Hootieleece Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Just now, Travis Bickle said: I think it schedules later than usual which is why I am not seeing it yet. The big teams started playing in January. The World Cup made the 2022-2023 season hectic to say the least. I ended up playing a minimum of 7 matches a month January-May 2023, because of Euro Cup 1+2, French Cup, and Ligue1 scheduling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just say depth is going to be a priority for this season lol. Especially playing 3 weeks straight of CL games. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jogo Bonito Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) Good evening all. I've just posted another update at FC Lorient which takes us to March 2021. We have slipped a little (not a surprise) but still very much ahead of where we thought we would be at this time of season 2.

Hootieleece Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 More from Clermont... Not a horrible start, but lack of goals is worrying. I decided to highlight someone other than Jaby. A player who is finally getting a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jogo Bonito Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I always comment on FMCU but will add a post here to break your sequence of posts You're still in with a good chance of European football, and punching above your weight again. I'm in March 21 at Lorient and have just made myself a cracking signing for next season. The new player is 22 years old, French nationality, valued at £4.6 million and I've picked him up for £1.9 million on wages of £6,000 until June 2025. Really very excited by this transfer deal 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hootieleece Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I won't post my next month here then.... already up at FMCU. Just for laughs...my backup GK. He has been my best player other than Jaby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say carry on as you are Your keeper looks alright, but I would probably not expect him to be a Ligue 1 and Euro star. Jaby is doing very well every time I look.

I brought in a bigger, faster, stronger Croatian midfielder for depth, and stupidly promised him a lot of playing time...and the Assman thinks he's better.

The things we have to say to get transfers completed sometimes I've completed 34 of my 38 games now, so the update may be tomorrow instead of tonight. I almost made a second signing ready for the new season, another bargain. But I foolishly cancelled it as there is somebody I wanted more (unfortunately at three times the fee) who doesn't currently want to entertain talks even after a fee has been agreed with his club. The player I have probably lost was definitely a good value signing - Felix Eboa Eboa for £1.2 million and wages of £7,000 per week - but I'm still trying to go for a different name.

I'm delighted. I've bought some fantastic French prospects I'll post later, including a 15 year old who had more than double the next highest scorer in the U19 league.
