Games

Premier League
Matchday 7
Burnley 1-1 Leicester City
10' Heaton (OG)
30' Lowe (Kightly)

MOTM: Michael Kightly

Number of starting English players: 9

What a game. The home team took the lead early, as a cross into the box got fumbled by Heaton into our net. Yet the star of the hour was the youngest player on the pitch, as Nathan Lowe scored his first goal for us - a great header hit well after a cross from Kightly. Another point, which was pretty sad, since we were the only team that scored that day.

Premier League
Matchday 8
West Ham 2-0 Burnley
36' Nolan (Demel)
72' Nolan (Song)

MOTM: Dean Marney

Number of starting English players: 8

Sadly, West Ham played a lot better than us. Kevin Nolan scored twice. His first was a great cross into the box and a beautiful header, which Heaton did get to deflect, yet it still went in. His second came from a through pass from Song, where he got through on goal and beat the keeper 1-on-1. Another 3 points lost, yet this time, we actually looked very bad, compared to the Hammers.

Premier League
Matchday 9
Everton 2-1 Burnley
16' Lukaku (Coleman)
44' Lukaku (Naismith)
62' Marney (Ward)

MOTM: Dean Marney

Amount of starting English players: 9

As Coleman played the ball into the box, it got cleared by Keane, yet it landed right infront of Lukaku, who volleyed it to the top corner. Half an hour later, we made a defensive mistake, allowing Romelu through on goal, where he doubled the score line. Marney did get one back, as Ward passed him the ball from a free-kick just outside the box, and he smashed it in. Still, last game of the month was another loss.

League Table

My Thoughts

Whats this, Cruzerr posting two days in a row? Impressive? Eh, just had a bit more time so I figured why not? :P

Bad form continues - We are looking more and more like the real life Burnley. Sadly, things are not getting too much easier.

Injury update - Bishop, Bennett and Shackell are all back, yet George Boyd broke his ankle, meaning that he will be out for another 8 weeks.

Next month - The month will start with an away game against Arsenal, followed by another away trip to the Britannia stadium to face Stoke. Then, we get to go back home and play against both Hull City and Aston Villa.

I hope you enjoyed this post, please, if you have any feedback, do let me know!

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.

I'm ready to start. And as you have the priority this year, you get to post first. I hope this plays out well.

You don't even know how much I would love to join in and make it 3-way with me as 'Gladbach, but my exams are in the way at the moment

I tried this last year with Regens but it didn't work out so I'd have loved to try again

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Does anybody know how to get pictures from zimbio.com to work on OS? They have lots of good football photos (especially for the Russian league and lower English leagues), but they never work here. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, I will try to catch up and comment on everyone's CMs later tonight.

They never work for me either, but I've literally just thought of an idea. You could screenshot the picture and paste the URL of the screenshot in your post.

That would be great, but maybe another time, I don't know quite how we'd add you in, but come time that you could, maybe we could find a way.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Borussia Dortmund

Simple, not much happened, just a couple transfers and one simmed friendly.

Transfers In:

Martin Odegaard - €2,000,000

Yussuf Poulsen - €3,000,000

David Alaba - €16,500,000 + Schmelzer

Transfers Out:

Kevin Grosskreutz - €3,800,000

Friendly:

V. Inter Milan: 1-1
Simmed

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That is all for this month, I think it was a good month, and with that, I hand it over to Cruzerr.

EDIT: I just realized I have to do my next month as well before Cruzerr can post because it's still a transfer month lol.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Regens & Cruzerr: So you guys can't purchase the same players, and when you're going to sell a player you can't accept an offer from the rival team, but if you decide to sell a player whether because of bad form or personal preference, can the other user purchase him in their career after you've already sold him in yours? I think it could make some good stories if you guys can do that. For example a player flops with Regens, Regens sells him to a any team except Cruzerr's, but then Cruzerr purchases him in his career and becomes a star player with his team.

Also, what if instead of taking turns with the priority transfer rule, the priority transfer goes to whoever has a higher league position in their career. So if for example Cruzerr goes into January as 3rd in his career, but Regens is 2nd in his, then Regens gets the priority transfer even if he already had priority in in the last window. If both users are 1st then priority will be decided by point difference and/or goal difference. This approach can be used to decide any other things as well.

You could also do this the other way around, so the priority would be given to whoever is worse in the league and therefore needs the transfers more than the other. These are just a couple things that came to mind as I was reading.

I actually like both of these ideas. What about you Regens?

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.

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!

At the beginning of the update I was like "oh no, he's starting to drop points" but luckily that didn't happen. You're still doing very well and you should get promoted. Marseille will be a huge challenge next month. M'Madi has been amazing for you!

I like both of them as well, so do you want to do who is worse in the league gets priority, or better? For this summer I guess I'll take it, and then whatever we choose would be the option in January, and then for the next summer it'd be whoever finished better/worse for who gets it then. Also, my next update will be out soon.

Yeah, I am trying to turn the form around but judging my next matchups, it looks quite difficult. Also, my bad with the typo, Boyd is injured for another 8 weeks, not months. Sorry.

Second post will go up shortly, about to play the last game before the update. Might have a huge signing, depending on if this player accepts his contract.

EDIT: Unfortunately, as I feared, he has declined. Am now on deadline day trying to find a different big signing.
