1. Brane Ormso - 57 Games, 36 Goals, 3 Assists, 1 WC Goal - 155 Points
Where in the world did this season come from? Ormso as surely secured himself as the best pure goal scorer in the history of LSS!! Banged in 26 goals in the premier league alone to secure his third golden boot in various leagues. It's almost as if he knew it was a World Cup year and banged in the goals for Arsenal in order to force himself into the English national team set up. Was part of the England team that exceeded expectations by finishing third and even scored a late 115th minute equalizer for Arsenal in the Round of 16. Led Arsenal to a double of the Europa league and the league cup along with a mention in the premier league team of the year.

2. Daniel Porter - 62 Games, 33 Goals, 2 Assists - 134 Points
This is probably the strangest thing I have ever seen, despite scoring 33 goals for Leicester along with 18 in the premier league while finishing as the 4th top scorer in the entire league, Daniel Porter did not make the England squad for the World Cup and is still yet to make an appearance for his country. Led Leicester City to a FA Cup final and scored a goal in the 3-1 loss to Chelsea. Ironically, Porter signed for Chelsea late in the summer for a 110 million!! Surely if he scores for Chelsea, he'll get called up for England? In theory.

3. Shane Tracz - 45 Games, 25 Goals, 2 Assists, 1 INT Goal, 3 WC Goals - 130 Points
Shane banged in 19 goals for Southampton in the league while finishing as the third top scorer in the league. Continued his form for England in the World Cup with three goals and two coming in the third place 3-1 triumph over Mexico. Shane was the name on every big club's wish list after an impressive world cup campaign. Ultimately chose to sign for Manchester City for a club record 106 million transfer! Can he do it for Manchester City, with the best of the best?

4. Simon Medina - 43 Games, 24 Goals, 8 Assists, 2 INT Goals - 112 Points
Simon Medina lived up to the huge price tag after all! Led Leipzig to their first ever Bundesliga trophy! Finished as the second top scorer in the league and was named the Bundesliga player of the year! However, Simon was very disappointing for Argentina at the World Cup as they crashed and burned out in the Round of 16. However, the season he had with Leipzig as cemented him as one of the very best in the world, is a Ballon'D'Or potentially in his near future?

5. Sven Jensen - 50 Games, 15 Goals, 4 Assists, 5 INT Goals, 3 WC Goals - 108 Points
Sven had a breakout season for Tottenham and Denmark. 8 total international goals on the season is a highlight of how effective he was. Led Denmark to the quaterfinals of the world cup and even scored the equalizer in the eventual 2-1 loss to Mexico.

6. Hugo Caldeira - 48 Games, 19 Goals, 2 Assists, 5 INT Goals - 98 Points
Hugo did well on loan at Villarreal, finally got the playing time he deserved and responded with a great season in Spain. Did not have a great WC for a Portugal team that was unlucky to lose on penalties to England. Will be interesting to see what Monaco chooses to do with their young talent.

7. Rasmus Nybo - 43 Games, 13 Games, 3 Assists, 6 INT Goals - 79 Points
Decent season for Bournemouth leading up to the world cup, unfortunately could not do enough to get Norway to the world cup although he did all that he could. Signed for Atletico Madrid for 60 million soon after the season ended and will now look to bang in the goals with a much improved producing cast.

8. Edan Laffoley - 44 Games, 16 Goals, 3 Assists - 67 Points
Edan did well for Leicester but was in the shadow of Daniel Porter for a large part of the season and that cost him as he could not further add to his 1 England national team appearance before the season and did not make the world cup squad. However, with Daniel signing for Chelsea, Edan will be hoping Leicester spend the money on a better midfield to help give him more opportunities to bang in the goals as the new number 1 striker.

9. Dickie Davies - 34 Games, 8 Goals, 1 Assist, 7 INT Goals, 1 WC Goal - 65 Points
Was not overly impressive for Tottenham but more than made up for that with the South Korean national team. Did not make it out of the group stage with South Korea but more than impressed as he led South Korea to 4 points in the group of death that had Mexico, Germany and Uruguay also in the group. Will look to now repeat his national team form for Tottenham.

10. Arnold Schwarz - 22 Games, 11 Goals, 2 INT Goals - 52 Points
A very very very strange season for Arnold. Started the season at Bayern as they chose not to send him on loan but had only played 9 games for the team by the time January came around. But the 4 goals in 9 Games was good enough for Manchester City to sign him for 89 million! 89 million for a guy who had not done much at that point in the season. Responded with 7 goals in 13 games for Manchester City for a guy that is now the most expensive German transfer of all time. Unfortunately, Austria did not qualify for the world cup. Will Arnold lead up to the price tag with Shane also in the squad now?

11. Kono Yukinari - 23 Games, 5 Goals, 2 Assists, 4 INT Goals, 1 WC Goal - 46 Points
Kono was mostly a backup striker for Liverpool but did take his opportunities for the national team. The US did not make it out of the group stages of the world cup but did manage to grab a goal. Kono will have to improve on his club form if he hopes to survive next season.

12. Loki Thorsson - 24 Games, 6 Goals, 2 Assists, 3 INT Goals, 2 WC Goals - 46 Points
Spent the entire season at Monaco and did well as a back up striker for the team, will be concerned about his place in the team with Hugo Caldeira returning to the club after a successful season on loan. Loki will be happy he played well for Denmark at the world cup as they went all the way to the quarter finals including 2 goals in a 5-1 round of 16 demolition of Senegal.

