Juventus v. Roma

Asamoah 14’, 65’; Vidal 25’
De Rossi 30’; Gervinho 43’
This game features the top 2 teams in Serie A. Juventus leads the league with 13 points and Roma has 12 points. First real chance by Asamoah, he had a strong shot that hits the keeper’s hands and goes into the back of the net. Marchisio with a great lobbed through ball to a sprinting Vidal who tucked into a low corner. After a horrible clearing attempt Roma gets the ball onto the feet of Daniele De Rossi. Buffon parries away a shot attempt and Gervinho buries the rebound. Nothing happens until the 65th minute where Asamoah buries a shot far post.

Bayern v. Juventus

Lewandowski 43, 45’; Alonso 80’
Marchisio 26’; Pereya 83’
Raul Hilton received great news during the international break as his main strikers Tevez, and Llorente were able to return for this pivotal game against the German powerhouse known as Bayern Munich. Bayern gets awarded a bull**** penalty and Robben goes bar down and misses. Marchisio gets a steal and then dribbles around the Bayern defense and shoots top and finishes to give Juventus the lead. Lewandowski ties it for Bayern in the 43rd minute off an assist from Robben. And then in stoppage time he hits a long header past Buffon. Xabi Alonso makes it 3-1 in the 80th but Pereya cuts the lead back to 1 a couple minutes later.

Manager's Comments:

So we have just finished off the month of October. We were in great form coming into the month by not losing a game in September. We kept that going against Roma. But then we hit a wall against Bayern after having more than a week off between games due to the international break. We came out flat in that game and sadly that carried over our next two games. But we finished the month strong with back to back shutouts of Palermo and Genoa. Looking to next month we start the month off against the worst team in Serie A @ Empoli and then we head to Turkey to face Gala in a Champions League group stage match.

Upcoming Games:
@ Empoli
@ Gala
vs. Parma
vs. LOSC Lille
vs. Torino

any feedback is appreciated

Not a bad month putting aside the Sassuolo game which you simmed anyway.

The Bayern result looked a little difficult to take but the calibre of their team is sometimes just too much. Hope that you stay at the top and continue to fight off Roma for the top spot!

SD Eibar 1 - RC Deportivo 2
EIB - Arruabarrena 15'
DEP - Perez 45', Cavaleiro 54'
MOTM: Del Moral

Manu found Arruabarrena in space up the middle and he was able to hit it with a first time strike into the top right corner. Just before half Juan Dominguez fired a shot from inside the box that was deflected and landed right at Perez's feet to slot home past the keeper for the equalizer. Cuenca beat the defense down the right wing and took the ball to the end line before sending a low cross into the box for Cavaleiro to tap in on the back post for the winning goal.

RC Deportivo 1 - Real Madrid 3
DEP - Perez 77'
RMA - Aguero 38', Ronaldo 60', Khedira 90'
MOTM: Aguero

Aguero opened it up after a great through ball from Ronaldo got him open on the right side of the goal. He controlled it and then fired with his right foot inside the far left post. Marcelo tried to send a cross in but it was deflected straight up into the air inside the 6 yard box. Ronaldo seemingly got away with shoving the defender out of the way before blasting the ball off the crossbar and in to double the lead. After a Real Madrid corner was cleared, the ball was pushed ahead to Perez on the counter. He beat Modric and then Ramos on his way to the right side of the goal and fired a strong shot to the top left corner. Aguero played the ball from the left side to the top edge of the box for Khedira to hit first time directly at the keeper. However, in a poor display of goal keeping, the ball bounced off of the keeper and into the net on what should have been a routine save.

CEL - Lopez 60', Nolito 90'
DEP - Riera 66', 87', Insua 71', Valeron 74', Bergantiños 81'
MOTM: Cuenca

Hernandez broke free down the right wing and sent a cross into the box that found Lopez between two defenders for a header into the top right corner. Cuenca sent a corner into the box and picked out Riera for a strong header into the top left corner. Cuenca lined up another corner, this time picking out Insua in the box for a looping header that settled in the left side of the goal. Cuenca then beat his man on the right wing and cut the ball inside before playing it to Valeron for a quick shot that was deflected, but fell right back to him for the easy finish. Valeron played the ball to Medunjanin on the left side of the box and he jumped over a tackle before picking out Bergantiños on the back post with a low cross for the tap in. After winning yet another corner, Valeron sent it in this time on the near post and Riera was able to head it inside the top right corner. Nolito pulled one back with a late consolation goal from the middle of the box that he placed in the bottom right corner of the net.

