I only made 1 signing in Jan who came in straight away, and Sule is the only Summer signing who is a 'wonderkid' as such who is starting. Juve are the ones who went crazy on that. :P

Fair play to them, they are the ones doing it right!! I'm not saying anything against that, more that I'm the fool not to bring in more faces.

March/April/May Round up

The Platinum League​

As its the end of the season, I will keep you in suspense just a little longer and put the table last.

Gameweek 25​

A truly massive win for Juventus as they defeat PSG to take back their place at the top of the table in a thrilling match. Inter pull off a wonderful win over Liverpool but will it be enough to try and escape relegation? Leverkusen stun Chelsea and Valencia also do well to pick up a win over Dortmund.

And once again the lead of the table changes hands, this time its Atletico that storm into first place after sneaking a win over Inter! Juventus toil with a loss to Arsenal after an Alexis Sanchez masterclass, and PSG can only draw away to Man United. Yet another Leverkusen win and another goal for Christian Eriksen see the German minnows surge into the title fight with Chelsea also going strong.

Juventus reclaim their lead in the table with a tough win against Liverpool while Atletico can only draw against PSG. Barcelona pick up some massive points with a tight win against Leverkusen and Inter win the Milan derby as they scrabble towards safety.

Juventus are looking really good out in the lead now as they pick up another point against United, while Atletico keep up the pressure by beating Bayern and PSG are held to a draw. Inter look all but relegated as they lose to Valencia, Man City are now safe after beating Leverkusen, as are Barcelona as they see off Dortmund who surely cannot save themselves now.

Atletico are so close now they can almost touch it! They defeat Liverpool to enter the final gameweek just two points behind leaders Juventus, with PSG snapping at their heels. Leverkusen thrash Inter meaning the Italian club are relegated, as are Dortmund who lose out to Real Madrid.

As we enter the final week, Juventus lead the table by two points from Atletico, and the final fixture of the year? Juventus Vs Atletico. A two way way fight for the title! but which way is it going to go?


Gameweek 30​

THEY DID IT! Atletico ****** a win away to Juventus to take the Platinum League crown! What an effort! PSG play a dull draw with Valencia to finish third and Chelsea show up Inter to take 4th place. A disappointing end ot the season for Leverkusen as they get thumped by Real Madrid, but some promise for Bayern as they beat Milan. Defeat for Liverpool see the club relegated and a point for Valencia isnt enough to retain their Platinum status.

So there we have it, who really would have predicted that Atletico would win the league? What a season it has been. Unpredictable til the last. A massive congratulations to Atletico Madrid and commiserations to Valencia, Liverpool, Dortmund and Inter who find themselves relegated. Joining the league next season will be Roma, Sporting, Benfica and Tottenham who won promotion from the Gold League.

Wow, India winning against Pakistan and the end of season update! Although it is useless to do...I can't help but wonder about our position if we didn't draw 3 consecutive draw, wins in them and we could have been top with Atletico! Anyways congratulations to Atletico as well as Leverkusen who stunned everyone.

Happy with a 5th placed position in the end , 3 above what we were supposed to be. A detailed update soon!

Sorry man, been so wrapped up in the fights at the top and bottom of the table :P he did really save Bayerns season, but then again Pep hugely improved City's position. A good swap deal it looks like.

And Ancelotti did a lot for Barca :D
 
Amazing! Just about managed to survive relegation!

Ibrahimovic top scorer! Pirlo 3rd in assists chart at 36yrs old and only cost me a few 100K! :D

Also Oblak tops clean sheets for Atletico, awesome!
 
Lol well selling my star striker didn't work out too well for me did it!

End of season update

Atletico approached the final 6 games full of confidence and hoping to win the inaugural Platinum League title. Juventus, PSG and Chelsea would have a lot to say in the run in however as the title was a 4 way shootout.

