I've never really been able to get much out of narrow formations, so I fully endorse this narrow destruction of Scotland you're carrying out.

Its like a battering ram. The majority of attacks come down the middle, obviously, and occasionally from the wingbacks. It probably helps that I have a Drogba like player as my targetman. He has good (for Jock League One) technical and psychical stats but his mental stats are like that of a house plant.

Also, I cannot tell if I should keep Adama Traore or not.

I can't work out if these stats are good or not? On the face of it, for a winger he's not technically or physically too bad, but, even though the game doesn't seem to highlight any of them as important, his mental stats 

He's got good technical stats, so he'll take it around some defenders, do a few stepovers and swing in a cross for a player to head home... once. Those mentals are horrible.

[Arjen Robben]

Yeah, I don't think he's actually done anything of note on the few occasions he's played either. 2 goals, 2 assists. Valued at £9m so I think I'll just try and cash in on him.

[Baddar]

Those mentals are mental.

[Arjen Robben]

What is Asier Villalibre like on anyone else's (who's some way in to the future) game? I've signed him because I wasn't going to pay £8m on a 31 year old Negredo to make that permanent, and Villalibre has scored 17 in 19 by November. Negredo scored 18 in a whole season.

I think they prefer to be called spastics these days

[Arjen Robben]

Guys, I think one of my scouts is Brian Kendrick.

[Baddar]

At least he's got a plan.

[MDK]

Fucking stupid board. You sell my best player, player of the year and Jock League One player of the year for 26k (!!!) because we need the money but then the next day you inject 120k into the club. You absolute fucking bastards. I might quit.

[MDK]

And now the injury fairy has sprinkled her shit flavoured glitter all over my first team. Yeah, cheers for that.

[Arjen Robben]

I have forced Guzan, Leadbitter and Downing in to retirement this summer by offering them jobs as coaches which they accepted, which seems fair enough given their age and declining.

But I also did it to George Friend, who was only 30, and he still accepted, haha. Sort of wish I hadn't really. George

I wish you could get players out of retirement if they aren't ancient

Well fame they say can be a serious earner,
So put your great unknown on the afterburner,
The story so far is one hell of a mess,
So come on let me lead you through the wilderness,

Fat Brian Kendrick or Washed Up Porn Star Brian Kendrick?

Thanks for the like, @Noah. It deserved more.

People are afraid to like your posts, because it might cost them their membership of the EWB IT crowd.

I would be so far gone after that. Not even worth bothering.

I would have but I have built up a nice enough squad to survive this season and hopefully get our professional status back. The annoying thing is that I bought a replacement for about the same amount of money. It doesn't make sense.
