Goals in the Euro League Group look on point though. Strange!

I know! I'm getting an awful lot of 0-0s etc. I was using the default sliders but have recently started using a set. Can't remember what in-game month I started using them though so the next update probably will still have default sliders.

Definitely strange alright, we are like a completely different team in Europe!

Newport County A.F.C.

'16-'17 End of the Season Update

League Match 41
Newport County - Fleetwood Town (1-1)
Southern 5'
Binnom-Williams 62'

Jerome Binnom-Williams saved the day for The Exiles with an astonishing run from the left side of the midfield to the center-top of the box, firing a missile to equalize the game at and save a point for the home team. Marccelino's squad seemed to lack focus and was outplayed by a team that isn't even in the fight for a playoff spot.

League Match 42
Barnet - Newport County (0-1)
Gardner 5' (pen)

Gary Gardner's score from the penalty strike 5 minutes in would be all The Exiles would need to win this game and as a result CLINCH THE LEAGUE TWO TITLE! This achievement was mostly a formality at this point as Newport was widely expected to claim the league title after having a dominant season. Players and coaches briefly celebrated on the field after the game and were in a joyful mood after the game. "It's been a very successful season for us and I'm really proud of the lads for getting it done," said Marccelino in his post-game presser. "Promotion and a league title plus an outstanding run in the COC are a great reward after the painful end to last season. Now we need to go out and finish this last four games with the intensity of champions and make sure we respect our opponents and our fans."

League Match 43
Carlisle Utd - Newport County (1-1)
Kennedy 34'
Byrne 65' (Arteaga)

Three goals in the last four games so we could say it now, Newport isn't playing with the same intensity after they clinched promotion. Winning the league title was just a matter of time but the last four games haven't provided great performance from a club that has by far been the best in the league all season and you have to wonder how effective Marccelino is being in convincing his players that they still need to play well in these last few games. With three more games left in the season we'll see if there is an improvement in The Exiles' play.

League Match 44
Newport County - Dagenham (2-1)
B. Moore 40'
McKay 79' (B. Moore)
Boucaud 90+'

"I thought we picked up our performance today," Marccelino declared after the game. "Thought we played a well-rounded game against a squad that's right in the mix for a playoff spot. Nowadays those are your most dangeours opponents. They created more opportunities but luckily we were able to keep possession even to create some chances of our own and be more effective at it."

On whether the regulars will start the final two games: "Next week is our home finale so I feel I owe it to the fans to play our best lineup, I'm leaning towards playing an alternative lineup for the season finale at Accrington but the players are on my ear about playing both games so we'll see".

League Match 45
Newport County - Crewe Alexandra (3-0)
Arteaga 39' (Byrne)
Arteaga 72' (Burke)
Twumasi 90' (Byrne)

Manuel Arteaga scored a brace to firmly put himself in the race for the golden boot and The Exiles wrapped up their final home game of the season with a convincing win over a bottom of the table opponent. Newport shot 11 times (8 on target) while Crewe was only able to get 4 shots off (2 on target). With Arteaga and McKay tied for second in the scoring race just one goal behind the leader it's highly likely Marccelino will play the starters in the final game of the season.

League Match 46
Accrington - Newport County (1-1)
Bruna 21'
McKay 53' (Arteaga)

Gardner 33' (sprained ankle, out 3 weeks)

Dall'Oglio 66' (Bruised shoulder, out 9 days)

If there was any doubt that Exiles' players play for the team first and for themselves second you must not do anything other than look at McKay's goal in this game, assisted by Arteaga who would had had a good chance to score on the play but choose to pass to McKay instead for a better scoring chance for the team. Unfortunately for Newport, Accrington was up to the task of defending their turf to avoid a scoring party by the visitors and McKay's score wasn't enough to earn him even a share of the scoring title.

