Against Everton next who are in goalscoring form. Tomorrow is the first lot of concern reviews. Boateng, Matip, Brandt and Martial all at risk of getting playing concerns.

Deserved (and rare) 1:0 victory against Stain's Everton. Decision to rest Mbappe paid off, with Griezmann scoring the winner just seconds after Everton made their subs.

Got a concern update. Mbappe went down from level 3 concern for being loaned out to level 2. By the end of the season he should hopefully be at 0.
 
KOd of all cups now. Given my league performances, starting to wonder if I'm the right manager for the club. Such a talented squad but I've got feckall to show for it :(

Please don't go :( Tah has finally risen for you.

By this time next week they might have reviewed Bayern.

Kimmich the only one left who should increase and Bayern won't be reviewed until Sunday (unlucky @CrackersJr).

Yeah, not quitting man but it's definitely crossing my mind now. Squad is better than the dross I've been serving up.

I just got lucky and rolled a double 6 to beat you. One of those annoying results that sometimes happens, like when I get beat by unmanaged clubs. Congrats on Tah rising. I imagine your first team are going to have a few nice rises which will make you more competitive. Wouldn't be shocked of Ederson gets a +2.
 
Hereford real life transfers (Summer 2018)

Done deals
  1. Filho Paulinho (17/82): Vasco de Gama => Bayer Leverkusen
  2. Nordi Mukiele (20/85): Montpellier => RB Leipzig
Very Likely
  1. Ivan Marcano (30/88): Porto => Roma

Game engine is just rubbish, just look at Barnsley, should not be top. Stick at it and tweak tactics.

Yeah same for Willi Orban. He also had his wage increase the day after, which has never happened so quickly before. :(
 
About 4- 5 seasons ago I had different tactics than what I have now and never changed them due to pretty decent success for a couple seasons and then season 14 they stopped working. No matter what I did I still got relegated.

Since the start of last season when I was in D2 I set my tactics and have not changed them once since match day 1.
Even cup games I shoe horn the players in the system.
Still stuck to them for this season.
We'll see how long it lasts this time.

Tactics are working fine, I'm dominating most games. Just that the opponents convert a ridiculous number of chances while I'm struggling on that front.

Our match wasn't even amongst the worst losses, it was still equal stats wise with my team with higher possession. I'm ok losing such games. Most of my other losses have been an absolute piss take though. I'm hoping a +2 for Ederson changes that, lets see. He is the real life Bravo atm.
 
Won 2:1 away to Liverpool. Disappointing given they played a reserve side and a 78 rated player scored. At least Griezmann is finding the net again.

Kimmich (91)↓ Ramos (95) Boateng (94)➕➕ Alaba (93)
Eriksen (92)↓ Pogba (93)
Sterling (91)↓ Kroos (95) Isco (93)

Subs: Roberto (91)↑, Stones (90), Goretzka (91)↑, Dele (91), Brandt (90), Martial (90) Mbappe (91)↑
Did not travel: Matip (90), Gaya (90)

Key:

Finally in the top four now but probably won't be for long. Didn't think I'd beat Everton, Spurs and Liverpool back to back.

Next three games:
MD15: Newcastle (H)
LSR3: Mansfield Town (H)
MD16: Nottingham Forest (A)
