Season 34 Week 23 processing...

Welcome to week 23 the first week of two weeks between seasons.

The reset is underway...

Data entry has started...

WATFORD

The dust has settled, and the manager has had time to compose himself before addressing the media. The side managed their first piece of silverware after 2 baron seasons. The manager has tried to remould the side into his own style/brand and for the most the side have remained very competitive and were almost there this season? Was it the change of tactic? The Defeat to Man Utd? Who knows…
The manager has thought about the direction he wants the side to go and has decided on reverting back to PEP. But will have to resist the urge to tinker.
This weeks sees a couple of departures from Watford. Firstly Tammy Abrahams, brought in to replace Harry Kane, and for the most he has been a success.
 
801 TAMMY ABRAHAM                    30-21  70%                        102-69   68%     325-164  26  50% 188-90    
 
He’s managed to fight off competitions from the likes of Ivan Toney, Eddie Nkeitah and Evan Ferguson for the starting XI. However, Viktor Gyokeres has arrived at the club and the manager has been decided to bring in Lukaku who has 39 GX, much higher then Abrahams at 16GX and feels the side could do with the experience if the side are to step up to reclaim the title/champions league. The second departure is Fikayo Tomori. Who like Tammy Abrahams expressed a desire to go and play in the Italian league and while Tomori is great cover player. The manager couldn’t stand in the way of regular football for Tomori who is more than capable.

GENK

Well it's been a ride…
The emotions from the manager after deciding after 10 years at the club that he was ready for a new challenge in a new league.
7 league titles
5 cups
2 europa league
4 super cups
Surely has to go down as the most successful Belgium manager of all time?
Several of the players were devastated to hear the manager had decided to call it a day and the manager has managed to arrange a deal with the board to allow the exchange of players. The manager has tried to be respectful and leave a side still capable of challenging in Belgium.

AC MILAN

Going to take some getting used to looking out for the Red and White of Milan on the vidiprinter!
The manager has wasted no time getting his side ready to challenge for honors in the Serie A. The side have a couple of household names in the squad but the manager has made some deals that will hopefully get the side on the front foot and give the side the edge in what will hopefully be a thrilling and exciting era at the club.
Abrahams and Tomori are the first two arrivals but the like of Federico Chiesa makes a move from Real Madrid. Camavinga, Tchouameni, Jorel Hato and Jeremy Doku join to make a new look starting XI. With the likes of Spinazola, Calabria and Gollini retaining their places in the starting XI….
More information about the club will be released when the manager has got familiar with his surroundings.

LEVERKUSEN

The side managed to bring silverware to the club this season which has kept the fans happy. But the manager isn’t staisfied with the poor league showing. 9 Defeats last season is apauling and the side will not and can not perform the same again this season If wanting to challenge for more silverware.
A revert to a familiar tactic and the arrival of Joao Felix and Rudiger should hopefully see the side propel themselves to the next level. All is to play for next season. No player is safe from being replaced if the side don’t start to perform better.

BOTAFOGO

8 Seasons into his reign of Botafogo, the manager had to double check his records and can confirm, this was the 2^nd league title. After finishing 3^rd on 4 occasions and 2^nd on one occasion. However, also to add is 4 cups, 3 Copa Libertadores and 2 Super Cups.
The manager has made a total of Zero changes this week, with the only change from the side that won the double last season is still Endrick at LW. A settled side doing well? Food for thought ha.

Paul - a very quick one - is there a dealing - once I have built a Youth Academy where I can send all players of a certain age there with one dealing - or is it a case of doing one player at a time?

Just working out Juventus who have 17 youngsters needing to go to the Academy and working out the best way to do so?

Think you have to ENROLL them individually

There used to be an ENROLALL dealing but I’m pretty sure Gaz is right, that was scrapped a few years ago
