Some of the youngsters are only 14 as well so they must have some great potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted January 4, 2018 Author Administrator Share Posted January 4, 2018 Game vs Marseille. 3-3 in 73rd minute. Make my third sub to chase the game. LB gets injured. Go to 3 at the back. Defensive mid gets injured so left with 1 midfielder. Main striker gets injured. Lose 4-3 in 93rd minute. PSG next. FML.

What's the difference between players with silver stars and those with gold stars (basically silver is ultra shitty at present compared to low gold stars)?

So current ability for David Lemoine is 'low rating for the senior team'. Potential ability is the range of where they could reach; his is 'superb rating for the senior team - star player' Going down to Rhys Ndzomo - current ability is 'very good rating for the youth team'. Potential ability for him is 'good rating - superb rating for the senior team' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted January 5, 2018 Author Administrator Share Posted January 5, 2018 well what a fucking season it's been! If I finish 7th I should get a European spot because Monaco/PSG have won the domestic cups. I'm at home to Clermont and Montpellier are away at PSG, who are fighting for the title with Monaco. Given at one point I was 18th only in December, had a grand total of 23 injuries since then (mostly in matches), got through to Europa League semi-finals, I think it's been pretty successful!

...Dan Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I thought you'd comfortably qualify for europe after seeing the other table you posted. Injuries ruined that, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted January 5, 2018 Author Administrator Share Posted January 5, 2018 Results since I took over. February by far the most successful month with all but one of 8 games seeing victory. Bit inconsistent after that but still did enough in all competitions to satisfy the board and get myself up the table out of danger and be a bit more competitive.

Injuries ruined that, I suppose. yeah for sure. This is the injury list. Ridiculous amount. Especially so considering from mid-November to mid-January there were 2 games a week, and then the same again from end of Jan to late March. Had to draft in some of the Reserves who, thankfully, weren't too bad in terms of ability so could deputise accordingly. Great thing I've noticed about squad rules is that the only limit on registrations is the amount of foreign players allowed and there's no limit on players overall.

Administrator Stan Posted January 10, 2018 Author Administrator Share Posted January 10, 2018 Impressive. Not even the best teams have done this and in my whole season one of my main strikers has scored 54 goals and got 15 assists in 44 games Carbini I actually bought while at Leicester as well.

Administrator Stan Posted January 12, 2018 Author Administrator Share Posted January 12, 2018 So I've finally won my first major trophy! Woo hoo! Europa League done and dusted with simplicity, culminating in a thrashing of Roma in the final. Stormed in to a 3-0 lead within 15 minutes and then it was just a case of seeing out the game and managing the game with good subs and not getting complacent (emphasised with the team-talk). Pre-season odds to win the competition were 25/1! Handed out some absolute rapings in the group stage. 8-2 and 9-1 wins against Anderlecht. Beat Olympiakos 13-2 in the knockout stage. Far too good for the competition and will be heavily tested in the Champions League. I qualified for the CL via the league finish of 3rd anyway and winning a trophy helped. I promised a few players that we'd win silverware/qualify for the Champions League so 2 birds killed with 1 stone there anyway. Second half of the season was far too inconsistent for my liking. PSG and Monaco romped away after a stuttering start. Some freak results and goal-fests. The 6-5 loss against Monaco I went 4-0 down after 20 minutes I think As for the goals, they flowed and flowed. Only failed to score in ONE game. Joan got double the goals of the next best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted January 20, 2018 Author Administrator Share Posted January 20, 2018 The reign of PSG and Monaco is over. For 16 years their superiority has told in either of them winning the league. Not any more! Haven't won the title but have come so close this season.

The usual suspects at the top all got Champions League football. However, Nice and Bordeaux (5th and 6th respectively) both were denied European football as they couldn't get a license due to financial reasons . Therefore Rennes, Brest and RC Lens (7th, 8th, 9th) all got Europa League places instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you keep your job? yes mate, won the French Cup and qualified for CL which was main objective. My board are tight cunts though. Barely let me have any money each season so will find it difficult to compete with PSG/Monaco in long-term. Means I also have to be more stringent with transfers and look for bargains or sell players before buying. For last 2 seasons percentage of transfer revenue has stuck at 25% which is ridiculous. Only now in pre-season in 2030 have I been able to persuade them to up it to 50%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Dan+ Posted January 22, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted January 22, 2018 Just seen your youth intake at Lyon. No surprise there. I was them once and they get absolutely brilliant youngsters. At Nantes I regularly had players come from my academy to first team. Fantastic set up in France. I think you won the club over when you beat St Etienne 6-0. I've managed on both sides of that rivalry and my god they loved a pop at each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
