Monthly Review


So a pretty good month but once again ****** Newcastle causing problems!!! They took the lead but Captain, Leader, Legend JT scored his 11th goal of the season to get us a point which could prove crucial at the end of the season. Brighton earned a replay by snatching a draw at The Bridge but we were too good in the replay with Feruz scoring yet again for us.

He came to rescue against Reading too, Demba Ba hasn't played a game since January because Feruz and Ademilson are doing so well for us and with Lukaku coming back at the end of the season Demba Ba will probably be sold in the summer.



Player of the Month

Islam Feruz

That goal against Reading won us 3 points which could in due course win us the title maybe.

Top and with some games in hand still but we need to make them count. I'd be disappointed if we didn't win the league though with this many games in hand and we're top.

Monthly Review


A solid month winning all our games but it was pretty straight forward. Chalobah and Ake have already become reliable center backs, JT has been sensational, Ademilson has made an instant impact and Mata, Hazard and Moses have become a real threat attacking opposition.

We have been given a tough Champions League draw though:

View attachment 321699

Hmm AC Milan aren't the team they used to be but we will have to play well. But Powerhouses United or Barca wait for us if we progress.


Our Youth Intake was pretty shocking to be honest:

Monthly Review


So maybe not the best month league wise but wow what cup ties we had!!! I'll talk about the Milan games first, they were solid at the back and deadly up front on the break, we got very lucky in the second leg scrapping through on away goals!! Then I saw we had Barca and feared the worst, I set the team up to be solid and try and use pace down the wings on the break. It kinda working with Ademilson winning us a peno which Lamps converted, but a Messi double gave Barca a 2-1 win after the first leg. But heck what a second leg performance!!! Hazard tore them apart and even Azpilicueta got on the scoresheet with a good header. And look at what Tito said after the game.

View attachment 322164

Either Juve or Man City will face us in the final as we bid to become the first club to retain the Champions League!!


In the league I rested our main players so players like Hazard, Mata, Luiz and Terry were rested for the Champions League but boy did the back ups do well!! Ake and Chalobah were solid as a pair of boulders at the back. What can I say about the Spurs game.... we destroyed them. Terry bagged a hat-trick of headers from corners, Ademilson smashed in 4 superb goals, he's been amazing since I signed him, what a player.

Nathaniel Chalobah

So solid at the back, fully justified my sale of Cahill and let him have his chance. Saved us against Wolves too!!

So we romped to the title in class fashion losing just 2 games all year. A solid defence was key with Luiz and Terry proving key to seeing out big games. Arsenal slipped away just like in real life and United will be disappointed with their season. Giroud smashed in 24 league goals but Arsenal were let down elsewhere as players like Walcott and The Ox let them down. It was a bad season for Wigan, Reading and Sunderland as they were relegated and we will be joined by Hull, Cardiff and Blackburn next season.

A simple win in the end helped by West Ham having a man sent off. Loftus-Cheek's strike was a scorcher and couldn't have been a better occasion for the lad to score his first club goal.

Devestated.... to come so close and so far to fall in extra time... I dunno. Really was gobsmacked, I thought after smashing Barca in the semi's Juventus would be easier but they were solid and packed the midfield well and were really hard to break down. A 117th minute goal from Giovinco meant we couldn't retain the Champions League and Juventus became Champions.

Cech made the team but that was it for us. Shocked JT didn't make the team as it was packed with Barca and Juve players.



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

Season Review


A very successful season in which we won everything except the big one, the Champions League and League Cup. It kinda feels like a failure ending our season on such a downer. Also it was Lampards last game as he's refusing talks about extending his contract. I've already made one signing, a player I love in game and in real life a future England International for sure.


We stormed to the league title, won the FA Cup, Charity Shield, Euro Super Cup and the Club World Cup. I gave youngsters like Chalobah, Ake, Loftus-Cheek, Blackman, Hughes, Ademilson, Redmond ect. plenty of game time and they all proved very good players and I'm sure many will become world beaters!! We welcome back a lot of players like Piazon, De Bruyne, Kalas, Courtois. I'm thinking of selling Cech but I'm not too sure yet.



