2013/2014 Season Update #3

niMic (Sevilla)

niMic seems to be steadily improving, this season a improvement on the last. In 41 appearances (37 starts) he contributed 7 goals and 7 assists to Sevilla, who finished 5th in the Primera, and also enjoyed a decent run in the UEFA cup until they were eliminated in the 2nd Knockout Round by Legold Legster’s Stuttgart. He’s become an important player for Sevilla and ousted Jesus Navas from the team.

Although he’s happy to have signed a new contract with Sevilla, it has a minimum release clause of £17.25m so wouldn’t be a surprise to see him move.

Lately niMic has emerged as a goalscoring winger for Norway, and has 6 goals in his last six international appearances, taking him up 8 goals from 24 Caps. These six goals came from a hat trick vs Luxumbourg, a cheeky goal against Liechtenstein, and goals against Bosnia and Portugal.

niMic

Alwyn Payne (Juventus)

Very successful treble winning season for Juventus and Alwyn played a major role. Unfortunately he missed out on the Champions League final victory over Chelsea due to fractured ribs, but made 44 appearances this season, 40 starts. Only thing lacking from Alwyn’s game is goals, only managing two this season, but he excels in most areas, especially in passing, and 87% pass completion rate, or 1605 completed out of 1833 attempted. He’s formed a powerful midfield partnership with Ubor Skolskov, and has recently signed a new contract worth £115,000 a week.

Alwyn Payne

Paz (Newcastle)

In this game the Geordies unfortunately went unrelegated and have been lurking around the UEFA Cup places the past few seasons under a smarmy wanker named Paul Ince. Paz has become a regular in their team, and started 46 games this season, scoring 6 goals and creating another 9.

In truth Paz hasn’t be one of Newcastle’s more consistant performers though, and an average rating of 6.62 is amongst the lowest in the squad. His passing has been erratic, and an average of 7km run per match isn’t too impressive. Brazilian striker Guilherme seems to be carrying this side, scoring 32 goals, only Eden Hazard coming close to this with 11.

But Paz has been brilliant for England, suggesting a bigger stage and challenge could be in order. He’s at his creative best for England, and has created five goals in five appearances this season for England. On the international stage he seems to formed a very effective partnership with cw1984 on England’s left flank.

Paz

Psmith (FC Bayern Munich)

Like Nilsson, Psmith ditched relegated Hull to remain in top flight football. He’s since taken the Bundesliga by storm following a £9.5m move to champions Bayern Munich, and in 50 starts has scored 24 goals (No penalties). His devastating partnership with Roque Santa Cruz (Who scored 22 goals himself) fired Bayern Munich to another title, finishing seven points above HSV. 15 times he was declared Man of the Match. He’s already been rewarded with an improved contract during his first season, and now earns £86,000 a week.

But some critics might say he’s the kind of striker who’ll need 4 or 5 chances before he’ll score. Those 24 goals came from 134 attempts. But there is some creativity to his game, and he proved this mainly in Europe where he assisted more goals than he scored. This included setting up a vital away goal that put Bayern past the 1st Knockout Round at the expense of Manchester United, a man of the match performance (You twat!)

This creativity and solid team ethic has been a feature in his international career as well, and he seems quite willing to pass opportunities onto his teammates.

Psmith

Chris Searl (Inter)

As part of the Inter side dethroned in Serie A by a glorious Juventus side boasting the likes of Ubor Skolskov (And Alwyn, and Hassan Emirati), Searl has some reason to be disappointed with his season. But he was one of the most creative midfielders in the Italian top flight, second only to Christian Jidayi for assists (10 for Searl, 11 for Jidayi). He chipped in with 5 goals as well, and ended up with an 88% pass completion rate. His midfield partnership with Flawless Thaw and Esteban Cambiasso looks quite fearsome, and suggests Inter’s problems lie elsewhere.

Predictably, Searl is key player for Canada but they narrowly missed out on qualifying for the World Cup, losing out to Honduras and Guatemala in their qualifying group.

Chris Searl

Shorty Phelan (Southampton)

Phelan finally made his way into the Premiership, signed for £6m by a Southampton team who’ve cemented a comfortable spot mid table, looking to sneak into European contention. Signing Phelan was a good forward for them, and in his debut season he scored 13 goals, second highest scorer in the squad behind Eugene Seleznyov (Who finished joint top scorer in the Premiership with Newcastle’s Guilherme. 20 goals each).

Room for improvement though. He needed 115 shots on goal to score those 13, and only managed to win 77 headers out of 206 despite being 6’1”. Air of a mini-Peter Crouch about him. Could benefit from playing a slightly withdrawn role rather than as an out and out striker as he has been, but his partnership with Seleznyov is definitely something Southampton has going for them and hopefully Phelan will improve even more.

Still not made his full debut for England, but now has an impressive 9 goals from 12 U21 appearances.

Shorty Phelan

Ubor Skolskov (Juventus)

Important member of Juventus’ treble winning team, Skolskov made 53 appearances in all, scoring 11 goals and creating 13. Much of his best work came in the Champions League, where he scored five of his goals. This included an important away goal against Bayern Munich in the semi-finals, this proving to be the difference between the two teams. Although for a moment it seemed like his season would end in disappointment after a missed penalty in the decisive shoot-out against Chelsea, Juve ended up as European Champions.

