HZON DD & My SPAC Investing Philosophy (deep dive; long read)

What you should know about HZON:
SPAC, Todd Boehly, with target in the entertainment space—specifically focusing on acquiring an entertainment business that leverages current & future technologies to better engage consumers and capitalize on emerging trends in entertainment consumption.
Hi all,
Hope you’re enjoying your weekend! As I’ve really been digging into the SPAC space, I’ve encountered a few mentions of HZON (Horizon Acquisition II). You may be familiar with HZAC, which is a SPAC being organized by the same businessman: Todd Boehly. Both SPACs are sound, but below, I’ll outline why I find HZON especially promising.
Before I get to my outline of HZON’s particular potential, I’d like to provide a brief overview of my SPAC investing philosophy (which is, admittedly, quite simple and shared by many, I’m sure):
Invest in phenomenal people & teams—especially if those people & teams understand how to onboard and leverage other phenomenal people & teams.
In the SPAC space, so many ideas seem great. Revolutionary. Exciting. But if we review previous SPACs that last and truly deliver on promises, there is typically one common denominator: leadership (teams & people). And without a solid leadership foundation from the outset, it’s highly unlikely the initial leadership is poised to onboard better, greater leadership to close that gap that truly separates the greats from the duds.
If you’ve been in the SPAC arena for a while, you’ve undoubtedly encountered similar advice.
So, moving onto HZON and their team:
Todd Boehly
Cindy Holland
  • Recently left Netflix as the VP of original content. She had an 18-year run with NFLX and was considered an innovator while there. The creative content department at Netflix took the company from streaming contender to streaming giant. Their original content over the past few years has been very solid (with the exception of some truly terrible films). Cindy knows content, obviously, and she was in on the ground floor of one of the most industry-shaking companies of the past two decades. Netflix has truly revolutionized how we consume media (see my note at the top of this post).
  • Now, some speculation on Holland: She was sort of pushed out of Netflix, from what I’ve gathered. Maybe not the sweetest departure you could imagine. So what does this mean for her participation in HZON? She’s motivated. She’s ready to shake things up again. And she’s primed for success during the golden years of her career. With Netflix and its immense success under her belt, Holland is looking for, IMO, one final project in her lifetime, and I think she wants to close on something that was just as transformative at Netflix.
  • Also the owner of a sports team—Angel City Football Club (I’ll explain the importance later).
Jason Robins
  • Co-founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Draftkings. From his bio:
“He has built a reputation for expanding DraftKings’ reach across numerous platforms through wide-ranging, forward-thinking partnerships. Under his leadership, DraftKings became the first DFS company to partner with Major League Baseball in 2013. Mr. Robins led efforts at DraftKings to work with policy makers and regulators to pass fantasy sports, sports betting and iGaming legislation.”
  • Draftkings is an absolute innovator in the field. Similar to how Netflix has forever altered the ways in which we consume movies and TV, Draftkings has forever altered sports betting.
  • I don’t know as much about Robins, but are you catching on to the trend here?...
There are several other board members, but it seems like they are coming from MRC, which is a great thing, IMO. Mostly financial operations guys.
So, if you didn’t catch it, the three biggest players on the board have a very particular experience in common: sports.
Boehly’s ownership in the LA Dodgers, Holland’s ownership of the football club, and Robins’ vast experience with sports betting.
It’s important to note that Boehly attempted a hostile takeover of the Chelsea football club a couple years ago, but the owner shut him down.
Recently, Boehly was interviewed by Bloomberg and was asking: “Is (HZON) going to be used to acquire a sports team?”
Boehly danced around the question but said yes, anything is a possibility.
In a world where cable is going the way of the dodo bird, consumers are still seeking a strong alternative where streaming sports is viable and easy. Right now, sports streaming is quite spread out.
But here’s my final word on a potential target: it doesn’t matter.
HZON’s team is just absolutely stacked with talent. And not just talent of the variety that delivers results and plays along with game of numbers and paper and shareholders. Boehly, as well as Holland and Robins, are talented, specifically, in disrupting current trends and innovating within markets (both old and emerging). Holland Robins took age-old entertainment ideas and radically flipped them, innovating for the 21st-century consumer and delivering a wholly new and exciting experience.
As such, I see a very, very bright future for HZON no matter their target. In a market that rewards innovation and inspirational leadership WITH a track record to back up that innovation, the sky is the limit, in my humble opinion.
I’m really looking forward to seeing what these three, in addition to their team, can do in the upcoming months.
Commons are priced well, $10.60 (ish). We, like Holland in the early 00s with Netflix and Robins in the early 10s with Draftkings, are in on the ground floor. Very, very exciting.
I hope this overview was helpful, and hopefully some of you are as excited as I am about this one.

DWT37 (February 6th 2021)

DWT37 (February 6th 2021)
Testing testing; check one two – DWT is live once again on Reddit!
Terrific, terrific stuff

Alas – promotion has remained minimal; with yet another deflation to wow the masses with - it was deemed perhaps no something to flaunt (as ever). The inclusion of the Dons was an effort to bask in potential redemptive glory; The Dons, DWT - along with Wolverhampton Wanderers - all struggling; all a shadow of themselves (except DWT tbf - pish as ever haha ah no). Recognition that potentially - a bit was between the teeth, indicative of the urgency and desire apparent. For the Dons - the overall was perhaps encouraging in a way; not losing to livingston was summat to at least remain hopeful about. Then in midweek at home they got beat by them 2-0; game over after 15 fucking minutes. The only way seems down - which in itself is for the best when considering the urgency a change is required (at least to my and plenty other supporters eyes).
The cyclical nature of success and failure is as peaky and troughy as it gets for Aberdeen over the last 50 years; ridiculous heights reached - amongst the worlds elite; right down to avoiding relegation on the last day. Previous may have folks fearing for a lengthy spell licking the wounds, going through underachieving managers by the bucketload; to the point where the underachieving became the actual fucking achieving. When theres memories of being world elite, naturally the angst and ire will be a fair way up on the dial. I'm no different; perplexed to the fucking max, but as always, I endeavour to be a positive voice when and wherever possible; by this token I trust the nature of my views currently are viewed as indicative of just how fucking shit things are at the moment.
No just shit football on display - but we have a team seemingly oblivious to the nature of things. Some may argue its a sign of the times - acceptance and sharing can only be a good thing. However the explicit nature of how obviously ill-advised the actions of many players over the last wee bitty there are - you can just as easily view them as being deliberately antagonising. Folk argue money outweighs the moral fibres - but whilst easy to say, I'm 100% confident I would have zero interest signing for a rival so despised. No discussion - just a straight 'Fuck no'. 'But...' 'Fuck off' 'Are yo...' 'Shut the fuck up'. Over and done with. I personally place a lot of value in the opinions of those I surround myself with - its without doubt of any kind, that its known signing on for certain teams is extremely frowned upon. To the most extremity of frownage. The furrows would be etched in the face from that point on.
With this in mind - there can be no justification given to any sense of not knowing. The blueprint was there for all to see in recent times with a by-now set in stone for all to gaze back on judas prick for the love of fuck; maybe his experiences scream out 'that looks fun' to some - for me its a real headscrather when some cunt turns up one day pledging allegiance despite the energetic hatred present. Perhaps the glamourising of shite in cultural society these days, is the kind of journey folk want to go on; being an icon of disdain - automatically having folk become enraged at the mere mention of your name. Its tough to understand why theres effort apparent to actually conjure indifference. No the sort of person I'd be wanting any convo with for sure anyhow - sounds a right wee prick.

To address the point again of promoting togetherness etc - whilst theres plaudits to be had for extending olive branches and the like; I'm not sure this translates to sticking a photo of yourself up kissing and pointing to a badge of a hated rival. If there was an effort to promote togetherness and warmth - surely the chat would be about being professional and seeing past division; certainly not punctuating your first message to the new set of supporters with stab-in-the-back-worthy utterings. As fuck you to the previous as it gets - compounded further with the public acknowledgments of agreeance from team mates left behind. If any doubt was had by any that serious change is required - it has been erradicated beyond belief with the activity recently. Potential doldrums for a spell to fuck - we are in doldrums right now without any sign of intent or desire for improvement. A stale pungent product for which we are paying more than ever. The investment results in a scrutiny of the purest - and with it the best chance of actual progressive change since the obvious forebearer. Nothing left to chance, no sense of luck landing the right people - actual well-intentioned believers who spend every waking moment breathing the place and knowing what will help. Anyhow - lets put this shit to a side there for a sec, its time to set up the day ahead with a wee seed of hope 😎 In times of hurt, We become more curt - Instead slip on the shirt, And set the bubbly to squirt. Reddit Running Total (RRT) currently sits at -£343.43. Ah no.

I’m not promoting it in the slightest to be put on; it's purely to be completely transparent about where the beans I'm spilling are being pushed towards – this is after all, a Life Experiment: Can a useless old arsehole prosper under strict weekly gambling conditions? Word of warning; prior to this – not really.
The sticky clarifies - but just to reiterate - here's the format...DRS20 is Dads Recommended Spend: £20. This is a lot of money granted - and I would encourage absolute apprehension if this sort of money represents life altering for you personally if zero is returned. I’m lucky enough to be able to afford to lose £20 in a week; but confess that if I got no return for say, 20 weeks in a row - I would likely be without something I value (a streaming service or summat). I don’t take it lightly. Four bets are placed with this outlay; a £5 Treble (DWT) and three £5 Doubles. Generally if two come up, the bet is covered (up or down £2 or so). My gambling prowess is pretty much a joke; so whilst I advertise, I in no way qualify them as a given. I’m a prick with plenty bollocks to spout is all. This is how I frame it.

So here it is - the one that senses the need for practicality; but also the need for spirit - where dreams and prosperity tug at your coat desperate for attention:

Its DWT37

https://i.redd.it/u5wdm9iv2tf61.gif



DWT REPRESENTATIVE Opponent Odds
MIDDLESBOROUGH brentford 23/10
QUEENS PARK RANGERS blackburn rovers 15/8
PETERBOROUGH UNITED crew alexandra 23/20

19.4/1 we get for this selection – terrific.

Over 29's last week; over 19's this week - and at that, a mere smidge under 20's; a return of that sort a gift if you ask me - terrific 😎. But we've been here oft before - sails chock a fucking block with wind; gusto apparent at every turn. But with this one - something different. Something...special. All at home, all heroes - we're no slipping our eggs into a pit of terror and hopelessness here; ability pours out of these teams with vigour - no doubt there. Never assume of course - but I reckon at least one hombre will join me on this journey - at the very least.

MIDDLEBOROUGH have a tough task on paper; brentford consistently seen as a pretender to the championship title and with it, odds on prices much of the time. At home which helps - although they've had a tough time recently (3 defeats in a row); summat to arrest and no mistake. My eyes were drawn mainly however owing to the cup game between the two mid-January; brentford alas winners - but Middlesborough were fucking pummelling them (23 goal attempts by golly)...they'll be itching for another stab at taking the cunts down.
QUEENS PARK RANGERS find themselves back amongst the picks; the expected rise in form stuttered against derby as we know - but midweek there, an away win over Watford with the man of the moment amongst the goals (Charles Austin). Back home with a gusto - I expect great things. No idiots blackburn of course - but mere fodder they are this week.
PETERBOROUGH UNITED another recent selection (with great success I might add); Posh have had a wee dip there in between times. Couple of defeats back to back surprisingly; but now back home, they can get back to work. A run of 6 without defeat at home (5 wins) - expect goals to rain in. The stats show crewe being stung with just 1 defeat in the last 4 away; but the defeat was heavy (4-1 to Gillingham), and two of the three were draws.

So there we have it – nostalgia, hope and determination all apparent in equal measure. This time we do it right; wind in the sails – and off across the ocean in search of new worlds. A powerful pirate ship hunting high and low for treasures. Raise the fucking flag - the good ship DWT is back and ready to provide for its crew. If you play; play safe. DRS20 as always people.
Frustration at the amount won, is better than the heartache at the amount lost.

