March CL (Gio and Harms are in the Euro Cup SF)

Come on José, bring it home!
 
There is no way I'm still managed by Simeone.
Them tactics in that Semi final was suicide defensively. Full backs always in attack and CBs so disjointed :lol:
 
Congrats @antohan! You finally got the league title!

On a more personal note, at least Gerd Müller's coming on his own, now. Here's hoping he doesn't get transferred over to another side. :nervous:
 
In fairness, @2mufc0 had beat me to my obvious pick but I should be ashamed of this:

feck it, I'll go with the genius. Whatever he decides will be better than what I do.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind but now I see

Damn. Michels went out on a high. Sorta. League title. Champions League the next season. 13th placed finish though…we’ll see what the future brings.
And all the while managing a shower of shite, lest we forget.

Figures it had to be Michels sacking Beckenbauer's sorry ass and undoing your and @Joga Bonito construction of a side around him. Still butthurt from 1974.
 
Congrats @antohan! You finally got the league title!

Thanks.

Only José would stick two fingers up at my drafting shenanigans trying to force certain players on the manager. Seems to have signed the ancient Basora and given a run to unknown quantity Julio César Morales over the young and inexperienced Figo and Simonsen.

Figo and Simonsen were away on NT duty that week. They are your regular starters still
 
Balls, I forgot to upload.

You lost the SF to Dortmund and @Gio beat Dortmund 2-1 in the final which ai believe completes Gio's set of trophies and leaves you as another "always a bridesmaid never the bride" side.
Fitting Trap homage then as the man who won all the continental trophies.
 
You still have your original manager? What sort of sorcery is that?
No he’s long gone - I can’t even keep Fergie tied down. But given the team was built for him it’s fitting to see the players make a European clean sweep like he did.

Of course, you had that Trinity with SAF getting league and CL and -I assume- Stein the Europa?
 
I actually like how, Cruyff aside, all CL-winning managers have got sacked for not getting a double.

Serves you belligerent cnuts right for setting up way too many domestic rivalries and inevitably having a bunch of them ahead in the league :lol:
 
Can’t see the video but assume there’s been some dark arts at play? :lol:

Hello by the way, it’s been a long time.
It's our cameo in that Borat movie that never got released.

I just got Mourinho as my manager. Guess who won the league? :drool:
 
Is MvB really shite in this game or always injured? Never seems to make the scorers list.

Both? If you are always injured you are hardly going to play and develop. A bit harsh that the career injury record applies from the off, but probably works that way.
 
Ready for the final few seasons here.

Looks like my team's going to be perennial strugglers in the league. Sad, but oh well.

Actually...you and @P-Nut are in European contention for the first time and @BeforeKeanetherewasRobson is in the hunt for winning the league along with @simonhch who hasn't won the league.
@RedTiger @Enigma_87 knocked @2mufc0 out of the Champions League in the QF and @Skizzo @Joga Bonito knocked out @antohan

the balance of power might be shifting although @Edgar Allan Pillow @altodevil area always in the top slots and @Gio is still in the hunt to be the first 2nd time CL winner

Netzer and Finney on a free transfer? :lol:

Still never ever get a single player in the League's XI :annoyed:

Haven't started well either. Europe again?

Aren't they old at this point? That could be why they were released, no?

The youngsters are finally coming to their own! Let me guess: was there a managerial change? Also, I'm actually surprised to not see Law, Müller, Dasayev, and Förster anywhere near the top of the various stats. Hopefully that means that we struck a better balance in the side.
 
Fritz Walter must be 30+ by now, can't see Netzer or the suspect temperament Enzo Francescoli ( :mad: ) as like-for-like replacements.

Mourinho loves an oldie.

Mind, Netzer should be younger than Law and ~ the same as Müller. Are you releasing them too then? José will happily take them.

Now that I think about it, you're right, Law's probably the oldie, and those other named players are probably entering their 30s soon.
 
I hear the free transfers are down to strained Board relations. José is adamant he wants Diego Armando Mardona to replace Fritz Walter.

He'll be gone by Christmas.
 
I'd be interested whose picked up the most points in the league overall.
I must be close

Sorry, I can't find this all-time league table in FM2017. If anyone knows how to access it I'll gladly post but I don't have time to add up all the season totals :lol:
 
I have zero faith my boys will hold on to win the league. Probably come 5th and miss CL.

I can take pride that my boys have won the CL and the EL. Just need the league title to complete the trifecta.

@oneniltothearsenal who is my manager now?