Ubor Skolskov

Sam Stock (West Ham)

Stock’s career at West Ham appears to be coming to an end after three seasons at the club, with many of Europe’s top clubs (Man Utd, R. Madrid, Inter and Fiorentina) taking a keen interest in the player, and the player taking a keen interest in Europe’s top clubs. His public desires for a move have relegated him a lesser role in West Ham’s squad, and this season he made on 14 appearances for the club as they finished 13th in the Premiership. His goalscoring quality is well evidenced though, despite limited opportunities he managed 8 goals from 24 attempts. A big favourite of the West Ham crowd despite his wantaway attitude, he was voted their player of the season.

Stock has produced an enviable international record for England, now standing at 11 goals from 15 appearances. Granted, 5 of those goals came in a 10-0 annihilation of Andorra, but he’s a very promising young striker and it’ll be interesting to see him at an elite club.

Sam Stock
 
2013/2014 Season Update #4

Flawless Thaw (Inter)

Flawless Thaw is the water carrier in the Nerazzurri’s midfield, working hard to make the lives of Cambiasso and Searl a little bit easier. He’d be the English Rino Gattuso, but Thaw has definite quality in possession, and although he finished the season without scoring, he served up 9 goals for his teammates. He’s also improved his defensive play and found himself with just 4 bookings for the season, in stark contrast to the 13 bookings he received previously. Although he did get his first marching orders this season.

For England though he has a more attacking role, playing on the right of midfield, and here he has further proven his quality in the attacking third. In 9 international appearances he’s scored 3 goals.

Flawless Thaw

Walrus (Arsenal)

For his second season at Arsenal Walrus didn’t quite match his excellent debut season, but still finished up with 9 goals and an assist for 34 appearances. The highlight of his season personally perhaps scoring the winner against Manchester United at the Emirates (You twat!).

Arsenal are an excellent team with many sources of goals. Manager Van Basten seems quite sweet on Walrus. The likes of Vela, Van Persie and Eduardo are all below him in the pecking order, although none of them are doing too badly (Each scoring more goals in fewer appearances, Van Persie scoring 10 goals in 10 Premiership starts for example). So we should see Walrus developing well at Arsenal since they’re putting a lot of faith in him, and he already has some pretty impressive stats.

He’s managed to get himself sent off twice though, sounds like he could be developing into a typical Arsenal cnut!

Walrus

Ed Weatherall (Q.P.R)

Ed didn’t manage to break into the Spurs first team, and was sold to newly promoted Q.P.R for £3.2m. Unfortunately for Ed, Q.P.R turned out to be the whipping boys for the Premiership, finishing bottom of the table with 24 points. Not the worst possible outing for a bottom placed team, but as their # 1 Ed found himself conceding 73 goals from 43 games, keeping only 8 clean sheets. But only 12 mistakes for the season, none of which led directly to goals, so no Reina-esque spaz ups at least.

Not too loyal a character, Ed. Q.P.R are heading back to the Championship and he’s handed in his transfer request nice and early. Currently there are no teams interested, but the transfer window is only young.

Ed Weatherall

George Worst (AC Milan)

As previously reported, AC Milan took a keen interest in George, and indeed they ended up paying £23m to Hertha for his signature. Unfortunately he finds himself in a similar position to Rasmus Nilsson at Spurs, a left winger signed for a club who aren’t using wingers. Only at Milan they have Kaka and Gourcuff to play AMC so he can’t even get games in those positions.

Only 8 starts this season for Worst, all of them out of position, but he’s looked a pretty tidy player. No goals, but three assists. Notably he has an 84% pass completion, or 265 successful passes out of 315. Not to be sniffed at. He also look pretty decent in the air and a hard worker, running on average 8.5km a game.

No signs of unhappiness at Milan despite his lack of time on the pitch. Perhaps because they’re paying him £125,000 a week. AC Milan have finished 3rd in the league. Ancelotti is still at the club, it doesn’t look like he’ll be leaving anytime soon and maybe this doesn’t bode well for George’s development.

George Worst

Anyone want any specific information/screenshots let me know and I'll sort it out.

The World Cup is coming up in the game, but there seems to be a bug where only a few Caftard players make squads for the finals, despite being international regulars beforehand.
 
Firstly, why the heck is Lazytov's number 1? :wenger:

Highest valued player, highest average rating, most MOTMs :cool:

How the feck did I not win World player of the year?

Btw good work Uber.
 
I'm chuffed at being captain of West Brom, but surely one of the bigger boys could pick me up? Who's dick have i got to suck to get a move here?

Oh and a quick question for you Mr Uber sir, has it been a major international tourney yet? Just wondering if any of us are going to set the world alight on the biggest stage.
 
Some of us have ridiculous attributes for 20-year olds.
 
I was going to do the update after the 2014 World Cup, but going that far erases the seasons stats. But anyway there seems to be a bug of some sort where we aren't getting called into the teams for the finals, despite playing in every qualifying game/friendly prior to them. When I first ran the World Cup, only Alwyn, Jacob and R. Nilsson took part for their teams.

Scotland, UAE and Ireland all qualified for the World Cup thanks largely to Law, Emirati and Cidane. But all of them missed out on the finals.

I'll run the World Cup later and do a quick update for those who are involved
 
superb update mate....well done!!
meh Newcastle...i'm a celebrity get me OUT of here!! :mad:
 
Christ, we're tearing it up at Juventus. Treble!

Plus, in 44 appearances in central midfield, I wasn't fouled once. I'm a fecking hard cnut.
 
UAE qualified for the World Cup? It must have been because of me, we're rubbish!
 
