Recently, I became bored with the current career mode, so I tried to make something slightly different. I chose a team from the Colombian league, took out their roster, and replaced it with extremely low rated Spanish players from the Liga Adelante, and a few foreign players as well. I then put them into the Liga Adelante and that's where the series starts.

That team is Fortaleza, and this will be a major Road to Glory series.

Squad List

I'm already past the January transfer window

But I'll report again soon with results, transfers and growth. I was only able to start with €100,000 so dont expect much!

You've got such an awful team! I'm really looking forward to how this team will look in a couple of seasons time!

I've played heaps with Parma this year, and I love the 4-3-3 with them with one CAM. Try it out! You could move a CM back to make him more defensive, that helped me.

I feel the 4-3-3 might give you more control in midfield but then again having two strikers can give you a different option up front. I love wingers though and I'm using the 4-1-2-1-2 with Wycombe at the minute so I would go with that. The 4-3-3 could be useful for big games or if you need a change.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Quick Valencia update because my terrible internet failed to post the update twice and I can't be bothered to retype it for the third time. So yeah, in March we beat Sociedad 3-1, Atletico 3-0, Elche 2-1 and Deportivo 2-0. Bacca scored five goals in four games and we lead the league by five points. After all, Atleti won the league last season so why couldn't we do it now?

Sorry for this update being like this!

Valencia CF

April 2015

Valencia CF 1- 0 Villarreal CF
Piatti 13'

Unlike the first time we faced Villarreal in the Valencian derby this match up didn't prove to be that exciting. Pablo Piatti's single tap in goal in the 13th minute was enough to decide the game and instead of looking for an equaliser Villarreal decided to park the bus during the last half an hour. Strange? Yes. This game also marked Dani Parejo's comeback from his three-month injury.

Athletic Bilbao 1 - 3 Valencia CF
Gomez 28'
Negredo 24', Perez 73', Bacca 87'

Tap ins, tap ins galore. All of our goals were tap ins. Negredo put us into the lead at the San Mames with a tap in and a few minutes later Ibai Gomez equalised with a near-post shot. It then took until the 73rd minute for our second tap in goal. About fifteen minutes later Carlos Bacca finished the last goal of the game with another tap in.

Final
Valencia CF - Sevilla FC

Surprisingly the Copa del Rey final was played in April this season, in the middle of league games. That didn't stop both teams from fielding their best players, though. The Santiago Bernabeu was ready for Valencia's first King's Cup final since 2008 and Sevilla's first since 2010. The atmosphere was wonderful and it was a big night for all of the players and especially for Paco Alcacer, Vincente Iborra and Carlos Bacca who were all playing against their old teams.

The game begun with Sevilla's kickoff and only few minutes later they got their first chance. The ball was crossed into the box and Paco Alcacer headed it at Miguel Moya who parried the ball. Sevilla's Stephane M'bia reacted the fastest and he put his team into the lead! Valencia then started to push for an equaliser and only four minutes later Nolito unleashed a beautiful curling strike from the edge of the box that flew into the bottom right corner. The game was equalised! Valencia then started to take control of the game and in the 23rd minute Carlos Bacca took a shot from the box but Beto saved it. Three minutes later Enzo Perez was tackled just outside the box which resulted in a free kick. The captain Dani Parejo stepped behind the ball, took a shot... and he managed to curl the ball into the bottom left corner! Valencia were in the lead!

Spoiler

The second half begun and five minutes after the starting whistle Sofiane Feghouli was played through on goal. The Algerian saw Dani Parejo to his right and passed the ball to the captain of the team who had an easy job finishing his brace. Surely it was all over now for Sevilla! But the Bats didn't end there. In the 84th minute Carlos Bacca scored from a counter attack and in stoppage time Enzo Perez scored the fifth goal of his side from a rebound. Valencia were the Copa del Rey champions!

