Yo! Hi guys and girls, welcome back to my Bury story. After splashing 41m on transfers, we were hoping for a good start and a good foundation for us to build on and retain our Premier League crown. Arsenal were amazing last season, and this season it seems Man City will also be strong candidates, they spent 37m on a striker. And they have Pastore!
The striker they bought:
WOW! What a striker, the perfect poacher. It’s interesting that I would have signed this guy 4 seasons ago for 8m if he had recieved a work permit! Grrr!
Premier League Start
Excellent start! A 100% start! Just what I needed, just what the club needed. I have to say, if we dropped points in any of these matches apart from the City match, then I would have been very dissapointed. As you can see Fiorentino is the star striker! Araujo has just gone downhill since his first season. And this season he didn’t start any better, only scoring 1 goal, therefore I promoted Fiorentino is the starting 11, replacing him and it has worked like a charm!
Bury 2-1 Man City
Brilliant comeback by my team!
League Table
Ha! Look at Arsenal! It looks good for us! 5 points clear, and we’re on course!
Champions League
The group isn’t as hard as last years, however we do have to face the winner, Atletico Madrid, who beat us…
So a good start and lets look at the overall performance of the players:
Unsuprisingly, Fabio Fiorentino is at the top of that list with 10 goals in 8 starts. He joined us from AC Milan in the summer for a low fee of 5m, bargain I say, and if you campare his technical attributes with the new City striker, then he is a proper steel! Next follows my defence, you need a solid a defence to win games, and that what we have at the moment. All of them are different nationalities (RB = Bosnia, CB = Romanian & Brazilian, LB = Holland) Despite that, they seem to have a good understanding and are all below the age of 23! Jack Wilshere hasn’t had many starts as he missed majority of the campaign so far through injury.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this post. I know I did whilst typing! ;-)
Thanks for reading!
PS: I’ll include the Caring Cup report in my next post, we have only played 1 match so far which was won, son no point showing it. eh? :)

Terrific start Sayam, Fabio Fiorentino is proving to be a goal machine… Hopefully you can continue the 100% start and claim another PL title… Good luck!

Great start! Fiorentino looks sweet and I agree, he is a real bargain compared to the City striker, well done and good luck until the next update! :D

Fiorentino looks amazing, his average rating is just brilliant, good 100% start to the season Sayam, and doing decently in the Champions League group, you’ve done well in your defending, that’s a lot of clean sheets and only 3 goals and a single goal conceded in the league and Champions League respectively, very well done there

Superb start Sayam, now Arsenal will have to chase you like you did last season! And they won’t catch you if you keep this pace up, good luck!

Brilliant start to the season mate, Fiorentino looks class, and he still has bags of potential to fill. Good luck!:)

Great start Sayam! Fiornentino has been fantastic and hopefully he can keep it up, maybe this season you can give Arsenal a taste of their own medicine, eh? :) Good luck!

Well done Sayam, an easy start to the league and unbeaten to date in all comps!! What were Milan thinking while letting Fiorentino leave, they must be mad he’s worth at least £15-20 mill! Anyway, that’s their problem and you can reap the benefits. I too found Araujo amazing early on but then slackened off as the seasons went by, very weird players. Anyhow, good luck with the rest of the season and I’m sure it’ll be a successful one.

I’m disappointed Sayam; these results are simply unacceptable. You’ve allowed THREE goals, two of them against Blackpool! Not to mention that you’re widest margin of victory was a measly four goals. Only five points clear at the top means you might as well be in the relegation zone, and what’s this nonsense about drawing with Atletico Madrid?! I expect improvement in the next update!

Hey Sayam
Brilliant start this year, Fiorentino looks like an amazing signing and I hope he will continue it. At least this year Arsenal are not there to ruin your start. You are also doing very well in the Champions League.
