Kerui was sold for a record transfer fee for a Chinese player with Nottm Forest picking him up for 10mil. Rest were sold as they were not needed.

Snagged a big fish in Coman who we brought in for 86mil from Bayern.  Idowu was brought in to give us another option in the full back position.

Not a good season when compared to the last few. I had a major injury issue during this season as most of my regulars were out for a long period of time. Sobhi and Aspas went for 3 months while Coman, Bentaleb and Ayew all went for two months. Club World Championship and CFA Cup was literally played with my reserve XI.

So, as you can see the injuries definitely impacted our performance as for the first time in the career, we were not leading in either goals or assists.

After his injury, he just couldn't put on his striking shoe and ultimately it led to us having the weakest season in terms of goals.

 

Update.png.3eddfbe0a706e4d60cf469a830dfa858.png

235/1000 -> 765 to go.

 

Still cannot get hold of a decent striker. Lebandowski, Mario Gomez, Sergio Aguero and Alexis Sanchez all snubbed us as they wanted to retire. Ultimately, i had no choice but to sign a midfielder who i would try to retrain:

Spoiler

Witsel.thumb.png.d21c8d90744e73142ddac2ddab098f42.png

AXEL WITSEL

This is already looking like a long save due to lack of proper players.

Really bad luck with all those injuries. With those and the difficulties getting players to China, this is turning into a very challenging challenge!

Good luck with your converted midfielder next season.

Mate you are still doing really good so far, ashamed about injuries, but you are playing with veterans that are more likely to pick up injuries at this stage of their careers.

Do you think that the game is harder also this year, which make sit even more interesting regarding these types of challenges

Good luck mate, you have enough experience of this game to turn this around and get back on track with Witsel

Hopefully but Witsel has refused to retrain so this is already turning out to be harder. So, I'm playing him as a shadow striker

Still all to play for and these small setbacks and curveballs are actually making it a real fun career to follow. Keep going, man, it was always going to be a marathon. 😉

Thanks @BatiGoal , @URz @Cockers2505 for your kind words of support. I envisioned this career as a long one but i just wasn't ready for the player refusals. But no issues, my mind is tuned now and i definitely intend to finish this.

Amartey was sold back to Leicester for 24mil as he was creating a mess in training and breaking harmony.

Again got some decent players in Gnabry and Mbemba who would give us more options in midfield and defense. And Cheng Shilong graduated from our youth academy and he is the finest to come out. More on that later.

 

Season Performance

Forgot the screen this time but we won the usual League and Champions League and lost the CFA Cup just like last season. But there is one major change from the last season. We won the Club Worlc Championship for the first time. Yes!!! We are the world champions.

We won the league in dominating fashion this time conceding only 19 and going 21 points clear of our nearest rivals. Since Witsel didn't want to retrain as striker, Guo Tianyu was given his first full season as a support striker to Witsel and look at him shine.

A crazy crazy match. We were leading 2-1 going into this leg but this was a goal fest and a Tianyu hattrick was countered by a quadruple from Wu Lei.

Another crazy couple of games. We led 4-1 coming into the away leg and Huaxia held us to a 3-3 draw. The big games have literally been goalfests this season.

Tianyu was on fire in this tournament. He notched up a hattrick against Saitama and then a quadruple against Juventus to take his tally to 7 goals in the tournament. He finished with 38 goals due to missing some matches due to injuries. What a breakout season!!

Wow, have you seen a better profile of a youth graduate. Look at those physicals. I am getting an itch of completing a 1KC with him now.

My attempt at retraining him as a striker fell through but still he managed to almost match the tally of Aspas from last season and also got a solid 23 assists to his name.

Now, i have not selected any players for the next season so far because of one reason, i have won the World Club Championship and so my self imposed exile of being in China has been lifted. Since I am facing so many problems in recruiting good veterans, should i move to a different nation or should i continue this challenge in China only ?? Guys, what do you think??

Congrats on the many trophies. Especially the CWC, getting that first one in is always special. 

I'm really enjoying this "1KC for oldies". Can't remember what the rules state, but as far as I'm concerned any league will do.

Good going mate, enjoying this, I think you should do what helps you achieve the best results, if you think you have reached your ceiling with Shandong, then look elsewhere if it gives you more opportunities, you have done them proud, what ever you choose I will be keeping my eye on your progress, all the best mate

So, i have a question. When joining a new club, can i use an existing player from that club for this challenge or it is only restricted to first season??

@BatiGoal @samhardy @Cockers2505 can you clear this??

I just checked the rules and as I understand it, yes you can. 

What you can not do is buy them at a younger age, train them at the club, and use them once they hit 34yo. That's a no. Everything else is fair game. That's my understanding.

So, little bit about the next player that i have chosen for this challenge:

Benedetto.png.31c69758c2f71e7ea616d330b16ce0f8.png

Name: Dario Benedetto

Clubs played: Tijuana, Club America, Boca Juniors. He has been playing for Newcastle since 2019. 

His current profile:

Screenshot_2018-11-14-17-30-50-68.thumb.png.4aba9977aabf9d26b3fa520c20af7869.png

 

When i took over Newcastle, we had just 6 games left with them sitting at 16th. I managed to steer them to 12th with Benedetto playing only one match as he was injured:

Premier League is a steep curve from China definitely but i think that's a challenge i will enjoy as China was becoming too easy and the lack of players wanting to join us was hindering the progress.

OK another noob question I have as the players not willing to join and wanting to retire is persisting even in the premier league so instead of transfer can I loan in my next player??  I think that can solve this problem

Unbelievable season. In my first foray into Premier League with Newcastle, The Magpies lifted the title, their first since 1927. And we also won the FA Cup, our first since 1955. Amazing season. The league went down to the wire with us and Spurs equal on points going into the last day but where Spurs could only draw their last game against Brighton, we won ours against West Ham to win.

296/1000 -> 704 to go.

 

So, next season Champions League. Europe, beware the Magpies are coming, and the man who would lead us in our quest.

Good luck in Newcastle, watch out for Zaza, He isn't known for converting penalties.

Ok thanks, will keep that in mind.
