Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Super Sub | Super Sánchez

Previously Injured Alexis Sánchez Came On To Score The Winner

EMIRATES STADIUM -- A late Sunday afternoon Opening Weekend fixture from The Emirates, between giants Arsenal and Liverpool did not disappoint. <b>Daniel Sturridge</b> opened the scoring just 5 minutes into the contest as he ripped through the Arsenal defense. A resilient <b>Theo Walcott</b> earned the Gunners a free kick from just outside the box a mere 3 minutes later, in which <b>Mesut Özil</b> would curl into the top right corner to put the score at 1-1 just 8 minutes into the season.<p>

Liverpool's summer signing of <b>Sadio Mané</b> proved profitable early in his Reds career, as he beat <b>Petr Čech</b> as well to give the lead back at 2-1 in the 34'. However, again, a resiliant Arsenal--which is something that has been lacking in years past under former boss Arsene Wenger, would find an equalizer from a <b>Theo Walcott</b> pass into an overlaping <b>Héctor Bellerín</b>, notting the game at 2-2 just before the break.<p>

Arsenal brought on <b>Alexis Sánchez</b> at the hour mark--and it would take him just 17' before a <b>Bellerín</b> cross found the pacey winger turned striker, as he smashed it home past <b>Karius</b>--giving the Gunners a 3-2 lead, that they would not relenquish. <b>Sánchez</b>, who had been cleared by team physios to play was not selected by Hedges in the starting XI for precautionary mesasures, but did advise prematch that the Chilean superstar may see the pitch if need be.<p>

Arsenal head to Leicester next Saturday for the Foxes' home opener at the King Power Stadium.<p>

Transfer News

Bondz Lapslie (CB, 71 OVR) returned from short-term loan at Dagenham. He's now considered a prospect showing great potential.
Gary Woods (CM, 71 OVR) returned from short-term loan at Blackburn Rovers. Woods is no longer considered a prospect showing great potential and would be an option at CAM in the diamond midfield. With plenty of competition for this position on the roster, Woods is being listed for transfer by the club.
Daniel Seager (CM, 70 OVR) returned from short-term loan at Exeter City. Seager is showing great potential and is a fit at CDM in the diamond midfield which currently makes him the 5th option in the pecking order. He'll be re-listed for short-loan.

F.A. Cup - 3rd Round
Newport County - Reading (1-1)
Joselu 15'
Giles 90+2' (Potter)

Jack Giles scored on a shot from just outside the box off a corner kick from Ben Potter in the second minute of extra time to give The Exiles' B-squad an agonizing draw at Rodney Parade. In fairness to the lineup that's mostly made of the club's academy-graduates they actually battled throughout the game and played the visitors from the Championship evenly, they just weren't able to reflect it on the scoreboard until what was practically the last play of the game.

League Match 21
Newport County - Watford (3-1)
Ringdal Støvland 38'
Pogba 45+1' (Guerreiro)
Pogba 61' (Gersbeck)
Oulare 68'

Ringdal Støvland 41' (sprained ankle, out 3 weeks)

Kjetil Ringdal Støvland snapped out of his scoring drought then proceeded to be subbed out due to injury but The Exiles were able to build on the lead he provided to get back on the winning track. Nicolas Gersbeck, who provided an assist of the bench in place of RS, will get to start while the youngster recovers from his injury.

League Match 22
Newport County - Chelsea (1-1)
William 49'
Gordon 68' (Gersbeck)

William scored on a controversial play early in the second half and Clark Gordon equalized things midway through the same half as The Exiles and The Blues played out a 1-1 draw. Marccelino became irate following William's goal, arguing that Loïc Rémy was offsides on the play and in the vicinity of the ball's trajectory as William caught up to it. Replays confirmed this but the referees had no comment on the issue after the game. Tottenham, which unseated Newport County as league leaders last month, had beaten Chelsea the previous week and benefited even more from this controversial result.

