# ENGLISH # # Greetings Hivers #  # How are you my friends? I hope you are doing well. In the previous post I started playing FIFA 10 to remember a little of my beginnings, but I had problems in the manager mode, apparently it is a bug in the game that does not allow me to transfer players. So I decided not to continue with that idea in FIFA 10, but I was looking for the requirements of FIFA 14 and I realized that my pc meets the minimum requirements to play it. I'm going to apply the same dynamic here, playing with the worst team in the English fourth division, to turn them into the best team in the world, playing on legendary difficulty. It will be a challenge, but I'm confident that my FIFA skills will make me achieve this goal hahaha. #  # As you can see, I have a budget of only 350,000 Euros for transfers and 22,250 Euros to pay the salaries of the new players joining the team. It's going to be a bit complicated to sign players from other teams, but nothing I can't solve, folks 😎. I will opt to bring in free agent players to help us in the first few seasons, as well as the odd loan player if I see it's worth it. #  # I have a rather humble squad with an overall average of 58. I need to restructure the team with a 4-3-3 attacking formation, as I like to play with an agile 10, who moves the ball in the upper part of the midfield. I don't have an MCO in the team who is going to be my 10, so this is the first player I need to look for in the market. I also need to change my central defenders, as they are not as tall as I would like them to be, as I need to have a good aerial defense and also use them to take advantage of every corner opportunity to score headed goals. #  # Unfortunately for me, the budget is very little and I could only sign this central defender of global 68 and a height of 1.94 meters. It is very good to have an excellent aerial defense, since in these leagues, opponents tend to put a lot of crosses. #  # I was also able to sign a midfielder named Pedro Azogue. He is an all-rounder with a lot of soccer potential. I think he, along with Liam Sercombe, will give me a good game in the middle, supported by Jimmy Keohane, the MCO I have placed for the moment in the team, who despite not having very good technical attributes, has agility, balance, acceleration and sprinting speed. This is what I need at the moment to be able to speed up the game offensively, as I usually use the MCO and the 9 as two rotating players, where both usually change to put some filtered pass or wall that leads to a good shot on goal. #   # Fortunately, I have two quite fast and skilled wingers. David Wheeler and Jake Gosling, both very good and young, so I will have two players that will probably serve me several seasons, all depending on their evolution and the club's economy, because if I have the possibility to sign better players, I will do it without hesitation. #  # After the sale of the starting striker, who I decided to sell due to his advanced age, Tom Nichols has asked me for a chance to take over the position and prove his worth. Tom will now be the starting striker, with Reid on the bench to replace him. My intention is to rotate them, as they both have good attributes and potential to raise their overall. They are also skilful and suit the style of play I told you about and wish to implement along with Keohane. #  # This is what the starting lineup looks like for the preseason, after selling several players and making the necessary signings to be able to put together the team with this new formation. We still need to improve at right back, but I am confident in Dawson's potential and I know he will provide good defense and offensive support when needed. We have three pre-season friendlies coming up. The opponents are Kuban Krasnodar, OHL and Volga club. I don't know these teams, but they will probably be tough opponents to beat. I am not surprised that all the matches will end in a draw or by a minimum difference. #   # First excellent preseason game, getting to know a little of how the team handles itself and applying the new tactics. I felt that the players are very much in line with the style of formation and fast play that I want to propose. The player of the match was Wheeler, with a very good performance, dribbling and creating good offensive situations. Gosling also had a very good performance on his flank, dragging marks and opening spaces to play with Keohane and get some shots off from outside the box. #  # In the second game I forgot to take a screenshot at the end of it. It was very close and the team was more composed. An excellent play with Nichols ended up being a good goal at the beginning of the game. In 90+2 they almost tied it for me with a cross, but thank goodness it was only a scare. I hope that these games will serve to begin to improve the form of each player and thus achieve a better individual performance from each one. #   # The last game of the preseason was super intense and hard-fought, with chances for both sides, but unfortunately we were unable to take advantage of them. Only two mistakes made by the rival defenders, in which I could not score. The clearest chance was a rebound that I volleyed Keohane into an empty net, but I gave it too much power and sent it over the crossbar. Player of the match was Goian, the newly signed central defender. He was impeccable in every tackle and aerial duel, saving us from probably three goals from the opponent. He was well worth the signing and I know he will have his place assured for a few seasons at the club, as long as his age does not affect his performance. #     # Players like Dawson, Sercombe, Wheeler and Gosling are already gradually increasing their attributes. They are young and have good potential, especially Sercombe and Gosling, who for their age, already have a very acceptable overall. Sercombe I know will have an exquisite development and can be a great starter in midfield, putting in good short and long range passes, as well as shooting from outside the box when he gets the chance. #  # Another player who has great potential is Pedro Azogue. I have used this player in other races a long time ago and he has always stayed in the team thanks to his evolution. He may not be good enough in the long run to be a starter, but he can be a great substitute who can come into games and contribute offensively and defensively. He hasn't started to evolve yet, but I know he will very soon. #  # At the moment the players with the best form are Sercombe, Azogue, Woodman, Goian and Krysiak, the goalkeeper who has made some very good saves in the preseason. I know that soon the other players will get their best form and will be able to perform at a higher level. See you in a few days to continue with the next signings, the start of the league and cups. I hope to bring you good news and games won hahaha. Thanks for getting this far. Leave me your comments about the game or any suggestions that could help the team squad. best regards friends! ✌ --------------- # # Credits # - Image used for the cover extracted from [here](https://vanz-soft.blogspot.com/2015/03/fifa-14-pc-game-download-full-version.html) - All in-game images were captured with my computer. - The final banner was created in [Canva](https://www.canva.com/) - Translation made in [DeepL](https://www.deepl.com/translator) # ------------
