Chelsea F.C - Youth First

[AndySams10]

Like the concept of this story mate. I've said a lot this season Chelsea should perhaps look to the youth to get them out if the situation their in. Maybe Jose should start looking at this story!! Haha.

Keep up the good work mate, really enjoying it(despite being a spurs fan!!)

I'd much rather we lost 3-0 and played players who give a **** than the likes of Fabregas, Pedro ect. honestly whats RLC gotta do to get a game? Borrow Ivanovic's nude pics of jose that useless ***** must have to keep getting picked.

Thanks for the support on the story though

April 2018

Title wrapped up but not without a small hiccup
More drama still in the Champions League
Kenedy's stunning form continues



League


Leicester 2 - 0 Chelsea


Honestly got run ragged by Jamie Vardy here. He's had a cracking few years for the Foxes and Jay Dasilva just couldn't handle him out wide.



Liverpool 1 - 2 Chelsea

Kenedy, Odegaard

Title was wrapped up here. Started Kenedy up front with Pickwell and Izzy Brown struggling a tad for form and he didn't let me down. Odegaard has been a great signing on loan and I'll definitely try and sign him this summer.



Chelsea 4 - 0 Spurs

Kenedy(2), Ward-Prowse, Brown

Smashed them here, Kenedy was on fire once more out wide on the right hand side smashing in two stunning goals. The boys been incredible this season.



Aston Villa 2 - 1 Chelsea

Pickwell

Rested my whole first team here due to important games 3 days before and 4 days after this fixture, Pickwell netted after coming off the bench but Diouf's brace condemned us to defeat.


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

Champions League


Quarter Final 2nd Leg

Chelsea 4 - 1 Bayern

Matip OG, Kenedy, Dasilva, Pickwell

Boom!!!! Talk about taking your chances here though. We did they didn't. My front 3 were in irresistible form. Juve in the next round...



Semi Final 1st Leg

Chelsea 2 - 2 Juventus

Kenedy, Pickwell

**** sakes :/ to take a two goal lead and throw it away and in the process conceding 2 away goals is gutting. Gonna take a big performance in Turin to get us into that final.


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

Monthly Review


Good month. Was very nice to secure the title. No ones got near to us this year, think its jointly down to our stunning form and everyone else being quite poor too. City have properly bottled it in their last few matches. I was so impressed to see us dismantle Bayern like that in the Champions League, but to collapse against Juve like that was annoying. They have won Serie A every year since 2012 now mind... Depay looks incredible too.

Pickwell and Kenedy have been amazing this month. 8 goals between them. Pickwell has pretty much laid claim to that strikers role. Izzy Brown has done alright, been deployed out wide on the left a fair bit though with Hazard picking up a few small knocks.



Player of the Month

David Pickwell

Kenedy may have had the better month. But the maturity he's shown netting against Juve and Bayern in big big European ties has hugely impressed me this month from a 17 year old.



Table

Reading and QPR are down already. Watford look set to join them barring a miracle. 18 points clear is a joke and the others need to up their game. I'm amazed at how much United have struggled with a strike force of Morata, Lukaku, Alcacer.​

 

[xJamieWilliams]

Well done on the title mate! Some achievement considering what you're doing with the club! Nice

May 2018

90th minute heartbreak for someone in Champions League tie
League season wrapped up nicely
Devestating news for Thibaut Courtois



Champions League


Juventus 1 - 2 Chelsea

Hazard, Pickwell

WRITTEN IN THE STARS!!!! What a stunning win this was. I said it was gonna take something special in Turin and magic from Eden Hazard, Courtois and Pickwell secures us a spot in the final. I proper fist pumped when Pickwell stole in front of Bonucci to tap home Hazard's cross. Courtois had the game of his life too.


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

League


Reading 2 - 2 Chelsea

Jukes, Odegaard

Played the second string here and they didn't impress too much. Reece Oxford had a shocker again. Jukes and Odegaard netted though. Martin Odegaard has done really well during this loan spell when he's been called upon.



