Exactly the same, though I play Chelsea before Forest, while you play them after.
 
Hopefully I can start the season stronger than last season....

I've never seen anyone in all the years I've been playing this game, win the league twice in a row...ever...

Enough depth to deal with injuries, probably not enough to challenge for the cup. Nice young age for the 2nds though.
 
Brought in Sagna (91) yesterday to boost the defence, signing Bojan today - bit of an odd one but £4m for an 88 rated 23 year old playing regular football isn't too bad business.

The club board expects promotion, brilliant.

Very good. Mine:

Second XI (Well, de Gea's in both...)

I've got a bit of a winger shortage, but in cups I use some of my first XI anyway. Replace Mavrias with Ronaldo and Zouma with Rafael and that's pretty much what it'd be.
 
Modric's last position change has really fecked up my options. Can only play through the middle now.
 
Got Gianneli Imbula. First blood goes to Big-Red.
 
Good thing I upped it, would of lost out otherwise. Know what you vultures can be like with young talent.
 
In another game, I've been offered Moura and James Rodriguez in a swap for Julian Draxler...

Do I take that? I've got high hopes for Draxler, but Moura and Rodriguez are also good prospects..

What to do...???

Draxler will be better than both probably, but the other two are very good prospects too. Depends how good the rest of your team is.
 
My squad for the season - 1 less player than there was at the start of last season. Since then Smalling and Canales were sold, Reyes has gone out on loan, Ozil and van Persie were exchanged for Ronaldo and Castaignos, Carrick and Papadopoulos have come in to the squad to start this season. Vidic decreased in rating while de Gea, Rafael, Digne, Bale, Isco, Bender, Pogba, Balotelli and Michu all rose.

Goalkeepers (2)
David de Gea (22/91)
Ben Amos (23/82)

Defenders (7)
Sergio Ramos (27/95 D(RC))
Nemanja Vidic (32/94 D(C))
Rafael da Silva (23/91 D,DM,M(R))
Alex Sandro (22/89 D,DM,M(L))
Kyriakos Papadopoulos (21/89 D,DM(C))
Lucas Digne (20/88 D,DM(L))
Serge Aurier (20/87 D(RLC))

Midfielders (8)
Gareth Bale (24/94 AM(RLC))
Mario Gotze (21/93 AM(RLC),F(RL))

Mario Balotelli (23/91 F(RLC))
Perez Michu (27/90 AM,F(C))
Luc Castaignos (21/87 F(RLC))

Squad feels a bit... fragile looking at that but did well last season. Bit annoyed with how I went out of the CL but other than that no real complaints. This season top four place and at least one trophy is the target again.
 
So... I've made zero signings this pre season. Wonderful. I'm not happy with my chairmen one bit!


I got just 1 kid in.

This will be a tough season for me after I decided to invest all of my money into very young players rather than getting some squad players in. Few injuries and I'l be fecked :nervous:
 
Solid win for me indeed. Was unsure how it would go, had to play a defender out of position, and took a gamble with making subs if I was winning at 60 minutes. Very happy.
