End Of Season Stats and Awards

Summary

A decent season in the league as we look to dominate it for years to come but getting knocked out of the German Cup so early on was not very good.
In Europe we really need to get past Barcelona now after they have beaten us in 3 Semi Finals in a row and gone on to win it each time they are what stands in our way of Immortality.
Players wise Draxler has been simply outstanding whilst i have been impressed with new youngster Ryan Ledson and Sturridge has done incredibly well for how good my assistant manager thinks he is.

Top Goalscorer - Daniel Sturridge - 23 Goals

View attachment 355571

As you can see hes not rated highly or seen as being worth very much but he sure as **** knows where the goal is with his league goalscoring form incredible.

Player of the Year - Julian Draxler

View attachment 355569

He added goals to his game this season with a decent haul of 16 and had the most assists, the highest average rating and the most man of the matches of anyone in the German league and hes only 24!

I had new signing Ryan Ledson as my young player of the year but his screenshot didnt work, Since joining his value has shot up to £12.25Million, hes won an England cap and had an average rating of 7.26 in 20 games for us.

So they sacked Guardiola after his recent failings in the league and wanted an interview with me about replacing him! After i turned them down they opted to pay a fortune in compensation and pick up Diego Simeone.

Summer Transfer Window

Season Expectations

View attachment 355095

A nice bit of money and we had even more once i had sold a few players on so our budget was closer to £100Million and a massive wage budget.

Players Out

So there was a load of loan deals out whilst 4 players left for a combined £48Million, Knoche moved to Hoffenheim for £8Million and Meyer back to Schalke for £15Million as neither played much the past couple of seasons. Meyer i would have liked to have kept but he only had a year left on his contract and was refusing a new deal.
Sturridge moved to Italy after a decent season but hes just not up to our level anymore and it was nice to get his big wages off our wage bill a similar move with Khedira who left on a free transfer to Valencia as he had 2 years left on his massive wages i decided to let him leave.

The final player to leave was Balanta, hes been really good for us but after recent signings he was rated my 5th best centre back so i decided to cash in on him too as i try to keep my team streamline.

Players In

6 players come in for around £75Million and thats including 2 players on free transfers, 4 are from the English Premier League and the other two from Bayern Munich.

Alex Oxlade Chamberlain - AMRLC - Free

View attachment 355094

An awesome free transfer as he didnt want crazy wages, is exciting young attacking player who i could even try upfront and is now worth over £20Million.

Aaron Ramsey - CM - Free

View attachment 355093

I needed another central midfielder as Ledson and Romero are my only real out and out central midfielders and he was another free transfer from Arsenal. I almost completed the set but Jack Wilshere joined Chelsea on a free transfer instead!

Niklas Sue - DC - £29Million

View attachment 355092

He joined Bayern over me a couple of seasons ago but after their poor recent couple of seasons i snapped him up, hes fast becoming one of the best centre backs in the World and won the German Defender of the Year last season. It shows how we have moved up in the world as even the likes of Reus and Mueller who are at Bayern would consider joining us now.

Juan Iturbe - ST - £7Million

View attachment 355091

I needed a backup option at striker after letting the likes of Sturridge and Benzema go in the past 6 months and he was available on the cheap, hes played a mere 8 games since Bayern spent £Million on him 4 seasons ago.

Rafael - DR - £17.5Million

View attachment 355090

I think thats a brilliant deal for arguably one of the best right backs in the game, i was looking for a replacement as Trasch left after his contract expired and i saw him transfer listed for less than his value after being replaced in the Man Utd starting lineup by de Sciglio.

Ross Barkley - CM - £22.5Million

View attachment 355089

He was transfer listed by request and could well become one of our best players as his value shoots straight up to £30Million once he joins.

German Super Cup V Bayern Munich

View attachment 355028

5-2! They had far more chances than us but we new where the back of the net is and my attacking trio of Draxler, Gotze and De Bruyne were on fire today as we retained the German Super Cup and 7th trophy with Wolfsburg. Also you can see Bayerns winter transfer acquisition Jese who had a mare of game for them.

Was just looking he didnt do anything too bad he didnt run that much in the match and got taken off at half time but he didnt cause any of the goals.

5 wins out of 6 as our young youth intake striker Jan Van Dijk loves the change in tactic as he grabs 8 goals this month including 2 hattricks.
The only downside this month was the draw with Freiburg were i probably put too many backup players in the match after resting the first team.

Nice to be top and unbeaten so far whilst Bayern have already lost twice but im not happy about the amount of goals we have conceded so early on with 10 goals in 7 league games so far.

Well Bayern's new striker Cerri has had a blistering start to his career whilst i can see why Dortmund quoted us £100Million for Timo Werner.​

4 wins from 5 this month and were now 24 games unbeaten in all competitions including having not lost so far this season. Jan Van Dijk has kept up his impressive form whilst centre back Sue has been finding the back of the net too with 5 goals this season.
The big result this month was beating second placed Schalke 3-1, we were 1-0 down at one point but one of their former players Draxler fired home a quick double befoer Van Dijk grabbed a third.

Thanks mate, think i might have just bought a wonderkid midfielder who could trump the lot!
 
would SERIOUSLY recommend looking at Humam Tariq (he is a beast in this game)

p.s sorry if you already have signed him or whatever i'm on page 17 and i could have missed him on one of your updates

Dec Fixtures

A very busy few weeks before the winter break as we win all 6 of our league games across 3 different competitions and score at least 3 goals in each of our matches this month.
I rotated a lot and the likes of Sehularo, Ramsey and Ledson all impressed when they were given a starting berth.

Champions League Group Table

View attachment 354087


We easily top our first group as top seeds with PSV the other team joining us in the knockout stages having snuck past AC Milan.

Monaco shouldnt be too much of a challenge, they have a good but ageing squad, their strikeforce would have been the best put together 5 years ago but Benzema, Mandzukic, Falcao and Diego Costa are getting on a bit now.

League Table

View attachment 354085

Halfway through the season and were 11 points clear of second placed Schalke who have a game in hand. Were unbeatable in the league at the moment with 15 wins from 17 games and we seem to have shored up our defense a bit having conceded over half of our conceded goals in the first few weeks.

Winter Transfer Window

Players Out

5 players left on loan as they were simply not getting enough game time with us and will hopefully impress out on loan whilst i also sold Juan Iturbe after he only scored 3 goals for us, I sold him for a small profit so i wasnt too down and his replacement has more potential and cost less.

Players In

So i brought in 2 players in the transfer window first off was former Barcelona youngster Jean Marie Dongou who after scoring 8 goals in 10 games for Koln i snapped up with his release clause a mere £7.25Million.

Jean Marie Dongou - ST - £7.25Million

View attachment 354070

The next player is a young wonderkid from France who was on his way to Spain with Real and Barcelona putting big offers in for him before we stepped up our pursuit and stole him. He could quite easily go straight into the starting 11 and take over from De Bruyne.

Gregory Abdi - AMRC - £47.5Million

View attachment 354069

I also tried to sell Arnold but he is valued at £10Million and when i was offering him out at £2Million nobody put an offer in so looks like he will be with us until at least the summer.