As I said I have to run through the World Cup again, but I ran through it once before I had to revert back to the original save. England were a bit shit, and got knocked out by Uruguay in the first knockout round. But as I said, only Alwyn actually made it into their team, even though Diver and cw1984 and Paz and Stock etc... had all been regulars beforehand.

Ultimately Argentina beat host nation Brazil in the final, 3-2.

Could all be different next time though!

Click to expand...

Big game player, me? :lol:

Great update, by the way.
 
Scotland:

World Footballer of the Year Dennis Law missed out on Scotland’s squad for the final, in spite of the 7 goals he’d scored in their qualifying campaign. Instead, Craig Burley opted for Law’s backup at Aston Villa, Gary Glen, to spearhead their attack along with John Fleck and Kenny Bryce.

A comfortable 2-0 victory over Ghana, with Fleck scoring twice, created some early optimism, which was increased by a respectable 0-0 draw with defending world champions Italy. By dispatching Peru 3-1 they came through their group undefeated.

But France would prove too powerful in the knockout stage, Gabriel Obertan the best player on the pitch as France waltzed to a 2-0 win.

England:

Plenty of concern around England at the start of the tournament, having dropped many of their star performers for their World Cup squad. Diver, cw1984, Paz, Flawless Thaw, Sam Stock and Walrus – all of them missed the trip to Brazil. Only Alwyn Payne could be contented with a role starting from the bench.
But England’s campaign kicked off with a 7-0 trouncing of Paraguay, James Vaughn grabbing a hat trick. Alwyn got on the pitch for the final 20 minutes but the game had slowed to a crawl and he got only a few touches on the ball.

But Alwyn would start England’s next group match against Germany. But he couldn’t take control of this match against this classy opposition, and England would slump to a 1-0 defeat. Along with Ashley Young and Stevie Me, Alwyn tried his best to get in amongst the Germans and ran almost 11km in the match. He won all four of his tackles and forced their keeper into a good save, misplacing only 11 passes out of 47.

England could respond to this loss by taking on lowly Guatemala. Alwyn made his second start of the tournament and produced a good performance, 7.9 rating, and he produced a nice pass for Theo Walcott to tuck away.
For the knockout Round England were up against Portugal, and Alwyn again started. Much of England’s play went straight through him and he found himself on the ball often, attempting 49 passes (39 successful). But Ashley Young and Michael Carrick stole the headlines, scoring the two goals that put England into the next round.

England succumb to a 1-0 loss to Italy in the next round, but Alwyn was the best player on the pitch, picking up man of the match. He ran nearly 10km and put in 8 tackles, winning seven and also made 6 interceptions to break up the Italians game. Again, England relied on him to control their play, and he produced 61 accurate passes out of 68. Serie A obviously put him a good position to take on Italy, but ultimately his teammate at Juventus, David Lanzafame, scored the decisive goal and England’s campaign ended.


Sweden:

Both Rasmus Nilsson and Jacob enjoyed starting places in Sweden’s team, and played their part in a dominant opening 2-0 victory over Saudi Arabia. Jacob was voted man of the match in their next game against Senegal, producing a quality through ball for Vasilis Wilhelmsson to open the scoring. His passing was accurate, his tackling 100% successful and he was dominant in the air, good all action performance. Nilsson also put in a good shift, but unfortunately picked up a bruised rib on 80 minutes.

Sweden qualified from their group, but after a 3-0 humbling from France. Nilsson remained on the bench, recovering from his injury, but Jacob picked up a gashed arm late in a game that largely passed him by. He ended up with a 6.5 rating, but produced two shots on goal, and his passing was accurate whenever he got on the ball.

Sweden were badly shaken by their heavy loss to France, and so a 4-1 defeat to Italy was maybe a predictable ending to their campign here. Jacob missed the game because of his arm, but Nilsson came into the squad. He struggled to get into the game, and out of 15 passes he made, 10 found the opposition. He won 4 tackles and all of his headers, but was substituted at half time for Lazio’s Albin Ekdal.


Ireland:

Ireland had qualified for the World Cup at the expense of Turkey, but left Cinadine Cidane at home. They opened the tournament with a 1-0 loss to Spain, before cruising to 2-0 wins over Algeria and Japan and securing a place in the knockout round.

They found themselves up against Hollland, who’d they’d faced in qualifying. The Dutch snuck past thanks to a 1-0 victory.

UAE:

Juventus winger Hassan Emirati, having dragged his country through qualification, didn’t make it to the World Cup. Their opening game against Russia promised an upset as they went 2-0 up in the first ten minutes, but the Russians would response with 5 goals. A very respectable 1-0 loss to Brazil in their next game, UAE stifled the home team by taking 59% of the possession, positive signs there.

Their World Cup ended with a 0-0 draw against Mexico, but UAE proved themselves a plucky team who could mix it up with the big boys, they just lacked some goalscoring prowess. Probably should’ve called up Emirati!

Russia:

Ubor Skolskov wouldn’t feature for Russia, despite a good season in which he finished a runner up to World Football of the Year.

Without him, they beat UAE 5-2, and picked up 1-0 victories against Mexico and Brazil.
Suprisingly lost to Nigeria in the 1st Knockout Round. Should’ve called up Ubor, he wouldn’t have taken that shit

2014/2014 Season Update # 1

1.Cinadine Cidane (Fiorentina)

Tremendous season in Serie A for Fiorentina, Cidane will be plying his trade in the Champions League after his contributions to their 4th placed finish. Fearsome battle all season between the Viola, Napoli, Inter, Palermo and Roma for the two places behind the dominating teams of Milan and Juventus, but ultimately Fiorentina found themselves 4 points ahead of the Inter in fifth and only 2 behind Jacob’s Napoli.

