FM 24 Youth To Gold

Let's get the end of season one wrapped up.  So the Aston Villa & Liverpool sandwich didn't go to plan. With losses to Liverpool in the league and FA Cup after a lucky draw against villa. We closed out march with our only win against Chelsea.  April. After the last run of form I knew I needed to do a tweak, so we swapped a player role or two first off changing one of the AMC to a AP to help us hold the ball a bit more as our possession stats had dropped. Also the DMC to an anchor man, the data hub suggested we were getting hit on counters and the centre backs were making alot of tackles. The thought behind the change is that the anchor man will be an extra layer of support and allow the wing backs and Segundo's to get back to help out defensively.  First up was was Arsenal who were battling for the Champions League, if I'm honest I was expecting to get battered but to my delight we ended up pinching a win even though the stats suggested Arsenal were the better team....

We wrapped up January with a midweek game against Everton who I'm still annoyed with from the injured goalkeeper loss earlier in the season. I am pleased to report that the boys didn't let me down.  Whilst we dominated them in all of the stats we made hard work of it and it took us till the 53rd minute for Eze to put us in the lead. Lerma then smashed in the second with twenty minutes left before Eze got the third and final goal through a penalty. Which went to VAR and the media are saying is dubious. That was the icing on the cake.  Also I want to point out that Olise is really starting to grow into that AMC role and had 6 key passes in the match.  February; This was a frustrating month and saw us lose our unbeaten record. What's worse it was against Nottingham Forest. Not only did they take there chances after allowing us 65% possession. It also saw us lose our new starting right back Marshal-Rutty for several months absolutely gutted. Our best player again ...
