FMRegen27, glad someones enjoying the story and thanks for the offer, maybe I will take you up on that offer one day.
Season 7 - Lets go trough it
It has been a long while since I have gone trough my squad with you guys, so I am going to have it with you now, Have acquired a massive squad in my opinion, especially now that my youngsters are starting to put in performances. First let me give you my formation so you have an image on how I place my players.
Goalkeepers
Have to say I'm pretty satisfied with my goalies, even tho they aren't the best in the world I am pretty sure I have one of the better set of goalies compared to other teams. Szczęsny wants conversations with me from time to time saying he wants to leave the club, that there isn't more for him to achieve at the club, but I always manage to change his mind. Maybe one day I'll let him go and I grab one of the better in the game.
Defenders
I have a good defensive lineup, the only problem is that they are getting old, even tho players are in their prime at around 30 it is still time to start looking for some fresh blood in the defensive lineup. My two last boys I put up there is my youngsters in defense, but they both play on the RB position. Might just be some good players in my youth ranks, will go trough them and see if they are worthy and good enough for a spot among the big boys.
Defensive Midfielders
Now i have a solid defensive midfield, with Papadopoulos and Bongumba, both have many years left to play and they are definitely doing their job in their position. Papadopoulos started out like a cry baby, getting red cards and complaining to me, but that has come to a halt, well, as long as this doesn't jinx it that is.
When it comes to Frimpong, he is really just meat on my squad, he is there to fill my quota on the home grown player rule, he hasn't played a game in seasons, but he never complains, my guess for the reasoning is that no other club is interested in taking him, so no use in complaining.
Central Midfielders
I am well aware that Hazard also is an attacking midfielder, but I use him very often on as a CM in a playmaking role, having him feed the ball to the ones scoring, he is after all my assist king. When it comes to Ramsey, he is a gem also, but has a harder time breaking into the squad, is a damn hard squad to break into and it's kinda a shame that he isn't playing more, but when you have a team that is working out on the pitch there is no reason to start changing that before things get wobbly.
Attacking Midfielders
Here is where my firepower lies, even with my new youngsters. The problem I have in this part of my game is that I simply have too many good players, it's too easy to go after players in this position because you know they are good and have an awesome reputation. Wilshere is my gem in this part, as I have said in an earlier post, he has evolved so much trough the ranks and he still have years to go.
Javier Pastore is having a hard time adjusting to my squad, when I play him he doesn't have the best of performances, witch is too bad for the player who was rated the worlds best midfielder before i splashed way too much cash on him.
Here I have lots of youngsters coming in stirring it up, Tom Duboc has definitely showed that he is ready to go with clinching goals. Slinley has gotten assists and Viana is looking promising.
When it comes to RvP, he is my backup for my backup, yes, he has score goals when he comes in, but he is losing his place in the squad, but he is also 34 years old, so his career is soon over.
Strikers
Much promise in this part of my team too, with Hernandez as my main striker, even tho he has faded a bit lately I have had Niang stepping up his game and started doing the job he is supposed to do, scoring goals. Have promising youngsters lining up here also, take a look at James Dick's physical stats, he is a speed freak, when he evolves I am sure he will become a world leading player, so I am going to work hard on getting him on top.