F.A. Cup - 3rd Round replay
Reading - Newport County (1-4)
Leya Iseka 2' (Allen)
Moore 9' (Leya Iseka)
Joselu 26'
Potter 61' (Leya Iseka)
Allen 84' (Leya Iseka)

Aaron Leya Iseka scored just two minutes into the game and then proceeded to assist his teammates three times to lead The Exiles B-squad to a comfortable victory against Reading in their second try against the Championship side. The hosts actually controlled possession (55%) while taking 10 shots (6 on goal) but were unable to be as effective as the visitors with their chances as Newport County was able to establish the difference on the same amount of shots on target.

League Match 23
Hull City - Newport County (0-2)
Gersbeck 7' (Guerreiro)
Gersbeck 39' (Pogba)

Gersbeck stepped up in RS' absence to lead The Exiles to another victory as they look to keep up with The Spurs who can't stop losing. Hull City had former Exiles' GK Bill Hamid on the bench as they continue to ride the hot hand of Roberto Jiménez Gago, who was their best player in spite of the loss.

Newport County - West Brom (2-2)
Augusto 45+'1
Farfán 72' (Ambrose)
Castillo 77'
Vlaar 90+3' (Guerreiro)

The Exiles lived to fight another day with yet another F.A. Cup last minute goal. Marccelino's squad had spent just enough part of the game outplaying the visiting Baggies but Nico Castillo's goal in the 77th minute looked like it would hand Newport County an early exit from the competition. To their credit The Exiles didn't stop fighting till the very end and in the third minute of stoppage time Ron Vlaar beat everyone to the ball at its highest point to head in the equalizer and give his side another chance to move on to the next round.

Gregorio Miranda (LB, 73 OVR) sold to Arsenal for €7 million.
Breel Donald Embolo (ST, 82 OVR) acquired from FC Basel for €12 million + Thierry Ambrose (ST, 80 OVR).

League Match 24
Newport County - Arsenal (0-0)

The Exiles and The Gunners played out an entertaining yet scoreless draw at Rodney Parade. Arsenal was unable to take advantage of a first half in which they were clearly the superior team. Newport County must have received a strong pep talk from Marccelino at the half because they turned the tables on the visitors and played a dominant second half but they also came up just short in the scoring department despite 9 shots (5 on target).

Analysis: The Exiles started the second half of the season on a strong note, wrapping up another undefeated month to extend the undefeated streak that started in the beginning of December. However, their form hasn't been good enough to keep up with Tottenham which won every league game they played in January to increase their lead at the top of the table to six points. Newport County remains entrenched in second place but they can't afford to fall behind much more in this race if they want to remain in contention for a league title by the time they face off against the Spurs towards the end of the season. In the F.A. Cup the coach doubled down on his choice to have his B-squad face Reading and was rewarded with a solid victory on the replay of the 3rd round after barely surviving in the first game. Marccelino's main squad will have to repeat that feat on the replay at The Hawthorns after staying alive with Vlaar's last minute goal.

The winter transfer window played out about as expected for The Exiles as there wasn't much anticipation that the club would be heavily active despite having a solid budget. The surprise move, of course, was the club's acquisition of Embolo and by the same transaction the departure of Ambrose. Ambrose had been a prolific scorer for the club (75 goals in 112 appearances over his first 2 1/2 seasons) before going into a real funk this half season in which he was only able to muster 3 goals while starting in the vast majority of the club's games. He wasn't going to agree to just any move but seemed pleased to go play for the Swiss champs. Embolo brings a lot of the same traits Ambrose had and is overall a better striker at this point in time. Nevertheless, he arrives with mounting pressure to aid in the scoring department right away so it'll remain to be seen how he deals with that. The Exiles also shored up their roster with the return of three academy graduates from different loans, with Lapslie being the most likely to immediately contribute as he's expected to step into a starting role with the B-squad. The only other surprise move was Miranda's sale which reportedly was a result of Arsenal willing to pay nearly double his value and Newport County placing a lot of trust in another academy graduate, Johan Sheriff, to fill that void (Miranda was played at RB due to being right-footed).

