Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Valencia C.F. makes the surprising move of hiring untested Sean Smith as Manager of Valencia C.F. This move for the young American comes a shock to most pundits on the continent. Valencia's board puts their trust in Smith and gives him the simplest goals:

League: Qualify for Champions Cup
Domestic Cup: Win the cup

Simple right?

BTW, can not transfer players until January.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Texasbum: Man you're doing so well this season! Advancing in the Europa and you're in an amazing spot on the league table. I see Villarreal is also giving you a tough time, welcome to the club! I know how sucky it feels to lose a 3-0 lead. A draw with a taste of defeat. What's even worse is that they scored two goals in injury time wtf! Looking forward to seeing what's next for you in Europe, and of course I'm following Leichlester's (spelling?) progress closely. I have a similar player in my academy that I am also trying to hold until May. I hope we both make it!

Keano: Congratulations on winning the treble! I'm glad you were able to take the Europa title home. Now you won't have any regrets as you go on to win the Champions! The league table finished really tight but you rightfully won the title. 92 goals?! You were the best attacking team in the lead man! The defense not so much, seeing as you were the team that received the most goals in the top 8, but those 92 goals catapulted your goal difference to allow you to win the league. Looking forward to seeing your Champions League run next season.

Cruzzer: Man letting go of Rosicky and Gibbs must've been tough. I wouldn't mind parting ways with Rosicky given the talent Arsenal already has in midfield, but Gibbs? Man I don't know. But, if he wanted to leave then Arsenal wasn't the club for him. At least you didn't sell him to one of your direct rivals. I'm curious to see how Sandro works out. I've never used him before.

Indiblue: The results may not have been the best, but it sounds like the team is playing well so it's not as bad as the scoreline suggests. Glad to see Mackay-Steven scored a goal this month. How have you been using him? You mentioned the 4-2-3-1 worked well but you don't have the personnel for it, well how about a 4-4-1-1 Attack? I would personally customize it to have two CDMs instead of two CMs, so you could have a similar lineup to the 4-2-3-1 except with two strikers, one behind the other. I always have a tough time with two striker formations unless it's a five or three at the back, which I would recommend as well but it looks like it didn't work out :/ aside from the 3-1-4-2, I've always favored the 3-5-1-1 as well. It would be similar to the 3-4-1-2 you tried as in you would still have two CDMs, but the CAM would be turned into a CM and the strikers would be stacked instead of next to each other. That's actually the formation I finished Scotland with, and used Mackay-Steven at CF. If you're willing to try out a three at the back formation again, I recommend you give that one a look.

Rabbit: 1st place with a six point lead!! Attaboy! You're on the right track to the treble, but Courtois' injury is pretty worrying. I'm looking forward to seeing if Alberto can step up, but at the same time worried that he'll risk your amazing winning streak. The Sevilla recap shows how important Courtois is to your squad. The defeat against Arsenal is understandable. They are one of the hardest teams to play against on 14. I haven't faced them on 15 yet but I imagine they'll be even tougher. Guarrotxena is indeed glitched. I had him in my Leeds career on 13 and loved his unexpected overall increase before finding out he was glitched. I would love to bring him over to Osasuna regardless if he's still glitched or not but I doubt Bilbao will be willing to negotiate him since we're rivals. Villarreal's Aitor is also glitched. I actually had the chance to sign him in my first season with Osasuna since he was transfer listed and cheap, but I didn't want to make it too easy with a glitched player in goal. He's now a starter at Villarreal which makes it more entertaining to face the yellow submarine. Keep up the outstanding work man!

*I apologize to those who I was unable to comment on at the moment. I assure you, I am reading them. Except Moose because I'm not on wifi. Damn it I'm sorry again Moose :'(

Finally! I've been waiting for this career for a long while already. Valencia has a great squad with several players that have great potential. Looking forward to seeing what you do with Guardado when he comes back from loan. He left Valencia in poor form, with both club and country, but the 2014 World Cup brought him back to life, becoming captain of Mexico and a key player for PSV. I'm not expecting to see much of him though seeing the quality and potential Valencia has in midfield. Great start so far especially with that 5-0 destruction of Malaga. I had an extremely difficult time getting past Ochoa so it really surprised me when I saw your scoreline fantastic job!

