So the two Spanish Giants are favourites this year and we still have our odds of 5000-1 if we have a good go at the group stages this year im hoping we will get to be 3rd seeds for the groups next season​

Porto - Home

View attachment 465617

Porto didnt know what hit them as we smashed in 2 goals in 5 minutes and then parked the bus, An important win to start of the Group Stages.

Shakhtar - Away

View attachment 465616

So it looked like we were heading for a bore draw against the one team we should be able to beat, So as im a tactical Genius i used the Overload and go crazy button and won 3-1.

So were 2 for 2, I cant see us beating Barca but a win from Shakhtar at home may secure us a spot in the Knockout stages.

up next domestic​

Draw to Sligo at the end of the month is the only blip in a near perfect month, So many fixtures have piled up though as we play 9 games in October could be 10 with the Sligo game being a replay.

Player Stats

View attachment 465596

I think it shows how much i tinkered with the side in the league to keep everyone fresh with Ollie Kent who can play anywhere across the back playing the most games at 27. So nobody played the full 33 and some of our key players like striker Rzatkowski only played 22 league games being rested for 11.

Barcelona - Home

Dominated!

Porto - Away

View attachment 465396

Was expecting to put up more of a fight in this game but AOC was on fire against us, We need to win the last game against Shakhtar and will qualify for the knockout stages no matter what the other result is.

Shakhtar - Home

View attachment 465395

A very even match but the Home advantage gave us that edge and we got the 3 points and most importantly qualified for the Knockouts!

Top Goalscorer - Dominik Rzatkowski - 41 goals

For the first time in 10 years David *** is not our top goalscorer as Rzatkowski bashes in 41 goals in 45 games.

Player of the Year - Tom Nangle - AMR

View attachment 465362

Simple an amazing player! Does wonders for me but doesn't have crazy ambitions as he has never looked to leave and isnt on silly money.

Young Player of the Year - Fanouris Astras

View attachment 465361

The young German bashed in 24 goals in 34 games, I love all of my German contingent, Germans on FM are too good.

I know man have draw with Chelsea once and lost the other 3 times we have played them, facilities are currently classed at top training facilities and the youth as good, despite only having 15,000 seats some of the cup games let us have standing as our capacity is 26,500.
 
****. Chelski will be a tough ask, but good luck though.

Pre-Season - 2023

Season Expectations

View attachment 465294

Right so we have a brilliant squad and 8 players coming back from loan deals who have brilliant potential so there wont be too many deals this window.

Transfer History

View attachment 465293

So a few squad players leave but none of the first team, i let 2 CB's go as we have a couple of young Irish CB's coming through the same with the midfield roles, Lorcan Shannon went donwnhill big time after being one of our best players 2 seasons ago.

Players In;

Florian Otto - DC/DM/CM

View attachment 465292

I do love a German regen! We now have 7 German players all of them signed on free transfers and 5 of them in the starting line up and he could well push into that by the end of the season.

Danny Rose DL/AML

View attachment 465291

Good quality player to sign and cover in a couple of positions we are lacking in, last season the two Germans Sesterhenn and Carpentier needed some cover as both were fatigued come end of the season last year.


Finally our Portugese GK wins his first International Cap and look who the Manager is?!?

Champions League 1st Knockout rnd 2023

Chelsea have not changed one bit as a club in the 11 seasons i have played as they sacked Benitez after giving him a 5 year deal the season before, brought in Guardiola, sacked him within 6 months, Then Spalletti came in for a few seasons and was sacked replaced by Frank De Boer who was then fired and AVB returned to Chelsea, AVB lasted 3 seasons before getting sacked and Chelsea's current manager is Spalletti again!

Chelsea - Home

View attachment 465288

Coughlan really didnt help us getting sent of so early in the match as we had to really sit the game out for the rest of the 70 minutes, I thought we defended well and deserved a draw but Old man Lewandowski got them the winner.

Chelsea - Away

View attachment 465287

We fought hard but ultimately never looked like winning, But we didnt get thrashed by them and i think it showed improvement from our side.

Great start, just unlucky about Chelski. Otto looks awesome, he would be good at a mid table prem team.