Review: I don't have a whole lot to add other than I'm looking forward to next season already. It's almost as if barely missing out on promotion last season makes me feel like all my friends are a grade above me. Obviously this squad was way too good for League Two but I think we'll have a very good squad for League One as well and I expect to contend for promotion to the Championship. I've made peace with McKay/Arteaga missing out on the scoring title and/or player of the year because they were so good they cancelled each other out. Speaking of Arteaga, it's highly unlikely the Venezuelan will return to the club now that his two-year loan is over. Palermo have taken notice of his improvement as a player and extended his contract, multiplying his wages by five and upping his role to squad rotation. We'll have to figure out how to fill that void.

I do admit there was an odd feeling of joy when I realized Leyton Orient was relegated back to League Two, and that you could say we're taking over their spot in League One. There's certainly sort of a rivalry brewing there after they beat us in the playoff final last season and we'll see if they can achieve promotion again and meet with us at another level of the football league. The other three teams to achieve promotion from League Two last season remain in League One so it'll be fun to play them again. Unfortunately for Coventry City and Sheffield Utd their stay in the Championship was short lived but I have not doubts both those clubs as well as MK Dons will be top competition for us next season.

Because this post got long, the academy is getting the spoiler treatment.

Spoiler

- Nicolai Fernandes (LB, 65 OVR, 87-93 POT): After a wave of promotions the 15-year old from Denmark stands alone as the top prospect in our academy. That's quite a title for someone not even old enough to sign with the senior squad. He has made up for his lack of top-end speed by working on improving his game as a defender and he'll likely join the senior squad well before turning 17.
- Hikaru Ichigawa (CDM, 60 OVR, 77-91): Our top prospect from Japan recently turned 16 years old, growing four inches to 5'5" and adding nine pounds to his weight to push it up to 150. He possesses good physical skills and has been using those to improve his game as a defender (and if you bother to notice, his rating is already the same as our backup CDM Dall'Oglio).
- Gregorio Miranda (LB, 57 OVR, 78-92): 16-year old from Argentina is actually right-footed and may project as an option at RB. Speed-wise he's currently similar to Fernandes but not as advanced in his overall development.
- David Fox (RM, 58 OVR, 78-84): Still one of the youngest members in the academy is this 15-year old form Scotland standing at 5 feet tall and 125lbs. Crazy agile, our scouts are very please by his progress in the academy this season which may lead to promotion at some point next season.
- Juan Pablo (LW, 55 OVR, 71-89): A second Argentinian prospect is the 17-year old shorty (5'5", 136lbs) who makes up for his size with quickness and swiftness. His outstanding skills in short spaces could be a weapon of value for us.
- Tafari Hunt (CB, 54 OVR, 73-87): This 17-year old from the local talent pool has been improving his game at a good rate in his short time in the academy. Standing at 6'2" and 167lbs, he already possesses outstanding physical skills for his age so it'll be up to us to continue to develop his craft as a defender.
- Hayato Matsuki (GK, 55 OVR,71-85): The first goalkeeper to join the academy is this 16-year old from Japan currently standing at 5'11" and 178lbs. His potential may not be as high as we initially thought but he has been working hard in the academy, impressing coaches.
- Bondz Laslie (CB, 48 OVR, 73-93)*: Another 17-year old defender from England seems like a carbon copy of Hunt, and we hope he'll develop his game as quickly.
- Daniel Seager (CM, 52 OVR, 66-86)*: 16-year old Englishman still trying to figure out whether he wants to commit to being more of an offensive or defensive midfielder.

Magnus Dahle asked for and was granted promotion. Clark Gordon and Kjetil Ringdal Støvland were promoted in order to lock them up for the foreseeable future. Patrick Brennan and Marc Fox, on the other hand, decided to quit the academy without prior notice.

See y'all next season

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Sorry for the inactivity on my end. My company's division in Moscow is being shut due to a slip in revenue. Been busy helping the folks here find new jobs. On the bright side, being on the higher end of the corporate ladder means I get to move back home to the headquarters in Hampshire!

A lot has happened in season 2 of my Sunderland career. I'm all the way into January 2017, so please bear with me. I won't be posting match reports, instead going with a text-based update along with transfer news and other headlines.

I'm having a similar situation at Sunderland. I think it's just second season syndrome. I remember having this during my Brighton and Forest careers. At any rate, there are always teams whose goal tallies don't align with the rest of the league. Don't discount it as unrealistic unless the gameplay is very obviously in a rut.

