A Change At Chelsea - Youth First

[Sam91]

**** with Costa mate but still going strong! hopefully Brown can pull through for you in this late stage

Yeah but it really does give Izzy a chance to show me if he's ready to step up and be our leading striker!! I've been so impressed with him this season

March 2015

Capital One Cup Final an absolute thriller
Napoli second leg couldn't be tighter
Making good progress in the league



League


Chelsea 0 - 0 West Ham


A real boring match here, both cancelling each other out.



Everton 1 - 1 Chelsea

Hazard

Another draw.... Eden scored in the first minute but James McCarthy equalised just before the hour mark.



Chelsea 4 - 1 Leicester

Brown(2), Willian, Azpilicueta

Wahey thats more like it!! Izzy Brown nets twice, we have JT sent off and walk away with 3 points still. That sending off has all but secured JT's exit from the club. his contracts up at the end of the season and I can't see myself renewing it... he's just not good enough anymore sadly.



Southampton 1 - 2 Chelsea

Hazard, Salah

Tight match here, Izzy Brown setting up Hazard early on(them two link so well). Southampton equalised through Jo but after they had Davis sent off this game was only going one way and Salah scored the winner in the second half.


-----------------------------------------------------------------

FA Cup


Quarter Final

Chelsea 3 - 1 Arsenal

Willian(2), Brown

No goals at halftime but Willian blitzed them with a 2 minute brace. Brown added another to make the game comfortable. Easy win over a side who done the double over us in the league!!


-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Capital One Cup Final


Chelsea 5 - 4 Aston Villa
(AET)

Baker(PEN), Fabregas, Cahill, Brown, Hazard

WHAT A MATCH!! Baker gave us an early lead from the spot, they scored a freak goal with an overhit cross. Fabregas got sent off just after the break and I feared the worst when they took the lead. But after moving Izzy Brown up front and Hazard onto the left wing we clicked and Hazard slipped Izzy in through on goal in the last minute to equalise. Hazard scored the winner after Izzy returned the favour playing him in after a good run.

CHAMPIONS!!



---------------------------------------------------------------

Champions League


First Knockout Round 2nd Leg

Chelsea 3 - 1 Napoli
(Chelsea win 6-6 on agg[away goals])

Baker,Hazard(2)

BOOM!!! Left it till the 88th minute but we progress on away goals!! Bayern in the next round though...


-------------------------------------------------------------

Monthly Review


Solid enough month, undefeated in the league but draws against West Ham and Everton isn't too great. Izzy Brown has filled in very well netting a few goals this month but Eden Hazard has really shone. Bayern in the next round of the Champions League is going to be a huge struggle and could be the end of competition for us really.


Youth intake was decent though couple of good players in Mark Cross and Dyson Lavine:

Really like the look of Mark Cross, I'm retraining him as a RW. We'll see how he gets on they've both made their starts already.



Player of the Month

Eden Hazard

Another stunning month from the lad, goals and assists galore.



Table

Seven points clear of Arsenal here. West Ham, Sunderland and Palace are all but relegated with them all 10 points from safety on 19 points!!​

 

[SamPeters]

Congrats on the cup win and another unbeaten month and hopefully you can win the title!

Champions League tie versus Bayern
Mark Cross becomes youngest scorer in BPL history
Izzy Brown's hot streak continues



League


Chelsea 3 - 1 Burnley

Brown(2), Hazard

We fell behind here but two goals from wonderboy Izzy and Eden Hazard gave us a win.



Crystal Palace 3 - 3 Chelsea

Brown(2), Cross

Rested a number of players here with the Bayern tie just three days after. Brown bagged a brace again and Cross scored but rock bottom Palace fought hard for a point and JT summed up his season by turning into his own net late on.



Chelsea 2 - 4 Manchester United

Zouma, Brown

Dunno wtf even happened here... we were cruising at 2-1 till I made the subs and chucked JT on... blizted us in the space of 9 minutes!!!


-----------------------------------------------------------------

FA Cup


Semi Final

Proper cup tie this!!! Tons of goals, missed penalty, red card. Great to see Mark Cross netting again in a big cup tie against a huge rival, proper Chelsea lad!!


-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Champions League


Quarter Final 1st Leg
Chelsea 1 - 0 Bayern

Hazard

Very tight match, and a clean sheet was hugely important for us!! Zouma was outstanding at the back for us here.



Quarter Final 2nd Leg

Bayern 1 - 2 Chelsea

Oscar

BOOM!!! What a win here, played a new counter tactic I made just for this game and it worked a treat. Costa made a return here but was on the bench.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Monthly Review


What a month we had here. Into the FA Cup Final against United so hopefully some revenge for that league loss. Title is still all but wrapped up hopefully barring a huge collapse. Izzy Brown netted 6 goals this month and could well end up scoring over 30 goals in all competitions for us this season which would be incredible.

In the Champions League check out the teams left:

We should beat Gala really... leaving us either Liverpool or Shaktar in the final!! Crazy how all the big guns have been knocked out. Izzy Brown sitting third in the assists table too.



Player of the Month

Izzy Brown

6 Goals this month from the little superstar. Also called up to the Under 21 England side where he scored 2 goals in 2 games.



Table

Lewis Baker and Eden Hazard leading the assists table and Costa still top of goalscoring even though he's been out for 2 months!!