**indiblue** · 02-14-2015, 02:47 AM

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

@Tex That's exactly my train of thought: the good start has saved us from getting caught in early speculation about relegation. You guys know I like to start my seasons big. There are no regrets losing to any of the teams I did lose to. We weren't good enough against Stoke and West Ham, and while we did plenty against City and Spurs, they had that extra gear to take the result into their own hands. As for Buchtmann, he popped up on my GTN report as a player I could possibly sign on a pre-contract. It's too bad I'm not looking for a CM of his profile, because he's got such amazing stats for a player of his wages that I would sign him in a heartbeat. Now as for your results, what a great month. Big wins against Stuttgart and Schalke, and you beat your rival to make the quarter-final of the German cup!

@Moose I would say West Ham has been the toughest game so far this season. Absolutely resolute in defence, nearly impossible to break down, and packed with such good crossing ability that I couldn't keep them all out of the box. Sir Andrew was dominant as ever. I think he won 100% of his aerial duels. I've started coming to grips with the higher first touch error, and I'm playing much smarter football. The change to a 4-4-2 Holding with two CDMs set to 'stay back on attack' has also helped drastically. I have my RM and LM instruced to 'stay wide' and my strikers to 'stay central'. I find that Mackay-Steven still gets into those good central positions despite playing on the left wing, and the results so far have been positive. I'm also playing in 'defensive' mode against the bigger teams and using Chelsea's default tactics, which is proving incredible.

@Kenny Excellent start to the season, son. The friendlies weren't anything to write home about, but you pulled the results out when you had to. And then the September results were just massive, each one! From the 6-1 against Cardiff to the 5-3 against Newcastle, September for Everton was all about the goals! Ings is turning into a huge player for you.

@Chico Such a big result against Napoli, and with your B-Team at that! You followed it up with a good performance against Bilbao, but that 2-0 against Atletico is probably the highlight of your season so far. Nobody would have expected that! You seem to be doing pretty well for your first season in the top flight. And don't worry, I'm not going to use a takeover either. The struggle is where it's at! Southampton are the ones to receive a cash injection in my game. It'll be interesting to see what they do with it. As for formations, like I stated in my reply to Moose, I have found something interesting in the 4-4-2 Holding with custom player instructions. I find myself able to keep the ball so well, and the way I have my team set up, I don't feel the lack of a CAM at all. Mackay-Steven had been playing in a free role behind the strikers in a 4-4-2 diamond until the end of October, but we now have him at LM in the 4-4-2 Holding. This lets him play as a false CAM, because while he has been told to remain wide and provide an outlet on the left wing, he still drifts into pockets of space due to his default position as a CAM. Long may this continue!

@Keano First of all, congratulations on the treble! Scoreline shows that both games were relatively comfortable for you, but I bet that's not the whole story. City pushed you to extra time, while Napoli looked like hitting back until Bony gave you the cushion. In the league, that top three is incredibly tight. No wonder you kind of gave up hope until the trophy presentation started! Unreal figures from Bony. You'll have a task turning down the massive (and I mean massive) offers that will surely come your way from Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Manchester United, and so on and so forth.

@Jamie Hope you enjoy the game as much as Chico and I have. Like him, I haven't played in a while, but I just might get back on it thanks to you reminding me about it now!

@Rabbit And the Alcorcon juggernaut keeps rolling along. What a way to start the league with 12 consecutive wins! Never mind the loss to Arsenal; you can always come back from that sort of thing. You have a six-point lead over second, and I only see you increasing that as the season rolls on. Great to see Farago and Knoll have been called up at last, and Lopez has been in blazing form it seems. Can't express the same league excitement for Dagenham, but it looks like you're starting to turn the team's fortunes around after a lacklustre start. Incredible, though, to see you top of your Champions League. Locadia is going to be a crucial factor for you going forward.