EDIT: In other news, it looks like I might be able to play as Brighton in the PL on FIFA 17 if they keep winning games! What a lovely career that would be. BHA, finally with PL branding and numbering!

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Brentford FC Career Mode

Transfer in - Ben Chilwell on a short loan from Leicester. Just for cover because we have a lot of games. Bidwell is injured and Henry can't play Saturday and Tuesday.

Brentford 1-0 Charlton
Vibe 70'
This was a quiet game really. Nothing really happened until the second half when we started to pile the pressure on Charlton. Even the goal came out of nothing. Charlton had a throw in and Yennaris put pressure on their player, he played in Vibe and he just calmly put it past their keeper.

Brentford 2-0 Luton (Capitol One Cup)
Hogan 45'
Khul 70'
We knew this wasn't going to be a easy game. Luton came at us very well, but didn't trouble us at all. It took us 45 minutes to get our first goal. Ben Chilwell linked up nicely with Josh McEachran and he played in Hogan who made no mistake and smashed it passed the keeper. Luton came out the second half and pressed us well. We sat back a bit and we got a goal on the break. Luton had the ball, but Khul nicked it off them and ran from the halfway line passed a few orange shirts and he also smashed it pass the keeper. Truly wonder fall goal. We move onto the next round.

Djurican injured his shoulder and will be out for 5 days. Jake Bidwell is back in training, great news!

Transfer news - Brentford today have announced the signing of Dawid Kownacki from Lech Poznan for £600,000. Speaking of the signing Evans said he was 'delighted'. "He can play on both sides of the pitch and down the middle. I'm delighted with this signing".
We also signed George Green from Everton on loan.

Brighton 3-1 Brentford.
Soriano 9' Vibe 77'
Zamora 45'
Sidwell 54'
This game was one to remember very quickly. We stared badly and never recovered. It all started at the back when our keeper threw the ball out. It fell to our player and his touch was terrible. Brighton played the ball into Soriano and it was 1-0. We tried to get forward, Vibe should have levelled but put his shot wide. It got worse for us. Brighton had a corner, the keeper came out, completely missed it and Zamora had a tap in. We just couldn't hold Brighton out. They started to pass it around well and they found Sidwell on the edge of the box who found the bottom corner in style. 3-0 and game over. We did pull one back. Judge got played through, their keeper just palmed it to Vibe who had a tap in. It didn't make a difference and the game finished 3-1.

Player of the month award
It goes to... Lasse Vibe!

There is no other option for me. He has 4 goals in the opening month and has been our stand out player.

Thoughts: It has certinaly been a better second part to the month instead of the first. We picked up back to back wins and done some good business. I'm looking forward to bringing this career mode to you guys! Thank you.

Hope that everyone can get a new job, but the bright side is that you get to move back home! Looking forward to that update and seeing how you've done.

Yeah, 3rd season syndrome for me. Just unable to score. I switched to an OS Community set and that got me scoring but I still kept a lot of clean sheets and only lost in Europe. Gonna try yours and see if that balances it out. Not sure when that will be though because I'm really getting into Football Manager so FIFA has taken a back seat.

The mighty Brighton finally in The Prem. Only a matter of time.

In the overhaul of Exeter City, it has been rumoured that they are setting their sights on St. James’ Park to either expand or relocate to another stadium.

Our first game of the season was quite poor. Our new signing, Renze Koppers had a poor game for us up front and right midfielder Harry East also didn’t impress much. Torres did alright and picked out a few excellent passes but a touch of brilliance by Compton was the only reason why we got three points in this match.

Tariqe McBurnie got a start on the left wing and was definitely our best player throughout the game. He was a nuisance for Chelsea whenever they went forward and the Englishman always managed to pick out a pass forward to Cristiano Ronaldo who threatened all match. In the end, both teams cancelled each other out.

We performed a little better in this game whilst two of our new signings contributed to the scoreline. Morata left the 5’5” Compton in the area to win a header against three Manchester United players but to give the Englishman credit; he managed to head the ball out to the edge of the area to Morata who then laid the ball off to Saúl who finished with a sweetly hit shot along the ground. The second was a sublime shot from the corner of the box and off the crossbar by Torres to finish off the match.

