Deportivo La Coruña
FIFA 15 - Season 1

Blanquiazules’

January 2015

RC Deportivo 3 - Athletic Bilbao 3
DEP - Perez 30', Cuenca 45', Postiga 60'
BIL - De Marcos 17', Susaeta 45', Gomez 62'
MOTM: Cuenca

Beñat found De Marcos in the box and he read the defense and placed the ball well inside the near post for the opener. Perez got the ball on the counter and used a step over to get by the last defender and go through on the left side of the box and hit a hard shot into the top right corner. Fariña dribbled down the left wing and sent a cross into the box that went over the defenders and dropped to Cuenca on the far post for a strong first time finish. After a poor punch by Lux, the ball was quickly hit back ahead to Susaeta who was just barely kept onside for the quick finish. Cuenca sent a corner into the box and picked out Postiga who rose above the defense and headed the ball into the top right corner for the lead once again. Gomez answered almost immediately with a well placed header off of a Susaeta cross to complete the scoring for the match.

Copa Del Rey Round of 16 Leg 1
Valencia CF 3 - RC Deportivo 1
VAL - Fernandinho 37', Feghouli 72', 79'
DEP - Costa 29'
MOTM: Fabricio

Perez sent a corner into the box and Costa was able to rise above his defender and head the ball into the top right corner. Fernandinho answered with a stunning strike from just outside the box using his left foot to curl it into the top left corner of the goal. Fernandinho played a ball through into the box and Feghouli sprinted past the defense to get there first and slot it past the keeper for the lead. Piatti then sent in a cross that went over the first target, but fell to Feghouli on the back post for a well hit volley into the back of the net.

Copa Del Rey Round of 16 Leg 2
RC Deportivo 1 (2) - Valencia CF 0 (3)
DEP - Perez 45'
MOTM: Medunjanin

Perez showed some great skill beating two defenders to get into the box and then used a hesitation before sprinting past the last man and firing a strong shot past the keeper. Despite having a few more chances, Deportivo couldn't get the last goal needed to overcome the first leg deficit and Valencia are the ones advancing.

RC Deportivo 3 - FC Barcelona 3
DEP - Medunjanin 58', 69', Dominguez 89'
FCB - Rakitic 15', Busquets 23', Messi 81'
MOTM: Medunjanin

Neymar played a great ball through to Rakitic on the right side of the goal and he was able to slot it past the keeper for the opener. Mascherano played a cross into the box after a short corner and found Busquets' head for a finish into the top right corner. Medunjanin pulled one back after Luisinho's shot was deflected to him and he fired a low shot to the bottom right corner. He then evened the match up with a fantastic free kick on the left side of the goal that curled around the wall and slipped just inside the left post. Messi put Barcelona back on top after his header from Rakitic's cross hit off the crossbar and he dove to head the loose ball into the goal. Medunjanin dribbled into the box and pulled the ball back to find Juan Dominguez at the top of the box for a perfect first time strike into the top right corner for the equalizer.

RC Deportivo 0 - Granada CF 1
GRA - Luisinho 31' (OG)
MOTM: Roberto

Luisinho took the ball away from the attacker and his momentum forced him to take an extra touch back towards goal. Lux stepped up to clear the ball rather than let Luisinho collect it and his clearance hit off of Luisinho and bounced back into his own net for the deciding own goal.

Levante UD 4 - RC Deportivo 4
LEV - Diop 40', 90' Ivanschitz 75', Martins 90'
DEP - Postiga 24', 58', 90', Costa 87'
MOTM: Postiga

Costa sprinted past the defense down the left wing and sent a cross into the box finding Postiga for the header into the top right corner. Diop ran behind Juan Dominguez in the box to receive the ball and finish quickly past the keeper for the equalizer. Perez attacked the right side of the box and sent a cross in that was mishandled by the keeper and Postiga tapped home the loose ball. Diop drew a foul at the top left of the box and Ivanschitz stepped up to curl the free kick into the top left corner. Valeron found Costa on the left side of the box for a well placed finish to the bottom right corner of the goal. Martins found the equalizer after an embarrassing display of marking from Juanfran left him open on the back post to tap in a low cross. Postiga was able to put Deportivo back ahead using a skillful touch to get into the left side of the box and fire back across to the far post. In another embarrassing display of defense, Levante played a ball over the top for Diop to run onto and fire a shot that was kept out by Fabricio, but only for Diop to knock in the rebound for the equalizer.

