So some of your predictions in terms of the amount of miles I will get are going to be a tad off. 
Its been an up and down season (still playing it now), and the squad is still not where I want it to be, but its took me till February to finally get my tactic working how I want it too, with the players available. 

 

Pfff. I say to vote if we kick Villa out of the game 😂

Villa to have biggest loss 😂

I think its fair to say both these predictions are right. 

£691m spent. In one season. It is virtually a new team + a few subs. The Madrid team I took over were POOR. So many aging, average players. Its going to take another £100m or so for me to get the exact squad I'm happy with. 

There's my bonus miles for you! 😂😂😂 A cool £300m loss!

Let's ask the boys! 

The biggest problemight be at @Kanegan as he is in VPL.

4 seasons have past and every time I got the results in around 3 or 4 days. This is not a competitions, is a board game between friends and my proposal is to remove the 1 week deadline and just play.

The moment I got the last results I will make the season write up, Rich will post the bonus and there you go!!

It can happen that maybe few times one player may need maybe more tha one week due to personal issues, just ask for more time, I'm sure everyone will understand.

 

What do you think? Any other suggestions?

Sounds good to me

[JamesVilla]

Yeah there's a few of us in the VPL here to be fair. 

I'm happy to go with what you just suggested, and if anybody needs a few days all they gotta do is just say and I'm presuming we will all be happy to wait? I know I would be, we all have lives outside of FMM.

You, me and Kane. I'm always finish first here and between the fastest also on VPL, so no problem for me.

exactly

[Albionic]

sounds good to me, just start when everyone has finished, and for the bonus as obviously you don't want to start before the bonus is up

I did this stupidity and when Rich posted the bonus I was already on 12th of July so I lost a lot of players that could have brought me bonus miles, I bet I lost 20-30 miles or more! I will never do it again.

[George Traistă]

Let us begin with the elephant in the room, with the big bonus that @JamesVilla got this weekend… minus 150 miles!! I’m joking, sadly Rich didn’t make the bonus to produce negative results so lucky Villa got a bonus of 0. But he got plenty of miles, 124. Isak didn’t get the best results and we hope he will continue this way!

Villa was not the only one to spend more than he sold, @Kanegan also got 0 miles bonus this season after he spent 4.1M more than he sold. And I think he will think twice next season as he got “only” 91 miles this season.

All other got something from Rich’s bonus: @Chris got 27 miles bonus bringing his total up to 120; @geordiekrispy got 12 miles bonus and 93 overall; I got a whooping 61 miles bonus getting me a big 147 miles overall; @Albionic made 50/50 from his total of 105 miles, 52 from the players and 53 from the bonus so Rich was by far his best striker; and @hhooo got himself 52 miles out of the bonus and earned a total of 156 miles this season making him the best earner.

Spoiler

Bonus miles

 

As for the trophies, there were some surprises: @JamesVilla only won the league; @geordiekrispy was the best at picking up silverware getting 3 trophies out of 4, only losing only the DFB Supercup; and me and @hhooo, the second division boys, we got the league and the cup! @Kanegan had the same results as me and hhooo and @Chris and @Albionic only won the league. Enough points if you’re thinking that everyone got a new team.

Spoiler

 

The season bonuses…. Spoiler, I got the draw bonus again!

1. Most expensive player sold. I think this one was the easiest to predict, when you are Real, you can buy big  and you also can sell big.

Spoiler

 

2. Most league points. I didn’t see this coming, I was 100% sure that this one will be between me and @hhooo, but no, is….

Spoiler

 

 3. Biggest win (margin). @Chris scored the most goals in a game winning against Olympique Marseille with 9-2, sadly wasn’t enough, @hhooo got this one.... show them Chris, show them how you lost this bonus 🤣

Spoiler

 

4. Highest scoring draw. Last season the biggest win was awarded to 3 players, this season there are 3 players for this bonus: me, @Kanegan and @geordiekrispy.

Spoiler

 

5. Least league goals conceded. After he missed this one two weeks in a row, @geordiekrispy is back on top with another great defense.

Spoiler

 

Owned clubs

Spoiler

 

George Traista: Zaragoza, Girona

Kanegan: Paderborn, Standard Liege

Geordiekrispy: FC Copenhagen, Hamburg

Hhooo: Atalanta, Greoble

Chris: Ajax, Lille           

JamesVilla: FC Porto, Real Madrid

Albionic: AS Roma, Fiorentina

 

 

The board

 

This season brought back some equilibrium and Geordie is now on the first place alongside Villa; 3 points behind them is another couple: Albionic and hhooo; Chris is keeping tight with 12 points and, if you squeeze your eyes, you will see two dots somewhere behind, it’s me and Kane.

 

@Rich will post the season shortly (if he didn’t fell asleep). 🤣

Bad luck to everyone!!

[JamesVilla]

Some good results there folks! 

To put my miles into context, it was goals only. Isak only scored 28 which shows how dominate the other two were. 

@Rich can we make this bonus abit nicer for me please mate? There's a kebab in it this time for you? 

[hhooo]

How many players in and out for you @George Traistă? My players or went for an average of 950k each with 54 players sold, and about half of them were at the club less than 3 days, being picked up on free transfers and sold immediately. 

Also thanks to @geordiekrispyfor inspiring me to go for the cup. I had fun designing a defensive tactic to play on the break, and I needed it to get past Monaco and Marseille in the later rounds.

I've sold 45 player, and the biggest sell was 23M, it was a player that I had already in the team and was a surprise as his value was around 9M and Lens pay the min release fee. I still have 6-7 players that I couldn't sell 🤣

My bad was that I didn't wait the bonus, so so stupid.

Yeah I had a few that I had been trying to sell since last January. When I arrived they were valued at 2-3 million, agreed a fee, but they rejected all the offers and now they're leaving on bosmans and acting surprised that they never saw the pitch this season. Losers.

jesus

Great write up George! I wonder what Rich's bonus will be...

Also of my goal miles, I think about 75% came from Vlahovic, Sottil was not good.

[Rich]

*Boner Alert*

A player of your choosing will have all there League Assists count as 1 mile, this player can already be at the club or can be bought. You will need to screenshot this player on the day of your first league game of the season and post in here, as I want to see who mostly, as I’m nosey and plus it means you can’t pick after you seen who’s had most assists.Then you send his history in to @George Traistăat the end of the season.

Ooooh interesting. Can the player be one of your chosen three? 

[hhooo]

Finally a boner that I don't have any questions about!

My pick for assists;

[geordiekrispy]

I think I'm screwed as my players generally don't get assists, they seem to fashion chances out themselves.

[George Traistă]

I got my player

Looks very much abusive. Totally unfair, I disagree with this.

[hhooo]

I can't decide between these two for my assister. Older guy who will be able to play more matches or younger guy who will improve and already has a few better technicals. 

 

Anyone care to weigh in? 

 

Also, my star striker was minutes away from being pried away from me via release clause, because he wanted 75k a week and a 2m signing bonus, and 100k a week and 1m bonus was just not an acceptable replacement. Need to get the guy a financial advisor for Christmas. The team he wanted to go to pays their players like 3k a week maximum 🤔

 

But we got him tied down again for 90k + 1m (by giving him another release clause).

Personally I'd pick the younger guy.

But it depends where you're playing them, as a winger or an AMC.
