October 2015 update.

Keiran Booker may not be seeing any action for Newcastle but his performances in the youth league have caught the eye of the England u-19s manager and he's become a regular fixture for the youth side.

Billy Bryant is still cutting it for Rovers in League 1, with an average rating of 7.05 after 10 games, a goal and an assist. Rovers are just 2 points off the play-off spots after a decent start to the season.

Conordinho has only played for Kilmarnock in the Challenge Cup, but England managed to wrestle the youngster from the FAI's control and he's become a regular for the u-19s.

Timo Downing has been promoted to the Germany u-21 setup, earning a total of 5 youth caps so far.

Gillingham are now the main suitor for Bala's Brad Dylan, who's scored once and assisted twice in 9 games for the Welsh side. He's also managed to get 6 caps for Northern Ireland u-21 so far.

For Cliftonville, Hornsletten has scored 3 times and provided an assist in 11 games, with his average rating of 6.95 surpassing that of last season so far. His value, in the meantime, has risen to 70k.

What a year it was for Michael McCabe. A key player for Australia u-22 as they successfuly defended the Asian Cup, he gout promoted to the senir setup for whom he now has 4 caps. He also had an outstanding season for Bray Wanderers: his average rating of 7.52 (second best in the league) was higher than last season, when his club got promoted. He also got 9 Man of the Match awards, provided two assists, made a team-best 15 key tackles, 119 interceptions (fifth in the league) and scored a single goal, but what an important goal it was - an 82nd minute winner for 10-men Wanderers against third placed Shamrock Rovers in the final game of the season, to save his team from relegation by a single point (with ratings well above the 8-point mark in his last four games, his Important Matches attribute must be sky-high). His performances rightfully earned him Player of the Month for September, Young Player of the Year and Bray Wanderers Fan's Player of the Season. He will now rejoin Dortmund at the turn of the year.

Andreas Naterr's season hasn't kicked off yet as after his lone Challenge Cup game he got an injury that's going to keep him out of the pitch for at least another two weeks.

In Germany, Perna had a rough start for Dortmund, playing once for their reserve team and twice for the first team, but his performances have been sub-par.

Akshay Rao scored 3 goals and provided 3 assists as St. Pat's finished second in the league. With his contract running until next year, Rao will play the first half of their Europa League campaign before returning to parent club Manchester United.

Pratik Sangle has played 5 games for Hannover so far, but most importantly he has refused overtres from India to rejoin their setup. At this moment in time, he feels he would only play for his adoptive nation of Northern Ireland.

While Silva has hardly played a competitive game since leaving Stockport, he's still a member of the Spanish youth setup.

Smith, just like Perna, has played for Dortmund but his performances have been sub-par so far.

The FA were not about to let another young talent go, least of all to Gibraltar, and have managed to convince Scott Trowers to play for England u-19s after his high profile move to Dortmund.

Ross Whitehead's attributes have risen in these last few months, but that's not the only thing that's getting higher, as the 1.73m kid that left Alloa is now 1.79. On a more football-related note, he hasn't seen competitive action this season apart from a single cup appearance.
 
McCabe is by far and away the most interesting of the bunch so far :p
 
Relieved to be given another chance with England - I only wanted Gibraltar as backup option :D

And I think we need a bit more patience with Athe. He is doing a fantastic job to be doing this so quickly, but he still doesn't need to be questioned every 12 hours when the next update'll be. He'll do it whenever he can :) Just sayin'
 
Liking the look of my guy, hoping he gets a move soon. Has he been picked for England at all yet?

Not yet, I guess league reputation is too low for him to get a look, but if you move or get promoted you'll probably be in contention, after all Whitehead was being called up from Alloa in the Scottish Championship
 
Finally, I have a good player in one of these. Let's hope I can break into Dortmund's first team ASAP ;)
 
Wonder if i'll end up taking Rovers to the SPL and become a club legend :p that would be interesting.
 
End of January update.

Keiran Booker hasn't seen much in terms of competitive action but his efforts in the training ground have resulted in a decent increase in attributes.

Albion Rovers may have dropped out of the race for promotion, but Billy Bryant has kept up his good form and has drawn interest form Arsenal and Liverpool

Conordinho has played twice in the league for Kilmarnock, providing an assist.

Timo Downing is putting a great shift in the training ground, and his attributes have increased accordingly. He's now got 6 Germany youth caps, too.

After 6 assists, 2 goals and 6 Man of the Match awards, Brad Dylan finally leaves Bala for Chelsea.

Hornsletten's form for Cliftonville has attracted scouts from Arsenal and Liverpool. He has scored 3 goals and provided three assists as the North Belfast side sit in third place.

Michael McCabe hasn't seen much action for his club since returning from loan, but he has amassed 9 caps for the Australia senior squad.

Andreas Naterr move to Dundee United ended up being a very disappointing one. Having hardly seen action, he's also suffered a calf strain which kept him on the sidelines for a couple of weeks. However, with his contract expiring at the end of the season he will probably have a host of clubs vying for his signature.

Back in Dortmund, there's not much to say about Perna except that his attributes have stopped dropping, which can only be a good thing. The media, in the meantime, have labelled him the next Oscar Ruggeri.

Akshay Rao's season hasn't kicked off yet, but he's turning into a very good box-to-box prospect.

Pratik Sangle has played 16 games for Hannover so far, scoring once and providing an assist. He has also seen some improvement in the training ground, his crossing in particular rising to an acceptable 14.

