Thanks chap. Was hoping to get more than the 113 the previous season but anything over 100 is good for my boys.

Ian - Season 9

We keep powering on now and this season was very similar to the last as you’ll soon find out.

 

Transfers

A little bit of wheeling and dealing and notably Zaniolo was brought back after a couple of seasons away from the club. His attributes had dropped towards the end of his first spell which I’ve had on previous saves so I let him go. I’d been keeping an eye on him to see whether they’d increase again and they did so I brought him back which is one of the main benefits of managing PSG as you can more or less buy whoever you want.

Team Results

We won everything just like the previous season and scored a good number of goals but conceded a few more than I’d like so something to try and work on for season ten.

Warriors

This was the highlight game where Boadu put in a superstar performance in scoring four goals in a 9-3 victory but it was the fact that all four of my warriors managed to get themselves on the scoresheet that I found most pleasing.

 

It was Boadu who scored the most this year with 43 goals, then came Josh with 41 and the Postman chipped in with a further 27 to give us a combined return of 111 so a touch down on last season but we’re happy enough. There were only a couple of little injuries to Boadu and the Postman so a pretty solid season in that respect and our assist guy added another 21 assists to his tally so he’s just quietly plodding on. The target for me remains the same, to get to 1.5k goals and beat our season five return of 118 so we’re heading in the right direction with both targets looking attainable.

Another excellent club season.

[Woody]

Top stuff again mate. 👍👍

[FuddledFox]

Great season Ian.

Do you not find that Zaniolo tends to be a bit selfish and take too many goals. I had him in my save but got rid because of that.

[Woody]

Ive got Zaniolo playing as a box to box or sometimes as a Left wide midfielder. He has been awesome.

Thank you Foxy

He’s in the BBM role and he doesn’t seem too bad there, it’s Havertz in the AP position that steals a lot of goals but I think Zaniolo would probably be similar if I put him there. I have tried a few different roles other than AP in testing and found anything else just lowered the amount of team goals we got so it’s a bit of a conundrum as we could get less goals but more of them going to the front three but if it’s less overall team goals it mightn’t make much difference. So I’m just going the bulk goal route atm but I definitely think a few adjustments might be required for this system to fully perfect it.

Yes I play him primarily in the BBM role and he’s usually great but on a couple of saves this year he went backwards when he reached his mid twenties. It was on my Augusta save the first time and then this when he just seems to end up stuck at 14 for nearly everything but then I sold him here and he jumped straight back up to the Zaniolo we all know and love. I’ve had him on other saves and he’s been find like my fabled number ten at Juve so strange why sometimes he stalls.

I know what you mean. He did start to go abit stale but he seems to have re adjusted himself and he has improved alot.

Yeah I definitely think I should’ve kept ahold of him on this save Woody but at least I’ll still get a couple of good years at his peak.

Defo. He's a top player.

He would score shed loads as a striker.

[Rob]

@Kanegan did a brilliant 1.5k Strikerless with him. An absolutely phenomenal player.

Foxy Season 9

Nothing of any great note happened last season but this season was better with an improved goal return and much improved assists return as well.

On the pitch we continue to sweep all before us.

Spoiler

Capanni Assists

In season 6 Capanni assisted 43 goals which I was hoping would become the norm for him for a few seasons. It hadn’t quite planned out that way though as the next two seasons he hit 34 both times which is good but not outstanding.

This season I made a tactical tweak and switched how I substitute my players with one striker playing the full 90 and Cappanni coming off for a rest instead of playing full 90s himself and then sitting out a game because his low stamina means he is tired. This policy seems to have yielded some success at least this season as he high hit 49 assists.

I was disappointed not to get 50 but I still think it’s the best assists return I have ever had from a player although I would need to check that.

Season Assists: 49

Career Assists: 251

Spoiler

My goal scoring warriors had a slight improvement in there total goals although Esposito scored a couple less than last year. I don’t think any of them will reach a 1kc in this career because they are all scoring fairly similar amounts to each other. Esposito has the most goals and would be my best hope but I think I’m happy for them all to score at a similar rate especially if my tactic keeps getting so many assists for Capanni.

Brilliant season. Those assists are amazing.

[Woody]

Great improvement mate all round. 

[Ian]

Lovely season for your Italians. It is a bit of a conundrum having four guys when it comes to subs and I’m guessing most of us have probably focused on our strikers. I know I have so credit to you for going for the assists as it’s another battle to be won!

[Kanegan]

Brilliant stuff @Foxy, and @Ian as well. 

On topic of Zaniolo,well he is a top top player and rightly said he scores ton of goals. I managed 1500 goals playing him as a T in strikerless last year.

With Capanni having low stamina it’s simply a way of getting him more minutes a season. He was playing a full 90 and then would need to miss the next game quite often but now he plays an hour or so every game meaning he plays more minutes overall. Luckily my strikers have decent stamina so I can rotate which one plays a full game and keep them all relatively fit the only problem being if another player gets injured and has to come off.

Season 09 - England - Rob

Sitting on 1,080 goals coming in to season 9, we are probably looking at 4 seasons to get the TT, with 3 seasons acting as a stretch target. Every season now is about grinding out more goals and replacing moaners.

Transfers

Nothing much here. Maes is a young Belgian central midfielder who scouted very highly so I snapped him up. Meret on a bosman allowed me to have two top quality goalkeepers to rotate.

Spoiler

Team Performance

We did the league and Champions Cup double, but came runners up in the French and League Cups.

Player Performance

Spoiler

139 more goals in the can, with 28 assists for Harvey. This gives us 1,219 goals and 207 assists in total.

Greenwood has now passed 500 goals and is looking okay for a 1kc assuming I can keep him contracted, happy, and want to play 15+ seasons.

Warrior Standings

This is where we are:

@Woody is spouting out 100+ goals seasons as often as he criticises Steve Bruce, with @Ian maintaining a brilliant seasonal club total. @Foxy is pulling away with the assists and I’ve retained a healthy lead on the goals.

But there is still plenty to play for, so let battle continue!

A bit of a drop in goals this season which must be a worry for you Robert.