Four minutes into the game and Compton pulls of a contender for Exeter’s goal of the season already. Morata passed the ball to Compton who takes one touch to cut inside past the defender and perfectly curls the ball around the keeper from far outside the box. His second was pure class (kinda looked like Aleksandar Kolarov’s latest goal for Man City). The other goals included a one-on-one for Compton’s hat-trick, a Ward-Prowse free-kick and a Johannes Geis volley. A long range George Saville strike prevented In Hyung Lee continuing his 100% clean sheet record.

Some nice football was played in this match in order for us to win the first match of our group with Compton getting a lucky deflection off his header to put us into the lead and with half an hour to go, a sublime Renze Koppers cross was turned onto the head of Cristiano Ronaldo for our second goal. Spartak Moskva clawed one back in the final ten minutes but substitute Oxlade Chamberlain received the ball from a Saiz Alonso tackle on the edge of the box to place the ball into the bottom right corner for the guaranteed three points in our group.

If you ask me what happened up to 80 minutes I’d probably scratch my head blankly for a while. Up until the last ten minutes this match was a forgettable one. On the 81st minute, the deadlock was broken due to the individual magic of Conor Compton who claimed the ball deep in the opposition half before squeezing his shot between three defenders and into the bottom corner. We finished the game off after new signing Harry East delivered a low ball into the box for Une Larsson who used his run from deep to generate masses of power to aid the ball past the keeper at his near post. Bristol clawed one back through Marley Bishop after getting on the end of his own rebound but it was too late for Bristol to get back another.

A visit to St James’ Park and TheYanks saw another world class performance by Shkodran Une Larsson who ran the show as a centre forward behind Morata. Just after the 20 minute mark, Morata gets his head onto a Une Larsson cross for his first goal since coming to the club. A Une Larsson corner to the near post allowed Lucas Magallán to rise above his marker to confirm the three points for us today. TheYanks did field the Premier League’s top goalscorer Paulo Dybala but the striker had an awful game and ended up being substituted with around a quarter of an hour left without having a single shot.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Newport County A.F.C.

2016-2017 Roster Review

It's always fun to do these after having the type of successful season we had in '16-'17. It took us a little bit to get going at the start of the season but midway through the first half of the season we were already in first place and at the midway point we were locked into a clear-cut battle against Plymouth Argyle, running away with the race early in the second half of the season. A lot of good performances were needed in order to achieve the success we had this year.

Starting XI

GK - Emiliano Martinez (68 OVR) - 57 appearances, 22 clean sheets: The acquisition of the 24-year old Argentinian from Arsenal this past summer wasn't necessarily popular with a fan base that had been quite pleased by Joe Day's performance last season but Martinez proved his worth, racking up seven more sheets than Day had last season with just one more appearance. Furthermore, his average game rating did not finish lower than 7.00 in any of the four competitions (League 2, COC, JTP, F.A.) which is actually quite impressive, and makes it no surprise he was voted into the league's Starting XI. 9/10

RB - Mehmet Zeki Çelik (65 OVR) - 17 apps: The 20-year old from Turkey was acquired in the winter transfer window due to his potential and quickly got an opportunity to start at RB after an injury to Seth Nana Twumasi. Çelik performed well enough to keep coaches intrigued about his development as a starter but didn't necessarily impress on either end of the pitch. Regardless, he's likely to go into next season penciled-in as the starter at this position. 7/10

RCB - Juan Komar (69 OVR) - 53 apps: The 20-year old from Argentina acquired from Boca Juniors this past summer had a very good first season. It's often said that the less you hear a defender's name, the better he's performing, and Komar went largely unmentioned this season, quietly leading The Exiles' back four to help Martinez achieve his 22 clean sheets. He'll hope to build on this season performance to continue to improve his game next season. 7.5/10