The Academy
(listed by their ranking in it)

LW - Marcos Andrade (66 OVR, 89-94 POT): 16-year old GEM from Portugal, a physically-gifted player with a balanced game who is entrenched as the top prospect in the academy and one of the best overall prospects on the roster.

CDM - Pierre Tägtström (54 OVR, 83-89): Now a 16-year old from Sweden who is next in a great lineup of defensive midfielders developed by the club since Marccelino's arrival. Described as physically strong, Tägtström's exciting potential is undeniable and he displays excellent aggressiveness (84) towards the ball. At his age and with the club's depth at the position he should be able to spend time developing in the academy without any rush.

LW - Andre Domingues (53 OVR, 77-83): 15-year old from Portugal who is raw but exhibits great potential. His top attribute at this time is his pace (75acc/69spd).

CF - Jordan Davies (56 OVR, 73-79): This local prospect recently turned 17 years old as he nears a two-year service in the academy. Described as physically strong, Davies checks in at 6'0", 169lbs and thoug he may not be more than a backup in the future he flashes a natural ability to play in the air (81 jumping) and fight for the ball (77 aggression) to go with very good stamina (76) and pace (75acc/75spd).
* Recent addition

February Schedule
2/3: at West Brom (F.A. Cup)
2/7: at Newcastle Utd
2/10: vs Leicester City
2/18: at Lech Poznań (Euro League)
2/21: at Everton
2/25: vs Lech Poznań (Euro League)

It's time for The Exiles' to clamp down as they head into the nitty-gritty part of the season. They're not doing themselves any favors in the schedule with the F.A. Cup replays and the road game against West Brom will be an early test before difficult games against top-10 contending teams Newcastle and Leicester. Newport County will hope to fare well in those games before a tricky match-up at Goodison Park is sandwiched by the a couple of UEL Round of 32 games against Lech Poznań

Can Marccelino and his squad prove they have what it takes to be a real contender in multiple top competitions? Stay tuned

Ebecilio (79)

Nangis (81) --------------- González (79)

______________________________________

KNVB Cup - Quarter Final
SC Heerenveen - FC Twente (0-3)
Živković 4' (Veldwijk)
Ebecilio 32'
Živković 83' (González)

López 45+1' (bruised elbow, out 8 days)

Richairo Živković opened up the scoring early and sealed the deal late and a goal from Kyle Ebecilio in-between gave us a comfortable win on what, on paper, seemed like it would be a difficult match-up. After all Heerenveen have put together an impressive season in which they would be contending for the league title if we weren't having such a dominant season. We avoided tragedy with López' injury as it turned out to be a minor issue, although annoying enough to keep him out of our next game against a tough opponent.

League Match 22
FC Twente - PSV (1-1)
Veldwijk 57' (Sneijder)
Martins 71'

Andersen 70' (bruised elbow, out 5 days)

There was no controversy this time around but PSV once again managed to hold us to a draw as they continue to fight for a spot into the Champions League next season. We really should had scored more than just once with 10 shots, 8 on target.

League Match 23
Roda JC - FC Twente (3-3)
Paulissen 5'
Sneijder 24' (Ebecilio)
Veldwijk 43' (Ebecilio)
Sotirio 55'
Smeets 70'
Živković 79' (Karlsson)

Roda, the only team to beat us this season (back in week 2 against our B-squad), proved to be a pest for us yet again and nearly pulled off the upset if it wasn't for Živković showcasing his skills to break through their defense. I have no reasonable explanation as to why we have had such a difficult time with that club this season, but I'm certainly happy I won't see them again until next season.

