Now then hints and tips, how did you manage to find the wonderkid? .. I never seem to come across anyone at such a young age with 20 in any of his starting stats!?

Sort clubs players by value, and have a look at the most expensive 2-3 regens in that team. They're usually the best regens that club has got.
I usually suplement this with having my scout (who has complete knowledge of the country in question, and really good Judging Potential) to scout that country with the following requirements: No older than 19, Potential at least 3 stars. They usually will generate a report within a day, and will give you a overview of all the top regens at the top clubs.
Well A Good Regen isn’t hard to spot, But sometimes the stats don’t reflect the players ability, sometimes you need to check for Mental Attributes like Determination ( If you’re having doubts about a regen you could simply Get a scout report on him)


Usually I want natural fitness of 15 pace of 15 and workrate of 15. most players who have those areas covered seem to cover everything else all on there own. Of course this isn't a hard and fast rule allowances need to be made for youth. 16-17 year olds usually need to add 7-10 points onto there attributes if developed properly



2014 tip, not sure if its in 2015 tho
Final tip is a good player may be a repetition of the name (that's how regen naming works). However, in the first season, all the SI employees get a regen generated with their name and several of their details and a given position and if you search in the search bar 'faceinthgame' no spaces, remove quotations, you find those regens.

Premiership
View attachment 278456
3 way fight for the title and strangely its 3 different citys represented. Improvements again for Plymouth as we move 4 points clear in 5th place Man Utd looking over there shoulders. No idea what is going on at Arsenal & Chelsea



​
 

March


Chelsea finally sack Frank De Boer and bring in Galatasaray coach Hamza Hamzaoglu
One win from 4 and our 1st month of regression since the start of the year.




Fixtures


Tottenham 5-1 Plymouth

Ozil


Plymouth 1-4 Man City
Kurt
Went attacking and got slaughtered/


West Ham 3-2 Plymouth

Huge defeat here. Played a full strength team to try force the 3 points out of the hammers




Premiership

Looks liks City Vs Liverpool for the League. 3 Defeats 2 being top sides Spurs & Man City then to our closest rivals West Ham who throw open the battle from 3rd to 10th. At the bottom Stoke are 10 points from safety and Watfords reliance on Ciro Immobile is dragging them down too.



​
 

April


Some very positive performances along with a disaster against Stoke which began our injury crisis. 6 Starters and 2 of there replacements are out till the end of the season and will miss the tough home game to Everton then the final day trip to Fulham.




Fixtures


Aston Villa 0-2 Plymouth
Ozil
Zaza


Plymouth 1-2 Stoke
Zaza
Disaster against the bottom team!


Plymouth 3-2 Watford
Zaza 3
Bottom team again but this time we sneaked a win thanks to Zaza who got injured and will miss the rest of the season.


Plymouth 3-0 Derby
Arregi 2
Ozil
Injurys everywhere but still have too much for Derby




Premiership
View attachment 276588
Man City have the league in there hands but Liverpool are on there heels ready to pounce on any mistake Spurs & Man Utd are all but in the Champions League spots. We should be fighting West Ham & Arsenal for 5th place. Arsenal and West Ham play at the Emirates on the final day!!



​
 

End of season


Plymouth 1-0 Everton
Arregi


West Ham drew 0-0 while ourselves & Arsenal both win making week 38 a winner take all. If West Ham wins they take 5th, If they dont and we win we'll get 5th but if neither of us win and Arsenal beat the hammers they sneak into the most undeserved 5th place finish your likely to see. Man City thrash southampton 7-0 take note Liverpool. Stoke were relegated leaving Derby needing to win and Aston villa to loose on the final day with a 5 goal swing to survive.