Fiorentina’s biggest strength is the attacking midfield combination of Cidane and Russian international Alen Dzagoev. The pair bagged 10 goals each this season and created another seven between them. Cidane still plays a more conventional central midfield role next to the excellent Zdravko Kuzmanovic, with Dzagoev taking up the AMC role. With Cidane equaling Dzagoev’s goal output even from his withdrawn position it may be time for him to take up position in the hole behind Gilardino.

With Kuzmanovic next to him taking the defensive responsibilities Cidane can focus more on his attacking, but he still put in 3.5 tackles a game on average (Great success rate – 145 out of 182 succeeded).He also works harder than Dzagoev, putting in almost 10km a game.

Cidane’s settled well in Italy, and is even tutoring a youngster called Paolo Pignataro. But, as an Irishman he’ll be competing against the Italian’s in Euro’s qualification. Switzerland could also prove to be a tough opponent. With 5 matches played Ireland sit in third place behind Italy and the Swiss, 4 points off the pace. Ireland did battle to a 1:1 draw at the Renato Curi in Perugia, but Cidane missed the game through injury.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i100/UBERScholes/Cidane2.png

2. cw1984 (Manchester United)

Post Sir Alex Ferguson Manchester United are struggling. Thomas Schaaf lasted only 200 days in charge of United before he was replaced with Spaniard Quique Flores, who’d been managing Tottenham. They also spent £13.25m on Alan Judge, also from Spurs, Levy making a £3.25m profit in a year for this Irishman who barely an impression at White Hart Lane. Good indication of where United are now, can’t even buy Spurs’ best and brightest anymore, content with their fringe players.

Cw1984’s role at Old Trafford is now strictly left back. Owen Hargreaves went surprisingly uninjured this season to form a consistent partnership with Darren Fletcher, and with Patrice Evra sold to Valencia cw1984 was asked to play the role he’d been playing so successfully for England. But throughout Europe he is highly rated in the position, and was made the left back in the World Team of the Year.

So United expect different qualities from cw1984 now. He’s almost doubled his rate of tackles this season to 6.53 per game (Winning 315 from 354), and putting in 10km a game, playing mainly with Cristiano Ronaldo down the left flank. This partnership has been a valuable source of goals for United. Ronaldo bagged 10 goals himself, cw1984 managed only one, but the duo produced 16 assists between them (Ronaldo 9, cw 7).

United finished 8th this season, and so won’t even be competing in Europe next season, not after succumbing to HSV in their UEFA Cup campaign, lasting only to the 1st Knockout round. Cw is considering his options, but is willing remain at the club.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i100/UBERScholes/cw19842.png

3. Diver (Arsenal)

Diver’s brilliant debut season at Arsenal proved a tough act to follow. Although this campaign his role remained the same, alternating between central midfield and central defence, Diver’s game leaned more towards the defensive and his creative input suffered as a result.

Perhaps his now fearsome reputation forced teams to keep a closer eye on Diver, to pressure him whilst in possession and force him into mistakes. His passing accuracy slid down to 77%, he received 58 fouls and was forced into 223 mistakes. Though Diver fought aggressively to keep on top of the opposition, more than doubling his number of fouls to 73 and now putting in 6.50 tackles a game, his contribution in the attacking third amounted to 7 assists and 2 goals. Not a dreadful return, but having produced 21 assists and 3 goals last season it’s a bit of a decline.

But regardless Diver won his second Premiership winners medal this season. It was the only silverware Arsenal came away with and they must feel threatened by Man City finishing only a point behind them in the league table.

Arsenal’s midfield is a little unstable. Fabregas and Diver are the most frequent partnership, but Momo Sissoko, Miguel Veloso, Yaya Toure, Joao Moutinho and Jack Wilshere have all been getting a decent number of games. If one or two can distinguish themselves next to Fabregas, Diver may end up primarily as a central defender. Not the most flattering of positions, especially when you only have Senderos or Djourou to partner up with. But Diver has developed a good reputation as a defender, and hasn’t lost his place in central defence in the World Team of the Year alongside Roma’s Phillippe Mexes.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i100/UBERScholes/Diver2.png

4.Hassan Emirati (Juventus)

Finally starting to earn that £140,000 a week, this season Emirati saw off the competition of Paolo de Caglie and Angel Di Maria to become Juventus’ first choice left winger, ending up with 47 appearances, 42 starts.

Juventus’ attack this season was pretty sensational in terms of goals scored and Emirati had a hand in 19, creating 13 and putting 6 away himself. This included a brilliant goal against Empoli where he managed to control an incoming free kick in a crowded penalty box, spin past a defender and slide a shot past the helpless keeper.
Playing a larger role in the team has improved every facet of Emirati’s game. His passing is now much more accurate, he’s tackling a lot more often and successfully, his shooting has become more composed and he’s also full of running, putting in over 10km a match. He’s even fluent in Italian now, after making no effort to learn last season.

Emirati now has 36 caps for UAE and 7 goals. The Asia Cup is coming up and this pits him against Afghanistan, Iran and Thailand in the group stage. He’s already put Afghanistan to the sword in a recent friendly in which he created both of his teams goals.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i100/UBERScholes/Hemirati2.png

5. Alex Hemming (West Brom)

West Brom avoided relegation last season but the prospect of their captain demanding a move away meant things still looked rather bleak. But in the end, Phil Brown managed to keep hold of Alex Hemming, a move that helped inspire West Brom to a 9th place finish this season, just 2 points away from surpassing Manchester United and Chelsea.