RC Deportivo 1 - UD Almeria 0
DEP - Medunjanin 90' (PEN)
MOTM: Ruben

A few scattered chances throughout the match led to nothing after both keepers put in amazing performances. Almeria's best chance came in the 64th minute when Verza stepped up for a penalty and Lux was able to read it perfectly and make the save. In the 90th minute Perez attacked down the left side of the goal and attempted to send a low cross in only to have Dos Santos take him down with a sliding challenge from behind. Medunjanin placed the penalty to the right, and even though the keeper guessed right, he saw it hit the back of the net for the deciding goal.

Deportivo La Coruña Player of the Month

Lucas Perez


Lucas Perez was impressive this month scoring 2 goals, and drawing the decisive penalty against Almeria that led to the win. He has been an important link in the midfield with Haris Medunjanin and Juan Dominguez who as a group have been able to control games for Deportivo.

Manager Comments

Juan Dominguez - Good news and bad news regarding Juan Dominguez this month. The good news is that we have reached an agreement with him to extend his contract through 2017. The bad news is that he has suffered a broken rib against Almeria and will likely miss the next 3 months. This is a blow for us considering the form he had been in and the partnership he had developed with Medunjanin in the midfield.

Consistency - Another month is past and we are still sitting in 2nd in the table. We are very proud to still be in this spot, but we know that the hardest is still to come. Our biggest challenge yet was against Real Madrid, and they showed us what a true world class team is capable of. There is a long way to go, but we are performing better than most had expected from us.

Academy Update - We have started to narrow down players to keep an eye on throughout Spain. Although we haven't committed to signing anyone yet, there are 3 players specifically that have a chance to become the first player added this year. Our hopes are high, and we know that each player we add is an important piece for our future.

This month was great even if you take the Real Madrid game into account! It's nice to see you in 2nd and I'm looking forward to you pressing for the top spot if possible!

Hertha BSC 0 - 0 Borussia Mönchengadbach

Spoiler

(played on Legendary)

The game between two top five teams was meant to be a very exciting and action-packed match but it wasn't that at all. There were only three shots on target in the whole game and pretty much everything that happened was the two teams passing the ball around.



Borussia Dortmund 2 - 1 Hertha BSC
Reus 21', 45'
Kalou 90'
(played on Legendary)

With this victory Borussia Dortmund need only one point from the two remaining games to win. Dortmund were dominant and controlled the tempo of the game. They got the lead halfway through the first half with a beautifully placed free kick by Marco Reus. The winger went ahead and got a brace in stoppage time from the penalty spot. Hertha tried to equalise the game but they failed at that. Salomon Kalou managed to pull just one back in stoppage time after cutting in from the right.



Hertha BSC 3 - 1 Eintracht Frankfurt
Stocker 43', Kalou 57', Ronny 84'
Aigner 21'

The Berliners needed all three points from this game to remain in a good position in the fight for Europa League spots. Things didn't start off well when Stefan Aigner was left unmarked in the box and he scored from a low cross with a nice volley. After that Hertha went on the attack and really looked for the equalising goal. They got it in the 43rd minute when the ball from a corner fell to Valentin Stocker right at the edge of the box. The attacking midfielder took control of the ball, let it hit the ground once and he shot it with the outside of his foot to the top left corner! Fifteen minutes later Salomon Kalou got his 20th league goal of the season when he dribbled around a defender in the box before positioning the ball into the bottom right corner. Half an hour later Änis Ben-Hatira started a counter attack by playing Kalou through on goal. The Ivorian passed the ball Ronny inside the box and he had an easy job tapping it into the net. Roy Beerens got injured for three months in the game.



1899 Hoffenheim - Hertha BSC

Hamburger SV - Schalke 04

Going into the final game of the season the situation was like this: Hertha BSC were in sixth, two points ahead of Schaiße - I mean Schalke- 04. Hertha had a better goal difference and a draw was everything they needed to qualify for the Europa League through the league. Schalke on the other hand were also qualified through the cup: Bayern and Dortmund were the two finalists but because both of them had already qualified for the Champions League the team in seventh qualifies for the Europa League. It was more about pride and the amount of prize money at this point. Hertha Berlin were up against Hoffenheim away from home and Schalke faced HSV, also away.

Hertha BSC started the game in average fashion. They abused the wings like they always do but Andreas Beck on the right didn't let almost anything go past him. They had a few chances but they were all saved by Baumann in goal. Hoffenheim also had a few good attacks but Hertha's defence had a good game, too.

