Bury FC: Halfway 16/17

Hi everyone, hope you are well! Todays update will contain the first half season report. After a quiet pre-season, signing only 3 players, it was time to start season 7. We signed Araujo for 9.25m, who should hopefully solve our goalscoring problems, which we had last season.

Firstly, I’m going to start this post differently, with our League Cup campaign.

We were unable to keep the League Cup at Bury for another season, Liverpool taking revenge for last season’s final defeat :(

League Results

An excellent star I say! Adebayor is scoring again, and also showing signs of the goals he scored in his first season for the club. I have rested him a lot against the weaker teams as I don’t want him to pick up injuries, and so far, so good! On the other hand, Araujo has scored 4 goals in the league, which is pretty frustating. I must say, after the first 3 games, I thought it would be the same season as last season, losing to all big teams and a top half finish. The most tense game for me in this period has got to be the 0-0 draw at Arsenal:

Arsenal has 58% possesion and 25 shots on goal, but somehow we still kept a cleansheet due to a magnificent defensive performance. My goalkeeper Luis Guilherme was Man of the match! :D

League Table

YES! In our fouth season in the Premier League, we are finally on course for a Champions League finish! We have two games in hand on 5th position Man City with a 4 point advantage! We are scoring goals, and our defense have been excellent this season.

Euro Cup

We comfortably qualified for the group stages with a 7-0 victory on AGG against Brugge. Then it was 100% record in the group and we obviously finished first. Notice Araujo scoring 7 goals in the group matches. Maybe he isn’t familiar with English football yet? Hmmm.

Average Ratings

Adebayor is back at the top of the list :D Notice Araujo is my top scorer! Despite only scoring 4 goals in the league. Players like Anotonio Quimbamba, Fahri Aytac, Gino Kusters and Ze Carlos have really stepped up this season which is a major reason to our great start!  Luis Guilherme is definately our best signing. It’s very rare for a goalkeeper to have an average rating of 7.07 in top level of England.

January Transfer Window.

I have 16m to spend, and I will spend money. I need to find replacements for Ronaldo, Micah Richards and Pedro who will most likely be leaving in the summer. Ronaldo will be entering his last year in his contract, and he is already recieving 66k a week and has requested a transfer. However this hasn’t affected his performances.

Do you notice all the ‘WNT’ signings next to my players? Big clubs are intrested in my players! the likes of Barcelona is interested in Fahri Aytac!
