The_Gato_In_Goal Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Bad start to the season as a league leading 9 players are out with injuries (5 in the last 2 games). Both my left backs are out for 6-7 weeks and my 3 key players (Baines, Lukaku, and Barkley) are all injured. Regardless, we've been doing okay in the league and even beat Man City 3-0.

Last time it was saved was before the 45th league game. I replayed and in a twist of fate I won in the playoff final on penalties. In a bit of a dilemma as to whether to continue from this and go in the prem or replay again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Club Esportiu Europa is a Spanish sports club, based in the Gràcia district of Barcelona. The club is best known for its football team who in 1929, along with city neighbours FC Barcelona and RCD Espanyol, were founder members of La Liga. They currently play in Group 5 of the Tercera División.During the late 1990s they won the Copa Catalunya twice in succession, on both occasions beating FC Barcelona in the final.The club also has one of the oldest basketball teams in Spain and on 8 December 1922 they hosted Laietà BC in the first ever organised basketball game played in the country. During the 1920s the basketball team were also Catalan champions on two occasions. Fun fact: CE Europa's stadium is just 15 minutes away from Camp Nou.Squad - General Info - FacilitiesThere is my chosen club! One last question - Do I only sign players born in Barcelona? Or players born in Catalonia? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

smp20 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Ipswich Town East Anglian Army - 2014/15 Player ReviewPlay-off 1st Leg ~ Play-off 2nd Leg ~ Play-off Final ~ Signings Confirmed ~ Player Stats ~ Best 11 ~ POTYI thought I'd start by going over the changes since the crash dump, as you can see this time around we managed to win on penalties in the play-off final to scrape through to the Premier League. I've also confirmed the signing of Todd Kane (Cambridge), who will slot straight into the first team, as well as two local players poached from smaller team - Tommy Atkins (Colchester) and Clive Sutch (Chelmsford). You can see that the player ratings ended up pretty decent considering our 18-14-14 record in the league, but of course plenty to build on going forward into the Premier League! Here's an overview of the first team squad and key youngsters: Luke Steele (Peterborough) - our first choice keeper and was missed when he was injured. He's actually off to Man City so he's being replaced. Josh Simpson (Cambridge) - although he has generally been used as a centre-mid in his career, after a bit of training Simpson was consistent enough at right back to become first choice. Josh Meekings (Bury St. Edmunds) - he started out at Ipswich and he established himself at centre back. Has developed slightly and could easily play right-back if needed. Matthew Clarke (Ipswich) - one of our best prospects, he got plenty of game time in the 2nd half of the season after being successfully tutored and has developed extremely well. I expect him to feature a lot next season. Nat Knight-Percival (Cambridge) - worked his way up through non-league with Histon and has been a real versatile player for us, most frequently playing left back. Michael Morrison (Haverhill) - almost ever present except when suspended. A player I know very well IRL after being a couple of year below him at school and he started at my club Cambridge Utd. Kyle Hammond (Ipswich) - A good prospect but has spent a lot of time out injured. It will be interesting to see how he develops if he can stay fit. Ed Upson (Bury St. Edmunds) - has performed excellently as a deep-lying playmaker and has improved attribute wise. He will be first choice for a while. Luke Hyam (Ipswich) - our club captain is a very decent player and has developed but he has a big problem - diving into tackles! 4 sending offs is a really poor show, I hope he can improve that side of his game. Though you do need players who wear their hearts on their sleeve. Liam Trotter (Ipswich) - He was fans player of the year and is equally comfortable in MC or AMC. Going forward he will be the Trequartista in the AMC 3. Ian Henderson (Norwich) - brought in to provide AMC cover, he's got a couple of seasons in him yet. Luke Berry (Cambridge) - one of my favourite players who IRL is back at Cambridge Utd, I have a soft spot for him so he will feature in the Prem. Cameron King (Bury St Edmunds) - was a surprise regular first teamer despite not being the most amazing performer he has developed well and will only improve. Darren Ambrose (Harlow) - Our best player in the first half of the season but he has been plagued with injuries. Darren will be leaving at the ned of the season to make space for some youngsters. Teddy Bishop (Cambridge) - He is the star of the team, already a top player and he has great potential. I'm looking forward to developing him into, hopefully, a regular England player. Todd Cantwell (Norwich) - it's hard to tell if Todd will amount to anything, none the less he's got a chance and made a few first team appearances including in the play-off final where he slotted home one of the penalties. Chris Martin (Lowestoft) - our top scorer with roughly a goal every other game. Some days he was great, others he was poor - I can see that continuing in the Premier League! George Fowler (Chelmsford) - he wasn't particularly in my mind as he has been overshadowed my Clark, but he has developed really well and could make it into the first team. Joe Morrell (Ipswich) - brought back to the area he was born, Joe is another potential starlet. Stefan Broccoli (Peterborough) - we became his 3rd club in 3 seasons after Arsenal and Newcastle. Stefan has potential, but he keeps on falling out with his tutors! Tom Matthews (Norwich) - equally useful at right or centre-back, Tom is yet another player keeping an eye on. Angus Gunn (Norwich) - spent a season on loan at Cambridge and will now become our no. 2 after the retirement of Richard Wright (now our u18s GK coach). He was snatched away from Man City.