Chelsea 2 - 0 West Ham

Musonda, Kenedy

Ignore the scoreline thats not important. Courtois.... INJURED. Out for 9 weeks meaning he misses the Champions League final step up to the plate Mitchell Beeney!!


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

Monthly Review


Devastating month in terms of the injury to Courtois. Especially after his heroics in Turin and Pickwell's 92nd minute winner. Its seems every season ends in some kind of horrible drama for me!!

I'll reward Beeney with a new contract if he saves us in the Final against Manchester City of all teams. He hasn't played a competitive game all season for us though...



Player of the Month

Thibaut Courtois

Hero in Turin with Hazard and Pickwell. We'll win the Champions League for him!!



Final Table

Easily done this year. Only 25 goals conceded shows just how good we were at the back this season and how important Courtois was keeping 23 clean sheets!! Also scored the most goals by a mile.​

 

[Sam91]

Champions League Final & End Of Season Post

Champions League Final


Formations

Big news being Courtois missed out through injury. Beeney makes his first appearance of the season in the Champions League final!! Pickwell starts up front after his heroics in Turin. Kovacic and Tielemans are given the nod over JWP and Dele Alli. Academy produced players in that line up are Jay Dasilva, Chalobah and technically Pickwell too.

Costa and De Bruyne line up against their old team in us. Sterling has been incredible this season for them and needs to be kept under wraps, thats Chalobah's job.


Chelsea 0 - 0 Manchester City

Heartbreaking scenes. Beeney managed to keep a clean sheet. But it was Dasilva who saw his penalty be saved by Joe Hart.


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

Squad

Kenedy was our stand out player this season. Zouma and Dele Alli also had cracking seasons. Hazard was his usual self notching up a good number of assists and goals, still want a bit more from him though especailly now he's 27. Azpi and Dasilva had those full back positions on lock down very well both notching one goal and over 10 assists each. Pickwell had a cracking break through season 15 goals in 20 starts and assists to boot!!!

On the other end we need to see a lot more from Izzy Brown and Reece Oxford.



Awards

Zouma won fans player and young player of the season. Kenedy getting goal of the seasona and Odegaard won signing of the season.



New Stadium Plans

They seem to of changed their mind, don't know why. Anyway the 2020/21 season will be our last at Stamford Bridge before we move to the Lampard Stadium. While to go before that day though!!​

 

[PatrickLFC]

What heartbreak in the final! Guess Beeney earned a new contract at least, or his shootout performance wasn't enough?

 

[Sam91]

What heartbreak in the final! Guess Beeney earned a new contract at least, or his shootout performance wasn't enough?

I know devastating stuff yet again at the hands of City. Beeney got a new contract for 2 years, he wasn't to blame for the loss in the final he made some good saves over the 120 minutes of action.

Transfer window complete and update incoming a lot of regens signed

 

[Sam91]

Summer Transfers 2018

Outs

So the big departure was Kovacic. An offer of £60m was just too much to turn down and we were a tad bit flooded in the central midfield role with Bentancur coming back from his loan spell. Ake also left, as did Charly Musonda. Both with sell on clauses chucked on.

Notable loanees heading out are Barroso to Vitesse, Varao(who was a summer signing), Blair and Nathan.



Ins

All of them are regens. So gonna do individual screenshots below:


Matheus Augusto

New back up keeper. Even though Beeney was handed a new contract I needed a strong back up who could develop too. In comes Augusto who will play in the FA Cup and Capital One Cup too.



Renato Augusto

I like to think he's the younger brother of Matheus. The young left back will be back up to Jay Dasilva after Ake left.



Roman Arce

Probably my most exciting signing. Looks like he could be a real star in the future. Going to train him up as a left winger too.



Roman Castanheira

Excited about this lad too. Young American who's release clause I triggered. Will spend the season on loan at AEK Athens.



