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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

August

Match 1

Liverpool 1-0 Southampton
Sturridge 29
Possibly the most undeserved win I've had. Southampton dominated with 60% possession and more clear cut chances. However, we got the win through Sturridge beating his man and running clear to curl into the far corner. Mignolet made an incredible save to stop Schneiderlin's thunderbolt and Fonte managed to miss a great chance. Then there was a very dubious decision by the referee to wave play on after Can brought down Elia in the box. We had one chance late on, Forster making a good double save to deny Sterling and Sturridge.

Match 2

Spurs 0-2 Liverpool
Sturridge 37
Henderson 43
We were once again atrocious, but we will always beat Spurs. Sturridge opened the scoring with an unbelievable solo goal, somehow keeping the ball in play before curling in from the tightest of angles. The second was an absolute stunner, Henderson firing into the top corner from 20 yards. Kane came close soon after, hitting the post after an underhit backpass but in the second half we became better in defence. We played the ball a lot better and Clyne would have made it 3 if it weren't for a great save by Vorm.

Match 3

Manchester City 0-1 Liverpool
Gerrard 90
Playing a weakened side with no Sturridge, Coutinho or Sterling, we played a passing game that limited City and kept them on the back-foot. We had the first chance of the game when a first time cross by Markovic fell to Borini who missed by a mile. There weren't many chances but we had more, but City's only shot fell to Silva who hit the post. Hart made an incredible save to deny Lambert at the near post from Gerrard's low ball into the box. We won it, right at the death with Gerrard's shot taking a deflection off of Mangala to loop over Hart and into the back of the net. A much better result than I expected.

Match 4

Liverpool 3-2 Aston Villa
N'Zogbia 23
Balotelli 45
Sanchez 58
Sturridge 78
Balotelli 90
Villa had the first chance of this incredible game, Weimann having his effort from distance stopped wonderfully by Mignolet. N'Zogbia gave them the lead when he fired in on the half volley after a failed clearance, Mignolet diving the wrong way and only managing to get a finger to the ball. Balotelli equalised, tucking in from 2 yards as Given failed to pick up the ball from Sturridge's chest down. Sanchez gave Villa the lead, breaking in behind the defence to smash in off the bar as Mignolet tried to close down the space. The Belgian keeper then made a great save to deny Agbonlahor. Sturridge put us level again, slotting in from close range on the turn. We then got the winner in the 90th, and what a winner it was. Getting the ball 30 yards out and firing into the top corner with his weaker left foot in stunning fashion.

Thoughts

First of all, this career the squads will comply with FA Premier League Squad Rules. My hope for this is to build a young squad with bits of experience here and there. This season it is Lucas and Gerrard, next will hopefully have Milner in. We want to be able to build ourselves up and become consistent in the top 4 before challenging for the title. The young squad will hopefully help me do that and I will do everything in my power to keep hold of Sturridge, Sterling and Coutinho, the core components of this squad.

The transfers: Clyne was the obvious choice. I needed someone home-grown and I wanted Johnson out. It was a straight swap, and ageing, awful right back for a young, excellent right back. Plus a bit of cash. Next was the young Serbian midfielder Kovacic. His passing and dribbling are excellent and the core reasons as to why I bought him. Excellent vision and both short and long passing mean he will be the creative force in the centre. His ball control and dribbling are his best attributes, combined with his acceleration and agility he will easily get out of tight spots. We managed to get him for £10 million less than Inter wanted as well.

Next, Nicolas Nkoulou. I needed a centre back as it is our weakest position but world class players are realistically out of our reach, hence the buying future world class players. Nkoulou, relatively young for a defender at 24 years old, the Cameroonian already has over 200 apps to his name in France. Good pace and ball control are just 2 of the great things about him, his interceptions being another. Finally, we brought in the 19 year old Spain and Lazio winger as back up for the left hand side of our attack. Possessing unbelievable pace and great dribbling, the youngster will terrorise full backs. He has already increased in stats and we only signed him on deadline day. It is currently September 1st.

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.

An Aaron Amadi-Holloway brace helped us to come back and secure our passage into the next round. His first had him holding off the defender and turning towards goal while the ball came in from Bloomfield. He fired confidently past Flinders in the Hartlepool goal. Bloomfield supplied him for his second playing an inch perfect ball allowing Amadi-Holloway to beat the offside line, on the edge of the box, and finish under Flinders. Craig added a third late on after dispossessing the defender.

McClure continued his scoring run volleying in from 6 yards after just 4 minutes thanks to good work from Morias. McClure would then have a penalty saved later on in the half. Cowan-Hall grabbed the second goal, dispossessing one defender and rounding another before firing in off the post. Ilesanmi then hacked the same man down mere minutes later earning a straight red and allowing us to close out the game easily.