Hemming found himself playing at right back for almost half of his 36 games this season, but surprisingly he produced no assists, a contrast to last season where he was the creator of 8 goals. Instead, the focus was on tightening up defensively. Conceding 49 goals this season offered much improvement on the 63 conceded the previous campaign, hemming playing a key role as the teams most consistent defender with his 7.11 average rating. His composed, very frequent tackling (7.10 tackles a game, 240 out of 270 won) and aerial dominance (387/434 headers won) made West Brom an awkward team to beat.

With Danny Welbeck tucking away 20 goals this season some might’ve thought Hemming would be pushed out of the limelight. However, he was again voted West Brom’s player of the season. He has grown a big fondness for Phil Brown and all thoughts of him leaving the Baggies seem to have disappeared.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i100/UBERScholes/Alexhemming2.png

6. Jacob (Napoli)

Napoli stormed Serie A this season, charging up the table from 9th place to 3rd. Jacob certainly did his bit, finishing in the top 4 of the teams top performers with an average rating of 7.20. He started 33 games, scoring 5 goals and creating 7, man of the match on 4 occasions.

Jacob perhaps struggled to adapt to a central midfield position during his debut season at Napoli, but has now developed strong partnerships with Moussa Sissoko and Michael Ballack. His passing is as accurate as ever, but he is also putting in 4.21 tackles a game, remarkably winning 138 out of 155 attempted.

Jacob’s improvement as a central midfielder has allowed Carlos Eduardo to flourish in the AMC role, and Napoli’s forward line to produce 67 goals in Serie A. But there is still much work to do if they want to challenge for the league, they still finished 22 points behind 2nd placed Juventus, 25 behind champions Milan.

Playing every game nowadays for Sweden, Jocab now has 19 international caps, with 5 goals. He recently scored a vital opening goal against the Czech Republic in the Euro qualifiers, helping Sweden to a 4 points lead at the top of their group.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i100/UBERScholes/Jacob2.png

7. Dennis Law (Man City)

Law looked set to surpass his already impressive seasons at Aston Villa by scoring 13 times by January, chipping in with a further 11 assists (Dwarving his previous best of 3). This laying the groundwork for a famous season for Villa in which they broke into the top 4, with a 6 point lead over fifth placed Newcastle and only a point behind Southampton in third.

But when title challengers Man City came sniffing in the January window Law decided to jump ship. Strangely accepting a £14,000 a week pay cut in the process, clearly more interested in their footballing project. The £29.5m purchase of Law wasn’t the only business City concluded with Aston Villa, they also purchased Law’s striking partner, Artem Milevskyi, for £28m.

Milevskyi would play a larger part in what remained of City’s season , making 13 appearances and scoring 3 times. Law only managed 2 goals in 8 appearances, but he spent 2 months out injured, spraining his ankle twice. Man City would finish 2nd behind Arsenal, only a point separating them. Maybe next season Law will finally get his hands on a major trophy. Despite a low key start to his City career, Law is still remembered fondly in Europe and has a place in the World Team of the Year, alongside his new teammate Vagner Love (Who took Law’s place as World Footballer of the year – bit of a rivalry bubbling?)

Following his odd World Cup snub, Law has only added to his fantastic international record, now 17 goals in 20 caps. In his last two games he’s scored three goals, a hat trick against … Qatar. Can only score against what’s in front of you though.

2014/2015 Season Update # 2:

8: Cristiano Lazytov (Chelsea)

Another uneventful season at Chelsea for Lazytov. He did make 12 appearances in the League, and so would’ve been in line for a Premiership medal this season had Chelsea only managed better than a 7th placed finish. Lazytov managed 3 goals (1 Penalty – in the League Cup Final though) in his 16 appearances (10 starts), so can no longer point to the consistent output of his last season where he scored 6 in 10. Although a shooting accuracy of 59% (13 out of 22 attempts on target) is quite impressive.

Next season at Chelsea could be make or break for Cristiano. Amauri is on his last legs, not producing the most impressive performances and constantly stricken by injuries, and with Salomon Kalou set to join Sunderland it leaves only a 31 year old Goran Pandev as serious competition for the striker’s position. Pandev has made a strong case for himself though by producing 15 goals, and of course there’s always a chance of Roman stumping up for reinforcements. But Lazytov remains enthusiastic about his future at Chelsea, prepared to play the waiting game.

9: Legold Legster (Stuttgart)

Legster has carried his good form for a second season and produced another fine showing. His main issue was discipline but this has improved. He’s still seen 5 yellows and a red for the season, but that’s an improvement over 10 - 3 from the last. This improvement has come despite his tackling become far more frequent, he’s now averaging 6.24 a game.

Stuttgart lost one of their star strikers, Ciprian Marica, and had to rely on young Manuel Fischer to establish himself in the first as partner to Mario Gomez. He responded with 14 goals, no doubt helped by Legsters creative wing play which produced another 8 assists this season. Stuttgart’s attacking play rarely breaks down with Legster, and 89% pass completion means he’s actually gotten more reliable in possession.