Spoiler

FC Barcelona 0 - 0 Valencia CF

Somehow this game ended in a goalless draw. Both teams had a good amount of chances but the defenders did a very good job. Nothing else to comment.

Rayo Vallecano 0 - 3 Valencia CF
Perez 14', Parejo 73' pen, Bacca 90'

We got a solid win from this game but at a big cost. Enzo Perez and Pablo Piatti got both injured for three and four weeks each. Perez was the one who opened the scoreline with a powerful shot into the top right corner under fifteen minutes into the first half. Dani Parejo then doubled the lead in the 73rd minute from the penalty spot and Bacca finished the third of the night with a tap in. We had 12 shots in this match.

Player of the Month

Carlos Bacca

The Colombian continued his amazing form in April with three goals in five appearances. He was again the star of Valencia's attack and there's no stopping him at the moment.

La Liga Table

1. Valencia CF, 82 pts
2. FC Barcelona, 72 pts
3. Real Madrid, 71 pts
4. Athletic Bilbao, 65 pts
5. Villarreal CF, 55 pts
6. Atletico Madrid, 54 pts
-------------------------------------------------
18. RCD Espanyol, 30 pts
19. Rayo Vallecano, 23 pts
20. Granada CF, 23 pts

My Thoughts

We did it, we won the Copa del Rey! Sevilla weren't a big challenge in the final and they didn't cause us problems apart from their goal. Other than that we had a good month in league play with one conceded goal in four games and with one draw against Barcelona. I think Barca have two games in hand but I'm sure that the title is ours now. I'm gutted that Perez and Piatti got injured but luckily they'll return soon.

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

While we were getting dominated in the first half, all we needed was a good cross by Marney and a well hit header to put us infront just before half-time. The second half didn't provide much, with the only interesting action being when Ideye scored from offside. Still, a good 3 points for us.

Premier League
Matchday 25
Burnley 0-2 Manchester United
81' Rojo (Rooney)
90' Carrick

MOTM: Lukas Jutkiewicz

Number of starting English players: 9

This game was really difficult, as we held on really well, yet Rojo punished us early, as United went really attacking and scored in the very end. Then, Carrick came on, and due to some bad play by us, Carrick got through on goal and put in the second one. Not the same kind of game from the start of the season.

Premier League
Matchday 26
Burnley 1-0 Liverpool
9' Ings (Jutkiewicz)

MOTM: Danny Ings

Number of starting English players: 10

Sometimes, we can play some superb football. This was not the case. We got a very lucky goal early, as a cross from Ward bounced off the crossbar, to Jutkiewicz, who passed it out to Ings and put it right past Mignolet. Liverpool were looking bad on the ball and off it, and we didn't look great either. I guess we just met them on a bad day.

Premier League
Matchday 27
Swansea City 1-2 Burnley
12' Ings (Lansbury)
56' Sigurdsson (Gomis)
66' Ings (Marney)

MOTM: Danny Ings

Number of starting English players: 10

Ings gave us the lead early yet again, as his shot spun into the top corner. Swansea pushed on and had some good chances in the first half, yet Sigurdsson came up and scored to tie it up. A few minutes later, Ings scored a header to give us the win.

League Table

My Thoughts

Fighting for the top 10 - This month went really well. The loss against ManU was a thing I did expect, yet the win against Liverpool lifted my spirits and really showed me that we can do this. WBA was a game that I did expect to get points from, yet Swansea were a really tough opponent, just like the first game of the season.

The tough games are coming - While the next month is going to be probably the toughest, since we will face Chelsea, Soton and ManCity, we have a lot of difficult games coming up. We have quite a few top 10 teams to face and a few of the lower yet tougher ones (sadly, Arsenal and Soton).

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

Here we go again. One month you do terribly and another month you do a great job.Well, apart from the ManU game but they are ManU, after all. You're in a very good position with a not so great team!

