Sevilla End of second Season

Wooo won the league twice in a row AND mourinho got sacked in my game

not so special now are you lol
 
I am so happy with my Swindon team after we finished 2nd in the league and defeated the champions Peterborough in the JPT final! My budget is 35k though so I'm quite annoyed :(
 
Im playin with Real Madrid, 2nd season. On 1st season I won Liga BBVA and Spanish Cup and it seems im going to win them again, since im in Spanish Super Cup and Im currently dominating Liga BBVA with 22 Games played, 18 wons, 3 draws and 1 lost (to Barcelona in El Clasico). Cristiano Ronaldo has been a class, point per game.

Also been doing well in ECC, qualified for the first stage.
 
Playing as Hereford in my first season. Only had 1 game of the season (destroyed Northamption 4-1) unbeaten pre-season (games v Coventry and MK Dons were included, we drew 1-1 and 2-2) and only making 1 signing in Raphael Nade (Highly recommend to any LLM) but obviously it is the start of the season so anything could happen! Just playing Crystal Palace now in the League Cup :)
 
Liverpool.

Won the league and the Europa League first season, 2nd season struggled, finished 4th and got beat in the League cup final.

Just started my 3rd season, had a bit of an overhaul of the squad. Brought in Di Maria, Tevez, Van Persie, Ljajic and Kevin, letting go a fair bit of dead wood. Side now looks like this:

Reina
Johnson-Ayala-Wilson-Bale
Gerrard-Sissoko
Elia-----------------------Di Maria
Torres-Tevez​

Bench: Jones, Carragher, Agger, Lucas, Ljajic, Van Persie, N'gog

Centre of defence seems quite inexperienced however after conceding no goals in the first 3 games I am not too concerned, we will see come January :)

Update: 10 games in the league, won 9, drew 1. With that inexperienced centre of defence, only conceded 2 goals! Clear by 5 points.

Won 2 and lost 1 in my Champions League group, standing 2nd behind Ajax, playing Brondby now. D
EDIT: Just beat Brondby 6-0 :)

Beat Blackburn in League Cup 4th round, got Villa away.

Standout players:
Fernando Torres, 10 starts, 12 goals.
Glen Johnson, 11 starts, 7.40 ave rating.
Angel Di Maria 13 starts, 7.36 ave rating.

Playing really well as a team though, playing brilliantly. Good results include:
United away, 1-0 win.
City away, 3-1 win.
Arsenal home, 2-0 win.

Liverpool:

First season:
Premier League: Winners
FA Cup: Semi Finals
League Cup & Europa League: Both these tournaments I used predominantly youth players, and reached the quarter finals of both competitions.

Due to the fact I had qualified for the Champions League, I knew I needed to bolster up my squad so I brought in Hamsik and Javier Pastore whilst also getting a few younger players.

Second season has been ok so far, in the FA cup and league cup I was knocked out in the quarter final and 4th round respectively. In the league there have been 32 games played and I am currently 3rd, 1 point behind Arsenal in second and 3 points behind Man City in first. In the Champions League I am in the quarter final and have just won 4-2 at the Emirates so it's looking good so far :)
 
Last two seasons of Newcastle. Didn't add anyone. Only lost 1 starter last season (sold for 15 million when he his value was 5 million). Didn't buy anyone either.

Two years ago:


Won League with an undefeated record, FA Cup, League Cup, and Champs. Really was suprised since I didn't have to really play anyone in either League cup or FA cup. Good thing I didn't have to play anyone tought really cause I had some key injuries for a while for the first 3 months of the season. Was favorites to win Champs which I did but after the group stages the first leg was always a tie either if it was at my place or theirs.

Last year:

Had the same team and two good regins (not great) meant that I should dominate, and that is what I did. Didn't have the injuries problems like last year so I cruised in everything. Perfect season won all the trophies again. Only lost one game and that was to Inter at their place in the ECC quarter's in a 0-1 loss to snap my 136 game winning streak (although my most wins without a loss is only 58 so that is how many ties I had last year in all my cup games, good thing my team is good at PK shots).


After the year the board of Newcastle liked how I had 250 million in balance so they decided to put me in the red by building a 560 million dollar stadium, hey at least they named it after my coach, took out a loan as well. With that I decided to sell at 2 people to try to get us back in the positives. Sadly these were the people who went for 41 million and 39 million.

EDIT: Also my salaries last year for players were just at 1 million. So I thought that was very impressive for my team.

January, bought Kjaer and Khedira, let Ayala go out on loan to Wolfsburg, looking like a promising centre-half. Still going well in all competitions :)

Second Season:

Well, I brought in close to 20m, so around 33m to spend, and I have used 9.75 of it, as I signed a couple of frees and regens.
 
Boro season

Started with Middlesbrough playing a 4-1-2-2-1 and straight away sold
  • Bailey (1.2m),
  • Lita(2.5m!!)
  • and Miller (1m)
i bought
  • Smithies - GK (let me down on a few one on ones, but saved me towards the end of the season)
  • Whittingham - LAM (scored 10 goals)
  • Buszaky - RAM (had his moments, not a great signing)
  • then Naughton (Lb) and Walker (Rb) on loan (Above average)
Kris Boyd was leagues top scorer with 27 goals and when mcdonald came on he was the one to make the come backs (scored me a 37 yarder, goal of the season). Come 2nd anyway.
As Kilgallon ,naughton and walker went i loaned in Rafael and brought in Woodgate, Michael Owen and Paul Robinson (Lb) for free. I also bought Jose Angel and Egueren from Sporting, Great Pair if i must admit!!
first game against Blackburn and i won 3-2. Egueren, Boyd and Owen (89th minute goal to win me the game).
but risky signings woodgate and owen, suprised they didnt injure themselves signing the contract but woodgate is home :) and owen, well come on its owen!!
Thats me so far!
