I’ll give @JamesVilla a special bonus only for him.

5 goals per every million spent? That sounds good enough to me ha. 

[George Traistă]

 

As I was saying in the morning, we have some crazy numbers this season.

First: only 2 players didn’t get to 100 miles this season.

Second: 6 out of 6 players got sick with a highly contagious virus called “Rich’s flu”. Let me get the Cambridge Dictionary definition so you know what I'm talking about.

 

I had some symptoms, but I quickly read the rules again after my first Europa League game. Lucky me.

@Kanegan suffered only 5 assists, @geordiekrispy 14, @Albionic and @Chris 7, @JamesVilla 9 and, the worse, @hhooo, with 33 assists. Yes, half of his assists were taken mercifully by Rich’s flu.

 

But even after he lost 33 assists, hhooo still got a monstrous 184 miles getting the most overall miles, the most miles from the players and most miles out of bonus and leaving @broodje kip with a broken hearth. Other players got also good numbers: I got 100, Geordie 119, Chris 108 and Villa 158. The only two players who didn't get over 100 were Kane with 89 and Albionic with 95. And it looks 95 is a magic number for Albionic as he always got something around (94, 100, 95, 105).

And the crazy numbers didn’t finish here, we have some more in the next section… the season bonuses!

1.  This is the biggest number we got so far and it came from @JamesVilla...

Spoiler

 

2. Most league points. Only 1 points shy of the best so far, @hhooo got…

Spoiler

 

 3. Biggest win (margin). @geordiekrispy had the biggest so far with a 10-0. @hhooo got a bigger one and by some goals.

Spoiler

 

4. Highest scoring draw. This bonus has the same winners as last season aka me, @Kanegan and @geordiekrispy

Spoiler

 

5. Least league goals conceded. @Albionic got this one and that means @Chris is the only one who didn’t win a bonus this week.

I need to pull some miles out the bag this year, considering its my last at Madrid really. 

Come on @Rich be nice to me!! 🙏🙏

[Albionic]

184 miles for @hhooo, with 66 assists for his main player! What are you feeding them in Grenoble, particularly impressive having been promoted last season

Great write up George, I feel as if I am being a little bit too defensive at the moment, but its not my fault, its Sottil's because he is awful 😁

I want to know too!!!

Bonus Alert

I really wanted to write boner again. But I stopped myself. So this season is a simple bonus, it’s nothing to do with how you play or how anyone does. I’m willing to give you all 20 miles to start this season but you can only use that 20 miles this season to move clubs. If you don’t move clubs this season. The 20 miles will be lost forever.

Not a very exciting bonus this season, sorry 😂

It can be anytime this season. End of the season is when you get the new season screen

What I mean is, if the job we want comes after all our games (taking the new seasons goals into account) before the new season page, we can use the extra 20 if we need them?

In Spain the season is from 8th of July 2025 to 7th july 2026 so you need to get the move between these dates to use Rich's bonus 

[Rich]

@George Traistă is correct, thank you my assistant.

 

[George Traistă]

Look @JamesVilla

Thank you! I have a feeling I'm going to need this to get across the border before the end of the winter transfer window closes.

[hhooo]

The striker I got for free from Atalanta's reserves was every bit as guilty as my winger. He left in January but scored 53 in 26 games before that. Ended as top scorer in Ligue 1 and the europa league (both by a wide margin) despite only playing half the season. In the Europa group stage I scored 39 and conceded 2, so that was a big source as well. 

Also @George TraistăTraistă if you want to know what they're eating, it's Neymar Wellington, with a nice glass of Chianti after the match.

Can we get the bonus twice? Like, I move in September and then I move again in May 😁

That’s tempting, but I haven’t got enough mileage in the tank to hand out any extra sorry 😂

[broodje kip]

That’s a quite nice piece of bonus 😮

[George Traistă]

Just in case I won't move until January...

I wish the big clubs would offer the actual value of my players

I wish they never offer 😂

On Balanta I did tried to keep them off, I got a 35M min release fee when he was valued at 9. Then when he was valued at 25 I set to 100 but now he doesn't want to sign a new contract as he is upset because I refused 5 or 6 offers in the transfer window from him. 

[George Traistă]

Funk, I forgot that the transfer window is open in England few days earlier that in Spain so Balanta is gone and I need to pick one player from the one I already have.

Wtf is that?! 😂

Can’t believe you got him and never used!

[George Traistă]

But no need of the guy as I'm moving. This was stressful, the job was insecure since December and I needed 9 miles only. Before the Spanish supercup I only needed 2 and I have declared interest. I got my 2 miles in the final after 0-0 in the semis. After the final they sacked the manager and I even played two extra matches but without my boys, they were exhausted after 2 matches full on the field in space of 3 days. I soooo happy. 

 

Route, used 337 out of 337 available

The boys. I had 275 miles + 20 from Rich + 42 from the boys=337!!!

Interesting choices. They looked very poor imo but this is only 2 players. Where’s the other one?

Look closely, there are 3, the 3rd one was the one who left, Balanta.

 

For Lyon I will choose my players tomorrow, hyped!!

The Argentinian will follow me to Lyon! I think he will do a duo with Dembele, kind of old Dembele! 

[geordiekrispy]

Nice move!

There goes one the clubs on my possible route through France though...
