Oh When The Saints Go Marching In - A Southampton Story

[Sam91]

Ramirez was shocking in my Southampton save too!

Yeah Wellington Nem and Lamela are much better so is Adryan. He's done okay but not enough to warrent a £12m fee

 

[flez85]

Great start! Awesome signing Destro, he's tearing up Serie A with Napoli for 2014/15 in my San Marino save. Funny because I was reading this then flipped over to FM and found in my inbox that he's been named to the Italy squad and might win his first cap. I compared your screen to how he is in my game and looks like he can really develop.

Andy Savage looks pretty decent and Rodney Nelson looks okay. No-one to get mega excited about, maybe Savage could break into the first team.

Monthly Review


WOW!!! Some insane results there, obviously the United game really stands out. Firstly the Liverpool game, just wow really Ademilson showing some real classiness and would have had a hat trick but Agger slid in on him and the ball went into his own net. Next up the Fulham match in which we were actually 3-0 up and nearly threw it away but managed to hold on, Lallana scoring 2 identical goals with Sterling bombing down the right crossing deep to Lallana who smashed it home.

Then the United game, just WOW went 3-0 up and Lamela's goal was just amazing running from the halfway line then crashing home into the top corner from just outside the box. Then Ademilson scored a trademark goal being played in by Lamela and slotting home easily. Sterling then scored a tap in, but Rooney scored twice quickly and even got a third but was a mile offside .


Player of the Month

Goals, goals, goals!!! 5 in 4 games!!

Ademilson is an amazing player. On my Arsenal game Giroud was injured so he missed one game so I gave a start to Ademilson and he's been my main striker since. 3 goals in 3 games.

Ademilson is amazing, forcing Lambert and Jay Rod out and with Destro coming in the summer I don't see a future for either of them to be honest!! Maybe Jay Rod but not Lambert

opo to ki??

 

[Greggylad]

you got destro coming on a free ?? If so awsome. Second season i sold Lambert for £5mil and JayRod for £12.5

Monthly Review


WOW, what a run of games. Okay we lost to Spurs but they're really good this year and it was only by one and we were pretty bad there. But all the others just wow, what a result against Arsenal that pushed us up to 4th. Our wins over Swansea and Wigan relegated both sides and I'm pretty shocked to see them down there!! A stunning game against West Ham was won thanks to Lamela's late goal and when you see the table your'll see how important a goal that was. Sidney Sam's two goals were almost identical with Raheem Sterling bombing down the right and crossing in for Sam to tap home.


Player of the Month

Raheem Sterling

4 assists and a goal this month and his performances were so important. He's been fantastic and a master-stroke of a deadline day deal. Will certainly look into getting him again next season either on loan or permenant.

Holy shitballs, 3rd... I never in a million years thought we'd be this high first season but whilst we've been plugging away winning teams around us just seem to falter and lose to silly teams!!


Our last 2 games are against Reading and Sunderland both at home... surely 3rd is ours??​

 

[CantGetEnoughOfJelavic]

3rd?!!?! Incredible! Keep it up.

 

[meguel]

Post your first team in the end of season report? And if you get 3rd (which I'm sure you will) I'm looking forward to next years budget.

YES!!!!! Third was ours, what a ****** season. Honestly think my January transfers done it, Lamela was amazing and Sterling was a game changer at times. Berba went goal mad for Fulham. Jose Fonte was a boss at the back for us too.



Southampton Squad

Our two centre backs were amazing, but I think as we're going to be in the Champions League next year its an area that needs strengthening. Jay Rod was immense with 21 goals and will stay for another year as the fans love him apparently. Lamela was awesome and looks like a real talent, same goes for Ademilson. As you can also see I heavily favoured Luke Shaw at Left Back and he was really really impressive considering his age, JWP didn't get as much game time as I would have hoped.


At the other end Kameni has been **** and cost us some points in certain games with some weird keeping and I will certainly replace him in the window. Adryan didn't get enough game time but was injured for around 3 months in total this year and with Wellington Nem, Ramirez and Lamela all in his position I will look to play him some more in a Centre Mid role rotating with Jack Cork who did okay I suppose.

Cheers man but we got very lucky last year, yes we had some superb results like the one over United but the teams around us flopped hugely in the last 2 months which was the only reason we managed 3rd
