Season 2 Voller Squad End of Season

Well Season 2 draws to a close with just a couple of games left. The target was top tier for season 3 on a fairly strict wage budget.

Apart from Stage 1 in the EFA we started slowly so it looks like it is going to be 2nd / 5th and 7th ish. The high point was a second major cup final a narrow 1-0 defeat in the end saw us finish runners-up. Although disappointing in a way better to have loved and lost etc.

Now the focus switches to an attempt to secure Premiership football next season. So time to consider what I'm after in wage auction and how much I'm going to spend.



GK Tommaso - He was in the pool not super sexy but a safe pair of hands in goal, only 29 so many seasons ahead.
DR - Friday a natural DC but DR as well can't jump so poor Averages still often a commanding presence though.
DL- Contreras Shaky start though I had made a mistake here but likes to get forward and has improved no end.
DC - Lejko A good jumper so solid Av rating but still gets his foot in I'm a little concerned his lack of raw talent will see him exposed at a higher level. Maybe need someone here.
DC - Fumo very solid not a major worry 31 next season but he'll start next season for sure.
MR - Vrdolijak Still young at 24 can cause problems for many defences and contributes the odd goal.
ML - Menseguez - Can play ML MC and FC 31 next season my plan is to leave him go at 32. Will start next season and bench him at 32. Sure to feature regularly though due to his ability to play in so many positions.
dMC - Palavecino A monster a natural DC so maybe a new DM could be signed and this guy put into defence.
MC Fernandez - Low influence I don't like in the middle of the park but everything else said buy. Slow start from him but a commanding presence now who can open up a defence with the perfect pass. 28yo so many seasons ahead.
FC - Valeri a cheap wage auction signing and delivered and then some. Kids who'll rock tomorrow are all very well a 29yo who's proven on a low wage is a banker.
FC - Cisse - What an odd player, he's a poor mans Messi goes on these hazy runs. Last season it often ended in nothing, now though will often play the killer ball.

So mission accomplished for season 2 the entire focus now is on a natural left footer DC.

Although the ME has issues every player is unique, they do good things and bad things and they do it at different times. That is what keeps me playing the game this uniqueness in players.

Meanwhile in Coppell the corner has been turned although it's stupidly uncompetitive. I have young players there who would make your eyes bleed on base wage.

Light relief...... Tactical chat in Voller.

Tickled me that did.