Fulham 3-0 Plymouth


View attachment 276581


Wow! Even with our injury problems i never saw a thrashing like this coming! Even more amazing was the finish to the Arsenal West Ham 5th place decider with West Ham taking it with a 92nd minute winner. Man City made hard work of it but won again to secure the title while Villa got a draw to stay up despite Derby victory,

Season Review


We recover from a really dodgy start to the season to return to the Europa League once again with our 6th place finish
Mesut Ozil wins footballer of the year, Tough call to make now as i can buy him for £4m but he's almost 32 while we'll have a harder time keeping Sinan Kurt who won the young Player award
They may have finished bottom but Watford at least got to lift the FA Cup beating Everton on pens. Sepaking of last years winners Everton sack Glenn Hoddle and replaced him with Frank De Boer
Champions League Final - Real Madrid 3-1 Atletico All Spanish final again as Real become the first modern side to go back to back in a repeat of the 2014 final.

Sinan Kurt fulfils his potential while Zaza looks like the signing of the season. our teenage wing backs offer lots of hope for the future as other youngster stake a claim for the 1st team.




Awards
Player of the year - Mesut Ozil
Young Player of the year - Sinan Kurt




Premier League

Man City win the title thanks to a huge flop from the London teams Arsenal & Chelsea finishing 7th & 8th. Suprised Watford went down with Immobile but he was all they had really.

Season 7 Preview

2020/21




Pre Season
Championship side Watford beat Champions Man City to win the Community shield
Plymouth feature heavily on the Premiership transfer page with clubs nabbing our top talents
Nottm Forest, Burnley & Swansea return to the Premiership






Targets
Premiership - Top Half Finish
FA, League Cup - Win a Cup
Europa League - Quarter Finals


I think our team is now good enough to stay in the top 10 so im putting full focus on the cup competitions to bring some silverware to our long suffering fans.




Transfers
View attachment 276283
Chelsea make the biggest move to buy one of Brazil's top talents. Man City sign 3 squad players for almost £60m, Man Utd have a strange summer buying 38 year old Xabi Alonso, Back up wing back Janmaat while selling a few good back up players. Reading Sign the team of 2012 with Ramires, Falcao and Beahino. Hold on i've spent about £90m




Finally i give in and spend big to improve our team after we get raided by the bigger teams.

Ayoze Perez - AT
View attachment 276280
The Spanish forward flopped at Arsenal after double digit scoring seasons at Newcastle he didnt make 1 league appearance last year. Still paying £12m for a player that can play all over the front line and will be a great back up player at worst.


Rodrigo De Paul - AM
View attachment 276277
Showed plenty of potential at Atletico but i think he'll be good enough to replace Ozil


Dion Berends - ML
View attachment 276276
Scored more goal in pre season than in his 7 years at Ajax. Had a small buy out fee considering his talent as a 21 year old who will start from day 1.


Raul - MR
View attachment 276275
Loved this guy from the moment i set sights on him. Not sure how he's not been picked up by a bigger team but Brazilians do seem to be staying home more often. Like Berends i have immesurable hopes for him.


Mohamed Salah - MR
View attachment 276274
He was my original choice for the right wing but will have to fight it out as a back up.



4 new Youth players mostly midfielders. Could not find a worthwhile youth defender
View attachment 276269View attachment 276268View attachment 276267View attachment 276266




Out
The bigger teams once again flexed there muscles to pick from my team. First Ozil signed a huge new contract at Arsenal after we agreed on our £4m pre contract agreement, Early on we had Spurs handing us a blank cheque for Sinan Kurt who wanted the move, and £27m was very worthwhile, Marko Rog who came on strong in the 2nd half of the season leading our charge to European football led to us falling out over wages and off to Burnley he went. Verza would not have played a single game this season with my youth players coming through so getting him off the wage bill was enough for me. Next up was Marcelinho who was easily convinced by a huge new wage deal. Final player leaving us was our former back up captain and star defensive signings of our first premiership season Dejan Lovern went to Porto for over £13m

Arsenal are almost 20 points clear at the top while the next 5 will probably fight for the 4 champions league spot. Were still 7th but were now 10 points away from a Champions League spot and are are the back of the bunch in the race for a Europa League spot. Bottom 3 of Cardiff, Norwich & Swansea are cast adrift.
