Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?
The Globetrotter CM   '18-'19 October Update The Roster
Spoiler
Starting XI (4-1-2-1-2) Maisonnial Cools/Mabiala/Alonso/Tigiev Sow Çağlayan --------------- Biseswar Türüç Peñaranda ------- Stojiljković ______________________________ Euro League - Group Match 2 SC Braga - Kayserispor (2-4) Hassan 8' (pen) Türüç 13' (Stojiljković) Türüç 28' (Stojiljković) Vukcević 36' Peñaranda 50' (Stojiljković) Peñaranda 69' (Diego) Our key players showed up BIG in this road game, Türüç and Peñaranda with the 2 goals a piece and Stojiljković tormenting his former team with 3 assists. Making things better, Tottenham is in a really bad funk and lost to Patrick Thistle so we're off to a really good start in the group. Below is a look at Peñaranda's last goal:
Spoiler
League Match 7 Beşiktaş - Kayserispor (1-1) Peñaranda 14' (Türüç) Quiñones 27' This was one of the most exciting 1-1 draws you could ever witness as both teams approached the opposing box early and often for a total of 22 shots (14 on goal), but both goalkeepers were excellent as well.
Spoiler
League Match 8 Kayserispor - Rizespor (4-1) Ovacıklı 19' (OG) Stojiljković 28' (pen) Chevalier 45+' Stojiljković 81' (pen) Biseswar 90+' (Stojiljković)  Peñaranda 2' (Bruised elbow, out 8 days)It was good news for us all around as we not only dominated Rizespor (their goal was the only shot they got to take all game long) but also avoided a big loss with Peñaranda's injury after he had to come out of the game inside of 10 minutes. Euro League - Group Match 3 Kayserispor - Patrick Thistle (0-1) Lindsay 21' I got cute, decided to play my B-squad for the first time all season and paid for it as the Scottish club took advantage of an early lead to tie us up in the points total in the group standings. Tom Černŭ played out of his mind, finishing as the Man of the Match with a 9.1 rating. League Match 9 Fenerbahçe - Kayserispor (0-1) Biseswar 40' (Stojiljković)  Stojiljković 8'Çağlayan 81' (Sprained ankle, out 4 weeks)Any time we can go to Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium and get a victory is a huge deal for us. This time around we did it with a clean sheet (which is always impressive against a club of Fenerbahçe's caliber) by frustrating them offensively as they were only able to put 3 of their 11 shots on target. Çağlayan's injury was the only bad news coming out of this game.   Süper Lig Top Scorers 1. Kılıçaslan (Osmanlıspor) - 7 T2. Peñaranda (Kayserispor) - 5 T2. Potuk (Fenerbahçe) - 5 (5 others with 5 also) Assists T1. Stojiljković (Kayserispor) - 3 T1. Frei (Beşiktaş) - 3 T1. Torun (Kasimpaşa) - 3 T1. Kahveci (Gençlerbirliği) - 3 Clean Sheets 1. Kıvrak (Bursaspor) - 5 2. Demirel (Fenerbahçe) - 4 T3. Maisonnial (Kayserispor) - 3 T3. Gone (Galatasaray) - 3 Euro League Top Scorers 1. Lacazette (Olym. Lyonnais) - 7 2. Bakambu (Villareal CF) - 6 T3. Peñaranda (Kayserispor) - 4 (6 others with 4 also) Assists T1. Stojiljković (Kayserispor) - 5 T1. Banega (Sevilla FC) - 5 2. T2. Grenier (Olym. Lyonnais) - 3 (6 others with 3 also) Clean Sheets 1. Leno (Bayer 04) - 4 T2. Marchetti (Lazio) - 3 T2. Mignolet (Liverpool) - 3 (4 others with 3 also) Review: Outside of missing a golden opportunity to take a commanding lead in our Euro League group after one round of games, I must say we're doing really well in both competitions so far. We've bounced back from a poor start to the season in the league and are now in the mix for the top spots on the table. Peñaranda continues to be in great form and even though Stojiljković isn't scoring at the same pace his contributions with assists have been big for us. Of last note, we had a competition at GK early on but newcomer Anthony Maisonnial quickly sealed his spot as the starter. After realizing Maisonnial's form isn't likely to drop any time soon, Abdelaziz Demircan has let me know he wants to be transferred. I'll probably list him during the upcoming transfer window while I look for a suitable replacement. As far as the academy is concerned we have received the second reports from our scouts in Algeria, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia so let's check out how our youth squad has changed: CB - Emre Karaer (64 OVR, 81-87 POT): 16-year old from Turkey who is Physically Strong and displays excellent aggression (84) to the ball. We're excited