Alright, any idea what teams you would want to use?

Ha Ho He

May 2017

Hertha BSC 2 - 0 FC Augsburg
Arnold 31', Son 45'

Hertha Berlin have secured the Bundesliga title! This routine win against Augsburg was enough to keep the four-point lead intact with just one game left to play which means that the Berliners will lift their second Bundesliga trophy in a row. The game started off well for Hertha who attacked well and they got the lead half an hour into the game Heung-Min Son hit the post from three yards out and the ball bounced to Maximilian Arnold who shot it into the bottom right corner to score the title winning goal. Fifteen minutes later in stoppage time the Korean forward got one himself by cutting in from the left wing and curling the ball into the bottom right corner. The second half was pretty dull and nothing worth mentioning happened in it.

SC Freiburg 1 - 2 Hertha BSC
Hoffer 55'
Calhanoglu 80', Kalou 88'

The last league game of the season saw Hertha BSC beat a bottom three side Freiburg in a tough match. The home side even got the lead in the beginning of the second half when Hoffer slotted the ball past Benaglio. The lead lasted until the 80th minute when Hakan Calhanoglu equalised the game with a clical shot into the bottom left corner. Eight minutes later Salomon Kalou got the winner from a counter attack to make sure that his side finish the league season on a high note.

Final
FC Köln - Hertha BSC

Hertha BSC had reached the final of the Deutscher Fussball-Bund for the third consecutive time. Meanwhile their opponent FC Köln, who just got relegated, were going to play their first cup final since 1991. The venue was the majestic Olympiastadion in Berlin, just like every time. Some Bundesliga teams like Schalke, Köln and Bayern München wanted to have a different venue but the DFB disagreed with them. Even though Köln were the "home" team it was clear that Hertha had a big advantage.

And the game started with Hertha's kickoff. The Berliners passed the ball around the midfield but they weren't able to find much space in Köln's defence. They had two shots in the first 30 minutes but they weren't good shots at all. The remaining fifteen minutes of the first half were also mainly played in midfield. The second half started off in the same fashion but in the 67th minute Diego Benaglio made a huge mistake. The keeper threw the ball straight to Köln's winger who had an open net in front of him. The winger decided to go for a volley... and the ball went out for a throw in! Hertha started pressurising their opponents more and finally in the 81st minuet Salomon Kalou got played through on goal. The Ivorian took a shot but it went straight at the keeper's legs... but it went in somehow! What a huge mistake by the Köln keeper! The Berliners then just pulled everyone back in defence and they waited for the final whistle. Köln weren't able to get through Hertha's defence and the cup final was over. Hertha secured the domestic double!

Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad? Getafe and Rayo Vallecano? Marseille and Lyon? Porto and Benfica? Roma and Lazio? Arsenal and Spurs? Newcastle and Sunderland? Galatasaray and Fenerbahce? BVB and Schalke? Those are some pretty big rivalries that come to my head right now.

Pretty good month there. The dropped points against Derby, Watford and Leeds would've been very important but we are talking about some good teams so it's not that important. You're still in a very good position and with some good results you could reach the top two. Paterson was good this month.

I won't lie, that month was terrible compared to August. Draws against middle table teams everywhere and after that you got destroyed by City. I'm surprised that you're still in the top four. Terrible luck with all those injuries!

Thanks, I agree that we did drop points but we are still in a very good position to get into the top 2 with some good results. Paterson was very good this month alright.

Congrats on the league and cup double. Good to see Kalou remain as the league's top scorer and get in the assists leaderboard too. I look forward to seeing if you can win the Champions League in your last season with the club. Will you start a new career or just move to a different club?

**Keano16** · 05-06-2015, 09:53 AM

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Cruzerr: A lot of draws this month which I suppose is more like Burnley in real life. I'm surprised that you are still third but that just shows how good a start you had. Look like you had an awful lot of injuries this month too which is always tough.

Cruzerr & Regens: Liverpool & Everton? United and City? Barca and Real?

Blue Eagle: Nice couple of transfers and you have a good team there. Always some improvements to be made but that squad is well capable of achieving those objectives.

Chico: Now there's a proper budget! Looking forward to seeing how Campana does for you as Camarasa's replacement. You had a solid preseason. Unlucky to see your youth keeper leave in 2 on his debut though.

Jamie: Solid month and Pritchard was good again. Good to see you climb up to 3rd.

Thanks! I'm not sure if it will be my last season or if I'll keep going until I win the treble. Whatever I do I'll start an all new career after that.