DWT35 (January 23nd 2021)

DWT35 (January 23nd 2021)
Testing testing; check one two – DWT is live once again on Reddit!
Terrific, terrific stuff

Alas – promotion has remained minimal; but we've now in our possession, a wee snifter of a chance to properly leap aboard the success train. Admittedly this snifter is based on nowt more than the run of horror being ended - but additional to that; there was a strange couple of incidents surrounding the number 69 (see Twitter for details). Admittedly - notable only really for the fact 69 was involved (easy minded). But thats the noteworthiness there in itself - I'd have surely noticed a chance 69 occurrence or two if it'd been apparent previously.
69 - what does it mean? Theres the linkage to coitous of course; but away from that - there's the less coarse noteworthiness of ying and yang: pushed together, the numbers interlock as if, finally - they have found the positions required to fuse and be as one. DWT and Victory - which is 6 and which is 9 - it matters little. the fusion removes the barriers of former association. Here - I'm no a filofax of all things repeated link occurrences; but 2 within a week - thats summat. Summat to pay heed to and to take confidence from. Dismissing rewards and becoming accustomed to skeptitude, is a road tarred with regret and frustration: 'I should have...' 'If only I'd...' Impractical of course to grasp hold confidently to any and all random encounters and possibles - but well worth doing a smidge of research on whatever slips itself into your field of vision (aside from the nigerian prince type obvious pish).
My journey towards the inevitable destination of spirituality, has been one filled with tests - harsh lessons learnt and no fucking mistake. Akin to any challenge - the problems lie within your own doubt and lack of belief. Laid bear - the achievements successfully processed, by the best of the best at each and every thing there is to be the best at - are all unforeseen and random. Noone knows precisely when and where a new best will be set, even by the achiever themselves. The combination of good surrounding them at that time equated to elation...it can't be rushed, it can't be forced - it's a force that guides you. I've lost count of the number of times my bottle has been dropped and smashed on the floor; a wee game of pool - out to a giant lead; me on the black, the other cunt on all his yellows still...yadda yadda - defeated. Dinnae get me wrong - I'm no an exclusive to failure type cunt; theres been many many smooth and silky victories over the years - pizazz a fucking plenty. But raw in my mind, are manys an occasion where I'm in the ascendency - in particular in the sense of a knife edge being balanced upon....Pot this one ball - this straight shot into the corner....no other balls in the way - just tap it in. Just tap it in now. Just tap-tap-tap a roo....missed. The back straightens sharply, eyes burning a hole in the black ball, as it trickles slowly away from the intended target.
Its been a while since I've had my hands wrapped around a pool cue; the memories still hurt. Sports are all competitive and difficult to make inroads into at the best of times. At my age, if there's no indication of any kind of raw talent - move on to the next one. Did the usual merry-go-round through the usual ones; once they were exhausted then onto the less so ones. Nowadays - none. An acceptance my set of tools are alas not of the calibre required to make any sort of worthwhile progress. Those who can't do teach of course; and whilst placing wagers is perhaps another topic potentially set to be tossed on the 'tried and failed' pile - its one where I've finally achieved peace of mind. Acceptance I will never be the best specifically at harvesting huge lumps of cash - but also recognising that in itself, the path woven is worthy of highlighting (given the content is of a magnetic enough calibre). Free of the shackles of expectancy - expression and artistic license can be turned to for inspiration, offering others the opportunity to lay eyes on something other than the what have you. Whether it takes precedence over the what have you is the thing. Then once thats got some traction - beginning the quest towards when DWT eventually itself becoming the what have you; familiar hellos and nods - part of the landscape. This happening I'm hoping will result in the draining of stress and mental anguish I carry around with me; fingers crossed 🤞

The feelings on this weeks effort are much akin to last week; its all on the keystone. She fell out last week alas - but this week we have home advantage in our Keystone affair; suddenly things get a good smidge more attractive. The good news accompanying this, is the odds are a lot more generous than they were for last weeks Keystone; and as such we've got something here that I like to refer to as, 'The Perfect Storm'. We may be going up and down and side to side quite violently - but one things for sure; we'll have a terrific prosperous time 😎. So to wrap up - now we've broken the curse, put the rot in reverse - we slip a hand into the purse, there's a plan to rehearse. Reddit Running Total (RRT) currently sits at -£303.43. Ah no.

I’m not promoting it in the slightest to be put on; it's purely to be completely transparent about where the beans I'm spilling are being pushed towards – this is after all, a Life Experiment: Can a useless old arsehole prosper under strict weekly gambling conditions? Word of warning; prior to this – not really.
The sticky clarifies - but just to reiterate - here's the format...DRS20 is Dads Recommended Spend: £20.

My gambling prowess is pretty much a joke; so whilst I advertise, I in no way qualify them as a given. I’m a prick with plenty bollocks to spout is all. This is how I frame it.

So here it is - the one that is now ready to accept its fate and be propelled into hyperspace by our new friend, 69:

https://i.redd.it/dly6lj9t11d61.gif

DWT REPRESENTATIVE Opponent Odds
QUEENS PARK RANGERS derby county 8/5
PETERBOROUGH UNITED ipswich town 13/10
WIGAN ATHLETIC fleetwood town 29/10

22.32/1 we get for this selection – terrific.

Over 16's last week; over 22's this week - there's now maybes no so much of an expectant glance these days; the consistency of price is not one to hang the hat off of. But generally I find after a wee bitty of success, I generally react in a glisteny-eye type way and push the boat out. This week no different then - the scales tipping over the 20 mark; a land I enjoy if I'm honest. The journey one much more befitting of the vessel The Good Ship is - eager for confrontation jousting and challenging obstacles. Final checks all round - but we've a trio of heroes here afore you today; mark my fucking words people 😎

QUEENS PARK RANGERS caught my eye there a wee whiley ago after hearing the news Charlie Austin had re-signed; a terrific wee cunt he is. First game back - and a goal in a 2-0 winning effort over Luton away. Back to Loftus Road for the first home outing this week; Pugfaces derby in town to provide the challenge. In good spirits they'll be after getting the first win of the Pugface regime there in midweek - that the second of two they've played whilst QPR have been resting and waiting for today. Hat-trick for the man of the moment, wouldnae be a surprise if you ask me.
PETERBOROUGH UNITED caused plenty joy last week; and at a price that claws at my cuff saying 'pickme-pickme-pickme' - shall do Peterborough son 😎. Perhaps a tougher ask than last - away from home to ipswich, who find themselves 4 points back from the visitors. But a home record that shows 4 defeats ib the last 5, plus a scoreline that read 1-4 to Peterborough last time - dinnae fret. In the fucking satchel 👍
WIGAN ATHLETIC are our Keystone this week - 29/10 for a home affair against fleetwood. I've been watching the form of fleetwood since Joey B left; and no wins since. 6 free of a victory; 3 defeats in a row - the sting of change not yet repaired. Sure its got to end sometime; but in Wigan we have a mob who are battering in goals aplenty at the moment - 7 goals for in their last 2, both away from home. they score early, they could be in for a properly terrific hammering. Lets see what happens.

So there we have it – nostalgia, hope and determination all apparent in equal measure. This time we do it right; wind in the sails – and off across the ocean in search of new worlds. A powerful pirate ship hunting high and low for treasures. Raise the fucking flag - the good ship DWT is back and ready to provide for its crew. If you play; play safe. DRS20 as always people.
Frustration at the amount won, is better than the heartache at the amount lost.

DWT30 (December 19th 2020)

DWT30 (December 19th 2020)
Testing testing; check one two – DWT is live once again on Reddit!
Terrific, terrific stuff

Alas – promotion has remained minimal; and on of all days - a big, big anniversay day. 30 weeks old overall she is now the Good Ship - enough scars to tell tales for days. Amongst them, not a hair from the head of Lady Victory to be found alas. Not even an indication she might a one time stood on the deck, draping medals around the necks of the crew, smiling warmly at each. They continue to regale each other with stories of hope about generation pasts meetings with her - keeping fresh the reason they're here in the first place. Nothing directly said thus far (outside of amusing jibes - or at least I'm pretty sure thats whats going on - ah no) - but you can't help but wonder about potential mutiny from time to time. But they know it themselves I'm sure - facts were on the table; success rate under previous guises were also in the main, dire...its the constant motion that brings the most attention.
Right from the off - determined I was to make it stick. During my time on the internet - I can happily report that my experience has by and large been terrific. Understanding becomes prominent - you get comfy behind the wheel; then you take a stab at reinventing it. A glance back over my time, brings with it frustration like I'm sure many have experienced. The what ifs that plague the picture - a nice drawing it'd be if it was for the horrific scribblings scrawled all over it. But I've touched on this manys a time - humble experiences carry with them a real potent sense of understanding...it wasn't as if as a young lad I mused to myself, 'One day I'm going to be a online gambler with accompanying anecdotal musings' - you live life, gather a few tokens which are examined and valued mentally - then you commit to cashing one, or a few, or all of these tokens. You can be as specific as you like; and for me, that's half the problem - too many choices, too many options...rudderless and flailing. Far too many nights were spent in hellish seas, the boat thrashing here and there - me standing at the wheel clutching my yellow rain cap to my head, rain smashing into my eyes. The sense of adventure was great - don't get me wrong - but the committal laid waste to alternative perhaps more stable and lucrative avenues.
I like to clutch to the notion that money isnt everything - but for sure a smidge more than you have would be fucking terrific...just being able to take a necessary step to be able to properly propel oneself to terrific-ness at a whole new level. Enough to not only invest in the product itself; but to be able also to nurture a wee business, with staff and advisors and contacts etc. Travelling about the place on bahalf of; promoting and raising awareness in new and evolving ways - having a product one can actually fully invest in mentally and talk about at will about any one topic of interest. Having that specificity has been something I've yearned for my entire life - instead too busy investing myself on behalf of another. Don't get me wrong - often lucratively and with passion and desire; the experiences themselves have been fine - but at the end of it, its no yours. Then eventually its nowt to do with you anymore. New projects are of course the spice of life etc - but to be able to plant a flag in stuff is the very essence of achievement - for sure I've manys a flag left to plant sat gathering dust in the closet.
So you can understand therefore the continued desire with regards to DWT. I was if I'm honest, someone who always was a step behind others with regards to conforntational behaviour; my observations both good and bad, which is in the main the big bother for most observers...sure they see fruit bourne from the risk taken here and there - but often they gaze upon real horrible situations...recklessness causing injury, loss, suffering - any number of undesirable experiences. Thusly non-committance becomes apparent. Then - a mainstay. The poor bugger becomes cocooned in a protective shell of their own creation - hiding away from the tap-tap-taps. Knowing where the edge is is often the battle folk struggle with - riding the crest for too long when they should be receding, slowing and returning to shore. Or of course - vice versa. I've known many, who on the surface appear to have ridden the wave to perfection - all the wee baskets in a row. Then one day they choose to divulge a bit of info that shatters this illusion (maybes whilst drunk or in a state of rawness for whatever reason)...thank fuck I'm no this poor cunt after all. People are adept at masking and presenting an image - the fear of revealing what irks them at the fore of every move.
That was me ^ - worried about opinion, results of actions - consequences of committal...you end up circling unwittingly, realising you're recognising the same sights you saw a few years ago. Time spent wondering why the fuck you've ended up back again. Its oft much too long a period folks let this manifest itself - the value of a hombre stepping in to adjust the needle on the record cannot be trifled with. There's a good sizeable dollop of trust placed upon the needle mover obviously - henceforth the worry and strife life has created in abundance. Its that frustration personified by the fact youthfulness is often the most intertwined with blind faith and hope. You've never been in any situation of this ilk before (in most cases anyhow), essentially learning as you go. It's having the gift of knowing what signs to look for in the eyes of potential benefactors. For me it was far too often the case I was in essence attempting to create situations whereby this kind of acknowledgment would become apparent. The transition therefore to a place where you receive positive affirmation at pretty much every turn, is a tough one to navigate. The eyes of many all of a sudden upon you, ready to offer services and assistance when required, creating a claustrophobia caused by lack of understanding. What do these people want? Why are they being so kind? If these cunts are this kind, for what fucked up reason were those other people so unkind? Why does any of this happen? What are we here for? A vicious cycle - but whilst the bull thrashes, he can be ridden. You just have to grab hold and anticipate.

Back crashing up against rocks we were last week; the narrower odds offering fuck all in terms of reward for the sacrifice. That elusive first win for Derby came in the very next encounter wouldn't you know it; timing again a smidge off alas. Ah no. If ands and maybes it once again is. With the defeat the loss of opportunity to win inside 30 - the accolade shifts therefore to inside 40. Still we remain defiant to change; the essence of DWT will remain. See below for fucking details haha - hoo mama. We're no breaking records or owt, but there is a sense once more of a dedicated following, a few folks getting into the spirit of religious devotion. I've always imagined there's been a hombre or two paying attention to things, but its always nice to get affirmation. Now the stride length has been set, there's a place from which to properly kick on. For me - the place has a lick of paint that willnae need attention for a fair old whiley yet; but if Lady Gambling sees fit to cross our palms with a big wedge, who the fuck am I to stand in the way of development? Rest assured - with prosperity comes investment. Wherever the opportunity lies to decorate and bedazzle, one will be front and centre, slapping paste on the wallpaper strips 😎. So to wrap up - with snow on the hills, and wind causing chills - the hope of many fills, that they will soon pay bills. Reddit Running Total (RRT) currently sits at -£233.57. Ah no.

