How The Players Have Performed So Far
My Player of the Season So Far
Lewis Dunk
There is no one else who come close to him so far, been amazing at the back this season!
I have followed both this and your old Brighton thread since I have a save with them aswell. Haven't been a member on this site before so I thought I'd do something simialar myself. It's summer of 2015 and I won the Championship during my first season, scoring lots of goals and conceding a lot too, haha. Lost to Manchester City in the F.A. Cup Finale so I'll also play in the Europa League in the fall.
I have tried to get some of the players that you've bought to your club, but for the first season I mostly got players on loan. Mehdi Abeid (CM, Newcastle), Dedryck Boyata (CB, Manchester City), Todd Kane (RB, Chelsea), Joe Bennett (LB, Aston Villa), Jack Grealish (RW, Aston Villa) and Moi Gómez (CAM, Villareal), then I managed to buy Max Gradel from St. Etienne, Jesse Lingard from Manchester United, Gary Mackay-Steven from Dundee United (in the january transfer window) and Fernando Pachecho from Real Madrid (also in the january transfer window).
My outstanding players during the season were Sam Baldock, who scored 30 goals in the league and then Jesse Lingard who stepped up when Moi Gómez got injured during the fall will probably continue to play in that role in the Premier League this season. And then when I bought Pacheco from Real Madrid I really got a good first keeper which will continue to develop and become a really, really good keeper.
Now I have bought Dele Alli, Tyrone Mings, Matteo Bianchetti and Gueïda Fofana early in the summer transfer window. Will try to get a couple of more class players into the squad, like Alvarez Balanta, John Guidetti and Micah Richards. Will do a post like this in the next couple of days probably.

Transfers
And here is a round up of each player!
Martin Odegaard: I could not pass up the opportunity to bring in Martin and will hopefully be here for many years and can become a legend!
Rolando Aarons: I felt like we needed cover on the wings so i looked to Aarons, not being used by Newcastle meant i got him for a reasonable fee and hopefully he will prove to be a smart decision.
Jon Gaztanaga: Was on the transfer list so I had a look at his stats and I felt he can become a great composed player and can provide great competition.
Jose Rodriguez: Only on loan but feel he can provide good competition with the other players.
Sandro: We was short on strikers at the time so I brought in Sandro for cover but he will provide good competition while on loan
Roberto Insigne: Only on loan for the season but this is a player I will look at buying in the summer but at least this will give him the chance to get used to our system

BREAKING NEWS!
Brighton and Hove Albion manager Samuel Peters have signed a new contract extension that will keep him at the club until 2019
We caught up with Mr. Peters to get his comments
"I am delighted to have signed a new contract with the club I have supported as a boy and I am delighted Tony is backing me to take us to newer levels that has not been seen before at Brighton and Hove Albion."
We also caught up with the Chairman Tony Bloom to get his comments
"I am delighted that Sam has agreed a new contract here at Brighton and Hove Albion, I back him 100% to take us to bigger things and its great to have a manager who is just as much in love with the club as I am."
Unfortunately I will have to close down this thread due to my laptop messing up and now I cant open the save, it's been a good run, I may bring it back at some point later on with the new update but at the moment I will be focusing on my England save so people follow that please
