So, I've started my career with the Albion.
As has been noted in a previous post, we start with a £70 million transfer budget, which I've used to bring in Enes Unal (£4.5m), Ismaila Sarr (£25m), Toni Lato (£2.3m) and Roberto Gagliardini (£2.8m) with no permanent departures, just loans for fringe/youth players.
Contracts-wise, I've triggered one year extensions for Mac Allister, Trossard, Veltman, Lallana, Khadra, Ferguson, Weir, Leonard and Tolaj, and agreed new deals for Van Hecke, Roberts and Tsoungui.
In terms of tactics, I've gone with my FM traditional 4-2-3-1 gegenpress.
My first choice lineup is: Sanchez, Lamptey, Webster, Dunk (c), Estupinan, Gagliardini, Caicedo, Sarr, Mac Allister, Trossard, Unal
Subs: Steele, Veltman, Colwill, Lato, Gilmour, Sarmiento/March/Mitoma/Enciso (2 from 4), Gross/Lallana, Welbeck
Results so far have been slightly disappointing, but as is the case with RDZ it's not been an easy run of games to start!
- Albion 5-2 Bournemouth (Unal, Estupinan, Trossard, Sarr, Sarmiento)
- Liverpool 3-1 Albion (Welbeck)
- Albion 2-3 Man City (Mac Allister, Unal)
- Newport County 1-3 Albion (Carabao Cup R2) (Veltman, Sarr, Undav)
- Chelsea 2-1 Albion (Mac Allister)
A few notes:
- We're currently sitting 14th in the PL, Palace are 17th on 2 points. Next two league games are Newcastle (H) and West Ham (A) as well as a trip to Morecambe in the Carabao Cup.
- The game starts in June 2022, and on your first day in the job Jakub Moder is said to be 10-11 months away from fitness. Enock Mwepu is, of course, not present in the game.
- After I replaced the virtual RDZ, he pitched up at Villa.
