So we started the month in Newcastle were we took an early 3 goal lead before they fought back in the second half with a couple of goals but we were able to cling on for the 3 points. After this match it was confirmed we needed 2 wins from our last 3 games to confirm the title. Falcao then scored for his 7th game in a row as we comfortably beat Hull 3-1 with Falcao grabbing a very early goal again.
We then went into the West Ham game knowing a win would seal the title, Falcao scored both of our goals to score for the 8th game in a row and his 10th goal in the last 8 games to secure the league title!
With nothing to play for in the final game i still put out a decent team with Di Maria opening the scoring before another Wanyama wondergoal sealed the 3 points.

Man Utd Win Premier League!

So in the end we won the league comfortably, 6 points clear of second placed Chelsea, Falcao lead the way with a shed load more goals than any other player whilst Rafael and recent signing Wanyama had the best average ratings in the league whilst Januzaj had to settle with joint most assists.

All in all an incredible 1st season!​

Best Eleven - This Season

View attachment 328508

Season Summary

So basically the league title was a massive shock win for us but i really cant see us retaining it next season down to the fact the board have given me minimal money for next season to strengthen the squad and i get very little money back from players i do manage to sell. I will be in the Champions League next season and im aiming to reach the knockout stages of that plus make the top 3 in the league and do a lot better in the other cup competitions. Falcao was our shining light this year so i really need to sort out his permanent transfer whilst the future is looking bright with a lot of our best players this season likes Jones, Rafael, Wanayama and Janauzaj all in their early twenties.​

Summer Transfer Window - 2015

Season Expectations

View attachment 328363

Right well this was a lot less than i was expecting a lot of re-jigging of the budgets is going to be needed to even try and sort out the Falcao deal let alone buying anyone else. I need to sell a lot of players to get any money back to was we get less than half of any transfer money made.

Players In

Falcao - ST - £46.5 Million

View attachment 328362

So it had to be done and i even looked at alternatives to start with but in the end i thought we could afford to lose his goals. The likes of Benzema and Mario Gomez would have cost just as much and Destro had already moved on to Barcelona.

Ross Barkley - CM/AMRLC - £17.75Million

View attachment 328361

When i saw i could get Barkley for so cheap i knew he was the player for me, his contract was up next season so Everton had to cash in and he is perfect for a backup player right now as he can play several positions.

Gerard Deulofeu - AMRL - £29.5Million

View attachment 328360

I also activated this guys release clause to steal another future star from Barcelona, Im basing this outlay on how good he was for me on last years FM on my Barcelona save more than anything this year. Also the central midfield and defense is already full of players so i felt this was our only weak area if Di Maria or Januzaj pick up a knock.

Head Of Youth Bought This Guy

View attachment 328359

So as you can all guess i sold a fair few players to make these transfers possible, I also had a few players come back from loan deals who will be involved in the first team squad with Nani a good backup player and Javier Hernandez my backup striker to Falcao,

Players Out

Well i brought in £75Million in player sales and im sure some of you are going to disagree with the players i got rid of and the prices but it was more about getting rid of players that were complaining rather than cashing in on happy players.
First of Zaha joined Lyon for around £6Million as he was never going to get in my squad before Rooney then moved onto Chelsea for just over £23Million after scoring just 4 goals last season for us.
RVP joined Bayern for just over £10Million with his contract in its final year before Surprisingly Real Madrid came in for Herrera and got him with a £25Million deal.
Jonny Evans then joined Everton for £9Million whilst i couldnt get rid of Fellaini or Smalling but we did loan out a shed load of players including Henriquez and Munir.

Pre Season Results

View attachment 328316

We started off poorly as we were missing all our South American players due to Internationals and i rested a lot of key players and it showed with back to back losses.
But you can tell the moment i put a half decent team back in as we comfortably won our remaining 4 friendlies with the goals flowing and none conceded. Nani was the surprise star of Pre- Season.

Community Shield V Man City

View attachment 328068

Man City took an early lead in a game they absolutely dominated but Januzaj was on fire and grabbed the equalizer before half time. They had more chances and the better possession but we broke well on the counter attack and really should have won it in normal time.
But it went to penalties and we dominated scoring all 4 of our penalties whilst Man City missed 3 and i picked up my second trophy of my Man Utd reign.

August Results

View attachment 328064

Not a perfect start but im not disappointed, We started the Premier League with a draw to Liverpool with Falcao scoring an early goal before Liverpool got a late equalizer from Balotelli whos a lot better on my save than he is in real life!
We then ended the month with a win at Aston Villa, We raced into a 2 goal lead before they fought back after the break but it was the job of Super Sub and league debutant to come on a score a last gasp winner.

