FM Experiment Update 2018/2019
1. Cinadine Cidane (Fiorentina)
Another poor season from Fiorentina, slightly improving on last years 7th to 6th but still no champions league football. No extended cup run either but at least they have a crack at the Europa League next season. Cidane again had another great season, top rated player, top scorer and cementing a place in the hearts of the Viola fans by making it into the favoured personnel. He's currently wondering about his future, but seems happy enough to stay.
Random info: Not much news to report this season, a very quiet one for Cinadine.

2. Cw1984 (Manchester United)
A better season for United, finishing in third position. But over 20 points behind the team ahead of them means it looks like the Premier League has become a two horse race. Knocked out early in all competitions the furthest they got was the quarter final of the Europa League, and this prompted a huge change. The much loved Laurent Blanc was given the boot and then the impossible happened. A fat spanish waiter waddled into town and his goatee must have impressed the Glazers as they offered him the job the day after sacking Blanc. He was only in charge for the last 6 matches but it must be said that they went unbeaten in that time, beating permanent champs Arsenal in the process. Is this the start of a Rafalution? And will Rafa be the man to finally bring back trophies to Old Trafford?
CW had a solid season, no injuries meant he played the most games out of anyone and he was also very consistant with only Rooney ahead of him in the ratings stake. 6 goals to his name keep up his record of scoring in every of his professional seasons so far, but you have to wonder that after his brilliant performances at CM for England why he's still stuck at left back for United.
Random Info: CW keeps his place in the Premiership team of the year for the fifth season running.

3. Diver (Arsenal)
Arsenal did it again, again, again and again. It is now the eighth season in a row now that Arsenal have won the league. But this time they also won the Community Shield, League Cup, FA Cup and Champions League. They're pretty damn good and Diver is a huge part of that. Sat at the back stopping the goals going in he is their most capped outfield player this season and his 7 goals is by far his best contribution up the other end. In the air he lost more headers than he won, but on the ground he is a brick wall.
Random Info: Personal accolades are hard to come by for defenders, but he did come third in the player's player of the year award.

4. Hassan Emirati (Juventus)
Juve blew it. After leading Serie A since December they threw the title away. Three losses in their last 4 league games meant they not only lost the league but finished third again! They also lost the Italian Cup final which could partly be blamed for the loss of form at the crucial time. Hassan had a solid season, playing a lot of games and scoring and making more goals than ever before, but it wasn't enough in the end. Juve and Hassan, continue as the nearly men.
Random Info: Hassan will miss out on the Asian Nations Cup due to a rib injury.

5. Alex Hemming (AC Milan)
If losing one game was bad for Milan last season, then this season was calamatous. Finishing fifth and missing out the Champions League is not good enough for an AC team so used to success in recent times. A tropyless season will heap the pressure on current boss Ancelotti and we will see how he responds, goals were the main problem the top scorer (and only player in double figures) was Gourcuff with 14. Hemming was in a more creative mood this season, setting up 8 a personal best, playing at right back he has more freedom to roam forward.
Random Info: Hemming was named Serie A defender of the year and European defender of the year.

6. Jacob (Napoli)
Napoli dropped a couple of places to fourth but keep their spot in the all important Champions League places. Sadly they didn't win a trophy but getting to the semi-finals of both the Champions League and Italian Cup is not a bad return for little Napoli. Jacob's season was more subdued than usual, not even being in the top five players at his club. He still scored 11 goals though so it shows the level we're talking about here.
Random Info: Jacob was in the team of the week twice this season, a personal best!

7. Dennis Law (R. Madrid)
They just can't get past Barca! Again finishing second and again by only a point. It's must be very frustrating for Law who was again majestic. 41 in 53 is ridiculous stuff from the Scot (including 6 against Osasuna in one game), and again he was named World and European player of the year. At the rate he's going he'll beat Raul's goal scoring record in a couple of seasons time! Real did win a trophy though, the Europa League. They were knocked out embarrasingly in the group stages of the Champions League but won the joke version in easy fashion, beating Leverkusen in the final (and Law didn't score in it!).
Random Info: Dennis is now the highest goal scorer in the scottish national teams history and also holds the fastest goal record, 31 seconds against Moldova.

8. Cristiano Lazytov (Chelsea)
The further Chelsea fall down the league the better Lazytov gets! 14th was the best they could muster and it spelt the end of Aguirre and the start og Moyes' reign, but Lazytov didn't mind. His best season yet with 11 goals (Chelsea's top scorer) and 9 assists has earnt the attention of two powerhouses... West Ham and Sunderland. He was also the highest rated player at Chelsea but still can't break into the England squad.
Random Info: His workrate is now 9, i think there may be hope yet!
