FM Experiment Update 2020/2021
1. Cinadine Cidane (Fiorentina Transferred to Real Madrid)
It seems Cinadine became sick of sitting in 6th place with Fiorentina every year and before the 20/21 season began, Real Madrid bought him for a massive £61m. Cinadine had a mixed season after arriving. He won the La Liga with Madrid, however after reaching both finals of the Spanish and Super Cup, they lost both. He scored 18 goals in 51 appearances, with 11 assists. Still, a first ever league title will please him and he will look to push on from here.

2. Cw1984 (Manchester United Transferred to Barcelona)
Manchester United were not doing very well in the league at all. cw1984 decided enough was enough and jumped ship to Barcelona in a £58m January move. It seems he was right to do so as well, as United finished in a terrible 10th place. Barcelona didn't actually win anything, but cw settled in fine, playing 21 games and scoring 3 times. Perhaps a full season with Barcelona will see them win La Liga next year.

3. Diver (Arsenal)
Diver seems to have been molded into a defensive midfielder by Arsenal now. Again he played the majority of his games in CM alongside Fabregas. However for once, Arsenal didn't win the Premiership. Man City won it this year by 6 points. Personally for Diver though it was still a good season, he played 46 times, bagging four goals. He also won another FA Cup and carling Cup double with Arsenal, bringing his winning medal total to 23.

4. Hassan Emirati (Juventus)
Ah Juventus, always the nearly men. Would it be the same this year? Actually...no it wasn't. Juventus seem to have finally got it together, Hassan was a big part of a Juve squad that won Serie A, The Italian Cup and The Champions League. Hassan played 51 times throughout the season, scoring 8 times, an improvement on his last tally but he could still improve that aspect of his game.

5. Alex Hemming (AC Milan)
AC finished 3rd in Serie A this season but there was consolation as AC won the Europa League. Now they are back in the Champions League they should look to stay there now. Hemming himself though had another solid but unspectacular season. He played 40 games during the season, was in the 2021 World Team of The Year, and the Serie A Team of The Year too. It seems Hemming may have to move away from AC to realize his league trophy aspirations. However at the moment he seems content at the club.

6. Jacob (Napoli)
No Champions League win this year for Jacob at Napoli, they got knocked out in the quarters. They did however improve their league position, finishing second. Jacob played in 45 games, scoring 14 times from attacking midfield. He won the Club World Championship and the European Super Cup. Jacob has been at napoli for eight years now and shows no signs of leaving, will he finish his career there? He is already amongst Napoli's favoured personel and could possibly become a club legend.

7. Dennis Law (R. Madrid)
What else is there to say about Law? Tearing it up once again in Spain, he bagged 48 goals in 54 appearances which is insane. He once again swept the awards, getting in the La Liga Team Of The Season, winning top goalscorer, Champions League golden boot, Champions League dream team, and World Player Of The Year. He won the La Liga with Madrid too. His trophy cabinet must be bursting.

8. Cristiano Lazytov (Man City Transferred to Juventus)
Lazytov didn't stay at City for long, oh no. He saw Juventus were having a fantastic season and in January 2021 promptly jumped ship for the 5th time in his career to The Old Lady to see if he could grab himself some medals for doing mostly nothing. For the rest of the season Lazytov was, well, lazy. He made 13 appearances in 5 months, getting 5 goals. He didn't actually get a medal for any of Juve's achievements though, so he hasn't won a trophy for 6 years now.

9. Legold Legster (Real Madrid)
Any goals this season for Legster? No not really. A solitary goal in the cup was all he got. Only 37 games for Legster this season, as a broken ankle in March ruled him out for a rest of the season. He has just recovered from the injury but is severley lacking in match fitness. A nice rest for Legster methinks. He's also the Serbia vice-captain.

10. Karan Mittal (Chelsea)
Still at Chelsea, Mittal had another fine season, playing 49 times, scoring 18 goals. Unfortunately the recently improved Chelsea didn't win anything, finishing 3rd in the league. He seems to be more settled at Chelsea now after wanting out before, he is now happy at the club. Maybe he thinks they're on their way back to the top.

