Monthly Review


Wow, easily my best month in charge and exactly what we needed. A perfect month in the league with Carlos Fierro finally smashing the goals in again. The second leg against United was incredible, I literally couldn't believe how well we played it honestly could have been so much worse for United too. The Barca game was devestating, it felt like a lose. They went down to 10 men and I pushed the lads forward looking to make it 2-1 so we could take a lead to the Camp Nou we got it but Villa scored in the 93rd minute :(. We now have to go there and win which lets face it isn't going to happen :/


Player of the Month

This left us 3 points ahead of Man City and well clear of United, all we needed was a draw at Anfield and the title was ours...


Liverpool 0 - 0 Southampton

CHAMPIONS!!! It was crazy they were all over us, I switched our formation to a 5-1-1-2-1 after 10 minutes taking off Fierro for Maclennan as they were swamping us. I don't care that I played negative for 1 game this season its what was needed for us to win the league and it worked.

Yeah no fairytale here I'm afraid. They completely outclassed us, they went 2-0 up in the first half and I decided to go for it, we had nothing to lose and they ended us smashing us. They beat Lyon in the final to become Champions.

All very good young regens, happy to snap them all up nice and early :). I'm in two minds about selling Cavani or not to make room for some of my young strikers who could become quality players..

The Saints legend was once again incredible this season 34 assists, 9 goals and 11 MoM's. Incredible stuff now a regular England international on the left wing too.



Young Player of the Season

Kurt Zouma

View attachment 272056


A few patchy performances but other than that a solid debut year and hopefully can be our rock at the back for many years to come.



That's it lads, an incredible season for us. Expect some big names to leave maybe so I can develop some of the young regens ;), thanks everyone for reading :)​
 
Great update again mate, loving this story it excellent. Would you possibly be able to PM the pictures of Hazard, Cabaye, Anderson and Beckham, which you have on your game. In mine they're really outdated and look ****. I have the massive facepack and all the updates but they havent changed. I just have the massive pack and the updates in the same folder in graphics I think that should be right though. Kind regards and back on topic, my favourite story on here.

Download Football Manager Player Faces that's the facepack I'm using.

If your thinking of starting a story then maybe be your favourite club, or someone you could enjoy playing with. There's also a thread on here in the Discussions section I think that can help.

I'll PM you the pics now

Ins

So the first 3 on that list you know as I got them before the end of last season. Edgar Cardona is the big signing, he's a young RB I've had my eye on for some time and I had no problem meeting his release clause. Dennis Walter is a young CM from Germany who looks like he could be a quality player for the future. Silas will be a back-up CM for Oscar who may be in his last year if he doesn't improve this year. Messias was a deal arranged long ago but his PA has dropped so will farmed out on loan till I can sell him next year.

Outs

So Cavani left :/ basically he was immense, I wouldn't have won it last year if I didn't have him. But Bertoli looks so immense and has been patient I wanted to give him a first team role and Cavani can't rot on the bench. Ibra left too after a disappointing year here. Cahill was sold for a profit, Frimpong left also. Butland, Ward-Prowse and Chambers all left as they were surplus to requirments and I have better players in coming through. Clyne left after some injuries last year and Cardona is immense so I didn't need Clyne.

Khedira and Beckham will rotate. Julian Oswald will be Oscar's back-up with Silas too. Ocampos, De Bruyne, Lallana and Rodrigo will all be rotating on the wings. Bertoli and Fierro will be smashing in the goals hopefully :) Any screenies you guys want please just ask.



So lets see how the new young Saints can do this season, kicking off against City!!!