Legster is still playing regularly for Serbia, who have a tough Euro Qualifying group. They’ve 10 points from their opening five matches, but Turkey and Austria sit above them in the table. They’ll be hoping for a good showing after failing to qualify for the World Cup.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i100/UBERScholes/LLegster2.png

10: Karan Mittal (Chelsea)

Great season for Mittal, hitting double figures for goals for the first time his career, ending up with 14 from 46 games. He created almost as many as he scored as well, 13 assists, and won Man of the Match 7 times. He was Chelsea’s most consistent player with an average rating of 7.22, only Goran Pandev coming close to equaling that. And Pandev finished as Chelsea’s top scorer with only 1 more than Mittal (Although Kalou also chipped in 14).

Despite his attacking flair, Mittal can look after himself and puts in on average 4.30 tackles a game. He’s also the vengeful sort. He’s taken 65 fouls this season, but responded by committing 68 of his own, earning four bookings. His tackling is very sharp though, and out of 226 attempted, 189 have succeeded. An average of 10.1km run a match, it’s clear Mittal puts in his fair share of graft.

But Chelsea need a bit of a surgery and slid down the table to 7th place this season, involved in a similar decline to Manchetser United and Liverpool. They did manage to win the FA Cup though, defeating Middlesbrough in the final (They also reached the League Cup final, but were defeated on penalties by Southampton, and they at least have UEFA Cup football to fall back on, unlike United.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i100/UBERScholes/KMittal2.png

11: Rasmus Nilsson (Tottenham)

Slowly Rasmus is finding his feet at Spurs. They’re now playing a conventional 4-4-2 under new manager Paul Ince so he can play in preferred position on the left flank, and there has been a positive response as Nilsson produced a season with a 6.88 average rating. Room for improvement, but still an improvement over his 6.44 rating for last season.

In 26 games he’s scored twice and assisted twice. His passing, tackling and aerial ability has all pretty solid without being outstanding, but he is one of the harder workers in the Spurs team, running on average 9.4km a match.

He faces a battle with Luka Modric, who’s played most of his games starting on the left flank and been a reliable source of goals, scoring 13 this season from 47 appearances. But if Paul Ince can work the same magic that had Newcastle in the hunt for a top four finish last season then Nilsson could have a bright future if he continues to improve as he has.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i100/UBERScholes/RNilsson2.png

12. niMic (Sevilla)

Mixed season for niMic. He began to show far more consistency in his performances and finished up the season with an average rating of 7.31, beating his previous best of 6.70. This from 32 appearances in which he produced 8 goals and ten assists. His shooting has steadily improved through the seasons and 50% accuracy (40 shots on goal, 20 on target) is his best yet for Sevilla, same can be said of his passing accuracy of 66%.

Sevilla underachieved this season though. They weren’t helped by niMic suffering a torn calf muscle which kept him out the team for crucial 3 months in the latter half of the season. This contributed to their UEFA Cup campaign ending at the hands of Aberdeen, and narrowing missing out on European football for the next season, finishing 7th in the Primera. Atletico Madrid stole the last UEFA Cup position thanks to a single extra goal scored.

niMic has helped Norway to a good start on their Euro’s qualifying campaign as they’ve taken 9 points from 4 games so far, Croatia and Bulgaria their main competitors in their group.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i100/UBERScholes/nimic2.png


13. Alwyn Payne (Juventus)

Alwyn romped to 13 goals this season, taking his tally in four seasons at Juventus to 15. Pretty dramatic increase. Juventus couldn’t follow up their treble season with trophies, but they at least introduced some brilliant attacking football to Serie A and ended up scoring 85 goals, 17 more than eventual champions Milan.

Alwyn’s role in central midfield has become a bit less withdrawn and he’s fired in 180 efforts on goal this season – way more than anyone else in the squad, almost double what the likes of Robinho, Federico Laurito and Davide Lanzafame attempted. Definitely willing to take a few pot shots, Alwyn. If he could improve his 30% shooting accuracy then maybe his future would be up front.

But as Juventus’ midfield has become more liberated it’s also gotten sloppier. Alwyn’s passing accuracy has dropped to 79%, a similar carelessness affecting his midfield partner Ubor Skolskov as well.

Despite this, both players seem completely unthreatened by new £14m signing John Obi Mikel, who made only 2 appearances during his first season in Turin. They also saw off Miguel Veloso, who was signed for £24.5m but sold to Arsenal for £25m not 5 months later, making no appearances for the Old Lady. Dodgy dealings behind the scenes at Juventus? You wouldn't think ...

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i100/UBERScholes/Alwyn2.png

14. Paz (Newcastle)

Paz spent another season at Newcastle. A successful season, that saw the Mag’s replace Manchester United at fifth place in the Premiership and secure UEFA Cup football for next season. But not all was well at the club and Paz wanted a move away, ultimately handing in a transfer request that led to a £23m deal with new Serie A champions AC Milan.

But Milan would’ve been impressed with Paz’s performance’s for Newcastle this season, he worked hard to earn his move abroad. Focusing more on his goalscoring, Paz increased on last season’s return by scoring 10 times, 9 times in the Premiership, helping to compensate for Guilherme struggling to reproduce his 32 goal haul. Paz was an important part of a midfield four that scored 41 goals this season, combining well with Eden Hazard, Fredy Guarin and Alejandro Alfaro.

His work rate increased. Last season he was running around 7km a match, this season it was more like 10.5km a match. His shooting accuracy improved to 61% from 42% and his passing also tightened up to 67% accuracy from 61%. It was his best season yet, producing a 7.12 average rating, so to his credit he grafted hard to secure his big money move and AC Milan should be an interesting stage for him.