I’m not promoting it in the slightest to be put on; it's purely to be completely transparent about where the beans I'm spilling are being pushed towards – this is after all, a Life Experiment: Can a useless old arsehole prosper under strict weekly gambling conditions? Word of warning; prior to this – not really.
The sticky clarifies - but just to reiterate - here's the format...DRS20 is Dads Recommended Spend: £20. This is a lot of money granted - and I would encourage absolute apprehension if this sort of money represents life altering for you personally if zero is returned. I’m lucky enough to be able to afford to lose £20 in a week; but confess that if I got no return for say, 20 weeks in a row - I would likely be without something I value (a streaming service or summat). I don’t take it lightly. Four bets are placed with this outlay; a £5 Treble (DWT) and three £5 Doubles. Generally if two come up, the bet is covered (up or down £2 or so). My gambling prowess is pretty much a joke; so whilst I advertise, I in no way qualify them as a given. I’m a prick with plenty bollocks to spout is all. This is how I frame it.

So here it is - the one that stares back into the face of pressure and says, 'if we win afore xmas, we win big - hoo mama':

DWT REPRESENTATIVE Opponent Odds
DUNDEE UNITED hibernian 5/1
NOTTINGHAM FOREST millwall 12/5
PLYMOUTH ARGYLE mk dons 15/8

57.65/1 we get for this selection – terrific.

Over 14's last week; over 57's this week - a new record price for your peepers prior to Christmas time. I was eager if I'm honest last week, to bring home a victory pre-30. The price slashed - there was confident nods aplenty...this feels like the one. Then cunts forget how to score and we find ourselves back sat in the frustration shed once fucking more. So the op missed, we fire right back into hunting a combo intent on raising eyebrows. For me - 50+/1 is a ridiculously good price for this ; but you watch - some hombre will unleash a screengrab of odds far exceeding that (last 50+'er, evidence was produced confirming a price twice that of the 53ish/1 I got. A bitty annoying that. Still - something to feedback to the forces behind my chosen Gambling Home - cheekky wee pricks. Thats why its important to gain a voice in the online community; if you can confirm backing from loyal followers or observers, alls the more hope of success whenst required. Something to keep in mind people 😎

DUNDEE UNITED are one I mused on there through the week - as hibs were being taught a lesson for a big chunk of the game with Alloa, it really shone a light on how consistent hibs have been. Very uncharacteristic given their status as useless arseholes. United have had a kind of quiet efficiency about them; nowt spectacular - doing enought to remain safe enough. I'm still on tenterhooks awaiting Shankland to properly announce himself thus far - away to bottling bastards hibs a terrific place to start.
NOTTINGHAM FOREST maybes havenae transformed themselves into a killing machine jut yet, but they're not losing all the time, which is nice. A terrific 2-0 win there most recently actually, so the crest of the wave in currently being perched upon. Opponents millwall are 1 win from 11; that win being their most recent. At home they are as well; but thats a place they havenae won in 5. Scared of their own fans I reckon.
PLYMOUTH had a terrific November; 3 wins and a draw - then it went all to fuck. One wee win nestled amongst 6 dirty defeats. Summat to arrest then; and the pleasure their home stadium to do it in. They welcome an opponent in mk dons who've faired pretty decently away from home in recent times - a defeat last time out halted by defeat to Accrington. The wind will be out their sails; terrific wee platform for Plymouth to launch themselves up once more.

So there we have it – nostalgia, hope and determination all apparent in equal measure. This time we do it right; wind in the sails – and off across the ocean in search of new worlds. A powerful pirate ship hunting high and low for treasures. Raise the fucking flag - the good ship DWT is back and ready to provide for its crew. If you play; play safe. DRS20 as always people.
Frustration at the amount won, is better than the heartache at the amount lost.

DWT29 (December 12th 2020)

DWT29 (December 12th 2020)
Testing testing; check one two – DWT is live once again on Reddit!
Terrific, terrific stuff

Alas – promotion has remained minimal; but shortly it willnae be, at least comparatively with the norm. The big DWT T-Shirt Xmas Giveaway will be hotting up a good smidge more in the run up to Xmas time. Thankfully the quota of prizes (3) has been met haha - thus avoiding the embarrassment of not even being able to give the fucking things away. That'd be a humbler for sure - but at the very least, that'd in keeping with everything thats happened previously haha. Thats the wonder of todays world; a cunt could undergo the most humbling of experiences which was then thrust into the public eye - and within a few days it'd be forgotten about. Some other cunt has done some other embarrassing shite.
The big picture - my eye is always on that. To my detriment on manys an occasion tbf - the overthinker forever tagged with the rep whereby they give up on things or pass on opportunities with regularity. Frustrating in retrospect - but for me, there simply has to be a reason why their subconscious directs them as it does. I learned a few days ago, that being able to take command of what you're mind tells you in any given situation is such for a reason. People see you in that light, they get a glimpse at the part of you that is not as honed as those you dazzle them with. Nowt wrong with that - in spite of the tools at folks disposal these days - nowt wrong with that. Therein lies the problem - any cunt can do anything; so as such there should be no excuse for not doing something. The human race demands evolution, forever the improvement in body development, mind capacity etc etc. That ethos at its very core represents where we are today; over-concentrated on that particular subject - poor cunts in the form of animals, fishie, birdies, plants - anything - go through turmoil and squalor.
Its tough to be selfless all of the time - no cunt should be chastised for taking a time or two of personal preferences here and there. The line in the sand represented by where your obedience lies is something lying there quietly - folks love to get straight to the heart of grading others selflessness or indeed - lack therof. In my work - in my social interactions; I'm in the main operating from a place of expectancy - i.e. the hombre I'm dealing with is a terrific cunt and we could potentially talk at length about all sorts. Not something I push for fear of appearing over-eager; but I'm ready to be nice - lets say that. From there, even if the adjustment is a fair bitty down - thats still a place much better to maintain serenity from than a fair bitty below tetchiness and frustration. Diplomacy is an artform I've dedicated my life to in a lot of ways - quietly and unofficially I must add - but I've always been analytical of my experiences with people and the reasons for various occurrences. I get that this could be associated with pettiness or paranoia haha - but to clarify; from my base of humbleness, the assessment of my experiences is in the main balanced and educational.
Thats not to say I havenae had my moments of course - hoo mama - but these experiences were tbf the most beneficial in terms of viceral educational experience. Those 'I wonder...' musings are soon cleared up, when you go through a bit of goosebumpy times. For me - pushing up against barriers isn't a focus; I see myself more a roving reporter, commenting on his experiences in an effort to tell the tale of whats happening. Indeed my lack of willingness to get up and push the fence has perhaps seen me lose comrades, sacrifice footholdings - regretful in their consequence. But after a stint of being accommodating to every offer and suggestion - the payoff was enough to make me take stock and treat every offer carefully prior to acceptance. Eventually this manifested itself into a pretty tough exterior shell...not keen on owt that was out-with the comfort zone. You appreciate the glide when the torrents thrash you about. Thats the very essence of my focus; I respect my shortcomings. My bodies reaction - both in mind and physical - is not something I scoff at.
My body tells me to be a lazy cunt - so be it haha; thats my main lack of selflessness I suppose...I'm not active enough in being physically engaging. A wee rock stuck in the right hand scale - down she goes. But then we glance at where the honedness is apparent; and for sure - when stuck in the left hand scale, the representative rock sends it down with aplomb. As long as the lean has the honedness to the fore - terrific. Not to say if not apparent theres something abohhrently wrong - there's many a reason why honedness depletes. For me - a lack of honedness should result in withdrawal; far too many examples scattered throughout time whereby a person has fired on regardless of the fact theres no a smidge of honedness to be seen. Sure - I'm no daft; its a bunch to ask for honedness to be tip top at every turn; but the problems avoided by standard setting is not done in jest. The world loves to utilise the ability to be hybrid - but theres not a time goes by where a specific task performed by a dedicated person or thing is extremely apparent in its value...better chance of correct information - relaxed factual time saving conversation; terrific potential for long term fruitful relationships. Thats the stuff 😎

So the ship returned with treasure last week! Never not exciting 😎 On paper of course; another day out in the cold; but thanks to the focussed concentration, profit was gained by way of cash out. A tasty one at that - hoo mama - £37 off a facking dabble; that is the fucking stuff haha YES; the benefits of way way out there shots showing a nice wee bit of plumage there for sure. It'll no be the go to from here on in or owt; but nice to know the option is there should the bookmaker decide they don't know what they're doing for an avo haha (they'll win in the end anyhow the wee pricks...or will they?) The tactic this weekend therefore not really mused over; just a glance at the options and selections made - 'is that the price? Right you are' type stuff. Reasoned and researched; the selections this week are opted for in faith of return. I want to be able to say, 'DWT won before it was 30'. I'll no greet if it doesnae, but it'd be good nonetheless. So to wrap up - with wind in the sails, and hope in the tales - we look to avoid fails, and remain on the rails. Reddit Running Total (RRT) currently sits at -£213.57. Ah no.

I’m not promoting it in the slightest to be put on; it's purely to be completely transparent about where the beans I'm spilling are being pushed towards – this is after all, a Life Experiment: Can a useless old arsehole prosper under strict weekly gambling conditions? Word of warning; prior to this – not really.

DWT REPRESENTATIVE Opponent Odds
MOTHERWELL livingston 21/20
DERBY COUNTY stoke city 9/5
MORECAMBE harrogate 13/8

14.07/1 we get for this selection – terrific.

Over 53's last week; over 14's this week - the ebb and flow of DWT offers very little for those interested in any sort of pattern; any given week could produce any given wager. For some - reality is key; they want a realistic shot at a return. Others - they want a big lump, lottery style; and only therefore bother when potentially a treasure chest chock a block with treasure is on the table. Henceforth - there's never been any limit put on the price. Unofficially 10/1 is as low as I go...theres been a time or two maybes where I cannae alas claim to never having breached that threshold. Most likely caused by a collaborative effort - hamstrung by a smartarse putting on a sure thing no doubt. Anyhow - a sexy big profit last week; really got the juices flowing - had a good browse of the available information....properly starting to believe in things actually having not only a chance of winning - but winning fucking often. Terrific 😎

MOTHERWELL have had a rough couple weeks or so there; Covid-related bother (a hinderer by golly) prevalent - there was maybe an expectancy surrounding the slump given the circumstances. A wee humping at the hands of Hibs there last week; that'll be them pissed off now I reckon. Sleeves pulled up - hands rubbed together; surely enough in the fucking tank to overcome st mirren at home.
DERBY COUNTY are my new Mansfield - now the sails are full of wind, there's a solid confidence they'll deliver a convincing and comprehensive performance. The win now bagged - pug face needs a solid convincing win over a player - and Stoke are certainly that thus far. Home advantage as well - no fucking excuse.
MORECAMBE are unbeaten in 5 at home; a defeat last time out sure - but away to table topping wizards Newport. Back home then to lick their wounds - they'll be hopeful of success against a harrogate side beaten 4 times out the last five. Pish. Clinical and decisive - they could leap way up the league if they bag three here Morecambe - 9th by my casual eye. Thats the fucking stuff - hoo mama

So there we have it – nostalgia, hope and determination all apparent in equal measure. This time we do it right; wind in the sails – and off across the ocean in search of new worlds. A powerful pirate ship hunting high and low for treasures. Raise the fucking flag - the good ship DWT is back and ready to provide for its crew. If you play; play safe. DRS20 as always people.
Frustration at the amount won, is better than the heartache at the amount lost.