GFC – Poggi 86’

Grégory Pujol slips the ball through the defence for Louis Poggi who uses the last of his energy to sprint past his marker and neatly finish past the keeper with his weaker foot and it gives Gazélec the crucial goal they needed to win the game. In the eighty-eighth minute, Tours’ Xavier Chavalerin unleashes a swerving, dipping shot onto the crossbar from thirty yards out.

MOTM: Clément Maury (7.3, GFC)

This was the first game that was played on Angelacos’ sliders.

GFC Ajaccio 4 – Le Havre AC 2

GFC – Ducourtioux 9’ M’Madi (P) 12’,16’ Mayi 46’

LHA – Malfleury 34’,53

Le Gaz’s first goal came from David Ducourtioux in the ninth minute which he nodded past the keeper who was late off his line. The second came in the twelfth minute when Jérôme Mobris made a late sliding tackle in the box for M’Madi to put the resulting penalty away into the far right corner. Four minutes later Ali M’Madi finds space from a cross in by Kévin Mayi who can then guide the ball past the off-balance keeper and across the line. Le Havre bring one back to make it three-one with Geoffrey Malfleury as he stops on the edge of the area before toe-punting the ball through Amos Youga’s legs and off the bar before going in. One minute after the break, Mayi gets onto the end of a challenge from M’Madi and then he manages to curl the ball around the keeper and into the far left corner to make the score line four-one. In the fifty-third minute, Malfleury’s played in through the defence which allows him to sneak it under Maury for Havre’s second and last goal. Only six minutes after coming on, Grégory Pujol is forced off with an ankle injury and replaced by François Sinapi which allows Ducourtioux to push further up the field.

MOTM: David Ducourtioux (7.6, GFC)

Injury News:

Grégory Pujol has suffered a Sprained Ankle and will be out for 4 weeks.

Ligue 2

AJ Auxerre 0 – GFC Ajaccio 1

GFC – Andreu 30’

In the thirteenth minute, John Tshibumbu is elbowed in the box and he hits the deck. M’Madi takes the penalty and puts it into the left corner which the keeper saves spectacularly. David Ducourtioux furthers his good form as a ball by Louis Poggi finds its way into the penalty area. Ducourtioux sprints in front of his marker to head the ball against the post and Yoann Andreu can tap the ball past the keeper. The efforts of Auxerre aren’t enough to get the point and Bee’s men go away once again with all three points.

MOTM: Yoann Andreu (8.9, GFC)

Suspension News

Amos Youga and François Sinapi have picked up a suspension for accumulating too many yellow cards.

Ligue 2

GFC Ajaccio 2 – AC Arles 1

GFC – M’Madi 36’ Larbi 66’
ACA – Domoraud 9’

Wilfred Domoraud manages to break through a gap in the defence before neatly finishing past Maury for an early lead for the team in last place. After a couple of chances, Gazélec get their goal through Ali M’Madi who tackles a defender before using his pace to get past the last defender and tuck the ball into the bottom corner. M’Madi, who’s been brilliant today, manages to intercept a defender. He spots the keeper off his line and he tries to chip the keeper from far out and from an angle but his effort bounces of the crossbar. Mohamed Larbi sprints in and finishes with a diving header to put Le Gaz two-one up.

MOTM: Ali M’Madi (8.9, GFC)

Coupe de Ligue Round 2

Marseille 1 – GFC Ajaccio 0

MAR – Barrada 7’

David Ducourtioux loses the ball and it allows André Ayew to chip the ball into the box for Abdelaziz Barrada chest it down before rifling it into the top right corner. The rest of the game’s chances fell to Gazélec (two chances) and they couldn’t put them away. The team from Ajaccio are out of the Coupe de Ligue.

