Season 14 start

Newly crowned PL champs Derby have found some money down the back of the sofa and spent £269.5m on 25yo AMR Besmir Mustafi

Champions of Europe Sunderland picked up Samson Modio for 181.5m. He's a 22yo CM/DM.

Sheffield Utd had a fire sale, and even sold their entire U21s and U18s. They used some of the funds to buy 27yo CAM Luca Mortellaro for £126.5m

Carabao Cup winners Bolton plucked for Aussie and ex-Sunderland RB Charlie Sherwood. The 22yo cost £116.5m

That was at the start of last season, your BB has drained since then I guess and you made no sales.

Sheff Utd this summer made over 500m of sales.

Feet up at home.
Relegation would be harsh. Maybe a free pick for us 3 teams of his best players to ease his wage bill would help all parties?

Just made me think, after 14 seasons - where do our owner-sold players go? A random team or what?

First I check if they're 'Wanted' by any other club. If so I move them there.

90% of the time I send them to Saudi.

Forgive the lack of stats, on a smaller screen.



Merry Christmas Bolton fans! Kompany loves a slow start! After losing 3 of their first 4 games, they've not lost in the Prem since. New AI signing Matthias Juric has 11 goals in all comps and owner signing Sherwood has started his Bolton career well.

Sheff Utd close behind and on their own good run. They've only lost once since early October. Their 5ft 1 RB Mota is somehow their top scorer in all comps with 10 goals. New signing Mort has 3 goals in 4 starts (and some sub apps).

Sunderland in 3rd. Wilbur and Griffiths have been providing the goals (13 and 14 in all comps respectively). Samson Modio has started every game and is one of their best performers.

Derby down in 5th but we've seen how quickly things can change! Mustafi has been their outright best player and second best in the league. Endrick only has 5 goals in all comps so far. Their top scorer is actually Alfred. Derby are the only team left in the Carabao. They've made the semis and will play Norwich.

--------------------

All looking good in your CL campaigns so far.

Seriously. If Kompany knew how to start a season he would have a league wrapped up in March. :lol:

We’ve scored 10 more goals than anyone else :lol:

Kompany is a mad genius, who apparently can only get going on week 5.

Considering we were all given £500m to improve out stadiums and only 1 club has used the money for that, I think you might all be dodgy!

Had a quick check and unless there were upgrades done at random stages.

Sheffield United -> 210m, 5.4m, 280m. Tot. 495.4m
Sunderland -> 10.3m. Tot. 10.3m
Derby -> 100m. Tot. 100m
Bolton -> 70m, 50m, 50m. Tot. 170m

Embarrassing from Derby and Bolton. Fraud from Sunderland.

Bolton bought Sepehr Gohardani, a 19yo Iranian CM for 5.5m. They sold Andy Mandanda for £20m.

Sunderland bought Sidney, a 19yo Brazilian AMR (no idea why) for 12.2m

Sheff Utd spent £106m on 20yo Frenchman Diggory Auclair. He can play ST or AML. They also bought 27yo RB/DM Dorielton Marques for £20m.

Derby acquired 55m Sebastian Trella, a 23yo RB/RWB.
