Going nicely so far! Are you just not playing anyone over 30? Chelsea look like they could be tough to beat though.

To an extent yes, there 5 players over 30 in the squad, i managed to sell Demichellis, and put Yaya Toure and Sagna in the reserves when nobody wanted them, I have kept Lampard in the side as hes only on loan and im already giving Toure up without a replacement and Caballero will be going as soon as i can bring in a replacement backup keeper, thanks for reading

Premier League V Sunderland

3 early goals sealed another victory whilst Mangala did try and make it hard for us by getting sent off a couple of minutes into the second half but we managed to hang on.

Premier League V Arsenal

View attachment 279875

Oh what a result! Frank Lampard rolled back the years as he scored a couple of penalties and grabbed a third goal for his hattrick and even young centre back Bossaerts got in on the action with a late goal to destroy Arsenal.

Champions League V Porto

View attachment 279874

I rested a few players and it really did show as we went behind early on before getting back on track with a Jovetic equalizer, We then had Nasri score what looked like the winner but Tello hit back almost immediately and we dropped points for the first time in Europe this season.

Navas and Lampard scored a couple of very early goals before Jovetic notched a late penalty to confirm the victory but they did manage a late consolation goal.

Oh ****** we probably get one of the toughest draws possible considering we topped our group and face Atletico Madrid.

Premier League V Crystal Palace

View attachment 279870

Another dominant display as we yet again get all of our goals before half time and Lampard has been in fine form in recent weeks whilst my Midfielders have been getting all the goals with strikers missing.

Navas scored a goal either side of a Pelle equalizer as yet again my Strikers fail to score but Midfielders dont.

Premier League V Stoke

View attachment 279867

A comfortable win yet again we seem to be the masters of the 3 goal victory but at least Aguero scored this time after Lampard and Silva had scored first.

16 wins out of 19 games but were only 3 points ahead of Chelsea before the turn of the New Year, Our goal difference is massive though mainly thanks to only conceding 9 goals in our 19 league games.

FA Cup 3rd Rnd V Swindon

View attachment 279437

So i made a whole host of changes to the side and we really dominated the game with our younger side but again even our youngsters struggle to get the ball in the back of the net, Brandon Barker had a man of the match performance whilst Iheanacho scored the winner with 20 minutes to go.

Oh ******, we had the better chances and more possesion but end the match losers after an even start Aguero had a chance to put us back in charge with a penalty but missed and it all went to pot from there with them scoring twice more as we lose to one of our main Title Rivals.

No One Wants My Players!

View attachment 279433

I dont have much money at the moment but i did manage to bring in a brilliant player on loan for the rest of the season and a future fee if we want to buy him of £26Million in the shape of Real Madrid Youngster Jese

View attachment 279432​
 
Your injury woes with Aguero are astoundingly bad. If I were you, I'd consider signing Munir or Gabriel Barbosa. They are both brilliant strikers and they are both in the under 21 category.

If you want young English striker, I'd go with Cauley Woodrow or Saido Berahino.

Not a bad debut for Jese! He grabs two goals and sets up both of Aguero's goals too! Everton had two players sent off late on when the game was all but over.

This is a concern as we only have youngsters left to fill the void with Demichellis being sold in the Summer too i have left myself a bit short.

We finally bring in a player in the shape of A CM from Argentina called Matias Kranevitter, one of my goals for this save was not to just bring in young players but some of the lesser known players and he looks good for just £7.5Million and is seen as better than Fernando and Fernadinho in the DMC role already

Navas gets the important goals whilst Aguero nets again, he seems to be really enjoying being Captain whilst Kompany is out injured as his goalscoring touch has returned.

Premier League V West Ham

View attachment 279249

All 3 of my winter signings start for the first in this match but Jese went off injured shortly after half time, we did have Munir to thank for the 3 points though as he scored a wonderful solo goal on his official debut.

A lot of changes were made to the first team including young prospect Barker who scored the only goal of the game to see us through to the FA Cup Quarter Finals.

Premier League V Leicester

View attachment 279247

Aguero and Silva get the important goals as we beat another one of the lower teams, we really dont seem to lose our focus when facing the lesser teams and have only lost to Chelsea and Liverpool in the league so far this season.

We beat lowly Burnley but only just whilst Navas got the only goal of the game before going off injured not long after.

4-3 to us and we march on to the Semi Finals but we really should have had it easier, we dominated play and they only had 4 shots and scored 3 goals! Nasri scored a very late winner for his second goal of the afternoon and Lampard netted twice. The big shock for us was Man Utd Youth Intake Player scoring 1 minute into his debut!

So it was back to back derby games for us and we came out on top again as all 3 goals are scored before the half hour mark with Jese grabbing the winner before the half hour mark. Mangala made it difficult for us by getting sent off around half time and i had to take off Navas to give us an extra defender which all but killed our attacking options.

Premier League V QPR

A gave Munir a chance to impress and he did well scoring after a couple of minutes whilst Jese secured the win late on, who would have thought a loanee from Real Madrid would link up so well with a loanee from rival club Barcelona.

Everything is even with Chelsea up at the top but they have a slightly better goal difference, in the run in i would say we have it easier with Arsenal and Southampton left to play out of the better teams whilst Chelsea have Arsenal, Southampton and Liverpool.​
 
Really nice season so far man! I signed Munir once and he seemed to underperform, will be interesting to see how he does for you. Nice to see Utd drop off as well ;)

Thanks mate, yeah im hoping Munir works out for me but im guessing getting him game time is going to be the biggest thing for me.

going well mate. will be good if you can win the league first season. do you think you will/can buy munir and jese in the summer?
Click to expand...
Im not sure, to buy both of them your looking at around £60Million so i think i may have to chose one or see who else i can get for cheaper, but with the under 21 rule i have in place i have less than a year before Jese is out of reach.

Arsenal could well be the Title Deciders as they hold us to a draw before going on to face Chelsea next in the league, We had the unfortunate time of having two important players go off injured before Joe Hart scored an own goal on the hour mark, but that man Jesus Navas popped up again and managed to save our Title Bid with a very late equalizer.
