Monthly Review


Not a bad month, the Arsenal game was a disaster. Jack Wilshere tore us apart, he's become a real world class player. Disappointed with the Everton game too as they are games we should be winning now. Grabbed a draw against United thanks to Carlos ''I score when I want'' Fierro. Good end to the month though with wins over Sunderland and newly promoted Leicester.

Fierro also won Player of the Month with Niang 3rd. Butland won Young Player of the Month, Niang came 2nd and Jack Beckham 3rd in that award.

Belgium News

Belgium will NOT be competing in the 2014 World Cup. That's why the previous manager was sacked, so we'll have to wait a while for any competitive games but I have arranged some friendlies. Here's the World Cup qualification group and a big suprise who's top...

Monthly Review


Phew!!! Busy month, United dispatched well in the cup. We finished top of our Europa League group with Braga coming second, meaning Sevilla were eliminated!! I was hoping for a kind draw but PSV are probably the strongest team we could got. Solid league form with Fierro smashing them in, standard stuff now really. Lucas Ocampos' form really has started picking up which is good.

In the Braga match Butland got injured after 10 minutes and my normal backup Sam Garvey was on loan at Pompey!! So Arrondel had to play keeper and didn't do too badly to be fair. Straight after I recalled Garvey from his loan spell to fill in as Butland returned from injury at the end of the month after the Chelsea game.

Stats flying up, 20 work rate is brilliant as I love players with high work rate especially in the middle of the park

Great month! Once I had to play Skrtel in goal for Liverpool and he saved a penalty xD

Fierro seems to enjoy finding the net ;)

Keep it up!

Yeah except that horrible loss to Chelsea :/

Fierro is a machine anyone who doesn't sign him at the start for £1.2m is a fool!!! He becomes the best striker in the game.

Cheers pal
 
Still going great. Belgium will be enjoyable you will find methinks!

Oscar, Bertoli and the Scots join the squad
Tom Cairney leaves on last day
Lucas Ocampos' brilliant form continues
Destroy QPR to get through to COC Final AGAIN, this time we face Fulham



Transfers


View attachment 269427

Ins

So Oscar, Bertoli, the two Scots and Ole Petersen came in as they were already arranged. Pretty happy with these captures, Bertoli has been sensational so far and could turn out to be a world beater, here's a screenie in case you all forgot.

View attachment 269428


Outs

So the big names to leave were Zaha and Cairney. I made a good profit off them both especially Cairney as I signed him for £325k!!! Arondel left as I tried to offload him but people only wanted to loan him. Dudziak's potential had dropped and I let him go for free but chucked in a 20% of next sale so hopefully if he develops at Cardiff I could make some money off him. Zaha wasn't performing too well so I let him go to let Bertoli develop.

Other Clubs

Domenico Criscito - Zenit to City £44.5m
Ryad Boudebouz - Schaux to Spurs £14.5m
Toby Alderweireld QPR to Spartak Moscow £11.5m
Moussa Sow - Fernebahce to Swansea £11.25m
Martin Skrtel from Liverpool to Wolves £10.25m

Monthly Review


Another busy month as we finally catch up in the league games wise with everyone. Solid performances as we're through in the FA Cup and Capital One Cup final. Good form in the league as we were unlucky against Newcastle and City, Newcastle held on for the draw as we kept knocking on the door. City went one nil up early then had Vidal sent off so I pushed for a goal but couldn't bag one. Niang got injured halfway through the month and will be out for around 5 weeks so Bertoli stepped in with Doumbia still recovering from an injury himself, the young Italian did really well this month.

Record set in the Capital One Cup too

Monthly Review


Superb month as we win every league game! Even turned over City in a match we dominated. Only worrying thing is Carlos Fierro hasn't scored in a while :/ he's assisting a lot though and performing well. Oscar has finally got his match fitness up and is creating chances for us and adding that extra bit of class to the squad and Lucas Ocampos' form is just something else at the moment!! Keeping Kevin De Bruyne out of the side.


Nice to see Clyne getting his first ever goal for the club too.



Player of the Month

James Tomkins

2 Goals and some solid performances at the back. Won POTM too as Ocampos grabs YPOTM and I got Manager of the Month.

Wow. United are 4 points in front but look how tight it is behind them!! More astonishingly are Chelsea and Liverpool's positions!! Hazard is moaning at Stamford Bridge and I'm ready to pounce and make a shocking move the minute he hands in that transfer request. Liverpool are in real danger of slipping into a relegation battle too.


Belgium

Euro 2016 Groups were announced, here's what we are up against.

Quietly confident we can get out of that group, not too bad as we were seeded 3rd it could have been a lot worse.​

Glad you're enjoying it pal. Should get points of Sweden at least.

Here's the Player Stats, Carlos Fierro had an average rating of 8.02 back in December!!

Do people want me to do a Meet The Players Post? Or wait till end of the season?

Also next months update will include my first Belgium game, also I'll include who's managing who in the BPL
 
That sounds like a good idea Sam.

I'd do it after the season before the World Cup If your going to sell off any of your main players over the years or after the world cup if you expect any of them to do anything great
