I have a feeling we may get promoted ;)

Awesome to see our keeper Dale getting more assists than half the midfield!
 
Third highest Avg Rating and highest non-striker.
Have also bagged a PoM.
Keep up the good work Harris.
FM Base FC are on a run to the top.
 
4 assists!! Haha how long am I injured for?
 
With passing like that I think Mike needs to move into midfield, you know, for the good of the team, not just so that Lip can be left alone between the sticks ;)
 
I'm tellin' ya Jai Normus is going to be huge for this club :3
 
The Dec/Jan update might be slightly shorter than usual, will depend on the next continue when I get home later
 
In addition - One of the 16 extra players has knee tendonitis. Out for 5 months, which is going to suck.
 
Dec/Half of Jan

This update will be a lot briefer than normal, so pay attention to the screenshots. A lot of the work for these two months will feature in the next post - the FA Cup 4th Round game. Starting with our second round win over Scunthorpe, December was another good month - let down by our goalless draw in Gosport. Urquidi demostrated his love of the FA Cup with a heroic display against Plymouth in the 3rd round; Dover also joining in on the fun. Meanwhile, the rest of the team picked up goals across the pitch in a better team display. No league tables this time, they'll feature at a later point - this is merely to get myself set up for the big game.

Playerwise, we got hit hard by injuries. Odd-***** and Alarcon both missed out at the same time, whilst Birch and Treble also hit the table. Murley meanwhile hasn't played for us since the end of December - he's at the SAM U20 Championships - joined by Bryan Brasil.

DanW is the man with the unfortunate knees, and he looks set to miss the rest of the season. Meanwhile, Sunderland retain interest in 4 players - could we see the first big move of the file?

Next up, it's the biggest game in FM Base's short history so far...

You just couldn't make this up. I had an acl reconstruction in my knee three months ago
 
FA Cup 4th Round - FM Base vs West Bromwich Albion

The Build Up


In the two weeks preceding the big game, the two clubs still had fixtures to complete. FM Base faced Weston Super Mare and Eastbourne, whilst WBA had Leicester.

FM Base

FM Base's game with Weston was postponed, so just the midweek game with Eastbourne saw a comfortable victory and a useful run out for some of the players seeking spots in the team.

WBA

View attachment 101630

West Brom crushed the current champions at home by the same scoreline as our match. It would appear the onus is attacking from both teams - a surprise but shrewd move by Pulis's 8th placed side. However, a 2-0 defeat in Bournemouth means that they will have a point to prove this time out.

Squad News

Injured for the hosts are Willie, Wikiwiki. Naterr and Tracz, with Alarcon unlikely to be fit. Murley remains aboard with Colombia U20s.

For West Brom, they are missing Hassan at the AFCON. Foster is a late fitness doubt.

The Teams

View attachment 101629

Both teams line up with a 4-4-2 formation for this one. Injuries hit the FM Base team hard in the build up, so Treble comes straight in off the back of his injury; Birch only makes the bench. Last rounds goalscoring heros Urquidi and Dover start, with Notthatbright having to settle for the bench despite also shining in recent games. Charlie Bond, who started the season so well, pays for some recent mistakes; Jameson takes advantage. Harris makes the bench despite a recent gashed head and will wear protective gear. Dahnert or Hawkins can deputise as a striker if required.

WBA lead with a strong line up, pairing Rondon with McClean up top. Brunt starts at left back, whilst fit again Foster only makes the bench. Wing wonderkid Leko makes the bench for the visitors. Nyom starts having just returned from the AFCON.

The Match

1
- Urquidi kicks off for the hosts.

2 - Fish sends one long to Dover, who pings it across to Urquidi and in! 1-0 to the non-league team!

5 - Urquidi to Fish, who sends it through to Dover.. what a finish! Turns the defender inside out and rifles it home into the bottom corner. What a start! 2-0

View attachment 101627

7 - It's Telstar with the cross... and Urquidi is on the end of it! 3-0! FM Base are on fire!

View attachment 101626

43 - The Treble crosses in for Urquidi but Myhill finally gets hold of one to deny the Mexican striker. He sends up field, it's now with Rondon... 3-1! Is the game back on?

HT - 3-1 at the break, and West Brom look shellshocked. They weren't expecting a battering like this off the start. Lowerson and McClean get booked as the last action of the half. McAuley on for Dawson in the interval.

47 - McClean is past Lowerson, he's through! Can he finish? No! What a save by Dale to tip it round the post, WBA struggling to get that 2nd goal.

55 - Rondon tries a shot from range after a poor clearance, but Dale catches it easily.
58 - Morrison and Robson-Kanu on for the visitors, replacing Yacob and McClean.

61 - Fletcher booked for a poor challenge.

77 - Notthatbright on for Dover for FM Base.

81 -The ball pings around the box, McAuley gets it to Evans who pings it home! Nervy few minutes left here! 3-2

85 - Hawkins on for Urquidi, who appears to have picked up a thigh strain. Standing ovation as he goes off the pitch.

88 - WBA charge forward, but Jameson gets the ball, it's a long clearance... it breaks free for Notthatbright! It's 1v1, can he end this? No! Fluffs his lines at the last.

89 - Silva coming off to be replaced by Dahnert on the right wing.

90 - Three minutes of added time.

90+3 -
That's it, it's over! What a superb match, FM Base win 3-2!

What a result! Disappointing not to get a run but Lip is a team player. Strong performance by Mike it would seem.

How bad is Urquidi knock?
