I will try and give him a game at some point for you then just to see how he does although I’m not a fan of 13 tackling for a CB.

I was genuinely getting annoyed as the goals were going in as I was perfectly happy to take a 2 players as I did with Peterborough in the league cup, I even went to defensive at 3-0 but my lads couldn’t help themselves 😅

Positioning > Tackling every day of the week 😛

In modern FMM I don't see 13/14 as bad tbh as everyone has took slight downgrades, they just look bad as not green. There is very few 15 P/T/P BPDs a!available As well.

Match Days 27 and 28

Yesterday I was basically moaning about scoring too many goals in one game and I have decided that the game knows what I am up to and it is just sh*thousing me now......

Match Day 27 versus Middlesbrough Away 

We travelled up to the (kinda) north east to take on Middlesbrough in the 1st leg of our League Cup semi but would the favourites tag weigh heavy around our necks?

No not really! They scored with there only shot on tafget but we were already 2 up at this point and we added 2 more in the 2nd half to take a commanding lead at half time of this 2 legged semi. Only blemish was the injury to Johansen who will be out for a month.

This means I add another 3 Championship players to the squad....well the reserve squad.

Reserve squad is actually a lie with one of these players as I am a big fan of him and he will be going straight into the team for the next game. We took Clayton and Howson who are both good Championship/lower half Prem players but it was Randolph the GK who I was lucky enough to take as he has the highest AvR of the 7’s and he is a good player to add in my opinion and an improvement on Begovic.

Match Day 28 versus Tottenham Away

An away trip to Spurs is always going to be tough but we do have the chance to take players like Kane and Alli.

Those chances really increased as we put 4 past them with only 1 going in our net in another dominant performance from the lads. We did leave it late though to get the winners but with Schneiderlin scoring a draw would have seen him leave.

With Kazaiah Sterling scoring it was obvious we would take him which was under whelming but who else would we get?

Kane and Alli both got 5’s!!! You can’t tell me the game isn’t taking the piss 😂

We actually did ok other than Sterling as we took Dier who is better than Schneiderlin and we took Aurier who is a decent RWB but it would have been nice to really weaken Spurs.

We are closing in on top.

That means we add 6 new players to the squad of which 3 I’m very happy with and 2 in Dier and Randolph will almost certainly play big parts in the 1st XI from now on.

 

Tomorrow’s Update: We take on Man Utd at home and then we have the 2nd leg against Middlesbrough.

Match Day 29 and 30

Today we have a couple of big games as we take on mid table Man Utd before we take on Middlesbrough in the 2nd leg of our League Cup semi although we are 4-1 up so that is just a formality surely.....

Match Day 29

Man Utd may be a mid table side this season but they have the players to hurt us (minus Lukaku of course who went to Brighton via us) so it’s no forgone conclusion that we take all 3 points.

We dominated the game but only won it by the single goal as Martial made it interesting in the 2nd half and I had that feeling that the game was going to BS towards the end but control and time wasting saw us through in the end.

No prizes for guessing who we took as Martial got the goal for them. Martial goes in the the pile with Hazard, Lacazette, King, Walcott, Zaha, Sterling and anyone else I have forgotten that can play the IF position for me!

Just 1 point behind Liverpool now but the top 4 places are looking pretty secure with a 10pt lead over 4th placed Arsenal.

Match Day 30

With a 4-1 lead against a Championship team I decided to rest a few players for this game just as I did versus Hull in the FA Cup but I was confident I had a team that could finish the job.

Gestede made the game interesting after Martial had given us the lead but once he got his 2nd for us I felt like we would be ok.

The draw means we swap our highest rated players from the match so we took Gestede who is a good target man but just like Giroud who never plays he really isn’t needed in this tactic. Going the other way should have been Martial but this was his debut for us so he is immune as is Aurier so it was Cairney who heads up north and is a great steal for Middlesbrough.

This result takes us to the final in February and the next day we found out our opponents would be Man City.

Match Days 31 and 32

If you cast your mind back a few days you may remember my annoyance when we beat Hull in the FA Cup 3rd round 6-0. Well keep that in mind during today’s update.