DWT28 (December 4th 2020)

DWT28 (December 4th 2020)
Testing testing; check one two – DWT is live once again on Reddit!**
Terrific, terrific stuff
Alas – promotion has remained minimal; but for the first time proper, theres a real sense of growth evident anyhow. Portions of DWT write themselves - etched in stone are the few paragraphs offering factual advice, or the fabled DWT mantras. Fans of the Dad output over the years, have oft been known to pay homage to the catchphrases - something that always produces a nice warm glow around the outer edges. I wouldn't call myself a cunt who deserves a statue or owt - but to have my documented trail of social commentary - or at the very least a portion of it - recognised as a momentous day of celebration, joy and remembrance; that'd be pretty fucking terrific. To harness the energy of that day and recreate it routinely; off the page.
Thats the aim - off the page. To be considered as such would in itself be off the page. The parameters of DWT are such, that ridicule is essentially part and parcel of the whole existence. It's therefore often tough to guage the temperature of the malice at times. We're at a stage now where the seriousness is non-existent to an extent; the participant(s) - regardless of wager - are investing generally without any expectation whatsoever. Which is probably the best place to be all things considered. Every success is a surprise - and with that an extended run of success would be an eye-opening cunt and a fucking half. I neither expect or hang off of the chance of this occurring - from the very start, I was ready to have very probable losses displayed with complete transparency. Its a risky subject to focus on is gambling - make a cunt of it and you're very much running the risk of attracting the ire of participants, or people in general. The focus of some gamblers relying solely on the wager itself when promoting - no frills or pizazz - is, for me, a risky gameplan and no mistake. Dampen down the seriousness with a wee cartoon or a joke - get the message out there, that this is for the more 'lucky dip' type gambler 'Ooo - 150m on the euromillions tonight! Odds are pish though - you'll never ever win th...or hold on - whats this...DWT - possible £500 bangers, 50/1ish - hahah look at what this crazy old bastard is saying; hilarious. Aye lets do this instead. Fiver down.'
Back to the land of zero return we went I must add, before getting too carried away with tempting your fivers out of your back pockets - but hoo mama it was a tantaliser. St Johnstone winning was a proper smug bastard moment; the pieces fell wonderfully into place...fell behind - immediate equaliser; then ahead all in the space of a few minutes there second half. Nil all in both other games - both of the cunts playing at their own stadium; the hope would head on deep onto injury time...but no - not to be. Sainties winning deserved at least the chance of a cash out on one of the doubles - but the agony of stalemates rears its ugly bastard head. The lack of action resulting in updating with nowt more than exclamations of eager hope. Lady Gambling took advantage of this energy and used it against me; she saw the bead of sweat slipping down the temple - I lost my cool. But here - frustrating bastards; score for the love of fuck. Ach well - the Consistency Slate is wiped clear once more; from zero we must build again.
DWT13 through DWT14 - that was the one time the Consistency Slate had any sort of accruance. A source of ridicule - manys a morn I've walked into the office and some clever cunt has etched a limp cartoon penis upon the Consistency Slate. I'm all for a bit of banter - you cunts all know that - but that kind of shit hurts a little I'm not going to lie. I don't dwell - its as relevant a gag as any - but when I see it, it takes me back to the moment of concoction (just there a minute ago) when I was full of wonderment and hope. Seconds later - I'm dressed like a pirate getting milkshake chucked over me. Once you go through that experience however - it gets easier the next time haha; much like yon scene in True Romance with Tony Soprano (subbing in being laughed and pointed at, for shooting some poor prick). For me - the statistics and trends and patterns are all fascinating without doubt - but I try and not let it influence things too much, as ridiculous as that sounds. Sure - theres obvious patterns like picking the same team for whatever times in a row - I'm more referring to the odds sought. I like to get a group of longer ones together of course - naturally - but if theres a beautifully priced sure thing, its without doubt a front runner for inclusion. A loose line at evens lets say.
Today plus two more afore we celebrate Xmas Day - and with that the Draw for DWT T-Shirts (see the Hat for details). Three lucky pricks will be celebrating the news a DWT premium T-Shirt in their size will be in their possession at some stage in the near future 😎. The T-Shirts adventure, whilst never really something thats garnered enough traction to be of any real commercial value (1 official sale to date - plus two gifted to competition winners) - has forever remained a pipedream I hope becomes reality one day. Perhaps from my ever-existent love of random acknowledgements out in public 'Hey - cool shirt hombre' type pish; smaller niche groups recognising each other and saying hi. For DWT - that would be some specific random encounter type stuff at this stage (current owners of said garments have all alluded to wearing purely in their own dwellings - of course they wouldnae wear it in public hahaha ah no). Henceforth the small promotional push - whereby I emphasise the fuck out of small; more just a way of giving back to those who care enough to want to be included in the draw (5 so far - so worth sticking your name in; a terrific chance of success 👍) - but you never know...a bit of assistance from the hands of fate, we could well be staring at a potential honeypot of action, some time in the nearish future.
The running feelings being felt at the success or lack thereof, are pretty much left to the side for this week - that being the first weekend of December. Naturally - we're reaching for the stars, seeking maximum impact from the selections. This is the kind of occasion that demands success. This kind of occasion gets pretty fucked off if empty hands are evident there at the end, 'wheres my fucking money bruv?'. Regardless - if there was a time for conservative, reserved 10/1 or lower type shite - it most certainly isnae now. threatening stares and spiked emphasis on demanding info may well be intimidating; but every now and then you simply have to get in its face, place a hand on its chest and say, 'Calm the fuck down.' Theres a lengthy game being played here - if you're coming in 1 week only demanding success, you're going to be in a bit of a state come conclusion. So whilst theres sympathy and respect paid to angered reaction; there is a line of retort ready to utilise once able to become intertwined with a reasonable convo. Far too much blazing in bull in a crockery shop type shite evident; relax and enjoy it - no wonder ever cunt thinks everything a scam - theres no patience practised. I may struggle to justify my shite return after such vibrant expectations displayed beforehand; but I have in fairness taken the time to reflect on this likelihood during a more sombre non-biased moment (etched in stone paragraph explains). So to wrap up - we're filling the sack, flinging it over the back - afore hitting the track, spreading joy shack to shack. Reddit Running Total (RRT) currently sits at -£230.85. Ah no.

I’m not promoting it in the slightest to be put on; it's purely to be completely transparent about where the beans I'm spilling are being pushed towards – this is after all, a Life Experiment: Can a useless old arsehole prosper under strict weekly gambling conditions? Word of warning; prior to this – not really.
The sticky clarifies - but just to reiterate - here's the format...DRS20 is Dads Recommended Spend: £20. This is a lot of money granted - and I would encourage absolute apprehension if this sort of money represents life altering for you personally if zero is returned. I’m lucky enough to be able to afford to lose £20 in a week; but confess that if I got no return for say, 20 weeks in a row - I would likely be without something I value (a streaming service or summat). I don’t take it lightly. Four bets are placed with this outlay; a £5 Treble (DWT) and three £5 Doubles. Generally if two come up, the bet is covered (up or down £2 or so). My gambling prowess is pretty much a joke; so whilst I advertise, I in no way qualify them as a given. I’m a prick with plenty bollocks to spout is all. This is how I frame it.

So here it is - the one that draws inspiration from lunar movements, whereby perfect alignment has been achieved (hopefully):

DWT REPRESENTATIVE Opponent Odds
DUNDEE UNITED livingston 11/5
DERBY COUNTY millwall 29/10
SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY norwich city 100/30

53.06/1 we get for this selection – terrific.

Over 23's last week; over 53's this week - up, up and fucking awwwwayyy; hoo mama. The more attentive will have noticed there's oft a trend with selections, whereby a selection will include a familiar face - a dependable cunt to turn to in an hour of need. sometimes you just need to slip another 2p coin into the one armed bandit. To be fair - there 's a solid lump of potential propped behind each selection. The doubles alone are worth a lump; all of them coming in would be a wee trip to Wonderland and no mistake...near 500 bangers. Holy Shitballs 😎

DUNDEE UNITED perhaps have some terrible thing going on behind the scenes or summat - the price on offer seems very generous to me. Sure livi have enjoyed some victories in recent times, but against lower league pish in the main. Whoop de doo for the love of fuck. Meanwhile; United are unbeaten in 7. Solid as a rock. In they'll sweep - snatch a couple of goals - and away up home to celebrate with a nice dinner.
DERBY COUNTY manager Wayne Rooney may be one of the ugliest cunts on the planet - but one things for sure; he knows how to win a football match sometimes. I've had an itchy finger and no mistake when it comes to Derby - sure as fuck I (and others tbf) have been about a victory landing on the lap. Nowt so far. A trip away to millwall the dish being served. For me - a very winnable game; reputation as being a bunch of tough cunts millwall may be - but sometimes a name known worldwide floats into you domain and makes a cunt of yous.
SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY represent a selection whereby I once again havenae let go of the certainty I held last week. Tony Pulis - so oft a miracle man (Has he been? sort of I suppose) - a terrific cunt like Anthony cannae go too long without a win. Sure sure - table toppers the opponents have and will be; but its no about them the day. Tony will grab a cheeky wee odd goal win here.

So there we have it – nostalgia, hope and determination all apparent in equal measure. This time we do it right; wind in the sails – and off across the ocean in search of new worlds. A powerful pirate ship hunting high and low for treasures. Raise the fucking flag - the good ship DWT is back and ready to provide for its crew. If you play; play safe. DRS20 as always people.

