March 2014 Youth Intake

View attachment 311541View attachment 311543View attachment 311544

Cerezo definetly has the chance to become a good squad player for the team but the main star for me is Escobar! He looks incredible and can play in 3 positions i have in my tactic which is brilliant, i remember in my Dinamo save i always got good wingers even though i didnt play with wingers! The moment Escobar signed his contract the moaning Destro was put up for sale and dropped to the reserves, he had been complaining all season but i was never going to play him ahead of Falcao, Escobar will be getting game time even in the next few weeks.

I suppose the only good thing about being in debt is you have to use your youth recruits as you cant just go out and buy another £30 million striker.​

6 points clear but Barcelona have a game in hand but their recent form has been just as good as ours but at least Falcao is running away with the goalscorer award.

Sporting 2 - 2 At Madrid
Falcao 2 Insigne 68

We went ahea early then shut off and Sporting bashed in 2 quick goals but sub Insigne managed to grab a point for us we are so close to retaining the league but dont seem to want to at the moment.

La Liga Table and Stats

View attachment 311596View attachment 311597View attachment 311598

3 games to go and 6 points clear means we only need one more win but with the Spanish Cup Final coming up the reserves may have the chance to win the league for us, as you can see Barcelonas form has tumbled towards the end of the season after such a brilliant unbeaten start, Falcao has 31 league goals in 35 league games and im just impressed he hasnt missed any games this season through injury.

Escobar has had a brilliant first month with the club and at only 16 has many more to come!​

Spanish Cup Final

At Madrid 1 - 1 Real Madrid
Rodriguez 50 Koke sent off 60
Won on Pens 4-2

An amazing victory as we win the Cup for the first time in almost 20 years even though naughty boy Koke gets sent off for the 2nd game in a row! We had to shut up shop after the sending off but didnt break a sweat in the penalties as they missed plenty!

The Squad

View attachment 311607

Our Top Goalscorer Falcao

View attachment 311608

39 goals this season for Falcao and he could have got more! He has been a threat going forward every game and hasnt had many bad patches of form like he did last season.

Top Assists Insigne

View attachment 311609

19 assits and 12 goals and Insigne must be one of the best free transfers i have ever made and at 22 is only just getting started.

Falcao is Top Goalscorer of La Liga

La Liga Team of the Year

View attachment 311611

Falcao was an obvious choice but Godin was a bit of a suprise but i dont know why Insigne or Rodriguez made it especially after how poor Real Madrid had been and half the team is theirs!

Players In

View attachment 311679

Up for sale and i got him for just shy of £20 million but at 22 and a 5 star quality he will be my Number 1 for years to come.

View attachment 311680

Was signed on a pre contract in january as i needed depth in the LB position with Fabio only on loan if i knew i would be getting the next player i would have not signed him

View attachment 311681

Ashley Cole is perfect for my team as despite his age he will get game time when Filipe is injured or fatigued.

View attachment 311682

This yong german CB was offered to me and seems like he could be a good one for the future.


Transfer History

View attachment 311684

Perez, Ospina and Destro all leave for good money especially as they didnt cost me anything with some of the youth coming through they were not needed and is meant i could sign Stegen.

La Liga Transfers

View attachment 311685

Biggest news is Real Madrid letting Varane go but they did manage to sign Poacher Hernandez from Man Utd, Barcelona yet again dont spend any big money.​

La Liga Odds

View attachment 311690

Barcelona are favourites again and have every right to be, after winning the league two years in a row we are above Real in the odds at least.


Your Not Having Him Barca!

View attachment 311691

La Liga
16/08/2014
Barcelona 1 - 0 At Madrid

I thought we had secured an important draw away from home in our first game of the season but it wasnt to be as Messi grabs the winner in the 93rd minute.

Spanish Super Cup 1st leg
21/08/2014
Real Madrid 1 - 1 At Madrid
Falcao 10

A good result away from home, probably the two toughest matches all season are the openers! We should be able to beat them when they come to our place.

La Liga
24/08/2014
At Madrid 2 - 1 Real Betis
Falcao 55, 78

A lucky win as Falcao wins this match by himself we are lucky he has hit the ground running this season unlike some of the other players.

Spanish Super Cup 2nd leg
27/08/2014
At Madrid 1 - 0 Real Madrid
Arda Turan 81

A late goal from Turan means we win the Spanish Super Cup for the first time in my reign and hit a massive blow to Real Madrids confidence!