about his development and in no rush to promote him until we feel he's ready. RW - Shafiq Al Shahrani (50 OVR, 72-92)*: 16-year old from Algeria with an attacking mindset. We're hoping for development in his pace (71acc/69spd). LB - Mahmoud Al Farsi (49 OVR, 71-94)*: 16-year old from Saudi Arabia who's Physically Strong and shows good aggression. Depending on how he continues to grow he might be more of a CB prospect. CM - Serdar Emir (52 OVR, 70-94)*: 16-year old from Turkey described as a Playmaker and showing good agility (74). This is an early evaluation. LW - Dragen Rennich (61 OVR, 77-83): This prospect from Croatia just turned 17 years old, growing 7 inches to 5'8" and adding 13 pounds to his frame to top out at 152lbs. He has good acceleration (79) and balance (75). LW - Javier Fernandez (57 OVR, 77-83): 17-year old from Venezuela with good pace (79 acceleration, 70 speed) that will hopefully continue to grow. Good competition for Niarkhos and Rennich in the academy. RW - Pavel upan (57 OVR, 76-82): 17-year old from Serbia with good acceleration (73) and agility (73). He projects as more of a role player in the future. CAM - Hamzah Al Dalharni (45 OVR, 68-88): 17-year old from Algeria who's very raw but offers enticing potential. We'll have more details on him as we evaluate him further. LW - Dragutin Puhovski (51 OVR, 71-77): 16-year old from Serbia with good pace (74 speed, 71 acceleration) and balance (72). He's a bit behind in the picking order at this position in the academy at the moment but hopefully he can catch up quickly. RB - Fabian Lopez (58 OVR, 73-79): 17-year old from Venezuela who needs a lot of development. Doesn't possess the desired pace for the position at this point in time but hopefully he'll develop that. We don't expect him to grow taller than his current 5'11" frame so a move inside won't be an option for him. * Recent addition As I mentioned in the previous update I'm currently very interested in international friendlies with the Venezuelan NT to work out some kinks after a very poor showing in the WC. It'll be worth it for you to check this out ...  International Friendlies Venezuela - Ecuador (2-1) Del Valle 34' (Martinez) Cazares 41' Del Valle 43' (Juanpi) I was happy about being able to avenge our loss to Ecuador last month putting together another really good performance offensive (16 shots, 7 on goal). I'd still like to have more to show for on a performance like this but I'll take it. Brasi - Venezuela (2-2) Otero 3' (Rincon) Jonathan 5' Roberto Firminho 80' Otero 82' (Carabali) This one was a real DANDY, especially for a friendly. It's always a good tune-up when you get to play Brazil in one of these and we jumped to a lead just three minutes in courtesy of Otero but just a couple of minutes later Jonathan evened it up for the Brazil, who would go on to possess the ball a bit more than us (54%). Despite this, we didn't let them create clear scoring opportunities so it wasn't until the 80th minute that they broke through to take the lead and before everyone and their momma could think that would be all this game wrote, Otero did this  November's Schedule: 3rd: vs Antalyaspor 8th: vs SC Braga (Euro League) 11th: at Kasimpaşa 16th: at New Zealand (International Friendly w/Venezuela) 20th: at Bolivia(International Friendly w/Venezuela) 26th: at Sivasspor 29th: vs Tottenham (Euro League) Thanks for reading

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?
Been a while since I've been around these parts!
I am without my Xbox One for 45 days or so, but I figured this would be a good time to get back involved and follow along here. I've been playing my Newcastle career mode and tracking some player movement/stats on my own, but I admittedly just didn't have the time to post here. That said, super excited for FIFA 17. @vrabbit: Do you ever get frustrated having to manage both club and country? I always loved the allure and additional of international management, but I found that it just got in the way and elongated the time it took for my club career mode. @southernmetalhead: Love your formatting and the fact that you're using a club most of us have probably never heard of! @texasbum: Two career modes at once? You maniac!  Really like the Sheffield one though. Nice little youth team you're building up too. |

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?