League Match 24
FC Twente - Heracles Almelo (3-1)
Živković 13' (Veldwijk)
Veldwijk 20' (Sneijder)
Bel Hassani 86'
Da Cruz 90+2' (Ebecilio)

With this win I'm now 4-0 in Twentse Derbies since my arrival to the club, although for the first time in those four meetings Heracles actually scored. If you're noticing, Živković seems very comfortable within our offense right away which is a most welcomed sign!

League Match 25
FC Utrecht - FC Twente (2-2)
Valdivia 51'
Jurić 69'
Živković 72' (Diks)
Veldwijk 86' (Nangis)

Utrecht gave us a very strong effort in the first half and an even stronger one in the second half to get a two-goal lead with 20 minutes to go, but luckily for us Živković quickly responded to their second goal and our top goal scorer came through in the clutch to help us salvage a point on the road and maintain our undefeated streak in the Eredivisie.

Champions League - Round of 16, 1st Leg
Napoli - FC Twente (2-3)
Hysaj 13' (OG)
Allan 21'
Sneijder 26' (González)
Higuaín 43'
González 55' (Sneijder)

Wesley Sneijder once again was the catalyst for a massive result in our favor as he scored once and assisted on Derlis González's game-winning goal to help us take an edge with us to the second leg of this match-up next month. Having a lead is always ideal but scoring three away goals was also a big feat for us and Sneijder played a big part in that.

Sneider scoring his CL-leading 8th goal.

League Match 26
FC Twente - FC Groningen (4-0)
Sneijder 11' (pen)
Sneijder 40' (pen)
Sneijder 56'
González 67' (Ebecilio)

Gomez 90'

Živković 76' (hyper extended knee, out 3 weeks)

I've finally beaten Groningen and it felt awesome! Sneijder, of course, once again was in the center of it all, putting a bow on his hat-trick with this exquisite free kick:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GRO62ZjAjxU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

The defense also did its part by pitching a shoutout, keeping Nico Castillo (who's been a pest against us) quiet.

Review: Winning just two out of five league games wasn't an ideal outcome but I find a silver lining in avoiding L's in a couple of close calls, which when combined with our strong win in the Oranje Beker and the result we got in the first leg of the Round of 16 in the CL I think add up to a strong month for us. Yes our lead in the Eredivisie shrunk by a couple of points but we still own a solid 8-point lead with just 8 games left to play. So long as we can avoid a serious letdown in our form in the league I think we'll be fine and obtain the title.

Individually I was very pleased with how quickly Živković has been able to adapt to our club as his 5 goals in 7 games this month clearly show. It's a shame he'll be shelved about 3 weeks with that knee injury and I hope the time off won't cause him to lose his rhythm. I'm also undeniably infatuated with Sneijder and can't believe he's set to retire. He makes us so much better and I'm already stressing about how we can replicate this kind of success next season without him. He's just a legend, an adjective any less valuable would be inappropriate.

The Academy
(listed by their ranking in it)

LW - Roy Verrips (61 OVR, 82-88): 17-year old attacking winger from the Netherlands flashing pace (78acc/77spd) and agility (78). He checks in at 5'11" and 158lbs and is the top prospect in the academy. However, he could benefit from a stay in the academy until the summer.

CM - Vasco Granero (56 OVR, 81-87): Now an 18-year old from Venezuela described as a playmaker who has more potential than we initially thought. He possesses good agility (79) and has shown enough progress in the academy that he's likely to be promoted to the senior roster now that he's an adult.

CM - Miguel Varela (51 OVR, 81-87): Now an 18-year old from Venezuela described as defensive minded. Despite his age he's still a very raw prospect, although his stamina (74) and agility (74) are noticeable. However, in our scouts' opinions his promise is undeniable, including his 6'2", 169lbs frame.

LB - Odisseas Ludwig (62 OVR, 80-86): 16-year old from Germany described as physically strong who possesses great potential according to the final assessment from our youth scouts. The jumping (79), strength (79), aggression (78), and pace (75spd/74acc) are noticeable and well advanced for his age so our youth scouts are working on developing his defensive game.