Oh, and I forgot to give you guys my preseason results, so here's a quick rundown. The first game was against Real Madrid. Karim Benzema scored in the eighth minute, Caolan Lavery equalised with 30 minutes down, and Sergio Ramos got sent off just before halftime. They failed to plug the gap for the second half, so Lavery picked up another goal while Stevie May scored two. Tom Lees popped in a penalty for good measure to make it a very rare 5-1. I was planning on writing that match into the storyline as a money-spinner to explain the higher transfer budget, but I guess it just slipped my mind. The second game was a 0-0 draw with Valenciennes, and we beat Espanyol 3-0 in the final preseason match on the back of a Lavery hat-trick.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

FC St. Pauli
FIFA 15 - Season 3

Die Freibeuter der Liga

Winter Transfer Window

Transfers Out

Joshua Gatt - €7,000,000 to Arsenal
Tom Trybull - Loaned to FC Luzern
Bernd Nehrig - Loaned to Braunschweig
Tjorben Uphoff - Loaned to Fleetwood Town

Transfers In

RB, Daniel Brosinski, 28 yrs old - €2,700,000 from FSV Mainz

Daniel Brosinski has bounced around a few different clubs before settling in at FSV Mainz in 2014. He established himself as first choice on the right side of the defense. He is known as a full back who likes to get forward and provide support in the attack, utilizing his great pace. He is likely to overtake Bacuna as first choice right back for St. Pauli, but will have to perform in order to keep the spot.

RM, Jakob Jantscher, 28 yrs old - Pre-Contract agreement from FC Luzern

The Austrian midfielder has made his career on the outside of the midfield, preferring the left side of the pitch despite his right foot being dominant. He began his career with his hometown club of Sturm Graz before moving to RB Salzburg in 2010. He left in 2013, eventually landing at FC Luzern in 2014. His game focuses around his technical abilities, and is one of the better crossers of the ball around. He should fill in as a supporting player who can play both sides of the midfield and excel in set piece situations.

RM, Julian Green, 21 yrs old - Loaned from FC Bayern

With Joshua Gatt out, and Jakob Jantscher not joining until next season, it was expected that someone would come in to provide depth on the right side of the midfield. That help arrived in the form of USA international Julian Green from FC Bayern. Known as one of the most promising prospects out of St. Pauli manager's home country, Green is a natural fit as a loan option. He has progressed through Bayern's youth academy slowly earning playing time despite being stuck behind the likes of Ribery and Robben. He should see plenty of time on the pitch being the main right sided player remaining on the roster.

Press Conference

Q: The sale of Joshua Gatt came as a surprise after only a year and a half with the club. What can you tell us about this decision? Was it due to performance, the offer, or other circumstances?

A: Joshua Gatt is a great player, but it was tough to find the consistent playing time he wanted with both Werner and Storm playing on the wings as well. An offer came in from Arsenal, and we felt it was a good offer and that it was a good chance at a fresh start for him at one of the largest clubs in the world.

Q: You only made 1 permanent addition that is joining immediately, and that is Daniel Brosinski. What brought this player to your attention, and what role do you see him playing for St. Pauli?

A: Daniel is a player have we have competed against on the pitch several times since he has been at Mainz. He is a very talented player on the back line, and his pace is always something that catches people's attention. I was impressed with his ability to cover the field and join in on the attack. He will begin competing with Bacuna for first choice and the competition will be open for the taking.

Q: After the sale of Gatt, you added Julian Green on loan, and Jakob Jantscher on a pre-contract agreement to join next season. What can these players provide on the right side that Joshua Gatt couldn't?

