Milan September and October Update!

"Unfortunately things haven't been going as well I had hoped the past 2 months, especially after such a promising August. Our manager continues to play Kompany in midfield which is one of the most ridiculous decisions I've ever come across.

I may have to consider his position if things don't change soon...I am not a man to make rash decisions but playing one of the best defenders in the world out of position can not be ignored!"



I will give a more detailed report when I have access to the FM game save tomorrow :)

October Update

October was a perfect month for Atletico with 6 points, 4 goals scored and 0 conceded.

To start possibly one of the shortest months, game wise, that league football has ever witnessed, Atletico travelled to Germany to face Borussia Dortmund. Antoine Griezmann has started the season well without really showing what he's fully capable of. All that changed in the Westfalenstadion as he scored one in each half to help Atletico secure a comfortable 2-0 win.

October was completed with the visit of the struggling Barcelona - for all their attacking riches it seems to be the defence which is currently letting the Catalan giants down. The Vicente Calderon was rocking before the game and even more so on 25 minutes as Griezmann finished well. Luciano Vietto is proving his worth this season and he got his 4th league goal on the hour. Barcelona rarely threatened in this one and Atletico could have had a few more. Only the scintillating form of Juventus is keeping Atletico off top spot currently and Iglesias will hope manager Diego Simeone can keep the run going into November.


Player of the Month - October
Antoine Griezmann

Top Scorer - October
Antoine Griezmann (3)

First up in November is the Madrid derby, a game in which Atletico will be looking to stretch their unbeaten run to 8 games.


As a side note, owner Enrique Iglesias has been eating big slices of humble pie as a player he touted around the fellow chairmen for free, Juanfran, is currently on course to win Player of the Year with a string of outstanding performances.
 
Disappointing start to the Platinum League

After 6 games we sit in 10th place with 8 points joint with FC Bayern & Arsenal but only 2 points away from the relegation zone! But saying that only 4 points off the top spot so looks like everyone is beating everyone after the first few months of this new league.

Marco Reus does what he normally does and stepped up with 3 goals to add to his tally and also with the 2nd best mins/goal ratio at 88.00. But unlucky for us he has picked up a major injury which has ruled him out for 6-7 weeks!

Vidal has got his running shoes on covering the most in the league per/90 mins proving how much of a work horse he really is.


But the star player for the last 6 games was the big man himself Mats Hummels! The German has played 10 solid games for us so far this season with an average rating of 7.54 putting in 47 tackles 2 PoM awards and with 91% average passing.

After Hummels performances, everyone needs to step up to make this season one to remember but there are early signs of this from a few players such as new signing and U23 player Davy Klaassen. The Dutch superstar as notched up 3 goals in 9 games(2 subs) with a cheeky 82% pass rate and 7.09 rating, it is starting to look like a pretty good buy.
 
Next update is on the way! I am aiming to try and sim through this first season fairly quickly so dont feel you have to do a full update for every month! :)
 
My next proper update won't be until Wednesday be I've had a bugs couple of days and will be busy tomorrow, but the update on Wednesday will cover the season so far and (hopefully :D) and improvement from Barca!

Juventus still lead the way with Chelsea and PSG just the one win behind. The Milans look to be in trouble at the bottom while Dortmund are starting to falter. Barcelona and United are beginning to work their way through the table and Leverkusen see a surge up the table as well. Valencia and Arsenal safely tucked in mid-table.

Gameweek 9 ​

View attachment 168748
Juventus continue their stranglehold on the lead of the league with a fantastic win against struggling Bayern. Leverkusen pick up a massive win over arsenal and in a massive shock, both Barcelona and Man United both win! Leonid Slutskiy's Valencia reign is off to a poor start but huge celebrations in Liverpool as Fernando Torres returns to score his third of the season, against his former club.

Gameweek 10 ​

View attachment 168747
A huge upset as PSG pinch a win against the leader Juventus! Manchester United and Barcelona both continue their improving form by winning their matches and Man City pick up an important win against Atletico to keep it close at the top. Arsenal manage to see a poor again Bayern side and Valencia pick up a big win over Dortmund! has the managerial change worked?

Gameweek 11​

View attachment 168746
Dortmunds season is starting to become catastrophic with defeat to 10 man Leverkusen, while Juventus re-establish their gap at the top of the table. PSG are edged out by two late goals from Man Utd as they continue their hot streak, but Barcelona are back to losing ways and cannot escape the drop zone as they are seen off by a very good Chelsea side! Also worth noting is a second consecutive win for Valencia!

The Cup

Third Round​

Only one real shock in the cup and that is Inter being dumped out by Schalke. Leverkusen lose out to PSG, Dortmund go out to Bayern and Man City are still to play their 2nd leg but are behind to Sociedad!

NOTICE - Could Barcelona and Milan get in touch ASAP, both of you have had your managers sacked and will need to either pick your new man or let the board on the game do it for you!

Soon to be looking for a new manager if things don't improve!

IMPORTANT GAME NOTICE​

Hi everybody, it is really important that you all read this because the future of the game is in doubt!!

It has been pointed out to me by several people that the finances on this game are strange and they really are! I have been wracking my brains for several nights trying to work out a fair fix but have been struggling. The problem comes with teams having different amounts of debt/ income changes by change of league. Teams like Man United and Barcelona are losing almost 20 million a month, while Real Madrid and PSG are making profit and teams like Leverkusen and Dortmund are losing 7-10 mil a month.

My first thought was to just cancel out everybodys losses every month but then I realised this was not fair on the small clubs, as the big clubs could spend whatever they want on wages and it wouldnt matter because they wouldnt be making a loss.

Another problem is that the profits/losses appear to be quite random and have nothing to do with the amounts of wages being spent by clubs. Real Madrid spending 2.5 mil a week are making profit, United spending 2.25 mil a week are making a huge loss.

Does anybody have any ideas as to how to even up the finances a bit? If I gave everybody an extra 20 mil a month then teams like PSG, Real Madrid and Leverkusen will be up by £100 mil + on profit (before tv money) where as barca would be just breaking even, which isnt fair as teams like Barca and Bayern SHOULD be able to spend more a month on wages.

If a solution cannot be found then i fear this game is going to have to finish as it is not fair on a lot of teams and cant be controlled.
 
Would wiping out club debts work or not?!

E.g. - if Milan had a £300m loan, would wiping that off change anything.

If so, you could do that for all clubs
 
Would really hate to see this stop, as I enjoy the format a lot. What options are there in the real-time editor to make financial adjustments to the teams? If someone has it, maybe it is possible to adjust debts and income from sponsors in it?

Don't really know any fair way to adjust for this if it isn't possible to calculate what extra expenses there are beyond wages and transfer fees.

It would make minimal difference, United are paying back 3.7 mil a month on loans and interest, meaning they are still losing 18 mil a month.

The problem seems to come from income.

Just paid for FMRTE and am downloading it now to have a look. I would also hate for it to end, but I am really stuck with this one! been sat doing maths all evening (very painful)

I had the idea of giving teams a certain amount a month, minus whatever they are spenidng on wages, but the wage gap in the league is so huge!
 
So on FMRTE I can edit everything from ticket pricing to loans to sponsorship, its all there. Its just a question of what to do.