I second this. I feel like I'm playing too much and falling behind on updates with only club matches. Granted with international matches that means more matches to write about too, but it's still different somehow. It's especially fun if you have youth graduates from the international side you manage and you're trying to get them to become important international players. I think that's perhaps the best part seeing your home grown player in an international shirt - once he deserves the call up of course. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?
 Luton Town FC October 2016 - Season 1 Bristol Rovers 1 - 1 Luton Town BRI: Lines 24' LUT: Pigott 83' 6th place vs 7th place battling for a playoff spot but the match ended with both sides sharing points. It was a sad day for Luton Town though, because in the 20th minute the club's top scorer Mackail-Smith went down after losing an aerial battle and didn't get back up. The referee stopped the game, and called for Luton's medical staff to enter the field. Mackail-Smith had to be carried off the pitch by the medical staff and they asked for a substitute. Looking at the bench, the obvious replacement would be the Northern Ireland international McQuoid, but Chavez called the B-Team goal scorer Pigott to warm up instead. The following play caused controversy, because Bristol Rovers did not follow fair play and did not return the ball to Luton. Instead they went forward in attack and while Luton were distracted complaining about it the Pirates took the lead. During the Pirates celebration the Luton players crowded the referee but there was absolutely nothing the ref could do; fair play is not mandatory. Luton played terribly the rest of the match. It was clear that Mackail-Smith's injury left everybody unfocused and unmotivated. Fans were left to wonder if Pigott was the right choice over McQuoid, but the young striker silenced any doubts in the 83rd minute after he placed an amazing header into the bottom corner and equalized the match. Green sent an early cross into the box and Pigott timed his movement perfectly to leave the two center backs behind. Pigott received the cross without a single marker near him, and his finishing was clinical. The B-Team goal scorer continues his amazing form.  Player Injury Craig Mackail-Smith (ST - 67 OVR 31yrs) was forced to leave the Bristol Rovers match early with a shoulder injury, and it has been confirmed that he will be out for 8 weeks with a Dislocated Shoulder. Truly devastating news for the Hatters. J. Paint Trophy - Round 2 Luton Town 1 - 0 Chesterfield LUT: Pigott 63' LUT: Cuthbert RED CARD 90' We were unsure if Chavez would choose Pigott to replace Mackail-Smith in the starting lineup or if he would respect McQuoid's hierarchy and have the Northern Irish international start today, but Chavez actually chose Pigott to start most likely due to his great performances with the B-Team. Pigott proved Chavez right once again by scoring in the 63rd minute off of a low cross from Jack Marriott. Luton Town had the entire match under control which makes us wonder what on Earth led the captain Cuthbert to make a hard slide tackle from behind on Chesterfield's Novak. The striker made a one touch pass to his teammate which caused Cuthbert to make an illegal tackle off the ball. It was the final minute, with no danger near goal, so it really is difficult to see why he would lose his head like that. Cuthbert's suspension will apply to the next league match, not the next cup match, however Cuthbert was already going to miss the next match due to being called up to the Scottish national team. Luton Town 0 - 1 York City YCI: Penn 22' Needless to say, Luton Town won a cup match and then lost the following league match this time a surprising defeat against lower rated side York City. Luton played the match without important players like Cuthbert, McCourt, and McQuoid as they were all called up to their national teams. York City's Penn scored the first goal in the 22nd minute and then York City fell back to defend the lead. Luton were unable to equalize and they were defeated, which is a big step back for the team that is supposed to be fighting for the league title. Cambridge United 0 - 4 Luton Town LUT: Cuthbert 6' 77' Pigott PEN 20' 37' CAM: Kennedy RED CARD 19' Luton Town's international players came back with a bang as they defeated Cambridge United with an astonishing 4-0 scoreline, the most the First Team has ever scored in one match this season. The captain Cuthbert scored the first goal today in merit to his tremendous movement inside the box during a corner to actually sneak in from behind the keeper and jump in front of him to head the ball into the net while the goalkeeper thought it was an easy catch. Luton continued to push forward and were very close to scoring a second goal after McGeehan sent a lobbed through ball into the box with Marriott cutting in but Cambridge's Kennedy slid in to foul Marriott inside the box and earn himself a red card.  