A: It's not so much about what Gatt couldn't do, he was a player that we received a great offer for and felt it was time to part ways. Green gives us depth no the right side in the mean time, and has the potential to factor in as a consistent starter if he performs on the pitch. Jantscher is someone who I have had my eye on for some time now. He is a phenomenal technical player that can provide a skill that we lack at times with his delivery on crosses and set pieces.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

@Chico: Good win over Napoli with your B-team in the Europa League. League play was up and down this month, but what a win against Atletico! Mid table is a good position for a newly promoted team right now, plus I think you can really push higher. Hopefully you can challenge for a top 6 spot by the end of the season.

@Kenny: Huge win over Cardiff to start the month and you followed it up with comfortable wins all month. Deservedly atop the table, and I think this could really be your year with how you are currently playing.

@Keano: A few tough draws this match, but I'm glad you pulled it off and stayed ahead of City on goal differential! Congrats on winning the league, that is a fantastic accomplishment with Swansea. You pulled off your own treble with wins in the FA Cup and the Europa League as well. Time to aim for doing the same but with the Champions League instead!

@Moose: Tough draw against Everton to start it out, but what a strike by Cresswell on that free kick. Really has become a specialist for you there. Great job taking care of Swansea after that though, absolutely dominated them. What a win over City to round it out! It looked like it wasn't going to be your game at first with all those missed chances, and that unlucky goal from City off the deflection. Way to stick with it though and take advantage of that Yaya mistake!

@Vrabbit: Alcorcon first. So close to a perfect month, but Arsenal ruined it for you. Good to see you are still in position to advance in the group though. Leading the table in league play as well. You are still in good position for the treble! Dagenham now. Really rough start against Fulham, but followed it up with a great win over Bayern! Solid month overall though. You won't stay 8th for long that is for sure.

@Biloxismitty: Glad to see you got this started now! Valencia are a great club to start a career with, and have a squad full of useful players, but still has room to get better. Shame on the draw with Seville to open it up, but you really made a statement with that win over Malaga. Can't wait to see how the year goes for you.

Exeter City F.C

FIFA 15 – Season 2

The Grecians

February

J. Paint Trophy Match:

Doncaster 0 – Exeter City 2

EXE –Appiah (77’)

The first three quarters of this second leg was humdrum. The sides only had three shots between them at half-time and it seemed to continue into the second-half until Cowan-Hall picks the ball up on the right and starts to tease the defender with a few turns and step-overs. Suddenly, Cowan-Hall breaks away from his marker and bombs up the wing. He crosses the ball low to Appiah who makes a great run to shake of his marker and then all he has to do is sweep the ball past the keeper and into the net making the aggregate score three-one to Exeter.

EXE – Sinclair (80’)

Exeter City are surely through as Appiah slots the ball through the defence to allow Jake Sinclair to break into space and collect the ball. He sprints towards the goalkeeper and places the ball into the right corner, clipping the post before going in.

Our Best Performer: Kwabena Appiah

Making their Debut: Reece Brown, Devante Cole

SkyBet League 1 Match:

Shrewsbury 1 – Exeter City 1

EXE – Inniss (45’)

Matthew Grimes takes a corner from the left and whips the ball to the edge of the box where Ryan Inniss rises above his marker to head the ball over the stretching goalkeeper and into the far corner.

SHR – Akpa Akpro (85’)

Akpa Akpro comes on for Jamie Reid and he manages to get space on the edge of the box. The defence invite him into the box where he hits the ball into the bottom left corner. Glen Mabil should really have saved it and Exeter might as well of had no defenders.

SkyBet League 1 Match:

Exeter City 4 – Blackpool 1

EXE – Sinclair (PEN) / BLA – Hurtado (RED) (13’)

Ajeti holds the ball up on the edge of the penalty area before surprisingly bursting into the box where Jhon Hurtado slides in but gets none of the ball. Jake Sinclair steps up to take the penalty and he boots the ball into the left corner.

