At this point where we’re the best club in the world it may be interesting to see how players will fare in a different environment

Nice one everyone!
Sounds good. Will provide an end of season update tomorrow then and we can go ahead with option 2.
I like the idea of running option 3 anyway to see how different it turns out so after I run option 2 and the save ends, I will also run option 3 from the save point and sim 10ish years into future and give a mini update of that!

Option 4 not tenable?
Don't think FCUoM are even in the database due to being in the lower pyramid and not achieving VNN status.
Did we all retire?
Is this the winter break?
Sorry lads, been swamped with work and stuff on the weekends recently. Should be able to get back to it on Monday.
Nah all good mate just checking all is okSorry lads, been swamped with work and stuff on the weekends recently. Should be able to get back to it on Monday.

The Club
Your treble winners. Redcafe FC. What a season for the boys! They didn't play the crème de la crème in the final of the FA Cup or CL Final but who the feck cares about that. They did it. All players are now entering their prime and they began that journey in style. Defence was a real problem for the club in the seasons before now but they finally clinched the most clean sheets in the league and were very close to the least goals conceded. Only 30 in total which nearly beat the marker set by Arsenal who obtained 28. They scored the most, had the most shots, had the least shots against and had the joint highest avg possession. Not only have they won the treble but they've also completed the difficult task of gaining back to back titles! Kudos.
The Manager
@Stobzilla
A treble winning manager! Has that tactical change early on in his career helped him not only avoid the sack by the chairman but also lead the side to ultimate glory? Perhaps so. I am surprised that none of his stats are 20 yet but he's getting there. He's now enjoying his time at Redcafe FC which is good as in the past few seasons he believed the club didn't match his ambitions. He may want to stick around and create a dynasty. He once again won the PL MOTY and added the Community Shield to his honours list at the start of the season. He's also now in the English Hall of Fame. What more can the main man do?

Redcafe FC Players
@hobbers
A top season from the big Scot. 26 goals in the league to win the golden boot. He made sure of that by smashing in a hat trick in the final game against Burnley. He teased Sesko all season and then pipped him to that honour on the last day. He also reached a world class total of 40 goals in 53 games overall including 9 in the Champions League meaning that he also achieved the CL Golden Boot! I imagine that will be enough for him to gain the European Golden Boot but we will have to see when the save moves on a bit. He has a Euros to try and win for Scotland after all! He thinks Seb Sheep is a vital part of the team.
@The Cat
Catman really said hold my beer because i'm going to make sure the club wins the treble this season. Wowzer. 21 goals and 25 assists in all competitions and a 17 goal/16 assist PL season. He might have that Henry 02-03 season in his eyesight as a target for next year. He won the English Players' POTY and the English Footballer of the Year to break the Saka dominance in that regard but he did get beat to the most MOTM awards by Saka who won with 13 to Catman with 12. He still thinks Seb Sheep is a vital part of the team. Next on the horizon for Cat is the Euros with Wales. They have Ireland, Switzerland and Ukraine in the group stage so they should be looking to progress from that.
@Heine
If it weren't for Catman, Heine would be up there as the stand-out winger in the league. 20 goals and 14 assists in all competitions and 14 goals and 8 assists in the league. He is still putting in the numbers and has a top rating, with a 7.89 rating which was the second highest in the league after Catman. He won the award for the best goal in the Champions League. A 22 yard strike against Real Madrid in the Semi-Final so there's that for him! His Dutch side have Croatia, Norway and Slovakia in the Euros which is a tricky draw but they should get through that. He still thinks Seb Sheep is a vital part of the team.
@sebsheep
A good season by Sebby. A double digit season in terms of goals and assists in all comps with 14 goals and 10 assists in 54 appearances. He was named the England POTY in 2031 and named in the Seasonal Eleven for his club, country and the league. An all round midfielder with barely any weakness and capable of playing in any position and with any other player. What's next on the tick list for Seb? 50 goals for Redcafe? Winning an International Tournament? Winning an Individual award? He thinks Thuram is a vital member of the team. His England side are in a group with Portugal, Denmark and Romania which isn't too difficult. They should get through with at least 2nd place.
@Solius
I can't fully remember but I think that's another season where Sol beats Seb on goals and assists in total? He almost hit 30 overall but didn't quite score as many as he would perhaps have hoped to. 14 assists though from CM is a good achievement and it was only Catman who was ahead of him in terms of the PL. He's considered the key player for Brazil at this point and he's probably hoping to do better on that front in his career as they've underwhelmed on the International stage. They have an easy Copa group (Bolivia, Peru and Curacao) so it's time to step up and do some damage. He thinks Seb Sheep is a vital part of the team.
@harms
Harry lad. 21 yellow cards in all competitions and 16 in the PL to top the metrics once again. A bit of an underwhelming CL campagin but he did well in all other competitions. Slightly underperformed his xG in the league and all comps but overperformed in the xA metric. His job is to keep things basic though for the side and tactically foul while Seb and Sol get the plaudits. Every team needs a Harry Tackles though which is why he's now a mainstay in the England squad. He should be starting too with Declan Rice moved back into CB to accomodate for him. I feel a bit bad for him too as he is always overlooked for the TOTY because of the formation. He's also a big fan of Seb Sheep.