Half time: 1899 Hoffenheim 0 - 0 Hertha BSC
...........Hamburger SV 0 - 1 Schalke 04

The second half started. Hertha knew that the result at the moment would satisfy them but Hoffenheim could've taken the lead and ruin the game. The Berliners continued attacking and they had some chances from range and from the box that were saved by Baumann. The 90th minute was closing and Ronny hit the post with a longshot. A few minutes later Valentin Stocker hit the crossbar. It felt like the net was under some kind of a spell. Then the fourth official put his board in the air showing the amount of stoppage time: two minutes. Hertha tried hard to score and then it happened. Valentin Stocker ran into the box and he was taken down! The referee rightfully gave the penalty and Salomon Kalou stepped up to take it. Every second felt like a minute for the Berliners. The Ivorian took a few steps backwards, started his run, shot the ball to the right of the keeper... and it went it! Hertha BSC had taken the lead with the last kick of the game!The referee blew his whistle right after the game was re-started. Hertha had finished in sixth!

Full time: 1899 Hoffenheim 0 - 1 Hertha BSC
..........Hamburger SV 1 - 1 Schalke 04


Player of the Season



Salomon Kalou

Kalou was the league top scorer with his 21 goals and he secured loads of points for his team. Without him Hertha BSC couldn't have finished in sixth like they did. Sadly Kalou is getting older but the board of the club still believes in him.

Pal Dardai Resigns!

After a very successful season as the co-manager of Hertha BSC the Hungarian coach has resigned. Dardai said that the job wasn't the right one for him and that he prefers to concentrate on coaching Hungary. Surprisingly only three days after he said that it was announced that Dardai will coach Hertha's U-23's as well. Simon Müller will continue as the lone manager.


Transfer Budget: €30,000,000
Wage Budget: €140,000


The season was a very successful one and I'm actually glad that we didn't make it into the Champions League. The career will go on for longer. The budget surprised me a lot but I'm very, very happy about it. It will allow me to sign everyone I want (well, it allowed me to sign pretty much everyone I wanted). I'm enjoying this career a lot and I hope you're enjoying it, as well. The squad review will be up later today.



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

Kalou, Kalou and even more Kalou! Every time a read one of your update for Hertha Kalou's name would have to pop up sooner or later within it! Nice one for him getting the golden boot and nice one on getting the most clean sheets in the league with Kraft!

6th position is a solid part of the table to finish in by the way! Good luck for next season and i'm looking forward to seeing who you sign!

Real Zaragoza 1-1 Sporting Gijón
Pedro 67'
Scepovic 73'

MotM: Iván Cuéllar

It took until the 67th minute for the deadlock to be broken and it came in the form of Pedro Sánchez smashing home a rebound on the volley. Fernández crossed it in and Cuéllar flapped at it making it bounce out into the box. Pedro was the first to react and he put it away continuing his great form.


Pedro smashing home the rebound.

The joy was short lived however when league top scorer Scepovic pounced on a defensive mistake to level on 73 minutes. We didn't deserve to only get a point from this game. Even though they hit the crossbar we had more chances than them and should have taken them.

Liga Adelante
Match 10
Girona CF 0-3 Real Zaragoza
Esnáider 6' (Pérez)
Suárez 45' (Esnáider)
Tarsi 57'

MotM: Esnáider

Esnáider got his first start with the B team as we tried a 4-4-2 Diamond Wide. The striker scored in just the 6th minute heading a chipped through ball, from Pérez, past the Girona keeper. Suárez won the ball off Escribano and then he slid rashly in from behind earning himself a red card and reducing Girona to 10 men. We took advantage by pressed for a second and after missing several chances it came on the brink of halftime. Pérez won the ball on the left off Gómez and then played it into the middle where Esnáider was the waiting. He had all the time in the world to slide a pass through to Suárez who finished it first time past Becerra. The lead was extended to 3-0 on 57 minutes when Eldin sent in a cross that Suárez attacked at the front post. Richy beat him to the header but only headed it down into the 6 yard box where Tarsi controlled it and tapped into the net. We controlled the game from then on and although Girona had some chances Óscar Whalley was well up to the task.

Match 11
Real Zaragoza 1-0 Deportivo Alavés
Munir 16' (Pen)

MotM: Óscar Whalley

The B team played again because of the Cops Del Rey match in 3 days. There was only one change made, Munir for Suárez. Pérez was absolutely clattered inside the box by Mudina to give us a penalty and Munir his first goal for the club when he sent Manu the wrong way.


Munir coolly converts from 12 yards.

Towards the end Alavés really started to turn up the pressure but with 7 saves Óscar Whalley took home Man of the Match and kept us in it with some really excellent saves. Munir played extremely good up top getting 4 shots on target and narrowly missing out on Man of the Match.

