Dortmund Destroy Our Unbeaten Run

View attachment 353814

Well we buggered ourselves over there, we were unbeaten all season until this match were after we scored an early goal we had one centre back sent off and then the other scored an own goal.

So right before the loss to Dortmund we won our first game back after the winter break with new signing Abdi scoring on his debut.

Well the loss was annoying but it doesnt affect too much in the league standards as were still 10 points clear at the top ahead of Schalke.

We had the better chances but they had the better possession and i guess im not too unhappy with a 1-1 draw away from home against the moneybags.

A terrible run of form saw us draw with Koln after losing to Dortmund but we then managed to rattle off 3 league wins in a row before the Champions League tie against Monaco.

Ross Barkley scores the only goal of the game as we go through 2-1 on aggregate, i would also like to mention that i have reverted back to the Shots Galore tactic and Barkley is particularly enjoying it.

Dongou finally made his debut after being in the African cup of nations straight after joining in January and managed to rattle off 4 goals in his first 3 games including the winner against Bayern and the only goal to see us go through to the next round of the German Cup.
We managed a couple more big goalscoring wins in the league but also got thrashed by Hoffenheim and only just managed to scrape a draw at the end of the month against Werder Bremen.

Gotze and Van Dijk are just out of the top 5 in the Golden Boot race with 13 league goals each so far this season.​
 
Hello.

First i want to commend you for this great story! It have kept me entartained for the past two hours, and i look forward to reading more forward :)

I noticed now LEwandowski is lead goalscorer with 27goals in the league. Not to far back when Cerri was top scorer he was not even on the charts, so is Lewandowski on a rampage??? would be fun if you could screenshoot bayerns matches, and lewandowski aswell, im a bit of a fan ;)

You're squad is strong, but i also notice you use CM as right center midtfielder. CM dont realy seem to work to well in 14.3 in my experience. have you tried to change the role to BWM or Box to Box??

Also vs Larger teams away like Bayern and Barelona etc, i find using high defenceline and tick offside works realy well.
Not that you need any help :p

Keep up the good work man, it REALY entertaining!

Thanks for reading, against the bigger teams i generally use a different tactic with 2 defensive midfielders, Lewandowski managed 22 goals in his last 20 games but has been scoring consitently over the whole season but just not as many league goals at the start, hes just turned 30 and although considered a first team player Cerri is their lone striker at the moment

Champions League Quarter Final

1st Leg V PSG - Away

A late Dongou goal puts us in a very strong position for the second leg but it was Abdi's injury that was the bigger news.

Abdi Out For 3 Months!

2nd Leg V PSG - Home

View attachment 353597

A comfortable 3-0 win at home sees us through with Ross Barkley in fine form and loving his more attacking role in the current tactic.

Champions League Semi Finals Draw

So we faced Barcelona at this stage and lost for the past 3 seasons and now this year we draw their big league rivals Real Madrid.

Someone mentioned Tariq earlier who went on to score against us before we hit two goals back but the win wasnt to be as they grabbed a late equalizer but i cant be too unhappy with 2 away goals.

So along with all of our European exploits we destroyed Schalke in the German Cup Semi Finals with Draxler dominating his old club.
In the league we had 3 more wins and a draw and the win against league rivals Schalke confirmed our 3rd League title!

An early goal from Ledson who put in a man of the match performance before Isco grabbed an equalizer but it wasnt enough as we go through on away goals.

View attachment 353583

How gutting is it for Barcelona that having won it 3 years in a row the Final is at their home ground, CSKA Moscow are a dominant force at the moment having reached the Final last season too.

In the last league game of the season our second string lost 1-0 thanks to a very late goal against Nurnberg.

A massive 14 points clear at the top in the end against surprise second placed team Hoffeheim! Whilst Diego Simeone's first season in charge ended with Bayern Munich down in 4th place.

Draxler tops 3 of the charts like he has all season whilst you will find it hard to believe that Bayern finished 4th when they had 2 of the top 3 goalscorers in the league this season.

"I see you used SS instead of AP in the AMC position in the final, what was you're initial thoughts about that, and how do you feel it worked out?"

"Also, this season you seemed to have favoured Ginter as BWM in several though matches. care to elaborate?"

"And one last question. Gotze seem to have moved down from firstpick to supersub. Is this how you intend to use him next season aswell?"

Again Conngratulations on the Quadruple and best of luck next season!

1 - I have been using the SS role in recent months although it didnt work out too well in the Final for Barkley it is that tweak that has given him his blistering goalscoring form in recent months.
2 - I only really use Ginter in midfield if others are tired as i prefer him as my backup centre back but with Ledson out injured my hand was forced.
3 - When i was playing with 2 upfront Gotze was playing as one of the strikers but now i have gone back to this tactic he has been muscled out of the AMC role by Barkley and the AMR role of Abdi so will have to make do with being a supersub but im called Tinkering Tonkin by the media because i never keep the same team or tactic for long!

Summer Transfer Window

Season Expectations

View attachment 352980

If i wanted to mess around with the wage budgets i could have well over £120Million to spend but im not sure on if i need too many new players.

Players Out

So a lot of players left on loan whilst a few youngsters left and our 3rd choice keeper moved to Bayern for a nominal fee. The big transfer out was Kevin De Bruyne our club captain and someone who has been at the club since before i took over.
It was a big shock move but i felt like he wasnt getting the game time like he used to with most of his appearances coming from the subs bench and i would cash in while i still could.
The fans were not happy that he went on the supposed cheap, Hes valued at around £35Million and i sold him for £30Million and a transfer listed youngster to Monaco but i feel as if the player i brought in could be amazing and would have cost me £18Million in a separate deal.

View attachment 352979

Players In

So i brought in 4 players but lets only real talk about 3 of them, the one i wont really mention is a backup keeper who my head of youth signed, i forgot i still let him do this as hes only made 5 signings since i took over.
First off here is the guy i got in the De Bruyne deal who was transfer listed by request after not getting game time at Monaco but he looks a beast!

Roberto Gabellini - CM - P/EX

View attachment 352978

Mokhtar Gabsi - DLC - £21Million

View attachment 352977

He will be brilliant cover to start off with at centre back and left back and i could really see him taking Rodriguez's spot in the side a year or so in, I cant believe at 21 he has 63 caps for Turkey!

Gonzalo Sosa - GK - £8.25Million

View attachment 352976

He only had a year left on his Barcelona deal and was refusing to sign a new deal so i snapped him up for half his value, he could easily push Zieler out of the side this season and already has 5 international caps.

It was far from convincing but we will take our first piece of silverware of the new season with an own goal and Ginter missing a penalty.

European Super Cup V Liverpool

View attachment 352953

Another trophy in a dominant performance against Europa League Winners Liverpool and as you can see Draxler is our man of the match again.

Champions League Groups Drawn

View attachment 352951

Quite an interesting group as we get to face recently sold Club legend and Captain Kevin De Bruyne a lot earlier than we could have ever expected.

August Fixtures

7 wins in a row to start the season, 2 pieces of silverware and a 10-0 thrashing in the German Cup with youngster Abdi grabbing 5 goals in that match.

Selling 'Kevin DeBrune' in that deal was definitely good business imo. That player you got in the part exchange looks deadly.

Thats what i thought but the board and fans are still grumpu, i was going to sign the other guy separately anyway and then they came in for De Bruyne so i just thought it saved a lot of hassle by doing a double deal. Now is the sort of time all the super regens are starting to come through and wipe all the real players out of the team its my favourite part
