End Of Season Stats and Awards - May 2016

Season Summary

Well it was an amazing season ending in heartache, We got further than anyone would have expected in Europe going all the way to the Semi Finals before losing to the eventual winners Barcelona.
We went almost the entire league season undefeated before losing the last game and the title on the last day of the season but didnt finish the year empty handed as we retained our German Cup with a win over Dortmund.

Top Goalscorer - Edin Dzeko - 33 Goals

View attachment 360791

What a season for club Legend Edin Dzeko as he smashes in 33 goals leading the way as the German Leagues Top Goalscorer and he even turned provider with 10 assists.

Player of the Year - Kevin De Bruyne

View attachment 360788

16 goals and 20 assists for the Belgian who is now considered one of the best players in the German League and had an amazing 7.23 average rating from over 50 odd games.

Young Player of the Year - Ricardo Rodriguez

View attachment 360787

He had the highest average rating of the entire team this season and is one of the best Left Backs in the world and is only going to get better the likes of Tottenham, Chelsea and PSG have put bids in for him but only around £20 Odd Million too small amount for this awesome player.

Draxler Midfielder of the Year

Im not completely sure how Draxler can win Midfielder of the Year yet doenst make it into the Team of the Year.
 
Great finish to the season mate. Very close to Bayern, hopefully you can go one better next season and end their run. Also, a fair performance against Barcelona and unlucky not to be in a better position after that 1st leg. Excited for the new season.

Thanks mate, i know its going to take some doing to end Bayerns dominance but i think a couple of good transfers in the summer and we could do it our main problem is we only seem to manage to draw with them a couple of wins in the league against them would work wonders.

Summer Transfer Window
July/August 2016

Season Expectations

View attachment 360096

It was around £50Million again but i have already spent some of the money and wiggled the wage budget around a bit.

Players Out

So it was a pretty productive window as i sold 5 fringe players from the squad and made almost £40Million. First off Luis Gustavo joined Real Madrid for £11.25Million as he was unwanted and on over £120k a week! Next up was little known prospect Malanda who went to Spain also linking up with Real Sociedad for a decent £10Million.
Second choice keeper Cilliessen moved back to Holland linking up with PSV for £8.25Million whilst Dutch compatriot Van Rijn joined Mainz for a nominal fee.
The final transfer out was German Marko Marin who joined Bordeaux for just less than what we bought him from Chelsea for.
I also tried to sell Benaglio and Naldo but neither were wanted even when offered out on free transfers, Naldo is well into his thirties now and on big money whereas Benaglio has been replaced but his move out fell through

Players In

So it was actually quite a big transfer window with 6 players coming in as i look to shift a few things round especially people on big wages that didnt deserve it.
So here they are

Mario Gotze - AMRLC - £23Million

View attachment 360092

Well when you see one of the best German players around on the transfer list for that sort of money you have to snap him up! Bayern only played him in 7 matches last season so he handed in a transfer request. He was all but back at Dortmund before we swooped in for him.

Sami Khedira - CM - £15.25Million

View attachment 360089

He will easily fill the place left by Luis Gustavo and although hes not young he is German as i look to fill the team with Germans.

Ron-Robert Zieler - GK - £12.25Million

View attachment 360088

My scouts feel he is a better keeper than Benaglio, hes also a few years younger on less wages and is German so ticked all of my boxes.

Claudio Van Dijk - GK - £2.7Million

View attachment 360087

I was actually looking for a backup Keeper in the anticipation that we were selling Benaglio but our Head of Youth bought this guy anyway and hes not a terrible prospect.

Chris Smalling - DRC - Free

View attachment 360086

Hes a briliant free transfer buy and was brought in as cover in defense but looking at him now he could probably take Right Back Trasch's place in the starting lineup if he does well.

Ravel Morrison - AMRLC - Free

View attachment 360085

Ive never really had him on football manager before but my scouts seem to think he could become as good as the likes of Meyer and De Bruyne so we will have to see.

Transfer History

Starting 11 and Tactic For New Season

View attachment 360083

So we have a pretty small squad with just 22 players and 3 of them are only youngsters but i would rather have a decent small squad i can rotate than a massive squad with a load of deadwood.
If i could get rid of Naldo and Benaglio next window and bring in just the one player i think i would have a squad were im happy with every player left.

 
What a signing in Gotze, I reckon that's the final piece of the jigsaw to help you win the league. I'm that confident I'm off to the bookies to put a fiver on it!! ;)

Title Odds

View attachment 359943

So were still seen as only 3rd favourites despite finishing second the past 2 years in a row but beyond the top 3 they feel nobody stands a chance at challenging for the title.

German Super Cup Final V Bayern

View attachment 359941

Well defeated in a terrible game for us, this was before a few of the changes i made in the transfer window and was definitly the main reason why i brought in a couple more players.

Champions League Group Draw

View attachment 359940

So were up to 3rd in the seeding now but we still get a very tough group with AC Milan and Real Madrid in our group along with Pizen.

August Fixtures

View attachment 359938

Well after the loss to Bayern a 12-0 win in the cup was exactly what we needed with Mario Gotze bashing in 5 goals!
We then beat newly promoted St Pauli 5-0 before struggling to a draw with Dortmund after leading for a large chunk of the game.
We ended the month with a couple more impressive wins in the league with Mario Gotze on fire at the moment scoring another 3 goals.

League Table

View attachment 359877

A strong start to the season and its very nice to see Bayern have already lost in their opening 4 games of the season.

Player Stats

View attachment 359876

Gotze starting to pay back his transfer fee already with 4 goals and 4 assists in his first 4 league games and 9 goals overall already this season!​
 
can show us your Team Report summary and Squad depth please?

My average age is 23 but managing a scottish team makes it easy to keep the squad new and fresh as it seems youngsters enjoy to come here prove their worth and go down to England..

Wolfsburg 3 - 1 Real Madrid

View attachment 359772

Oh yes what a result against Top Seeds Real Madrid who were fellow Champions League Semi Finalists last season along with us.

September Fixtures

View attachment 359771

6 dominant wins in a row this month including 2 against Hoffenheim, along with Champions League wins against Real Madrid and a thrashing of AC Milan.
Gotze managed to smash in another 5 goals in one game against AC Milan, but overall it was Kevin De Bruyne who really shone this month.

League Table

View attachment 359769

2nd behind Schalke with Dortmund and Bayern on 19 points along with us but we do have a game in hand on all of them.

Player Stats

View attachment 359767

Its not very often we have any players in the average rating section so its nice to see Rodriguez and Draxler up there with Gotze in the Golden Boot race but he didnt score any goals this month with Dzeko not up to much.