Pedro 77'
Mario 83' (Pedro)

MotM: Pedro Sánchez

The game started terribly with Mario shoving Pelayo over inside the area giving López the opportunity to score from the spot, which he did right into the bottom left corner. Alcolea went the right way but was unable to reach it. Borja dragged the centre half out of position leaving space for Fernández in behind to run onto his pass and take one touch into the box before burying the ball into the bottom left corner. But then Luis Fernández scored just 4 minutes later. He shot on the turn into the bottom right corner past Alcolea. Ruiz de Galarreta leveled the game again with a near post header after some great work and dribbling by Porcar to get the cross in. Ruiz de Galarreta was involved again this time winning a penalty off Pavón after he slid in and took him out. Álamo confidently dispatched it to give us the lead going into halftime. Porcar again did excellent work to make room for the cross from inside the box and David de Coz miss judged the header, while José Juan just stood there meaning Pedro had an easy header into the net. Mario then out muscled Pavón to beautifully head home a Pedro corner into the net. On a 5-2 scoreline we advance to Round of 32 against Málaga.

CD Tenerife 2-1 Real Zaragoza

Ifrán 61'

MotM: Diego Ifrán

Basha mistimed a challenge about 5 yards outside the box giving away the free kick. Ifràn confidently stood up and placed it in the bottom corner past Óscar Whalley.


Óscar Whalley just misses the ball.

The second half came after some more chances for both teams ended the first 45 minutes. Whatever Keane said at halftime worked when Eldin scored just 3 minutes in. Munir turned a few yards from the edge of the box and played a little ball into Eldin who was being played onside by the left back, García. He took a touch and placed it around Jacobo.


Eldin equalizes.

But Rubén left Ifrán run onto a through ball and he finished it along with the match as we wasted many chances to equalize. A second defeat now in the league.

Match 13
Real Zaragoza 1-0 RC Recreativo
Borja 43' (Ruiz de Galarreta)

MotM: Ruiz de Galarreta

To end the month we faced RC Recreativo at home and after dominating for the first 40 minutes Borja put us ahead. He received the ball with his back to goal outside the area. He knocked it to his left into space and made his way into the box taking his shot just as Zamora missed his challenge. The ball went straight into the bottom right corner past a motionless Sotres.


Borja's clean strike.

We had some more opportunities in the second 45 minutes but we focused on keeping the defence solid, which we did and in doing so came away with 3 points to end the month on a good note.

Pedro Sánchez - RM, 68 (+1) Ovr, 27, Spain

The winger is an important player for Zaragoza and in 3 games he scored twice and set up another goal. He also was constantly winning the ball back and was a menace on the left wing for right fullbacks this month.

Hope you enjoyed this month! Thanks for reading!

Firstly, i like the use of the screenshots that you've been doing! It adds a nice dimension to your updates!

It's nice to see that you're still at the top of the table despite the draw against Sporting Gijón and the loss against CD Tenerife. You did well to bounce back with the one-nil win against Recreativo after that loss though. The game against Lugo in the Copa Del Ray looked like a fun one to be involved with too.

Pedro's looking like one of you main men at the minute and was involved in many of your goals that month.

It's looking quite tight in that top section of the table but hoepfully you stay at the top and good luck for gaining promotion!

Some nice signings to add depth, hopefully no more forfeits! Although now that you are in the BPL that should not happen anymore seeing as they have international breaks. But man what a sickening first result after coming sooo close. Still a point against Chelsea is very good. Then you backed it up with wins against Southampton and Hull. Your counter attacking style seems to be working!

Thanks! I hope that my new signings will be good enough to effectively rotate with my current squad. It looked promsing in the Chelsea game and I'm hoping that they keep performing well!

I was incredibly annoyed after the Chelsea goal but there was not much that I could have done to prevent it anyway and as you said, taking a point away at Stamford Bridge isn't too bad.

Your budget was terrible for the Premier League but you signed some nice players with that amount. I bet someone here will be happy about the van Nieff loan. The results were amazing! Looking forward to seeing how you do against the big boys.

Just over half a million to keep us in the league... I was a little disapointed but hopefully at the end of the season i'll get a nice cash reward!

I'm very happy with my results so far! It was a little tough to accept the Chelsea game but we bounced back with some solid results. In my next updates I'll be sure to mention the upcoming games that i have.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

An up and down month in the league but it's still looking very good. Promotion should be easy to achieve and you have great quality in the team. The league is very close but you shouldn't have trouble. Nice game in the cup.

Thanks! The league is definitely very tight, although I believe we have enough quality to get promoted. Malaga is next in the cup so lets hope we can sneak a result over the 2 legs!