Simp put out some really nice ones with Bilbao/Sociedad, Getafe and Rayo Vallecano, Marseille and Lyon, Porto and Benfica, Roma and Lazio, Newcastle and Sunderland, or BVB and Schalke. Anyone of those would be very good. Also I like Keano's Liverpool and Everton, we don't necessarily want huge clubs I don't think, but good sized clubs like these. Obviously they aren't all the same in quality, but it gives you some options.

BPL: Newcastle/Sunderland, Liverpool/Everton.
BBVA: Bilbao/Sociedad, Getafe/Rayo V.
Ligue 1: Marseille/Lyon
Serie A:Roma/Lazio
Bundesliga: BVB/Schalke
Primeira Liga (Portugal): Porto/Benfica.
Just to split it into leagues.

Rules would be pretty simple, although I'll probably miss some and we can work together to find a complete rule list. Unless you would want to make a super league, with all the good teams combined, and we could even do it in England and make all 4 divisions super leagues. That would be one option, otherwise we could just do the teams in their natural leagues.
I don't know how we would want to do posting, if we would want to wait for each other so that for every month one of us posts an update, the other posts one themselves before the other person goes on to post another update. I think if one of us buys a player, the other shouldn't buy him, just for the rivalry sense to continue. There aren't really rules set in stone, I guess we would pretty much make them up as we go, unless you can think of some?

I have a few ideas that could make it interesting, but I am on my phone atm. I like the BvB/Schalke or Roma/Lazio the most.

Gazélec Football Club Ajaccio
FIFA 15 – Season 1
14/15 Season

Le Gaz

August

Ligue 2

Clermont Foot 1 – GFC Ajaccio 1

CLE – Novillo 14’

GFC – M’Madi 60’ (PEN)

Both teams have a few chances in the early stages before Harry Novillo shows some great close control to get past two Gazélec defenders before finishing past Clément Maury. Lucas Libbra chests the ball down into the box before attempting to shoot but the leg of Clermont defender, Jacques Salze becomes tangled in his and Lucas goes down. The referee gives a penalty which Ali M’Madi finishes into the top corner for the equaliser. John Tshibumbu had a good chance to put Gaz in the lead but the opposition keeper, Franck L’Hostis made a great save to deny him.

MOTM: Ali M’Madi

Injury News:

Louis Poggi has suffered a Bruised Elbow and will be out for 8 days.

Ligue 2

GFC Ajaccio 3 – Stade Lavallois 3

GFC – Tshibumbu 32’ 78’, M’Madi 45’ (PEN)

STA – Guerriero 31’ 35’, Alla 49’

Modibo Dembélé crunches into his own player before catching Tshibumbu in the box which stops the play and another penalty is given for Gazélec. M’Madi takes the penalty and blasts it down the middle. He gets too much power on it and it smacks of the crossbar. M’Madi has another chance but loses his footing before the ball gets cleared away. Lavallois seize their opportunity as Ludovic Guerriero manages to hit the ball first time into the back of the net. Maury’s positioning was awful and the shot was pretty much aimed at the middle of the goal; Bee will not be pleased with his keeper but his disappointment might not last for long because one minute later, M’Madi squares the ball to Tshibumbu at the back post who can easily guide the ball into the net for the equaliser. Only three minutes after the equaliser, Lavallois find themselves back in front as the ball is cut back to Ludovic Guerriero who hits the ball from the top of the area to see the ball clip the post before crossing the line. John Tshibumbu sprints into the box before the foot of Selim Ben Djemia makes contact with his ankle and he goes down. M’Madi doesn’t need to be told twice and he buries the ball into the top right corner to level things up to two-two at the break. Lavallois pass the ball on the edge of Gazélec’s penalty area for a while until Hassane Alla fires with his weaker left foot out of nowhere. The ball clips the underside of the crossbar before going in, in the forty-ninth minute of the game. Gazélec leave it only twelve minutes before full-time to get the equaliser they needed. John Tshibumbu is played through by M’Madi and he’s able to smash the ball and beat the keeper at his near post from a very tight angle.

MOTM: John Tshibumbu

Injury News:

Cyriaque Rivieyran has suffered a Sprained Ankle and will be out for 4 weeks.

