Season 10: Letters S and T - Player selection

I’ve been let loose to step in for letters S and T after @darlingtonvii‘s absence (hope all is okay buddy). It is always good to have the honour of managing Spurs.

Given we are trying to use existing players as much as we can, being one of the latter seasons makes this trickier.

I will start with letter T as that was the easy one. Francisco Trincao is our lad. He first appears in the game at Braga and is someone I considered using in my Strikerless Bonanza earlier in the year. I’m pleased I have had the chance to use him finally before we all move on to FMM20.

His attributes are lovely and will slot in on the left wing and hopefully grab some assists.

As for my S and my goalscorer, Andre Silva is the fella I’ve opted for. I used him in the MSN-BBC challenge in FMM19 and have wanted to use him again.

These sorts of challenges are ideal for using players you pseudo want to use but haven’t got around to. I managed to use Fullkrug in my previous go-a-round, for example.

Those are the selections and both are Portuguese, which had completely evaded me until this write-up as daft as that sounds.

Thanks for reading!

Goodluck mate! I've used Trincao in Benfica last time and he's impressive! Sort my head like "FeLiX wHo? We got Trincao"

Thanks. I’m amazed at how good his attributes look.

I don’t think I’ve used either player before so it’ll be interesting to see how they get on.

Good luck.

Thanks Ian.

I have got to say a quick spoiler on the season so far: our version of Zaniolo is just nuts! Utter beast of a player!

His goal returns from central midfield is crazy and that is without being on pens and free kicks. You've got a good lad there.

Ya, he has pretty good eye for goals and has scored some screamers in my career.

Season 10 - Letters S and T - Results

I had the pleasure of using letters S and T. To recap, Silva was my striker and goal-getter. Trincao was my left winger and assist-maker.

Transfers

We had a lot of deadwood in our squad from previous saves. Mbappe, Rashford, Pellegri, Nelson, and a few others. My main target was to sell most of these or use them as a part exchange. In most cases they want as part exchanges.

I wanted to strengthen midfield and grab a central defender from the next generation, plus the two main boys. 

Domestic Competitions

We won the Community Shield, with the boys doing the business.

Annoyingly we got FMMed out of the League Cup, losing to no-history Chelsea on penalties.

The FA Cup was ours with victory over Liverpool, with the boys doing the business again.

And the league came home. A nice tidy 100 goals in the ‘Goals For’ column and a decent 13 against.

International Cups

The Super Cup returned home with a brace from Mr Silva.

We also grabbed the CWC.

And the Champions Cup was ours, with another Silva brace in a comfortable 3-0 win.

Player attributes

Silva looked like this at the end:

His value had shot up to £55m, which isn’t to be sniffed at.

Trincao has greens in all the right spots.

Both should be good assets to sell for the next manager.

Trincao got us 41 assists, with an AVR of 7.61. I toyed with focussing down his side for a few games, which made no difference whatsoever, weirdly.

Silva grabbed us 51 goals. I was happy with this as he was aging and he always delivered in the big games.

This gives them 92 points.

I really enjoyed my second season with the club. It’s great managing Spurs and smashing goals and assists in.

@Ian has kindly agreed to do the next season (although he is quite used to doing 30 now so it may feel a bit odd for him), so over to you buddy...

Season 11 Player Choices

There wasn’t anybody readily available for this round so I decided to have another go in what will probably be the final season I play on FMM19.

Here are my chosen players.

U: Cengiz Ünder (Assists)

37CF5DEA-D0D6-4A32-B72A-20BA8302C223.thumb.png.5226faf33c181620671c6a6167715810.png

With the way that the squad is currently shaped it made sense to try and go for a left winger and this guy was the highest valued option available. I’ve seen a fair bit of him this year but have never used him myself so it’ll be interesting to see how he performs. He cost £45m but after the great work @Rob did last season in reshaping the squad the board gave us a tidy £173m to spend so we could well afford it.