MOTM: Abdelaziz Barrada (8.2, MAR)

Cham. Niortais 2 – GFC Ajaccio 3

CHA – Roye 39’ Koné 57’

GFC – Boujedra 45’+1’ M’Madi 73’ Pujol 90’

Filippi gives away a free-kick just outside the box which allows Jimmy Roye to convert it and put Niort ahead. Just before half-time, Rafik Boujedra gets his first goal for Le Gaz as M’Madi defends from the front and wins the ball. He sprints onto the left wing where he delivers a great ball along the ground for Boujedra to slide in and prod the ball past the keeper and into the back of the net. Seydou Koné manages to finish from an impossibly tight angle but it’s helped due to Clément Maury inviting the ball into the near post in the fifty-seventh minute. Kévin Mayi plays a back-heel to Mohamed Larbi who takes an awful touch in the box and tries to slide in and get the ball. In the process, he knocks over a defender which provokes roars from the home crowd but play continues and the ball rolls out into the path of Ali M’Madi who smashes it along the ground and into the bottom left corner after a tiny deflection to finish off a highly controversial goal. Grégory Pujol’s first game back from injury and he steals all three points in the last minute as he makes a great sliding challenge to get the ball from a defender whilst still keeping it under his control. He jumps up and dummies a shot past the last defender before breaking free and smashing it into the top right-hand corner!

MOTM: Ali M’Madi (9.4, GFC)

Gazélec Ajaccio’s Player of the Month

Ali M’Madi

(14 Goals and 7 Assists in 15 Games)

The French Ligue 2 board have recognised him as the player of the month and so do we! It’s hard to imagine him being restrained and I expect him to become one of our most successful players this season.

*Denotes a cup game

Managers Thoughts:

Jonathan Kodjia has been in unreal form! I can imagine him being the driving force for putting his team in the top spot this month! M’Madi is still hot on his heels and I am looking forward to the battle of strikers for the golden boot this season!

We’ve moved into automatic promotion ourselves which I am ecstatic in that respect! The only disappointment this month was the Marseille result in the Coupe de Ligue but it really was to be expected due to them being in clinical form and we just didn’t have enough drive to get the equaliser.

Grégory Pujol is back from his second injury in a matter of weeks and he became our super sub in the last game which has earned him a more permanent place in the team providing that he can stay injury free. He reminds me of Andy Carroll, he’s amazing when he plays but he eventually has severely limited game time due to his injuries. (He’s got the injury prone trait by the way)

Our in Form Players: Ali M’Madi has unsurprisingly been in great form and he’s showing no signs of dropping it. Julien François has been in good form as a centre back. His six foot four frame has been making some great sliding and standing challenges throughout the month but above all, his aerial ability is out of this world!

Our out of Form Players: Clément Maury has not been showing the form that is expected of him. Our secondary keeper, Jules Goda, has been complaining about his lack of game time so I might decide to switch them over for the next couple of games. Despite have two great months at the start of the season, John Tshibumbu has been below par for the last couple of games and I really hope that he can salvage something before Pujol snatches it away from him.

Career Record (W: D :L): 11-3-2

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

Cabee's back! Another great month in France! Sadly you got eliminated from the cup but Marseille is a top four side in France so no shame in that. You're also in a very good position in the league. M'Madi has been amazing for you.

Yeah, they are back! You just love Clyne, don't you? I should try him out at some point. Kovacic and Nkoulou are also nice signings (and Kovacic is from Croatia, not Serbia :P). Keita should also do a good job for you. You got off to a very good start in the league. I think you'll win at least some sort of double this season.

Yep, I do love Clyne. Also, fixed, just a complete brain fart. Nkoulou is currently my best defender because both Skrtel and Sakho are out injured. Damn.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Hey guys, wanted to run something through you today.

Since you know with my Burnley career mode, I have the rule that I have to make a profit from my transfers, which is fine. Yet I also have the rule that I have to sell all my players at their base value, meaning that making a profit is quite impossible. The two rules are kinda objecting eachother.

So, I made a strawpoll with a quick question. Obviously this will come to playnext season, yet here is the question: Should I keep the profit rule and remove the value rule, vise-versa or keep them both?

