The goalkeeper had a decent month, just the best for the month overall.​
 
Great Story

Being a Bristol City fan I'm really enjoying this story, sounds quite epic. Also I'm doing my own Bristol City save copying your moves step by step and it really does work. I'm end of September and doing pretty good 10th in the league. In terms of possession I'm absolutely destroying teams. A lot of games I'm finishing with 65% witch will soon turn into goals. Keep up the good work

Thanks, glad your going well, with possession I had around over 60% in each match, only a match against Huddersfield was at 50%.

13th, unlucky for some but lucky for us in the first season in the premier league, safe in the league, here's hoping for a good season next season, with the chairman giving me 59 million to spend on players with around 300k wage budget.

Key Player of the season

The whole team

Now from where we've come from, predicted to be relegated to staying in the league by finishing 13th, the whole team deserves the award.​

7th in the league, which is brilliant, for the first month of the second season in the premier league, let's push on and finished in the middle of the table or top half of the table at the end of the league.

Key Player of the month

Gustav Engvall
View attachment 1091208
The striker is showing he's is better than Tammy Abraham (who I sent back to Chelsea a year before his loan ends) with the 3 goals in the month, only Tasos Bakasetas could come close.

don't worry anyone, I haven't forgotten this, I'm just taking a small break from the save, just to enjoy some fun on a different save. I may play this at some point, but the format will be a bit different, instead of every month update, I'll do 3 months updates.