Deportivo La Coruña Player of the Month

Haris Medunjanin

Haris Medunjanin was big this month performing at a high level against the highest competition. He accounted for every goal in the Barcelona match for a hard fought draw where he scored 2 and assisted the other. His presence in the midfield was felt all month on both ends of the field.

Manager Comments

Academy Update - A large amount of additions were made to the academy this month. 4 new players have all joined, with Rafael Ansaldi being the one player left over from previous months. All of the new additions are 16 years old, with the exception of one who is 15. Ricardo Sanchez will be a key player to watch develop as he could potentially be the best of the bunch.

Copa Del Rey - A poor performance in the first leg was too much to recover from. We came up 1 goal short in the end, and we fought hard for it in the last match, but couldn't get the one that mattered the most. It is a disappointment to go out like this, but we will use it as a learning experience that in a competition like this you cant under-perform and expect to still get by.

League Form - A rough month that resulted in no wins in league play, and 3 draws. Taking a point against Barcelona was still a good result though, but now they have moved ahead of us in the table while still having a game in hand. Still, we are in third, but most of the teams behind us also have a game or two in hand. I am hoping that we haven't played our best football all before the second half of the season, but our focus will be to turn it back around now.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Hey guys been reading the updates. I see you all have been busy with some football. I have not updated Dagenham in a while, but I will let you know the season has been steadily moving along. We are top of the table in BPL with a strong run of winning league matches, but it has come at a cost as we have also been bounced out of the FA Cup by Bristol City. We are now in February and the push for me is to get to World Cup. We are still battling in Euro league just got out of group stage and have rematch from last season with Sporting FP from Portugal again. Playing all Cup matches with reserve team.

That brings me to my dilemma, at the conclusion of the World Cup I have a yearning to get back in Serie A. I was at first leaning to go back to Palermo, but now I am looking Juventus or Roma. I know red4ever is doing Juventus so if he has a problem with me joining them that is fine. But I also would like to know what you guys think. Before I start I have to find some more settings because I am winning too many matches now.

I am glad to see jamiec47 back.

FIFA 15 | PS3 | Season 1 | 2014-15

Los Blanquillos

February 2015

Feb 7th
Liga Adelante
Match 26
Real Zaragoza 2-1 Mallorca
João 30'
Borja 36' (Gómez)
Porcar 62' (Ruiz de Galarreta)

MotM: Óscar Whalley

João was allowed to walk right through our defence to score the opener and just minutes later Óscar made a great save to prevent us going two down. We hit back soon after from a Borja header off a long range free kick swung in by Gómez from the right wing. Nothing really happened until Ruiz de Galarreta played a beautiful ball from the middle of the park over the top to find Porcar's, also perfect, run in behind the Mallorca defence. All he had to do was control it with one touch and poke it under Miño with the second. Borja missed a chance to go two ahead not too long after. Mallorca turned up the pressure searching for the equalizer with chances from João and Coeff before Mayer narrowly missed a pull back across the 6 yard box from Arana. He somehow put it wide.

Mayer misses!

Feb 14th
Liga Adelante
Match 27
CD Mirandés 1-1 Real Zaragoza
Suárez 42' (Romero)
Llorente 50' SENT OFF
Provencio 66'

MotM: Jaime Romero

A moment of madness cost us the 3 points today. If we had 11 on the pitch we would have won. We should have won anyway but so an extremely lucky equalizer. Diego Suárez put us ahead at the break scoring 3 minutes before time. Romero dispossessed the CB and passed to Suárez who smashed it home first time. Vera struck the post early in the second half before Llorente received his marching orders after mistiming a sliding tackle on Vera and being the last man. Provencio scored the equalizer 16 minutes later after. A clearing header fell to him inside the box and Tierno won the ball off him. But just as he went to clear it, Vera ran into him. Provencio managed to then put the ball past Alcolea in a freak accident. Vallejo then struck the crossbar with a header off a Hadzic corner.

