Thanks very much mate, glad you're enjoying following my story :) haha i knew someone would comment on the prices i payed for certain players, surely worth it if it gets the desired reward though aye mate? Who do you think i payed over the odds for? Glad to know my work is appreciated :D will have another installment of this chapter for you to read very soon
 
Whooops got a bit too engrossed and played a few more matches than i intended to before this update so it might be a bit of a lengthy but anyway here goes...

Since my last update i have played 14 games, won 12 and drawn just 2 of them scoring 33 goals and conceding just 11, all fixtures and results are shown below:

Below are the 3 best results of the last bunch of 14 i've played, starting with this 3-1 home win against Villarreal, goals from both of my strikers Soldado getting 1 and Munian bagging a brace, Munian has been a revelation i'd recommend him to everyone!

Another big result winning 2-1 away at Valencia which isn't an easy place to go! a goal in the first half followed by another in the second which was once again bagged my Munian helped seal the victory which was however soured by the sending off of Martinez on 79 which lead to a nervy ending when Zigic gave Valencia hope on 89 but we managed to see out the victory :D

Another 2-1 victory back-to-back with the Valencia game, this time away at Liverpool on a European night at Anfield which is something to be very proud of, theres a patern forming here, we win 2-1 and Muniain scores once again! Oh and also once again you'll see we concede a late goal just to make the last few minutes interesting so i don't get bored, oh Espanyol you're such a tease XD

As you can see below i'm top of the overall form chart (WWWWW) and joint top in the home and away form charts. I have also conceded the 2nd fewest and scored the 4th most and have won 3 in a row in the league :)

View attachment 23264

So i currently sit 4th in the league with 2 games in hand on Madrid at the top and can go level on points with them if i win those 2 games but would probably be second on goal difference, which isn't a bad place to be at all!

My next 4 games are:
  • Athletic Club Bilbao (h)
  • Tenerife (a)
  • Real Madrid (a) - this could be key in the title race 1pt needed minimum
  • FC Timisoara (h) (Europa League)
So the dream is very much alive, players seem to be beginning to gel and gain an understanding, undefeated as of yet and with Muniain on fire at the moment its ours to lose! (H)

(Thanks for reading, next update after the next 5/6 games with emphasis on the Madrid game! Any questions or SS requests just ask :))
 
Good to see you got the season back on track :)
and i feel that yu could have got the Brazilian midfielders for a bit less, and akinfeev for less as well ! :)
munian looks absolutely amazing ! ill keep my eyes on him for sure.If i wasnt nottingham forest then i would defos stick a bid in. However finances arent on my side atm. look forward to the next post for sure
 
Cheers mate, hmm i guess i could have but there clubs werent budging on valuations, and CSKA dont want to lose there prize asset thats why i had to pay over the odds for him :S ! He is amazing mate honestly, how far into your forest game are you? because my mate has a game with Aston Villa and he picked him up for 700k in the first season
 
Finished first season and half way thro second :)
tbh im not the best fm'r :) but this is my best atempt so far :) 5th in Champ so far :)
He is already worth £7 million in my save ... so is far far far out of my price range , harewood and n'gog are doing the business for me up front :)
any update soon ?
 
Cool, how did you do in the first season? N'gog on loan or signed? Aaah gutted thought his value would rocket after the first season to be honest :/ yeahh update will be coming soon, don't wanna give constant updates otherwise people may lose interest :)
 
smart thinking haha :)
10th first season, i found it difficult to be consistent, middle of season was good :) but start and end let me down :(
looks like i have found a good tactic :) and doing well :)
n'gog is on loan :) heavily relying on loanee's due to lack of finances :)
 
not too bad mate :) sis you manage to make nicky shoreys loan permanent? what tactic do you use? i use the complete dominance tactic from this site. Can't beat a cheeky loan signing now can you!
 
might try tht tactic :) dnt want to change just now though :) i use a 4-4-2 with adv.wingers :) good supply to harewood, and now tht n'gog got injured di sant has been playing (another loan) and score 3 in 2 :) tis looking like a good season for me :)
 
try it mate its a good'un the key to my success honestly! franco di santo? probably the worst striker in the world haha!
 
Your doing really well. Have you got a Screenshot of Iker Munian In your current game because I want to see how good he is getting. Great story so far !
 
So in my past 12 games ive won 10, and drawn just 2 :) scoring 32 goals and conceding just 9 along the way :D

Yes! I beat Real Madrid at the the Bernabeu!
An absolutely amazing result and performance, 1-0 up, 1-1 and then a screamer in the second half from Hernanes sealed a much deserved victory, we matched Madrid on possession, had less chances but were more clinical than them infront of goal and managed to see out the victory, i think the title race just got interesting ;)

An emphatic 4-1 home win against Sevilla, completely dominated the game and scored some great goals, especially Sergio Canales goal. Picked him up for a measly £2million and he has proven to be a great little piece of business his performaces have been world class! The only minor disappointment was conceding a goal which took a little bit of the shine off an otherwise polished performance :)

View attachment 23412

Not only did i manage to beat Real at the Bernabeu, i managed to beat Barca at the Nou Camp! I not only beat them, i dominated the game with 54% of the possession and had more attempts on goal than them as well :D this has to make me favourite for the title now!

View attachment 23413

As you can see i am top of the form chart, have scored the most goals in the league and conceded the 4th fewest, i am also on a 6 game winning streak in the league

TOP OF THE LEAGUE! 19 games played, level on points with Real Madrid with a game in hand on them which is against bottom of the League Xerez so i SHOULD go 3pts clear!

I'm half way through January now, but i feel ive completed all my activity with player ins and outs so i tell you whats gone down:


Players in
- Paolo Ferreira £2.5million


Players out
- Pablo £2.5million to Villarreal
- Freddy Adu on loan to Auxerre to give him games and view to a permanent deal
- Jamel Art Ben Idir loan to some Turkish side i can't spell with view to a permanent deal
- Richard Smallwood £3million to CSKA Moscow


Here are my next 5 fixtures:


Xerez (h) (League)
Zaragoza (h) (Spanish Cup Qtr Final 1st Leg)
Zaragoza (a) (League)
Zaragoza (a) (Spanish Cup Qtr Final 2nd Leg)
Hercules (h) (League)


So, the dream is very very much alive, top of the league in January, currently unbeaten in 30 games! Not a bad set of fixtures coming up either, playing Zaragoza 3 times on the bounce will be interesting but i know we should win all 3 of them if we play to our potential. Keep following to see if I can see the dream through and crown Espanyol the Champions of Spain :P!

Ohh one more thing, heres Iker Muniain for whoever wanted to see his stats:

great story so far mate, hoping you win this season. kudos on iker muniain as well, he is ace, bought him for newcastle after a board takeover and he works wonders - glad someone else on here is making good use of him.
