Season Five Team

GK Buffon – Well most famous keeper in game and does a fine job.
Navarro – Always have issues with left backs, at the peak of his career now 29 picked up for £1m. This wasn’t value as such but got fed up of looking.
Johnsson – Picked up for £1.8m from Murkinfitters felt he was underperforming there. Flogged Basa for £2.5m who was on nearly double the wage.
Daikite – Been with club since 20 7+ rating every single season and for every single club. He’s not a very good footballer but he’s a very good DC.
Merreta – Broke though this last few seasons he’s a natural DC but solid as right back.
Turan Arda – Cause of much frustration but as he’s aged has got more consistent. If you have a very good left back then you’ll be able to stop the consistent Tarik on the right. If Arda is on form then it’s doesn’t matter what right back you have he’s going to be a handful.
Kallstrom – Bargain £1.8m for a world class MC. Although Montero is getting so good he is actually competing for this spot sometimes.
BRUNO – Well as SI decided he’s 21 and not 20 (like he should be) decided to give him a chance when Pablo left. Pablo was a little erratic and fairly rubbish going forward from the middle, Bruno is more cultured. Makes the odd mistake but as he gets older should improve no end.
Sene – 19 still too young really but rotate this position with Tarik
Tarik – Been with club since the gameworld started is 23 now. Can play up front and do a decent job on the wing though always puts in a performance.
Kim Keun – Comes in for Sene and plays on right is an amazing winger not as consistent as Tarik and top performances are rare but when they come better than Arda.

It’s a never ending job to backfill the U17 team and the search reaches new heights at the start of the season. Nick from Inter had a few kids on the market and I had a scout.

One name kept coming up no matter how I filtered his transfer list. Problem was wages. I don’t mind paying upto £5-6k for a kid but really like to see a bit of a record otherwise the limit is £1k really. Muller was on £1500.

I did want to inject some excitement into the U17 squad though and this kid really started to catch my eye. He wasn’t slow and wasn’t quick he was quite strong for 16yo and had some skills. Very brave, lots of flair, determined, work rate and just right from an aggression point of view.

A deal was done which accounted for his high wage and Muller packed his bags. A few games later he was bringing a smile to my face. A very good footballer with an eye for goal and runs of strikers. The entire team now started to sparkle. I still need a left winger at this level and maybe a bit more depth it’s a never ending attempt to find players. Most fall by the wayside hopefully Muller will come through.