LCB - Taylor Moore (66 OVR) - 35 apps, 3 goals, 2 assists: The 20-year old from England started the season as our 3rd CB but ended up taking over as a starter for Matt Taylor (retiring) as the season got close to its midway point. A couple of scores with headers sealed his worth to the starting lineup, and his contributions on offense were an important attribute because he isn't quite the defender Komar is. 7/10

LB - Jerome Binnom-Williams (70 OVR) - 51 apps, 1 goal, 10 assists: The 22-year old from England made The Exiles look like thieves after acquiring him in the summer for €700 from Crystal Palace. He was OUTSTANDING on both sides of the pitch, quietly being a force on defense while constantly being involved on offense as reflected by his 10 assists in all competitions (his 8 assists in league play were tied for 3rd most). He edges Komar for best player in the back-line and it'll be interesting to see if he can have improve even more next season. 8/10

CDM - Gary Gardner (73 OVR) - 53 apps, 10 goals, 8 assists: Last season's league and team MVP did not find it difficult to have a repeat performance, once again scoring 10 goals as he continued to be surgical from the penalty strike. The 24-year old and team captain from England also continues to be a stopper in his central defensive midfield position and the expectation is that he'll once again have a repeat performance next season in League One. 9/10

RM - Oliver Burke (68 OVR) - 50 apps, 5 goals, 9 assists: The Exiles say good bye to the 20-year old speedster from Scotland as his two-year loan from Nottingham Forest comes to an end. Newport couldn't have asked for much more from Burke, who took a big step forward this season after mostly meeting expectations last season. He improved his assists and scored five times this season after failing to score at all last season, getting more comfortable breaking into the box from the wing. Nevertheless, the emergence of wingers from the academy means the end of Burke's deal will provide opportunities for home-grown talent. 8/10

LM - Jack Giles (67 OVR) - 44 apps, 8 goals, 6 assists: It was an eventful first full season for the 19-year old academy-graduate from England, establishing himself as a useful contributor off the bench early in the season which made the club comfortable to agree to a sell of former team captain Medy Elito to slide Giles into the starting lineup. Unfortunately a couple of injuries made him end the season on a bad note but that shouldn't keep him from the starting lineup next season. 7.5/10

Mark Byrne (66 OVR) - 53 apps, 16 goals, 10 assists: The 28-year old from Ireland was hands down the most improved player for The Exiles this season, by all means having a career year. The club possesses two excellent prospects at this position in Clark Gordon and Konsta Salo yet Byrne made sure his performances left no doubt he was the man at CAM for the club this season. Not quite team MVP, but he put himself firmly in the discussion which was very impressive in and of itself. 9/10

RS - Manuel Arteaga (70 OVR) - 48 apps, 25 goals, 12 assists: The 23-yead old from Venezuela on loan from Palermo was named team co-MVP. Newport fans were quite irate that Arteaga was edged by Swindon Town's Ojamaa for Player of the Year. He followed last season's league-best 21 goals with 20 this season and more than doubled his assists. As mentioned in the last update, his improvement as a player means Palermo has committed to making him a bigger part of their club moving forward so it's very highly unlikely Arteaga will be returning to the club. He'll leave a big void to fill and it'll be interesting to see who will carry that responsibility next season. 10/10

LS - Jack McKay (68 OVR)- 49 apps, 21 goals, 13 assists: " (...) he shows great chemistry with the Venezuelan and it'll be fun to watch them possibly battle for the scoring title next season." That's a quote from McKay's review at the end of last season. The 20-year old from England proved that his performance in the second half of last season (after he was acquired in the winter transfer window) was no fluke, battling all season for the league's scoring title and helping The Exiles achieve great success in the process. Overall he scored a bit less than Arteaga but spread out his assists over different competitions and it was only fair that he was voted co-MVP. No doubt he'll miss his partner in crime so it'll be interesting to see how he adjusts next season to a new scoring partner. 10/10

Bench

RB - Danny Holmes (65 OVR) - 51 apps, 4 assists: The 28-year old from England was a good soldier for us, accepting his demotion from the starting lineup while continuing to be a regular contributor off the bench and with the B-squad. Nevertheless, he was transer-listed all season and it's likely he'll made available again next season as the club looks to replace him with someone with higher upside. 6.5/10

