AJ's Fails - The start of a legacy

[Fail G]

Ok, Season 3 ended a few days ago, but I never got round to doing the write-up for it. I did however grab all the pictures I needed, so will be doing it now!

So to start off, the league campaign could be seen as the best so far, but it could be seen as the worst. Although we did have our first and only loss of our league career so far, we not only had the highest point total so far, but we also had our best goal difference, mainly due to the impressive defence conceding only 9 goals! Overall the league was still a pretty one-sided affair, and there was no real competition here.


Surprisingly from this season there was no stand-out player who dominated the top player charts, despite the impressive goal scoring records we had:




There isn't much point spending much time talking about the Cup, since we were knocked out in the first round...

The Champions League was better though, as we made it to the quarter finals, but were sadly eliminated by a better Real Madrid side. Still, a respectable run nonetheless, especially with Real winning the competition, at least we were beaten by the champions:


Here is the first XI from last season, and the whole squad's quality, statistics and market value:



Overall I'd say it was a very good season. Despite the fact that it was fairly easy, we still thumped the league winning all but two matches. The Champions League run was nice, but you can't expect to win the competition on our first proper run at it. Always aiming for improvement here of course, and you never know how it could turn out next season!



And finally, we're bringing in the Player of the Season award!

Going back to season 1 and counting forward, as it wasn't too far away, here are the awards!

Season 1 - Alexandru Dragotel - 6* quality, RM/RW - He was the league's top assister with a massive 20 assists compared to the 11 assists for second place. Despite not being included in the top 5 league players, he was the clear favourite of the season with his balls coming in from the right causing huge problems for opposition defences!

Season 2 - Marcel Gerhardt - 6* quality, ST - He was just phenomenal this season! Top of the league in goals, assists and overall rating, helped by scoring 38 goals in all competitions and becoming the clubs all time highest scorer; there was little choice who this award was going to. The young lad certainly has a bright future!

Season 3 - Stephen Fernandez/Dave Perry - 2* quality, CB/ST - This year there is a joint award to these two players. Both 2* quality and on the fringes of the team; but both stepped up remarkably well. Perry just nudges it over Fernandez if the award has to be separate, as he made it into the top 5 players of the season based on form; but Fernandez playing a total of 21 matches and being part of the side with the best defensive record whilst maintaining an average form of 7 grants him his share of the prize.

Sadly these two players will need to be sold at the start of the new season with them both being only 1* quality, we'll be looking to bring in some new talent. But they've certainly proved themselves and have shown that "Sometimes it is the people who no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine." - If you get the reference, well done you