Match Day 31 versus Birmingham @ Home

We took on Birmingham in the 4th round of the FA Cup and with that dodgy draw with Middlesbrough still in my mind I decided to play my best team available. As half time approached I was regretting that decision as we were 5-1 up despite the fact I had been on control since the 30th minute. In the 2nd half I played with no strikers, only one player in the attacking midfield strata and we were on defensive and time waste yet we still 3 more goals in the 2nd half without response 🤪

So that means I have to take 7 players from Birmingham and let’s be honest they are all going straight into the stiffs.

What also annoyed me was Harlee Dean looks decent as a CB but he never made it and the best of the bunch was Jutkiewicz but I don’t play a striker and I already have Giroud and Gestede as target men I don’t us or need 😡

Match Day 32 versus Everton Away

We get back to league action as we travelled to the blue half of Merseyside to take on Everton who we drew with earlier in the season.

We are clearly a better side now than then and Hazard returned to goalscoring form to win us this game with an early goal and then a late goal as we dominated the game.

This is more like it! A sensible scoreline against a team with some good players.

It turns out we welcome back a familiar face as Danny Rose rejoins us after Everton had taken him in the first game against them this season and joining him will be Mason Holgate who isn’t a bad BPD or FB.

Match Days 33 and 34

Yesterday I got pissy as we put 8 past Birmingham and I ended up with 7 new players I have no need for but then I perked up a bit when we went top of the league so today’s job is stay top of the league but not win by too much 🤪

Match Day 33 versus Watford @ Home

With the team we have now I fully expect us to be beating teams like Watford especially at home as we are packed with attacking talent at this club now. Luckily our defence isn’t too bad either and they had to work hard in this game as Watford probably edged it but our superior attacking players were much more clinical and got us a 2-0 win.

We took Roberto Pereyra who is a player I have rated for a few years on FM/FMM and also Kiko Femenia who I know nothing about but looks a decent and versatile player.

I actually forgot my own rules after this game and only transfered Perayra but then remembered before the next game that I had one more steal so that is why the dates are a bit out on the player screens.

Match Day 34 versus Brighton @ Home

Two home games this update means that 6 points are a must.

We had to be patient in the first half but Ross Barkley cracked in a free kick on the stroke of half time and then Tony and a Slam Dunk OG gave us a three nil win and meant we could have a chance at winning back Lukaku who Brighton nabbed of us earlier in the season.

Well we might have won Lukaku if he hadn’t had a stinker against us.

We do take Knockaert who is a player I like and I think I had in my Graffiti save last month and then it was Suttner and Montoya who both won’t be challenging the 1st team at this moment in time.

Another 3 points to keep us top of the league and Liverpool slipped up as well meaning we are now 3 points clear at the top 😁

Match Day 35 and 36

Today’s update is a bit of the calm before tomorrow’s storm as we have our League Cup Final versus Man City tomorrow. Saying that we have an FA Cup tie against Crystal Palace which of course is important and then we have a league game against Newcastle as we look to stay top of the Prem.

Match Day 35 versus Crystal Palace Away

Martial is proving to be a good steal for us as he seems to have taken the mantle of team goal-machine from Hazard although he was a little keen a couple of times in this game and had 2 disallowed. Palace were clinical with there chances in this game and pushed us to the end but we deserved to go through.

A one goal win suited me as Palace don’t have an abundance of players I want but the steal of Justin Kluivert isn’t bad although as he was on loan from Roma his parent club might not be happy when they hear Palace lost him to us.

Match Day 36 versus Newcastle Away

Martial kept up his goal scoring form with a hat trick as we gave @Woody boys one hell of a thrashing! 

Tony now has 10 goals in 7 games for us and this is from FR and not as an out and out striker. The first half was one of those crazy FMM games where everything goes in and it was 4-3 at HT before we ran away with it in the 2nd half.

Its very nice to score 7 but it was handy the Mags got 3 A’s it meant just the 4 players coming our way. We got some decent players including Shelvey and Rondon but again they won’t be first XI standard at the moment. We also took Matt Ritchie (lacks pace) and Yedlin (has pace but lacks else were) as well.

These 4 filled both squads and I have started releasing players in the reserves that were at the club at the start of the save!

We stay 3 points clear at the top now but for the first time this season we have the best GD in the league which is something I always take as a really good sign.

Shocked to see he's no longer a DMC tbf, granted his shooting is pants but the rest could make him an interesting SS! Decisions, creativity, technique, dribbling are all pretty decent.

Yeah that seems a bit weird to me as well. He might get a run out at SS at some point maybe in the Liverpool game that’s coming up 🙂
