Massive for the club after being 200k in debt for most of last season.

Are you having problems with the match engine? i.e 67% possession 30 shots 17 on target compared to 1 dhot 1 on target and losing 1-0 or just in general being outplayed by a team so beneath you it's unreal?

With Aberdeen i could win 2 or 3-0 with ease and now ever since 14.1.3 i can't buy a win..

Not sure what it is, i know some people are saying the possession football isnt going to get you the goals despite dominating the games but i can have 30 odd shots a match and struggle to score, Whats annoying is after the match when you talk to the media and it says things like you hit the crossbar 5 times today do you think it just wasnt your day? This happens to me like every 3 or 4 games!

October Fixtures

View attachment 446763

Not a very good month as we struggle to a draw against Celtic and lose both of our Champions League Games.

3 points clear at the top still and despite only being in October the title race is down to just the two of us.

Dow has had an amazing start to the season and is our top goalscorer in the league despite being a defence minded midfielder.

As you can see a much better month all round as we win all of our domestic games and not only beat Sporting we also hold AC Milan to a draw.

Only 3 points separate us and Celtic still as they manage to keep up their form and stay in contention with us.

Everything is clicking at the moment and no one player is standing out as we have numerous players scoring goals, creating goals and having amazing matches.​

We beat Schalke in the last game of the Champions League Group stages but it wasnt enough to get even Europa League football after Christmas.

December Fixtures

After a hard to take defeat to Inverness we manage to pick up 5 straight wins including an impressive victory against Schalke in the Champions League.

League Table

View attachment 446748

The loss to Inverness has hurt us as Celtic continue to pump out the wins and we stay 3 points clear at the top but Celtic have game in hand.

3 players in the top 5 goalscorers this season but Calvin Zola still sits on top.

Winter Transfer Window 2015

So i didnt bring anyone in as we were not given any extra funds and i didnt feel the need to strengthen the squad at this stage unnecessarily.
The window was more about trying to keep players from leaving with bids coming in for Souttar, Ciftci and even Robertson along with the big boys coming in for Gauld

Man Utd, Man City and Chelsea want Ryan Gauld

View attachment 446745View attachment 446744

View attachment 446743

Whats really frustrating is Gauld has now put in a transfer request yet none of the big guns will put up the money i want to buy him. I offered to sell him for a mere ?8million but none of them are willing to pay that, they would just rather wind him up and get him to refuse to sign a new deal. Bastards!

Sloppy form this month as Morton demolish us at the start of the new year and then we go on to beat Celtic comfortably before slipping up against Hearts.

8 points clear at the top despite dropping points this month as Celtic implode after we beat them at the beginning of the month.

Well right after spending all January trying to keep Gauld at the club Arsenal make a last ditch attempt to sign Souttar!


View attachment 446737

Watching Gauld and Souttar grow is the main reason of this save so im definitely not going to let them go at least not for that cheap!

A much more productive month as we demolish a few teams with a bore draw the only blip in the otherwise good month.

11 points clear now as Celtic fall further behind as we start to play some good football now and continue to dominate the league.

Graham has surely won the Golden Boot with a couple of months to spare now with 8 goals more than anyone else in the league.

Right so thats a few months more for everybody to get caught up on, im off to work now but may sneak my laptop into work, Im a Carpenter and have been making a picket fence with 120 sections that now need painting, twice, so reckon i can have a paint brush in one hand and play FM with the other!​

Awesome story so far mate!! And as for that champions league group OUCH haha

 

[mike887]

yh fantastic story and im glad u rejected both bids an that nice 7 mil will do wonders keep it up

 

[MatthewElphinstone]

You should train the first player into a Flase 9 he fits it well.. with the other striker he has the freedom to be whatever you want him to which is a lucky thing to have..

Cool you might be able to answer this as you yourself are a wee bit of a journeyman this year.. But do you feel different countries have different tactical differences? i.e in Scotland and England i feel 4-2-3-1 is the way to go but in Wales i feel a 4-2-4 is very successful!
what are your thoughts on this? i think it's amazing as it shows cultural and tactical difference!

I know man most groups the points i got would have at least got me 3rd spot!

So far Gauld has been okay to calm down when bids come in for him but Souttar isnt even bothered about leaving. thanks.

Yes they are both pretty decent will loan them out a bit and try and get them some game time.

Yeah i would definitly agree that it depends on the league as the Tika Taka tactic worked wonders for me in France and Portugal but was a no go in Scotland and the Ukraine i guess because there more defence minded leagues, I can imagine it does really work in Italy either but sometimes the ME has affected me, having a decent tactic plummete overnight once a new patch is done.

 

[coolmcool]

Oh and guys i took my laptop to work and while i was painting managed to finish over a season, Im around July 2016 so will try to pump out some updates tonight and not play the game!
