Just ended the 1st half of the season and decided to post

So let’s start with the league !

Bundesliga

Currently 1st but no big difference with FC Bayern !!! They are very close to me and in the 2nd round I play against them at their home…

1st game of the year was a loss against HSV …Then I talk with my players and I built a momentum Great form and many big teams beaten such as FC Bayern , Dortmund and Werder Bremen !!

Champions League

I cannot believe it…It is the 1st time I have 6×6 wins after a long time and this time with SC Freiburg…..This means I beat 2 times the world’s best team- FC BARCELONA !!!

Must be the best game I’ve ever had…Well it would be the best game of all times if it was a Champions League Final!!!!!!

Now we face Athletic…Nothing we cannot handle…

DFB – Pokal

4 wins – 1 really easy win against a very weak team…3 wins against good teams but we were much better

Marco Verratti

Great youngster and great potential !! He will be playing with my U-23 team…

Team Stats

Gaitan is currently leading my team and he gets the award of the best player of my team till now!! Great ratings from almost all my players…Also really impressed by Raul’s finishing and Fierro’s dormant talent !!

Thanks for reading…

Well as you already know I finished 3rd last year so we are gonna play in this year’s Champions League…So we needed huge investments to improve our club’s strenght!!! So let’s see how I did in the Transfermarket…

First of all I board gave me an overall of 7.5 million budget…

I told the board that I can finish in the top 2 …

As you can see we are a really healthy club …These are my finances before my transfers !!!

Onto my transfers….

Players Out

Again I got rid of a lot of players that were just not good enough for me…Huge income by mediocre players such as Felix Bastians and Rosenthal

Players In

Solid and good right-back…Domestic signing 3.5*

First time I sign Masilela in this FM … Missed him…Really great for only 200k !! 3*

Kyriakos Papadopoulos !!! Best player in my team right now…Another domestic signing with great potential…Might be my biggest transfer till now !! 4* ( 5* potential)

Another Belgian joined my team…I doubt that many of know this player….I personally didn’t know he was that good in this FM till my bro told me Thanks bro !! …Great midfielder 4*

Another young and very talented player…I personally rate him much higher than Belhanda…3.5* (4.5* potential)

Once again very talented attacking midfielder…(What do you think Desmo?? )  3.5* (4.5* potential)

Love him for playing natural at both the left and the right wing…Also just 1.9 million for him is really cheap…

Mighty Raul is ours now !!! Signed to boost our shirt sales and help us as a backup coming from the bench..Hope he scores at least 10 goals this year …Also he will be tutoring our young striker Carlos Fierro !!

Overall Transfers

I also signed many players such as Boyata and De Silvestri as backups Hope they help in the future

Despite all this transfers my team looks healthier now having taken Champions League’s money for entering the Group Stage…I also have 16 millions budget left…Maybe a signing in January….

C.L. Group

I was handed a group in which I will be ashamed If I don’t finish at least 3rd !!!!

Youth / Training Facilites Upgrade – Buy Ground

Another great happening is that my board accepted to improve both my youth and training facilites making us now even more reputable Also we will buy Dreisamstadion by its owners !!!

Dreisamstadion Expansion

In addition ( I don’t know how did happened…maybe because we are gonna buy the stadium) my stadium will become bigger by 10000 seats reaching 34.000 seats by December

Sorry for that big post…

Thanks for reading..Comms please

The season ended  so let’s see how I did

Bundesliga

The 1st round was better than the 2nd round…In the 2nd round we lost 6 times !!! Overall it was a good round but could have been better…In some games I made some managerial mistakes and we lost some valuable points…

YEEEEEEEEESSS !!! We earned a Champions League Spot for next year !!! We really overachieved ….However we must improve our defence if you are to win the league next year !!! And of course our finishing !!! We lose many chances!!!

DFB – Pokal

Well I reached the final pretty easy…I didn’t face any big team…But Gladbach was really tough….We knocked them out in the extra time 10 minutes before the end !!!

In the final….

We lost….We could have won our 1st title but we wouldn’t deserve it…They were better so they are the champions….Maybe next year

Future Signings

Looks great for his age..He is only 17 !!! Looking forward to his dormant abilities !!

Another promising youngster …Signed to be backup for next year !!

Another backup for next year…He plays both left and right so I will usually sign him…

Team Stats

Greatest player this year was Papiss Cisse despite Belhanda’s big average rating…Then I would put Schuster and then Belhanda…

That’s all for now..

Thanks for reading !!

So let’s see how we started the season !!

Bundesliga

Great start to the league beating some good teams…Then 3 games without a win from which I lost 1-4 to my fierce rivals ….Then a loss 3-0 against mighty FC Bayern…Then again a great form and a record 5 consecutive wins !!!!Overall I think I am doing great

Great win although Schalke don’t do good!

Another win against title contenders Dortmund in Westfallen !! We were much better than them!!!!!!

We are currently 2nd …To say the truth I really didn’t believe we could reach 2nd place …We won some opponents such as Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen that I thought I would lose to them !!

DFB – Pokal Cup

First 2 games were very easy…Hannover was difficult but we scraped the win at the last minute

Team Stats

Julian Schuster is much better than I expected…He has awesome Free Kicks and can create chances out of nowhere…Papiss Cisse’s finishing is awesome as well and he scores 1/2 chances he gets

That’s all for now !

Thanks for reading

When I started my game I already knew that I had to make big changes in order to achieve a good position…I had to sell many players that wouldn’t make the difference…So…

Players Out

Great income by selling some really useless players such as Yano and Mudja !! Now I have the money to build a good team !!! In this transfer period I couldn’t find many good domestic player that would join my team so I signed players from other leagues…

Players In

I think that Arne Friedrich is …my 2nd greatest transfer !!!…Great ability and German!!! … 4.5*

I had to find a cheap right winger so here he is !! He is very good for us but I don’t like him very much…3.5*

Great Defensive midfielder for his money…!! Great transfer !! 4*

Good and very promising Defender Center…I wish I could find a German one having his abilities! 3* ( 4.5* potential)

Signed him for 2.5 millions ..I think that he deserves that money…He is also Belgian ( which makes him to me partially domestic player )

Marc-Andre ter Stegen !!!! By far the best transfer…!!! He is German and really awesome!!!! He will never change !!! 4.5* ( 5* potential )

Also I signed Hinkel , Antony Vanden Borre , El Ghanassy and Vladimir Gadzhev !!

Overall I like my first team but I don’t have depth in my team..Wish I had bigger reputation!

Tactics

After a long time I will play with 2 strikers…I don’t think that I have played with 2 strikers in the past…(maybe a little help from my brother or FMCRAZY )

Thanks for reading..

P.S. A post will come 5 hours from now !!
