AIMS FOR THIS SAVE:

1) Win every top Division in Football Manager.
2) Win every International tournament.
3) Win every European club tournament.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hopefully we can achieve all the aims set but the main aim besides all of the above is just to try out different teams and tactics. I haven't had any motivation to make a story lately which is why I stopped writing my Cardiff one but I still do play the save. So lets get into the team I have chosen to manage first.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

VfL WOLFSBURG

View attachment 453432
Not the best club in the Bundesliga but definitely a fun team to manage as they are financially stable and have decent training and youth facilities. Predicted to finish 5th this season which I think is reasonable and anything above this position is a bonus.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MEET THE SQUAD

Goalkeepers: Benaglio, Grun, Saub
Centre Backs: Felipe, Naldo, Klose, Knoche, Medojevic
Full Backs: Trasch, Rodriguez, Ochs, Schafer
Wingers: Caligiuri, Perisic, Vieirinha
Central Midfielders: Gustavo, Ja-Cheol, Polak, Arnold, Diego
Strikers: Dost, Olic
Overall a pretty decent squad with a decent balance of young and experienced players. The wingers are all very talented and rather pacey which helps as Diego is a great off loader of the ball. Gustavo is a great holding midfielder and has CL experience playing at Bayern Munich last season.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TRANSFER BUDGET

AUGUST ROUND UP

Alvaro Morata joins as our main man.

We start the season against Dortmund.

German Cup 1st round against Fortuna Koln.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Koln made it harder than it should have been. A decent point against Dortmund. 7 points out of a possible 9 in league with Morata slowly making his mark.

A decent start to the season still unbeaten getting two wins and two draws. A pretty decent defensive showing so far.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSFER ROUND UP

View attachment 453368

Safe to say Morata took up all of our budget. Other transfers see Volland join Bayern and Fiorentina's Savic joining Dortmund.

SEPTEMBER ROUND UP

German Cup 2nd Round vs Werder Bremen.

We go away to Bayern Munich.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIXTURES

The two Brazilians gave us the win in the German Cup. Dost rescued a point against Leverkusen as they dominated us. Freiburg proved tough but we pulled through with both wingers getting a goal each. Total heartbreak against Bayern as we hit the post and the bar.

Bayern give us our 1st loss even though we probably deserved a point from that game. Overall a decent ending to the month as we prove we are capable of creating chances against the top sides.

OCTOBER ROUND UP

We host Schalke at home.

Perisic runs the show.

High and flying in the Bundesliga.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OCTOBER FIXTURES

View attachment 453115

Perisic plays out of his skin this month netting 4 goals three of them being against Mainz. Perisic then handed it over to Morata who done the business to secure an away win against Hannover. Schalke were sitting in 1st place before we smashed them 4-1, a great result as we had two players sent off.

Sitting comfortably in second place behind German super power Bayern. However, it is very tight at the top with three points separating 1st and 6th place.​

NOVEMBER ROUND UP

Perisic gets another hat trick.

10 goals scored in 4 games.

Morata settled in nicely.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We cruise past Frankfurt and Hertha BSC. Dominated Braunschweig but they hold out for a 0-0 draw.

Still in a very decent position going into December.​

DECEMBER ROUND UP

German Cup 3rd round away to Schalke.

Ending 2013 on a high.

Perisic still banging in goals.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Impressive win against Schalke in the German Cup. Stuttgart equalise late to secure a point at home. Another two wins in the League sees us go top.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are in 1st place but Dortmund has one game in hand and Bayern have to games in hand so it could all change.​

JANUARY ROUND UP

3 Friendly games and 2 league games this month as we face Dortmund.

Malanda returns from loan.

Dortmund go back into 1st place.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIXTURES

A great performance against Hoffenheim gave us the confidence to steal all 3 points at Dortmund. They dominated the game but we held on to Naldo's goal just before half time.

Kun's tactic works amazing at home and my tactic is just to see out the away games and hopefully get the 3 points.​

FEBRUARY ROUND UP

We advance into the Semi finals of the German Cup.

A disappointing performance against Gladbach.

Perisic scores two more penalties.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIXTURES

View attachment 453006

We win 3 out of our 4 games in the league which leaves us in a nice position in the closing stages of the season. The German Cup win draws us with Hannover in the Semi Finals.

Maybe we are going to win the league in the 1st season. If im honest I don't want to win the league because I want to play a European Cup with them but if I win it in this season then I will move club.​
 
Tekkers! Awesome that your first and perisic is awesome!

MARCH ROUND UP

A tough month playing Bayern and Schalke.

Once again the Perisic show.

Olic comes on and helps us get 3 points.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Perisic scores 3 goals again this month. A valid effort against Bayern but in the end they were to strong.

Guaranteed Champions League football but we are sitting in 2nd place as Dortmund sit nicely in 1st.​
 
If you want to win every top division in the game, it was a stupid move starting in Germany...