13. Holdma Deek - 21 Games, 4 Goals, 2 INT Goals - 24 Points
Last place by quite some margin. The elimination had be coming for quite some time. Got the loan move he needed at Getafe but could not score the goals, Iraq also did not qualify for the World Cup and that cost him.



ARNOLD SCHWARZ HAS BEEN ARWARDED WITH THE +10 CA BOOST AS FRANCE WON THE WORLD CUP!
 
Should have picked a 2nd nationality with San Marino, I surely would be a legend for them by now!
Massively happy with how that season has gone though!
 
Weird year! At least that +10CA might help me grab a startling spot for City!
 
Fairly happy with how the season has gone.
Im a little concerned about signing for city though.
 
Where did that season from my Brane Ormso come from! Not complaining mind, nice to see him make the step up from the lower leagues and not getting recognition from the England set up.
 
not sure how Dickie will do at Spurs with the other 2 strikers they have, here's hoping he keeps banging them in for Korea
 
Maybe I was wrong about having to leave for first team football.
 
Thorsson needs regular first team football otherwise I fear he will be out next round. He's never going to be top scorer if he stays in France he really needs to push on now. A poor season in my view.​
 
SEASON 6 UPDATES
View attachment 71782​
1. Brane Ormso - 52 Games, 36 Goals, 5 Assists, 7 International Goals - 177 Points
Brane looks to be running away with the competition after another incredible season. No doubt in my mind, he is the best pure scorer to have ever come through the LSS. Finished with 25 goals in the league on route to winning another premier league golden boot. 7 International Goals on the season and is now clearly one of the names on the England team sheet but can he continue his incredible form?

2. Arnold Schwarz - 36 Games, 21 Goals, 13 International Goals - 132 Points
Arnold jumped from 10th to 2nd largely thanks to his improved playing time at Manchester City on the season. With no Lewandowski type talent on the team, Arnold as come into his own as a number 1 striker. The true beauty of Arnold's form though was with the Austrian national team as he scored 13 goals in just 9 international games. Can he combine club and international form along with more games to challenge Brane for the top spot?

3. Simon Medina - 44 Games, 25 Goals, 12 Assists, 3 INT Goals - 127 Points
Brane is the best pure goal scorer we have ever had just as Simon is the most complete forward we have had. Simon is the only strike LSS has ever had capable of producing 25+ goals and 10+ assists at a consistent rate. Already viewed as one of the best players in the world, Simon led Leipzig to a second straight Bundesliga trophy and the second top scorer in the league. It is believed Simon would have won the Ballon'D'or if not for a poor world cup.

4. Kono Yukinari - 53 Games, 20 Goals, 2 Assists, 9 INT Goals - 118 Points
Kono finally got the games with Liverpool and responded with a great season. Also continued his great from with 9 more international goals to take the U.S. National team to 14th in the World. If he can score just a few more goals for Liverpool, he could potentially challenge for a top spot.

5. Edan Laffoley - 44 Games, 23 Goals, 5 Assists - 97 Points
Edan has taken over the Porter curse, phenomenal season for Leicester City but did not get any looks to further his sole appearance for the England national team. Slight positive is if he retires without another international appearance, he'll finish with one of the highest international goal ratios in history at 2:1.

6. Sven Jensen - 52 Games, 15 Goals, 3 Assists, 6 International Goals - 87 Points
Great season for Tottenham and Denmark, got the games he needed but will look to improve his goal scoring form if he hopes to win the competition.

7. Rasmus Nybo - 28 Games, 14 Goals, 1 Assist, 7 International Goals - 85 Points
Great goalscoring form for Rasmus through the season but unfortunately only got 28 games for Atletico Madrid. Also helped Atletico secure their first La Liga trophy in the nine years since the 2013/14 triumph.

8. Dickie Davies - 27 Games, 7 Goals, 11 International Goals - 72 Points
Decent season for Tottenham, however spent the season backing up Harry Kane and Sven Jensen. Would have had a disappointing season if not for his incredible form for the now 15th ranked South Korean national team.

9. Daniel Porter - 40 Games, 14 Goals, 1 Assist, 3 International Goals - 69 Points
Ironically, Daniel breaks through for the national team in what has been his worst season in recent years, but did take advantage of his 4 national team appearances by banging in 3 goals. The move to Chelsea worked in terms of getting international notoriety but will be disappoint that the majority of his 40 club appearances came off the bench. Will be interesting to see if he can get more starts next season.

10. Shane Tracz - 25 Games, 8 Goals, 5 International Goals - 52 Points
Disappointing season. Shane drops from 3rd to 10th after his big money move to Manchester City. Curious to see where he goes from this point, no doubt in that if he gets the games he will score the goals but will he get the games before its too late? Will be happy to now be the beneficiary of what once kept him out of the national team; getting the international playing time even though his club form suggests he shouldn't but can you really argue against the 5 international goals on the season?

11. Loki Thorsson - 27 Games, 9 Goals, 2 Assists, 4 International Goals - 45 Points
Loki decided to stay at Monaco for the season and although he played a reasonable amount he will have been disappointed to play as sparingly as he did. Will surely be the favorite for elimination next season.

12. Hugo Caldeira - 4 Games, 2 Goals, 2 International Goals - 8 Points
Hugo was betrayed by Monaco and it cost him. Monaco refused to play him in the first half of the season before finally letting him join Leipzig. Sadly could not get any games behind Simon Medina and Miguel Palmer.



NEXT SEASON WILL HAVE AN UPDATE ON EVERY PLAYER WE STARTED THE SEASON WITH!