Bernardo Varao

I've had my eye on this lad for a while now. When Everton made a move for him I had to poach him. A season at Middlesbrough should do him good.



Alfinete

This lad looks like a cracking little signing. Joining for £5.25m his value is already £8m!!



Wesley

Looks like he could develop nicely, and signed for a small fee too.

August 2018

Charity Shield against City once again a tight affair
Kenedy, Pickwell and Hazard get off to a cracking start
Ridiculously tough Champions League group



League


Chelsea 5 - 0 Newcastle

Kenedy(2), Pickwell(2), Kovacic

What an amazing performance in our first league game of the season. Kenedy and Pickwell netting braces and Kovacic scoring his last goal in a Chelsea shirt before departing.



Brighton 0 - 1 Chelsea

Hazard

A real tough match against a Brighton side that have no established themselves as a true Premier League side. A little bit of magic from Hazard won us the game.


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

Charity Shield


Manchester City 1 - 1 Chelsea

Kenedy

Wish City would just **** off. Losing to them on penalties in a cup final AGAIN!!!


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

Monthly Review


Ignoring the stupid Charity Shield result it was a stunning performance in the league especially against Newcastle where every player got a rating over 8.00 except Courtois. Kenedy has once again got off to a cracking start and will be an important player for us this season, he's really come on so well and is up there with Eden Hazard as our best player.

Here's our Champions League group:

Literally couldn't have got a tougher group.



Player of the Month

Kenedy

Three goals in three games from the Brazilian. Got dropped from the World Cup squad amazingly and a summer off has done him well.



Table

Arsenal have got off to an amazing start so far this season. Early days though.
​

 

[PatrickLFC]

**** that Champions League group is messed up!

I know right. Doesn't help AC Milan being seeded 4th after being out of Europe for so many years!

September 2018

Pickwell's stunning start continues
Two thrilling matches against Swansea and Sheffield Wednesday
90th minute winner in Capital One Cup tie against City



League


Chelsea 3 - 0 Southampton

Pickwell, Tielemans, Kenedy

Solid enough win here. Pickwell netting again here along with Tielemans and Kenedy.



Sheffield Wednesday 2 - 4 Chelsea

Pickwell(3), Hazard

WHAT A MATCH!! Rested my big names and Pickwell came off the bench and netted a stunning hattrick.



Chelsea 4 - 3 Swansea

Kenedy(2), Solanke, Brown

Another thrilling tie. We were 3-0 before Swansea launched a come back, but Izzy Brown netted a stunning goal to give us the three points.



Hull 0 - 1 Chelsea

Pickwell

Tight affair and not our best performance but Pickwell's tidy finish was the difference here.


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

Capital One Cup


Third Round

Chelsea 1 - 0 Manchester City

Solanke

Finally a small bit of revenge. 92nd minute winner from Dom Solanke.


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

Champions League


Chelsea 3 - 0 Shakhtar

Kenedy(2), Solanke

Great win this to kick start our campaign. Kenedy netting twice and Dom Solanke scoring off the bench yet again.


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

Monthly Review


A perfect month with tons of goals from many different players. Pickwell had a stunning month, Dom Solanke scored when called upon. Kenedy and Hazard chipping in too. The ties against Swansea and Sheffield Wednesday could have easily got away from us but we showed great maturity to pull ourselves through them.

In other news Hazard has picked up a slight knock and will miss our important tie against Atletico next month sadly. Big league games against City and Arsenal follow that tie too.



Player of the Month

David Pickwell

7 games, 7 goals and 2 assists so far this season from the 17 year old!!



Tables

Starting to pull away already. City have had a poor start.

Milan actually beat Atletico. This groups gonna be interesting.​

 

[bcfc1]

This was great to read through, you have had some amazing youngsters come through and Pickwell looks incredible already. Could you post a screenshot of the tactics you are using now? I'm wondering how you have got kenedy to do so well because I have really struggled with him?

