Midseason performance - Notable players
Special notice for Eren Demir (5 goals and 1 assist in 3 matches) and Francesco Palazzina (3 goals and 2 assists in 5 matches). I use them against weaker opponents.
Marco Ronchi. A player I've had for quite some time. Bought him on auction when he was one point away from his sixth star. Three goals away from overtaking El Merghany as all-time club topscorer. His biggest feat is that he has been doing so playing as ST for most of his carreer.
Trương Phước Tứ. In Phuroc Tu I finally found my corner taker. Won top assists last season. This season he's leading top scorers ranking.
Wahid Saad. Won top scorers ranking last season. This year he has most assists in league.
Tom Caurant. Solid left back who has been with me for a while. Close to overtaking Islam Khalifa in most appearances. He's slowly starting to fall behind, but I haven't found a replacement yet.
José Sandoval. Recommended player (49T) I bought this season. Starting to prove his worth.

Some players I had to let go
Gamal El Merghany. Club top scorer of all-time. Close to 1 on 1 in league up until the end of his career with me.
Óscar Maldonado. Bought him when he was pretty old already. Has been great for a couple of seasons until he started to fall behind and developed some nasty habits (lots of yellows in the end). Finally I had to let him go.
Bakary Bourgeois. Almost the same story as Maldonado. Pretty old when I bought him, great for a couple of seasons, but he started to fall behind. I had to bench him which he didn't like. Sold him earlier this season.
Unfortunately no screenshot of Davide Cabras, who still holds the records for most assists and most goals in one match (that last one together with Demir).

Season 14 (level 11)
Final standings
I was going to take it easy, but only lost the league in the last quarter of the competition. Saad didn't take top scorer title for the third time in a row, partly because of a stupid loss on the final day against 12th place. Quickly out of cup on away goals. In CL I had a feeling I wouldn't make it, despite winning the first leg. So I set a better counter formation and ofcourse was knocked out.
Final team and season performance
Notable players (a.k.a. the usual suspects)
Wahid Saad. Close to his 100th goal in total. Will be 4* this season, but I intend to keep him for a while longer.
Trương Phước Tứ. Took the title for most assists and scored an eqaul amount. Most MoM's (10).
José Sandoval. Recommended player doing nicely in ST position.
Richard Haaland. Solid GK. Played all matches. Most MoM's (3) after the three above.
Season 15 (level 12)
Actually this wasn't such a great season. Had a bad streak in the middle with way too many draws. Quickly out of cup and CL ended (again) in 1/8 final. In league I had the best chance to win it in seasons, but halfway through the competition I felt it slowly slipping away. Luckily I wasn't the only one dropping points and at the end of the day I had done just enough to take home another title.

Final team and season performance
Notable players
José Sandoval. Player of the season. Most goals, most assists.
Trương Phước Tứ. Player of the season according to game engine: 13 MoM's. Close to his 100th goal and on 85 assists in total.
Wahid Saad. 4* this season, but still contributing. New all-time club top scorer (118 goals and counting).
Ji-sung Park (yes, I did change his given name). A scout I bought this season and doing fine. Will be replacing Saad eventually.