RB - Seth Nana Twumasi (64 OVR) - 49 apps, 2 goals, 3 assists: The 27-year old from England lost his starting gig into the second half of the season but didn't let that keep him from being an important piece to the puzzle. He's versatile enough to play RB/LB and offers good pace. 7/10

CB - Matt Tyalor (62 OVR) - 34 apps: The 35-year old's final season faded him slowly into the background, going from team captain at the season's beginning to a sporadic contributor at season's end. The former goalkeeper wraps up his career with no regrets and received a going away party from the team. 6.5/10

CDM - Cristiano Dall'Oglio (60 OVR) - 18 apps, 2 assists: The 17-year old from Italy saw his hard work in the youth academy pay off with a promotion midway through the season as someone who could spell Gardner from time to time. He's described as someone "showing great potential". Dall'Oglio is locked into this role as the moment which should allow him to continue to improve as a player without much pressure. When he was called upon to play larger minutes with the B-squad he was always up to the task. 7/10

LW - Bondz Moore (66 OVR) - 16 apps, 2 goals, 3 assists: The 17-year old from England who is "showing great potential" was promoted from the youth squad in the winter after Elito's sale and performed well when called upon. Furthermore, when Giles went down with injury he stepped into the starting lineup and was not overwhelmed. As a result, he's penciled into the starting lineup for next season at LM so it'll be interesting to see whether he can continue to exhibit such maturity at such young age. Then again, he did earn a silly red card near the end of the season but that isn't enough to shade his overall performance. 7/10

CAM - Konsta Salo (69 OVR) - 15 apps, 1 goal: The 17-year old crown jewel of Finland is described as "an exciting prospect". He earned promotion from the academy midway through the season after Elito's sale meant Giles could no longer perform in a backup CAM role. Salo did not ever seem overwhelmed by being a pro at such a young age and his immense talen is only handicapped by very poor stamina. Regardless, he stands to be a key player for the club in the immediate future and fans are very excited about getting a full season from him. 7/10

ST - Aaron Collins (60 OVR) - 11 apps, 4 goals: The club's plan going into the season was for Collins and Patrick Miller to be listed for loan and keep whoever didn't get an offer first. That turned into an opportunity for the 20-year old from Wales who brushed aside a poor first half of the season to score four goals after the winter transfer window, including a brace at Bristol Rovers. He's not a candidate to replace Arteaga next season but would continue to have value to the club in the same role he had this season. 7/10

ST - Marcus Thuram (65 OVR) - 5 apps, 2 goals, 1 assists: Someone who played so few times for us in a season usually doesn't warrant a mention in our reviews but the 19-year old from France is an exemption since he goes into next season as the top candidate inside the club to replace Arteaga. Thuram, the son of the most capped player in the history of the France national team, mostly played with the B-squad after arriving in the winter for €500K from FC Sochaux-Montbéliard and as a result the club doesn't have a great evaluation of him going into next season. Nevertheless, 2 goals, and assist, and a 6.80 rating in five games doesn't present any red flags, so he at least has that much going for him. 7/10

Other notes: with Clark Gordon (66 OVR) recently promoted from the academy it'll be interesting to see what happens with the logjam at CAM (Byrne/Salo/Gordon). Ben Potter, who was promoted in early April, should also have a regular role as a backup to to B.Moore/Giles. There's no question that the club's ability to provide talent through the academy is going to continue be a big factor going forward as the club's transfer/wage budget continues to be limited.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Cabee: Solid team you have got now Bee! Ronaldo on the bench is a serious sub to bring on, what's his physical like now? Hard to believe Compton is only 73 and a right back the way he plays for you. Good start to the league and that academy is developing nicely.

Morgan: Better end to the month and Vibe is in great form for you. To get out of the Championship you need a goalscorer and it looks like you have one on your hands. Any chance of a table when you update next?

Rabbit: You absolutely smashed the league! Ran away with in the end and you had consistent performers all over the pitch. Great to see youngsters coming through and cementing places in the team. Arteaga and Mckay were machines, shame Arteaga is gone next season though.

