^Haha, buy it just for the celebrations. 14 might be on sale at some point.

Been slow.

So:

1 Goal of the Month



USA win the U20 World Cup

Seraph and bblues win monthly awards.

Shu has another impressive cup game.

Seraph, the hope of a nation.

Out of the two things I know about this game, one is that if South America or Europe doesn't win, something's up. How unlikely is this, on a scale of "damn Yanks" to "WW3 declared on USA by rest of world"?

But is that % for shots -> goals? The % on this is just for shots on target ÷ shots taken. You might never actually score a goal even if you have 100% on target.

It's extremely unlikely right now. It's a growing sport in the USA, and if it ever breaks through properly, USA could be big players in the future. The Women's team are one of the best in the world right now (won the Olympics, 2nd in the last World Cup).

Anyways, long time, no update. Let's change that.

End of season - Premier League.
Amazingly close in the battle for CL places, unlike the relegation battle. Bobryk makes the bench for team of the year.

End of season in Portugal.
Hulk is an animal. Kirant wins defender of the year, and books his place in the team of the year.

End of season stats:
Kirant - Solid, although I do think he'd be a better CDM.
Seraph - Man, maybe you are the super sub. Great record for Ireland though.
bblues - Not worth the masses of cash most likely, despite playing every league game.
Bobryk - Not the same heights as last season, but probably the best player.
Blazer - I think he's the football equivalent of Taken 2
Fish - Unsurprisingly, the U19s league is shit.
Shu - I have no clue. Madrid should invest in loaning.

On to the Summer, and World Cup time!

Groups:
USA - Argentina are an irresistible attacking force. USA only brought Bobryk out of the four. Public outcry over no Fish is growing (lol, Altidore).
England - Tough group, Colombia for dark horses. Can Mancini's men make it?
Canada - France are by far the best here, and Canada could get results against the other two.
Ireland didn't qualify this time.

A brief bit of transfer rumours. Never give up, do they?

1st game results:
Argentina - USA: Not the best start. But it was a decent game. Altidore was terrible.
England - Colombia: bblues missed an open header (accurate to real life), Ashley Cole basically did this, and Falcao tapped it in. CLASSIC ENGLAND.
France - Canada: I did say they were the best in the group.

2nd game results:
USA - Scotland: Should be easy, right? Scotland are shit, right? A nice goal by Bobryk though, driven from outside the box (as per usual). USA have got to beat Japan, and either win big, or hope Scotland get demolished.
Russia - England: bblues proves to be instrumental in a key win, which sets up a must-win game against Mexico.
Canada - Belarus: A good win means Canada need only a draw against Senegal to qualify, barring a massive Belarus upset.

3rd game results:
USA - Japan: Get hyped. This is is it! Even the Japanese media think they've no chance!

Er. Japan went full Pearl Harbour to knock them out 3-1 and qualify themselves. Altidore accidentally takes out a small planet when he missed from 2ft.

England - Mexico: A boring prediction. The result was anything but. Back and forth it went, Hernandez and Lennon making the game seem more like FIFA. The 90m penalty actually went to England, Gerrard converting.

A small transfer break. Not again.

Senegal - Canada: In what promised to be a tight affair, Senegal managed to come out on top through an absolute screamer from Diakhate that was absolutely miles out. A late assault on goal from Canada, spurred by Kirant making some marauding runs on the left wing, just wasn't enough.

Another small break. Looks familiar, doesn't it?

Sitting on your arse, not managing really does make you known to the best in the world.

Back to the knockout round!
Italy - England: Italy go in as favourites, according to Italian papers. What a shock. It's with good reason though, as England are hammered.

Hopefully everyone does better come 2018.

Back to the usual, then.

The day we never thought would come. Permit cleared, but that was never in doubt.

Seraph, Shu, and Blazer all sign new deals.

Argentina beat Italy to win the World Cup.

PL starts back up again. Seraph is making an impact for once! Bobryk continues to get paid.

I'm curious if I should subscribe to this "Japanese Football Free Press". They seem awfully self-effacing for a journal tongue.gif

Now to tell the coach to play Seraph all game...that's a pretty nice stat line for him. Not sure if there's any reason to not try him out as a starter for a little.

Soccer is pretty backwards stats-wise. If you had a goals scored to shots taken ratio, it'd be getting much closer to a 10% figure. The stats are around, it's just not in the places you'd like. Here's Chelsea as a team atm:

user posted image

The team average is just under 11%, with the worst having a rate of just 2% (poor Douggie Costa, he's one of my FM faves), although it'd be nice to get heat maps for it over the season, as opposed to manually checking over each game.

And here's Bobryk for the season so far:

Having such a low percentage isn't a surprise from midfield though - bblues is at 3%, and you can see why at times:

That goal is in the realms of ridiculous, and is going to miss most days if tried on a regular basis, hence the 3%.

Anyways, I'll try and bring up the more detailed stats screen for future seasons in addition to the regular one.

Whatever image of a 'flamboyant' player you're generating in your mind, it's most likely on the money.

Small Update:

Ah. Hockey qualifies shooting percent as, in those definitions, (goals)/(shots on goal). So Bobryk's shooting % would be ~22% (8/36). Typical shooting % is 10-15% for forwards, 6% for defence. So, yeah.

Interesting that hell froze over/Seraph got lent when we started talking about this. We need to do that more biggrin.gif

EDIT - Holy crap. I didn't read Fish's stats properly the first time. Best goals/game ever.

Ahahahah, classic FIFA. Yes, U19 football is pretty much that for the vast majority of players, and the difference in quality between you and some of them is probably something like this.