Joe Pigott asked for the ball to take the penalty and he netted the ball into the top left corner. To make it 2-0. Kennedy's attempt to deter Luton's second goal was in vain while leaving his teammates vulnerable. Pigott scored his brace in the 37th minute off a low cross in the box, and Cuthbert got a brace as well in the 77th minute off another corner, this time with a power header after losing his marker. Luton Town (B-Team) 4 - 0 Newport County LUT: Banton 26' Mpanzu 37' McQuoid 69' 82' The Luton B-Team came out to face bottom of the table side Newport County managed by the Finland international manager vRabbit. Due to Joe Pigott and Jack Marriot both being promoted to the First Team the B-Team today fielded a different striker partnership, the young Baxton and Northern Ireland international Josh McQuoid. There was also a change in center midfield, with Mpanzu replacing the Welshman Lawless who has also been promoted to the First Team due to Lee's shoulder injury. Despite the changes, the B-Team put in an exceptional performance with Baxton not only making his debut under Chavez as a starter but also scoring his first goal in the 26th minute following an explosive counterattack led by Mpanzu. Eleven minutes later, the English midfielder Mpanzu scored the second goal of the night with an incredible individual play as if we were watching Messi himself in a Luton shirt.  Mpanzu had received the ball in midfield away from the box but he valiantly dribbled forward, juking his way past several defenders until making into the box and finishing his amazing individual play with a goal. At minute 69', McQuoid managed to score during a corner kick that can only be blamed on Newport's poor defending. The defenders had several chances to clear the corner but they let the ball bounce freely inside the box and McQuoid punished them for it. McQuoid would score again in the 82nd minute to finally put Newport to bed. Newport are really struggling this season and it may be due to the vRabbit's double workload, but fans and local journalist alike are very confident with him in charge and firmly believe that things will definitely make a turn for the better for the club soon. This is just the start of a long project with loads of potential. Leyton Orient 0 - 2 Luton Town LUT: Marriott 52' Pigott 81' The best defense in the league versus the best attack in the lead. The least goals received versus the most goals scored. We anticipated this to be a close matchup but we ended up getting a dominant display from Luton while Leyton struggled profusely to get the ball to their strikers. The first half ended 0-0 with Luton dominating possession and keeping the ball in Leyton's third. In the second half Luton looked more desperate to score and just seven minutes into the second half the young striker, currently playing RM, opened the scoring after McGeehan picked up a rebound from Pigott's long shot and passed it over to Marriott to collect an assist. The match remained the same with Luton displaying an attacking dominance and they secured the win in the 81st minute when Leyton sent most of their players up for a corner. The Luton keeper Justham grabbed the ball from the air and then quickly kicked the ball forward looking for the lone man Pigott. Pigott used his strength to beat his marker, the last man, to the ball and during the struggle his marker slipped leaving Pigott with nothing but green between himself and the keeper. Pigott sprinted to the box to engage the keeper 1 on 1 and then calmly placed the ball into the net to the keeper's far post. The best attack in the league defeated the best defense in the league, with Luton Town recording 13 shots on goal (8 on target), while Leyton had 0 shots on goal. Capital One Cup - Round of 16 Luton Town 1 - 0 Aston Villa LUT: Pigott 5' Luton fans have been extremely anxious to see the club face premier league side Aston Villa, which may not be the strongest club but it is a premier league team nonetheless. Villa received quite a shock as Luton actually put together an upset and defeated Villa without having to go to penalties! Joe Pigott scored the only goal of the night in the 5th minute of the match after Villa's goalkeeper committed a terrible mistake. The defenders had passed the ball back to the keeper and instead of sending the ball far up the pitch the keeper tried to pass it to another defender. However the pass was inaccurate and it went straight to Pigott who was right outside of the box! Pigott controlled the ball and then placed it into the top corner of the net nothing the keeper could do at that point.  