Butland (70)
Clyne (77) - Kirchoff (77) - Yoshida (74) - Shaw (64)
Ward-Prowse (70) - Zuculini (72)
Redmond (71) - Ramirez (81) - Lallana (81)
Mayuka (76)

Ramirez is the star of the team. Ball control is at 90, dribbling at 88. I'm literally walking past defenders with him. Lallana is also up there, with ball control 85 and dribbling 86. I brought in a few talents (Butland, Kirchhoff, Zuculini and Redmond) as I thought those positions weren't filled up well. Cork and Schneiderlin both get enough minutes, though, as Ward-Prowse and Zuculini quite often get subbed when their stamina hits yellow. Kirchhoff has pretty good passing, so when the opposition is just one down and pressing high up the pitch, I can use him to start a counter attack. Mayuka's pretty lethal. He lacks strength and aerial skills, but he's fast, has good balance and a pretty damn good shot (finishing 80).
Now I got this thing going on with Clyne (same happened with Oxlade-Chamberlain with my Arsenal career) that he wants a new contract. I give him exactly what is suggested he wants and he rejects. Soon he'll probably start bitching around wanting to go elsewhere. Such a pain in the ass these things. He's got more than three years left on his contract too. Has this ever happened to anyone?
I'm first in the league, btw. Yes, with this as first team. I play at World Class, adjusted sliders. Guess I'll have to change to Legendary soon, as my goal was to avoid relegation and get to the quarters in the FA Cup (I'm in the semi-finals).

BladeGunner wrote:Awesome. I love reading your CM Updates, JK. I haven't had any problems like the one you had with Clyne but Sandro asked for a raise midway through the season for me. He accepted straight away though.

I finished my first season with Tottenham. Got fourth even though the board set me an objective to win the league (a bit unrealistic for Tottenham, no?). I lost in the semi-final of the FA Cup and got demolished by Inter in the first knockout round in the Europa League. I guess I was quite lucky to keep my job but I prefer things to be challenging (I played every single competitive game with the whole thing on Legendary with adjusted sliders). I bought Luis Muriel (god-like stats) as an upgrade for the aging Defoe and Adebayor, and Michel Vorm as cover for Lloris since Friedel retired. Squad looks like this:

Lloris(89)
Walker(82)_Kaboul(82)_Vertonghen(83)_Assou-Ekotto(79)
Cabaye(83)_Sandro(81)
Dembele(83)
Lennon(82)_Muriel(80)_Bale(89)

Vorm(81)
Naughton(75)_Dawson(80)_Caulker(77)_Mbaye(74)
Parker(78)_Huddlestone(78)
Sigurdsson(79)________Dempsey(83)
Defoe(81)_Adebayor(82)

Plus Livermore(75), Falque(76) and Rose(75).

We started the division with 1 point in the first 3 matches, and 3pts after 5, but we won the last 5 in a row and finished one point shy of the title.

lovely . With some of the people I've played with they would never think about passing that.

Brought in Guidetti on loan to cover him while he's out.

Played 3 games and all 3 games it looked like my opponent had an extra man in midfield.

Still won 4-2 though
