Monthly Review
A superb month, we won the league after a thrilling game against Fulham. But this month was all about that Champions League!! We swept Dortmund aside in the second leg then we had Bayern to face. An amazing performance after the first leg pretty much meant we were safely into the final, but if it wasn't for some amazing saves from Courtois the second leg would have been a lot worse than just 1-0. Barcelona beat PSG to join us in the final.
In the FA Cup Stoke were beaten thanks to goals from Will Hughes and the ever impressive Rafael Rotondo. Man City await us in the final.
Player of the Month
Nathaniel Chalobah
Six goals this month from the centre back!! Insane.

Titles wrapped up again. Below Blackburn in the table Wigan are on a measly 18 points with Millwall on 21, so they're both down.

Monthly Review
A perfect month besides losing to scummy Millwall. We even went down to 10 men against United but still beat them. We dominated QPR and City in the FA Cup Final.
Then the Champions League Final, we absolutely smashed Barca they were so lucky to even get to extra time. David De Gea saved them numerous times, we had SEVEN clear cut chances so 3-0 seemed fair enough in the end!!

If we didn't lose to Millwall then we would have hit 100 points so its kinda gutting about that!!
BPL Player Stats

Nathaniel Chalobah was the best player all season by the ratings shown, proving just how far he's come for us. Eden Hazard racked up a whopping 22 assists in the league this season too.

Great to see Chalobah and Ake being so consistent at their ages. Also Rafael Rotondo scored 18 goals in 19 starts too, I strongly believe if we had him all year he would be well into the 30's. He will lead the line next season and I think I might sell Lukaku, he was pretty poor this season and I have some superb regens along with Islam Feruz who won Championship Young Player of the Year. He crashed in 21 goals for Sheffield Wednesday.

England Squad For Euro 2016 Finals
(Ruben Loftus-Cheek lining up for his England debut against Holland)
There has been a shock inclusion in Englands 23 man squad for Euro 2016 with Chelsea youngster Ruben Loftus-Cheek getting the call up instead of James Milner. The 20 year old hasn't been a regular for Chelsea this season, mainly due to injury. Here's what England and Chelsea manager Sam Birch had to say:
"Ruben works very hard in training and has been very unlucky with injury lately, he's a top player who I want to gain experience at this level. There's no point in calling up James Milner, he's past it and although he works hard he's not the kind of player who can produce a bit of magic and change a game. I've seen Ruben do this quite a few times at Chelsea.''
Gary Cahill also missed out on the final cut and has sensationally quit the International set up for as long as Mr Birch is in charge. Its reported there was a huge argument at the England training camp between manager and player, and its not the first time. Cahill was sold by the Chelsea manager a couple of years ago due to his poor attitude. Here's the England squad in full:

Pre Season and August
Charity Shield and Super Cup this month
Two big names leave as I put my faith in youth
Find a brilliant 18 year old Chinese regen
Transfers
View attachment 360296View attachment 360297
So some big sales this summer from us. I offloaded Lukaku, he didn't really shine for me last year and I have some nice regens coming through I want to develop. I also at the end of August sold Juan Mata... I was sad to see him go but the guy was on over £200k a week and I replaced him with a younger player who I believe could become one of the best regens I've ever had. I also sold a lot of dead wood and players who didn't develop the way I wanted. Lots of youngsters went on loan too, notable ones being Feruz, Mazur, Bernard, Routledge and Watts.
I signed only three players this summer but what superb 3 players they are. Umberto Maris is a superb looking 17 year old centre back, I nearly signed Zouma but went for this guy instead.
View attachment 360300
Next up I signed a new keeper, Argentine Daniel Batalla. He looks very good for his age and will play in FA Cup games and League Cup games.
View attachment 360303
Then we have the big boy. He's got big boots to fill with Mata leaving, he'll rotate with Will Hughes in the CAM role. Say hello to Tan Zhenjun
View attachment 360306
I will do a full Meet The Team after this post for you all so don't worry
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
League Results
Chelsea 2 - 0 QPR
Rotondo(2)
Rafael Rotondo bagged two here picking up from where he left off last season.
Arsenal 1 - 1 Chelsea
Maris
It didn't take long for Maris to make a name for himself!! Came off the bench to grab us a vital point against Arsenal as we really struggled to break them down.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Charity Shield
Chelsea 1 - 2 Manchester United
Hughes
View attachment 360312
Tough result to take, it was very even but we were so poor early on and Wilshere gave away a cheap penalty. Missing Rotondo too due to the Under 21's playing some bullshit game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
European Super Cup
Chelsea 4 - 0 AC Milan
Chalobah(2), Azpilicueta, Rotondo

