Great start to the season! Sad to see Loftus-Cheek getting injured for such a long time, hope his development wont be impaired too much by it.

Patchy form this month
Leaky defence costs us dear
Jacob Maddox scores first career goal
League
Newcastle 1 - 2 Chelsea
Remy(2)
Tight game against the Toon, Remy was moaning about lack of game time and with Costa misfiring I gave him a chance and he done well!!
Chelsea 1 - 1 Crystal Palace
Oscar
A last minute goal by Bolasie cost us 2 points here. Really disappointing!!
Stoke 2 - 3 Chelsea
Remy(2), Willian
Crazy game in which I'm glad to walk away with the 3 points. Remy impressing again, but our backline once again not doing well as we conceded cheap goals.
Chelsea 2 - 2 Watford
Hazard, Ramires
Threw away a two goal lead here... don't quite know what to say. Infuriating.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
League Cup
Burnley 1 - 1 Chelsea
Burnley win 5-4 on pens
Maddox
Jacob Maddox netted a cracking goal here and had a great match along with Kyle Scott in centre midfield. Just a shame our wingers done nothing all game!!
Our young lads done pretty well, was a tight game.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Champions League
Chelsea 1 - 0 Red Bull Salzburg
Pedro
Closer than I thought but we had to win today and did nicely.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Monthly Review
Kinda fuming with our defending this month. Leaking goals like nothing and its infuriating. Costa's doing my head in too and I may try to move him on come January and maybe bring in a top youth striker. That would leave me with Remy, Traore and the new signing. I refuse to count Falcao. Remy's done well after complaining about lack of game time, Willian also had a bit of a moan up so I'll rotate him a bit more with Kenedy on the right wing.
Our Champions League group is still very tight but with that win over Salzburg has pulled us a bit clear.
Player of the Month
Jacob Maddox
The 16 year old has notched up 4 appearances this month and scored a corker in the league cup.
Tables
Sunderland winless. We're two points behind United from the top. Looks like its gonna be a three way battle for the title this season..
Still very very tight...

Chelsea Rocked By Hazard Injury
Chelsea have been rocked by an injury to star player Eden Hazard.
Hazard was away on International duty 30 minutes into the tie against France. It was later revealed Hazard had actually broken his foot and will be out for a whopping 5 months.

Better month as we tighten up at the back
Diego Costa cheers up and starts smashing in goals again
Secure Champions League qualification
League
Swansea 0 - 2 Chelsea
Costa, Kenedy
Great result away from home against a good side. Goals from Costa and Kenedy winning it for us.
Chelsea 4 - 0 Bournemouth
Costa(3), Ward OG
Brilliant win here. Costa was on absolute fire and 3 goals from the team in the second half was good to see. Ola Aina was immense for the Ward own goal as he rinsed the left back and drilled it across the box.
Leicester 5 - 0 Chelsea
Willian, Remy(2), Costa, Pedro
Played a brilliant counter attacking game here against them. Costa and Remy worked well up front together and probably our best performance this season.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Champions League
Red Bull Salzburg 3 - 4 Chelsea
Willian(3), Ramires
WHAT A MATCH. A superb game of football which had everything. Willian was brilliant for all his goals and Ramires' goal was a very well worked free kick.
Lazio 1 - 1 Chelsea
Costa
A very tight match, draw was a fair result.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Monthly Review
Much better month than the last one! Three clean sheets in the league and we managed to secure qualification. Diego Costa finally dropped his problem with me and focused on his game and won the BPL Player of the Month. Kenedy also impressed out on the right wing and is really asserting himself to the point where I'll probably sell one of Pedro, Oscar or Willian in January.
In other news I signed a new contract with the club after my good start apparently. So a bit of job security there, I also have a £100m war chest so any recommended signings let me know.

Diego Costa
The beast has calmed down and focused on his game again. Great to see, on his day he's unstoppable and we really needed him after Hazard's injury.

Managed to grab first place after United amazingly lost to Sunderland!!
A draw against Porto will secure top spot.