The first of two games between 1st (Plymouth) and 2nd (Luton) in the space of 2 days started with us playing our B Team. Plymouth were quick out of the blocks and had gained a two goal lead inside 14 minutes. Reuben Reid was the cause of both of them. He squared the ball for Harvey's tap in and then attempted the same for Cox. Wood tried to intercept it but his poor touch only helped it onto Cox and he finished past Lynch. Craig gave us late hope when he tackled Nelson and put the ball into the net but we couldn't get another.


Sky Bet FL2: Match 14
Luton Town 2-3 Wycombe
Benson 57' 74'
Walker 38' 42' McClure 45' (Pen)

Motm: Paul Benson (LUT, 9.2)

A Walker brace followed by a McClure penalty, which was won by Walker, in 7 minutes gave us a 3 goal advantage going into the break. Luton came back fighting however and Ingram's short kick out went straight to Benson who converted gratefully. He then completed his brace heading in a cross with 16 minutes left to play. We remain 6th and host 4th placed Shrewsbury, who sit 3 points ahead of us, in our next game.


Matt McClure finally signed a new contract after the game which will see him stay an additional 3 years on the same £750 wage. The 22 year old striker was awash with rumours saying that he wasn't happy at the club and wanted to move on. This was fueled from the reports that he had turned down an extension earlier on in the season. With only 8 months left on his current deal, Keano and the board were extremely to have tied him down eventually, to the new deal and look forward to many prosperous seasons from the Northern Irish striker.


Sky Bet FL2: Match 15
Wycombe 1-1 Shrewsbury
Bloomfield 11'
Vernon 74' (Pen)

Motm: Alex Lynch (WYC, 6.9, 6 saves)

Things looked promising when Bloomfield netted early on after playing a one-two with Amadi-Holloway but it didn't turn out that way. We didn't capitalize on the goal and Evans was, rather harshly, judged to have brought down Grandison inside the box after a counterattack. Vernon stepped up and sent Lynch the wrong way to score his 8th league goal and secure a point for the Shrews.


Capital One Cup: Last 16
Aston Villa 1-0 Wycombe
Weimann 60'

Motm: Paris Cowan-Hall (WYC, 8.0)

1 of only 3 League 1 and League 2 sides left in the competition we headed to Villa Park to face a tough Aston Villa side. It wasn't to be however as a Weimann counter attack goal on the hour mark meant we exited the competition. No complaints though as we definitely put it up to the side from Birmingham and Paris Cowan-Hall was even named MOTM while we bossed possession.

Lewis Lloyd (England) - (UNK, 46-54 Ovr, 75-89 Pot, 16): Lewis had a small potential drop from when we first scouted him but is still promising. His stats point towards a CB although it looks like he will he a RB/LB.

Conclusion

The start of the month was very good with 3 straight wins before unluckily losing to Plymouth, they are top for a reason though. We had a good win against a strong, second placed Luton before a slightly disappointing draw with Shrewsbury. Villa were a stronger side so like I said, I've no complaints with that loss and we did push them all the way. Next month we should pick up wins against Accrington, Exeter and Cambridge while I hope to beat Cheltenham too. A point will do against Portsmouth and progression into the next round against Crewe is a goal. Targeted Points: 13/15.

Wimbledon also offered me the job! (I know Chico.) They are in 17th (3-7-5) on 16 points. Needless to say I turned them down as I'm sticking with Wycombe.

Thanks for Reading!

You picked up a good amount of points this month and overall you did well. Like you said Plymouth are the league leaders and it's understandable that you lost. Shame that you got eliminated from the cup but Villa are a PL side. You also improved your league position nicely.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

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.

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.

MotM: Mogilevets

Maxim Kanunnikov earns Rubin Kazan's first Player of the Month honor as the Russian winger who recently arrived from Amkar Perm notched 3 goals in August. Kanunnikov had the game-winning goal in a brace against FC Krasnodar and also found the back of the net against Mordovia Saransk.

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!

