Good wins against City and Everton :) Good luck for Europa final

Champions of Europe... kinda

PSG 0-0 Liverpool (0-2 AET)

The biggest game of the season has arrived, the Euro Cup Final. Disaster struck the reds after 27 minutes as Kop Legend Steven Gerrard had to be subbed due to injury. The 68th minute proved the congestion in the fixture list as another injury occurred this time to in-form Lucas. The last minute of the game brought heart attacks among many Reds fans as Alex hit the bar!! But 90 minutes over and no goals. GOAL, top goalscorer Luis Suarez puts Liverpool head in the 98th minute. Game Over, Joe Allen seals the trophy in the 110th minute. Incredible, the fans are ecstatic as is manager Roberto Martinez. The ex-Everton man has surely earned the respect of his new crowd now. Martin Skrtel was awarded MOTM for his tough defending.

Premier League Final Day


Liverpool 5 - 2

A great finish to the season from the reds which secured 7th spot. Steven Gerrard made the team due to Martinez gambling and choosing to give him injections to get through the game as he will have a long rest afterwards. This proved vital for the win as he scored the first two goals of the game in the first 10 minutes. Fletcher then made it 2-1 but Daniel Agger scored two goals from Gerrard corners in the next 20 minutes. Suarez rounded it off to 5-1 in the 61st minute before Rose scored the final goal to make it 5-2. Gerrard MOTM to finish a great run by Martinez and his men and to relegate Sunderland and save Everton.

Everton surviving by one point..
You finished off nicely with the Europa League win, and qualification for next year's tournament. Do you anticipate yourself being able to challenge for a top 4 spot this coming season, or is that still a bit far off?

Transfer ideas as well?

I hope for top 5 finish to be completely fair, I'm in need of a LB and maybe a CB too. I'm hoping for a big budget as no money was spent in the full season and debts are nearly gone so lets hope for some improvement!

Perhaps Georgi Schenikov? (CSKA) would definitely be brilliant for several years as your LB. And why don't you try to develop Danny Wilson as a CB? Would definitely be a cost saving measure

Transfer Budget


The huge unexpected budget has come as a suprise. Maybe it is something to do with the profits the club has made over the past year.

Martinez is said to want a new left back, center back and center mid for the new season. Nkoulou from OM is said to be favorite for the first signing to be a center back.

Wilson at a potential of 3 stars and CA of 2 isn't good enough and would be a downgrade from Agger...

Ugh, he used to be better in FM11.

Why are you looking for a CB if you have Agger and Škrtel. Wouldn't Wilson be okay back-up? Play him against the weaker teams?

Agger has reached his full potential of 3 stars so I am looking for a younger more potential defender. Transfer update tonight!

The Squad

Great updates since my last comment ;)
Congratulation on Ligue Europa win, and very interesting transfers. I'm sure Pogba, El Shaarawy and Nkoulou will be keyplayers for you :)
Nice updates and very solid signings! Just read through the last 2 pages and brilliant to beat Everton and to qualify for Europe! Keep it up! :D
Great job getting into Europe and winning the Europa League! The signings are class, and N'Koulou and Shaw should really shore up your defense, while Shaarawy, Pogba, and Leitner should really help improve the midfield. I see Champions League qualification for next year! )