December 2015
Packed Christmas schedule as we play United twice and City in 9 days
Costa and Remy's goal spree continues
Ruben Loftus-Cheek makes his return from injury
League
Chelsea 2 - 0 Norwich
Pedro, Costa
Norwich have been performing well above expectations and were sitting in 5th when we played them so a solid win and a clean sheet to boot was good to see.
West Ham 1 - 2 Chelsea
Remy(PEN), Pedro
Another game and another goal for Pedro. Remy slotted home the penalty nicely after Costa was hacked down by Reid. West Ham were 4th before this match.
Chelsea 2 - 2 Southampton
Remy(2)
After going down two nil I was happy to walk away with a point thanks to Remy.
Chelsea 1 - 1 Manchester United
Remy
Another goal for Remy, this one after 2 minutes. Depay equalised for them after 10 minutes and the rest of the match was a bit of a bore.
Chelsea 2 - 2 Manchester City
Kenedy, Zouma
Tight match if you look at the stats. But its always annoying to throw away a 2 goal lead, especially conceding at the end like we did.
Manchester United 2 - 3 Chelsea
Costa(2), Remy
Thrilling match. Very tight and could have gone either way, but when Diego Costa's on form he's almost impossible to stop.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Champions League
Chelsea 3 - 2 FC Porto
Costa, Willian(2)
A tidy win to finish top of our group. Goals from Behrami in the first minute and 88th minute for Porto weren't enough as Willian and Costa ran the show.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Monthly Review
In a month filled with tough fixtures to come through without a defeat is a great achievement. Remy had a stunning month notching 5 goals. Costa grabbed 3 too. Ruben Loftus-Cheek made his comeback too, it'll take a bit to get him match fit again though but he made 3 sub appearances this month.
Anyway lets have a look at our Champions League draw:
Ahhhh **** it, had to be Barca didn't it...

Loic Remy
Great month for the Frenchman, 11 goals in 11 starts this season for us.

Starting to pull clear of the chasing pack, thanks to that win over United. But if only we'd of beaten City, we'd be well clear.

January 2016
Oscar sold as I sign two players
Costa's head turned by Madrid but no bid came
Stunning form continues
Transfers
Ins
Two young centre midfielders joined us. Youri Tielemans will rotate with Cesc Fabregas at the advanced playmaker role and Dele Alli will be our new roaming playmaker.
Both look like they could develop into brilliant players.
Outs
Just one player sold. Oscar left us for £21m to go to United. He's been poor this season and his wages are ridiculous for what he was offering to the club on the field.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
League
Aston Villa 1 - 2 Chelsea
Willian, Remy
New Years Day game was a good one with Villa playing well, but goals from those two boys again get us the three points.
Chelsea 2 - 0 West Brom
Costa, Remy
Costa netted early on. We dominated the rest of the match and Remy put some gloss on the performance with a stunning strike in the 90th minute.
Everton 0 - 2 Chelsea
Pedro, Costa
Two early goals won it for us, boring game other than that.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
FA Cup
Third Round
Blackburn 0 - 3 Chelsea
Traore, Kenedy(2)
Managed to field a lot of the youngsters here and we got a great win too. Dele Alli and Tielemans had great debuts.
Fourth Round
Chelsea 2 - 0 Everton
Jagielka OG, Remy
Looked like it was heading for a 0-0 until Robles booted the ball off Jagielka and the ball pinged off him into the back of the net!! Remy scored in the 90th minute to make it look good but in general is was a poor game.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Monthly Review
Wins all round this month but no real challenging games. Quite happy with my business in the window as Tielemans and Dele Alli look like absolute steals, shame I couldn't get more for Oscar but his wages were insane and he'd been so average all season. Here's a screenshot of my two teams
I'd say this is my ''strongest 11'' but Kenedy can start at right wing easily ahead of Willian. Hazard would take up that left wing spot when fit.
This would be my second choice 11, mainly used in the cup. I do rotate a fair bit though depending on fitness.

League games against Arsenal and Liverpool this month
Pedro comes back to haunt Barca at the Nou Camp
Remy and Costa smash in 12 goals this month between them
League
Chelsea 2 - 2 Liverpool
Costa(2)
Very tight game against Liverpool, Costa opened the scoring but a brace from ex Chelsea boy Danny Sturridge gave them the lead. Into the last ten minutes and Skrtel was running back towards his goal, he played a loose ball back to Mignolet and Costa reacted quickly latching onto it and slotting home.
Arsenal 1 - 5 Chelsea
Remy(2), Costa(2), Willian
We played the perfect counter attacking game here against them. No point trying to go to the Emirates and dominate is there, we soaked up the pressure and hit them quickly on the break exploiting the width and lack of pace Monreal and Ivanovic have. Perfect performance.
Chelsea 4 - 3 Tottenham
Maksimovic OG, Kenedy(2), Costa
Spurs didn't deserve their 3 goals, main thing was we walked away here with the 3 points.
Sunderland 0 - 1 Chelsea
Remy(PEN)
Awful performance from us here. Sunderland are rock bottom and destined for relegation, Ramires and Tielemans dominated though but we really struggled in the final third.
Chelsea 2 - 0 Newcastle
Costa, Kenedy
Straight forward win here. Goals from Kenedy and Costa in both halves. Starts for Ola Aina, Jay DaSilva, RLC, Tielemans and Dele Alli.
---------------------------------------------------------------
FA Cup
Fifth Round
Chelsea 2 - 0 Derby
Remy(PEN), Ramires
Simple win here and managed to rest a number of players in prep for the Barcelona match too.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Champions League
1st Knockout Round First Leg
Barcelona 1 - 4 Chelsea
Pedro(2), Remy(2)
A stunning win here against Barca. They're struggling in La Liga this season with Atleti leading the way. But when we went 1-0 down in the 1st minute I feared the worst. But a brace from Pedro and that guy Remy has surely wrapped up this tie already.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Monthly Review
A great month with wins over Arsenal, Spurs and Barcelona. Even giving Ola Aina a start at right back against Neymar for crying out loud and he managed to keep the Brazilian quiet. In the league United are slacking massively and barring a huge collapse we should win the league this year which is awesome.
We have Watford in the next round of the FA Cup just 4 days before the 2nd leg of the already wrapped up Barcelona tie. In other news I secured a signing for us to join in the summer, another top English central midfielder to join our ranks meaning we'll probably offload Cesc Fabregas.
Player of the Month
Ramires
At the start of the season I didn't know quite what to do with the Brazilian. But he's been a cracking player for us this year, can always rely on him to give 100%. His pass for Pedro's first goal against Barca was absolutely magical.

