villarule123 Posted November 6, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 6, 2013 My first 2 games were a 3-1 home win against Norwich (Gabby hatrick) and 0-0 at Arsenal. Think it will be a struggle to stay up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) My second season at Groningen and I'm still unbeaten in all competitions since March 2014. Top of my Champs League group which consists of Bayern, Lyon and Basel without conceding any goals getting 3 wins. Also top of the league with 9 wins and 3 draws, only let 7 goals in. Oh and I signed Victor Valdes Edited November 6, 2013 by samjp26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and I signed Victor Valdes Have you been playing Richairo Zivkovic? If so, hows he doing? Signed him for Villa for free (£575k Comp) and he's been a pretty decent impact sub for me so far, and 5 star potential too. He's scored 1 goal in 4 sub appearances, pretty decent for a 17 y/o. With him, Grealish, Tielemens, Graham and the other youth prospects, Villa's future is very bright on my save Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With him, Grealish, Tielemens, Graham and the other youth prospects, Villa's future is very bright on my save As you can see, he hasn't been getting many games this season but that is primarily down to my strike partnership of Francisco Alcacer and David Texeira. I'm trying to train him into a complete forward, this season focusing on his physical training primarily as he needs to bulk up a bit more. His speed is immense as you already know and I reckon over this season/next season he'll break into the team. I've just started putting him onto the bench (again as you can see from the stats above) so probably after Xmas I'll be starting him more. Worth a mention that Leandro Bacuna's little brother looks like an absolute gem, another player I'll probably be bringing into the first team this season! My average age is 23 and my aim is to keep this bunch together so they can all grow as a unit. Francisco Alcacer is somebody I recommend to everybody by the way, guy is a tank.

villa4europe Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 started an easy one as real Madrid to get used to it all, sold benzema for £44m bought lewandowski for £20m... is it me or has just about everyone's ratings gone down? my assistant reports seem incredibly harsh, on 13 I used to sell anyone under 3 stars and only buy players with a minimum of 4, started games as arsenal, psg and now Madrid and all of them have around 60% of the squad rated as 2 1/2 stars also I don't think the guy who gives the Madrid ratings likes khedira! really poor stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Dont pay too much attention to star ratings, so many absolute gems that will have 2-3 star ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you managed a second tier side these players would have really high star ratings, but since they're are average compared to the other Real Madrid players, they get 2.5 stars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Played first 7 games with Villa, sit 5th in the league and reached carling cup q/f. In the league I have won 4, drawn 2 and lost 1 to chelsea at the bridge. Just spanked Liverpool 3-0 with tekkers and a gabby brace. Man City appear to be taking the piss on my game and are 7 from 7, I have got them next !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) My board are extremely tight, after two consecutive doubles and Groningen's first ever Champions League trophy, they still only offer me £300k transfer budget. They are however expanding the stadium and improving both the youth and training facilities so I can't complain. Sold 3 of my players this Summer for around £20m, allowed me to bring in a few young potential wonder kids as well as Alvaro Morata and Cristian Tello. Third season and my FC Groningen team looks like this: Average age is down to 22 now, without Valdes and Annan it should be down to 21 I think.
