Can they make it back to back? Saka is still at Arsenal despite the long term interest of PSG. Redcafe FC have added a new GK to their ranks with the new England No.1 David Siddall entering the club. He's 21 and already one of the best keepers in the world in terms of raw stats/ability so time will tell if he can make that count on the pitch. Other signings include a mix of oldies and a newgen. Richter is a talented Chilean winger and Thuram, Hickey, Molina and McAteer are all players in that c. 30+ years old zone that add maturity to the squad. Alvarez is another of those weird signings Elstob makes that does nothing but they make profit. Bought for 16m, played 2 games, leaves for 30m. Time will tell if he turns out to be a player.

SR Wilder and Carlos have stuck with their clubs in La Liga despite outside interest. Spurs still maintain their interest in Carlos.

Club is in a good spot. Top of the League again on the 1st January and they're actually 2 points better off than they were last season. Clean sheets have always been hard to come by for the Caf but with the new keeper in they're now leading the clean sheets race with 12 in 20 games. They've also scored the most goals in the league, most shots and least shots against. 2nd in the possession stats too so they're in great form and the team to beat by far. Arsenal are always lurking though...

The Carabao Cup QF curse is back. They lost to Newcastle on penalties. In the CL they're doing well once again in the league phase with 5 wins and 1 draw. One more win would secure Last 16 qualification and avoid the first playoff round. They beat Carlos and his Valencia side 1-0.

Carlos has started the season at Valencia well again. He has 10 goals and 2 assists in 21 games in all comps. Surprised he hasn't been given a Brazil cap yet. Must be nearing. Valencia are 4th and in the CL playoffs.

SR Wilder is the 3rd highest rated player in La Liga so far this season. His Sociedad side are in 6th place. He has 5 goals and 3 assists in 15 La Liga games.​

Your league run was United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and City in the last 5 games. Joke of a fixture list. Last 2 are Leeds and Burnley...
 
Oh god is it happening

I think our rock bottom wages has made this save a bit too easy street for the illustrious owner

They've been upped to 100k this season, but aye, definitely ways to make it harder. It's a shame they've removed dynamic potential from the game.
 
Hopefully @Stobzilla doesn't attempt the squad meeting the game sets as a trap at this point of the season.
 
C’mon guys!

Suggestions to avoid players getting to good to fast aswell would be to use -10 pa instead of 200 and set a cap on determination and proffesionalism. Those 2 stats are the most important for development

I don't think you can do -10 PA anymore. I thought they changed it to potential ranges instead. For example I could give a potential range of 170-200 and when you start the save it will randomly assign a fixed number between that so you could get shafted with 171 / someone could get blessed with 195. I guess that is how -10 worked though anyway? Makes sense in terms of capping the latter two!

Here it is then. The three biggest games in the clubs short history.​
 
I think there are perhaps three options for where the club goes from here.

Option 1 - The game continues as normal with players locked at the club and Alto/Stobs choosing signings and sales each season.

Option 2 - Alto/Stobs choose signings/sales each season as normal BUT I will unlock all players from the club so they're free to move.

Option 3 - I put the remaining of Alto budget into Club Balance, unlock players so they're free to move and let the game run naturally.

What do we think? Spoiler your answer if you could.