1st Knockout Round Second Leg
Chelsea 2 - 1 Barcelona
Kenedy, Pedro
Slighty tighter this one but we still deserved our win. Pedro netting again as we knocked out reigning Champions Barca!!
------------------------------------------------------------
Monthly Review
Only 4 matches this month, we were winless in the league after that disappointing loss to Palace and Watford managing to hold us even after our weaker team dominated them in the FA Cup. In the Champions League we saw past Barca with ease, Kenedy really impressing in such a big tie.
Anyway here's the draw for the Quarters:
From one Spanish giant to another.... good news is Bale will be out injured for both legs, so just Ronaldo, Benzema, Modric, Kroos, James and Isco to worry about.
Youth Intake
One player who looks like he may be half decent, meet Antony Blair.
As I don't play with a CAM I'm gonna try and convert him into a natural striker.
Player of the Month
Kenedy
The Brazilian winger has been superb all season but shone this month playing well and notching 2 more goals.
Table
United cut the lead to 10 points. Sunderland and Bournemouth are pretty much gone leaving West Brom, Leicester and Southampton to battle it out for that last spot in the bottom 3.

Real mixed bag of results in the league
Tough times against Real Madrid
Penalties needed to split us and Southampton in the FA Cup
League
Chelsea 1 - 0 Swansea
Hazard(PEN)
Hazard nets his first goal back from injury to get us a key 3 points against a good Swansea side.
Bournemouth 0 - 2 Chelsea
Kenedy, Dele Alli
Sandwiched between the two Madrid ties I rested key players here. It didn't matter though as goals from Kenedy and a first Chelsea goal for Dele Alli won us the game.
Chelsea 0 - 1 Leicester
If we'd have won this we would have secured the league. Sadly we choked against a team battling relegation!!!
Norwich 1 - 0 Chelsea
Another loss!!! Whats going on!?! Another chance to wrap up the title but we choked again. We weren't helped by Baba being sent off.
Chelsea 2 - 0 West Ham
Costa, Terry
Champions!!!! And well deserved too as we gave West Ham a real battering here. Fitting JT, who's contract is up at the end of the season, scored the goal which wrapped up the title.

Willian
Tight match.. shame we conceded but with Ronaldo playing up front if was always gonna happen. Still all to play for in the second leg...
Quarter Final 2nd Leg
Real Madrid 3 - 2 Chelsea
Madrid win 4-3 on agg
Willian, Costa
We were hardly dominated, was a pretty open game and we were just 1 goal off nicking it on away goals. No shame going out to such a great team.

FA Cup
Semi Final
Chelsea 0 - 0 Southampton
Chelsea win on PENS
Possible the most boring game I've ever seen. 2 shots on target each in 120 minutes of football... we held our nerve in the shoot out and face City in the final.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monthly Review
Our league form has been a bit rocky the last couple of months but we did finally manage to wrap up the title at the end of this month against bitter rivals West Ham!! Now I can rest key players in prep for the Manchester City tie in the FA Cup final.
Bit of a shame to be beaten by Madrid but they were the better side, even a 16 year old regen netted for them against us and he looks like one to watch out for in the future.
Sunderland and Bournemouth have both now been relegated with either West Brom, Palace or Leicester set to join them.
Player of the Month
Nemanja Matic
The big Serb is never spectacular but always reliable. Screening the back line and distributing well.

