0 draw before I realized there was the "B" at the end haha.
@Keano: Good month and I'm really happy to see you getting into that top 5 spot! I hope you can earn either that spot when it's all said and done. Unfortunate that you couldn't get the full 3 points out of Leicester but I think you will be able to hold out.
@Jamie: You are playing really dominant right now winning every match in this update. Makes sense to see you on top of the table now creating some separation as well. Perez and Reid are great signings as well and should be able to fit really nicely into your squad. Keep it up man!Comment

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?
Glory Glory Man United
September 2017
Manchester United 1 - 0 Southampton
Benzema 39' pen
"We weren't but but we weren't good, either. I don't like how the only goal was a penalty but a win is a win. Southampton defended well and especially Nathaniel Clyne was very good. The most important thing is that we got the three points."
Manchester United 4 - 0 Ajax
Bale 18', 24', 81', Benzema 30'
"What a game! We dominated the whole game and created a lot of chances in front of our home fans. Gareth (Bale) was incredible and I'm glad that he has found his place in the team so quickly. Arjen (Robben) did well, too but he wasted too many chances."
West Ham 0 - 3 Manchester United
Robben 63', 70', Cook (youth player) 90'

Round of 32
Coventry City 0 - 1 Manchester United
Lacazette 60'
Simulated.
Everton FC 2 - 2 Manchester United
Barkley 62', 67'
Vidal 74', Bale 86'
"Disappointment. The boys looked distracted since the first minute and they played badly. The defending was terrible in Everton's goals and we need to improve. Arturo (Vidal) and Gareth (Bale) did a good job to equalise the game but a draw is not a good result."
Bröndby 0 - 7 Manchester United
Bale 23', 40', 53', Benzema 36', Rooney 48', Alaba 79', Vidal 87'
"I'm out of words. Simply everything went our way in this match and I still can't believe we netted seven past their keeper. Gareth (Bale) was once again the best player on the pitch and he was a real danger in attack. Wazza's goal was a wonderful strike from outside the box and it's good to see him on the score sheet after nine games. Sadly Arjen (Robben) got injured in the third minute and he will be out for three months. Luckily we have three good players who can replace him."
Bulgaria 2 - 3 Greece
Milanov 7', Popov 86'
Karelis 45', Mitroglou 64', Christodoulopoulos 89'
"It's not nice to lose a game in the last two minutes of the game but our defending was very bad. After all, the result doesn't matter because the Czechs and the Dutch drew which means that we are through to the world cup (or at least the play-off round, not sure how it works in FIFA)!"
Turkey 2 - 2 Bulgaria
Töre 37', Tosun 82'
Aleksandrov 69', Popov 90'
"Everyone in Bulgaria hates Turkey and we wanted to beat them in this pointless game. Sadly that didn't happen but a draw against a good Turkish side with players like Arda Turan and Hakan Calhanoglu is a good result. I still have no idea how we didn't get a penalty when our man was rugby-tackled in the box. The referee has to be blind."
Player of the Month
Gareth Bale
The summer signing Gareth Bale was the only attacker of Manchester United who reached his top level this month. He netted an incredible amount of seven goals in five games and he caused trouble to every defence he played against.
Hot or Not
Hot
Gareth Bale
He's the player of the month. Enough said.
David Alaba
David Alaba is another recent signing who has been incredible for Manchester United. The Austrian full back has been dictating the left side of the pitch. He has been everywhere on the flank without getting tired and he even got a goal in the Champions League.
Karim Benzema
Benzema didn't really have a great month but at least he managed to score a couple important goals. Sadly for the fans the Frenchman hasn't reach his form of last season yet.
Not
Arjen Robben
The first player of the list, and the third summer arrival, is the first 'Not' of the month. Arjen Robben scored a few goals in the month but he also missed many, many, many chances. He needs to improve and be more clinical.
Mats Hummels
The German centre back had a poor month at the back. He wasn't solid and he left his man unmarked often, for example twice against Everton. Hummels wasn't rock solid last season, as well.
