Season 35 Week 13 processing...

Welcome to week 13.

The reset is finished and data entry has started...

No orders this week from Real Madrid.

WATFORD

A strong performance for Waford on paper, however the side were unable to convert there dominance into points. Drawing 4-4 with Tottenham. The side have come on leaps and bounds over the previous weeks after getting settled into their formation. The players just need to get more familiar with themselves to hopefully take things to the next level. This weeks opponents are Liverpool, who setup the same as Spurs, so the manager is hopeful the side can play there game, just need to keep things tight at the back. Evergreen Lallana is the danger man in midfield, pulling the strings and driving his side forward. The side will need to stifle his impact if want to take anything away from the game.
As for the CUP, Preston await the side after being demoted. Hopefully the CUP side will be eager to build on there previous Cup result Vs City (0-.
 
 

AC MILAN

The side is clinging onto a late title charge, by keeping themselves within contention should Inter drop more points in the future (Have to play each other twice before EOS!) The side must focus on what's in-front of them. A double header Vs Atalanta this week could provide a stern test and ensure that the side keep themselves motivated. The main 3 for the side as of late are Leao/Abraham and Doku. Can the trio propel themselves into the clubs history books and become legends ?

 
LEVERKUSEN

Leverkusen have been relentless;
You set club record longest unbeaten streak of 19 games.
Having a record breaking season, the side must believe in themselves. After schake suffered back to back defeats, there is a gap forming. The side must remain vigilant and ensure complacency doesn’t set into the side. As any lapse could allow Schalke pounce.
This weeks league opp is Stuttgart.
 

BOTAFOGO

A rare drop of points for Botafogo. Goncalo Ramos getting on the scoresheet couldn’t provide enough to see off Recife who find themselves 5^th in the league. Something the manager maybe took for granted.
However, the Rio club still managed to move further ahead in the chase for the title, after both Santos and Fluminense both lost (Almost a stock market crash!)
 
 
Good luck to everyone!
