Well we managed to get knocked out of the UFFA youth championships going down 2-1 at home to Kier, 1-1 away. I knew the writing was on the wall when I spotted his narrow formation, which my tactics had always struggled to cope with.
He had some highly paid youngsters as well and I felt they had an edge in quality in the right areas.
Youth form has been sporadic and the latest update seemed to have a dramatic effect on the team. So with the season almost over now is the time for a spring clean.
Fresh clean tactics based on a 4-4-2 formation are used with a few tweaks here and there. I now pick a team with the strongest eleven players on the pitch. Arda is moved into Centre Midfield and Malonga onto the left wing, Rios partners Arda in the middle with Pablo into the right back position.
I haven't quite decided when it's going to happen but Arda is set emerge as a truly a world class player, is it going to be this coming season or the one after?
The 4-4-2 is a classic formation and whilst not being fantastic in any one area should be able to cope with most things thrown at it.
Dundee Rio are on of the first clubs to be faced and only my second ever win over them puts a smile on my face. Kier who just knocked me out of UFFA and ranked Top 5 are next.
Open mouthed as we won 3-0.... The score did flatter us a little. However Arda bursting into the penalty box has such ability you either foul him or you don't get the ball. We all know a foul in the box is not good news!
Still from here on in the results don't matter as we have to build for a new season.
First up is a global strategy and a budget, how sad is this. With Premiership football assured next season we've easily got an income of £230k a day. It's time to be secure some top talent to compliment Wendall's growing prowess up front and maybe another Central Midfielder or Right Back.
Some players I'm leaving go so the current £150k should drop down. I don't mind starting the season with a £200k wage bill before cropping off some.
There are number of youngsters that are great players but ultimately not going to be securing a first team place so I'll be moving these out over the close season. One or two won't sell and wages are over £3k or are older then 25 will be released. I'll just have to take the hit on form.
Finding the right players to slot into my team is vital. Money isn't so much an issue, it's if their the right players.
I'm shortlisting possible MC's and a striker. I've looked around the gameworld and the crazy wages of last season simply have to be rarer now. The top 50 are full of teams with £220k a day wages.
So here is the plan if need be I'm going to get a few players on over the top wages. Find the right one and dump the rest I've worked out canceling a one season contract of £30k is going to cost me £450k.
So I can do that six times and still be cash rich! Ok it's a crazy scheme but with an abundance of money to spend why not!
Actually it's not impossible I lose a couple of players in auction myself. However my thought process on these is simply a question of if their worth their wage demand or not. The one's that I could lose are not worth what their demanding.
So if I can get them on what I've bid or under I win and if someone else wants them but to pay me the Aq fee I win!
I've already shortlisted targets in those positions which actually are either much better or cheaper. There is a saying there are no problems only opportunities and this could happen.
Youth most of the U17 team is already in place for next season as I've been grabbing the odd 15/16 Year Old to fill in the gaps.
Patrick is still only 18, Sene / Tehri will join him in the U19's. With Meretta / Adu / Villano also in the U19's will possibly be the strongest Youth Squad next season.
Under 21's, I'll still have a few emerging talents here, Meretta will feature certainly, Bruno returns from the mighty Reesy Rovers (see Alex I did mention it) and of course Wendall is only 20 now so he'll still be causing a few worries.
A few gaps in the U21 squad mainly on the wings as I'll be losing Malonga and Tarik. A young right back Rodgers still only 19 and with high influence has done wonders this season so I look forward to his progression.
Whilst the Youth comps are an entertaining distraction it's Premiership points I'm after.
I think we should qualify for UFFA at Senior level which is a massive achievement.
Overall the name of this game is to produce something that is sustainable. The surplus cash per day and a nice youth set up should do the trick.