Squad

View attachment 322294 View attachment 322295

JT proved our best player, look how many goals he bagged!!! Ademilson smashed in 17 goals since January to become our top scorer for the season which speaks volumes of how little an impact Demba Ba has made. Azpilicueta was superb at right back and with Wallace coming in(a deal made before I took over) Ivanovic will be sold.

Very happy for the lad, he has been sensational and I'm glad he was recognised for his efforts.



Players' Player of the Year

John Terry

View attachment 322297

Amazed that JT has won this award, lets face it he's not very much loved by his peers. But still he's been sensational this season.



Golden Gloves

Petr Cech

Great performances from the stopper but the defence all did their bit too.




Manager of the Year

Sam Birch

Thank you... thank you very much *Bows*



Team of the Season

View attachment 322300

Bit of a **** take that Azpilicueta, Mata and Cole didn't even make the bench but never mind.





Chelsea Player of the Season

John Terry

View attachment 322301

Been amazing this season. So many goals from defence mainly because of my corner tactic but still he's been so solid and a very good model for Ake and Chalobah.



Chelsea Young Player of the Season

Nathaniel Chalobah

View attachment 322302

Came back to us in January after a disappointing loan spell at Watford and hasn't looked back, been stunning when he's played and scored some important goals. Very good progress already.





Well thats it for this season lads, look forward to next year. Not sure who I'm gonna sign yet but have a few names in mind, also found some good regens already :D strangely from the Ulkraine :S. Thanks for reading :)​
 
Done up to August now lads, will smash the update when I'm back from work to tonight. Some big players sold and a few youngsters signed including one for £24m!!

Mate it was devastating to watch, we just couldn't break them down. They played such a tight 3-5-2 and Vidal bossed it for them

Transfers

View attachment 322836 View attachment 322837 View attachment 322838

Outs

Between young players going on loan and players being released the big names leaving were Ivanovic, Cech, Ba, Mikel, Marin and Essien. All were sold to make way for young stars like Courtois, Wallace, McEachran ect. The whole point of this save was to develop young stars and unfortunately some legends like Cech and Lampard had to make way. Lamps did open talks but still wanted over £100k a week and I wasn't willing to pay that and let him take up game time McEachran and De Bruyne could be having. Lots of players left on loan but those of note were Feruz, Kalas, Kakuta, and Bertrand.



Ins

The Shaw deal was agreed some time ago and Bertrand wont make the cut when Cole leaves so I needed a decent young left back and who better than Luke Shaw. The Wallace deal was already in the place before I came to the club, he looks good but Azpilicueta will still be our main right back for years to come. Routledge and Albert are regen strikers who look very decent but whether or not they can displace Ademilson and Lukaku is very unlikely but they have potential. Then I spent big on Thiago as McEachran isn't quite there yet and De Bruyne will mainly play on the wings or in the CAM position so I splashed to cash to sign the young Spaniard.

View attachment 322839View attachment 322840View attachment 322841View attachment 322842View attachment 322843


Also as you can see City spent big on Gotze and Belhanda so they clearly want the title back!!



Finances

View attachment 322844

I noticed I haven't posted the clubs finances... well ever. We are in a decent state but I want to increase our bank balance and selling players on high wages will help that hence why I sold certain players and let some go. Look at my transfer budget and wage budget too, I have loads to spend and do have a certain player in mind who I haven't yet managed on FM this year...

Monthly Review


A pretty good month. Solid wins over Norwich and West Brom but a frustrating draw to Spurs meant we slipped off the pace early on but its only been 3 games!! The City game was insane, we fell behind twice but each time Mata darted up the other end to equalise, then just when I thought it was heading to penalties Hazard darted round the defence and smashed home at the near post to win us the Charity Shield again.


Our Champions League has yet again been tough with PSG AGAIN!!! And Benfica, with Red Bull Salzburg rounding up the group.

Also Ake and Feruz got their first International Appearances which is good :)

Monthly Review


A pretty okay month really. Stunning wins over United and Red Bull Salzburg in particular!! The Red Bull game was just.... stunning. I fielded a very young side bar JT and they were amazing. Piazon and Lukaku tore them apart. We were lucky in the United game really, it was very even but Hazard's goal settled the game as we pick up a very important 3 points considering we drew to both Everton and Fulham disappointingly.


Redmond picked up his first International cap which is good.



Player of the Month

Thibaut Courtois