Champions!!!!!!!!!!
Real mixed bag of results in the league
Tough times against Real Madrid
Penalties needed to split us and Southampton in the FA Cup
League
Chelsea 1 - 0 Swansea
Hazard(PEN)
Hazard nets his first goal back from injury to get us a key 3 points against a good Swansea side.
Bournemouth 0 - 2 Chelsea
Kenedy, Dele Alli
Sandwiched between the two Madrid ties I rested key players here. It didn't matter though as goals from Kenedy and a first Chelsea goal for Dele Alli won us the game.
Chelsea 0 - 1 Leicester
If we'd have won this we would have secured the league. Sadly we choked against a team battling relegation!!!
Norwich 1 - 0 Chelsea
Another loss!!! Whats going on!?! Another chance to wrap up the title but we choked again. We weren't helped by Baba being sent off.
Chelsea 2 - 0 West Ham
Costa, Terry
Champions!!!! And well deserved too as we gave West Ham a real battering here. Fitting JT, who's contract is up at the end of the season, scored the goal which wrapped up the title.

May and End Of Season Awards
Musonda shines against Stoke
FA Cup Final goes to penalties
End of season awards a strange one
League
Chelsea 3 - 1 Stoke
Rahman, Remy, Musonda
Charly Musonda rescued us from the bench here!! An assist and a cracking goal to boot.
Southampton 1 - 3 Chelsea
Remy(2), Costa
Another comeback here. My counter tactic working a peach.
Manchester City 1 - 1 Chelsea
Costa
A trial run for the FA Cup Final and a tight final BPL game. Makes for an interesting final....
--------------------------------------------------------------------
FA Cup Final
Chelsea 1 - 1 Manchester City
Hazard
A close game but we managed to nick it on penalties thanks for Courtois' heroics saving David Silva's spot kick.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
End Of Season Awards and Squad
Final League Table
Costa finished just one goal behind Harry Kane who's attracting all kinds of interest already from City and other clubs. Everton pipped City to the Champions League spot too. Sunderland finished rock bottom and Palace ended up relegated by a single goal!!!
Squad
Remy and Costa were absolutely lethal up front. Its a shame both may end up being sold with Bamford and Solanke coming back from their loan spells. Hazard was impressive just a shame about his injury. Azpi was incredible as always. Zouma impressed at the back, shame the same can't be said for Terry and Cahill who will be released and sold respectively.
End of Season Awards
So, Costa won Player of the Season but wasn't included in the TOTY. Ola Aina was favoured at right back with Azpi at left back. RLC was included even though he missed a chunk of the season through injury.

Cesar Azpilicueta Named New Chelsea Captain
Chelsea have today announced that Spanish full back Cesar Azpilicueta will be the new club captain.
''Dave'' joined the club back in the summer of 2012 for a fee of £6.5m from OM. Although not a first choice pick at first, Cesar shone when given the chance and has been a key player for a number of years now developing into one of the best full backs in the world.
Thibaut Courtois is believed to be vice-captain.

Transfers and 2016/17 Squad
Transfers
Ins
A lot spent in the window and you'll see why when you see who we sold. Morata joined for a huge fee, they wanted £70m at first but I managed to bring them down. Kovacic and James Ward-Prowse also joined us for big fees and will be key players in the middle of the park. Everyone from Pickwell down are 16 year old regens who will be in the under 21's squad for this season.
Out
So I guess this list is a tad more interesting. Costa left for a whopping £60m, his attitude bugged me even with all his goals. Remy was gonna hit 30 soon and I felt like I wanted to cash in on him. Fabregas and Pedro were both 29, as was Ramires and I wanted younger players to be given a chance. Cahill was bad last year and Begovic wanted to leave. The rest were all players who were out on loan last season and weren't ever gonna get a game.
Out on Loan
Musonda and Ola Aina would have struggled to get a match this season and I wanted them to get a full season of games. Same for Izzy Brown, Bamford, Boga Baker!! The rest I just couldn't offload for a fee so left on loan deals.
Squad
Goalkeepers
Courtois is our obvious first choice, Mitchell Beeney will be his debuty.
Defenders
Azpi and Manea will be our right backs this season. Zouma and Laporte will be our first choice centre backs with Kalas as third choice. Ake, the Chalobah brothers can play their too. Baba Rahman is our first choice left back with Jay Dasilva his back up.
Midfielders
Flooded with some serious young talent here. My three centre midfielders roles are up for grabs with so much English talent along with Tielemans and Kovacic.
Attackers
Another area we are absolutely flooded with young talent. Morata is our best striker but that doesn't mean Solanke and Traore wont get their chances this season. Kenedy will play right wing mainly.