Manchester City Preseason Guide

As per usual, expect these things to change by the start of the new season, especially if a new forward is signed. As a guide, (?) means that the player is in the Manchester City squad but not in the game and (??) means that the player is a rumored signing for the Sky Blues.
TLDR: De Bruyne and maybe Foden if you are feeling spicy.
Goalkeepers:
Ederson (£6.0): Although the city stopper claimed his first golden glove for the club since Joe Hart, he still returned his lowest amount of FPL points last season. At 6.0, He is still a premium goalkeeper who will likely still face problems getting points unless a player like Koulibaly is signed. Key errors in games such as the Manchester United and Lyon illustrate that Ederson is not 100% trustworthy. However, a more direct approach from Guardiola can benefit Ederson in terms of potential assists.
Verdict: .5 too much, avoid for now but keep an eye out for him
Bravo (£4.5): Not sure why he is still in the game, he's going to be off in the summer
Verdict: Avoid
Steffen (£?): The U.S.A. international is set to return from his loan spell in the Bundesliga. Although he impressed throughout the season, Steffen will surely be #2 to Ederson in the pecking order throughout the season. He will likely be priced at around 4.5 as well but he will only have value if Ederson goes down with an injury
Verdict: Only viable if Ederson gets a long term injury
Defenders:
Walker (£6.0): Oh Kyle Walker. A great footballer in real life but provides questionable value regardless that he scored miles ahead of any other city defender. His spot in the starting 11 should be the most nailed on amongst outfield players next season. If City strengthens their defense, he will provide additional value with his clean sheets. A true lack of contribution in the final third hampers Walker's potential, but he will likely rank amongst the top-scoring defenders at City next season.
Verdict: Too expensive for his value due to his lack of end product. Avoid
Otamendi (£5.0): I bet most Manchester City fans already thought he left the club. Although he was the 2nd highest FPL scoring defender for City last year, expect him to put up a fat 0 points this season.
Verdict: Avoid!!!
Ake (£5.5) After Laporte's less than impressive game against Lyon in the Champions League, Ake has become a more intriguing prospect. That being said, the odds of him beating out the Frenchman to the starting left center-back position is unlikely, especially at the start of the new season. If Laporte happens to go down again with another injury, Ake would be a great player. It is also worth noting that Guardiola may deploy Ake at left-back and defensive midfielder throughout the season, but he will largely only serve a rotational purpose.
Verdict: Avoid for now
Mendy (£6.0): Perhaps one of the most overpriced players in the game. He recently lost his place in the starting 11 to an out of position Joao Cancelo. Mendy will likely only be a rotational left-back this season, splitting time with both Cancelo and Ake. Adding into account his injury risks and lack of consistency just makes this problem worse. Unless Mendy has a true breakout season, 6.0 is far too expensive for the leader of the Shark Team.
Verdict: Mostly likely avoid all season
Laporte (£6.0): The heart of our defense. Although he has a few bad games a season, he is by far the best defender at the club at this moment. An early injury ruled him out for several months and took away the possibility for a great season. This season, however, Laporte could prove to be an effective choice in the Man City backline. This is largely dependent on who will partner him come the start of the new season.
Verdict: Only for those with lots of faith in City's defending.
Fernandinho (£5.5): The ever-present Brazilian in the Manchester City lineup for the past few seasons may be taking a step back this season as additional competition complied with his aging limbs will likely deem Dinho fantasy irrelevant. The same price as Ake, I expect Dinho to play fewer minutes than his new teammate this season, although a greater proportion of them may be in midfield. For FPL, Dinho has never been a viable option. This season, I expect the trend to continue
Verdict: Only a lunatic would pick him.
Zinchenko (£5.5): Things do not look good for the Ukrainian rapper. Not only did he lose his spot to both Mendy and Cancelo, but additional competition in Ake (and in theory Angelino) will only help plummet Zinchenko's stock. As a traditional midfielder, Zinchenko may prove to have value if he gets loaned out to another team should they choose to play him further up the pitch. As for now, I wouldn't place my bets on Zinchenko to have value this season.
Verdict: Look out for a potential loan.
Cancelo (£5.5): Joao Cancelo. The right-back turned left-back that only recently has proven to be trusted by Pep Guardiola. Not trusted enough, however, to avoid extra competition with the signing of Ake. I expect Cancelo to start the season for Manchester City at left-back barring any new left-back signings, but I am skeptical of his ability to put up points for our fantasy teams.
Verdict: Risky and expensive differential
Garcia (£5.0): Before the news broke out that Garcia has desires to go back to Barcelona, I believed that the future looked bright for the young Spaniard. Garcia started in most of Manchester City's games following the resumption of the league and although he had to be babysat by Laporte in those games, he showed enough for me (and Pep) to rate him over Stones, Otamendi, and Dinho at that position. Should City fail to sign another center-back, they will likely refuse to sell him to Barcelona this transfer window. If so, he would have great potential at 5.0.
Verdict: Solid investment if City keep him + Don't buy Koulibaly/Other CB
Stones (£5.0): I won't go too in-depth on this one. Stones' City career is likely coming to an end unless they decide to sell Garcia and keep Stones as their 4th center back. Even so, he wouldn't produce much value. If Stones goes to another top half team in England, he could have some potential. A loan move to Arsenal could be best for both the Gunners and the Sky Blues.
Verdict: Only viable if he gets a move to another top half Prem side.
Angelino (£?): Quick special mention to Angelino, who will likely leave the club this summer.
Verdict: Avoid
Koulibaly (£??): Technically not a City player, but after City's disappointing loss to Lyon, he should surely be a Sky Blue this transfer window. If so, he could provide value along-side Laporte. At 6.0 Koulibaly would stabilize City's defense and probably play more minutes than Laporte next season. As a result, he would likely be one of City's highest-scoring defenders.
Verdict: Depends on transfer and price
Midfielders:
De Bruyne: (£11.5): The first name on my FPL team. De Bruyne scored the most points amongst all players last season and is still priced less than some of them. The Belgian midfielder has been wonderful in his time at the Etihad and his attacking returns should only continue to be magnificent next season. With more determination than ever, and possibly another striker to assist, De Bruyne should offer amazing value next season. If you can only find room for one City player, make it KDB.
Verdict: Immense value, easy pick.
Sterling (£11.5): Sterling, if he could stay consistent, would have been the highest-scoring play in FPL last year. After an amazing start to the season, Sterling lost his form. Now with Sane gone and only a young Ferran Torres in to replace him, Sterling has more responsibility on his shoulders than ever before. His recent form and insane miss against Lyon may raise some red flags about the Englishman, but he should still provide the 2nd move value amongst City midfielders next season.
Verdict: Less value for money than KDB, but keep an eye out for how he starts the season
Mahrez (£8.5): Another player who gets trapped in Pep Roulette. Mahrez played brilliantly last season but with the emergence of Phil Foden (who likes to play out wide) and the signing of Ferran Torres, Mahrez may see another significant cut into his minutes next season. Should he start the season strong, however, he may be able to nail down a spot in Guardiola's team for the first few game weeks.
Verdict: Risky differential
Bernardo (£7.5): After his breakout season in 2018/19, hopes were high for Bernardo Silva. This season, however, he failed to impress and was largely omitted from the starting 11 for the games following the resumption of the league, including crucial Champions League games. With his desire to stay at Manchester City made public, Bernardo can offer amazing value-for-money if he can hit the ground running next season. The absence of David Silva now opens up the possibility of Bernardo playing centrally more often, which can only benefit the Portuguese international.
Verdict: Great potential but Pep doesn't seem to trust him in big games
Rodrigo (£5.5): Defensive midfielders never really provide great value in FPL.
Verdict: Avoid
Foden (£6.5): The English wonderkid that took the Premier League by storm following the resumption of the league looks set to fight for his chance to play consistent minutes. His start in the crucial second leg against Real Madrid further proves that Pep has confidence in the young man. If he can nail down a spot, either centrally or out on the wings, Foden can easily be the best asset to own given his price. Ambitious managers looking for a differential may look Foden's way, but that largely depends on what happens between now and the start of the season.
Verdict: Could be the gem of the season, although he could also largely spend time on the bench.
Gundogan (£5.5): See Rodrigo
Doyle (£4.5): Tommy Doyle is an exciting young prospect but he is a few seasons away from a real impact on the first team.
Verdict: Avoid
Torres (£7.0): Although he has been priced relatively cheaply for a City winger, I would urge caution with it comes to the Spaniard. Guardiola will most likely use the same approach he did when bringing Sane to the squad in that he will only really fully integrate the player after the end of the 2020/2021 season. If there was no redraft every year, Torres would be a good pick, but for this upcoming season, he shouldn't have much value.
Verdict: Wait for 2021/22 season
Braaf (£?): Braaf may be implemented into the game later this season, but he will likely fail to have any value once he is in. Along with Torres and Doyle, Braaf is one to watch out for a few seasons down the line.
Verdict: Wait a few seasons
Forwards:
Jesus (£9.5): A whole million cheaper than Aguero, Jesus offers a potential entryway into the City attack. However, I believe that there are better options given his price tag and his rotational with Aguero (or another striker) will likely hinder any breakout season for the Brazilian. If Jesus can improve on his end product, he will have value. As for now, however, it seems too risky to pick him given all the transfer rumors surrounding a new city striker.
Verdict: Keep an eye on him, but avoid for now.
Aguero (£10.5): Every year, Aguero scores an absurd number of goals given his fitness problems and rotation with Jesus. That being said, Aguero may face additional competition if City sign another forward. With 12 months left on the Argentine's contract, this may be the last season we have the forward in the game. In my opinion, his pricing makes him a huge risk this season, although I'm sure he would love to prove me wrong!
Verdict: Club favorite, but may not be an elite FPL option anymore for that price.
Messi (£??): Just kidding. Unless...
Thanks for taking the time to look at my guide, I will be updating it over time throughout pre-season. I would greatly appreciate it if you could either upvote or leave a comment with some feedback as this is my first ever preseason guide. If you disagree with any of my comments, send me a message as I would love another viewpoint on this.

Will the Philadelphia Eagles win OVER/UNDER 9.5 games? By University Stats Prof!

1. Introduction

The Eagles have been a good model of consistency. Over the past 20 years, they have had just four losing seasons.

It wasn’t always pretty, but Philly managed to secure the NFC East title with a 9-7 record last year. They closed out the regular season with a four-game winning streak to edge the Cowboys atop the division.

Unfortunately, Carson Wentz exited the wildcard playoff game early and the team couldn’t overcome his absence in a 17-9 home loss to the Seahawks.

2. Offensive Position-by-Position Breakdown

2.1 Quarterbacks (QBs)

Carson Wentz needs to be applauded for his 2019 performance.

He had to deal with numerous injuries to his receiving corps and yet, he led the team to a playoff spot and he finished with a career-high in passing yards with 4,039. He threw 27 TD passes versus 7 interceptions, while playing all 16 games for the first time since his rookie season in 2016.

In the season finale, his top targets were Boston Scott, Dallas Goedert, Josh Perkins, Deontay Burnett and Greg Ward. Outside of Goedert, none is an established starter in the NFL. The Eagles still secured the NFC East title with a 34-17 road win in New York.

Philadelphia selected Jalen Hurts late in the second round of this year’s draft. He transferred from Alabama to Oklahoma for his senior year since Tua Tagovailoa was projected to be the starter. Hurst was actually replacing Kyler Murray who had just been taken as the number one overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft by the Cards.

Hurts did not disappoint in his lone season with the Sooners. He completed 237-of-340 passes (69.7%) with 3,851 passing yards, along with 32 TD passes and eight interceptions. He also rushed for 1,298 yards with 20 TDs on the ground!

His weaknesses are an average accuracy, inconsistent decision-making and a tendency to take off as a runner too often (sometimes when a receiver was open). He is likely to be used as a gadget player by Doug Pederson this year.

Nate Sudfeld will compete for the backup job. He missed the entire 2019 season due to a wrist injury he suffered during preseason. He was a sixth-round pick out of Indiana in the 2016 draft. He has attempted just 25 passes in the NFL in four years, so it’s hard to tell what to expect from him.

2.2 Running Backs (RBs)

Miles Sanders’ rookie season was a resounding success. He led all rookies with 1,327 yards from scrimmage.

He carried a heavier workload as the season went on. During the first eight games, he averaged 8.3 carries per game, as opposed to 14.1 over the last nine contests (including the playoff loss to the Seahawks).

Jordan Howard’s injury at midseason contributed to the increased usage of Sanders in the backfield. With Howard gone to Miami, the sky’s the limit for second-round pick out of Penn State.

Darren Sproles retired and Jay Ajayi was waived. That leaves the door wide open for third-year man Boston Scott. He flashed big time last year and unquestionably passed my eye test. The 5’6’’ back is very explosive.

Scott made a name for himself in Week #17 as he had to step in for Sanders who sprained an ankle in the first quarter against the Giants. Scott went on to rack up 138 total yards and three touchdowns.

2.3 Wide Receivers (WRs)

This unit was decimated by injuries last year. DeSean Jackson pretty much played just one game, while Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor missed six and five games, respectively.

Despite playing under his age-32 campaign, Jackson showed he still has field-stretching abilities in his lone meeting last year. He was spectacular with 8 catches for 154 yards and a couple of scores. He hasn’t played a full 16-game season very often in his career though.

Jeffery is another aging receiver coming off a significant injury. He underwent Lisfranc surgery, which requires a long rehab period. He’s questionable for the start of training camp.

Since two outstanding seasons in 2013 and 2014 with the Bears, Jeffery has missed four games per year on average, while showing signs of slowing down on the field as well. His 11.4 yards-per-catch average last year was a career low.

To be honest, I feel like Jeffery’s time in the league is coming to an end soon. Lisfranc injuries can be tricky for wide receivers, and full recovery is even more difficult for guys above 30 years of age.

Nelson Agholor was a younger WR who could have provided adequate depth, but he signed with the Raiders. The former first-rounder has not lived up to expectations, but he was still a decent pass catcher, albeit his drops were a big issue last year. Maybe a change of scenery will help rejuvenate his career.

Philly drafted Jalen Reagor with the #21 pick overall last April. He’s a smallish deep threat who is at his best on straight routes. He was good with contested catches, but will it still be the case in the NFL given his size? That’s a big question mark.

Reagor opened a lot of eyes by scoring eight touchdowns as a freshman with TCU after being a high recruit out of high school. He followed up with a great 72-1061-9 receiving line as a sophomore.

Reagor’s numbers dropped quite a bit as a junior (43-611-5), but you can attribute that to having a freshman QB at the helm. He’s an electrifying player who can take it to the house every time he touches the ball.

The competition for the number three role is also likely to involve Greg Ward and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside. These two guys have had completely different paths before making it to the NFL.

Ward went undrafted before joining the AAF. He eventually was added to the Eagles’ practice squad, and later on promoted to the 53-man roster until a depleted receiving corps forced him onto the field.

Meanwhile, Arcega-Whiteside had more of a “conventional” journey by being drafted in the second-round of the 2019 draft.

Such resumes would suggest Arcega-Whiteside would be the superior wideout, but that’s not what we saw on the field. He only caught 10-of-22 targets for a disappointing 45% catch rate. He was rarely targeted down the stretch, despite the numerous injuries at the position.

On the other hand, Ward filled in admirably late in the season. Over the final four meetings, including the playoff game, he caught 20-of-25 targets (an 80% catch rate). He clearly deserves a shot as a top reserve for the upcoming season.

2.4 Tight Ends (TEs)

The Eagles have a nice duo at the tight end position with Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert.

Ertz is a true warrior. He hasn’t missed more than two games in each of his first seven season in the league. Last year, he played with two rib fractures one week after lacerating his kidney. Talk about a tough guy.

His numbers are also staggering. His lowest figures in terms of receptions and receiving yards over the past five years are 74 and 816. That’s truly remarkable! Please note that he’ll be turning 30 years old during the season.

Just like Ertz, Goedert is also a former second-rounder. However, he is four years younger. He caught 58 passes for 607 yards and 5 TDs, all career-highs. He was targeted 4 times per game on average before the team’s bye week versus an average of 7.9 for the remainder of the year. Granted, injuries to other targets probably boosted his numbers, but he still developed nice chemistry with Wentz.

2.5 Offensive Line (OL)

The Eagles have a heck of an offensive line.

You cannot blame Jason Kelce for anything over the past five years. He hasn’t missed any start, while consistently being one of the top centers in the league. As a matter of fact, he was rated as the #1 center in the NFL according to PFF grades last year. He’s now 32 years old.

Left tackle Jason Peters has been just as good as Kelce. He was nominated to nine Pro Bowls in his career and he finished as the number 6 tackle in the league with his 83.4 PFF mark. Unfortunately, the team decided to let the 38-year old hit the free agency market. EDIT: he was re-signed three days ago (this article was written several weeks ago). He is projected to play guard instead of tackle.

Peters will be replaced with 2019 first-round pick, Andre Dillard. Is he ready to take on the full-time job? It remains to be seen, but it will be difficult to fill Peters’ shoes.

As for Lane Johnson, the right tackle finished as the 3rd-best tackle in the league based on the PFF grading system. He’s been very good throughout his seven-year career; the former #4 overall pick has not disappointed at all!

Brandon Brooks also had a huge 2019 season! He ended the year as the top guard in the NFL with a jaw-dropping 92.9 PFF mark. Much like Lane Johnson, Brooks is another player above 30 years old who’s been reliable his entire career.