Aston Villa fought hard for an equalizer and at times we couldn't believe the type of chances they were missing, but they were unable to make a comeback and Luton will now go forward to face Norwich City in the cup quarter finals! Luton Town (B-Team) 1 - 3 Notts County NTT: Aborah 7' Smith 13' Snijders 41' LUT: Smith 35' We are accustomed to seeing Luton lose after winning a cup match, but not like this. The Luton B-Team, which has given us several high scoring matches before, were completely dominated by a Notts County that simply walked past Luton's center backs in almost every play. The 18 year old goalkeeper King did very little to stop any of Notts' goals, but it's difficult to blame the goalkeeper after seeing such a terrible display of defending from his center backs O'Brien and Rea. In the 35th minute it looked like Luton would be staging a comeback after Smith scored off a corner, but shortly after Notts County scored again and crumbled all of Luton's hopes to come back. The most difficult part to watch was Luton's attempts to attack with McQuoid and Banton creating very little. Both strikers are similar players short and fast, and once the defense figured out how to neutralize them there was very little they were able to do. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Football League 2 League Table 1. Yeovil Town - 28 points 2. Morecambe - 28 points 3. Portsmouth - 27 points 4. Plymouth Argyle - 27 points 5. Luton Town - 26 points 6. Stevenage - 25 points 7. York City - 24 points --------------- 11. Exeter City - 22 points 16. AFC Wimbledon - 17 points 19. Accrington - 15 points --------------- 22. Cambridge United - 12 points 23. Newport County - 12 points 24. Crawley Town - 7 points Football League 2 Top Scorer 1. Collins (Northampton) - 9 Goals 2. Hayes (Wycombe) - 8 Goals 3. Asamoah (Carlisle) - 8 Goals 4. Pigott (Luton) - 7 Goals Luton Town Top Scorer 1. Joe Pigott - 11 Goals 2. Craig Mackail-Smith - 8 Goals 3. Jack Marriott - 4 Goals 4. Josh McQuoid - 4 Goals Luton Town Player of The Month  ST - Joe Pigott (England) (21yrs 64 OVR) Without a doubt, the player of the month is the young striker Joe Pigott. Pigott had been playing really well with the B-Team and was deservedly promoted to the First Team to replace Mackail-Smith due to injury. Many fans were worried about how the team would move forward without such a prolific player like Mackail-Smith, but instead they found a new idol in Joe Pigott. Pigott has been in an extraordinary form all season and now that he was given the opportunity to prove himself he has placed the team on his shoulders and has been one of the best strikers in the league. Many have begun to wonder if perhaps the team and fans alike are placing too much pressure on the 21 year old, and they wonder if all of the new weight on his shoulders could damage his potential. Selection Crisis With Joe Pigott in incredible form, and Mackail-Smith expected to return to training next month, it is difficult to see which striker will be starting for Luton next month since Chavez usually plays with only one man up front. Has Pigott earned the starting spot now, or will Mackail-Smith's hierarchy and previous form be enough to have him retake the starting spot? A similar situation has risen between the midfielders Jack Lawless (59 OVR) and Olly Lee (62 OVR). Lawless has been starting due to Lee's injury and Lee is expected to return to training next month, but Lawless has been playing really well in midfield and Luton are in great form.

Tavano (PEN) 10' Arini 26' Osuji 79' Mokulu 88' MOTM - Schiavon Avellino Player of the Month  ST Francesco Tavano, 71 Ovr, 36 years old, Italy Despite playing in only 2 of U.S. Avellino 1912's 3 matches in December due to a suspension for yellow card accumulation, ageless striker Francesco Tavano still managed to close out the year with 2 goals. That included a vital 60th minute tally against Virtus Entella to pull Avellino even 2-2 after being down 2-0, and also a penalty conversion in a 3-1 win over Modena. Serie B Table 1.

Aridità (Virtus Lanciano) - 8 Clean Sheets Manager's Thoughts I don't know what happened in the 1st half against Virtus Entella, but to go into the break at home down 2-0 was stunning. We really came out firing in the 2nd half to earn the 2-2 draw and probably should have secured all 3 points. The next 2 matches went as planned with 2 wins, but I was not happy that we failed to keep a clean sheet against Modena. We are leaking more goals lately, which needs to stop. January 2016 - Fixtures 1/9 - at Vicenza 1/12 - at Roma* 1/16 - vs Ternana 1/23 - vs Novara 1/30 - vs Latina *TIM Cup - Round of 16 The new year kicks off with 4 league matches and a huge trip to the Stadio Olimpico in Rome to face AS Roma in the TIM Cup Round of 16. I expect to win all my Serie B matches, and we'll try our hardest against the capital city side and see where it takes us. |