Southampton's youngster Dave Silva hasn't seen any action this year, and with his club having signed Gylfi Sigurdsson and Nicolas Lodeiro after the sacking of Pochettino, he might have to start looking for pastures new...

Smith and Trowers have spent most of the season playing for Dortmund's youth squad, although they have played 3 games for the first team combined. Unfortunately for them, they rating didn't even get to 6 in any of those.

Ross Whitehead has only played a Cup game for Arsenal this term, but with all three of Arsenal's senior centre-halves over the age of 30 he could force his way into the setup sooner rather than later. There's been a surprise, however, in the fact that Arsene Wenger got the boot, to be replaced by Luciano Spalletti, who hasn't been so keen on playing youngsters so far...
 
no news this time, but I should be back at United soon and possibly overtake Fellaini.....
 
End of season update.

England u-19 international Booker might be seeing some regular action for the first time as he secures a season-long loan move to Hearts, who regard him as a key player. Hopefully this will help his developement.

Mounting a late push for promotion, Albion Rovers lost one of their last 12 games to reach the play-offs. After wins against Alloa and Dunfermline, they managed the amazing feat of back-to-back promotions. As the key player in their campaign, Billy Bryant earned the League 1 Player of the Year award, having managed 7 assists and 4 goals in 37 seven league games, including the play-offs, with 6 man of the match awards and an average rating of 7.23. With interest from Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and Dundee United, will Billy Bryant stay with Rovers and become a legend, or move to a bigger club and try to develope his talents alongside the biggest names in the game?

Conordinho played 9 games for Killie this season, providing an assist. Not happy with his bit-part role, he refused an extension, alerting Arsenal and Chelsea of his availability, and he could be on the move sooner rather than later.

Timo Downing didn't see first-team action at all this term, and the player's morale has plummeted as a result. This hasn't deterred the German youth managers from selecting him, however, and he has added another u-21 cap to his total.

While Brad Dylan didn't see any action since his move to Chelsea, his good performances for Bala were not easily forgotten by the Welsh, and he was duly rewarded by being named Young Player of the Year despite having played just 19 games during the season.

Cliftonville finished the season in a disappointing 3rd place, 21 points behind champions Linfield. It was just as disappointing a season for Thomas Hornsletten, who despite his 5 assists and 3 goals in 30 games only managed an average rating of 6.77. There's some good news, however, as he is picked by England u-19 and Arsenal and Liverpool have been tracking him. Could a dream move to Merseyside be on the cards?

While not seeing much action since returning to Dortmund, McCabe's stock with the Australia management is ever rising, and he has been picked up for the u-23 squad that will represent his nation at the Olympics this year. Best of lucks to him!

Andreas Naterr's season wasn't a happy one, being mostly relegated to the bench and, as his contract was nearing an end, to the u-19 squad. However, he has signed an extension with The Terrors, for some reason. On a brighter note, his potential attracted the Scottish FA who have invited him to join their u-21 squad, which he has done.

A rather unremarkable season for the Argentine youngster, not seeing much game time for either club or country, nor significant improvement in the training ground. The need for regular games is pressing and he won't be getting many for the German giants.

View attachment 421617

A decent start to the season for Akshay Rao, including two assists, has been cut short by a hamstring injury that will sadly keep him out of the pitch for at least a few more weeks. His team have suffered in his absence, dropping from 3rd to 5th place. His injury also came at a time where he was starting to carve himself a place in England's youth setup, being picked for u-19 games.

A good season for Pratik Sangle, playing 25 games, scoring once and creating another goal. The most relevant news, however, is his debut for Northern Ireland against Montenegro last March. Being only a friendly, though, he is still eligible for India, should he decide to switch allegiances once again.

View attachment 421604
Dave Silva has been getting more game time for his nation than for his club, as the youngster finds himself stuck in his team's youth setup alongside Timo Downing. With some luck a few loans offers will come his way soon.

View attachment 421600

Like most of those who moved to the bigger clubs, Smith hasn't seen much action. He has, however, been retrained to a right-back during his spell in Germany.

View attachment 421599

Not much to mention here as Trowers suffers from the same lack of games as most of the rest of us. An increase in some of his attributes can be seen, however, in spite of recent injuries.

View attachment 421598

Whitehead finally made his league debut for Arsenal, starting alongside Mertesacker in the final league game of the season, a 2-2 against Cardiff, after his team had secured Champions League football for next season after a dissapointing 12th place a season ago. Could Whitehead be the first of the bunch to play in an actual CL game?
 
Also, Billy Bryant has grown fat, I guess he's been eating too much haggis up North.
 
the workrate reflects me in real life..... but why so less appearances? :(

It's not bad, most of us aren't getting any games and you've played 25 in the Bundesliga :p It's more than twice than last season, probably will improve in the next one.
 
I'll try to post something else later tonight.
 
End of summer window update.

Billy Bryant moves to Southampton for 75k, after 99 apps, 11 goals and 23 assists in various Scottish leagues for Albion Rovers.

Conordinho moves to Chelsea for a figure close to 1m. He will be loaned back to Kilmarnock for the season.

Timo Downing moves to Olympiakos on loan after a projected loan deal with Brighton failed.

Thomas Hornsletten makes a dream move to Liverpool for 64k.

Ross Whitbread returns to Scotland, joining Inverness Caledonian Thistle on a season long loan from Arsenal.
 
Got my move :D but hoping for a loan deal now to get some game time.
 
Thomas Hornsletten makes a dream move to Liverpool for 64k.
WEEEEE!!!!! I will be a lengend here:)

 
Yay Olympiakos, maybe I'll actually get some playing time now.