Left guard Isaac Seumalo started all 16 games for the first time of his career. He’s the one that received the lowest grades on this OL, but finishing 17th out of 81 guards is nothing to be ashamed of! The former third-round pick from the 2016 draft is not as talented as his colleagues, but you could do worse than having him as one of your starters.

The team lost good depth with the departure of Halapoulivaati Vaitai to Detroit. The 2019 season was clearly his best year; it would have been nice to retain him but he signed a huge contract with the Lions.

2020 VS 2019 OFFENSE

When comparing the upcoming 2020 season with last year, there are some positives and some negatives.

Let’s discuss the negative stuff first. I do expect a downgrade on the offensive line. They played at an extremely high level last year with four guys finishing among the 6 players at their respective position (based on PFF rankings). That’s unlikely to happen again, especially with three linemen aged 30 years or above.

Also, second-year man Andre Dillard has good potential, but it will be difficult to match Jason Peters’ 2019 performance. I do expect a drop-off here.

At quarterback and tight end, the situation remains stable.

At the running back position, losing Jordan Howard to free agency won’t hurt too much with the emergence of electrifying Boston Scott. Also, Miles Sanders is expected to take a leap in his sophomore season.

Finally, how could you not expect better production from the WR group? They were hit by the injury bug a lot last year. Agholor’s departure is a moderate blow; getting DeSean Jackson back is a bonus! Hopefully, speedy rookie Jalen Reagor can provide a spark to an offense that sorely missed game breakers last year.

The Eagles offense scored the 12th-highest number of points last year. My final conclusion, based on the arguments above, is that I expect similar production in 2020.

Final call (2020 vs 2019): Stable

3. Defensive Position-by-Position Breakdown

3.1 Defensive Linemen (DLs)

Fletcher Cox is an animal. Plain and simple.

Despite posting his second-lowest sack output of his illustrious eight-year career, he still graded as the 4th-best interior defenders in the NFL based on PFF rankings. On average, he has recorded 6 sacks per year (he only got 3.5 last year)

He has also been very durable; he’s missed just three games out 128. He still has good years to come at age 29.

Tim Jernigan was a decent starter next to Cox, but he clearly wasn’t needed on the team anymore after the Eagles signed stud DT Javon Hargrave. The former Steeler showed steady improvement in each of his first four years in the NFL. His 83.4 PFF mark last year put him in the 8th spot out of 114 DLs.

With Hargrave entering his prime years and Fletcher Cox being a perennial beast, good luck running the ball inside the tackles against the Eagles in 2020.

After playing three years in Indy, Hassan Ridgeway had a below-average season in his first year with the Eagles. He’s more of a rotational player, whom you hope won’t be needed as a starter.

3.2 Defensive Ends (DEs) / Edge Rushers (ED)

Brandon Graham is 32 years old, but he refuses to slow down. He led the team with 8.5 sacks last year, and he has averaged six sacks over an eight-year period!

The guy also finds a way to stay on the field. Can you believe he has missed a single game in eight years! He’s been consistently good and remains a force, both against the run and rushing the passer.

Derek Barnett is a former first-rounder coming off a career-high in sacks with 6.5. However, his 2019 PFF grade was the lowest of his three-year stint in the NFL and he finished as the number 83 edge defender out of 107 qualifiers. He’s an “okay” player.

Vinny Curry played 38% of the snaps last year, but it does not appear like he will be back with the team. At the time of writing, he was still a free agent. He did pick up five sacks last year, but teams seem reluctant to sign him because he’ll be playing his age-32 campaign. He actually played pretty well when called upon.

With Curry gone, the team must hope Josh Sweat will elevate his game. The 2018 fourth-round selection posted his first four sacks of his career last year, but his 62.5 overall PFF mark ranked him as the 76th-best edge defender out of 107 guys.

3.3 Linebackers (LBs)

After playing four years in Buffalo and four years in Philly, Nigel Bradham was cut by the Eagles, mainly for cap reasons. He provided average play at the LB position; he was good in coverage, but he was a liability defending the run.

The team also lost Kamu Grugier-Hill, who signed with the Dolphins. You could characterize him as a decent player, albeit far from being great.

That leaves the team pretty thin at the position.

Nathan Gerry is the lone 2019 starter that is still with the team. He ranked as the 34th-best linebacker out of 89 players. He does not offer much upside, though. It would be stunning to see him crack the top 25 someday.

Can Duke Riley and/or T.J Edwards crack the starting lineup? Neither seem to be an up-and-coming star. Riley was acquired for peanuts prior to last year and he played 35 snaps. As for Edwards, he was an undrafted rookie out of Wisconsin that did well in limited time last year. He proved to be stout against the run.

3.4 Cornerbacks (CBs)

Philly’s back end has been revamped for the upcoming 2020 season.

The Eagles signed one of the best slot corners in the league: Nickell Robey-Coleman. He has received consistently good grades from ProFootballFocus over the past four years. At 5’8’’ he is pretty small, but you couldn’t tell from the quality of his game. He’s a nice addition.

Philly also acquired Darius “Big Play” Slay, who played the first seven years of his career with the Lions. He had a down year in 2019, but I’m not worried he can rebound in a new environment. He’s been covering opponent’s top receivers for a while in this league, and he’s done a good job at it. He has 19 career interceptions.

Ronald Darby’s career has been plagued with injuries recently and he was let go during the offseason. His PFF grade took an enormous drop last year, all the way from a respectable 70.6 in 2018 down to an abysmal 44.8 last year. He signed a one-year deal with the Redskins.

Rasul Douglas and Avonte Maddox are still on the team, but neither has proven to be an impactful contributor. Both graded as very below-average corners in 2019.

3.5 Safeties (S)

Malcolm Jenkins and Rodney McLeod both played the entire 2019 season. They ranked as the 32nd- and 52nd-best out of a bunch of 87 safeties.

The organization and Jenkins couldn’t agree on a deal, so the Eagles had to let him go after six very successful seasons. He picked off 11 passes during his six-year stint in Philly. He signed with the Saints, with which he spent the first five seasons of his career. Even though he wasn’t getting any younger, his present will be missed.

McLeod’s 2019 PFF grade was the lowest he had obtained over the past five years, but he still did a decent job.

Jalen Mills will be one piece of the puzzle in replacing Jenkins. But let’s face the reality: he has been pretty awful throughout his four-year career, except 2017 where he did better.

Another option will be newly acquired Will Parks, who is coming over from Denver. However, he’s clearly not a long-term solution either. He’s pretty versatile, but he’s a below-average player.

2020 VS 2019 DEFENSE

This unit was upgraded quite a bit during the offseason at two positions, but it also suffered a severe downgrade at a couple others.

First, acquiring Javon Hargrave to team up with Fletcher Cox on the interior of the line was big! At CB, getting Darius Slay and Nickell Robey-Coleman will provide much needed help at a position that has caused headaches for years in Philly.

Unfortunately, the defense lost its best safety when Malcolm Jenkins signed with the Saints. Also, even though none of them was a true difference maker, losing linebackers Nigel Bradham and Kamu Grugier-Hill creates a hole.

Since the team acquired some big time players while losing good/average players, I envision a small improvement. In 2019, the Eagles finished in the middle of the pack in terms of points allowed per game (15th out of 32 teams). I envision Philly finishing around the #10-#13 spot this year.

Final call (2020 vs 2019): Small upgrade

4. Regular Season Wins

According to sportsbooks, the Eagles are expected to win 9.5 games this season. Should we bet the “over” or the “under”?

Here is the methodology I used in order to answer this vital question:

What if... One-club men lived forever

The year is 2017. Top scientists have finally cracked the ability to stop ageing, and the world rejoices. The discovery prompts an immediate FIFA investigation into exactly what this means for world football from now on. How will the careers come and go when every team can just preserve their best stars? How will the next Messi break through? The Qatar FA suggest restricting it to only Qatari players, a motion that's only narrowly defeated. In unrelated news, a bunch of mysterious Qatari bank accounts are seized the day before the vote. Eventually, a compromise is decided upon between. Only those players who’ve proven themselves to be in it for the sport, and their team, can use it. The players who have stuck with their team through thick and thin, who’ve turned down bigger money offers to stay where they are. One-Club Men. However, should their loyalty ever waiver, and they choose to leave, those players will lose their right to an everlasting career, and have to face the advance years once again. Who will remain loyal the longest? Who will ride out the lowest of lows to stay at their lifelong club?
Unfortunately for those of you hoping I’ve found a secret miracle, that’s just the best nonsense I could come up with to frame this scenario. In less dramatic terms, using FM 2017, I'm going to select 50 one-club men from the top 5 leagues and de-age them to around 22. Every 5 years I'll de-age them down to 22 again, unless they abandon their loyalty. I'll also be adjusting everyone's contract to expire in 2020 to make it equal, and undoing international retirements where necessary. Nothing overly complicated, but I’m expecting this one to run a long long time if I’m going to have everyone leave, so I’m good with it not being too complicated.
Reddit side note! It's me again. Some may remember my experiments from ages ago. I'm back and writing again, but as you can probably tell, with a new name and website. If you want to see this post with much better formatting, all the images, and everyone's profile at the end, go here to read it in full: link You can stay here if you prefer though!
So who actually qualifies for this? I've restricted it to players from the Top 5 leagues of England, Italy, Spain, Germany and France, and only included those that have been at their clubs the longest. As well as the genuine candidates like Messi and Totti, loaned out players like Lahm qualify, as do those like Iniesta who haven't left in FM 2017, and even those that have left in-game, but are known for their careers at one club. Buffon is a good example of the latter. I've included a link to an image with all 5 players here: link
With all this loyalty around, I wanted to mix it up a bit by adding in one final player. Someone completely opposite to everyone picked so far, the anti-one-club man, the journeyman of all journeymen. And after some research, I came up with the perfect candidate. Sebastián Abreu, a man who in his career has played at an impressive 29 different teams in 11 different countries, setting a Guinness world record along the way. Abreu will receive the same treatment as the loyal players, except it won’t stop when he moves team. I want him to move around more, spread his wings, see how many teams he can collect over an illustrious career.
That’s enough explaining for now. Should be pretty clear what’s going on, just a bunch of footballers never getting old. Time to get things rolling and see who eliminates themselves. Who can stick it out the longest, who will become THE one-club man?

2016/17

With our younger one club men unleashed on the world, many of them attract instant attention from new clubs. For a while it stays quiet and looks like the first transfer window may pass without incident. Only a few loans crop up... until Javi López because the first man to fall. With Espanyol not meeting his standards, he makes a £2.4M trip down the coast to join Valencia. He proves to be the only summer casualty by the time the window slams shut.
January brings the winter window, and the Premier League clubs start to sniff around, ready to throw bags of cash at unsuspecting players. It doesn’t take long before the next two players are reeled in by money and lose their eternal youth. First Marcel Schmelzer in a £20.5M move to Liverpool, followed by Bruno joining moneybags Man City. By the end of the window, Nacho also heads to the north of England, joining rivals Man United. I’m not sure if any of them have realised how damn cold it is up there. That window swiftly ends, settling the bottom 4 finishers in the competition.
Returning to the world of actual football results briefly, and there aren’t many shocks to be seen. Man City finish 6th, Everton get relegated and Borussia Mönchengladbach reach the Champions League Semi-Finals. A few players see their team relegated, as Werder Bremen, Caen and Freiburg go down, so there could be a few casualties once that disappointment has set in. But all in all, the footballing world has coped just fine.
Loyal Players Remaining: 46
Abreu Club Count: 23 clubs in 10 countries
Odd Winners: None

2017/18

With everyone’s transfer budgets warmed up, it doesn’t take long for the action to get back underway. The previous season has barely finished before Chris Solly trades in his morals for a Premier League move to Norwich. Sergio Álvarez joins him in England, making the slightly odd move to Bournemouth before a big £52M move sees Koke trade loyalty for a big move to Man City. That’s the most surprising move so far, as I expected many of the players at top clubs to stick around. The final two transfers of the window take us to sunny Spain, where both Xabi Prieto and Mario become massive glory hunters, trading in their life long clubs for Atletico Madrid and Barcelona respectively. Javi López, having left Espanyol to join Valencia last year, immediately realises his mistake and rejoins Espanyol. It’s too little too late though, his status as a one-club man is already ruined.
The winter window comes and goes without even a hint of action, so things may already be starting to quieten down. Over in Brazil, Sebastián Abreu has his contract with Bangu come to an end after a good season but fails to attract any new suitors before the European season ends.
Around the world, things keep ticking on relatively normally. Watford take a surprising FA Cup win despite finishing rock bottom of the league, meaning they’ll have European nights alongside their Championship campaign. The loyalty of Seube, Höfler and Bargfrede is rewarded, as Caen, Bremen and Freiburg are immediately promoted back to the top tier. Las Palmas head in the opposite direction, which causes David García to hand in an immediate transfer request. The Spaniard could very well be the next player to go.
Loyal Players Remaining: 41
Abreu Club Count: 23 clubs in 10 countries
Odd Winners: Watford (FA Cup)