La Liga
31/08/2014
Valencia 0 - 1 At Madrid
Falcao 22

Yet again Falcao proves the difference and he has shown how important he is to us already this season.

Player of the Month

Falcao has won us 6 points in the league by himself and already has 4 goals this season.​

September 2014

First off is the draw for the Champions League Group stages were we are a top seed

At Madrid
Benfica
Werder Bremen
Basel

A very easy group compaired to some of the others around a win against Benfica will be key but the other two wont stand much of a chance.

La Liga
13/09/2014
At Madrid 1 - 0 Sporting
Koke 55

A good long range effort from our DMC gets us another 3 points as we continue to win ugly.

Champions League Group Stage
16/09/2014
Basel 0 - 4 At Madrid
Rodriguez 6, 13 Falcao 17, 87

Well this match against the group whipping boys was even easier than as expected as we destroy them before 20 minutes has gone.

La Liga
21/09/2014
Athletic 0 - 2 At Madrid
Koke 82 Falcao 86

Unlike the last game we leave it til late to show our dominance and pick up yet another 3 points we dont really deserve.

La Liga
28/09/2014
At Madrid 1 - 0 Racing
Falcao 31

Falcao grabs us another 3 points hopefully some of our attacking players can get their acts together and we can start winning some of these league games more easily like Barca and Real.

La Liga Table and Stats

View attachment 311771View attachment 311772View attachment 311773

With both Real and Barca picking up draws we are only 1 point behind after 6 games which after the form we have been in is pretty good, Falcao is top goalscorer but the likes of Insigne, Turan and Rodriguez really need to start performing if we are to retain the league again.

Player of the Month

View attachment 311774

4 goals in 4 games and he is one of the only players in any sort of decent form at the moment, i could also pick new GK Ter Stegen as he now has 6 clean sheets in a row.​

 

[coolmcool]

Next 3 months will be up tonight

 

[coolmcool]

Will try to power through all of the updates tommorow getting excited for next season as have no fewer than 3 Barcelona players joining on free transfers at the end of the season

Champions League Group Stage

La Liga
05/10/2014
Granada 1 - 3 At Madrid
Arda Turan 18, 90 Papa 93

We were looking at dropped points here until Arda Turan popped up and then Papa still had chance to net another

La Liga
19/10/2014
At Madrid 2 - 1 Mallorca
Rodriguez 9 Arda Turan 65

Falcao is currently on a mini slump and has played poorly yet Arda Turan has been brilliant and showed some wonderful skill.

Champions League Group Stage

Benfica 2 - 0 At Madrid

Never have any luck against Benfica

La Liga
25/10/2014
At Madrid 3 - 2 Real Madrid
Diego Godin 8 Filipe 32 Diego Costa 45

A very good win against fierce rivals Real and all the scorers were rather unexpected ones.

Spanish Cup 4th rnd 1st leg
29/10/2014
At Baleares 4 - 1 At Madrid
Falcao 4, 18 Oliver 55, 73

A reserve team bar Falcao ripped them apart and even young AMC Oliver grabbed a brace, hopefully these goals from Falcao will see him back to good form.


La Liga Table and Stats

View attachment 312189View attachment 312191View attachment 312190

2 points clear at this early stage means nothing and Barcelona are on fire at the moment, we have our new GK and defence to thank for our early form as we have not conceded many in the league but not score much either.

Player of the Month
View attachment 312192

Arda Turan has scored 3 goals this month which have won us 6 points, he scores important goals at the right time.​

A rather boring match but we grab another 3 points and yet another clean sheet for Stegen.

A bore draw but this point means a win against Basel and we are through to the knockouts with a game in hand.

La Liga
08/11/2014
Espanyol 1 - 2 At Madrid
Diego Godin 22 Falcao 71

After 6 games without a goal in the league Falcao managed to pop up and score us the winner and keep us top of the league.

La Liga
16/11/2014
Levante 2 - 2 At Madrid
Suarez 40 Adrian 52

This is a poor result but we did manage to come from 2 behind after Levante destroyed our defence in the opening minutes.

La Liga
22/11/2014
At Madrid 2 - 0 Sevilla
Falcao 72 Diego Godin 82

2 late goals keep us on track to stay top of the league ahead of Barca who are just starting to falter and have had some poor results recently.

Champions League Group Stage
26/11/2014
At Madrid 6 - 0 Basel
Falcao 36, 46, 48, 59, 77 Arda Turan 45

What a goalscoring display from Falcao at least this has helped his goal to game ratio stats and helped us qualify for the knockout stages.

