What the hell has happened to Neville? He's come of age. Never scored then suddenly two goals back to back, and the assist for the winning EFL cup goal.

YES! Minge scores the winning goal for the EFL cup! What a legend, he took us to Europe he's a hero, he's my hero. I love a bit of Minge. I also love Ralf.

Thanks for the updates Greg, great work as always

Redcafe FC vs Sheff Utd

Redcafe FC vs Southamption U23's (EFL Trophy, not really important)

Redcafe FC vs Chelsea FA Cup
I made sure the team that didn't play them vs the final was fresh and rested for this match. They scored the first goal in the 19th minute, our captain then scored an OG in the 30th to give them a 2-0 win. I threw everything and everyone at them, but the game ended 2-0 and we were out of the FA Cup much earlier than we wanted.


Redcafe FC vs Preston

Redcafe FC vs Port Vale

Redcafe FC vs Portsmouth

Redcafe FC vs Carlisle

Redcafe FC vs Man Utd U23'S (EFL Trophy Final)
A lot of actual U23's in this final, so it should be pretty easy for us to win this. 0712 got us started off in our 2nd final as Leeroy played a beautiful ball in between two defenders, with pace 0712 took the ball on and shot the ball into the net from an incredibly tight angle. Borthwick Jackson then equalized off a header from a corner just before HT. Rooney then scored a penalty after Assman gave it away, Leeroy then leveled it up, heading it home from a corner near the 60th minute. Damien then played in Leeroy, who one time hit the pass inbetween two defenders to a wide open 0712 who was well into the box and easily slotted it home for the lead. We had to finish the game with 10 men as Chuck Norris got injured, AND WE WON OUR SECOND FINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TWO TROPHIES IN ONE YEAR!

Sorry to disappoint everyone, but no June or Jan update this year, we're going to make a quick sprint out of the Championship, with writeups for only Quarter Final + games and games against teams the top 6 of the PL.

June 30 of the year we get promoted to the PL is when you get your next look at your characters, since I want to save time.

What you guys get out of it though is 20 games per day, hopefully, until we're out of the Championship.

Okay, I finally caught up after not checking this thread in the last 3 days. We've made some astounding progress this season, and I hope that @hbgreg can provide us with a June update before we start the Championship just to see where we'll start.

I have some stuff from the end of the League 1 year, but we should have a proper June 1 update for the Championship year by Friday or Saturday.

The first writeup in a longtime, Leeroy got us started off in the 40th minute off a fastbreak goal, Kakugba played him in with a beautiful goal into the box and Leeroy after his disappointing start to this experiment, has been nothing but a superstar and clinical scorer since his breakout year. They then tied it up and got the lead in very quick fashion as our defence started collapsing, Assman almost scored off a freekick but it hit off the crossbar. We went very close twice with Damien and 0712 getting a few big chances that bounced off the crossbar, but Chelsea closed the game out with a goal late on from Fabregas, disappointing game but next year we'll be back better than ever before. We also don't want the League Cup clogging up our schedule.

Cheers greg.

3rd best player last season, nice! Kind of a shame the rotation has never fallen on me getting a game in Europe though.

Are they taking the piss either those awards odds. I'd be having a good bet on last season's players player replicating his form.

Think I need to request a meeting with the manager to play me in my best role to really push on though. ;)
Just like to refer back to this post and say I'd have won a shit tonne of money!

Hmmm, Neville Neville, what can I say? Highest pass completion rate in the league last season, and 2 goals and 8 assists from defensive midfield. But the lowest rating in the squad. FM hates DMs!!!

See I'm getting plenty of playing time this season, which is nice to see. And some solid performances. Still have faith in my boy. He's the unsung hero of the team.

I'm bit of an European specialist it seems. Scoring and assisting well in European Matches, not doing anything of note in League ones.

Thanks for the update, Greg.

I gave a quick Jan 1 update, just an overview of everything. June update with more complete stuff will be out later, probably by the weekend.

Enjoy everyone who's still following this, going full speed again.