2018/19

My suggestion that things may be quietening down is immediately disproved by the biggest move so far. Bayern Munich legend Philipp Lahm makes a huge £82M transfer to Manchester City, throwing away all he’d built up at Bayern so far. But it doesn't end there, as 2 more huge transfers are finalised right after. First Claudio Marchisio drops Juventus, clearly not happy with them losing the title to AC Milan, and moves to Real Madrid. Then Daniele De Rossi trades in Roma for Barcelona. Whilst both have moved in real life, I didn’t expect either to fall so early in this, being icons at such huge clubs. A little later, David García makes his predicted move away from relegated Las Palmas, opting to stay in Spain with Osasuna. And then on the final day of the window, one last move. David Zurutuza decides the Premier League is more to his taste and joins Noble at West Ham. Javi López continues his tour of Spain, realising rejoining Espanyol doesn’t earn him back everlasting youth, and so heads to Sevilla instead. Currently, he’s moved around more than the specific journeyman player I chose to actually move around. Talking of, Abreu does find a new contract, heading back to Uruguay to join River Plate Montevideo.
The winter transfer window is again mostly quiet, with very little potential action. There are still some transfers though, as Robin Knoche becomes the 15th person out, heading to Borussia Dortmund. Then a legend moves on, as Iker Casillas decides that barely getting any game time behind Keylor Navas isn’t worth it, and so joins Monaco for a mere £11M. I guess you can't escape the real world after all.
The summer of 2018 means a World Cup, a tournament which regularly creates bizarre results in Football Manager. This year is no exception, as the likes of Italy, Belgium and Argentina fall in the group stages, before South Korea beat both Germany and France in the knockouts. The final between Brazil and Croatia proves 100% less heartbreaking than the real 2018 final for the Croatians, as they become champions of the world. In domestic football, Man United take all the English trophies on offer in a Quadruple, whilst Freiburg find themselves relegated yet again, as do Montpellier.

2019/20

Another season, another transfer window, another set of swirling rumours around our one-club men. Borussia Dortmund manage to steal away another of our competitors from a German rival, taking Timo Horn early in the window. Having been relegated yet again last season, Nicolas Höfler decides enough is enough and leaves Freiburg for Hertha Berlin. Over in Italy, and Chievo Legend Sergio Pellissier finally caves, leaving his relegation-threatened lifelong team for European battlers Fiorentina. But that's all the entertainment I can offer, no big signings this time around I’m afraid. Let's go see what Javi López is up to instead. His merry-go-round of clubs continues yet again, moving over to Deportivo de La Coruña in the latest of his ever-decreasing value of transfers.
January retains its typical bleak and dull atmosphere, with no sign of action whatsoever until the final day of the window. Hugo Mallo decides to try and add to his trophy cabinet and heads to Man United. Not the worst career move to throw away eternal life for considering their dominance right now. And with his departure, the total number of players that we've lost hits a nice round 20.
In the Premier League, Man United claim their 4th title in a row, exerting total dominance over everyone. But where one dominance rises, another falls, with Dortmund claiming the Bundesliga to knock Bayern off their perch. The shock of the season comes in the Coupe de France, where 3rd tier LB Châteauroux knock out Lyon, Auxerre and PSG before falling to Caen in the semi-finals. With Monaco having fallen to 4th tier SA Spinalien, Caen beat an easier opposition of RC Lens in the final, leading to Seube lifting the teams first-ever Coupe de France. Not bad for a player I expected to never lift a trophy. On a less joyous note, Höfler having left relegated Freiburg, sees his new team Hertha relegated immediately too. It seems there is no escaping the 2. Bundesliga!
On the record front, Gianluigi Buffon sets a huge benchmark, breaking the 200 cap mark for Italy. With no-one else close to him, he’ll stay the leader for a long time. Messi also breaks a boundary, climbing through 400 league goals during his career at Barcelona. Like Buffon, he’s way clear of any competitor, and unless a miracle happens that sees him abandon Barcelona, I can’t see anyone catching him soon.

2020/21

2020 arrives, and with it, two important points arrive too. Firstly, everyone gets de-aged for the first time in this experiment. The 20 that have left get to watch from a distance thinking about what could have been. Second, the initial contracts are set to expire, so anyone that hasn’t re-signed will out the door. Which is exactly what happens to Víctor Valdés. Having barely appeared for Barcelona since his return, he leaves the club on a free and heads to the southern French coast to join Marseille. A day later and someone else leaves France, as Romain Danzé who decides one de-ageing is enough and moves to Schalke. Tony Hibbert also struggled for games at Everton despite his new youthful look, and so he walks out the door. He opts for Aston Villa, who to my great surprise have sunk to a mid-table League 1 team. Feeling left out, Spain joins in, with Oier Sanjurjo departing Osasuna and moving to Villarreal. The window is then capped by a bizarre final free transfer. Despite appearing regularly, Xavi isn’t offered a new contract by Barcelona. Man City can’t quite believe their luck and snap up the Spanish wizard a few days before the window shuts.
Winter brings with it just one transfer in its usual action-heavy way. Roberto Torres leaves Osasuna, making a £35.5M switch to Atletico. I’m not sure whether Atletico thought they were getting a different de-aged Torres because that can only be described as an overpayment. Either way, that means we've now lost over half the competitors.
Euro 2020 passes, and Croatia prove their World Cup victory was no fluke, becoming both champions of the World, and champions of Europe. On the Continental front, things have been fairly predictable so far, at least until this years Europa League. Hoffenheim escape a tough group and go all the way to win the entire thing. Not bad for a team that barely qualified in the first place. Oh, and Messi wins a little thing called the Ballon d’Or for the 10th time. I think he’s only just getting started.

2021/22

The 21/22 season begins with two transfers on the first day. Loïc Perrin makes his way to the Premier League to join Leicester. But that's a minor splash compared to the other move, as after 768 appearances and 302 goals, Francesco Totti leaves Roma. It seems wrong to see it, but he’ll now be wearing a Man United kit. Dortmund continue their run of stealing loyalty, this time bringing Tony Jantschke into the fold. Another contract is run to the end, forcing Álex Bergantiños out of Deportivo without much choice, before being picked up by Cagliari. Mikel González opts to end his time at Real Sociedad, joining Pellissier over at Fiorentina. And as August comes to a close, it looks like Totti may be the only big departure. That is until Gianluigi Buffon decides to call time on his Juventus career. It’s an odd move, with the legend going sorta sideways from a regular starting Juventus spot to Bayern Munich. But there’s no going back now, as his 636 league appearance career with the Italians comes to a close. Two legends down in one window.
No season is complete without a single winter signing to warrant an entire separate paragraph, and this season is no different. Sergi Roberto moves away from Barcelona, in a £24M move to French giants PSG. A good way to guarantee yourself plenty of titles I guess. Abreu also makes a winter move, adding Guarani in the Brasilian second tier to his collection.
Roberto’s decision proves to be a good one, as PSG go on to claim their 10th one in a row. Not many surprises elsewhere, although Real Oviedo get close to pulling off a shock in the Copa del Rey. The second tier team beat Osasuna, Barcelona and Sevilla on the way to the final, but ultimately Real Madrid prove a step too far. Elsewhere everything is won by a team you’d probably expect. Exciting stuff.

2022/23

With the pool of players rapidly decreasing, very few of the crew are even wanted by other clubs anymore. Perhaps deterred by their steadfast loyalty? A few moves do still happen though, so we’re not dead yet. Firstly Anthony Lopes gets fed up of PSG dominating his league and moves to AC Milan for a better shot at a trophy. It’s not long before that story is forgotten, as the biggest transfer fee in the competition so far is dropped. Andrés Iniesta is stolen away from Barcelona, in a huge £86M move to Man United. The midfield maestro fell 2 appearances short of 600 league games for Barcelona, but with his new £300K per-week contract it’s not hard to guess why. That proves to be all the action for the summer window, with no-one willing to top that huge move.
After half a season of hearing their noisy neighbours gloating about their star signing, Man City snap. And if there’s one thing City are good at, it’s splashing the cash. In probably the easiest negotiation over fee Barcelona has ever had, Sergio Busquets makes a £95M move to the sky blues. Yeh, that’ll show United. Once again no-one wants to get in the middle of the awkward Manchester squabble, and the winter transfer closes with a whimper.
The second World Cup of this experiment comes and goes. This time all the giants make it safely through the Group Stages, but it’s Africa that really excels. Morocco make the knockouts, Egypt battle through to the Quarter Finals, but Nigeria come out best. They beat South Korea and Argentina before falling valiantly to France in the Semi-Finals. A 1-0 victory of Italy does see them finish in an impressive 3rd place, becoming the first African team to finish in the top 3 of the World Cup. France win the title on penalties after a deceivingly action-filled 0-0 draw with Spain. The domestic scene follows that with a similar lack of real shocks. In the Carabao Cup, Bournemouth beat Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United on the way to lifting the trophy. But it’s the lesser Cup, so outside of Bournemouth no-one really cares. PSG finally have their grip on the Ligue 1 broken, as Casillas leads Monaco to a fantastic title. Otherwise, all the league titles and cups fall to teams you’d expect them too. Another thrilling year.

2023/24

Literally nothing happens. Thomas Kessler decides that no team can ignore his existence for 20 seasons in a row and get away with it, leaving Köln to join Trabzonspor. So as I said, literally nothing happens. Even Javi López moving to yet another club would be more interesting than that.
The same applies to the footballing season. Asides from Casillas captaining Monaco to a Champions League title, or Atletico winning the title again, exactly 10 years after their last win, everything is frustratingly normal. And even those two events are hardly shocks.
Before I start to lose hope, there are a few interesting moves over the last few years from the losing group that are worth highlighting. First season mover Bruno didn’t make the impact he hoped and found himself moving to the lovely Stoke. Robin Knoche barely received any playtime at Dortmund and found himself cast out to Dinamo Zagreb. Even in League 1, Tony Hibbert could barely get any game time at Villa and so moved on the Scunthorpe in League 2. But the winner of the oddest move has to be Zurutuza, who somehow manage to pull off a move to Liverpool after West Ham found themselves relegated, only make a few disappointing performances, before being released on a free to join Al-Arabi in Qatar. Not quite the career he was anticipating when joining the Premier League I bet.

2024/25

The summer transfer window arrives for another season, and with it finally comes a huge deal! Javi López has found yet another club! Hooray! As for actual competitors, absolutely no movement whatsoever. Even from Abreu, who’s been at Guarani for 2.5 years now. Manceau, Lewington and Seube complain to their managers about playing time or relegation, but none of them actually make a move anywhere. So our final 13 will add another 5 years onto their career length.
There are some fun statistics from our 51 worth mentioning at this point. Buffon leads the way with both total league appearances (935) and international caps (259). His caps are at a point where they’re too high for the game to display, as the value is stored as an unsigned 8-bit integer, and so has rolled over to just show 3. Most appearances for a single club goes to Dean Lewington however, who thanks to being a regular sits at 857 league appearances for the MK Dons (or 889 if you include Wimbledon). In the goals department, the winner is obvious. With almost 500 league goals, 100 international goals and 14 Ballon d’Or awards, Messi sits on top of everyone. On the international scene, he’s run close by Müller and the fast-approaching Kane, but for league goals, it’s not even close.
2024 brings with it a Euro tournament, which doesn’t provide much in the way of surprises, but brings with it some exciting high scoring matches. All ending in a 4-3 victory for a Thomas Müller led Germany over neighbours Netherlands. Which I’m sure went down very well. The domestic scene decides to spring a few shocks though. In Serie A, Roma claim an impressive title thanks to main striker Iheanacho, their first since 2001. The German and French cups provide surprise winners, in the form of Hertha Berlin and Dijon. Both cap an impressive run by beating their respective league winners, Bayern and Monaco. Even the continental tournaments turn up too. First Monaco cement their place as a top power in football by winning their second Champions League in a row. That coming a week after the best win there could possibly be. Tottenham win the Europa League! Screw the other stuff, that last part is all I need!

At this point though it’s fair to say that the competition results are more interesting than the movements of the players. Which is the perfect signal that things need to speed up a little bit. So from now on, updates will be every 5 years, which lines up perfectly with player age resets, letting us see who has made it to the next checkpoint.

