In this post I will tell you about my league + FA cup results in the January-March 2013 period. I’ve also bought 2 new players in the winter transfer period and sold 2 players.

Transfers

Kyle Walker is a very talented right back and has played for the English national team in RL recently. In my game he has been called up for the senior squad but hasn’t played yet. He is an amazing signing for us and is much better than Luke Young or Ondrej Kusnir. Cédric Bakambu is a talented striker and will be 3rd choice there behind Samuel Armenteros and Yaya Sanogo. I will upload the profiles of both players at the end of this post.

Jeroen Tesselaar (DL) was unhappy and because of bad performances, I decided to sell him. I bought him for 190K earlier so we’ve made a profit. Luis Morán (ST) sucks so I sold him. Also a small profit here: 6 months ago I paid 750K for him so I made a profit of 150K on him.

Premier League

Very impressive period, we managed to defeat our biggest rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge with 4-1! I’d say that it is my best FM 2012 result so far. I’m really proud of my team, we managed to beat big teams like Chelsea and the Spurs and we still win every game against the weaker teams, really impressive how my team just stays focused and get the result we want. The match against Man City was very poor, but those things happen.

Let me show you the screenshot of the Chelsea match:

2 early goals by Beerens and Bjelland gave me a comfortable position and despite the countless Chelsea attacks that followed, we managed to stay up front and even score the 0-3 with Jack Collison. The second half was boring: Chelsea looked like they gave up. Torres did score but Chelsea never really impressed in that 2nd half. A couple of minutes before the last whistle Sanogo even scored 1-4 and made things worse for our biggest rival!

The league table:

In 4th position! If we can keep this, we will go into Champions League! That would be amazing

FA Cup

Still no cup for us… York was easily beaten (I was angry though because of 2 goals conceded..) and West Ham wasn’t that hard either, but Liverpool were too strong and managed to beat us at Loftus Road.. They did deserve it. We fought our way back from 0-2 behind to 2-2, but Liverpool took over again and scored 3-2 via Luis Suarez. We got knocked out by the same team as last year!!

Player statistics

I have 2 amazing strikers. If superstar Sanogo can’t play because of an injury or something, Armenteros takes over and is just as good! Friedrich and Chadli are also very good and the others are very constant. Walker is playing good for us, there is room for improvement but he ain’t bad!

Player of the Period

Nacer Chadli has been amazing for us this period with important goals and assists and good overall performances. Sanogo missed most of the games this month because of an injury but Chadli and also Samuel Armenteros stood up and we proved that we don’t rely on just Sanogo. I hope Nacer will keep this up!

Profiles of new players

Here are, like I promised, the profiles of Bakambu and Walker:

Nice, cheap backup striker with good potential. Only 625K because of expiring contract!

Awesome DR for us, did cost us some money but hopefully totally worth it! A 7.02 in his first 10 matches isn’t bad but I hope he’ll improve in the rest of the season. I really like the fact that he is really quick!

So that was all for now! See y’all later!