Firstly, i like the use of the screenshots that you've been doing! It adds a nice dimension to your updates!

It's nice to see that you're still at the top of the table despite the draw against Sporting Gijón and the loss against CD Tenerife.

It's looking quite tight in that top section of the table but hoepfully you stay at the top and good luck for gaining promotion!

Chico was the first one to do them! I just thought they'd be nice to do and I'm glad you like them. Pedro has been a really important player on the left for me! The whole team has been pretty good. The only areas I'm looking to strengthen are the CB and CDM positions. Both primarily due to age, 2 CBs are over 30 and 1 CDM is over 30, and considering I only have 2 CDMs with 1 of them on loan, a nice young potential player would be good to get in in the next window or 2.

October 2014

Sevilla FC 0 - RC Deportivo 1
DEP - Postiga 63'
MOTM: Lux

Cuenca playeda ball over the top of the defense for Postiga to run on to inside the box. Postiga headed the ball down to the ground and then used his toe to poke the ball just inside the left side of the goal for the only goal on the night from either team.

RC Deportivo 1 - Valencia CF 1
DEP - Medunjanin 28'
VAL - Feghouli 41'
MOTM: Lux

Medunjanin lined up a free kick from 35 yards out to the left side of the goal and fired it around the left side of the wall curving perfectly into the top left corner. Perez played the ball to Feghouli on the right side of the goal and he took a touch around Insua and blasted a shot inside the near post for the equalizer just a few minutes before half.

Victor flicked on a cross from Stuani into the middle of the box and it fell to Aduriz for the easy finish past the keeper to open the match. Cuenca sent a corner into the box that was deflected out to Riera who's shot went wide and into Costa. Costa was able to control and and turn and fire it past the keeper for the equalizer. Lopo lost a challenge inside the box leading to a series of passes from Espanyol that led to Aduriz getting an open look to complete his brace and regain the lead. Lopo then redeemed himself by getting his head on a Cuenca corner kick that looped over the keeper and settled under the crossbar in the top right corner.

League Table

Juan Guerra (Spain) - 16 years old, 48-60 OVR 67-85 POT, LW/CF/RW, Unknown

Deportivo La Coruña Player of the Month

Germán Lux


Germán Lux was on top of his game this month taking home man of the match honors in 2 of the 3 matches. His performance between the sticks also led to him being named the La Liga player of the month.

Manager Comments

Look who's on top - We have climbed to the top of the table now, even with recording two draws this month. Our form is better than anyone could have imagined at this point and we need to focus on maintaining this right now.

Academy Update - We have added our first new prospect to the academy. Juan Guerra is an attacker that has yet to determine his final position, but could play on either wing or in the middle. He is the first piece of our new approach to building our future, and we will be watching his development closely.

Keeper in form - Germán Lux is in outstanding form right now, and even took home the La Liga player of the month for October. He currently leads the league in clean sheets with 4 and has still been impressive in those that he allowed some in. The defense is gaining confidence having him behind them and we are getting better each month as a result.

Match 1

Liverpool 0-0 Southampton
In a good game between two quality sides, neither team could find the back of the net. The first real opportunity of this game came to us, Forster producing a remarkable save with his foot to divert Sturridge's first time effort onto the post. Sterling had whipped the ball in low and Sturridge's effort went through the defenders legs but the unsighted Forster made a wonderful save. Sturridge then missed a good chance, flicking it past Bertrand before smashing into the side netting. Just after half time, substitute Lambert was brought down in the box by his former team mate Jose Fonte, but despite being stonewall and unbelievably obvious, the ref waved play on. Duricic hit the post for Southampton on the break after the bad decision and then it became an end to end battle of who has the best defence.

Match 2

Spurs 1-2 Liverpool
Skrtel 14
Kane 48
Eriksen 90
The first good chance of the game came to Harry Kane against his former club. He beat 2 defenders for pace before Lloris made an excellent save to deny him the opener. However, minutes later Skrtel powered in his header from a corner at the near post. Lloris made another excellent save to deny Kane 10 minutes later before Eriksen struck the bar with a header and Soldado missed the rebound. Kane finally got his goal against his former club just after half time, and what a goal it was. A wonderful one two between Moreno and Gray left Gray running towards the byline. He whipped it across goal and Kane bundled his header in to cap off an excellent team move. Mignolet was forced into an excellent one handed save from a Soldado screamer just after the hour mark. Lloris made another great save a few minutes later, denying Gray what would have been an excellent solo goal, beating three defenders with skill before Lloris made an excellent save with his legs. Spurs got one back in stoppage time, Eriksen firing in beneath Mignolet after an unlucky rebound off the back of Sakho.

