Season 7 Chapter 3 - Full squad Goalkeepers New man Ted Smith doesn’t look too impressive, but he should be capable of handling a very minimal role in the team. As per usual I will look to pretty much field Jordan Pickford whenever possible minus some cup matches here and there. Very happy...

Season 7 Chapter 2 - Finding Trophy worthy talent Budget We were given a rather hefty budget. But this is to expect from a Champions League regular from England. I expect to investment most of this in 3 positions. A new left-back to give Chilwell higher competition, a new midfielder and a new...

Season 7 Chapter 1 - New Youth Academy Prospects The New Ones Joseba Aizpurua Comes from last years intake. He has already garnered interest from Spain. He looks like a promising future Advanced Forward. He also should develop really well considering his personality is professional. Despite...

Season 6 Chapter 5 - The hunt for my first Trophy My goal this year is to yet again claim Champions League football. If we enjoy good domestic form we might be able to offer some excitement in the title run. The bookmakers however don’t think we are up there yet giving us 35-1 to win it. But...

Season 6 Chapter 4 - FIFA 22 As expected Jordan Pickford scores well for his card. I also expect him to grow during this season as he will go from secondary goalie in Manchester United too our first team starter. Nubel is entering probably his last season as the backup goalie. For the purpose...

Season 6 Chapter 3 - Squad Evaluation Goalkeepers Jordan Pickford is the pick of the goalies. Nothing much needed to be said here. I think Alexander Nubel is on his last season as the backup. He is unhappy and has a expiring contract. It’s never easy being my backup goalie on FM, but I still...

Season 6 Chapter 2 - Transfer Window As my shortlist picture should suggest I am looking for a goalkeeper, defenders, wing-backs and a advanced playmaker in the middle. Bakayoko would be a big bonus if we could convince him to sign. Fraser Forster and Danny Welbeck would also be solid pickups...

Season 6 Chapter 1 - Filling you in on the competition Arsene Wenger days have been numbered at the London club. It’s favourable english man Eddie Howe who now leads the charge. Arsenal started off great with a league title in 2018 followed by a FA cup win in 2019. Domestic success dropped...

Season 5 Chapter 4 - Responsibility We open with a match versus Liverpool’s feeder team, then city rival before meeting Liverpool themselves. We make things truly unnecessary hard versus Southampton with both Håland and Pinamonti missing out on good chances as we start out the season with a 1-0...

Season 5 Chapter 3 - Full squad evaluation One of the reason why the ratings was low last year was because I gave everyone 10 in consistency and this affect all stats. Since consistency is a hidden stats I used this as my way to lower my players as they player with lesser reputation. I will...

Season 5 Chapter 2 - Seeking star power We don’t only have Champions League play this season but a straight up guaranteed group stage slot. With a team with little to none European continental competition play in fact I think its only Jose Mauri, Tanguy Ndombele and Terence Kongolo. We simply...

Season 5 Chapter 1 - Taking a closer look on the finances When I started off this save the financial aspects were all bout bleak. The club had massive debt owed to the Venky group, and had higher monthly costs than income. While Ewood Park is a stadium capable of seating a solid 31,154 people...

Season 4 Chapter 4 - Darkhorse I did not have high hopes, but looking at the fixture list didn’t help as we started off with Manchester United, Tottenham and Arsenal. We were lucky versus Manchester United who had simply forgotten how to finish proper ticking in with 34 shots and only scoring...

Season 4 Chapter 3 - Full squad evaluation Goalkeepers Josip Posavec is a solid goalkeeper but at times I wonder if Alexander Nubel could be worth the time investment. Either way we will have a rather young goalie guarding our goal. Now I can’t speak for the accuracy of this conversion but I...

Season 4 Chapter 2 - Finding that Premier League worthy talent I might have stretch the truth about our possibilities to get a heftier budget. But it was worth it, and I do think I could fetch enough talent to actually truly be a mid table team. Even then I still sport the lowest wage budget...