Atletico 1-1 Man City
In the scheme of things this was a good point, City had the better of it and deservedly took the lead through Girogio Chiellini. Arkadiusz Milik was brought on for the second half and it was him who smashed home the equaliser in the 82nd minute.

Atletico 1-0 Inter
Atleti stormed to the top of the Platinum League with a 1-0 win over Inter. Things were made much easier when the struggling Inter had Imbula sent off after 14 minutes. Luciano Vietto kept up his remarkable season when he scored early in the second half. The red half of Madrid were dreaming of title glory.

PSG 2-2 Atletico
Juventus returned to the summit as the main challengers PSG and Atletico played out an entertaining draw. Gabriel Barbosa opened the scoring but PSG soon equalised through Cavani. Marco Veratti scored late in the first half giving PSG the advantage but Vietto scored 5 minutes into the second period and that's the way it stayed

Atletico 2-0 Bayern
Juventus remained top despite only drawing against Man Utd and Atletico winning impressively against Bayern. Goals in this one came from Barbosa and Angel Correa. Next weeks game against Liverpool was probably the most important of the season, win and then it came down to the final game of the season against Juventus, lose and it was 2nd at best.

Atletico 2-1 Liverpool
Nerves were obvious as Atletico started very slowly. Firmino gave Liverpool the lead and it could have been more. Diego Simeone was blowing a gasket on the sideline and his presence seemed to have an affect, Vietto euqalised 6 minutes later. Henrikh Mkhitaryan was the match winner in this one as he scored just before the hour mark. Juventus won their game and were seen as favourites going into the final game at Juventus Stadium

Juventus 1-2 Atletico

The game started frantically with both teams giving away lots of possession. Juventus seemed to settle slightly quicker and Carlos Tevez opened the scoring. This seemed to galvanise Atletico and Barbosa euqlised on 25 minutes. Juventus seemed top be trying to kick Atletico off the park and had committed almost 15 fouls by half time. The second half began at a much quicker pace and Atletico had several chances to score. Barbosa did just that in the 66th minute with his 14th league goal. Juventus' chances were reduced with 15 minutes left when Camacho was dismissed for a second yellow card. The referee finally blew his whistle after what seemed an eternity of stoppage time and it cued wild celebrations on the pitch and in the away support. Diego Simeone and his squad had achieved something incredible, predicted by the media to finish 10th they defied all the odds to win the title.

Luciano Vietto - 17

Season Review

A reasonably good year for the Gunners in this very first year of the Platinum League. We were forecast to finish in 9th place but we bettered that by 2 places to end in 7th. Our draft picks had a mixed year to be honest, Gerard Piqué picked up an award at the end of season club bash but David Luiz had a stop-start season only getting to make 7 starts and 13 substitute appearances. Mario Mandzukic had a very difficult year with us after Arsene looked to have dismiised his chances of playing for us although 4 goals in only 6 games makes us scratch our heads and wonder what he did to end up in Arsene's bad book.

Player of the Year
Mesut Ózil

Quite simply a fantastic year round performance from the talented German. 9 goals, 8 assists and an average match rating of 7.76 he was simply immense for the Gunners this year.

Top Goalscorer
Alexis Sánchez

He was simply on fire for us this year. 18 goals in 38 games means that he was very nearly on a goal every two games strike rate. Add that to the 6 assists that he had throughout the year and it shows how important a player he is to us.

Top Signing
Gerard Piqué & Nicolás Gaitán

Couldn't separate them, Gerard only made 20 appearances but picked up 4 referee's man of the match awards and ended up with an average match rating of 7.51 but Nicolás also played very well for us this year with 4 goals, 4 assists and 2 referee's man of the match awards and an average match rating of 7.32 in his 25 appearances for the Gunners.

Top Youth
John Stones

A big money signing at the start of the season but after 32 appearances and an average match rating of 7.13, big things are expected for this talented 21 year old.


=============================================================

Now its time to start panicking, trying to work out our 5 players that are excempt from next seasons Draft!!!