La Liga
30/11/2014
At Madrid 2 - 0 Deportivo
Diego Godin 17, 30

CB Godin manages to score the same goal twice both from free kicks and beautifully driven headers into the far corner.

La Liga Table and Stats

View attachment 312361View attachment 312362View attachment 312363

6 points clear of Barca as they draw 3 matches this month and our form has been near perfect, as you can see Falcao has not scored the goals he usually does in the league this season and Insigne has not even got any assists let alone scored this season!

Player of the Month

A bad result but Escobar manages to grab his first goal of the season he does have 6 assists though, Oliver and Pachecho have both done well recently.

La Liga
06/12/2014
Rayo 3 - 0 At Madrid

Well i dont know what to say a terrible result/match/performance the players were even rested after the reserves played the cup game.

Champions League Group Stage
09/12/2014
Werder Bremen 4 - 2 Suarez 34 Papa 53

We get a couple of goals even though this result means little to our standings it was still a bad result.

We have drawn Man City in the next round which is worse than it seems as they have won the Champions League 2 years in a row!

La Liga
14/12/2014
R. Sociedad 1 - 2 At Madrid
Falcao 65, 90

Finally we pick up a win after a massive 3 games without one! Falcao pops up with a very late header to gain us the 3 points.

Spanish Cup 5th rnd 1st leg
17/12/2014
At Madrid 0 - 0 Barcelona
Koke sent off 52

What was already an impossible task was made harder from Koke's sending off and we had to shut down and defend and the home game was the only chance of winning the match as we will never get a win at their place.

La Liga
20/12/2014
At Madrid 0 - 0 Malaga
Gabi sent off 34

Another bad result as Gabi tries to ruin another game, a point is a point we are lucky Barcelona have been poor to.

Spanish Cup 5th rnd 2nd leg
23/12/2014
Barcelona 4 - 1 At Madrid
Falcao 85

Barcelona or should i say Messi do what i expected and destroy us at the Nou Camp and Falcao gets a mere consolation goal.


So a terrible month my worst since i started 1 win in 7, i didnt even grab the screenshots i must have been that annoyed at the time!

January 2015 Transfer Window

A change in expectations i declined as i felt we had enough money which would yet again be spent on free transfers for the summer.

View attachment 312957

Only 2 players left, Miranda joined a brazilian club on loan as he is out of the first team picture and Tremoulais got sold for £1.5 million as he never played.

The only player to come in was a young prospect GK Tarantino if he will ever develop with Stegen around is another thing.

View attachment 312953

The Pain In My **** that is Barcelona! After signing Insigne on a free i had no idea he had such a low release clause which Barca activated, so i had to offer him a better contract immediately and after a nervy few days Insigne decided to stay

Not the result i wanted to start the new year i thought we had grabbed a draw with not long to go but they knocked in a late winner.


La Liga
10/01/2015
Osasuna 1 - 3 At Madrid
Filipe 22 Falcao 25 Insigne 91

A harder match than we needed to make it with Insigne grabbing a late goal after a nervy 65 minutes of only having a one goal lead.

La Liga
17/01/2015
At Madrid 2 - 0 Barcelona
Falcao 63 Koke 94

An important win as both teams have had indifferent form but Falcao gets us the winner and Koke makes it look impressive. Not having any Spanish Cup games to contend with like Barcelona probably helped in this fixture.

La Liga
25/01/2015
Real Betis 1 - 3 At Madrid
Falcao 9, 54 Insigne 34

A comfortable victory and we end the month much more impressively than we started it, Insigne scores only his second goal of the season after grabbing his first 2 games before.

10 points clear at the top after Barcelona and Real both suffer terrible form even worse than our recent record in the league, Messi is back on form again for Barcelona this season Falcao and Rodriguez have both had good seasons compared to Insigne!

La Liga
15/02/2015

Diego Godin has definetly taken the role of goalscoring CB from Miranda and always looks a threat from set pieces.

Great story! Cracking results! Top dog in spain after only 3 seasons!!! Didn't know merlin had decided to become a manager!!!

Definetly been easier than expected has helped that Barca and Real have spent little on transfers but originally i thought beyond Falcao the team would be poor but they have been pretty good, the basic tactic with wingers always seems to work well on this version of FM right through from my Wolves, Dnipro and Man Utd stories