Now this was more like it!! Tore them to shreds.

Monthly Review
Bit of a meh month. Good to win our first trophy, but disappointing results against United and Arsenal. But hopefully we can kick on from the AC Milan result and take an early lead as thanks to the Arsenal results we're already behind in the league.
We also have Liverpool and United next month so if we don't win those we could end up even further behind. We'll see though.
Also I've had some requests for my tactic I'm using here it is:

Nothing special at all. I do find Hazard works better as an IF with Attacking.
Player of the Month
Cesar Azpilicueta
I really don't give Dave enough credit. He's a superb right back, great going forward and solid at the back. Best right back in the game too.

Doesn't really mean stuff at this stage really but United and City looking strong as always.
NOTE: I'M GOING TO DO A ''MEET THE SQUAD'' FOR EVERYONE. I'LL DO A DEFENDERS, THEN MIDFIELDERS, THE ATTACKERS.
Charity Shield and Super Cup this month
Two big names leave as I put my faith in youth
Find a brilliant 18 year old Chinese regen

So some big sales this summer from us. I offloaded Lukaku, he didn't really shine for me last year and I have some nice regens coming through I want to develop. I also at the end of August sold Juan Mata... I was sad to see him go but the guy was on over £200k a week and I replaced him with a younger player who I believe could become one of the best regens I've ever had. I also sold a lot of dead wood and players who didn't develop the way I wanted. Lots of youngsters went on loan too, notable ones being Feruz, Mazur, Bernard, Routledge and Watts.
I signed only three players this summer but what superb 3 players they are. Umberto Maris is a superb looking 17 year old centre back, I nearly signed Zouma but went for this guy instead.

Next up I signed a new keeper, Argentine Daniel Batalla. He looks very good for his age and will play in FA Cup games and League Cup games.

Then we have the big boy. He's got big boots to fill with Mata leaving, he'll rotate with Will Hughes in the CAM role. Say hello to Tan Zhenjun

I will do a full Meet The Team after this post for you all so don't worry
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
League Results
Chelsea 2 - 0 QPR
Rotondo(2)
Rafael Rotondo bagged two here picking up from where he left off last season.
Arsenal 1 - 1 Chelsea
Maris
It didn't take long for Maris to make a name for himself!! Came off the bench to grab us a vital point against Arsenal as we really struggled to break them down.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Charity Shield
Chelsea 1 - 2 Manchester United
Hughes
View attachment 360312
Tough result to take, it was very even but we were so poor early on and Wilshere gave away a cheap penalty. Missing Rotondo too due to the Under 21's playing some bullshit game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
European Super Cup
Chelsea 4 - 0 AC Milan
Chalobah(2), Azpilicueta, Rotondo
View attachment 360313
Now this was more like it!! Tore them to shreds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Monthly Review
Bit of a meh month. Good to win our first trophy, but disappointing results against United and Arsenal. But hopefully we can kick on from the AC Milan result and take an early lead as thanks to the Arsenal results we're already behind in the league.
We also have Liverpool and United next month so if we don't win those we could end up even further behind. We'll see though.

