bendixkunert2 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 update 1.5 Our first game was our first final of the series. And also the first and last Coupe de la Ligue final. Sold out Stade de France. Our league campaign also went decently well. season awards: season overview: UEL winners: Arsenal UCL winners: Liverpool (trashing City 5-0 in the final) Promoted: Lorient and Clermont (Montpellier beat Valenciennes in the playoff) Overall it has been an exceptional season for us. We won silverware and won the league in our first season. PSG did not have their best season and I expect to be extremely strong next season but I'm still very happy. Our transfer budget for next season will be 12 million so we will see what we can do there to strengthen the team for Champions League football next year. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Beckham Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 August & September Results I have had a very good first 2 months, Only losing twice. Key victories over PSG and Marseille helped. I have let to lose in the league which is good. I am currently 3rd in the league with 18 points. Diallo is my 3rd best striker now after the emergence of Jean-Marie Royer, a newgen striker who has scored 5 goals in 7 games so far. Loba has come back but started slow with just 1 goal in 4 games. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AddicksFan Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I truly sometimes do not understand this game at all. Liverpool just came in for one of my youngsters, unsettled him, he asked to leave, I said no originally as they only offered his current value of £250K, they came back in, I negotiated and sold him for 10M plus 40% of next sale. Players are unhappy that I backed down, even though the club was in debt due to every single greedy player coming to me for improved contracts due to being in Ligue 1!! The board are unhappy with the finances involved....even though it's a record fee for Sochaux! I just wish a little more intelligence was placed into the Transfer system and the effects it has....

Ronaldo Beckham Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 I just got some good news from my mentoring group. Jean Marie Royer has picked up some positive and negative traits and now he has a fairly ambitious personality so that is better then before. I am currently 3rd place after 15 games played, I had a bit of a bad run of losing 3 games in a row. I finally got a win in the Champipns League against Napoli but lost the next Champions League game against Athletico Madrid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Beckham Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 A sad day at FC Metz with the departure of legend Habib Diallo. He was 29 and wasn't getting in the first team after Loba and now Royer have took his place. I felt like he needed to go to get his career back on track and I think he will do well for Cagiliri. I wish him well and I will try bring him back as a coach in the future. He had a hell of a career at Metz signing in 2013 and being at the club for 11 years scoring over 100 goals.

Unlucky with the consequences of the PSV game, but it was a tough group and you're still doing a great job in the league.

Yeah it was crushing as I was aiming to get 3rd place so I can get Europa League but hopefully I can start getting top 4 position every season from now on. Royer is amazing, he is also only 21 and a product of the youth academy, I got 2-3 players now that are first team regulars that have come through the youth academy so I am happy with that. Before I am done with Metz I am hoping to win the French league with just youth team products. 2 hours ago, karanhsingh said: @Ronaldo Beckham some excellent updates there!

AddicksFan Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Sochaux - January and February update (Season 2) January was a hard month for the team, Eboa Eboa and King Kebbeh departed for the Africa Cup of Nations leaving us without two key players for a number of weeks....the fixtures weren't kind to us with two games against PSG...to which we suffered a bad loss after leading 2-0 before finally going down 6-3 after three goals in added time!! Another loss to PSG this time in the Cup, no complaints totally outplayed followed by a painful loss away to Lens. February was totally different with the home form being fantastic and laying the foundation for our push to qualifying for European football next season. April looks to be a make or break in terms of Europe as we have tough games Away to Marseille and Lyon. My player of the Month/s - He has really stepped up these past couple of Months and has scored some invaluable goals The Transfer window was somewhat of an annoyance, with many inform and influential players being the subject of transfer bids from larger teams causing unrest within the dressing room after I gave in and sold an excellent youth prospect that had broken into the first team to Liverpool, a record transfer fee received of £10M with a 40% sell on clause. Sidy DIagne - Sold for £10M plus 40% sell on Also out went Anthony Lala a young and potentially talented LB to Lorient for £275K and the out of favour and getting on a bit Pape Paye left on a Free to Bourg en Bresse We didn't bring anyone in but we have made two Free signings joining 1st July 21 A replacement for Diagne and likely starter next season with great potential:- Someone to provide depth to the team and be allowed time to grow:- The club finances are now looking so much better. The sale of Diagne has mean't we could stabilise the wage budget and get a couple of important contracts sewn up Here's the League Table - Looking good for Sochaux Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Beckham Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 Royer has scored 20 goals now in 23 games and still got half the season to go. I am currently 4th in the league, neck and neck with Marseille on points who are 3rd, PSG has 49 points and Lyon have 50 points. I can't see me getting higher then 3rd place.

Jogo Bonito Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Royer and Metz are rocking along very nicely. Keep it up, hopefully you can get a Champions League spot. I'm about to begin pre-season friendlies, I think my incoming business is already complete though, I have resisted temptation with upgrades and have made just one definite first team signing. Does anybody know how to easily register your Ligue 1 squad with some extra players without moving all the 2nd Team players to the first team squad and then moving them back out after registration? I have about 20 players in my 2nd team that I would like to stay there, but I also want to have them registered for the main squad as a contingency. Last year I registered only 25 players, and when I had an injury crisis in the last week or two, I couldn't call up and register any of the 2nd team. No wonder some of them had been miffed all season that I hadn't registered them... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