Ligue 2

GFC Ajaccio 4 – Stade Brest 3

GFC – Poggi 12’ Pujol 32’, (PEN) 49’ Libbra 59’

STA – Cuvillier 11’ Ramaré 20’ Falette (R) 49’ Adnane 58’

Julien François blocks Gaëtan Laborde’s shot but the ball rolls out to Alexandre Cuvillier who opens his body up to place the ball into the far left corner from outside the box. One minute later, Grégory Pujol wins a free-kick from around twenty-eight yards out. Louis Poggi swings the ball up and over the wall and past the reach of the keeper for the equaliser that only took thirty seconds to get! In the twentieth minute, Youssef Adnane cuts the ball back in the box for Johann Rameré to take a big run up before smashing the ball into Amos Youga but despite the massive deflection, the ball agonisingly crosses the line to put the third place team into the lead. Kévin Mayi sprints down the left before sending a perfectly low ball into the box for Pujol to tap it past the keeper for the equaliser. Four minutes after the restart and Pujol receives the ball in the box before being crunched into by Simon Falette. It’s amazing that Pujol isn’t hurt and the Brest defender rightfully sees red. Pujol takes the penalty where he puts it into the top left corner to send the keeper the wrong way for the lead. The scoreline changes less than ten minutes later to three-three as a series of bad challenges allows Youssef Adnane to slip the ball past Jules Goda for the equaliser. To mark a frantic game, Gazélec make it four-three as Grégory Pujol passes to Lucas Libbra who can volley it into the back of the net with the keeper in no man’s land. Gazélec have managed an eight game winning streak!

MOTM: Grégory Pujol (7.6, GFC)


Ligue 2

FC Sochaux 2 – GFC Ajaccio 1

FCS – Rafaël Dias 35’ Contout 68’

GFC – Pelé (OG) 61’

Julien François jumps into an unsuccessful challenge and leaves a gap in the defence for Rafaël Dias to receive the ball from a pass across goal and poke it past Maury for the opening goal of the game. In the fifty-fifth minute, Sochaux’s winger, Roy Contout bends his shot onto the crossbar to hand a lifeline to Gazélec. After only coming on six minutes before, Grégory Pujol steals the ball off the last defender and breaks forward. He’s getting pulled back but he manages to prod the ball towards the keeper, Yohann Pelé. Pujol’s shot is initially going wide but the trailing leg of the keeper knocks it on target which results in an own goal. Pelé crashes into Pujol who has to be given urgent attention and is not even capable of a celebration. Some close quarters passing in the box allows Sochaux to get some space with Stoppila Sunzu whose shot is deflected by his own player, Roy Contout. The ball drops down and with no one marking him; Contout spins and guides the ball into the far corner to make it two-one.

MOTM: Julien Faussurier (7.0, FCS)

Injury News:

Grégory Pujol has suffered a Sprained Ankle and will be out for 3 weeks.


Ligue 2

GFC Ajaccio 3 – AS Nancy 3

ASN – Cétout 10’, 81’ Hadji 46’ Muratori (R) 64’

GFC – François (R) 52’ Libbra 56’ Ducourtioux 64’ Mayi 90’

Some tactical changes from Bee look great offensively but they’ve conceded early as the ball is squared to Julien Cétout on the edge of the box. He makes an out of this world turn to fool Rodéric Filippi and all he has to do is place the ball into the bottom corner. Arnaud Lusamba plays a ball through the defence from his own half to allow Youssouf Hadji to make his way to the edge of the penalty area before hitting it across the keeper and into the far corner to make it two-one only one minute after the break. Amos Youga finds himself in the box and a cross forces him to slide in to take the chance; the effort goes just wide but he stays on the ground and he’s ordered of the pitch by the medical team. A formation change means that Youga comes off for Yoann Andreu. And if going two down wasn’t enough, a clumsy tackle by the already-booked Julien François takes Gazélec down to ten men with just under forty minutes to go! Only four minutes later, a corner from the right is taken by Louis Poggi who whips the ball into the near post where Lucas Libbra can head it past the keeper. Could this be a monumental comeback by the severely weakened team from Ajaccio? It might well be, because in the sixty-forth minute, a ball over the top is intercepted by Vincent Muratori but Cyriaque Rivieyran manages to dispossess him. Muratori falls to the floor under the pressure but then sticks a leg out to stop the play. Because the Nancy left-back already had a booking, he’s sent to the dressing room to make it a ten versus ten game. The resulting free-kick is whipped in by Rivieyran. The ball drops to David Ducourtioux who heads the ball so that it goes across the keeper and it slots into the bottom corner for the equaliser! The home fans go wild and Bee wipes his brow with a nervous look on his face. Somehow Ducourtioux made the ball curl into the bottom corner with a header! A shot by Romain Grange smashes the cross bar but the rebound falls straight to Julien Cétout who just nods it into the bottom corner. To add to the drama, Bee sends his team up field to press for the equaliser. Louis Poggi sprints down the left wing in the last minute of regular time. He dummies a cross and cuts inside where he knocks the ball across goal. The ball is an inch away from the head of John Tshibumbu and it then bounces up to Mayi who hits it on the volley. The keeper’s footwork lets him down and he’s caught off balance as he attempts to get his finger tips to it but it’s just out of reach and Gazélec have another equaliser!

