Pretty pleased with that given how competitive the top division is - finished in the top four 19 times. I remember being frustrated with the slumps as well as my squad was fine at the time but the tactics which previously worked just stoppedMan United never outside the top 10
It's good to be consistent... unless you're Stockport County which has mostly been last/second to last in Division 5
A long time ago...You're also the first club to win four different major honours.
Forest Humiliate Valencia in Super Cup Final!
Many assumed it was going to be a close game, but Forest yet again demonstrated their talent by demolishing Valencia 5-0. The win marks an astonishing season for Forest winning 4 trophies.
Crazy season 6.
I think this was before squad caps. Had such high hopes for most of these - Goretzka and Stones are the only two still at the club with Stones having a brief period away.
Forest squad has peaked. Youth not progressing as planned. Needs overhaul to even keep pace with your squad.
I've got four/five areas that my squad will be struggling with but on the whole midfield is set for a while at least.
Camavinga is doing well for you but Aarons and Fati have stagnated a bit. The latter due to injuries and the former is still at Norwich with previously linked clubs going after other players instead.
Need some of my 83 and lower rated players to kick on. 86+ fine on the whole apart from Reyna's injuries
Of the traditional big four (in the power rankings at least), Arsenal is probably most at need of a rebuild followed by Forest. Everton and United can go through next few seasons with just a couple of changes. Interesting times ahead.
Yeah, I had a decent young squad then with some top talents breaking through. Think i'm close to making a Hereford a top 10 contender. Just need a few decent rises in defense. Eric Garcia is going to help!
Militao only bright spot this season. Camavinga and Skipp are atleast progressing. But rest not much. Fati is a top talent but his inuries are a red flag. Full backs are biggest concern alongwith someone to take over upfront.
You have a very young squad and still able to get some youth talents on right deal. Even in your transition seasons, you managed couple of titles.
You're starting to sound like Damo when he jinxes people before matches. Your team has immense talent, please shut up.
Mingueza available. Cash plus talent.
Gillingham collapsed in the last 10 games of the season for no apparent reason.
Really pleased with the age of the squad though, apart from a couple of defenders, but we are getting there for a well balanced squad.
A lot of young random players, hoping 2 may come to something though, the rest are cash cows.

Aye, i'd say some of your 21-24 years olds have stagnated. But you've got some very good 18-20 year olds.what to jinx.
talents not progressed as I thought. Thats how it is.
Naaa they’re all shite may as well sell them for cash.
@Sepukku and @Green_Red put their names forward as next Arsenal manager. Nobody has put their names forward for West Ham so far. Vote for Arsenal will be taking place via pm
really hurting upfront with chiesa, richarlison, adeyemi and alvarez yeah, its tough.
talents not progressed as I thought. Thats how it is.
Talents are there. Who argued otherwise? Progression isn't what I hoped for from 2 years ago. Militao and Chiesa are ones where I want them to be.
Sure. Can't always stay contented.

He's at Monaco. Their players are slow to rise and 91 is probably his limit there.

A Sterling Effort
Cardiff City has a new king in town and his name is Raheem Sterling. The winger/inside forward made his mark on the biggest stage tonight with a heroic man of the match performance in the SMFA Shield Final making it 3 seasons in a row that Cardiff have secured European silverware. His two goals were indicative of the clinical display on show as he really hit the ground running on his Cardiff debut.
A costly fee saw the legendary CB Harry Maguire, prolific and underrated Ciro Immobile and promising young Liam Delap move to Norwich City but Cardiff are hoping that the emergence of Fikayo Tomori can soften the blow of losing the experience and quality of Maguire with Sterling expected to take up the mantle of club talisman.
Disappointment in the league but success once again in Europe leave Cardiff fans baying for more. Could next season prove to be the one to bring domestic success to Wales? We’ll see. All we know is that with Sterling in town a fair few clubs with take a pounding.
Target is now to be sole 8th placed trophy winners in a years time. A cup and European success will do for now.
Good luck with that but @Varun's Villa in particular are going to be tough to overtake. Winning the Super Cup would give you a good starting point though
The one thing i take from this is us Irish aren't very good at winning trophies
Tbf, can't see myself competing for the big titles anytime soon.
You have a better squad than me you could absolutely win things.
No no he’s got a point… Visualisations
Cumulative Division 1 points
Cumulative Division 1 points
- Nottingham Forest have overtaken Manchester City into fourth place.
- Liverpool have become the thirteenth team to pass the 1000 point mark.
- Manchester United have been top on cumulative points since Season 6, however Everton look set to take the number one spot at some point in the next two seasons..
- Nottingham Forest has overtaken Manchester City into fourth, Sunderland has overtaken Darlington into ninth.
- Manchester United have been top on cumulative goals since Season 1, though Everton aim to overtake this in the next couple of seasons..
- Everton had the longest streak of cumulative Top 4 finishes with 9 from Season 12 to Season 20 inclusive.
- 19 teams have finished in the Top 4, with Aston Villa being the latest in Season 24.
- Manchester United have been top/joint top on Top 4 finishes since Season 1.
- 29 teams have won at least one major honour with Southend United being the latest side to do so last season.
- Manchester United have been top/joint top on major honours won since Season 8.
Darlington have gone third mostly by winning domestic cups. You can definitely keep competing for those.
That’s my aim for the next few seasons. Decent league finishes but cups and Europe are the focus at least until I can build up Cardiff a bit more.
We just don’t have the starting XI power of the consistent winners to challenge for the league.
The consistency of United and Everton is ridiculous!