Suárez' bullet.

Feb 21st
Liga Adelante
Match 28
Real Zaragoza 3-1 CD Lugo
Fernández 11'
Pérez 38' (Suárez)
Hadzic 45' (Romero)
Hadzic 52' (Pen)

MotM: Eldin Hadzic

The month ended on a high with a 3-1 home win against Lugo. Hadzic finally signed a new contract and put in a MOTM performance grabbing 2 goals. Fernández however took away another clean sheet early on after Rico's pass out of defence was cut out and we were then outnumbered leading to the goal. 2 almost identical goals in 7 minutes had us ahead at the break. The first came from Pérez making a delayed run into the 6 yard box to tap in a low ball drilled in from the right by Suárez. The second was from in form Hadzic right on halftime. This time it came from the left with Romero drilling it across through 3 Lugo players where Hadzic had the control to place it home. Tarsi came on in place of Basha who picked up a sprained ankle at halftime. It was him who won the penalty off David De Coz. Tarsi just got his foot between the ball and De Coz as he slid in and took him out. Hadzic stepped up and make no mistake placing it over the keeper who had dived the right way. A good way to end the month regaining top spot in the process.

Injury
Vullnet Basha - Sprained Ankle, 3 weeks.

Real Zaragoza Player of the Month

Eldin Hadzic - LM, 66 (+3) Ovr, 22, Bosnia Herzegovina

The Bosnian was a threat in all the games he played this month. He played really well on the right wing and that showed in the last game of the month against Lugo where he bagged a brace and earned MOTM. At only 22 he has a bright future on the flank of the team. Other honourable mentions include, Jaime Romero (67 (+1) Ovr, 24, Spain) on the left wing who got 2 assists in 2 games and also striker Diego Suárez (63 (+2) Ovr, 20, Spain) who chipped in with a goal and an assist in 2 games. He is proving why Munir (68 (+2) Ovr, 19, Spain) is being kept out the team and may even challenge for the starting spot next season if things go well and he keeps progressing like he has been.

Youth Academy
Jose Baquero - (Spain) RW, 49-55 Ovr, 79-89 Pot, 16 (Attacker) - The first youngster to join the Academy is Spanish attacker Jose Baquero. He has shown good speed along with ball control and finishing in his initial report. He has settled in the RW slot and the 5'11" attacker has it seems enough pace to play there and also a finishing touch. Bright things are expected.

Gabriel Rodriguez - (Spain) Mid/Def, 41-51 Ovr, 68-88 Pot, 15 (Unknown) - The 5'8" 15 year old is the second addition to the Zaragoza Academy. He looks like he will be either a defender or a defensive midfielder seeing as his best stats are his defensive one. Particularly his standing tackle and strength.

March Matches
1/3 - AD Alcorcón (h)
7/3 - Racing Santander (a)
14/3 - Albacete (h)
21/3 - RC Recreativo (a)
28/3 - Numancia (h)

I was hoping for 3 wins out of 3 this month but hey, I'll take the 7 points. The 2 wingers with the B Team, Hadzic and Romero really impressed me in their 2 games this month and that makes me relax knowing that I've 4 quality wingers in the squad. In March I want to get 5 wins out of 5 but I'd be happy with a draw in either the Alcorcón or Recreativo game.

Hope you enjoyed this month! Thanks for reading!

Your offence was great but your defence was shocking! 3-3's and 4-4's all over the place! Your only win was against Valencia but by then it didn't matter seeing as the damage had already been done in the first leg. Real seem to be running away with the league and Barca look like they are starting to stretch out a gap on you. Maybe 3rd is the best you can do now seeing as you have been dragged back into that 3rd place dogfight. This will really test your squad!

Youth Academy:

Aaron Davis. (United States) 15 years old 64-72 OVR 86-94 POT

Evan Davies (United States) 15 years old 58-64 OVR 75-83 POT
- Evan Davies is a left-back who’s left-footed and stands at 6’1. His interceptions and his sliding tackles seem to be what his is most skilled at.