Match 3

Manchester City 2-1 Liverpool
Nasri 38
Dzeko 45
Ibe 49
We had the first clear cut chance of the game, the ball played through to Lallana who smashed it wide when one on one with Hart. Minutes later, Nasri capped off a wonderful passing move, smashing into the top corner and Dzeko made it 2 soon after, smashing into the bottom corner. We pulled one back just after half time through substitute Ibe, prodding into the corner after great team move. We couldn't break down the defence after the goal and City held on for the win.

Match 4

Liverpool 1-0 Aston Villa
Balotelli 24 (PEN)
We took the lead in this game from the penalty spot when Kane was nudged in the area and Balo stepped up to calmly place home. Balotelli got injured soon after, breaking his ankle and joining Lucas Leiva and Martin Skrtel on the side lines. Benteke fired over for Villa before Ibe forced a great save from distance. Sturridge rounded Guzan but took an extra touch and put it out for a goal kick and we couldn't make it 2.

Manager Notes

Given a budget of £54.5 million at the start of the season, we spent just £10.4 million this transfer window. We made no marquee signings, but that doesn't mean we didn't try. There were attempts for Asier Illarramendi, Giovani dos Santos and Gonzalo Higuain, but none went through. I wanted to sign young players as well, and preferably English to keep a good home grown status. I cast my eyes to Spurs striker Harry Kane as my number one target. Young, strong, quick and a trademark poacher, he would fit in perfectly as a backup. Now he will be first choice next to Sturridge for 3 months till Balo gets back. Clyne was brought in for good reason. A quality right back in his mid 20's. Younger than Glen and on lower wages. I got rid of dead wood and bought in a wonderful full back. Bishop and Gray are gambles. Both young I bought them in initially and planned to loan them out, however Gray impressed me so much against Spurs I decided to keep him and Bishop had no takers. Hopefully my faith is repaid.

I would like to build my team around an English core of Sturridge, Henderson and Sterling with more British players around and then some flair filling the gaps. The defence will need improving next window.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Pretty much good results excluding the Sassuolo and Bayern games. You should be able to win the league.

Yea the League should be easy to win. Roma is definitely surprising me. I figured it would have been me and Inter at the top. Yea the B team got the Sassuolo game because it was only a day after that defeat at Allianz Arena. I am hoping when Bayern comes back to face me at home, I am hoping for a draw at least. I think I am only the 2 points back as the goal differential is te same for each of us at 2.

Not a bad month putting aside the Sassuolo game which you simmed anyway.

The Bayern result looked a little difficult to take but the calibre of their team is sometimes just too much. Hope that you stay at the top and continue to fight off Roma for the top spot!

Yea Sassuolo I wasn't surprised at because I was playing my B squad because of a tight schedule. I had Bayern on Wednesday and then on Friday I had Sassuolo.

Good result against Roma but then slightly disappointing losing to Bayern. You finished the month strong though, even if it was simulated!

Yea I wasn't a loss to Bayern but man that is a great squad. I played the game to the best of my ability but Lewandowski killed for the 2 goals. Yea I simulated because I wanted to get more games in and that loss to Bayern really deflated my confidence.

Also the reason for simming was to finish the month because I am also running a career with Man U. And man my team is scary. I brought in Ronaldo and Thiago Silva. Also I got Xavi and Pirlo to rotate in the midfield. Also I got Aymeric Laporte. So I have been playing that career mode as well. Because my attack is deadly. I am running a 4-3-3, that looks like this:

Valdes (just sold De Gea)
from left to right:
Shaw-Laporte-Silva-Carvajal
Herrera-Pirlo/Xavi
Di Maria
Ronaldo-RVP-Rooney

My team is now deadly. The first was even better because I was running a front 3 of Ronaldo-Falcao-Rooney. And I was scoring in bunches with that team. But I figured RVP was capable of filling the hole of Falcao and he has. I also used a financial takeover to bring in Ronaldo as the Silva signing took up most of my budget. So I think I paid around 40-50MM plus Mata for Ronaldo. And I have never looked back.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Okay time to play some catch up.

Simppu - Hertha: Really strong performances down the stretch of the season to make up a lot of room from where you took over. A 6th place finish is impressive considering you didn't have much opportunity to make it your own team. This offseason will be huge for you since you will be able to start shaping it the way you want it.

Oxford United: September had some mixed results, but they were overall solid. The beat down you put on Wimbledon was something though Good job on leading the table.