Meet The Team - Defenders
Thibaut Courtois - Goalkeeper
View attachment 360508
Came back from Atletico and never looked back, our undisputed number 1 has developed into arguably the best keeper in the world.
Daniel Batalla - Goalkeeper
View attachment 360511
New kid on the block is young and has great stats, hopefully can develop and compete with Courtois.
Igor Shunin - Right Back
View attachment 360513
Great little Russian defender picked up a couple of years ago on a free. Shame he's competing with Azpilicueta for that right back spot!!
Cesar Azpilicueta - Right Back
View attachment 360516
Such a good player, consistently brilliant. Rock solid at the back and dangerous when going forward. Also racks up assists with his giant throw in.
Tomas Kalas - Centre Back
View attachment 360518
Loaned out a lot in his career early on but has become a solid defender for me. Great pace and very versatile.
Nathaniel Chalobah - Centre Back
View attachment 360522
What can I say about this guy?? Amazing. Club captain, absolute rock, scores loads of goals and versatile too. Probably the best centre back in the game.
Umberto Maris - Centre Back
View attachment 360523
Signed in the summer for £16m. I'm hoping for a lot from this young lad, great stats for a 17 year old.
Nathan Ake - Centre Back
View attachment 360524
Won European Golden Boy in 2014, superb little player. Sometimes plays in centre midfield for me too. Become a regular in the Dutch side too.
Luke Shaw - Left Back
View attachment 360525
Hasn't developed as much as I'd hoped actually. Cost me £15m but still only 21, hopefully improve some of those stats soon and help him kick on a bit.
Anton Anikin - Left Back
View attachment 360526
Another Russian full back signed a couple of years ago for £7.5m has a great set of stats and is providing stiff competition for Luke Shaw.
That's it for the defenders lads. Midfielders and Attackers up in a bit

Meet The Squad - Midfielders
(All our midfielders are trying to emulate this legend)
Ruben Loftus-Cheek - Centre Midfield
View attachment 360530
Ruben has developed about as well as I could of hoped considering his base stats weren't outstanding. Very reliable back up and I love this guy IRL so I kinda don't wanna sell him!!
Paul Pogba - Centre Midfield
View attachment 360531
Arrived from Juventus a few years back now and has been a dynamic midfield master. Cost £30m but has lived up to his price tag.
Jack Wilshere - Centre Midfield
View attachment 360533
Signed from Arsenal years back now after they were sensationally relegated. One of the best midfielders in the world.
Josh McEachran - Centre Midfield
View attachment 360536
Hasn't developed well at all but again I love him IRL. Decent back up.
Fabrice Bassilekin - Centre Midfield
View attachment 360537
Awesome little french midfielder. Signed for £13.5m last summer, done okay last year but hoping for big things from this guy. Wilshere's deputy but see's plenty of game time.
Danny Carney - Centre Midfield
View attachment 360538
Youth product kind of went un-noticed a bit. Nice stats for a 16 year old and hopefully I can develop him nicely.
Will Hughes - Central Attacking Midfield
View attachment 360539
Signed in my first season and has become an amazing player. Cost me £6m but would take more than £60m for me to even consider selling him.
Tan Zhenjun - Central Attacking Midfielder
View attachment 360540
Chinese regen signed in the summer. Looks amazing already and hoping I can turn him into a world beater.
Eden Hazard - Left Winger
View attachment 360541
Been the focal point of our success over the years. Just an unbelievable player, hoping he can wrestle the Golden off Messi soon.
Lucas Piazon - Left Winger
View attachment 360543
Actually developed really really well for me. Covers Hazard nicely for me and another player I love IRL.
Nathan Redmond - Right Winger
View attachment 360544
Another Golden Boy winner. Insane winger signed for £5m in my first season, terrorises defences with his pace and skill.
Francisco Pascual - Right Winger
View attachment 360545
Young Spanish winger who I really like. Hoping he can develop well, signed him for £1.1m from Real Madrid.
Next up the strikers