BLA –Mellis (25’)

Inniss concedes a foul on the edge of the penalty area. Jacob Mellis lifts the ball up and over the wall for it to dip into the top left corner. A great free-kick!

EXE –Sinclair (45’)

Appiah passes the ball down the line for Amari’i Bell on the left. He crosses the ball in first time and the ball floats over the defence and dips perfectly for Jake Sinclair to nod home at the back post.

EXE –Sinclair (55’)

A tantalising pass into the box allows Ajeti to pick the ball up to the left. He drifts into the middle more and tries to shoot but Rikard Östlin slides through the back of Ajeti but it’s astonishingly not a foul. The ball trickles out into no man’s land. The keeper rushes to get the ball but Ajeti is quick to get back on his feet and chase the ball. The striker gets there first but is immediately pressed by the keeper. Ajeti then spots the run of Jake Sinclair and amazingly, Albian back-heels the ball through the keepers legs and into the path of Jake Sinclair who just guides the ball across the line.

EXE – Brown (89’)

Jordan Moore-Taylor passes the ball into the midfield for Reece Brown who skips through into the box before smashing the ball into the corner for his first goal for the club.

Our Best Performer: Jake Sinclair

SkyBet League 1 Match:

Yeovil Town 0 – Exeter City 1

EXE –Cole (28’)

Appiah drifts into the middle before lifting the ball over the defender to Devante Cole’s feet. He controls the ball well and volleys it low enough to make it difficult for the keeper and it goes into the bottom corner for his first goal for Exeter.

Our Best Performer: Kwabena Appiah

SkyBet League 1 Match:

Exeter City 5 – S****horpe 1

SCU – Madden (45’ +1’)

Hakeeb Adelakun collects the ball on the right and whips the ball into Paddy Madden who rises above Moore-Taylor to head past the keeper.

EXE – Sinclair (PEN) (54’)

Jake Sinclair beats Callum Howe on the half-turn and bursts into the box where he tries to get a shot away but he is impeded by the foot of Howe and it’s a penalty. Jake Sinclair steps up and he places the ball into the left corner of the net.

EXE –Sinclair (58’)

Ajeti steals the ball off of David Mirfin and instantly threads the ball through into Jake Sinclair who one-twos around Callum Hope to knock the ball home.

EXE –Brown (75’)

Reece Brown receives the ball in the middle and feeds it to Appiah on the left. Brown makes a blistering run and Appiah times his ball perfectly to allow Brown to run into the box unmarked and volley the ball past the keeper with his weaker foot.

EXE –Brown (81’)

Devante Cole gives the ball to Reece Brown on the edge of the box who uses his pace to make enough space to smash the ball inside the near post with his weaker foot. Reece has been on fire since coming on from the bench!

EXE –Cole (83’)

Exeter City win the ball and pass the ball around in the midfield. Ajeti picks the run of Cole who sprints past all of the defenders to beat the keeper at his near post once again.

Our Best Performer: Jake Sinclair

SkyBet League 1 Match:

Bradford City 0 – Exeter City 3

EXE –Cole (PEN) (11’)

Devante Cole feeds the ball to Albian Ajeti who spins and runs at the defence, he nudges the ball to the right in the penalty area to get a shot away but he is clattered into by Bradford midfielder, Matthew Dolan and it’s a penalty. Cole buries it and Exeter have the early lead.

Albian Ajeti is forced off the field with an ankle injury in the twenty-first minute. (Replaced for Jake Sinclair)

EXE –Appiah (43’)

A corner from the right is whipped in by Matthew Grimes and the ball goes towards the back post where Appiah glances the ball into the net. The keeper really should have come out to deal with it but all he did was stand and watch as the ball flew past him and into the net.

EXE – Sinclair (73’)

The ball is cleared to safety by Liam Sercombe and the ball drops straight to Jake Sinclair who jumps over an attempted challenge and slots the ball past the keeper.