Sportsfreak - Balotelli went absolute beast mode against City and what a match that must have been. Solid start to the season though. Liverpool are such an interesting team considering the talent they have combined with the young players in their squad. There is a lot of ways you can go with them though, and it will be interesting to see how you develop them, as well as what formation you choose to focus on.

BiloxiSmitty - Good signing with Pastore, shame you had to send out Enzo Perez, he is a player that I personally like. All English teams in friendlies which is interesting, but those were some tough teams to try to prepare for the season against haha. Good way to follow those up with the SuperCopa win over Barca on aggregate. You absolutely dominated them in that first leg.

Keano - You're performing really well with Zaragoza, and Borja Baston keeps scoring at will from what I can see. I was also happy to see some other players get in on the action and Pedro Sanchez win the POTM. 1 point clear at the top with a long way to go, but I think you should manage just fine this season and be in La Liga soon enough!

10cabee - Had some tough losses in March, but you held on to the top spot. It's a shame that you were knocked out to Arsenal in the quarter final of the F.A. Cup especially when they were down a man, but they are obviously a really talented team. Quite a few draws in April, but you more than held your own to finish on top of the league! Congratulations! Finally Exeter in the Premier League where my career crashed. Can't wait to see you take them to where I wasn't able to!

YOEL VAN NIEFF! Haha, I know me may not get much time with you now, but he is always a favorite of mine. A great FK specialist, and I would recommend playing him as your LDM. His secondary position is LB and he has some solid defensive stats, but when he gets forward he's got a powerful shot and can really hit them from distance and put them on goal.

ChicoBass - Fantastic finish to the season, and grabbing the 5th spot is something to be very proud of. So close to a Champions League spot too, but it's nice to have at least another season to build before getting into the CL. Looking forward to how you do with the added Europa League fixtures next season, your B team will be playing a bigger role for sure.

Jagger - What a variety of results in October. Some high scoring matches as well. You earned some good points in some of them, but gave some away in others. You just need to find the right style for your team and once you have that things will start rolling!

Redsox4evur - Juve on top of the table as expected, and you are just a point behind Bayern in your CL group as well. Roma is still hanging in there with you though, and I personally think it's more fun when you have someone you can kind of rival with for that top spot throughout the season. Hopefully there is enough drama to keep you motivated and you come out on top at the end of the season!

Jamiec47 - Liverpool is back for you! I love when you do this since you have a passion for the team. Clyne and Kane are great signings, and you didn't have to send out much the other way so you conducted some very good business in this window. Mixed start to league play though, but you had some tough opponents with City and Southampton. A solid win over Spurs though.

Moose - Nice win over Arsenal and it was well deserved! The Liverpool match was rough with the injuries you picked up, especially Ox being out for 3 weeks now. Dybala was really coming into form for you too, but he shouldn't miss much time. Still, there's some big matches coming up and it would have been nice to have all of your players available and rested.

I'll say this much: "Im not doing what I did with Monaco. Im going to do more with my pipeline this time around and I will be doing writeups similar to the ones I did with Monaco in the transfer windows as well as use the interview concept like I did with Betis before I saved over the file. I've got big plans for this CM and I hope you guys will enjoy it

I think they will be right there with me. I think it is going to come down to the next time we meet. I also think that Inter will make a charge and try to climb there way to the top. I will be motivated to keep playing it as is but my Man U career is also so much fun for me to play with though because of my attack presence. My front 3 is Ronaldo, RVP, Rooney. And behind them Di Maria, Pirlo/Xavi and Herrera. So that team is scary.
I am considering posting that one in here is as well. Just because I am having a lot of fun playing with that team. If yall want to me post that career I will as well. And I start from the next month I start.

RC Deportivo 4 - Getafe CF 2
DEP - Postiga 6', 19', Perez 89', Cavaleiro 90'
GET - Pedro Leon 9', Castro 59'
MOTM: Postiga

Postiga opened the scoring after Medunjanin played him through on the left side of the goal and he finished to the left side of the keeper. Rodgriguez found Pedro Leon in a gap in the defense and he was able to tee it up and finish to the bottom right corner. Fariña attacked the left side of the box and sent a low cross in that found Postiga for the tap in from in front of goal. Castro played a great give and go with Oscar to get through on the right side of goal and chipped the keeper as he dove at his feet and saw it go off the crossbar and in for the equalizer. Luisinho found Perez at the edge of the box and he attacked to the right before finishing across the goal to the bottom left corner. Cavaleiro sealed the win after dribbling from the right side of the box to the middle and firing it past the keeper into the bottom left corner.

Cordoba CF 2 - RC Deportivo 0
COR - Ghilas 45', Fidel 64'
MOTM: Rossi

Ghilas opened the scoring when he received the ball off a run between the two center backs and fired a well placed shot into the top right corner. Borja found Fidel free on the left side of goal and be blasted a strong shot past the keeper on the near post to double the lead.

