Chelsea, to Football Domination

Hi guys, this is my first story on FM 13. I apologise for my name haha^.

Well lets get on.




I am starting a save with Chelsea FC. I am a massive Chelsea fan and i love the club so thats why i have chose them. They have a wide range of brilliant players. I hope that my older, and experienced players to lead by example to i can retain the champions league, FA Cup and win the league once again. I hope i can have a long and successful career with Chelsea.
In my first couple of posts it will just be about my friendly matches, tactics i use, and my transfers in & out of the club.

I welcome anything that you have to say about my story - good or bad, and i would also like any advice you have for me- Thanks.

You nicked the "football domination" part of my title!

I am joking of course. Good luck for this. It will be interesting to see how you do.

Hahaaha;) But thanks for the suppport.

Okay so, im sorry for the long delay but here it is. I have just played all my friendlies and the Community Shield game vs Man City. i am happy with how the team are playing together and i hope it sparks a good start to the season.

Here are my Pre season results:-
VS Chelsea Reserves 2-0
Los Angeles Galaxy 4-2
San Jose 2-1
Portland 1-0
Chivas USA 4-1
New England 3-1

Community Shield- Vs Man City 2-0
I was very happy, apart from the New England game were we lost 3-1, the players just never showed up, and against City when we lost 2-0, the players just weren't at there game. I was very pleased with the performences of Frank lampard, he played very well

These are my two tactics, my main tactic is the 4-2-3-1 formation:-

And my 'back-up' tactic is;-

Here is my Transfer Update:-
Demba Ba- 7 million
Tom Cleverly- 14.25 million
Wilfred Zaha- 6 million (1 mill fee,5 million over 18 months)

Advice is Welcomed...

Good luck with this mate, will be following!

Premier League

Reading 0-2 Chelsea

Teams:- Reaading/ Federici/Martin/Pearce/Mariappa/Harte/Leighterwood/Guthrie/Robson-Kanu/McAnuff/Hunt/Pogrebynak

Subs Used: Karcan, Le Fondre, Gunnerson

Chelsea;- Cech/Ivanovic/Terry/Luiz/Bertrand/Lampard/Ramires/Zaha/Mata/Hazard/Torres

Subs used: Cleverly, Sturridge, Cahill

A good game overall two first have goals from Torres who i had to start as Ba is suspended but he took this chance to grab a goal and keep his place upfront. Mata with the second against a helpless Reading side. A good start to the season going into the next Pl game vs Swansea.

Chelsea 0-0 Swansea

Team Line-Ups:- Cech/Ivanovic/Terry/Cahill/Bertrand/Ramires/Lampard/Moses/Mata/Hazard/Torres

Subs Used:- Zaha, Ba, Cleverly

Swansea:- Daniels/Richards/Williams/Chico/Taylor/De Guzman/Britton/Routledge/Michu/Dyer/Graham

This was a good game. The first have was a good half. Good chances from both sides, John Terry could have put me ahead in 15 minutes but his header grazed the top of the bar. 26 minutes played and Swansea had a chance to go ahead but Cech pulled of an amazing double save. Mata score da wonderfully worked goal but he was in an offsied position so it did not stand. Moses had to go of late on in the second half with an injury. Early in the second half Leon Britton wiped in a cross from the free kick and Ashley Williams header hits the bar. Game ends 0-0. It was a good performence but we just couldnt take our chances.

Really like this story mate. Good writing and presentation. Can't wait for more

What do you guys think about my signings? Are they okay? Any other suggestions from you guys on who to buy? I am thinking of selling marko marin tho?

Chelsea FC 1-2 Athletico Madrid

Team Line-Ups:--

Chelsea XI: Cech/Ivanovic/Cahill/Luiz/Bertrand/Ramires/Lampard/Zaha/Mata/Hazard/Ba

Subs Used:- Sturridge, Romeou, Torres

Athletico Madrid:- Courtious/Silvio/Godin/Filipe/Gracia/Gabi/Adrian/Turan/Rodrigez

Subs Used:- Juanfran, Silva

A shocking start to the game as Ath Madrid score in the second minute through Rodrigez. A minute after they hit the bar with a free kick. But on the sixth minute David Luiz wins the header from mata's corner an =d its in the back of the net, 1-1. Mata off injured in the 40th minute:(. Falcao scores after sily defending at the back.. Dissapointed not to have won this after the Community shield upset.



Champions League Draw: Chelsea, Benfica, PSG, Borussia Dortmand
