Just checked out the tables and I finished with the best defense in Division 1. Was a nice surprise considering my mid season blip.

Well done Damo...
I had my eye on your score throughout my game...when I saw that City and Arsenal were both losing, and you were only 1-0 up, I got a bit excited, but Bolton dampened that excitement by going 2-0 up...
Great season all round really, and still got a chance to win a trophy at the end of it against Arsenal...
Onwards and upwards to next season.
Think a few reinforcements are needed for squad depth...and need to look at replacing David Villa as he's getting on a bit...

Did welbz get golden boot?!
Poor devil. Walcott has been rubbish for me really. Got 4 good lads though in welbz, Benteke, Jackson M and Theo
Crewe promoted finally
Finished 16th. Could've been a few places higher had I beat Forest. 16th isn't great, but my points total was okay. I'll be concentrating on the league this season after winning trophies in my previous two seasons.
Philip Wollscheid and Mat Ryan, welcome to WBA
Sturridge for £12m is a steal by Spurs. Surprised no one else was in for him.
If I had the money I might have been. Great signing for Spurs.
I had the money and considered a bid, but I have other priorities at the moment. I'm set with my striking options with Dzeko and Aubameyang.
Won my first three games in the draft league. Agger is injured though.
No room at Everton for the arrogant cnut.
What did you think of my offer?
Its a super deal.
I'd have been in for him had it not been for the wages I already have at the club. Already got Kiessling who am struggling to give games to.
Ohh, and I dont have the 12mil either
Could do with offloading Mandzukic or Mirallas now though, a bit forward heavy, only so many I can keep happy and don't fancy boosting wages.
Yep, 3-4 is ideal. More than that and you'l struggle to give them enough games specially as they want quite a bit gametime if they're rated 90 or above.
Negotiations, my favourite part of SM
Well it looks like my squads value has gone up by 30m since the last pre season. Having a quick look (can't be all that accurate as not all of the loans have returned yet).
Looks like Liverpool are one of the clubs to make a huge loss. His squad valued has decreased by 51.8m! Wolves have also made a loss of 28.9m. While Tottenham, Arsenal and City may also drop in value, but they have a lot of players on loan still.
Middlesbrough have made 21m squad value increase, Baggies have made 33.2m (with still 1 player on loan).

My squad value last pre-season was £452.9M. Not much different right now, and when my three players are recalled it'll probably be around 460-465M. Trading Ozil and RvP for Ronaldo will be one of the reasons there has been hardly any increase, but it's fine.

Mine is pretty much the same I'd say. Few sold, few bought. Cancels out. No major rating increases
Yeah, I've just recalled the last few players now all the games have finished and my squad values gone up by 31.9m since last pre season. Pretty happy with that all things considered.
Oh and unlucky Wednesday! Isn't that like two seasons in a row now?

Yep. Pretty gutted about that, I really thought tonight was a huge opportunity. Was up against a side that wasn't as strong as others I'd faced and I don't really expect certain teams to be as beatable again next season, plus Darlington willing a huge threat. I think it's fair to say I'd have probably won the game had Leandro Damiao not got sent off in the first half, but to draw the game still (after being 2-0 up no less) and ultimately lose on penalties is so bloody frustrating.Yeah, I've just recalled the last few players now all the games have finished and my squad values gone up by 31.9m since last pre season.

Needed that promotion as well!
So, who has landed Strootman?
Few of my youths getting nice increases into the low 80s. Long may it continue!

You can never tell, but i'm not very confident anymore...
I haven't won a transfer battle in.... forever. My chairmen never gives me enough max value for some reason.

My deal came to over 19mill anyways, but it could go to anyone by the looks of it. I have a better chance with him than a certain defender people are prob maxing their bid on

Young Norwich talent Josh Murphy is incoming, surprised they was no competition.
feck, been waiting for him and he pops up on a weekend im away! Freaking SM!
Ah balls
Might try going with a three man defence this season. Seems to be the way to go.
Works for some, I never found a happy medium with 3 at the back. Still lost too many games.
Beat Damo in the draft league 3-0. Keeps my unbeaten start up. Two point lead at the top of the table.
Well done, Barney. Got no idea how to turn things around in draft league. Had a set formation and style in mind and it went poo.
Meanwhile, beat Carlisle 8-3 in today's friendly in this league. Next season fixtures are revealed on Tuesday...