V: Felipe Vizeu (Goals)

050E7C9A-FB48-4DDE-AB52-7726476C4C6D.thumb.png.fbe4c68cb734a253784cc6f551dcf443.png

We managed to sign this guy as a straight swap for Trincão and again he was the highest valued option we had available. He looks fairly good and whilst not a world beater he has had a decent career judging by his history page so I’ll be hoping he’s still got a goal or two left in him.

So those are my choices and I’ll be back with my season review in a day it so.

Thanks for reading.

Good luck. I used Under in the early stages of my Roma career and he is damn good. Not heard of the other guy though

Yep ditto, Under was brilliant for me at Roma so hopefully you get some of that too 👍

Season 11 Results

I wanted to have another go at this mainly to test how the tactic I used for my Moise Kean career would get on in a different environment. The plan was to basically plug and play and not alter a single setting throughout and that’s exactly what I did so let’s see how it turned out.

Transfers

I did a fair bit of business this year and ended up £117m in the green largely thanks to finally managing to sell Mbappé for decent money. Most of our main centre backs were around the 30 year old mark so I wanted to offload one of them if I could and Upamecano was actually a squad outcast so he was the one I chose. We got fairly good money for him too and used some of that to bring in a new young centre back who seems half decent. There are still a few older players that could probably do with being replaced but there should be a decent transfer budget for whoever takes over for the next season to work with.

Team Results

The season started with us facing the horrible task of having to beat the mighty reds in the Community Shield, we just managed to get the better of them with Vizeu scoring a goal on his debut in a 3-1 victory.

We had to face off against Liverpool again a week or so later, this time in the European Super Cup and this time we couldn’t get the victory as we had a couple of goals disallowed and a man sent off in a frustrating game for us.

The league was fairly straightforward and ended with us unbeaten with just four draws. Chelsea and Liverpool offered the most threat but there were never any doubts even from the early stages that we’d win the league as you’d expect at this stage.

We won the Club World Championship but it wasn’t the perfect match as we would’ve hoped for more action from our duo. Vizeu did manage one goal from the penalty spot so it could’ve been much worse I guess.

Manchester United were our opponents in the League Cup final with us having already beaten both Liverpool and Manchester City in the earlier rounds. This fixture came at a time when we weren’t at our best due to suffering one or two injuries and we found ourselves to be rather poor defensively which resulted in a ding ding battle which luckily went our way after extra time.

After beating Liverpool 6-0 in the FA Cup semi final we faced off against North London rivals Arsenal in the final which ended 4-2 in our favour thanks largely to a brace from Vizeu.

We fought through the latter rounds of the Champions League to reach the final and I’ve just noticed that we actually played Liverpool in every cup competition that we could’ve possibly met them in as we beat them in the quarter final in this particular competition. Anyway, the final was against Real Madrid and was one way traffic more or less throughout with a hat trick from Vizeu helping us to a 6-0 victory to end the season in style.

Players

Cengiz Ünder managed 35 assists in 63 games as he put in a more or less injury free campaign. I didn’t try anything in particular to focus on him assisting other than playing him on the left wing and having him set to take corners and he did fairly well.

Felipe Vizeu scored 69 goals in 54 games which I’m happy with especially considering he suffered a month long layoff. Even though he’s 32 years old, he’s still valued at £62m so hopefully he can sold for decent money or used as part exchange to good effect by the next participant.

Score

U: Cengiz Ünder - 35 assists

V: Felipe Vizeu - 69 goals

I’ll now hand the save over to @Foxy who will then in turn send it to @Lord Danish who I believe is taking over the next season. 

One other thing I’d like to mention is that there seems to be a little bug on the save that was highly annoying. Basically every so often a player will disappear and not be available for selection. You can find him via the player search to get to his profile where you can then demoted him and he’ll then appear in the reserve squad. You can then promote him but he still won’t be available for selection when you go back to the first team selection screen. He’ll be back available again after the match finishes though which is rather strange, it must’ve happened about three or four times for me so I thought I’d mention it.