Ligue 2

Nîmes Olympique 3 – GFC Ajaccio 5

NÎM – Lacourt 10’ Koura 26’ Kovačević 39’

GFC – Tshibumbu 4’ M’Madi 31’ 46’ 83’, Pujol 84’

Lucas Libbra manages to skip past a challenge before sliding the ball into John Tshibumbu who cuts inside to avoid a sliding tackle before sending his finesse shot into the bottom right corner for the early lead but it isn’t there for long as a piece of poor defending by Julien François allows Jonathan Lacourt to bend the ball with his weaker left foot into the bottom corner. Olympique then go in front sixteen minutes later as a ball over the top finds Anthony Koura who chests the ball down before guiding it past Maury and into the back of the net. Gazélec level it to two-two in the thirty-first minute as M’Madi uses his pace to get through on goal and slip it underneath the keeper. To mark and awful defensive half, NenadKovačević runs to the near post where Clément Maury makes an absolute dog’s dinner of his punch away and he totally misses it. Kovačević gets his head to it and it’s now three-two with five more minutes until half-time! One minute after the break, Tshibumbu sprints down the right wing and delivers a low cross which M’Madi and shovel it into the back of the net from. And once again, M’Madi comes to the rescue to snatch all the three points as Grégory Pujol shows great strength on the edge of the box to cut the ball into the middle where M’Madi can smash it first time past the keeper and it budges the back of the net for a four-three lead. Nîmes Olympique start the game off and charges forward and steals the ball near-instantly. He manages to get to the ball first and touch it past the last defender before lifting the ball over the keeper at his feet and into the back of the net for his first goal for the club.

MOTM: Ali M’Madi

Suspension News:

Louis Poggi has picked up a one match ban due to an accumulation of too many yellow cards.

Ligue 2

GFC Ajaccio 1 – US Orléans 0

GFC – M’Madi 1’

USO – Abdoulaye(R) 81’

John Tshibumbu finds his way through the Orléans defence where he smashes the ball against the post and M’Madi is there to tap in the rebound for an extremely early goal. Neither side could really do much after the first minute. There isn’t really much to say about the rest of the game except for when Bruce Abdoulaye got his second yellow for an ill-timed tackle on Lucas Libbra.

MOTM: Ali M’Madi

Suspension News:

Amos Youga has picked up a suspension for accumulating too many yellow cards.

Ali M’Madi has been in scintillating form this month! He’s now made it to second in the top goal scorers list and only Jonathan Kodjia has more goals. M’Madi has been excelling in the number ten role and he’s got a lot more assists as well as goals!

Managers Thoughts:

Wow, I’m doing much better than I originally thought I would do but I’m having a great time at the club and it’s a breath of fresh air to play in the French League.

Grégory Pujol has come back from his injury and he managed to get a well deserved goal this month. He’s undoubtedly not going to get much time with John Tshibumbu and M’Madi being able to play throughout the whole game due to their great stamina.

Fourth! I’m teetering on the edge of automatic promotion and hopefully the team can pull themselves together and move forward into the places above. Angers have been doing extremely well due to having Jonathan Kodjia who’s been on fire and he’s even got a goal against us (even though that’s pretty easy at the moment).

On the topic of conceding too many goals; I have chosen to change my sliders. Originally, I had the OS sliders but I didn’t feel they suited me and I think they’re next gen anyway. So I’ve chosen Angelacos’ slider set which Keano introduced me to. (Thanks Keano!) I’ve tested this slider set and I’m loving it! It’s scarily familiar to real life football (In my head anyway) and I’m all up for that.

Next month is looking quite busy. At least the French league is more organised than the English leagues because I have a week between each game which is played on a Friday. The only disruption is in the Coupe de Ligue at the end of the season where I face a strong Ligue 1 Marseille who won’t go down without a fight.

Career Record (W: D :L): 6-3-1

Thanks for reading my latest update! I’m always happy to hear your thoughts and answer any questions you may have!

Euros would be nice, and I was also thinking that not having the Euro competition for the first season is pretty good.

I was also thinking on some transfer rules:

1. You can't buy players or sell players to the rival team (makes sense, just wanted to point it out).

2. You can't buy the same players that the other team buys. So if you buy a player, then I can't buy him. Now, obviously, this is a bit difficult to manage, however, I thought of a thing called "Transfer Priority" - basically, since July and August are the first months where you can do transfers, one of us gets to post first. If you post first, you also post your transfers, so I can see who you went for. Then, I get to make my transfers, but I can't sign any of the players you did.

Now, when January comes, I get the priority this time, meaning that I can sign players first, and then you have to sign players and make sure that you don't sign the same ones.

I think that would make things a bit more interesting. Are there any more rules you want to add?

I love the priority idea. Also, to add to that, if I have summer priority this year, you get it next year, and we switch off every season just like that. Euros sound good. I'm ready to start if you are, also, if we both feel the need to add rules while we are going through, I think we could do that if we both approve of the rule.