Having said that, George Worst would tell you how Carlo Ancelotti feels about wingers. He’s still playing the same 4-3-2-1 system that saw Worst alienated and sold after a year and half. They’re also paying to Newcastle the exact same fee they paid to Hertha BSC for Worst’s services. £23m a season put aside to waste pointlessly on a player you aren’t going to use? This is Serie A, and they're bloody minted

But whilst Worst is a pure winger, Paz being a MRL could find himself tucked into one of Ancelotti’s three MC position. Could take some time to adapt, but hopefully he’ll get more time on the pitch than Worst did.

2014/2015 Season Update # 3:

15. Psmith (FC Bayern Munich)

Psmith powered through his second season at Bayern much the same way he powered through his first, his output very similar. He spent 36 days of the season injured (Twisted knee, Damaged Foot and Virus) and so played seven fewer games than the fifty he started last season, but his strikerate was largely unaffected as he struck 21 times, and produced another 5 assists.

In fact, his pass completion, his tackling success and aerial stats didn’t change an awful lot from last season. But he has improved the accuracy of his shooting, hitting 50% of his shots on target, an improvement on 41% last season. With strike partner Roque Santa Cruz also maintaining his consistency in front of goal, scoring 24 times, Bayern could argue to having one of, if not the strongest attacking duo in Europe.

This form helped Bayern to another Bundesliga title, and the quarter finals of the Champions League where they were knocked out by R. Madrid 3-1 on aggregate (Psmith scoring Bayern’s single goal – 4 goals from 9 apps in Europe this season). Psmith was voted player of season by the Bayern fans.

For India, he has now scored 12 goals in 11 appearances.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i100/UBERScholes/Psmith2.png


16. Chris Seal (Inter)

Sadly this season Searl suffered a broken leg, a 5 month injury he’d picked in training, and promptly twisted his knee soon after making his comeback putting him out a further two weeks. As a consequence, he was only able to make 13 appearances.

Out of all the Caftard’s, Searl has by far the most colourful history of injuries. Whilst most have only had suffered 5 to 10 injuries throughout their careers so far, Searl has picked up 22 in that time, many of them quite serious. This broken leg, twisted knees and ankles, broken jaws, damaged achilles tendons, sprained ankles, pulled hamstrings, as well as gashed arms and legs, concussions, facial injuries, bruised shins and thighs and also two bouts of man flu. Bit of a warrior, Searl.

This season wrecked by injury, he was largely ineffective in the few appearances he did make, although he managed to score a couple of goals.

But as a conventional midfielder, perhaps Searl doesn’t figure into Claude Puel’s tactics. He recognizes only specialized midfielders, playing two DMC’s and three AM’s. Searl’s status in the team has been downgraded to squad rotation, so perhaps a move away from Inter could be on the cards in the future, although for the moment Searl is happy at the club.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i100/UBERScholes/CSearl2.png

17. Shorty Phelan (Southampton)

Shorty’s partnership with the prolific Eugene Seleznyov helped Southampton sensationally claim 3rd place in the Premiership this season. Between them this combo scored 47 goals, with Shortly claiming 25 of them. Who’d have thought, 5 seasons ago when they won promotion from the Championship, they’d soon be looking down the Premiership table at Man United, Liverpool and Chelsea?

In fairness, Southampton also boasted the best defensive record in the league, so this success isn’t based just around their strikeforce. Roy Hodgson has built a formidable team.

Shorty benefits from two creative wingers in the Belgian/Norwegian internationals Chris Becker and Frederik Bendikson, the pair created 22 goals this season. Former Celtic player Scott Brown has also proven a bit of playmaker and totted up 10 assists himself.

Shorty’s finishing is clinical. He had 91 goals attempts this season, and put 50 of these on target, forcing 25 saves, scoring 25 goals. Only one of these goals came from the penalty spot, the only penalty he took this season.

Southampton have made Shorty their marquee player for their upcoming Champions League campaign, rewarding him with the best contract in the squad, £105,000 a week. But he is still ignored by Stuart Pearce, the England manager, and hasn’t been able to fight his way out the U21 squad, despite 10 goals in 13 appearances. Shorty also a runner up in World Player of Year behind Vagner Love at City and Gourcuff at Milan.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i100/UBERScholes/SPhelan2.png

18. Ubor Skolskov (Juventus)

With Alwyn taking up the goalscoring reigns in Juventus’ midfield, Skolskov has focused a bit more on his defensive responsibilities. He’s increased his rate of tackling from 3.38 to 5.73 tackles per game on average, succeeding in 226 challenges from 262. As a consequence, he’s more than doubled his number of fouls for the season, producing 74, and Serie A has responded by fouling him 57 times. Been involved in a few scrapes! His normally reliable passing has taken a bit of a drop though, down to 79% pass completion from 89% the season before.

Still been able to chip in offensively though. 7 goals and 8 assists isn’t a bad return, though a lesser return than last season. But a series of injuries, twisted knees and ankles may have affected his form and he made 11 fewer appearances this season. But in terms of average rating, 7.37 is the best he’s produced so far in his three seasons at Juventus, and had a place in the World Team of the Year.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i100/UBERScholes/USkols2.png

19. Sam Stock (Inter)

Sam joined Flawless Thaw and Chris Searl at Inter, getting his move away from West Ham in a £27m deal. Maybe not the best time to join the Nerazzuri. Their attack is spluttering under Claude Puel, and though Stock ended up as their top scorer in his debut season, just 14 goals put him on top. But with Ibrahimovic the lone striker in Inter’s system, Stock has been playing from the right wing so that’s a pretty impressive return.

