Gaming The SM RedCafe League

Everton finances: £2.2M (annoying thing is that though unmanaged teams can't lose their players, they can spend the money and inevitably use it to buy the sold players back)

Everton squad:

Best first XI:

Howard (90)

Coleman (90) Mangala (89) Papadopoulos (89) Baines (91)

Witsel (91) Barry (90)

Rodriguez (90) Rossi (91) Vela (91)

Lukaku (90)

Subs: Damiao (90), Son (89), Bernard (89), Osman (89), Illarramendi (89), Distin (89), Ter Stegen (89)
​
League Position: 14th (26 points - 9 points above relegation, 3 points behind 10th, 27 points behind my team)
 
Drew 1-1 vs City. Amazing that this unbeaten run still hasn't ended. Lead has closed to 5 points but I've got a few of the really hard fixtures out of the way.
 
2-1 win over Sunderland.

2 more assists for Iturbe making in 12 assists in 14 games.
 
Good stuff. Won in original league too.

Next match in the league is against QPR but they've got the better record (2 QPR wins, 1 draw, 1 United win)
 
2-1 win v Atletico in original league - 4 wins and a draw in Europe but top spot isn't confirmed yet. As long as I avoid a defeat or lose by one goal in the last game, top spot is sealed.
 
Arsenal in meltdown
 
Beat Shrewsbury Town 8-1. Michu scored 5 goals.

At home to Bristol Rovers in next round.

I'd have strong words with your strikeforce. You had 70 shots, 38 on target and yet only 8 goals :nono:

Had a player playing out of position so not surprising.

Good timing that Aurier had a position change today or I'd have had two out of position.
 
Anyway, everyone knows that Chris Neal is a world class goalkeeper.

Wow, that was fortunate! I'd love a nice rating increase for one of my lads! Could do with some increases before I meet some better clubs in the Cup. Drmic has more goals in all competitions than Lewandowski, and Jovetic put together :lol:
 
Unfortunately Aurier didn't increase, but to change position so that he could play right wing (which he has been doing all season pretty much) as well as keeping his ability to play anywhere in the backline is excellent (I was expecting him to only be able to play RB and RM if there was a change).

Wow, that's great.

I think I'll recall Markovic and Digne. Neither will be able to play in the Cup, but they'll be useful in the Shield. I'd be able to play the following without including some first teamers (bar de Gea):

de Gea (91)

Aurier (88) Papadopoulos (89) Digne (88)

Markovic (88) Eriksen (90) Pogba (90) McCarthy (89) Sandro (89)

Balotelli (91) Michu (90)​
 
Ah, that central midfield :drool: hope Eriksen has a good next season. Been in pretty good form last few weeks.

I've made a fair few at Forest in the past few days. Got rid of some youngsters that weren't getting gametime.

My cup squad for next season will be:

80 Loris Karius, 20
84 Mario Lemina, 20
84 Erik Durm, 21
86 Josip Drmic, 21
85 Leonardo Bittencourt, 20
87 Florian Thauvin, 21
87 Ogenyi Onazi, 21
85 Robin Knoche, 21
87 Aymeric Laporte, 19
87 Benjamin Mendy, 19
86 Vincent Aboubakar, 22

All aged 22 or younger. Hopefully a few will rise before the cup run, but I'm very happy with that. A huge improvement on this seasons cup side. Just need Durm and Lemina to rise and the team will be 85+

So 2 months later...

80 Loris Karius, 20
85 Johannes Geis, 20
87 Aymeric Laporte, 19
87 Benjamin Mendy, 19
85 Robin Knoche, 21
87 Ogenyi Onazi, 21
85 Leonardo Bittencourt, 20
87 Florian Thauvin, 21
89 Roberto Firmino, 22
87 Josip Drmic, 21
86 Vincent Aboubakar, 22

Scuffet would have been a better choice at GK but he's on loan. All of the players listed except Onazi are expected to rise in the next review. Such an improvement from last season (post I quoted was the expected team for this season's cup squad).

Gil (85) Gomes (84) Frey (83) Sabitzer (83)

Cavaleiro (82) Castillo (84) Martial (80)​

Ah yes, my squad has probably deteriorated a fair bit since this though. I'll do an update now.
 
Boucher up to the heady heights of 85 for me. So guessing this is the Ligue 1 review again?

:lol: The same team that lost in the Shield just won 12-1 away. 8 different scorers.

7 players with 10 rating... :lol:

56 shots! 26 on target... :eek:

What the hell was going on with the match engine last night.

My MK Dons cup side won 12-0, Pazzini grabbed 6 goals, we had 66% possession, 64 shots and 36 on target :lol:

Still pissed at the Everton manager, been waiting to sign Immobile for a while and he ended up getting him :(
 
Sunderland on a spending spree in new league... pretty much all players I had earmarked as targets too :lol: (Nasri, McCarthy, Markovic a while back and another one)
