Fusion United

[David Malone]

For the one person who is following this thread, you will have noticed I have chopped and changed players at one time or another, most notably Daniel Sturridge, who while prolific had no resale value after this season so it was decided to cash in. For next season, which is only 2 days away, I would like to have the aim of setting my starting XI's age a bit lower than it was this season. With an average age of 24.1 when the next season the team is not old by any means, but it could do with some more young blood. The team at the moment is as follows:


Other aims for the season coming is to increase the average star rating of the teams players to at least 4 stars before seasons end, they will be most demoted to 3* at the beginning of next season. Notable exceptions are Johnson, Keane, and Shaw, all young players, and though Shaw isn't 5* in League 2 yet, he isn't far off.

On the matter of team players, the squad needs a major overhaul from the subs side of things, some can do a job, but some sadly won't be up to the standard of league 3. However, due to lack of funds, they may get to stay on until appropriate funds become available, or injuries permitting, they wont be needed as much as the starters.

Competition aims:

Firstly to the League, I am not sure of the quality of team I will be facing in next months league. It could be another 7 bots and 3-4 active players, or it could be 6-7 people who have tanked to gain an easy title. Whichever it is, my aim for next season is to finish in the top 4 at the very least.

Secondly the Cup. We didn't have much of a run at the cup this year, getting knocked out in the play-off round, the aim for next season is to build on that, and make it to the last 16 or better! The prize money isn't a great incentive for a team wanting to compete in the league with injuries in mind.

Lastly the Champions League: So far, yet so close. We where one goal from the final this season, but it didn't happen- We mustn't dwell on it, it is there to be had next season, and the aim for next season is to try and equal or better this years achievements in the champions league.

In summary:

1. Reduce the average age of the squad and increase quality to 4*
2. Increase the quality of the backup players
3. Finish 4th or better in the League
4. Try to achieve last 16 status in the Cup
5. Try to match Semi - Final berth in the Champoins League

I hope people enjoy reading this and will stay in touch for next season!
P.S. Polla FC sealed the league today with a win, leaving them six points ahead with a game to go! Fusion won 3-0 on the day at home to Himli-alanya-fc, with 2 goals from Keane and one from a Johnson free kick!
