Shifty*i Messes Around at FM

[ShiftyPowers]

Better competition in the league this year, however after getting dumped out of the CL in the Group Stage, I threw the Euro League to concentrate on the Serie A. A new high point total for us.

Much was on the back of the top goalscorer in Italy since the 1950s.

He is 22. And an Italian International somehow.

He reminds me of the Chelmsford save. In my game I need a DMC for the future so hopefully someone like this guy pops up.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Well, Lucas Moura is coming in next summer in 12 months. Couldn't do it now because of the 2 foreigner rule. I suppose he could come in January, but I wasn't given the option to do the transfer at the end of the Brazilian season. Oh well. Backing up Ljalic this season will be a washed up and 30 year old Ashley Young.

 

[yoyo913]

So did you switch from the 442?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

No, but I find that talent and speed down the wings trumps an all arounder as the outside midfielders. I'm no longer looking for converted fullback types, but rather more classic wingers playing in LM and RM. Anyway, here's First XI, Second XI, and the guys who weren't on either

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Gotta have a pretty bad game to notch 2 assists, complete most of your passes, and get a 6.0.

 

[yoyo913]

I bet he made some mistakes leading to goals and that it was a back and forth game.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Shifty how do you find so many regens with more than four stars? I have never found a single one with more than four!

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Scouting? Also, stars are relative, so if your team consists of the best players in the world, it's very hard to regens to get high stars because compared to the rest of the players on your team they aren't great.

 

[Zlatan]

Genie Scouting?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

A couple of them, but actually not as many as you'd think. All the young Italians came up through my own youth system.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

How is this possible with my goal difference? All 5 goals conceded were at the Emirates

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Another season in the books, another Scudetto, another disappointing early exit in Europe, this time by Bayern in the First Knockout Stage.

Statistically our best defensive record so far, which was necessary because we couldn't score at all. In 2 prior years as the #9, Khouma Babacar scored 19 and 32 Serie A goals, but this season could only manage 13. We scored 22 fewer goals than last season. Yeesh.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Took a little time off to win Olympic Gold with Brazil in the 2016 Olympics hosted by Rio de Janeiro. I think this is something that just happens when you win as the hosts, but anyway as the final whistle blew a bunch of confetti rained down

 

[Filipower]

Was the final against Sporting?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Ivory Coast. Weird uniforms though, yeah.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I hate the ******* Champions League

 

[yoyo913]

Man that confetti picture is a classic, didn't know that was in the game.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Well this is my best team so far

Maybe I'll get to challenge in Europe for the first time in 3 years...

OH COME ON!!!!

 

[yoyo913]

It's God punishing you for not finishing first in the group.