RW - Mauro Pröpper (60 OVR, 80-86): 16-year old from the Netherlands who is displaying very good agility (76) at a very young age to go with promising pace (73acc/67spd). Already labeled by our scouts as someone showing great potential.

RW - Rick El Makrini (59 OVR, 80-86): 16-year old from the Netherlands with notable pace (79spd/74acc) and balance (75) who shows a lot of promise early on.

CB - Agustin Benitez (59 OVR, 80-86): 15-year old from Venezuela showing a lot of promise. Described as physically strong, Benitez displays excellent aggression (79) and jumping (72) for his age.

GK - Olivier Ofori (60 OVR, 79-85): Our top goalkeeper prospect recently turned 17 years and the Belgian now stands at 6'5" and 165lbs, excellent for his position. He has been progressing well and steadily in the academy and if he can remain there for the rest of the season he could become our third GK as soon as next season.

CB - Rico Kehrer (65 OVR, 78-84): This German prospect, part of a pipeline of centre backs from that country in our academy/roster, recently turned 17 years old and check is at 6'0" and 167lbs. Considered physically strong, Kehrer is an aggressive (90) defender who has developed well in the academy and will likely be promoted to the senior squad somewhere between now and the summer.

RM - Jens Schuermans (62 OVR, 76-82): 16-year old from Belgium described as a playmaker. He's only 4'11" and 123lbs at the moment but he's crazy agile (76) for someone his age. He flashes some nice potential.

CF - Gustavo Jimenez (48 OVR, 76-82): 17-year old from Venezuela signed to the squad in big part due to the position that he plays. He becomes the first striker/centre-forward to join the academy so he has that going for him, to go along with noticeable size (6'4", 176lbs), strength (80), speed (77), and jumping (76). He has the tools to be come a useful scorer for us in the future.

GK - Nill Oulare (60 OVR, 74-80): 16-year old from Belgium currently standing at 5'9" and 158lbs. He has been developing well in his time in the academy although he projects as more of backup GK since scouts have concluded he doesn't have starting potential.
* Recent addition

March schedule
3/3: vs FC Utrecht (KNVB Cup)
3/7: at AZ
3/14: vs SC Cambuur
3/17: vs Napoli (Champions League)
3/20: vs PEC Zwolle
3/23: at Brazil (WC Qualifying)
3/26: at Bolivia (WC Qualifying)

As I already mentioned there isn't a whole lot of season left in the Eredivisie and after March there could be a very clear picture of whether we'll be able to clinch the league title ahead of the end of the season. Before we get to that we'll have to face off against Utrecht again and this time a draw will not be a possible outcome so we'll need to up our game if we want to keep hopes of a local double alive. Then there's the second leg of the tie against Napoli where I hope we can finish what we started and be able to call ourselves one of the top eight teams in Europe. And if that isn't enough to deal with I'll have to get back to trying to bring my beloved Venezuela back into a World Cup - we're really close to accomplishing that but these final few games won't be easy.

Stay tuned!

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Happy 1500! (shh, I know i'm a page late but it's the thought that counts!)

I've been feeling nostalgic thinking back on my Exeter City CM as of late and I just couldn't remember/decide who would've been the striker of the career. I myself remember Appiah the best but was that actually the case? It might just be because he's my favourite player and i'm being biased? So, naturally I went and did my research to come back with these results:

GPG stands for Goals Per Game

I could not gather a definite number of appearances in the early stages of the career so appearances are approximated for those couple of seasons.

It's difficult to conclude who was my best striker even with the stats. Most people would exclude Sanogo out just by comparing him to Sinclair but the problem here is that Sanogo only played two seasons and both were in the premier league compared to Sinclair who had seasons in league 2, league 1 and one season in the premier league where he scored 27 goals and got 6 assists.

