Everton will surely be seeking revenge to their opening day humiliation.
No team will accept a 4-1 loss and not come out with fire in their bellies the next game.
I'm going to have to be sure they don't sneak a win against us and I'll certianly
be looking for the 3 points to help our own Champions League cause.

I know what you mean. I get a wee bit annoyed when I see the same names being signed in every story. I don't conciser buying wonderkids to be "focusing on youth." I'm even going to avoid raiding the other clubs youth intakes; unless the kids place of birth is "Liverpool", then he literally belongs to me :p (But each to their own, I'd never dream of telling someone how to play their game)

I'm even giving the likes of John Flanagan (A two star CA/PA mind you) a go in the first team and he's giving Glen Johnson a run for his money. I judge players on their stats, not their stars.

At Chelsea, I had to play Milan Lalkovic in FM13 when half of my team was injured, and he was HG/Club trained U21 so didn't need to register him for CL, the dude scored hat-trick on his debut against Shakhtar. He had 2Star PA/ Half/one star CA. That is at the club with Eden Hazard (185PA). His stats are awful too, yet he assisted and scored quite a bit, saved my CL campaign until Jan Window. Although he was inconsistent so didn't keep him around. The point is, even the guys with Less PA and crappy stats can play well. This makes game a bit more realistic.
It's the same guy who's currently struggling in League One xD

Aye, it is unrealistic but I added it for the drama. This story is good fun to write and that's what I'm prioritizing here: I want it to be a good read.
 
Transfer Update

Liverpool have today announced the signing of Julian Brandt on a
pre-contract agreement.

View attachment 437140
I entered into Pre-contract talks with Victor Valdes but no Goalkeeper is worth ?150k p/w.
I don't care how many titles or medals he has to his name, you don't wear this club's badge for money, you
wear it for passion!

As expected, The media is rife with transfer rumors about Luis Suarez. With Scouts from Real Madrid and Manchester City have been spotted in the stands at Anfield. 60M is the minimum I'll accept. With 2 and a half years remaining on his contract, we don't need to sell so they better make it worth my while.

just started a liverpool save so will be watching this and comparing.
 
Transfer Update No.2

Igor Akinfeev
View attachment 437102
CSKA Moscow captain, Igor Akinfeev has signed a pre-contract agreement with Liverpool.

View attachment 437103
View attachment 437099
I could have signed his for about 1.5M but I decided to get him on a pre-contract agreement so he could continue playing regularly in the Russian Premier Division. CSKA Moscow are in the UEFA Europa League 1st Knockout Round (Vs PSV) so I was reluctant to pull him out of that to only be rotated with (an in form) Fraser Forster.

Long term plan and thinking.
 Given that I'm aiming for Champions League, the increased number of games means I'll need two goalkeepers
who can excel at the top level. Mingolet, while being a decent back-up, dose not deserve the wages he's getting (40k p/w) whereas Akinfeev agreed to join the club for the same wages, has 271 Russian Premier Division appearances to him name: has conceded only 33 goals in 28 games this year, keeping 7 clean sheet with an average rating of 7.18 (stats in all competitions). I feel he would give better competition to Forster and since he's only 27 (28 by the time he arrive) and he is young enough to be here for a while, and his Driven personality, high mental stats and Determination of 17, I feel he could be a good role model for the youth keepers.

Luis Alberto
View attachment 437085
Decent player, decent stats. He's got a future at the club but was being kept out of the team by a
Coutinho in terrific form. I've sent him out on loan to Reading till the end of the season.

New Feeder Club Announced


View attachment 437084

Link Type
The parent team has first option on the feeders club's players


I see this as a long term deal. Rangers is a club that needs to build form the ground up and with Superb training facilities and Great youth facilities, their youth players will be of a great potential and in a good position to reach that potential. Once Rangers get back to the Scottish Premier League, they will no doubt be back fighting for the Scottish Champions league place so my on loan players with them get to experience a title challenge and playing in the Champions League.

I'm a huge Liverpool fan, and I love a good FM story with some photoshop, you're killing it! Amazing read mate :) Keep up the good work, I love it!

Transfer Update No.3

Fought off competition from Arsenal, Spurs, City, R.Madrid and B.Munich for this little gem.
With solid mental and physical stats, I can focus training in Marking, Composure and Quickness.
Given the right game time and good tutoring, I think this kid could be world class.

Victor Moses
View attachment 437073
Decided to terminate his loan since he wasn't getting game time in my team.
My tactics changed over the season and now I'm not utilizing wingers so he's surplus to requirements.

Simon Mignolet
View attachment 437077

Simon Mignolet has joined FC Bayern Munchen on Loan until the end of the season.
Despite only setting his squad status as "Back-up" they did offer to pay 100% of the Belgian's
wages, and at 40k a week, that a lot of money sitting on the bench.

When I started this save, I had full well intended to use Mignolet as my first team GK but his broken arm
at the end of the pre-season forced me to bring someone in. . . . and Fraser Forster has made himself undroppable!

He's a good goalkeeper but I've put him on the Transfer List. With Akinfeev on his way to Merseyside, I don't
see room for the Belgian in my squad.

View attachment 436849

Been a long term admirer of this kid and he became available.
He's a Liverpool fan so he'll be fired up for the derbies, he's quick and agile which suits
how I want my strikers to play. His PPMs (Moves into Channels and Places Shots) as well as being a two footed
player (Left: Fairly Strong; Right: Very Strong) means I can play him either side of Coutinho.

4.8M pounds up front this deal cost me but I'm happy with it.
He's 21 so it's part of my vision for the club.

Iago Aspas
View attachment 436841
I've let Iago Aspas join West Brom on loan until the end of the season. I didn't see the Spanish striker competing more than he had been and with the increased competition I felt it was time for him to be moved on.

A Jordon Ibe Hat-trick (2, 24, 25) signed off a great display of attacking football from Liverpool.


Everon F.C. vs Liverpool F.C.
Premier League
3-2

We had more shots, we had more on target, we had more possession, but we had fewer goals.
A loss to Everton is always tough to take and this one hurt.

Leighton Baines (pen 32), Romelu Lukaku (47), Gerard Deulofeu (79): Luis Suarez (41), Daniel Sturridge (80)

Norwich City vs Liverpool F.C.

61% possession, 13 shots on target. We showed our gulf in class here.
Another FA Cup Hat-trick for Liverpool, this time it was Coutinho (20, 66, 73) and James Vaughan (47)

​


Liverpool F.C. vs Stoke City
Premier League
2-2

I was worried I might loose this. We dominated (60% possession) but Stoke were lethal from dead ball.
Luis Suarez proved the saviour of the side as he snacthed a draw 2 minutes form time. Lucas was shown a straight red card on 73 mins. He'll miss two massive fixtures in Manchester United and Chelsea F.C.
Mamadou Sakho (8), Luis Suarez (88); Peter Crouch (5), Brek Shea (33)

1-0


View attachment 436605
Effectively ruled Arsenal out of the race for the European spots whereas we stole 4th place.
It's looking like a good end of the season for us as we clear 3 (United, Chelsea 7 Arsenal) of
the big 4 (only City left) teams to play.

Sound man. I've been trying to keep the form going but all the draws are killing me: Conceding too many goals but when you look at how many I've scored, I'm not surprised.

I have that problem in my Wolves save. Way too many draws. Pretty sure we got more draws than wins, however many other teams were drawing as well which made a close table so it was still good fun. :)
