They can have it2035 FA Cup Final - Sheff Utd vs Derby
Derby win the FA Cup for the first time this experiment! 3 early goals and then that was it for the game! Sheff Utd couldn't find that equaliser.
A sign of things to come? Will Sheff Utd be extra motivated for big one?

Don't apologise we're about 0.2xg up overall there!
I still feel bad about nicking his favourite manager and then ruthlessly discarding him after he won us back to back leagues.

@Solius is Bellingham injured? Did anyone big get injured for us to drop off so badly in the league?
Genius. We should overspend massively, get a points deduction and double relegation so we can win it again.
Diomande got a stress fracture and will miss the CL Final. Brulmans also missing the final but no other major ones I can see.
Also worth noting that during the season preview Sunderland were only 15-2 to win the league while we were all 7-2 odds.
He's just getting old
Sheff Utd looking like missing Maxwell Basit for the final too. But he's orange so he might play. Bedretdinov definitely misses out though.

Missing our best defenders then. Understand that means usually a team finishes 8th.
Are we getting a youtube video?

Thank goodness for that. Don't think I could have taken Derby doing it!
So far the two League 1 starting sides have been unable to crack the two big trophies.

Sunderland
Sunderland won the Premier League so it will be interesting what alto finds to moan about. His AI signing Wilbur came in January and bagged 7 goals in 20 apps which is solid for an 18 year old. Interestingly looks like Dimoski who alto bought for DM has been moved back into CB due to Pino's good form. Kroupi - Sesko still real killers.

Derby
Derby have the consolation prize of the FA Cup. Was it worth 435m?
A good season overall though with 2nd place, runners up in the CL too. So close but so far. Julianus Hardy has emerged as a top player at DM for them, which is interesting when you think they considered selling him in their chat.

Sheff Utd
Friendship ended with Marco Rose. Now Julian Nagelsmann is my best friend.
Sheffield Utd may have fallen away in the league, but they won the biggest prize of all thanks to King Pino and two Dalipi goals. To think they only signed Dalipi to get back at Arsenal for beating them in a cup match. Interestingly looks like Nagelsmann has gone more attacking and playing Neves in the deepest role instead of Scalvini.

Bolton
The only team not to win a trophy this year
Bolton should be encouraged by their back to back deep runs in the CL though. Maybe the manager change mid season didn't quite work so we'll see what they come up with this summer.
Wanner and Paez continue to be their star players, and in terms of youth they've got Okubu looking quite good!

And the sensible reply…..
alto busy today so likely S13 starting tomorrow. Then we'll try and do 14 on thurs, and a season 15 friday finish to the exp.
Ready to get 90s throwback football on the road.
Season 13 start
Some manager news to start Season 13.
The large headed man finally makes a caf team in the experiment. Can he put a stop to Bolton's continual shortfalls?

We debated this because his favourite formation is 4-4-2. Either it's going to go horribly well or horribly wrong.
Season 13 - Owner Transfers
Owner Transfers
Sheffield Utd plucked for 20yo Nilson from Spurs. The young Brazilian had two solid seasons in the PL before now and looks to be a future superstar. He cost £245.5m
PL Champions Sunderland wanted to inject some speed, and so went for the aptly named Andrea Ferrari at £144m. He's a 25yo 6ft1 LWB.
Derby, looking to bankrupt themselves still, have gone for Endrick. He set them back £242.5m. This team is now an FM wet dream with Endrick, Bellingham, Mikey Moore, Zaire-Emery, Pedri and Lamine Yamal in it. If they don't win the league this experiment I'd be surprised.
Bolton have signed Ricard Sola from Real Madrid. The 22yo Spaniard cost £194m and plays DM or CM.
