Nice one Mirrorboy
Thought I'd post an update on my Hercules team. Got them promoted last season to Liga BBVA. So far I've lost 2 games, which is less than everyone apart from Valencia, Real Madrid and Barca (the top 3), but I've drawn nine out of 13 games with 2 wins, so I'm down in 14th. I'm pretty pleased at the moment, but obviously would rather those draws turned into wins.
Defence needs work. My usual back four is comprised of:
RB. Juanra/Nikola Aksentijevic
CB. Rafael Marquez/Samuel/Diego Colotto
CB. Sergio Alejandro
LB. Paco Pena/Joakim Vage Nilsson
It's a good backline, but we just don't seem to be able to keep the opposition out (just one clean sheet this season). My midfield is where I am most content:
CM. Thomas Ayasse/Abel Aguilar/Albino Mosca
CM. Juan Angel Roman/Tiago Gomes
AMR. Gabrial Obertan/Yohann Lasimant
AML. Geoffrey Tulasne/Juanmi Callejon
AMC. Eldin Hadzic/Tote
Gomes is a quality player. Surprised I haven't had any offers for him as he bosses the midfield in every game. Roman is 19, signed from Man City and has been outstanding so far this season.
Upfront, I've got 3 options for my solo striker position. Moussa Coulibaly is on loan from Stade de Malien from Mali and is 19. He effectively got us promoted last season with 5 goals in the promotion play-offs. Danijel Aleksic is on loan from Genoa and has been my main man this season with 7 goals in 13 games. My only striker contracted to the club is Soares who I signed last season on a free. He scored 15 in 24 games, but this season has found the net twice in 7. I also have alot of quality youngsters who I signed on frees, such as Gerben Van Es, Daan Doorn and Patrick Van Vliet, so at the moment, life is pretty good at Hercules. Hopefully I can finish around mid-table this season, but the main aim is to avoid relegation.
