I say go ahead mate, he can jump in somewhere else when he has more free time to play/post

Still nothing so I might. I'm out tommorow so if I don't get it by the time I get back I'll play Season 2

[mcandrew003]

Guess whose got the save? Will download it shortly, should get an update soon.

[Taff]

I'm sure @Harish will understand so we can get things going, If you take season 2 and I'll jump up to 3 if thats OK, I'll be sure to get it done then before I go on Holiday

[Brenty92]

There may be a tiny announcement coming, just waiting to hear back from the main man, the host with the most ?

[Harish]

So,well,I would like to start off by apologizing for taking so long but I had a case to take care of immediately which resulted in late nights and I didn't have the time to unlock my phone let alone play,even now I am posting this with a really bad fever but I can't keep you guys waiting.I would like to warn that due to the short time I invested in this career,it is my worst FMM career to date and I actually forgot to take some screenshots so the update might not be as detailed as you guys expect,sorry for the inconvenience I have caused here.

        The Atletico Madrid Challenge:

Well after getting the save from lee I saw that the squad was largely the same and with the loanees returning I had a really robust squad,but as per the challenge I had to sell Ricardo,so who did we sell him to??And who was his replacement?

                         Transfers In:

Spoiler

Well not much here,managed to fill some gaps in the squad and a the new striker for our team,Firmino.He was quite profilic last season with 21 goals so must bang in the goals.

                       Transfers out:

Spoiler

A big mistake here......I really didn't notice who made the Icardi offer till it was completed..........

                        The league:

Spoiler

Well,like I said this one was my worst season to date......A really big gap between us and the top 2......... Hopefully @mcandrew003 can do better.

                          The cups:

Spoiler

Well quite a good performance here by the boys who manage to clinch the Spanish cup but we couldn't get the super copa in our bag,which is a bummer.

               Champions league:

Spoiler

Not much to say here.....We got thrashed by them.

                       The player:

So,we chose Firmino as our main striker how did he fare??

Spoiler

Only one thing saved me here.....?My luck,it was full of tension until the very last game where Firmino needed two goals to reach the 30 goal mark needed to complete the challenge and he did atleast do it......

Once again I forgot to take the player stats and the manager stats so forgive me.

Thanks for reading .

[Taff]

Thats OK dude, you got the 30 thats all that matters and too be posting this while Ill takes guts, lets hope @mcandrew003 gets cracking and we see what sort of team I end up with

[mcandrew003]

Awesome season Harish, some great signings that I'm enjoying using so far  Don't worry on the 30, in the end hitting the target is all that matters. Thanks for posting and hope you get better mate.

Totally agree 

Did you see my International 1KC? Oh wait, that's was on OME 

[Harish]

Wow,ganging up on my team,eh?

Looks like me and Robbie might have another spin at this,watch out you unbelievers..

[samhardy]

This has started really badly

Not ganging up, just discussing the truth 

My new striker played once for the 'Mighty' Reds, that's all I'll say....

mcandrew003's Attempt At:

The Community Atletico Madrid Challenge

Hello and welcome to my attempt at this wonderful challenge! After taking over from Harish, I delved straight into the market to add some talent to our squad, including those below:

Wonder who my striker is..... We bring in Ross as a creative outlet, aswell as Castillejo as a wider option. Before the season ended, I also signed Grimaldo as a LB and Pione Sisto to cover the other wing. 

Harish's choice, Firmino, goes out to our rivals for a cool 58 Million, whilst Savic and Borré go for a combined fee of 23 Million. Finally, another of Harish's signings, Vasquez, leaves for Firoentina. 

Lets take a look at my choice....

Super Luis Suarez is our man! I think this is taken at the end of the season, he still looks phenomenal though and a coup for 45 Million. 

We struggled this year, not going to lie. Here is his form about midway through:

Didn't help with games like this:

Hmmmm

We switched to this at the end of the year, turned our fortunes slightly:

Here is how we did in the league:

Really poor. Sorry for letting you down guys 

Not quite sure how I lost this, we smashed them! 

How many could Luis grab though?

37! Much better than I was expecting, and if you look at Barkley's stats you'll see why I bought him. 

Ross stole the show. 

 

Not too bad, would love to see some more trophies. 

There you go then. A poor year with no silverware, sorry for being a let down. Here is how the scores look:

Leecutler - Mauro Icardi - 39 Goals

Harish - Roberto Firmino - 30 Goals

mcandrew003 - Luis Suarez - 37 Goals

Thanks for reading. I believe @Niall C is next?

[BatiGoal]

Nice little pick. Can't go wrong with Luis, can ya! He does well anywhere up front. No trophies but a good amount of goals. Congrats. 

[Brenty92]

Decent season pal, took a risk taking an aging biter but it payed off in the end

[Taff]

Looking like a strong squad, should make my job easier when my turn rolls around

It is indeed, hope Niall keeps it preserved for ya 

[mcandrew003]

Oh also guys, I'm away tommorow for a week so @Brenty92 is going to be the step-in host until I return. Hope that's ok. Cheers!

[Brenty92]

Just to let you all know I'm a great boss, 29 goals for everyone on the house ??

Let the madness begin 

[Niall C]

Good work @mcandrew003 guys and indeed @Harish prior to that. No pressure on me then eh....lol

I better get to work, I'll try leave you something to work with @Taff 

[Harish]

Great season mate,we really need to stop giving Real our strikers,the guys who come later are gonna be pissed off at us.Never thought Vazquez would go for 16 mill,signed him solely for fitting him into my formation,but Suarez was a really great choice.Lack of trophies was something I also suffered in my turn,so hopefully somebody can stop this bad trophyless run.

[salohcin]