2025-2030

Another round of de-ageing hits, and you’d think that would incite some interest in our final 13. Instead, it’s a ghost town. We do have an immediate dropout though, as Nicolas Seube finally gets fed up with his lack of playtime at Caen and heads for Panionios in Greece. A year later the situation is repeated. I’m not entirely sure what his unhappiness was about, but Iker Muniain decides he’s had enough of Athletic Club and moves to Hamburger SV. At least he left on exactly 100 goals for Athletic though, a nice round number. With 11 left, a standoff to reach the top 10 ensues. For 3 years no-one budges in their show of loyalty, until in 2029… Dean Lewington leaves for Derby County on a free. It’s a huge move, with Lewington becoming the first man to break through 1000 league appearances for a single club before leaving. But he’s moved on now, and it won’t be long before that record is broken. That move means we’re left with our final 10 contestants. Terry, Iraola, Messi, Susaeta, Noble, Jourdren, Müller, Kane, Manceau and Bargfrede have secured a top 10 spot, and now all that’s left to do is fight it out for number 1.
Over in Brazil, our anti-one-club man continues his journey, although it remains in Brazil for the moment. Only 2 clubs are added to his count, with a long stay at Atletico Goianiense followed by a £2M move to top tier Coritiba. I’m kind of hoping he starts to make enough waves in the Brazilian league to move to Europe and add some new countries to his history.
Those that fell before the first de-ageing are retiring, finishing off their magnificent, or in some cases very un-magnificent, careers (as losers). Javi López finishes his fine anti-loyalty tour around Spain with 7 transfers to his name. Schmelzer, Nacho, Solly, Álvarez, Koke, Mario, Prieto, Marchisio, De Rossi, David García, Zurutuza, Knoche, Höfler, Pellissier, Mallo, Horn and Hibbert end their careers. Many, such as Nacho, Horn and De Rossi stay just as committed to their new clubs as they did their old, finishing out their careers after just a single transfer. Of the pensioners, Sergio Pellissier manages to rack up the most career league appearances and goals, at 894 and 246, although that’s largely thanks to a huge head start. De Rossi dominates on the international scene, earning a whopping 197 caps over his 30-year career. Naturally, all those records will be blown out the water once the next group start retiring, but it’s nice to have some benchmarks.
Around the world, plenty has gone on worth hearing about. The Netherlands claim their first-ever World Cup win, beating Brazil in the final, whilst in the Euro’s Germany win their second tournament in a row. The Gold Cup throws up a few interesting results too, as first, the Mexico B team win it, with their A team tied up in the Confederations Cup. Then 4 years later Canada take the title, only the second time in their history. Over in Italy, Lazio find themselves relegated as the league starts to shake itself up a bit. But other than that, domestic football remains relatively unspectacular. Oh except… TOTTENHAM WINNING THE LEAGUE. Didn’t even have to reset it and we won it before Arsenal did. North London is very much Lilywhite now, suck it Gooners!

2030-2035

Another 5 years pass and to start with it looks like the top 10 are going to hold firm. Eventually though, the temptation of money proves too much for one man. That man is Geoffrey Jourdren who trades in his starting slot at Montpellier for a cosy backup contract at PSG. Then comes… dead silence. Not even a rumour, or an unhappy player. No-one even hints at leaving for the next 4 years, which means we end the period with nine players on the books. The real waiting game has begun. Even our journeyman Abreu is moving in a very slow way, as a five year Coritiba stint finishes with a free transfer to Red Bull Brasil. I think my hopes for a European move have died.
At least there are a lot of retirements to run through. Bruno, Lahm, Casillas, Valdés, Danzé, Oier, Xavi, Torres, Perrin, Jantschke, Bergantiños, González, Roberto, Iniesta and Busquets hang up their playing boots. That does leave us without some noted legends, with Lahm, Casillas, Iniesta and Busquets reaching 200 caps for their country. You’d think Spain would have won more with that golden generation. Casillas and Xavi also both hit 1000 league appearances thanks to a strong head start before the experiment. But it’s Andrés Iniesta who is the most loyal of the bunch, racking up nearly 600 appearances for his original club before departing.
Five years leaves plenty of time for interesting results once again. England take a World Cup win, which is always a sign of the apocalypse, only made more bizarre by Scotland making the semi-finals in the same competition. Portugal take the other title in that period, whilst the Euros also see a surprise winner in Switzerland. France provides the biggest shock at club level, as Lille come from nowhere to win Ligue 1, and then immediately revert back to mid-table once again. Otherwise, the time belongs to Manchester City. The oil bar… sky blues take 4 out of 5 titles in both the Premier League and Champions League, with all that cash flinging finally paying off.

With just nine players left, once again we get a transfer fairly early on in the period. Early as in the first transfer window, which makes me wonder why they waited so long. Anyway, Mark Noble has had his patience tested by West Ham’s yoyoing between the Premier League and Championship a bit too much and finally caves. He makes a £20M move to Burnley, who… are doing the exact same thing. Not sure that was the brightest idea. Like the previous 5 years though, one transfer is all we get. None of the others move, despite some pretty heavy unhappiness from Bargfrede and Manceau. Abreu keeps up his trail, running out his contract with Red Bull Brasil and opting for Chapecoense to reach 29 clubs in his career.
With very few moving recently, that also means less and less are retiring, as just 7 ex-competitors leave the game. Totti, Buffon, Lopes, Kessler, Seube, Muniain and Lewington call time on their football life. The fact they all stuck with it for so long means there’s so impressive stats between them. Totti racked up 1154 league appearances, with 768 at Roma. Dean Lewington, after leaving MK Dons with 1003 appearances finished with a total of 1287. Italian legend Gianluigi Buffon finished with a whopping 1307 league appearances, but perhaps more impressively, 334 international caps. But the single most surprising statistic goes to Thomas Kessler. Despite barely playing in Germany he manages to notch a grand total of 7 goals after his move to Turkey. Maybe if he’d been a striker he’d have actually played at Koln. Oh and Seube ends his career Greek. Because why not.
As per every time, a quick look around the world’s results is needed. Spain win back the World Cup titles, whilst Italy take a Euro win. Argentina, Mexico and Australia claim all their continents international trophies in the window, so no massive surprises there. The domestic world isn’t exactly littered with shocks either. Brescia win a Coppa Italia, and Nîmes Olympique grab 4 top 5 finishes in a row in France, but there’s not really much to shout about. I think it’s best to just get on with the next de-ageing.

Down to 8 now, so it’s getting tougher. And a lot slower, so slow in fact that not a single transfer in our group happens in five years. For a moment I was excited to see Manceau at Recreativo de Huelva, but that was just a loan. So I was back to being crushed. On the plus side, Abreu makes some huge steps. He adds not just 1, but 2 new countries to his history! The first is Portugal, in a huge step up to join Braga. As usual, it’s just until his contract ends, before he moves on to Frankfurt in the Bundesliga. He’s hardly setting Europe alight but I don’t care, he’s actually moving!
There’s only one retiree to talk about too, as pretty much everyone has already gone. Geoffrey Jourdren finishes up with 925 total league appearances. It probably could have been a bit more, if he’d not spent 10 years of his career being a backup at PSG and Bayern. On a far more interesting note, Terry breaks through 1500 career league appearances. Kane also hits 256 international goals, which results in the number resetting to 0 just like caps. So the game has him on 96 caps with 11 goals, when the actual numbers are a stunning 352 caps with 267 goals.
Having seen my disappointment last time around, the world decides to liven things up. Denmark become both Champions of the World and Champions of Europe in 2042 and 2040, although they lose the European title to Germany 4 years later. At the continental level, the Champions League stays on track, but the Europa League brings some bizarre winners into the mix. Nîmes Olympique, Real Sociedad, Leicester and Bristol City all win a trophy. It seems Mark Noble finally made a right move transferring to Bristol City, as the club is now a strong top 6 Premier League side. Manceau wins a Coupe de France at Angers, but it’s still Nîmes making waves, forming a big three with PSG and Monaco. It may not be long before either Nîmes or Bristol City win their league, which is not something I expected to be saying.

2045 kicks off and once again Manceau deceives me. This time it’s a loan spell in Denmark with Brøndby that had me thinking he was gone. Well you know what they say, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice… I’m probably gonna fall for it. It looks like there’s going to be no moves whatsoever once again, until June 2047 arrives and I notice a contract is set to expire. Imagine my shock when Lionel Messi is not offered a contract by Barcelona and is let go. It’s made doubly worse by the fact that of all teams to pick him up, it's Atletico Madrid. Apparently, 37 Ballon d’Or awards aren’t good enough for Barcelona anymore. I don’t even care that nothing else happens. That’s enough to stun me.
Over in the retirement home, Mark Noble moves into a room. After an up and down career, the Englishman did manage some silverware with Bristol City and ended his career with 1317 league appearances. He even earned not just 1, but 90 England caps across his 44-year career.
Around the world, interesting results are still cropping up. England grab their third World Cup win beating Colombia, whilst Honduras win their first-ever Gold Cup. Much to my bitter disappointment, Arsenal win 4 of the 5 Champions Leagues on offer, as well as 3 Premier League titles. Chelsea have a period of bottom 10 finishes which deeply upsets Terry, whilst over in France, Chamois Niortais begin to try and join the top 3. Don’t worry I’ve never heard of them either.

2050-55

With the world still reeling at the fact the Messi has moved from Barcelona, everyone kinda forgets to make any moves. In fact, Messi is the first person to move yet again, leaving Atletico in a very cheap 34.5M move to Man City. Which is more in line with where I originally expected him to go. Abreu finishes one contract, at Hapoel Be’er Sheva, and moves onto the next, but it’s with Monterrey so doesn’t count. Sebastian, it has to be new clubs. John Terry is starting to get frustrated with a Chelsea team that has really fallen from grace. The Londoners barely survive relegation in 2052/53, so Terry may be the next to go. Or maybe I know nothing and it’s completely random.
No-one retires this year, so let’s take a brief look at some statistics of our remaining 7 + Messi. All our players have now reached 1000 appearances, with Bargfrede in last at 1173. Messi has crossed 1000 league goals, now a full 300 clear of the chasing pack of Abreu and Kane. On the international level, Thomas Müller becomes the first player to need a rollover of caps twice, moving on to a massive 524 international caps. But it’s Kane who still leads the international goal stat, nearly breaking 350, a full 50 ahead of the German.
Müller does, however, grab a World Cup win for Germany so I’m sure he won’t be too upset. At least until they’re deposed by Holland 4 years later. On the continental level, Bristol City win another Europa League title beating previous champions Espanyol. Middlesbrough also nearly earn a trophy, having joined Bristol as a top 6 team. But the winner of the biggest shock, although I did say this might happen, goes to Chamois Niortais, who topple the dominance of PSG and Monaco to capture a miraculous Ligue 1 title in the last season of the period.

2055-60

The summer window of 2055 opens and as I warned may happen, there’s an almost immediate transfer. Fed up with Chelsea’s mediocre finishes, John Terry decides to move on. Unfortunately for Chelsea fans, Arsenal is his next club, which I’m sure will cause a few shudders. A year later and another move comes around, once again due to unhappiness over the club’s performance. Surprisingly it's Thomas Müller,who's annoyed by the fact that Bayern haven’t won a Bundesliga title since 2048, and so runs down his contract. Leverkusen almost earn his signature, but eventually its the glory of PSG that proves too much to resist. But we’re not done there! Another player runs down their contract, opting to move to Vitoria de Setubal in Portugal. Vincent Manceau finally makes a real move rather than constantly faking me out. So with another 3 players down, we’re left with our final 4. The race for the top 3 is hotting up now!
We do have a retirement this time thanks to the transfer window livening up. The world's best-ever player, Lionel Messi, retires from football. He ends up on a total of 1858 league appearances, scoring a massive 1068 goals in this time. 1430 appearances and 895 goals of those belonging to his 45-year career at Barcelona. On the international scene, he earned an impressive 505 caps and 276 goals. But it’s the awards where he shines. 279 individual awards, 82 team titles, 22 league titles, 6 Champions League titles, 45 Ballon d’Or awards. What makes it even crazier is 41 of those Ballon d’Or awards were in a row, as he earned every single one from 2015 to 2056. I don’t think I’ll see another player like that crop up in any save, truly the world’s best player.
Looking out on the world, I can say that it’s a Chamois Niortais player that breaks Messi’s streak, as the French team claim another two Ligue 1 titles. It’s hard to say they’re a “surprise winner” at this point. Bristol City finally make the full step up to join the big guns, winning 3 Carabao Cups, 1 FA Cup, 2 Premier League titles and even a Champions League trophy. If any Bristol City fans want this save to give themselves hope over the future, I can send it over. Internationally it's the era of Portugal, as they claim both the Euro and World Cup trophies.

With so few players left, now is probably a good time to speed it up once again. The final four will be tough to budge, so how about we move to 10-year intervals to try and cut down on dead years. And I'll be moving to the comments, because I've hit reddits character limit.