RC Deportivo 2 - Real Sociedad 0
DEP - Postiga 19', 66'
MOTM: Postiga

Fariña used some great skill to beat his man down the left wing and send a cross into the box that found Postiga for a strong header into the right side of the goal. Perez lined up a corner and sent it into the box picking out Postiga for the header to the far post to secure a brace and double the lead.

Atletico Madrid 0 - RC Deportivo 0
MOTM: Moya

Atletico had a slight advantage in the the possession battle with 52%, but their accuracy in front of goal left something to be desired only putting 3 shots on target to Deportivo's 6. Postiga registered some good chances, putting 2 on goal, and having another ruled offside, but ultimately nothing was getting through Moya in goal for Atletico.

Deportivo La Coruña Player of the Month

Hélder Postiga

Hélder Postiga was in top form this month bagging two braces for a total of 4 goals. He was a disruptive force up front for the opposing back lines and really proved why he continues to his name in the starting XI week after week.

Manager Comments

Midfield Crisis - Another midfielder has gone down with an injury as Alex Bergantiños suffered a sprained ankle and will miss 2-3 weeks. This leaves both him and Juan Dominguez out of the selection. We still have some quality options, but those two were certainly big pieces to our strategy.

Academy Update - We have added another prospect to our academy. 16 year old Rafael Ansaldi is a true enigma on the pitch and can play just about anywhere. He seems to be a very physical player and should settle most likely into the center midfield, or as a central defender.

League Form - Even though we have began trailing off a tiny bit, we are still in second and winning more matches than we are losing. I am happy with the performances so far. Taking a point from Atletico in Madrid is huge, and no easy feat by any means. Our confidence is high, and we need to keep it going.

Copa Del Rey - Copa Del Rey starts next month with both legs against Levante coming up. Our form right now is ideal heading into this, but anything can happen, especially over a 2 leg competition. We want a good cup run, so this will be a priority.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Moose - Nice win over Arsenal and it was well deserved! The Liverpool match was rough with the injuries you picked up, especially Ox being out for 3 weeks now. Dybala was really coming into form for you too, but he shouldn't miss much time. Still, there's some big matches coming up and it would have been nice to have all of your players available and rested.

Yeah, the injury bug has really started to bite us hard after getting through the first 70% of the season unscathed, we've now seen Cresswell, Jenkinson, Tomkins, Nkoulou, Dybala, and the Ox pick up injuries in about the span of a month. Thankfully they weren't all terribly serious so hopefully we can power through we the depth that we have to stay at least in the top 4.

Tex - I was gonna compliment you on drawing with Atletico and having a solid month on the back of Postiga doing fantastically for you, but it seems the Atletico match was more of points dropped based on your place in the table! Hopefully you can keep up the form, as this is definitely what you expected to be achieving I'm sure, but you can definitely relax about any relegation fight.

Simppu - You always seem most comfortable at Hertha, so I'm expecting good things from this career. 6th is a fantastic finish for you, as your boy Kalou was a monster and stole the season. I see in your recap you said he's starting to decline, so do you have any plans for a backup/replacement striker?

Jamie - Good to see Liverpool back, as your first Liverpool career is really the one I associate you the most with. Some smart buys as well, with Clyne becoming a definite upgrade and Kane a lethal finisher (if he carries over his form to FIFA). I'm surprised that you loaned Can out, what is your plan with him?

Keano - Looks like you should be on your way up to La Liga at the first time of asking, though the table is very tight all the way down to 8th or so. Your defense has really been rock solid, and I'm gonna have to keep reading to learn about a lot of the players you come into contact with/use in the Liga Adelante.

10cabee - Great work, you've done fantastically and really rose through the ranks to get to the Prem. It should really be interesting to see how you do, and hopefully you aren't saddle too much by a tough board and can just stay up this season in order to strengthen the team before making a real run for Europe. BTW that was an absolutely BRUTAL budget to have to work with!

Haha, I really have no idea how I am up in 2nd right now. Although my schedule has been generous so far for the most part. I've been playing against mostly the bottom half of the table. The only real challenges so far were Real and Atletico and I was able to take 1 point between the two combined. 2nd half of the season should turn into a grind I would think. Finishing so high would kind of ruin my 5 year plan to build this team slowly. So, while I won't be throwing any of the matches, I wouldn't be too upset if I started losing some either. If the form continues then so be it I suppose, I'd just rather have the chance to start developing some of my youth first before I am competing at the top like that.