Nottingham Forest Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Why does there seem to be an abundance of good talent in East Anglia but none in Nottingham . As previously discussed, the best Nottingham players are all either retired or at bigger clubs. If was to try to build one off the top of my head. It would be something like this; 1. Scott Loach (Rotherham) 2. James Perch (Wigan) 3. Julian Bennett (Free Agent) 4. Tom Huddlestone (Hull) 5. Wes Morgan (Leicester) 6. Kelvin Wilson (Forest) 7. Jermaine Pennant (Free Agent) 8. Lewis McGugan (Sheffield Wednesday) 9. Leon Best (Brighton) 10. David McGoldrick (Ipswich) 11. Terry Hawkridge (Scunthorpe) Subs 12. Simon Francis (Bournemouth) 13. 14. Craig Westcarr (Portsmouth) 15. Aden Flint (Bristol City) 16. Craig Clay (Grimsby) 17. Will Hoskins (Oxford) 18. Kieron Freeman (Sheffield United) 19. Jordan Bowery (Rotherham) 20. Tom Cairney (Blackburn) 21. Jacob Mellis (Oldham) 22. Chris O'Grady (Brighton) 23. Shaun Barker (Derby) Infact there are a few more and that's not a bad team. If Forest had the £5m/£6m they had at the start of the game then it would be incredible because you'd be able to buy a few players. I might have another crack at it tbh.

smp20 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Good first season Makoto - nice to see that you are getting rid of the non-barca players early but it will be a challenge. Forest - looking at that its a pretty decent side, probably better than the East Anglian bar the potential of Teddy Bishop and Matthew Clarke. I've hoovered up pretty much all the East Anglian talent now, so it'll be snatching regens from now on. Half-season update to come! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smp20 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Premier League Debut - 2015/16 Half-Season ReviewResults ~ League Table ~ Transfers ~ Player Stats ~Facilities ~ November POTM ~ November YPOTM ~ Norwich ThrashingI really thought that it was going to be a very bleak season. We only managed to gain 2 points in our first 7 games and our biggest disappointment was the early exit in the League Cup to Oxford, although we did play a very inexperienced side. However, we were able to turn it around and November was a particularly good month - as you can see from the player awards. The biggest surprise has been the emerging form of Cameron King who has been a revelation. Two excellent performances spring to mind, the 3-2 away win against Man City and of course the 4-0 complete obliteration of rivals Norwich, where they didn't have a shot the whole game. We sit comfortably in mid-table and it will be great if we can stay there. In terms of transfers, I've brought in a lot of the remaining East Anglian talent and our biggest signing has been Chris Cohen who was unhappy at Forest after they had a poor season and was in the last year of his contract. He has been great at left back for us. We've had facility and youth system upgrades so its looks like we are in a great position to develop our youngsters. After winning Group 2, our U18s are currently top of the U18 Group 1 South and are looking very promising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