11. Rasmus Nilsson (Bayern Munich)
Bayern won the league back from Leverkusen this season and Nilsson was much improved from his poor last season. An average of 7.21 from 37 appearances, scoring 12 goals. Nothing much else to report on Nilsson's front. Oh he won the German Cup too. Is it too easy for Nilsson now? Maybe he needs a new challenge. He seems happy there though, him and PSmith have a bit of a bromance going on.

12. niMic (Lyon Transferred to Real Madrid)
Madrid seems to be the place to be. NiMic left Lyon for sunny Spain in the summer of 2020. He won the La Liga there, playing 47 games and scoring 10 goals. He tore his calf muscle at the end of the season so it's a summer of rest for poor niMic.

13. Alwyn Payne (Juventus)
A 7.37 average this year for Alwyn. He played. 51 times, scoring 17 for Juve. He won the treble, scoring in the penalty shootout of the Champions League Final and was offered a new contract, but he wants a new challenge. At the moment he's considering his options but will he stay after achieving all he can at Juve?

14. Paz (Juventus)
Paz was another member of the treble winning Juve side. He made 49 appearances but only got 6 goals. Paz doesn't get many though, 6 goals was his best return for 3 years. 23 assists though, he does his job as a RM well.

15. Psmith (FC Bayern)
PSmith won the league with Bayern and continued his bromance with Nilsson. He had an average rating of 7.83, unreal. PSmith got 26 goals in 38 appearances. He is 5 goals away from 350 for his entire career, and wasnamed in the world team of the year.

16. Chris Searl (Inter)
Inter finished a dissapointing 4th this year after winning Serie A the year before. Searl only had two injuries for the whole season, none too serious, a twisted knee and a facial injury. He played 46 times, scoring 12 goals from his positon from midfield. He is happy at the club.

17. Shorty Phelan (Juventus)
Shorty had a brilliant season. Not only because of Juve winning the treble, but also personally. He scored an amazing 48 goals in 52 games for Juve, along with 22 assists. He scored in the Champions League Final to take the game to penalties, and scored his penalty in the shootout as Juve marched to victory. He finished top goalscorer in Serie A.

18. Ubor Skolskov (Juventus)
Ubor had a good season too. Winning the treble obviously counted towards that, but Uber also scored the winning penalty in the final of the Italian Cup which went to a shootout. He made 49 appearances, netting 5 goals from DM. He has just signed a new contract keeping him at Juventus til 2026.

19. Sam Stock (Inter)
Sam didn't really improve much this season, he scored 18 goals and got 15 assists. One less goal than last season but 3 more assists. He played 51 times for his club though, playing RW next to teammate Searl, and played well. Playing on the wing it seems a decent return of goals however. Sam won the Serie A Foreign Player of The Yea award, pipping Jacob to first place. He is currently tutoring a young striker named Lodi

20. Flawless Thaw (Barcelona)
Flawless continued to make Barcelona tick. Playing in 45 games for them, netting ten goals, he contributed greatly to their season. Barcelona came away empty handed however. Thaw won an individual award though, for best goal in the Champions League, a curling effort from 25 yards. Thaw has welcomed cw's arrival and thinks he is an important part of the team.

21. Walrus (Arsenal)
Another good season for Walrus, two trophies, though no Premiership. He scored 33 goals in 47 appearances and by his standards he can do better. Walrus was named the 20/21 English Footballer Of The Year, and was the top goalscorer in the Premiership for the fourth year running. It seems he really has the beating of the league, and as a result he is currently considering his options which might suggest he is looking to move away from Arsenal after 9 years there.

22. Ed Weatherall (Arsenal)
59 games for Ed this season, keeping 35 clean sheets. He was named the 19/20 European Goalkeeper of The Year, and the 2021 World Team Of The Year. Unfortunately his goalkeeping heroics couldnt help Arsenal win the league again, as City took the crown. Weatherall seems comfortable at Arsenal though and seems to have finally found his home after a slow start to his career.

23. George Worst (Arsenal)
More assists for George this season, 21 in 53 appearances for The Gooners. He netted 19 goals and won the FA Cup and League Cup. He was placed 3rd in the English Footballer of the year.
