June 2011

Bayern is the club we chose, we started at 17 June. Haven't had any matches yet, but I already signed a few players:

Joel Valencia (Real Zaragoza, Free to pick up, but compensation fee: 1.4 Million)
Maxi Rodríguez (Liverpool: 11 Million over 48 months)
James Rodríguez (FCP: 4.8 Million over 48 months)

I needed at least 1 back-up for Robben, our man Of Glass, that has become Maxi Rodríguez.

Next month: 2 Friendly's, and I hope 2 new signigns

just out of intrest why strectch the payments surely your finaces are good atm?

Transfers:
Mario Baletelli (Man City, loan, 30% wages)
Walter Montillo (Cruzeiro, 18.75 Million over 48 months)

@Man_u_Barmy_Amry: I don't need to look at the finances, I need to win the League and go to the next team

August 2011

Matches:
Cup: Sandhausen (A) 1-3 win
League: Leverkusen (H) 3-0 win
League: Hertha BSC (A) 2-1 loss
ECC Quali: Rubin Kazan (H) 4-1 win
League: Hannover (H) 0-0 draw
ECC Quali: Rubin Kazan (A) 1-2 win
League: Mainz (A) 0-2 win

A nice months, despite the Loss, which we should have won. Balotelli lost his Rank 2 place as striker to Giovanni Dos Santos, while Muller is still Injured.

Transfers:

Out:
Olic (Man City 20M)
Tymoschuck (Man City 5M)
Different on Loans (total fee around 1 M)

Players in:
Ganso (Santos, 85Million over 48 months)

My biggest signing I could afford

My team where I start the Competition with (F is First team):

Goalies: Neuer (F), Butt, Sattelmaier
Defenders: Boateng, Breno(F), van Buyten(F), Badstuber, Lahm(F), Rafinha(F), Contento, Pranjic, Can
Midfielders: Gustavo, Sweinsteiger(F), Maxi Rodríguez, Alaba, Ribery(F), Robben(F), Montillo, Kroos(F), Ganso(F), James Rodríguez
Strikers: Gomez (F), Muller, Dos Santos, Balotelli


Just 26 players, so not an enourmous squad as I used to have. There won't be any buying anymore this season.

85 milion for Ganso? Abit toooooo much
Otherwise, great job, but Balotelli won't prove that good.

@crisrko: It is, but I wanted him.

September 2011

Matches:
League: Werder Bremen (H) 1-1 draw
ECC: FC Basel (H) 4-1 win
League: Nurnberg (A) 0-0 draw
League: Augsburg (H) 2-1 win
ECC: Olympique Lyon (A) 1-1 draw

I'm a bit disappointed at the result, we gave away the lead against Bremen and OM, and wer playing badly against Nurnberg.

Place in The League: 4th, 6 points behind stunning Stuttgard
Place in the ECC: 1st, on goaldifference
Cup-round: 2nd

Upcoming month a few Key-fixtures: Dortmunt, Zenit and Hoffenheim

October 2011

Matches:

League: Dortmunt (A) 7-1 loss (Those Idiots will be grilled In my Stadium)
League: Köln (H) 3-1 win
ECC: Zenit (H) 2-1 win
League: Hoffenheim (A) 0-1 win
Cup: Freiburg (A) 0-1 win
League: Freiburg (H) 1-1 draw

My biggest loss ever in 1 match in my whole FM-playing time. I lost 5-1 several times, once a 6-1 loss, but this is outragious. The fines after that demolished the team morale for the Goalie (Neuer), my striker (Dos Santos) and my CD (Breno). and than you have Robbery: those 2 are more in the hospital than I drink Coffee.

Next month: 2 of the last 3 matches in the ECC and nr 1 Stuttgard

November 2011

Matches:

ECC: Zenit (A) 2-2 draw
League: Stuttgard (A) 2-0 win
League: Kaiserslautern 4-0 win
ECC: Basel 2-2 (A) draw
League: Munchengladbach (A) 0-3 win

In the ECC poule i'm currently second with 9 points, OM and I may decide who will take place 1 and who place 2
In the league I climbed out of the deep river: Even stood 9th :S Now alos second with 2 points behind HSV.

Let's hope I can become "herbstmeister"

League: Wolfsburg (A) 0-1 win
League: Schalke (A) 1-4 win
German Cup: Hannover (A) 0-2 win
Friendly: Stade Lavallois (A) 0-2 win

It's getting better with the team, but most of the time is fairer, especially with Wolfsburg and OM.

League Position: 1st (Herbstmeister), 4 points ahead of no.2 Dortmunt
ECC Final Poulestanding: 1st, 1 point ahead of OM
ECC 1st KO Round draw: Inter Milan
German Cup 1/4th final draw: Leverkusen
