Season 11

Here I am with another update to this Amateur challenge. It’s been a long journey for the club and last season we managed to win the quadruple and I had thought about calling it a day but the new update came out and I decided to keep going so here we are.

I’ll go through the transfers first.

Transfers

We are quite a fair way into this now and I felt I needed to try and get some younger players in. The four main incomings are actually all regens and I’m not sure of who so I’ve put a screenshot of them all under the spoiler below the transfers list and if anybody recognises any of them you can let me know.

Super Cup

We played Inter in the Super Cup and made easy work of it with a 4-0 victory.

Champions League

We put on an absolute shit show in this competition and we crashed out finishing third in our group. Was a strange feeling playing these games and I just didn’t feel like I had any control over any of the games. I was rotating a lot and I think some of the players that I had as first choice were actually worse than my so called second string and I think that contributed to it but the only good thing to come out of this is that at least we did drop into the Europa League.

I failed to get a shot of the league table but here are the results below the spoiler.

First up we got beat by Porto and although it was a last minute winner we could have no complaints as we just couldn’t get into the game.

Next up we faced Man Utd at the Queen’s Park stadium and played a wee bit better but just couldn’t score and paid the price as they went on to win 0-1 and now I’m thinking we are bang in trouble here.

We then faced off against Real Madrid at home in a must win match. Well we won 5-0 in a rather strange game as it was rather close but I guess our boys must have brought their shooting boots.

The next game was the return game against Real and they got revenge and won 5-0 and honestly at this stage I was wondering what was going on with this competition this year.

We managed to pick up our second group win against Porto at home but it was kind of looking like we were going to have to make do with dropping into the Europa League.

We ended the shit show with a rather pedictable defeat at Old Trafford to confirm we’d be playing in the Europa League after New Year.

A horrible Champions League campaign but as I said earlier at least we can have a bash at the Europa against some lesser sides.

Club World Championship

We made hard work of this but did get a 2-0 win in the end against San Lorenzo in the Final.

Betfred Cup

Back to domestic affairs now and the Betfred Cup. We sailed through the competition and beat Rangers 3-1 in a fairly comfortable final.

Scottish Cup

We played Celtic in the Scottish Cup Final and hammered them in a 4-0 victory.

League

We had an easy time of things in the League only drawing two games all season and conceding just ten goals. It all felt strange and really easy which is the opposite of how the Champions League went. I did get the update at the beginning of the season and I’m thinking it may have messed this season up but guess we’ll never know.

Europa League

We fought through the knockout stages to find ourselves in the Final and Leicester were our opponents. We won 3-0 to win the Europa League and could celebrate the fact that we’d now won every cup competition we could ever enter.

Conclusion

Funny season that ended on a high in winning the Europa League to go with all of our domestic success. It’s seemed like a really long career this and I’ve played a season on the original winter update which included the need to sub subs, a season on first hot fix and then another on the new hot fix and I feel like I’ve been put through the wringer if I’m honest.

This is a good time to end this career for now. I’ll keep the save though and if I play anymore seasons I’ll put them up but for now it’s finished.

Thank you to all who’ve followed and it’s been a blast for the most part.

Really well done, easily one of the best saves this year. Wouldn’t be surprised if you won at the prestigious Vibe awards with this. Come on though, just one more season, win every game and win every trophy. Come on Ian, for me

Thanks, I’m not quite so sure it’s in that category but it was a nice career for me.😀

I will keep the save and I may continue later on but I’m definitely going to have a break from it for now.

Thank you, Yes it was a shitty group and you can easily lose to those teams no matter how good your team is. I’m glad we fought back to win the Europa.😀