@TheReligion
Almost 30 goal contributions in all competitions for Carlos! He's finally making his potential count. He is almost in contention for La Liga top scorer as he nabbed 17 goals with Roque earning that title with 20 goals in total. His Valencia side finished 4th in the league so they'll once again be in the Champions League but the question is, will Carlos stay? He has interest from Tottenham and...Redcafe FC... I'm interested to see how Redcafe would play him if that signing went ahead as they don't use a CAM and Hobbers will play if he's available so it could be another club to rot on the bench. We will see. He has been called up the Brazil squad so is in line to make his first International appearance.
@Enigma_87
A great season by SR WIlder who wins the La Liga POTY after racking up an impressive 12 goals and 6 assists from out wide and an average rating of 7.77. He was probably the difference between his Sociedad side finishing in the EL spots and them managing to get 5th place and a CL spot so well done to the Bulgarian who will likely get his first taste of European action next season. Well deserved! Despite his best efforts his Bulgarian side are crap so they won't be involved in the Euros this year. Who knows what can happen in the future though and if they get a lucky WCQ group he could make an International tournament appearance one day. He wants to be captain of Sociedad one day.

@altodevil @Stobzilla The squad. As said before, all players will be transfer unlocked from now on so free to move on! Let me know who you want to sign and sell.
Finally I'll get a salary bump.
Cheers SW!
Cheers SW!
Awesome stuff.
I'm interested to see what happens in terms of your values and your wages!
Weird... I don't see "Req" next to my name.
Will be interesting to see what happens now, I bet the a lot of us will be on shortlists in PSG/Barca/Real
Just waiting for @altodevil to tell me who he wants to sign. You are free to give him a gentle nudge.

Updated transfer values now. I'm surprised by Seb and Heine Ken being values so low actually. Not sure why that's the case. The club are predicted to win the title again. 15-8 favourites with Arsenal 2nd as a 7-2 favourite for the league. Hobbers, Solinho and Sheep are in the Dream Eleven for the PL. The chairman has decided not to sign anyone this summer and instead is trusting the manager to make the right calls with the transfer kitty that he's boosted to a whopping 250m.
Oh, yeah, Seb Sheep has requested a transfer. More to follow in terms of how that plays out because he has no club interested in him currently...

Harry Tackles is unhappy and wants a new deal at the club.
I'm going to sim to deadline day. Still no interest in @sebsheep . Will see what happens but I think what I said to @Solius and @altodevil when he handed in a request was that he'd be sold to any interested party but if not alto can choose where to send you. Do you still want that fate @sebsheep ?