Really shocked to see you sacked by Dorados. Especially after you have transformed them to title contenders. Turkey should be fun though. Will you be bringing any youth players with you? (Alonso...)

Hedges: Solid signings in Lukaku and Gauld and possibly Carvalho. Should really push you on and allow you to retain the title and kick on in the Champions League.

Yanks: Two results grinded out which unfortunately didn't get you the Champions League but I think the Europa League is more beneficial for you at the minute than having to compete with the elite clubs.

Simp: Solid results, especially beating Real over two legs in the cup and smashing Eibar 5-1. The title isn't two far off but 4th is still a very good position to be in.

I apologise if I missed anyone as I just skimmed quickly through.

really cool intro, well done. I look forward to this CM from you, shame that you lost your AV file. I'll be massively disappointed if you don't build around Barkley. Leandro Rodriguez is someone I was looking to acquire in the first season at Newport but at this point he doesn't offer the potential that would make him worth getting. You'll be needing a GK soon since Howard will be done soon, maybe Matthew Ryan? If not, Marco Sportiello at Atalanta would be my other target.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

10, did I miss where you talk about the transfer window? You have a very solid squad. I was going to say you could stand to find a better RB till I realized you play a 3-line. It amazes me Ronaldo isn't a starter for you even if he's old at this point. Nice job going undefeated in the first couple of months. Most of the players in your academy have top potential so props for that

MM5, I can see you're still looking for your comfort zone in your updates, you'll be fine. I'm a big fan of your Lewis Cook acquisition (spoiler: you'll see that name in my next Newport update), he should be a nice player for you. My only request was going to be the standings but you took care of that later.

Keano, it's hard to see you battling for points in the BPL but at least you're having a good run in Europe after not doing so well there last season. I hope you can get the 3 points against Watford because facing both Manchester squads will be a real challenge, especially Man U after just 3 days of rest. Then again, if you can beat Salzburg maybe you can give the B-squad a run against Utrecht???

JHedges, I approve of the Lukaku signing but I might have found use for Mertesacker. 83 OVR CB's aren't easy to find (even if he's a bit overrated). Will you be putting Gauld for loan? Great potential but I wonder if he'll even see the pitch for you right now. I'm a big Wanyama fan BTW, go get him lol.

SMH, n=unfair signing of Success at Mallorca, you're setting up to make noise in La Liga as soon as you arrive. Congrats on a very good season in Rusial with Ural and I look forward to seeing you manage league play + Europe next season.

Simp, glad to see you stick with Bilbao. Great run in the Copa del Rey and a very favorable matchup against Granada coming up. I wonder how you're going to come out of that packed February

and good luck with Bulgaria as you prep for the Euros!

Yanks, way to close out the season and get that spot in Europe for next season! Looks like Krul had a hell of a season for you, I know I hate playing against him. I wonder what kind of year my boy Rondon must have had at West Brom to get a spot in the team of the season, looks like WBA was just a mid-table team.

Yeah I hated to get rid of such a highly rated player in Mertesacker, but with Gabriel in RCB, and I'm grooming Chambers (RB and/or CB), Boscagli, and Tah (super excited about him), I wasn't sure how much PT he would get.

Also, re: Gauld--and to tie into the CB plan, I was/am trying to dump Santi Cazorla, and use that $ to help go after possibly Varane, Hummels, or Stones--leaving Gauld as my #2 CAM behind Ozil.

Athletico offered me £50M for Ramsey lol, but I like him too much and don't want to completely transform the Arsenal I watch on TV...yet, anyway

Yea the more the CM went on the more convinced I was I wanted to find a way to keep Arteaga long term but once Palermo decided to make a bigger commitment to him we just had no shot with our limited budget. There might be a chance to reconnect down the line if he'd be willing to rotate at the position since his potential isn't really that high and he's close to his ceiling.

I was shocked to be sacked by Dorados too but I'm over it by now. You read my mind on Alonso and you'll find out more about that in my next update :wink:

The struggle is real, we do turn it around eventually thank god and start moving up the table which is pleasing. I can't remember if I did play the second team against Utrecht as it was so long ago but I'm sure I did rotate with a big game coming up against United.