Brown scoring for fun and Baker picking up plenty of assists!

Nice work

Thanks mate, yeah hopefully but we'll see. Squad will be revamped though, like Oscar is amazing but I wanna try and develop Odegaard and Roberts.

Great season so far! Vezo is a beast isnt he!

Honestly haven't used him much but like the look of his stats, centre back is certainly a position that needs attention this summer for me though

BOOM!! CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE!! It was a tight thrilling match even with Lovren being sent off it took us a while to break them down, but when we did they collapsed in spectacular fashion with Salah tormenting them with his pace and skill.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Season Review

A great season where we won the treble in great style. Youngsters such as Lewis Baker and Izzy Brown have really asserted themselves and become big players for us which is incredible when you think about it. Izzy ended up netting 31 goals and 17 assists in 34 starts which is amazing for any player.

Gonna offload a lot of deadwood in the summer, we've got a ton of players coming back from loan who are surplus to requirement. JT HAS signed a new contract on £100k less than he was originally on.



Final League Table and Stats

City just miss out on a Champions League spot. West Ham, Sunderland and Palace were all relegated. Costa finished as top scorer and won English Players Player of the Season. Eden Hazard won Player of the Season, Baker racked up the most assists.


Team Of The Season

My Player of the Season

Eden Hazard

He's just been sensational. Unreal season from the lad who's gonna get better and better.



My Young Player of the Season

Izzy Brown

The lad was unreal, 31 goals and 17 assists is incredible stats.

Thanks mate, been some huge changes over the summer though... don't reckon we'll be as successful this season

August 2015

Big changes in the summer
Solid start in the league
Munir off to a flyer



Transfer

I wasn't planning on making so many changes this summer, but things just kind of happened... all went a bit mad but lets have a look at my business.

Ins

First place that needed attention was centre back, so I forked out a big fee for Marquinhos and gave them Filipe Luis too. A bit much but he's just 21 and is a fantastic player. I also got Balanta after a number of clubs had bids accepted, I wasn't gonna not go for him!! Next in came Bakkali on a free, talented little winger. Then our big summer signing in the form of the beast that is Pogba!!! Always wanted to have him and decided to splash the cash, the player going the other way in the deal was Fabregas who was average last year and Pogba is a direct replacement for him. Gaspar is a regen keeper from Portugal.


Outs

Leaving was a huge number of bang average players for small fees, most of the youngsters I managed to chuck in a 50% profit claim if they're sold. Costa left after moaning that I sold Cuevas. Willian left after I decided to take a gamble on keeping van Ginkel. Salah said he wanted to go, I tried to persuade him to stay but he said he wanted me to build the team around him.... no chance mate.

Out On Loan

All these players have a chance of breaking into the first team but I wanted them to gain some regular match day experience.


-------------------------------------------------------------------

League


Stoke 0 - 3 Chelsea

Hazard, Munir, Baker

Great start to the season, Izzy Browns out for a few weeks so Munir takes the role of lead striker and netted on his debut. Hazard and Baker also netted.



Chelsea 5 - 0 Leicester

Hazard, van Ginkel, Munir, Matic, Oscar

Stunning win. Great to see so many different goalscorers, Eden's goal won goal of the month and van Ginkel's came runner up!! Great performance.



Swansea 1 - 3 Chelsea

Odegaard, Hazard(2)

Good win, nice to see Odegaard netting. Eden Hazard has had a sensational start to the season.


--------------------------------------------------------------

Community Shield


Chelsea 2 - 3 Manchester United

Zouma, Terry

Absolutely fuming YET AGAIN WE THROW AWAY A 2 GOAL LEAD AGAINST UNITED FFS!! Falcao netted a hat-trick.



--------------------------------------------------------------------

Euro Super Cup Final


Chelsea 3 - 1 Gladbach

Hazard, Traore, Christensen

Tested out a funny tactic here, Munir and Brown were both away on International duty so I played Traore up front. It kind of worked but we allowed waaaay too many shots on target.


---------------------------------------------------------

Monthly Review


So a good start with our new squad. Pogba looks an immense talent, I know I paid a lot for him but I basically traded in Fabregas got a better and younger model. Munir has also got off to a good start which is good to see after a tough loan our at Villareal. Eden Hazard has now become the shining star of our team and seems to be loving it.

Here's our Champions League group(Steaua again(

Player Of The Month

Amazing month from the lad, goals galore.

A lot of changes but some great players brought in! a nice first month there but unlucky in the Community Shield

Class this, can you post a screenshot of your tactics and training ect please? You seem to get the best out of your players..

Thats my main one, I'm still tinkering with my away day tactic trying to limit the amount of shots the opponent have. Make sure you have really creative midfielders for this tactic to work, theyre the key.

Thanks, yeah I've always wanted to use Pogba he just looks so amazing. All about developing the youth for me though thats why I dont mind losing Fabregas and Costa too much. Munir and Pogba are more than capable replacements in the long term.

Woah that is a **** load of changes haha. Looking good!

Cheers, yeah felt it was needed to keep the save interesting. Costa is just so good its hard to drop him and I wanted to give Munir and Brown the chance. Both are good enough.

 

[diiv1989]

Hey dude great work your doing there with Chelsea especially with the youngsters coming threw in the first team. Going to give this a go on my game see if I can get the same results.