Stock has been a menace to the Serie A defenders, who’ve fouled him 105 times trying to contain him. Stock doesn’t tend to put his foot in, making on average 1.39 tackles a game, but he picks his moments and only lost 12 tackles this season, winning 62. 70% pass completion means he doesn’t give possession away too much.

Despite their problems, Stock has really taken to Inter and developed a good relationship with manager Claude Puel. His Italian is coming along, and he’s tutoring a young striker called Pasquale Ferrero, who seems to be responding well, having scored 9 goals in 20 appearances for Inter’s reserve team.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i100/UBERScholes/SStock2.png

20. Flawless Thaw (Inter)

Having mustered only 1 goal in his first two seasons at Inter, it was surprising to see him chip in with 11 for his third. But with Chris Searl’s broken leg Inter manager Claude Puel decided to change tactics, using Thaw and Cambiasso partnered as DMC’s, supporting a full line of AMC’s in turn supporting Zlatan.

Clearly this paid off for Thaw, and his defensive game didn’t suffer at all. On average, he’s put in around 10km of running with 7.32 tackles a game. 336 out of 376 attempted tackles won, and winning about 70% of his headers. He’s a pretty dominant presence in Inter’s midfield. Currently he’s considering a new contract offer from Inter, who’ll be looking to significantly increase on his current £53,000 a week deal.

But Inter overall suffered, ending up 5th in Serie A. Flaw’s 11 goals actually made him the second top scorer in the squad, just 3 behind Sam Stock.

Thaw’s attacking game continues to shine for England, as he’s scored 4 in his last 4 games under Stuart Pearce.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i100/UBERScholes/FThaw2.png

21. Walrus (Arsenal)

Walrus’s third season with Arsenal turned out to be by far his most productive. Obviously the faith shown to him by Van Basten through that difficult fourway tussle with Van Persie, Eduardo and Vela has paid off.

Now definitely a first choice striker, Walrus made 47 appearances for Arsenal, and doubled his previous season’s goal tally to 18. He also contributed 15 assists, oddly. This kind of inventive play wasn’t showing in his first two seasons. His pass completion has also improved quite a bit to 74%, having been mid 60’s in his previous seasons.

Still not the most imposing striker though. Out of 506 headers attempted, he won only 81, he also found himself awarded 103 fouls. Considering he’s an Arsenal player, you can only really conclude that he’s a diving, cheating bastard. But he’s definitely producing the goods, and Arsenal have tied him down to a new £110,000 deal.

Walrus’ performances for England have also been impressive, and he’s scored 6 goals in his last five games, which gives him a very respectable international record of 8 goals in 16 appearances. He’s also become best mates with Sam Stock.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i100/UBERScholes/Walrus2.png

22. Ed Weatherall (Ajax)

Not wanting any part of a Championship campaign with relegated Q.P.R, Ed handed in a transfer request and now finds himself at Ajax, who stumped up £4.3m.

Weatherall has been deputy to the Dutch #1 (And team captain) Maarten Stekelenburg. But he’s made 8 impressive appearances so far, keeping 6 clean sheets, and ending up with a very good average rating of 7.47 for the season. Ajax emerged at the top of Eredivisie for the 3rd season running, but with only 5 league appearances Ed probably didn’t end up with a medal. But a good first impression, and he seems to be adapting well to Amsterdam, thanks in part to having a fellow Englishman at the club in Joe Mattock.

But with Q.P.R enjoying a successful season in the Championship, securing promotion back to the Premiership through the playoffs, maybe there is a regret that he turned his back on regular first team action.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i100/UBERScholes/EWeatherall2.png

23. George Worst (Arsenal)

George’s inexplicable £24m transfer to an AC Milan side with no interest at all in wingers may go down as one of the most pointless in recent Serie A history. But after a season and a half at the Rossoneri, during which time he made a paltry 16 appearances, Worst was given an opportunity to join Diver and Walrus at Arsenal. Milan recouped £19m from the January deal, and eager to push through the move Worst graciously accepted a pay cut. He now earns £120,000 instead of £125,000 a week.

Early indications are positive. In half a season he’s already made as many starts as he got appearances at AC Milan. From these 16 games, he’s scored 5 and created 1. Bit of a set piece specialist, George. Two of his goals came from free kicks, one against Arsenal’s main title contenders Man City, and another against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Has a taste for the big occasion.

But Worst is a good all round winger who’s more than happy to support his full back. He runs on average 9.9km a game, and 38 out of his 50 attempted tackles were successful. Looks like he’ll become an important player for Van Basten and Arsenal.

Nice one Uber, fantastic posts there. You really go into a lot of detail and I actually sat down and read all of them! Props to you mate.
 
why do every one of your players have 20 in determination? I haven't played FM in a while but it looks like a tweak to me. Or does it have to do with your coaches?

Edit: In the first post every player has 20 determination.

:lol: fecking hell, best mates with the perma-tanned Phil Brown! I'm loving your work Uber, and my guy seems to be enjoying midtable anonymity. Baggies player of the year two seasons running and captain, not bad. Maybe one day i'll get to play in Europe, one day.

Also i can't believe i'm valued at 34.5million! That's only just behind Walrus as the highest valued! Not bad for a little lad plying his trade in the black country.
 
Quality update Uber. Cheers.
