Hey guys,
I've just brought Everton through the first season and have started the second season. My achievements for the first season which I was fairly proud of were: (only played 3 seasons on FM so far, so I'm fairly new!!)
For those of you who have already looked over the thread I've made some changes. Namely adding some colour and moving the second season to a seperate post.
The first two seasons are summarized but I will update it after friendly matches, start of january transfer and end of the season for the third season...

Summary
Best Result:
2-1
Euro Cup Qtr Final against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, London
Despite having Jagielka sent of with a red card at 45mins, my team kept the game even and Anichebe scored in the 111min of extra time
Worst Result:
1-4
Manchester Utd, Old Trafford
My first team were overrun by Man Utd for the whole match and put in bad performances getting ratings around 6 for most
Personal Confidence:
Premiership - Happy with the outcome. I was pleased with the small number of goals conceeded but the team seemed unable to convert many chances into goals meaning many games weren't as decisive as they could have been.
League Cup - Delighted with the result against Arsenal who until then had remained unbeaten by my team. The team put in a consistent performance, reaching the final with ease.
FA Cup - Despite reaching the 6th round as per the boards minimum expectations, the loss to Man City was dissapointing as we were extremely even teams throughout the season.
Euro Cup - The team had an extremely good run of results, finishing top in the group stages and overcoming Chelsea in the Quarter Final. The loss to Porto was a shame but the team put in a good performance.
Signings:
Federico Vilar - Became my first choice GK and was an asset to the squad; bargain! Also got Singing of the season. Martin Jiranek - didn't perform as well as stats suggested he could but acted well as a sub. Leonardo - Very inconsistent player, who although occasionally putting in very good performances, would mostly upset the rythm of the team. I'll keep you guys updated!
