St. Pauli: Skull and Crossbones

Great stuff, you've made it in the 1st season of the BuLi! The EL qualy's and group stages should bring more money.

Matches

July 30, 2015 - Europa League Third Qualifying Round First Leg
St. Pauli 4 - 2 Maribor

Maribor played hard but St. Pauli's passing was too much and one of their players was red carded for a very clumsy tackle and that opening allowed St. Pauli to build up a two goal advantage.
Player of the Match: Amir Kolaric (Maribor)
Injury Update: Hannes Van Der Bruggen suffered strained ankle ligaments due to the red card tackle and will miss 3 weeks.

August 2, 2015 - DFB-Pokal First Round
Sandhausen 2 - 4 St. Pauli

Another comfortable win, Rzatkowski and Chevalier scored two goals apiece.
Player of the Match: Evan Chevalier (St. Pauli)

August 6, 2015 - Europa League Third Qualifying Round Second Leg
Maribor 1 - 5 St. Pauli (St. Pauli wins 9 - 3 on aggregate)

St. Pauli's demolition of Maribor continues, with the only blemish being Winston Reid's own goal when the game had already been decided.
Player of the Match: Bruno Petrovic (St. Pauli)

St. Pauli draws Genk in the Europa League Playoff.

Transfers

In

Gianluca Maria, free transfer
Joe Ledley, 2 million

Out

- John Verhoek has been sold to NAC Breda for 425K. He is not part of our plans and it's nice to get a useless contract off the books.
- Christopher Nothe has been sold to Kaiserslautern for 325K. In order for him to take a lesser contract, we will still be paying him 3.2K a week but it's a far cry from his current salary.
- Michael Gregoritch will sign with Cottbus for 300K.
- Philipp Zeireis to Paderborn for 275K.
- Mike Griffin on season long loan to Crewe.

Great update mate, like it. Might need to change that defense or goalkeeper? You concede waay too much.

Matches

August 9, 2015
St. Pauli 1 - 3 Leverkusen

Unfortunate match for us, we scored in the first minute but couldn't add any more goals to our account, and Leverkusen scored on a lob and an indirect free kick.
Player of the Match: Andriy Yarmolenko (Leverkusen)

August 15, 2015
1860 Munchen 1 - 3 St. Pauli

Franko Andrijasevic had a goal on his debut but it was Bruno Petrovic who pulled the strings today with three assists.
Player of the Match: Bruno Petrovic (St. Pauli)

- Gianluca Maria tore his hamstring in training and will miss 2-3 months.

August 20, 2015 - Europa League Playoff First Leg
Genk 1 - 1 St. Pauli

St. Pauli just couldn't put the ball in the goal here, as with all their effort they only scored once (and once for the other team).
Player of the Match: Anele (Genk)

August 23, 2015
St. Pauli 1 - 1 Schalke

Kenny Otigba gave St. Pauli an early lead by volleying in a free kick, which they couldn't hold. Still, they held Schalke to a draw.
Player of the Match: Winston Reid (St. Pauli)

August 27, 2015 - Europa League Playoff Second Leg
St. Pauli 4 - 0 Genk (St. Pauli defeats Genk 5 - 1 on aggregate)

St. Pauli did what they had to do in dominating fashion, as Bruno Petkovic scored a hat trick and St. Pauli came away with a big win and advance to the Europa League Group Stage.
Player of the Match: Bruno Petkovic (St. Pauli)

Europa League Group Stage Draw

Transfers

In

We've signed promising American center back Phillip Foose from Real Salt Lake on a pre-contract. He'll join when his contract in MLS ends January 1 and we will put him in a proper football league.

Here's another player who will help in center midfield.

This hot prospect's most recent club was AFAD Djekanou, look at dat determination!

Cedric Evina will help with the left back depth with the sudden departure of Juan Fuentes.

A free agent, he will also help cover the loss of Fuentes.

Out

- Guillaime Loirot has been sold to Evian TG for 190K. He wasn't going to be played at St. Pauli and he gets to return to France, so it's a good deal for everyone.
- Juan Fuentes sold to Hannover for 2.7 million (that includes 2 million that will be paid out in installments) because he was unhappy and he hadn't developed as I would have liked.
- Florian Kringe has been sold to FSV Frankfurt for 45,000, mostly installments. It was time to get him off the books.

Nice signings!

Good luck in B.L
