Attendances up from 14k to 22k, won our last 5 in a row, scoring 9 and conceding 2. 17th place with 46 points, 8 to play.
Signed Le Fondre for £775k in the summer. Pretty pleased with that. Team now: Loach; J.Hunt, Wilson, Clarke, Cresswell; Martin, Goulon, Gillett, Goossens; El Kabir, Le Fondre.
Have a ridiculous injury list. Playing in the FA Trophy, bring in my substitute left winger as my main one is a bit tired, he gets injured within 4 minutes and so I have to bring on my main left winger, so much a week. So many injuries and they're all one month+, but want to keep the weekly wages down, so can't afford to get replacements. Fun.
I'm having similar issues right now. Le Fondre is now out for 4 weeks, as is Goossens, and I can't get anyone in. I'm operating on a 21 man squad though. Gotta hope El Kabir can step it up now. Not really comparable to being a semi-pro club though, that's a right pain. As I found out with Dartford.
Finally bought it. Ye gods, the change in interface is annoying...sure it's been well-tested and all of that, but the rearrangement of the menus (particularly the training menu) is annoying to decipher.
Ugh Gaston will never progress in my game, 2 seasons down and he is out for his 3rd 3/4 month stint on the sidelines.. Injuries seem to only occur to my key players, never has say, Steven Davis or Lee or Mayuka had anything. But Weiss, Lallana, Gaston, Clyne and Zouma are being raped by them..
I keep having Gaston taken out, too... Lallana and Clyne are fine (though Clyne has been dropped) but Gaston keeps getting cripped.
Its infuriating to know he has a huge PA, yet he wont get anything close to it as in 2 years, half of them have been on the treatment table!!
Gaston has had no serious injuries for me, and I'm in 2016. As a matter of fact, none of my key players have been badly injured (touch wood). Just the way the cookie crumbles I guess! Sod's law Rodriguez will break his leg in the next game! I would be ****ed if that happened!
Ramirez just tore a calf muscle, out for four months. Step up young Chambers. Also, the 5* PA centre back is already progressing massively. Already good enough for the Championship, I can see him breaking into the team by the end of the season. please log in to view this image
Rodriguez is also on fire. Had a great run of form towards the end of the season when Rickie was injured, and now he's got like 4 goals in the first 4 games. For the record, Rickie got 17 goals in 30 games last season.
I also have Luuk de Jong, Jay Rod and that awesome newgen I posted a couple of days ago out, so loanee Mason Bennett is starting up top for me.
My team has suddenly gone anti-football. I'm winning games 2-0 or 3-0 most of the time, but I'll have had 7 shots 4 on target while opposition will have 4 shots 1 on target or similar. Boring wins ftw!
Everyone in my team seems to be twisting their ankle, but no torn calf muscles I'm afraid. 10 games in... Won - 5 Drawn - 3 Lost - 2 Scored - 14 Conceded - 8 5th place. Le Fondre has 5 goals in 5 games.