The Return of the Chairboys

November 2014

Sky Bet FL2: Match 16
Cheltenham Town 1-1 Wycombe
Gornell 27' (Pen)
Morias 36'

Motm: Matt Ingram (WYC, 7.4, 7 saves)

Gornell converted his spot kick into the top right corner to give Cheltenham the lead. Morias tied it up thanks to McClure's tackle which put the ball into his path and all he had to do was speed away and finish into the corner.

Loans Expired
I learned after this game that both Nicky Walker's & Daniel Rowe's loans had expired. (And it said I had them for the season!

) Both were starters. I can probably manage without them, but let's hope for no injuries. Looks like Gary Doherty is making a comeback with the B Team although his 30 stamina is going to kill me....

Sky Bet FL2: Match 17
Wycombe 2-2 Accrington
Amadi-Holloway 24' McGahey 51'
Beattie 21' Windass 47'

Motm: Nathan Evans (WYC, 8.6)

Beattie headed in off the crossbar to give the visitors the lead. Amadi-Holloway however replied straight away for us powering into the bottom right corner. Accrington came out at halftime and played the ball around like Barcelona ending with Windass firing past Lynch with a first time effort. McGahey tied it up with a beauty of a header from Evans' corner. We needed to win these last two games.

J. Paint Trophy: Area Quarter Final
Crewe Alexandra 0-3 Wycombe
McClure 79' (Pen) 81' Lewis 89'

Motm: Paris Cowan-Hall (WYC, 8.2)

A 3 goal barrage in the final 11 minutes secured our passage into the next round. Cowan-Hall won the penalty which McClure converted before the Northern Irishman added a second after being fed through by Morias. Lewis came off the bench to smash in from close range after a defensive mix up led to them failing to clear a Cowan-Hall cross from the right.

Sky Bet FL2: Match 18
Exeter City 0-2 Wycombe
Amadi-Holloway 67' 80'

Motm: Aaron Amadi-Holloway (WYC, 8.5)

Another two goals from the Welshmen secured a 2-0 win for the Chairboys. He headed in a Jombati cross powerfully past Pym from 6 yards to open the scoring. He then pressured Tillson into giving the ball away to Lewis before running into the space onto Craig's ball through and finished past Pym for the second time.

Sky Bet FL2: Match 19
Wycombe 1-0 Portsmouth
Morias 84'

Motm: Junior Morias (WYC, 7.3)

Junior Morias' late strike gave us a deserving victory based on the balance of play. The goal came about when Cowan-Hall worked tirelessly to win the ball back. He passed it to McClure who quickly laid it off to Morias. The Jamaican rounded Chorley and fired across Jones.

Sky Bet FL2: Match 20
Cambridge United 3-3 Wycombe
Appiah 5' 70' Donaldson 64'
McClure 14' 67' Ingram 21' s/o Cowan-Hall 52'

Motm: Matt McClure (WYC, 9.1)

It was a 6 goal thriller but Cambridge only had 4 shots on target, 3 of which ended in goals. We dominated despite being down to 10 men for 70 minutes and ended the game with 14 shots and 11 on target. As you can see it was no contest. Appiah raced away early to score for Cambridge but McClure was alert to the rebound of Morias' stinging shot to level the game. Ingram then came charging out at the in rushing Dunk, who he completely took out earning a straight red. Morias had to make way for Lynch in goal. Cowan-Hall and Donaldson exchanged goals before McClure scored his 11th of the season to retake the lead. It was short lived however when Appiah grabbed his brace, timing his run to perfection. Dunn made two very important saves at the end which would have won the game for us, like we deserved.

Suspension
Matt Ingram has received a 1 match ban for his sending off against Cambridge United.

* New Addition

Jack Steer (England) - (GK, 57-67 Ovr, 86-94 Pot, 16): This 16 year old kid is in line to take over from Matt Ingram as first choice keeper at the end of the season. A truly exciting prospect.

