dayum, you got sacked and then re-hired yourself again I'm assuming? did you go into the interview wearing a mask or something

Nah i didnt use a mask but pictures of the owner cheating on his wifes helps ;)
but seriusly though yeah i rehired myself and its been working wonders with this new tactic. Does anybody feel like im cheating because of this? i will fire myself again if you think so. i will look again after the game tonight.
 
May I suggest the following tactic tweaks:

1. Dont play counter against teams of same level/at home.
2. With the players you have in defence playing with a BPD is suicidal - check each one of your cbs using the higlight attributes for bpd to see yourself. Basically what it means is that BPD goes walkabout with the ball trying to play out of defence. Plus you have two supporting players in mf (I know one is on DEFEND but he's a DLP so he supports when he has the ball) so you dont need him.
3. Try turning the attacking FB into a wing back.

Thomas Sörensen got injured at training before this match and is out for a month or so and Ben Amos has been playing the rest of this month and man is he bad. i will look to sell him and sign two goalkeepers in stead och keeping them as Sörensen will probably retire soon. he is 37 now.

Transfers

we signed two players were one will go straight in to the team when his contracts ends and the other one is a striker with great potential.


The player who already joined us is the 18 year old striker which looks great to the future as a back up to Watt and Macheda and his name is Nicky O'Halloran
View attachment 375296

And the second player who will join our team for the next season but im very insecure about this player because of his age but he is Diego Rivas

And here is our sales list plus some loans that are of no important.

do i need to say anything? as a 20 year old doing this good shows that he has some talent hopefully he can keep going up with his stats. this was also my pick for POTS

he did have an amazing season and the fans thought so too.

Team of the season

View attachment 375483
Tony haven't even played fifty games and is already scoring goals like its nobody's business. if i can keep him here for the rest of his career we might have a legend on our side.

Transfer


We brought in Rivas on a free but as i saw one of my favorites player getting out of contract i managed to steal him from Birmingham for a free. It is probably the most money i ever saved on FM because otherwise i am just big spending clubs and pay overprice for everybody.
but he is Nathan Redmond

I didn't think that this Story even would make it this far or even be this popular so it makes me happy to see that you are enjoying it and when i start school again im gonna try to make English teacher read this so i can have it as a kind of school project but sadly i don't have a laptop but i will fix it if she lets me have this a a project.

The Squad

The squad is a four parted post that will show you all my players in the a-team and their stats and potential ability.

the Goalkeepers will be first and will do it here.



Goalkeepers

View attachment 375488
38 Years old

He isn't getting younger but if we don't sign anyone he will be our first goalkeeper and he has been great the two season he has been here.


View attachment 375489
24 Years old

​he is really close to beating Sörensen to the first position but as it sits right now Sörensen is still the first pick

View attachment 375492
30 Years old

he wont get any playing time soon. Let just leave it at that.



Should i do youngsters too? please let med know and i will start on defenders right away.​
 
The Squad
i forgot to explain on the goalkeepers why i have the ratings and everything and that is to show how important that player has been to the team.
Fullbacks

View attachment 375493
25 Years old

he has been our main man on the right Fullback and he has truly taking advantage of it and if he has another good season we might see him in the Wales NT

View attachment 375494
24 Years old

Blake has been so magnificent to keep Sam out of the team bur he will get playing time in the Capital One Cup.

View attachment 375495
24 Years old

Ward has basicly been the reserve for Blake together with Sam.

View attachment 375496
25 Years old

Parr has been great this season playing all over the left side.

View attachment 375497
20 Years old

he has been Parr´s reserve and have done well when getting playing time and bagging his first goal for the club.

View attachment 375498
20 Years old

he hasn't got any playing time and i am trying to get him out on loan.

Center Backs

View attachment 375499
24 Years old

Smith was a signing worth while as he has been the best CB this season pulling of seamless impossible tackles and doing some damage on the set pieces.

View attachment 375500
32 Years old

he is absolute class but sadly he is getting older and is closing in on his retirement.

View attachment 375501
31 Years old

he is the reserve and is pretty much as good as Delaney only reason he is not getting the same rating is because of his limited playing time.

View attachment 375502
30 Years old

he hasn't been as great and he hasn't got much playing time. he is definitely not getting more playtime at the moment either.

View attachment 375503
19 Years old

he is our future star defender but he needs playing time and im thinking of playing him and Sam in the middle in the Capital one Cup.


That was all the defenders and yes i know i forgot about the stars but its of no importance as o fright now because you have the team picture to see by​
 
The Squad

Wingers

View attachment 375507
20 Years old

he hasn't even played yet but im sure he will be the best winger we have next season.

View attachment 375508
20 Years old

Murray will have a much harder fight to reach the starting eleven this season but we will see what he can do.

View attachment 375510
25 Years old

he hasn't got much playing time but seem to score every time he is playing.

Central Midfielders

View attachment 375511
26 Years old

he has been great and a very important player.

View attachment 375513
26 Years old

He has been the player to go too on the left winger position but i think he will have a hard time playing there this year.

View attachment 375514
29 Years old

He hasn't been heard of this season but has still done all work in the shadows and buildt up plays.

View attachment 375516
27 Years old

he has been gone pretty much the whole season with injuries so i don't know what to expect from him.

View attachment 375518
23 Years old

he has been starting to get some playing time and can pretty much be sure of seeing him in the Capital One Cup.

View attachment 375519
18 Years old

A youngster who has been on loan the 2 season we played and he looks ready to get some playing time in the cups and in the league.

View attachment 375521
34 Years old

i don't know if this was a good signing overall but we will have to wait and see to after the friendlies.


Nexrt one up is the strikers but i will eat first so it will be maybe an hour or so.​
