Finally, a trophy for us.

[StuartM]

Oh my word, a pair of 5-0 defeats!

Impatient chairman Stuart M is reported to be giving Klopp a last chance to turn things around in the Champions League before hitting the ejector seat button (Dr Evil's secret lair style).

[Kun Aguero]

5-0 against @StuartM and Top 3, great job Rooney!

[vizardjr]

what a schedule is this? agaisnt Vice City 3 times in a row 😂

[broodje kip]

So out of everyone, we lost to Burnley…

[DanEnglish]

Race for the Title

2nd: Broodje 
Currently in 2nd place, @broodje kip has a potential title-deciding game away vs DanEnglish FC on the last game of the league season!

Just 5 points from top, with three games left. Will Griezmann & co regret that Burnley loss, or can they win it on the final day?!

 
 

3rd: Kun FC 
@Kun Aguero’s rapid rise to 3rd is a great achievement for Rooney + Mbappe’s 433, and now has an easy final three league matches, with no cup distractions!

Will 9 points from their final 3 games be enough to speed ahead into first place?!

 

4th: Azzurri FC
Perhaps the best placed team to overtake the league leaders - if @FrAn4eSc0 can win their game in hand, then they’ll be just 4 points behind the top spot with an extra 4 league games left (5 league games total) - and crucially with similar goal difference!

With a relatively easy next few games, but horrific fixture congestion due to the Euro Cup II - can Bruno Fernandes lead their side to both European AND domestic glory?!

Could be a repeat of Season 1🤔

[DanEnglish]

Cup Finals

In our draft’s final season - who brings home the trophy?! 
 

The FA Cup
A mouthwatering, all-Vibe cup final at Wembley stadium awaits: Silent Reader FC vs Kaizoku Manjikai.

Spoiler

@vizardjr + $100m Jota’s side have had a tough journey, beating KFC Wimbledon in the semis, plus DanEnglish, Vice City AND Kun FC on route.

While @LordArezo + Mane’s side beat Azzurri FC in the semis (on penalties!), with an easier path beating 4 weaker non-Vibe teams (Cardiff, Sheffield United, Bournemouth + Ipswich).

These two team’s last match finished at a 2:1 win to Silent Reader FC recently in the league - but in this Wembley FA Cup final, anything could happen! Who will win the trophy?!

 

European Champions League
Still in the semi-final stages: either Silent Reader FC or Vice City will progress to the final to play either the Italian giants Zebre or DanEnglish FC!

Spoiler

@vizardjr is in the search for an FA  + ECL Cup double - but first needs to overturn a HUGE 4-0 first leg loss. Playing Vice City 3 times consecutively, they also have multiple injured players with no heal bonus - however with the second leg at HOME, fans remain hopeful!

@Victor77 has the chance to retain his ECL trophy after last season’s impressive win! In pole position after that 4-0 first leg win, they need to hold out away from home to ensure their place in the final.

Who will the winner’s final opponents be? Fully rested with a heal bonus in advance of the other semi-final’s first leg, league leaders @DanEnglish are in search for ECL success for the first time, after being convincingly smashed by Vice City in last year’ semi-finals. But can they first beat Italian legends Zebre?!

 

Euro Cups
Both at the semi-final stage, Azzurri FC play Sparta Moscow in the Euro Cup II, while FA Cup finalists Kaizoku Manjikai face Inter in the Euro Cup!

Spoiler

4th placed @FrAn4eSc0 + Bruno Fernandes’ side are currently hunting for a league + cup double - hoping to overtake the league leaders with their game in hand PLUS taste European success in the Euro Cup II.

While in the other Euro Cup, @LordArezo‘s side are also hunting for a double - with fans looking forward to an FA Cup final AND potential European success! 
 

Summary
There is a chance that different Vibe teams win each of the three European Cups, meaning the Vibe teams would have made a clean sweep winning all European AND all domestic competitions this season.

No pressure - right?! 🙂

Good spot. I’ve edited + corrected the post above 👍 

[Kun Aguero]

What an important appointment Rooney is, from 9th place all the way to only 2 points behind 1st. 😄

Congrats @FrAn4eSc0 for winning the league, I guess you should thank me for selling you Sane 😂 What an important signing he is!

@Titjes Thanks for hosting yet another amazing game!

[StuartM]

Great game @Titjes and well done everyone, this has been good fun throughout.

Rumour has it that Town AFC chairman was last seen with his head in his hands chuntering about some terrible transfer choices (Smith Rowe, Gabriel, Odegaard) and bemoaning that despite his $1B outlay, he failed to see a single trophy!

[broodje kip]

Great game as always, @Titjes though I believe you should have let broodje to win a few morw trophies.

[vizardjr]

Good game mate @Titjes

at least i won a trophy 😅

[JamesVilla]

Disappointing finish to the season, really struggled against Vibe teams by the looks of it. 

Great game though, much kudos for setting it up & running it! Thanks Titjes!

[FrAn4eSc0]

A very big thanks to @Titjesfor organising the whole game. I enjoyed that so much and will miss it ! 

Big thanks to @DanEnglishfor his analysis throughout the whole period.

Well done to everyone participated. It was great fun !! 👍 

What I can say .. lol 🙆 We are the Champions !! What a drama... So happy to lift the tittle with the team 🥳 Glad to see that we also won also an European trophy. What e decision to replace Zidane with Don Carlo Ancelotti ! Thanks @Kun Aguerofor Sane who played a massive part for our successful season 👍 Really happy to see that the project with young players and then add a bit of class and experience with Bruno and Sane started 3 years ago finish as I was hoping !! 

Once again that was so much fun 🔝

See you all next time !! 

[DanEnglish]

Some Extra Analysis 🧐 

🎵 Things … can only get BETTER! 🎵 

This shows each players’ league performance in seasons 1, 2 and 3 …

You’ll notice - this league season’s star 🌟 performers are @broodje kip, @Kun Aguero + title winners@FrAn4eSc0

Spoiler

• Each of them finished in the top 5 (3rd, 4th, 5th) in the first season - then bottom 3 (7th, 8th, 9th) in the second season - before bouncing back to finish in the top 4 (1st, 3rd, 4th).
• Why? Why did they drop, then bounce back up? Is it coincidence, or  worse league finishes lead to stronger actions to improve, or is it the lack of / easier Euro competition helps to bounce back up?
• @Kun Aguero probably dropped a little in season 2 due to losing Haaland, then bounced back up with Rooney. But what about the other two teams?!

Plus you’ll notice three teams who rose up, then fall back down …

Spoiler

• @vizardjr, @StuartM + @JamesVilla all finished in the bottom 4 in the first season, rose to the top 4 in the second season, before falling back to 5th, 7th and 9th this last season.
• The points drop between seasons two + three are minor (1-2 points), but the position drop is significant. Staying still => dropping down.
• Why? Why did all three rise then fall back? Was it coincidence, the injuries from extra / harder Euro games, or if you perform better then you don’t improve as much?
• @StuartM improved his squad for season 3 (Haaland + Aarons!), but got slightly fewer points. That suggests it’s the extra / harder European games … ?

 

 
Plus MASSIVE THANKS to @Titjes for spending hours (days? Weeks?!) doing this for all of us. Thank you 🙏

Ah. This ended 3-4 months ago. So you have a few options:

• you could setup your own variant with other Vibe participants,
• do a single-player ‘challenge’ version like <this> (it was quite fun!)
• follow Titjes on Vibe and be ready for any FMM 23 version!

🙂