Yaya Sanogo also holds the record for the most goals scored in a season (39) under my management with Sinclair at a close second (38 goals but only in league 1).

Ok, so Sanogo scored all of his goals in the premier league unlike Sinclair, but what about Appiah? Appiah scored 44 goals and got 13 assists in his three seasons in the premier league. Sanogo scored 55 premier league goals in only two seasons.

Cristiano scored 22 goals more than Sanogo in three seasons and had 49 more appearances than Sanogo all in the premier league. At the rate Sanogo was going, he would have beated Ronaldo's record but who knows whether Yaya could have kept it up.

What are the value of goals in the lower leagues compared to scoring in the top tier though? It's up for debate, for sure.

Don't count out Appiah for his goals per game though; once he turned 31-years-old in the latter stages of the career, he started to decline fast. Before his decline, his stats looked like this:

137 - apps
82 - goals
31 - assists
0.6 - gpg

Based on the above stat, I'm inclined to think Appiah was my best striker but I waver between all candidates frequently.

So, what do you guys think? Who do you think was my best striker?

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Reading Football Club is delighted to confirm the appointment of Indi Blue as manager of the first team. He has signed a three-year contract that includes an automatic two-year extension if the club achieves promotion by summer 2019.

The manager joins from Brighton & Hove Albion, where he served as assistant first team coach as well as head of the academy. He was poised to take over as head coach of the Seagulls before ultimately committing his future to us.

"Now is a very exciting time to be part of Reading. It was the opportunity to work with the likes of David Gill and Jaap Stam that ultimately swayed me to sign with the club," Indi said at his first press conference. "Having a chief executive of Mr. Gill's reputation is of particular benefit for us all. Just having him on board makes us attractive to a new level of player. So I think Reading is heading towards a very bright and exciting future."

Finally found a slider set I'm happy with, so this career is finally ready to roll!

Die Königsblauen

AUGUST 2016

Schalke 4-0 SD Eibar
12' 19' Schöpf, (Pen) 80' 88' Di Santo

MotM: Alessandro Schöpf

A brace for Schöpf and the same from Di Santo off the bench opened up our season with a confident win.

Tijuana 0-2 Schalke
31' Stambouli, 65' Choupo-Moting

MotM: Dennis Aogo

Goals in each half from Stambouli and Choupo-Moting gave us a deserved victory in our second game. The French midfielder's header was about to be caught by Lajud but his own man took the ball out of his path. Choupo-Moting rounded off the win with a tidy finish across the keeper.

Schalke 1-0 Lazio
(Pen) 86' Konoplyanka

MotM: Benedikt Höwedes

The final group game was also a clean sheet and win double. We faced a much sterner test in Lazio for top spot. The game was tight with chances for both sides and an 86th minute penalty was all that separated the German and Italian teams.

Semi Final
Schalke 3-1 Nacional
10' 41' Stambouli, 75' Konoplyanka
7' Blanco

Simmed

Final
Lazio 1-1 Schalke (4-3 Pens)
83' Baldé Diao
63' Hunterlaar

MotM: Keita Baldé Diao

Lazio deserved the victory in all honesty, they were the better side and dominated the game even though we struck first through Hunterlaar. Höwedes made a mess of his clearance however and Baldé Diao was there to pounce. Anderson unluckily hit the post with a few minutes left but the game was to be decided on penalties. Unfortunately Bentaleb missed the crucial penalty meaning the Rome side took the trophy.

Marchetti saves the deciding penalty

Home for Christmas, yaay! And since I have to move and the internet isn't good for Fut champions (does anybody here actually play it?), expect more Soton posts!

I get very little time to attempt to qualify but when I do I can never do it. It's very frustrating to say the least, hopefully I'll be able to over Christmas though.

The rewards are always decent from what I've seen. Have you done many SBCs? I'm addicted to them!

That's a very attacking lineup Sportsfreak! Who's the middle centre back?