*Joe Carson (Northern Ireland) - (UNK, 46-56 Ovr, 75-93 Pot, 16): He stands at 6'1" and possesses decent pace. His finishing also seems more than adequate and with one of his listed positions a ST, we hope he will settle there.

Lewis Lloyd (England) - (RB, 46-54 Ovr, 75-89 Pot, 16): The youth coaches are describing him as defensive minded and while he has chosen RB as his position he will more than likely be played at CB due to his stats.

December Fixtures
6/12 Doncaster (a) (FA Cup)
9/12 Preston (a) (J. Paint Trophy)
13/12 Dagenham (a)
20/12 Carlisle United (h)
23/12 Newport County (a)
27/12 Oxford United (a)
30/12 Tranmere Rovers (h)

Conclusion

We picked up 9 points this month, which isn't bad but we had hoped for more. We really should have beaten Accrington and Cambridge and if we want to move up the table we need to beat the likes of Cheltenham around us. But hey, an unbeaten month is an unbeaten month. There was a good win against Crewe in the J. Paint Trophy and also solid wins over Exeter and Portsmouth.

Next month we want to advance in both cups and pick up wins against Dagenham, Carlisle, Newport and Tranmere while a draw against Oxford will be good. Plymouth seem to be running away with the league so far. Maybe we can catch them?

Targeted Points: 13/15

Thanks for Reading!

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

So, I've made a tough decision. I have decided to stall - not get rid of - the RB Salzburg career. Which is because I want to start a new career - one with Arsenal. Really want to do this, and the RB Salzburg career will pick back up when either this career or the Rivals career ends. The Bournemouth career will likely carry on for much longer. Arsenal first update will be coming soon.

Kanunnikov 19'
Kanunnikov 50'
RED - Gazinskiy 65'
Carlos Eduardo (PEN) 87'
Ozdoev 89'

Rubin Kazan opened the 2014-15 Russian Football Premier League season in dominant fashion as The Tatars romped over visiting FC Krasnodar by a score of 4-0. Scoring was opened in the 19th minute when Magomed Ozdoev sent a through ball to Maxim Kanunnikov who blasted a shot from the top of the box by Krasnodar goalkeeper Andriy Dikan. Rubin almost doubled their lead four minutes later, but Marko Dević's header off of a corner hit the right post. The start of the 2nd half would see Kanunnikov get his brace as the 23-year-old Russian headed home a Gökdeniz Karadeniz delivery off of another corner. Krasnodar went down to 10 men in the 65th minute when Yuriy Gazinskiy picked up his second yellow card for a rash challenge. Rubin would add two late goals against the under-manned Krasnodar as the first came in the 87th minute from a Carlos Eduardo penalty. Just two minutes later, Ozdoev would head home another Karadeniz delivery as Rubin picked up an impressive victory against a respectable side.

Assanti 49'
Dević 56'
Georgiev 85'

In their second game of the season, Rubin Kazan would travel to the Akhmat Arena to face Terek Grozny. The 1st half between The Chechens and Tatars was relatively uneventful, with Terek goalkeeper Evgeniy Gorodov making two saves on Marko Dević and Carlos Eduardo, while Rubin goalkeeper Sergey Ryzhikov was not tested. Just after halftime however, Terek would go ahead as Ismet Assanti beat Ryzhikov with a shot into the right corner of the net. Rubin leveled very quickly in the 56th minute when Dević bested Gorodov high to make the score 1-1. The game looked headed for a draw, but late in the contest Carlos Eduardo dribbled through the Terek defense and found Blagoy Georgiev all alone at the top of the box. The Bulgarian midfielder received a pass and blasted a shot by Gorodov in the 85th minute to pull out a hard-earned victory for Rubin.

