14th in the league, still above the relegation zone so that is brilliant.

Key Player of the month

Tasos Bakasetas
View attachment 1090847
Best player of a dull month, no-one else could've been considered.

Youth Intake

Only 2 players are good enough to be considered as future first teamers.

Both are 1-star current and 3 and a half star future.

11th, still going well, just for it to continue in April and May then we celebrate staying in the league, I'm thinking the players can have a holiday in Las Vegas if we stay up.

Key Player of the month

Zacharie Boucher

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.

Uruguay - April
I took charge of Uruguay in November, so first port of call was to make a friendly in April, I'm using the same tactic as I am with Bristol City for them.

Friendly

Uruguay 6-1 Senegal
Gaston Pereiro (14th), Jose Gimenez (37th), Diego Rolan (41st), Luis Suarez (45th+1), Christian Stuani (52nd) and Edinson Cavani (81st) - Jose Gimenez (Own Goal 40th)
 
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.