MOTM: Louis Poggi (9.3, GFC)

Injury News:

Amos Youga has suffered a Bruised Shoulder and will be out for 9 days.


Ligue 2

Valenciennes FC 3 – GFC Ajaccio 0

VAL – Le Tallec 33’, 90’ Nguette 36’

The first goal appears in the thirty-third minute where Anthony Le Tallec can find some space due to a poor challenge by Filippi allows him to smash it into the roof of the net. Three minutes later, Opa Nguette breaks free on the counter attack before beating Maury at his near post for a second! In the seventy-second minute, Mayi manages to find some space and crosses into the box where the unmarked M’Madi cannot head the ball into the open goal. That could have been the chance that will come back to haunt them... In the end, Valenciennes have obliterated GFC Ajaccio and Le Tallec proves this after being slotted in through on goal and neatly finishing past a half-hearted Maury dive.

MOTM: Anthony Le Tallec (9.6, VAL)




Gazélec Ajaccio’s Player of the Month

Louis Poggi

(2 Goals and 4 Assists in 17 Games)

MOTM’s this Month = 1

No one has really stood out this month except maybe for Grégory Pujol but he only managed a game and a couple of minutes before getting his third injury of the season. Louis Poggi has done the most this month and has definitely rose above the rest in this poor form. This month has made me realise that I cannot even count on M’Madi (who didn’t score or assist this month) to perform every month but I can trust Poggi to deliver.

Managers Thoughts:

This month wasn’t what we were expecting after an eight game unbeaten streak in the league. Ali M’Madi stepped into the shadows and let Grégory Pujol take the limelight but his injury was not much of a surprise. After the injury to our inform striker, no one stepped up to the plate which then left us with five different goalscorers this month. I’m not sure what the problem is and to be honest, I have no idea how to fix it. The January transfer window is coming up and that’s really what we need now that the team is starting to get a little fatigued. I already have some targets but we hardly have any money so I might have to plead for a little more and sell a few players to get what we need.

We’ve managed to stay in the top three for this month and hopefully we can stay there (or even improve) until the transfer window so that I can make some much-needed changes.

Jonathan Kodjia’s lead over M’Madi is increasing and the golden boot already looks like it will be handed to him and also the league title if things keep going the way they’re going. We should be able to pick up the pace in a couple of months and be in those promotion spots.

Our in Form Players: Louis Poggi have proven his reliability and has been displaying some signs of greatness in the past couple of games. David Ducourtioux has been a solid anchor for us and he’s been doing a lot even though the scorelines suggest that he hasn’t; it’s the people behind him who haven’t been performing. It was a shame that Pujol keeps getting so many injuries! He could easily be level with M’Madi if he was fit for at least a string of games! He’ll be ready to play next month so I hope he gets on the score sheet and shakes off his injury troubles.

Our out of Form Players: Rodéric Filippi and Julien François have been in extremely poor form for us at the back lately. I understand that François’ preferred position is elsewhere but Amos Youga has managed to perform well and he’s playing out of position too! Our goalkeepers, Clément Maury and Jules Goda have both been in poor form. Each of them have been sluggish and have only made one or two good saves in this whole month. I never thought I would say this but Ali M’Madi has been a passenger this month. He’s made some great runs but his finishing has disappeared and now, he can only muster an off-balance shot straight at the keeper! Let’s hope they all start performing next month.

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!

Oh my god, I'm so sorry. Obviously an X-Box is replaceable but sentimental things, I can only empathise. I don't know how I'd feel if that happened. Do you have any idea if you can get it back? Do you think it was a mistake or stolen?

Aww f**k man!!! That is extremely terrible. Is there still any chance the boxes will show up?? I'd be torn about losing the photo albums. Especially if they're old pictures back when you couldn't upload them to a computer and back them up. I hope somebody else has a copy of those photos! This sucks man. Damn Commies! Sorry I meant to say Soviets... Wait no I meant Russians! Same thing I guess? ('Murica)

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Just a heads up, I should be posting an Osasuna update either today or tomorrow and it is another long one. The Copa Del Rey added more matches to the month, and there is a lot to talk about. Also, since I hardly make any signings I've decided that when I do, I will inquire first and pay the price stated. In the first couple seasons of the career I really have to watch my spending and I try to get the best deal I can, especially back when I was in League 2 with Wimbledon, but at this point I'm getting prize monies from tournaments and I have nothing to spend it on. So, going forward I will pay the dealer's price, and if I'm feeling generous I might add some more just for the hell of it. Hopefully the extra cash will help the CPU make some competitive signings which in turn would boost my CM experience even more.

This decision was inspired by the transfer rules Cruzerr, Tex, and others have implemented on themselves in their respective careers.