Sobolev 19'
Mogilevets 67'
Kanunnikov 82'

Against newly promoted side Mordovia Saransk, Rubin Kazan manager Rinat Bilyaletdinov would play his B-Team, but The Tatars still got the desired result. Scoring opened in the 19th minute when Kamil Mullin sent a volley onto goal that Mordovia goalkeeper Anton Kochenkov parried. The ball went straight to Vladimir Sobolev who tapped in the shot to put Rubin up 1-0. Mordovia should have equalized in the 37th minute, but a Rustem Mukhametshin volley missed a gaping net. Pavel Mogilevets would double Rubin's lead in the 67th minute before Magmoed Ozdoev hit the crossbar in the 72nd minute. Rubin would get a final goal in the 82nd minute from Maxim Kanunnikov who stole the ball off the foot of Kochenkov and potted a shot into the open net. Rubin reserve goalkeeper Alexandr Filtsov picked up a clean sheet with 3 saves.

Manager's Thoughts
What a great month to open the season. We did not play the best competition, but we outscored our opponents by a score of 9-1. Currently we only trail Lokomotiv Moskva who has outscored their opponents 10-0. We really dominated a good FC Krasnodar side, although they were not helped by picking up a red card. The game against Terek Grozny was tough, but we got a late winner that I felt was deserved. Our B-Team handled business against newly promoted Mordovia Saransk, so that was reassuring. We are also getting hefty contributions from our domestic players as 6 of our 9 goals came from Russians, including 3 from Maxim Kanunnikov who had a fantastic month. Hopefully, we can continue to ride this spell of good form.

New Starting XI
Before the season opener against FC Krasnodar, Rubin Kazan manager Rinat Bilyaletdinov shuffled his Starting XI. Magomed Ozdoev was moved from central attacking midfielder to central defensive midfielder and Carlos Eduardo was slotted in at CAM. Taras Burlak was also placed in a starting role at center back. Pavel Mogilevets and Solomon Kvirkvelia were moved to the bench.

International Duty
Rubin Kazan had one call up for international duty this month as Blagoy Georgiev was called to represent Bulgaria. The 32-year-old defensive midfielder first represented his country in 2004. Georgiev recently scored the game-winning goal in a 2-1 win over Terek Grozny. Rubin Kazan congratulates Blagoy on his achievement.

Injury Woes
Rubin Kazan was hit with two injuries this month. The first came to 21-year-old midfielder Alisher Dzhalilov who suffered a broken toe in a friendly match against AFC Wimbledon. The young Russian will miss 3 months as he recovers. Next, 27-year-old Belarusian midfielder Sergey Kislyak sprained his knee against Mordovia Saransk. Kislyak will be out 3 weeks.

Mogilevets' Loan Ends
Pavel Mogilevets' loan spell with Rubin Kazan has come to an end, and the 21-year-old Russian midfielder will return to Zenit St. Petersburg. Mogilevets featured in one match for Rubin, scoring a goal and earning Man of the Match against Mordovia Saransk. Rubin will try to secure Mogilevets on loan again from Zenit.

September 2014 Fixtures
9/13 - at Ufa
9/20 - vs Kuban
9/24 - Russian Cup: at Krasnodar
9/27 - at Arsenal

We still have yet to hit the tough portion of our schedule. FC Ufa and Arsenal Tula are both newly promoted sides, so I expect to take maximum points from both matches. We meet FC Krasnodar again in the Russian Cup Round of 16. After beating Krasnodar 4-0 in Kazan, I am confident we can advance to the quarterfinals and please the board's demands. Our game against 4th place Kuban Krasnodar will be our hardest test, but with the game in Kazan Arena, I think we get the job done.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Just got a call from my relocation consultant. He's in Moscow at my apartment, setting things up. The stuff I shipped over by cargo has arrived... all except two boxes. One of them contained a bunch of easily replaceable things like boots, coats and jumpers. The other unfortunately had stuff that's a bit more precious to me: some photo albums, a couple of signed football items, and my Xbox plus an entire collection of games! Insurance is compensating me well enough that I can afford to buy a new console and clothing, but nothing's going to bring back the stuff of sentimental value!