Sure man

Secondly apologies for the lack of updates been very busy the last few days but updates will be back on the regular tomorrow

 

[xJamieWilliams]

Pickwell looks the real deal!

 

[Sam91]

Certainly looking good isnt he!!! Showing signs of a bit of a burnout lately so may rest him for a few matches

October 2018

Champions League struggles on the road
Solid league form continues
Amazing comeback against City



League


Chelsea 2 - 0 Man City

Laporte, Pickwell

Missing Hazard and Kenedy really didn't help us. We got off to a shocking start as they were all over us, some strong words at half-time changed things as we scrapped back two late goals to walk away with a lucky point.




Liverpool 0 - 1 Chelsea

Laporte

Another Premier League game and a solid win against a good team. Laporte with yet another goal, chipping in nicely this season after 0 goals in the league last year!!



Chelsea 1 - 0 West Brom

Laporte

What's got into the Frenchman this month!! Beast. Not our best performance this season against a West Brom deep in a relegation battle.


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

Champions League


Atletico 1 - 1 Chelsea

Brown

Fair result. We led through an Izzy Brown screamer. They pressed hard and a horrible and rare mistake from Courtois as he rollled the ball into his own net late on using his head meant we only pick up a point.



AC Milan 0 - 0 Chelsea


Real bore draw here. We had the better chances but never mind.


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

Capital One Cup


Fourth Round

Chelsea 2 - 0 Leeds

Alfinete, Laporte

If you ever want proof that possession means basically nothing here it is. They had more of the ball but not even a single shot all game!! Total domination. Alfinete really impressing on the right.


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

Monthly Review


Decent month as we're still undefeated this season. Picking up solid enough wins in the league, Laporte has been immense. Pickwell's getting slightly burnt out so was rested a bit this month. Tielemans has been incredible too and is well worth a mention, boys coming on so well. Injuries to Hazard and Kenedy this month saw Brown, Alfinete and Arce get some game time and all done well.

In the Champions League I'd ideally would have liked a win against either Milan or Atletico so we can start pulling away but draws at their places aren't exactly bad results.



Player of the Month

Aymeric Laporte

Rock solid at the back and four goals this month!!



Tables

Gwan Derby!! Swansea and West Brom are massively struggling.

Funny old game football isnt it! Fourth seeds Milan leading nicely. Anything could still happen in the group of death.​

 

[Sam91]

November 2018

Patchy form this month
Collapse against Arsenal frustrating
First defeat of the season



League


Arsenal 2 - 2 Chelsea

Pickwell, Tielemans

Before the match I'd of taken a draw but to throw away a two goal lead is unacceptable.



Chelsea 2 - 1 Spurs

Dasilva, Brown

Great to see two youth graduates score against one of our biggest rivals!! Izzy Brown the hero today.



Norwich 2 - 1 Chelsea

Brown

..... I don't even wanna talk about it


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

Champions League


Chelsea 1 - 1 AC Milan

Alfinete

They nicked a draw with a goal in the 87th minute!! This result basically doomed us to finish 2nd in the table at best.



Shakhtar 1 - 3 Chelsea

Kenedy(2), Hazard

They stole a lead just before half time. I gave the lads a bollocking and it seemed to fire them up a bit more. Stunning goals from Kenedy won the tie with a Eden Hazard tap in after Kenedy squared it across the box to him.


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

Monthly Review


Disappointing results against AC Milan, Norwich and Arsenal this month. Hugely annoyed to lose our undefeated streak against Norwich, no disrespect to them but we've faced tougher games this season. My fault for resting a number of big names really.

In the Champions League we need Shakhtar to beat AC Milan and we need a win against Atletico to finish top to avoid a tough knockout round draw.



Player of the Month

Youri Tielemans

Stunning month from the centre midfielder. Becoming a real key player for us now the 21 year old.



Tables

Swansea sacked Mancini as they're still yet to pick up a win after 12 games this season. Bit tighter at the top now, just 2 points.