Press Conference:

Q: Well done for staying third in the league table after two months. Do you feel that you can keep this up?

A: Because it’s the Premier League something is bound to go wrong. This is because the teams in this league capitalise on whatever mistake you make. Despite this, I do want to keep this form up for as long as possible but we also have to accept that this won’t be where we will be at the end of the season.

Q: Do you think that your new signings are playing well at the moment?

A: Yes I do. You recently saw the debuts ofYoëll van Nieff, Maxime Blanc and Will Grigg and they all performed well and with a lot of promise for their future at the club. Not to mention all of my other signings that have been pulling their weight for these first two months.

Manager’s Thoughts:

I’m very happy with where we are at the moment! Who wouldn’t be happy with third and especially because we are a newly promoted team! We obviously don’t have much of a safety net to fall on though. We could potentially fall all the way to seventh or eighth with one badly timed loss. As I said in the press conference, it would be very naive of me to say that we could hold that spot until the end of the season. We’re inexperienced in the top flights and we are a newly promoted team in one of the toughest leagues in the world so a low mid-table finish is a little more realistic.

The new signings have made a great impression for us in the Premier League and Jason Banton in particular has contributed to many of our goals since coming to the club. Will Grigg was particularly impressive on his debut in the Fulham game where he could have easily got a hat-trick. Players that I’d like to see more from are Yoëll van Nieff who hasn’t had much of an opportunity to shine and I want to change that and also Alan Morgunov who has been a little slow and sluggish since coming to the club. I understand that it does take time for a player to get used to their new club so I am willing to be patient with him.

Youth Academy:

Aaron Davis. (United States) 15 years old 64-72 OVR 86-94 POT
- This 5’10 right-footer looks to be an amazing striker or left midfielder. His best attributes are his heading accuracy, shot power, finishing and ball control.

Evan Davies (United States) 15 years old 58-64 OVR 75-83 POT
- Evan Davies is a left-back who’s left-footed and stands at 6’1. His interceptions and his sliding tackles seem to be what his is most skilled at.

* Denotes a new graduate

Press Conference:

Q: Well done for staying third in the league table after two months. Do you feel that you can keep this up?

A: Because it’s the Premier League something is bound to go wrong. This is because the teams in this league capitalise on whatever mistake you make. Despite this, I do want to keep this form up for as long as possible but we also have to accept that this won’t be where we will be at the end of the season.

Q: Do you think that your new signings are playing well at the moment?

A: Yes I do. You recently saw the debuts ofYoëll van Nieff, Maxime Blanc and Will Grigg and they all performed well and with a lot of promise for their future at the club. Not to mention all of my other signings that have been pulling their weight for these first two months.

Manager’s Thoughts:

I’m very happy with where we are at the moment! Who wouldn’t be happy with third and especially because we are a newly promoted team! We obviously don’t have much of a safety net to fall on though. We could potentially fall all the way to seventh or eighth with one badly timed loss. As I said in the press conference, it would be very naive of me to say that we could hold that spot until the end of the season. We’re inexperienced in the top flights and we are a newly promoted team in one of the toughest leagues in the world so a low mid-table finish is a little more realistic.

The new signings have made a great impression for us in the Premier League and Jason Banton in particular has contributed to many of our goals since coming to the club. Will Grigg was particularly impressive on his debut in the Fulham game where he could have easily got a hat-trick. Players that I’d like to see more from are Yoëll van Nieff who hasn’t had much of an opportunity to shine and I want to change that and also Alan Morgunov who has been a little slow and sluggish since coming to the club. I understand that it does take time for a player to get used to their new club so I am willing to be patient with him.

October’s Games:

Manchester City (A)

Manchester United (H)

Newcastle (A)

Norwich City (A)*

Spurs (H)

3 very tight games in the league. 7 points from them is great and your reward is 3rd spot on the table which after just getting promoted is a great achievement! Allassani really performed in those first 2 games and Grigg had a great debut against Fulham. Appiah also scored in the last 2 games of the month adding to his tally at the top of the goal scoring charts! Looks like a tough month ahead however with the 2 Manchester clubs in a row then Spurs to finish the month. Newcastle are no easy team to beat either and Norwich could be tricky in the cup. Good luck!