So we were involved in 4 of the top 5 transfers in the Premier League whether it being players coming in or leaving but a lot of the other big deals saw players leave the Premier League whilst Chelseas spent big in Iturbe and Arsenal bought Luis Gustavo for big money too.​
 
Well done on the title win last season! some interesting transfer dealings and good luck for the season!

Heres My Favoured Starting 11 and Tactic

View attachment 328040

I say that but Vertonghen would be in over Rojo every day of the week, That would be my best 11 but i doubt they will play that many games together as i will look to rotate the squad now were in Europe and i expect to have a better run in both cups this season.

September Results

View attachment 328039

So we started the month with another draw as Arsenal started well with Welbeck scoring another early goal against his former club before we had sub Januzaj to thank for the late equalizer in another draw.
We then destroyed Borussia Mochengladbach with a rotated squad with the likes of Deulofeu and Wanyama shining. We then surprisingly beat Chelsea 3-0 without Falcao with recently returned pair Nani and Hernandez grabbing the goals.
We then had our attacking trio hit West Brom on the counter 3 times early on in the Cup game to seal another victory before conceding a late goal to West Ham to draw yet another league game.

Not a brilliant start to the season with 3 draws but were still unbeaten and only 3 points off the top and we have had a very tough start to the season playing the likes of Arsenal,Liverpool and Chelsea so early on in October we have 4 very winnable games in the league which should really shake things up.​

Thanks mate, after the start to the league last season we had i never could have believed we would have won the league, just posted another update.
 
some ups and downs so far this season but im sure you can do well!
 
Well Done on winning the Prem. I've just finished my first season now. We came second. Chelsea won the league and won the Champions League. They only lost 2 games all season in the Prem. I'm having a bit of trouble at the moment now tho. The board think its funny by only giving me 20 percent of transfer revenue. They gave me 25 mil for next season a 3.2 mil wages. Even though the club has now hit jackpot with the adidas deal and other takings. The club is making 220 mil this season and they give me a poxy 25 mil for transfers. So I've bought Barkley but it looks like I'll have to leave Falcoa go... I AM NOT HAPPY!!

i know how you feel with the transfer revenue problem my has been going up and down since i started going down to getting just 10 percent or at the moment its as high as 40 percent but it is a ****** when you see them making money and you dont get any of it. I had to sell a lot of players to get Falcao but for me it was well worth it, Chelsea havent been that impressive on my save so far and Arsenal were the surprise winners of the Champions League

October Results

View attachment 327863

A much improved month as we win 5 matches on the bounce before losing to Swansea at the end of the month. We started the month with a 7-0 demolition of newly promoted Bournemouth with Falcao grabbing a hattrick and Nani in fine form.
We then went on to beat Norwich 2-0 with a much changed side before beating Napoli 3-0 with our main players well rested from the previous game. It was then a Deulofeu inspired win against Stoke which gained us a further 3 points with Vertonghen scoring from another set piece.
Hernandez scored a late hattrick against Wolves in the Cup to seal another impressive victory as i looked to give a number of young players their debuts in this tie before ending the month with a terrible match against Swansea.

Up to 3rd place now and currently 4 points off the top spot behind Tottenham and Chelsea.​
 
A good month there until the Swansea match but keep it up mate!!
 
Well done on winning the title, haven't been on much to follow or play my save. Good luck back in the CL, at least Falcao is doing better & staying fit than in real life. keep it up mate.

November Results

View attachment 327567

So we started the month with another east win over Napoli with a Falcao brace and a Hernandez goal which confirmed our place in the next round of the Champions League.
We also then beat fierce rivals Man City with Di Maria scoring an early goal before Hernandez came off the bench to seal the victory. We then had a bore draw with Falcao having a mare of a time against Everton with us having over 30 chances but unable to score.
I then let a load of the second string play against BMG and it showed as they resoundly beat us with Falcao having another poor game before Januzaj and Hernandez grabbed late consolation goals. We ended the month with a 4-1 demolition of West Brom with Hernandez grabbing a hattrick and really showing that he may get a starting berth ahead of Falcao next month or is it that he performs better as an impact sub?
12 goals from only 3 starts and 12 subs speaks for itself and hes had 2 hattricks in a month.

3rd place behind Chelsea and Totteham and still 4 points behind, too many draws is holding us back at the moment though but Hernandez is 3rd in the race for the Golden Boot.​
