Wolfsburg FC - The German Youth Challenge

ryan gauld,grealish,zivokic all very good signings what formation u using?

 

[skyfall]

Thanks for following guys, Im really enjoying the save at the moment and cant wait to have a few german regens take the world by storm!
Skyfall - I have not had too much of a problem keeping hold of my better players so far, the media always say various teams are after Rodriguez but then nobody actually puts a bid in for him.

well, for me it was Barcelona that unsettled Volland but I got 27 mil E for him. Batshuayi looks good and I think that i'm going to replace Volland with him.

 

[GBLCFC]

Some quality signings there, push for the title now? Hopefully you can stop the FC Bayern train!

There all decent players i had Gauld on my long term Dundee United save and Grealish was the only decent Irish player in the National team on my Limerick save, Zivkovic looks pretty decent but in recent form on my game has 1 goal in 22 games! My tactic is called Shots Galore and is very attacking Meyer, De Bruyne and Perisic have been on fire as an attacking midfield trio.

well, for me it was Barcelona that unsettled Volland but I got 27 mil E for him. Batshuayi looks good and I think that i'm going to replace Volland with him.

I kept having the media ask me about Rodriguez going to Monaco or PSG but they never actually put an offer in for him, Batshuayi has been pretty good so far i remember him and Zikovic becoming amazing for Arsenal on my Man Utd save so when i saw him on the cheap i had to snap him up.

Some quality signings there, push for the title now? Hopefully you can stop the FC Bayern train!

Bayern are definitly going to be tough especially with Lewandowski now, I think we should be able to get past Dortmund though despite the fact they beat us already this season i think they lost two of their best players in Sven Bender and Lewandowski and didnt really replace them with equal quality.

Cool game gonna follow this also keep up the work

thanks man hopefully get a couple more updates out before work

October Fixtures

A real back and forth month this October as we win 3 games and lose 2, We started the month with an impressive 3-1 victory over Fiorentina with Meyer and Batshuayi grabbing early goals before Rodriguez confirmed the 3 points with a late penalty.
Leverkusen scored in the opening minutes of the game before Luis Gustavo got sent off for 2 yellow cards inside 15 minutes and after that we were chasing the game.
We then managed to beat Dusseldorf with 2 second half goals from our subs before falling to a late defeat to Porto as they scored 2 goals in the last 10 minutes.
We ended the month on a better note as Batshuayi grabbed a brace to down Augsburg, Next month will be key to our season with Bayern and Schalke two of our main rivals in league and Porto our main threat in the Champions League group.

So were 4 points behind Bayern who yet again have started the season unbeaten in 10 games whilst were 3 points clear of Leverkusen despite the fact they beat us this month and Dortmund are in 4th.

Well you would be expecting Robben and Lewandowski to top the goalscoring charts and assists charts but not the wrong way round with Robben the top league goalscorer and Lewandowski with the most assists.

Wolfsburg 2 - 1 Bayern

View attachment 362978

We finally beat Bayern at the 4th time of asking in a match we dominated but spent large parts of it losing after Thiago scored an early goal.
We had Arnold to thank with a 70th minute equalizer before De Bruyne scored a very late goal to seal the important league win.

Perisic Out For 4 Weeks

So the big Bayern win meant nothing really as we fail to capitalize on the league this month with Schalke confidently beating us away from home.
We did fair better in the Champions League comfortably beating Porto and then Lyon to confirm our place in the Champions league Knockout stages.
We also beat Nurnberg thanks to our attacking duo De Bruyne and Arnold who have been simply outstanding so far this season.

Thanks mate, hoping to get a couple of more updates up this morning

 

[maxeneize]

Hey, I've been reading your stories and they are great. Seeing your success I decided to try your tactic, and it's doing wonders in my save with Libertad from Paraguay. Do you remember where you got the tactic? I can't find the thread here and neither on the SI forums.

Keep up the good work!

December Fixtures

So we beat HSV at the start of the month in the German Cup setting up a Quarter Final against Bayern in a more of less winner takes all tie.
We then only managed a draw with Hoffenheim with the previously mentioned Firminio grabbing a late equalizer for them. We then finished our Champions League group campaign with an impressive victory over Fiorentina with goals from Meyer and Batshuayi.
It was the defenders we had to thank for the 2-1 win over Werder Bremen and we then had a bit of a turnaround against Stuttgart after stinking the place up in the first half we scored our 3rd penalty in 3 games before Meyer knocked in a brace.

Well i didnt expect to storm the group like we did! 5 wins from 6 beating the likes of Lyon, Porto and Fiorentina in a supposedly competitive group were we were 4th seeds.

Well it shows why you need to get top spot to hope for any progression as we get a decent draw against Galatasary whilst Fiorentina draw Real Madrid.

7 points behind of Bayern with a game in hand which if we win would also see us go 3 points clear of Schalke whilst Dortmund are struggling.

First of all thanks mate and yes its a brilliant tactic, It was actually on a pass the parcel save i did with a guy called Adamm08 who already had it uploaded for the team so i just saved the tactic and its been brilliant for me ever since.

 

[coolmcool]

Big transfer news coming up! Bit gutted i have to go to work before i can type it up, only work a half day today, looking forward to playing this save all weekend with my new signing!

Winter Transfer Window

So i wasnt given any extra money to spend in the winter window but had around £14Million to spend left over from the summer, My plan is to sell off several players who are complaining because of lack of game time.

Players Out

So first of i let the likes of Schuster and Caligiuri leave on free transfers because nobody wanted to buy them so i let my board agree contract terminations with both of them.
Next up i sold backup centre backs Klose and Vlaar for a combined £7.2 Million as both were not happy about game time, I had tried to sell Klose in the summer but with no luck whilst Vlaar hadnt been around for very long but i cut my losses on him once i brought in a decent replacement.
Left Back Johnson left for almost double of what i paid for him despite barely playing after Rodriguez chose to stay with us whilst Polak has aged considerably in recent months and leaves on a small fee.
Khalifa has not impressed so i was happy to sell him for as much as i did.

Players In

Right so 7 players from the first team squad were sold off so i could bring in a couple of quality replacements.

Legend Returns To Wolfsburg - Edin Dzeko!

Edin Dzeko - ST - £16.5Million

View attachment 362787

Hes seen as Wolfsburg's best ever player so when i saw him up for sale i had to bring him in. We needed an extra striker with Khalifa and Diouf leaving in recent months and Olic closing in on his 35th birthday we were only left with Batshuayi who at 21 needs another player to help him out.

Eder Balanta - DLC - £4.5Million

View attachment 362786

I was offered him by an agent and its probably the cheapest i have ever bought him for and the second he signed his value shot up to over £10Million. He will cover two roles after Klose,Vlaar and Johnson all left in recent weeks and fits into our theme of building for the future.

Transfer History

View attachment 362785

Right so thats another transfer window over, I have noticed that German youngsters are priced out as badly as English ones with some of the big quotes i was given for decent youngsters. Julian Draxler is my main target for the summer whilst Leon Goretzka almost joined us before i saw Dzeko on the transfer list. I also like the look of Niklas Stark but thats not just because hes a big prospect its just i feel like their needs to be a Stark at Wolfsburg.​

Good update with the tactic you use shot galore do you change any team/player instructions or just plug and play and OI playing striker less at psv save buth also want roulation tactic as back up

I just plug in and play, tweak to a different more defensive tactic against the bigger teams, same as i did with the Limerick save as it can leave you too open.
