End of the Season!

Crazy weekend I had, with few time to play and even less time to write it here, so got to stick to FM and hoping I could come over here later on with a good storie to you...
And I had!

LEAGUE CHAMPIONS



We are the champions!!! Crazy second half of the league season with 0 defeats (as you can see on the calendar), 6 draws and 11 wins. We completely over performed (like I asked the team to it) with more 11 pts comparing our expected points. We still were the best team, but more heart than head in certain matches gave us some really trick performances but still some crazy wins and draws. You may think the tactic was good, but for me it wasn't, so doens't make much sense sharing it with you as we are goint to restart to the next season.

SQUAD PERFORMANCE

As you can see, not many players stood out from the season. Ouedraogo was our best player but only with a 7.10, good but you expect as Champions to have some 7.2/7.3 on key players and we didn't. Our LB (Ouwejan) as another player that was key for us (he's ending his contract so maybe it's time to go for the renewal) with a good amount of goals and assists. To finish this off, Murkin, Muller and Kozuki were players that in certain matches showed up and were very important for us. Gonna take a deep reflection into the squad to check some options with the board as our finances aren't that good!

SQUAD REPORT

Ouedraogo is by far our best player and the rest I think it's pretty mid.. A lot of 3.5 stars players for sure, but don't expect many of them to keep it up as Bundesliga is another level and we really need 3/4 key players surrounded by 3/3.5 stars players to have a good line up. We are going deep on the scout and see if we can find a good striker, a good winger, a good CB and a good FB. At CMs I really think we are ok so not that important position to fill up! Expect a patient market in the next few weeks!

FINANCES

5M it is going to be our budget. Expect around 5-10M in sales, but with only 10% being available I think we will only look to build our salary budget so we can find some really good deals with players arriving for free. We have our positions sorted out, really looking forward to build a good squad and still, keep on tracking the finances, expecting we can improve it so next here we can start to chase some dreams!

Ouedraogo
Our key player, our baby! Fans love him, I love him and he loves Schalke. It's a good love story and we want to take it to next level next year with some really outstanding peformances! Going to build the next tactic around him, around our future unknown stiker and unknown winger! Looking foward to see what can he deliver on Bundesliga as a Mezzala (At)! Let's go Schalke, let's go Ouedraogo!

Going to start the market! Stay tune for the upcoming reply with the next tactic, key players and pre-season!
