Team's original formation was a big negative for wingers so I had to sell a few players to buy my wingers.

Decided to go add some Carribean mix into the team with Leigh and Pierre (not to mention Wildin already being here)

Pierre was acquired on loan with an option to buy, he was only around 250k to settle that deal. Grew 5+ this year :)

Thomas was bought in a trade for Piergianni (30 year old veteran) and 250k from Charlton, nice depth.

Peltier was only for 350k since he's 35. Mainly for short term depth.

Knoyle is a personal one, quick pacey RB that was my go to man for FIFA 19, felt like bringing him back since he has some decent growth. Got to a 66.

Leigh is somebody I was looking to add to that Carribean mix that was also in England. Pretty simple. Had +1 growth.

Jaiyesimi was transfer listed so I took the opportunity and got a normal 2 year loan from Charlton. Very productive to List and Norris! He was one of the crucial pieces for us this year. Grew 3+ (68) not sure if we'll be able to buy him next season though.

No wingers so Soisalo was bought for free which is a very good plus. Can also play on the left if for whatever reason Azcona or Gomis wasn't available.

Same case with Gomis, exchanged one of our 61 overall's for him and he was mainly a mix of LW and Striker. Azcona kept him benched most of the time though.

Azcona was a player I personally saw the at CONCACAF U-20 tournament in 2022. He was a must get, and thankfully I didn't have to pay as Inter Miami listed him for loan. He grew a lot this year and he had 8 assists this year with 4 goals.

Morgan was another player from Charlton that I bought in exchange for a player and 750k. Was worth it as he grew to a 68 and we lost without him.

Got rid of every striker except Smith so I bought a free agent striker from Cyprus with 70 potential and loaned a youth striker from Newcastle.


Rest of players are already on the team


Overall we placed 2nd in a tie with Bradford. Norris was our best man, with 16 goals finishing just 3rd in the top scorers. List was behind him with 9 and strangely enough Georgiou had 5 goals in his 16 appearances.

We got to the 3rd round of the Carabao Cup and lost to Millwall 3-2 overall.

Papa John's trophy was so close! We lost in the final to Oxford 2-0.

FA Cup was awful, we had some injuries which knocked us out to Reading 3-0.

Jaiye had 9 assists in a close race with Azcona with 8 for top assister. Campbell had 6 and Morgan had 5

Pierre kept 9 clean sheets which isn't too bad for a new keeper!

Defense did okay, Thomas ended up becoming the eventual starter though so now I may need to figure out my CB situation.

Overall think this is a decent start, wanna lay off the foreign players and look domestically. Maybe the rare international but besides that only England players.