Our Best Performer: Kwabena Appiah

SkyBet League 1 Match:

Exeter City 4 – Rotherham United 2

EXE –Sercombe (8’)

Jake Sinclair finds himself through on goal after a great pass by Devante Cole. He shoots and the keeper saves with his legs but Liam Sercombe manages to get onto the rebound to put the Grecians into an early lead.

EXE – PEN / ROT – Árnason (RED) (11’)

Devante Cole passes to Reece Brown who’s just inside the area. Kari Árnason slides through the back of the man in an attempt to take the ball but ends up conceding a penalty and receiving his marching orders to leave Rotherham down to ten men for the next eighty minutes. Jake Sinclair steps up and tries to place the ball into the top right corner but it ends up smacking the crossbar to leave it at one-nil.

ROT – Tidser (29’)

A shocker as Rotherham intercept a bad pass by Craig Eastmond and they counter with Conor Newton. A one-two with Michael Tidser allows Newton to slot Tidser in and he manages to get onto his own rebounded shot to nod the ball into the goal.

EXE – Sinclair (41’)

Devante Cole breaks down the left and pulls the ball back to Sinclair who’s in the area and he manages to slot the ball under the keeper’s body and into the net.

ROT –Brandy (62’)

Conor Newton picks the ball up and threads a great ball into the path of Febian Brandy who slides in to poke the ball over the keeper and across the line.

EXE –Sinclair (67’)

Kwabena Appiah steals the ball off the right back and bombs down the wing on the counter attack. He delivers a low ball into the box for Jake Sinclair to drag his foot back to enable him to put it into the back of the net.

EXE – Sinclair (85’)

Tim Payne dips the ball over the defenders and to Jake Sinclair who’s in the box. He takes a touch to control the ball and then places it into the bottom corner for his hat-trick. Jake Sinclair had way too much space there, surely the game would have been different if Rotherham had had another player on the pitch...

- Aaron Dean looks to have great potential if he can knuckle down and get a lot of first team action. He favours to play on the left but this left-footed playmaker looks like he would also be comfortable in the middle.

Press Conference:

Q: Congratulations onbreaking the 100 point mark! How are you feeling right now?

A:It’s obviously a great safety net to fall into but I am focused on continuing forward and enjoying our play in the last month or so of the league.

Q: If the transfer window shows anything, it’s that you can turn low-rated strikers and sell them off for big money. To give a few examples: Graham Cummins, Jamie Reid and Tom Nichols. There have also been reports that your front pairing of Jake Sinclair and Albian Ajeti could go for big money. What do you have to say about this?

A:Firstly, I have no intentions to sell them at the moment. I want to show any player deciding to come to the club that I can make them perform to the best of their ability and not just strikers either.

Q:You’re in the final of the J. Paint Trophy and you’re up against Yeovil Town who are your main rivals. How will you be preparing for that match?

A: Well, it would be great if we didn’t get any injuries. We’ve got Albian (Ajeti) out for a couple of games but he should be back by then. Secondly, we have to keep our eyes on the prize and make sure that we want it more than Yeovil.

Finally! I've been waiting for this career for a long while already. Valencia has a great squad with several players that have great potential. Looking forward to seeing what you do with Guardado when he comes back from loan. He left Valencia in poor form, with both club and country, but the 2014 World Cup brought him back to life, becoming captain of Mexico and a key player for PSV. I'm not expecting to see much of him though seeing the quality and potential Valencia has in midfield. Great start so far especially with that 5-0 destruction of Malaga. I had an extremely difficult time getting past Ochoa so it really surprised me when I saw your scoreline fantastic job!

The Malaga game was quite a surprise as I was playing it. At the end of the season, Guardado is going to be a problem cause I have a bunch of quality players at the same position.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

I forgot to mention, in my Valencia CM, I'm going to only add players from Spanish/Portugese speaking countries or players of Hispanic/Lusitanian heritage.