Thanks! Allassani has really come into his own since coming into the Premier League and he saved the team against his former club, Crystal Palace and also the Swansea game. Appiah looks and feels as good as always when he's out on the pitch too.

My main problem is rotating Appiah, Grigg, Feudjou and Konate for the lone striker position without anyone becoming unhappy. Another area that has a lot of competition is the two central midfielder spots. I've got to try and rotate Sercombe and Saiz Alonso with Reece Brown, van Nieff, Payne, Bauer and Maxime Blanc. Not to mention the players that i have on loan! But competition for places is healthy and I'm looking forward to experimenting with all the various combinations that I could put out on the pitch.

I'm also very tempted to play Ryan Inniss in the striker poistion. He's tall, strong, has good jumping stats and is a great header of the ball so you might see Inniss scoring more often in the coming months.

Are you lacking in any other areas? If you stick with that formation maybe try and trim a couple of players and strengthen in other areas of the pitch? Just a thought.

I've been planning to sell someone in order to get a new full/wing-back because my only sub in those areas is Anthony Arce Jr. who's my youth squad player so he has like 50 sprint speed. It's just difficult to decide who I should sell...

That's the thing! I enjoy using everyone! I guess I don't need Diego Poyet due to him being on loan and that hasn't affected the team much. When I last played on my CM Reece Brown and Feudjou announced that they wanted to leave and Sylvain Gbohouo demanded a loan. I'm not sure about selling Feudjou but I should get some money from my YA player Jared Williams, Diego Poyet and Reece Brown if everything goes to plan.

I've also got a promising left-back and another promising left-midfielder in my YA at the moment.

Liverpool Manager Mode

Spurs vs Liverpool

Liverpool wins 2-1 in a thriller away at White Hart Lane

West Ham vs Liverpool

Liverpool goes off to the Boleyn Grounds to take on Moose’s men in a game Liverpool was expected to dominate turned into West Ham scoring 2 goals in the first 20 minutes to put them up 2-0 but Raheem Sterling gets us a goal off a brilliant corner by Mario Balotelli.
70 minutes in Mario Balotelli scores a monster of a goal from 30 yards out to tie the game at 2-2. Then in the 89th minute the unthinkable happens. Steven Gerrard scores a goal off a Volley that would seal the game for Liverpool as they win 3-2

Fifa’s MOTM: Mario Balotelli
My MOTM: Raheem Sterling

Raheem Sterling get’s my MOTM for this fixture because not only did he score in this game but he is the one who sparked the comeback in this one that ultimately lead to us winning off that goal by Steven Gerrard.

Capital One Cup

Merseyside Derby
Liverpool vs Everton

This game started out poorly for Liverpool,Everton were on the ball and we just couldn’t get it away from them. James McCarthy scores in the 23’ to put Everton up 1-0. 16 minutes later Raheem Sterling scores after he comes on for an injured Dimitri Payet. In the 55th minute Mario Balotelli breaks through Everton’s defense and Steven Gerrard plays a lovely through ball over the Everton defenders and Balotelli smashes the ball into the top corner. In the 68th minute Balotelli drills in a corner that is met by Daniel Sturridge’s head, Tim Howard saves it the first time but it falls straight to the feet of Sturridge and Sturridge smashes the ball into the bottom corner.

Liverpool wins 3-1

Barclays Premier league

Liverpool vs Everton

Everton gets their revenge in this game as Aaron Lennon puts them up early and then just held the lead until the end. We couldn’t score at all. We scored a goal but it was called off due to Balotelli being offsides.

The West Ham game was irritating as hell mate. They scored two goals in quick succession before the 20th minute and by then I thought oh joy i'm gonna lose to the team that was 17th at that point and then we make the comeback and i'm like "We could actually win this if I play my cards right, and sure enough I get a goal to put us up 3-2 and just held the ball the rest of the time not wanting to risk another goal.

Hey guys I have a question I may sound dumb to ask. But when adjusting sliders do the higher numbers mean more difficulty. For example raising the shot error.
