Finished the Ajax season. Won everything.
Lost our captain Klaassen to AC Milan in January for £15M, and Fischer our main assist man to Fiorentina for £14,5M. And Boilesen to Man City for £5,5M - but he was 2nd choice to Knudsen anyway. Brought in Jonathan Calleri, Matias Kranevitter and Maximilian Meyer for money and made a couple more loan deals for Jese and James Wilson. Also Balanta joined after finishing his loan.

The one loss, against Man Utd - don't know how we lost that, but oh well.

The squad - with an average age of 21 years - guess you can win stuff with kids. Of course now my entire team is wanted by clubs in bigger leagues so I might have to rebuild again.

I'm not really surprised we managed to win the ECC. I had a very similar squad with Rosenborg of Norway when we did it with them. This tactic is just brilliant.
One last note. I noticed something when we played against Roma away - we were 3-0 up and all of a sudden they got 2 goals in 2 minutes. When I stopped the match and went into OIs I saw Destro had come on as a sub and he scored both goals. After my Assistant re-did the OIs (which was tight marking, hard tackling, weaker foot on him) they didn't score another. After that I put on tight marking, hard tackling, weaker foot on the SC in the OI screen like this :

I still let my Assistant do the OIs aswell, but now I'm not caught totally off guard when they change to a one striker formation. It seems to have worked well.