Hellas Verona

March 2016

Semi Final, 2nd leg
Hellas Verona (2) 1 - 2 (3) Juventus
Choupo-Moting 44'
Ogbonna 35', Marchisio 105'

"Juventus were the better team tonight but they got very lucky with their goals. Both of them were scored after bad defending and goalkeeping. Especially Marchisio's near post shot could've been saved. I won't complain, though. Juventus are a very big team and they had a hard time on our ground."

Napoli 1 - 1 Hellas Verona
Choupo-Moting 62'
Mertens 90'

"This was another game that ended badly for us. We were in the lead for half an hour and then Napoli equalised after poor marking. Neither team had that many chances so maybe the draw was a fair result. Eric (Choupo-Moting) continued to play well."

Round of 16, 1st leg
Valencia CF 1 - 0 Hellas Verona
Araujo 85'

"I don't think we deserved to lose this game. We had more shots and we were the better team out there but, once again, bad defending lead to them scoring. Their goalie had a very good game. Now we will focus on the second leg and hopefully beat them."

Hellas Verona 1 - 0 Sassuolo
Milik 27'

Simulated.

Round of 16, 2nd leg
Hellas Verona (3) 3 - 0 (1) Valencia CF
Florenzi 22', Choupo-Moting 53', 78'

"The boys showed real quality out there and they out-classed Valencia's players in every way possible. The whole team had a good game and I'm very happy that we have made it to the quarter finals. Eric (Choupo-Moting) did a great job again and his brace decided the game in our favour."

Atalanta 0 - 0 Hellas Verona

"I want to forget this game as fast as possible. Both teams were terrible but we were worse because we wasted far more opportunities. Paulo (Dybala) was terrible again and I'm really concerned about his lack of goals."

Quarter Final, 1st leg
Hellas Verona 2 - 1 Olympiakos
Choupo-Moting 40', Florenzi 90'
Ghazaryan 14'

"We completed the comeback in beautiful fashion to get the win! Olympiakos played well and their left back Masuaku impressed me. Paulo (Dybala) missed many chances again and I'm not sure if he'll start the next few games. Unfortunately Olympiakos got an important away goal."

Player of the Month

Eric Choupo-Moting

The January arrival had another good month in front of goal and he hasn't had any trouble getting used to the new league. Choupo-Moting scored five out of the eight goals Hellas Verona scored in March. The Cameroonian has had to step up when his striker partner has been missing many chances.

Hot or Not

Hot

Eric Choupo-Moting

The striker was the player of the month and he scored many vital goals.

Alessandro Florenzi

Florenzi was one of the only players of the team who had a good month in March. The Italian passed the ball well and he scored two game-winning goals in two Europa League games.

Kaan Ayhan

The only centre half of the team who did well in March was the Turkish Kaan Ayhan. Corleone changed his centre backs in every game and Ayhan was the only one who played always well, no matter if he played as a centre back or as a holding midfielder in a midfield diamond.

Not

Paulo Dybala

The biggest disappointment of March was the striker Paulo Dybala who also leads the Serie A goal chart. The Argentinian youngster appeared in almost every game but he failed to find the net in every game he played. On top of that he missed some very good chances.

Eric Dier

The British centre half has had a big drop in form in the year 2016 and it continued in March. He was often caught out of position and he didn't have the best month in defence.

Rafael Marquez

Rafael Marquez is the third player on the 'Not' list. The captain didn't play as much as he's used to but when he got to play he didn't do anything amazing. He moved slowly, tackled poorly and headed badly.

Serie A Table

1. Hellas Verona, 62 pts, 29 GD, 49 GF
2. Juventus, 62 pts, 29 GD, 48 GF
3. AC Milan, 56 pts
4. Napoli, 56 pts
5. AS Roma, 50 pts
6. Parma, 43 pts
7. Udinese, 40 pts
-----------------------------------------
18. Bari, 23 pts
19. Bologna, 21 pts
20. Pescara, 14 pts

Sorry this update took so long, I've been busy with school.

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