good start mate

Cheers but all fairly simple games. Septembers done too just need to type it up

You are obviously underestimating the mighty Gladbach.

Compared to Ajax and PSG they don't worry me too much

Monthly Review


So I actually played this month ages ago before my laptop broke. But still a good month, annoying draw against United but good results against Hull, PSG and Liverpool. Been giving plenty of game time to the youngsters like Ake, Loftus-Cheek and Feruz. Blackman played well against Hull too, Feruz impressed more than Torres has looking back at the stats and stuff. Might try and flog Torres in January if I get enough money.



Player of the Month

Juan Mata

Looking back at the stats he's been our best player.

Monthly Review


A very good month with the highlights being 5 nil wins over Ajax and West Ham, Feruz just went crazy in that game and its very promising to see him playing so well against a decent side too!! Oscar netted a hat-trick himself against Ajax and we limped to a win over a tough Gladbach side. But with those two wins in the Champions League mean ourselves and PSG are now in control of our Champions League Group.

In the league we had two solid wins over QPR and Wigan as to be expected really but Newcastle gave us a real match!!! A stunning game for the neutrals as the game swung too and forth and a draw was probably a fair result in the end if I'm honest.

The old guard showed they still have it too with Terry and Lampard playing really well this month, but so did Ake and Loftus-Cheek when called upon. Ake's getting some real game time as so far this season and Loftus-Cheek normally makes an appearance as a sub. Ake could become class but Loftus-Cheek's base stars are pretty average, hopefully he can come on leaps and bounds and become Lampards replacement as I'm sure Ake will to JT.


Player of the Month

Nathan Redmond

Although JT was a machine in front of goal we let in too many goals at the back, Redmond was sensational every time he played and came third in the POTM.

Going well in both major tournaments, potential banana skin in the CL though if we fail to beat PSG and/or Gladbach. United and City looking very strong in the BPL though and I think its gonna be a challenge to win the BPL this year.​

Monthly Review


A kinda mixed month, dropping points at Stoke and City was disappointed but City are a great team and some brilliance from Aguero settled the game. The Stoke game was really really annoying, we should have won but fair play to Stoke they defended well. Shawcross was a boss for them. A great win over Arsenal before the City game though sent us top before that loss, I was surprised at how poor Arsenal were as Giroud is in fine form but Hazard terrorised the Gunners back line. Solid wins over Villa and Swansea before that which were pretty routine.

Gladbach stole a point off us and set up a nervy game versus PSG but we smashed them 5-0 which means we win our group quite comfortably after Ajax also beat PSG before hand.

Also look at this screenie, surely the oldest looking 14 year old ever:

Sensational this month, goals and assists by the bucket load. Special mention to Azpilicueta though who has been amazing also.

With top spot now secure in the CL I'll rest players against Ajax as our fixtures are becoming quite congested and we also have the Club World Cup next month. The league's looking very open with no-one really gaining any advantage yet in the title race.​

Monthly Review


A stunning month, always nice to knock up your third trophy. Monterrey were a good side, if you checked the screenie's your'll see that I had some random keeper in goal, I couldn't register Blackman for the tournament and Cech picked up a knock which lasted the whole tournament. Never mind we kept a clean sheet in both games and won it!!!

Back in the league we scrapped by in every single match really, scoring late goals and clinging on. No-one's really stood out this month but the team all together has played well. Mata picked up an injury in training before our last game of the month(West Ham Game) and is out for 4 weeks. Lucky for me I arranged a deal a couple of months ago bringing in a certain Attacking Midfielder also signed a new striker as Torres has just been **** to be honest.

Champions League draw was made anyway and we got handed a pretty simple draw:

Doing well in the league still, Arsenal are looking like a really decent side. Giroud is beasting it for them with 17 goals already in the league.

Here you go mate:

Doing quite well considering his stats and age. His key stats are his finishing, composure and acceleration. Kinda reminds me of Zaha last year, not gonna be a world beater but hopefully quite good

 

[samillyroy]

yes pal, like this a lot as a lifelong chelsea fan. might have to do my own for fm2013 as well! love that you're giving feruz etc a go, do you know how good kiwomya is as he's been tearing it up for the U-21's in real life???

He looks pretty decent agreed with the Zaha thing, got the same stats in the same areas

Great to see this story back mate by the way definitely make sure you give Chalobah chances once he is back from his loan spell at Watford I am currently in my 5th season on my Chelsea game and he is a beast.

Thanks man so happy my laptops started working again!! Yeah Chalobah is back from his loan spell and played a few games this month already

Thanks man, it's something I'd like us to do more, playing youth even if it means our results suffer a bit IRL. Kiwomya doesn't look good enough in game, stats are really poor. Our under 19's are doing great in the next gen series future looks bright

Sign two brilliant young stars for small amounts and they both make a huge impact right away

Transfers

View attachment 320757 View attachment 320758

So I'll start with the ins. Both have been agreed for a couple of months, and both can become superstars in a few years. Those of you who have followed my previous saves will know I've had great success with Ademilson on numerous times. Hughes is someone I've always wanted to sign and I've seen him become sensational on other peoples saves and both were signed pretty cheaply.

Now with the outs, Torres and Cahill are the big names. Torres was doing awful for me and I wanted him off the wage bill, I'm still paying some of it but at least he's gone!! Cahill was playing well but I needed to make room for Ake and Chalobah to develop and Luiz and Terry have been amazing so far. Numerous youngsters left on loan and Marin was loaned out too as he was unhappy.

Monthly Review


A brilliant month if you ask me. Even though we crashed out of the League Cup I feel our young stars done pretty well getting so far anyway. Our brilliant league form continued mainly thanks to Ademilson smashing in a stunning 8 goals in just 6 league games!!!! More than Ba and Torres have managed all season!!!! Hughes has also played well and notched up a couple of goals himself. Two good wins over United this month too, the first in the FA Cup was lucky we only had 3 shots all game but we took our chances and they didn't. In the league it was even till Evra was sent off.

We also chalked up a win over Spurs away from home, I probably would have taken a draw to be honest!!! I also won Manager of the Month



Player of the Month

Ademilson

Goals, goals, goals by the freaking bucket load!!
