Ayoze Pérez - FIFA 20 - Player Stats - FIFA Index

Vol.2:Ch.3
Merry Christmas, triple post today, if I can pull the all nighter to put these out!
July/August 2016
So it's a transfer window so I set to work chopping some dead weight and hiring a pair of 3/3 star scouts to fulfil my Youth Academy.
Along with my previously hired scout they will be scouring England, Spain and Mexico for talent this year.
However being able to afford these scouts was not easy, I had only been given £140k to start as well as £550 in wages.
Transfer News
Incomings
We were limited to promoting a trio of youth starlets and signing one free agent in order to add the squad.
First, Maric Riese a 71 overall 16 year old central midfielder from Spain was promoted straight to the bench of the first team, competing directly with Reed for a starting spot he has already pushed Juan Carlos into the reserves. He is a pretty little dribbler with good passing and an excellent long shot.
Next up was Maykel Tshibumbu of Japan, the 17 year old centre forward will be playing second fiddle to Ayoze Perez after pushing Hoban out of the club all together. Physically he is not the best, but his technical stats are all getting high, hopefully he will catch up physically and become a complete forward.
Seyu-Daut Ukra was promoted to play back up at RB as I intended to sell of Aimar. Nothing at all special he has a max potential of 74 and could be a good back up for years to come - assuming he grows up.
Finally we signed young Italian goalkeeper Lungo signed from the free agents. At 66 overall and 18 years old he'll play cup 'keeper behind Blanco. Hopefully he is not too young to not grow.
Outgoings
So we sold off no fewer than seven players, one on loan and six permanent moves as I shifted the players I did not feel were good enough for the top flight challenge I now face.
Banils moved to Tenerife for £130k.
Jordi Pablo moved of to Eibar for £675k, a year after joining on a free.
Young winger original Simon left us for Getafe in a deal worth £475k.
Rios was also gone this year, becoming the second player to join Tenerife for £275k
Two of our players left for England as last years early season star striker Hoban moved to Norwich for £700k, and Aimar moved to Morecambe for £100k.
The final transfer was Fabian being loaned off to Recreativo, he's really not been the player I had hoped for and so I am hoping for a bit of growth to get a return on our £700k investment.
So let's move onto the real part of the season.
Growth Report:

• Bongi 68 (+1) Perez 74 (+1)
• Adama 70 (+1) C.Blanco 73 (+1)
• Pozo 68 (+1) Zelalem 73 (+1)

The board expects me to finish midtable, and that scares me. My side is strong, but I still feel we could get relegated! If they had given me an alright starting budget maybe it would be possible but now I have to hope against hope.
Results:

• A vs Atletico Madrid, D 3-3 (Pozo 2, Perea) - Atleti took us lightly and ended up 3-0 down in 20 minutes, before Mandzukic headed one back just before the break - Atleti had momentum and pulled the other two back in the second half.
• H vs Espanyol, D 2-2 (Pozo 2) - We get a draw courtesy of Pozo's second brace, but we have the right to feel aggrieved as two of our players were left injured in the box without a penalty given.
• Injuries Reed and Perea are now going to miss a month with sprained ankle and knee injuries respectively. Nightmare.
• A vs Real Sociedad, L 2-1 (Pozo) - Disappointing defeat as two identical back post headers by Vela sink us and expose how weak our full back positions are.

The opening month gave us a reality check on just what kind of challenge we are facing - down in 17th I am left hoping the board will be a bit kinder to me if we do fail to finish midtable.
Pozo has had an excellent start to bursting onto the scene with 5 goals scored higher than anyone else, he was subjected to bids of £9m from around Europe - but I want to hold on to him.
Ayoze also shone in our debut month, as he got 4 assists - though it's more of a tale of individuals than the team right now.
There are 5 keepers on 2 clean sheets as there is no defined leader there.
September 2016
Growth Report:

• R.Blanco 69 (+1) A. Perez 75 (+2) U. Lopez 69 (+1)
• Garcia 70 (+1) Adama 71 (+2) Ukra 60 (+1)
• O. Gil 70 (+1) Tshibumbu 67 (+1) Reed 72 (+1)

Now let's take a look at the team, in FUT cards
And now as a break down of the starting XI, maintaining the false 9 shape I adopted after January we line up much the same as we ended last time, but with some growth indicated in their fut cards. So really there wasn't much to type out.
Results:

• H vs Barcelona, W 1-0 (Reed) - Reed returned from his injury lay-off with a quickfire goal, we then parked the bus and frustrated our way to a memorable win.
• A vs Real Vallecano, D 1-1 (Bellerin) - Just days after stunning Barca we let ourselves down with poor finishing.
• News And big news at that, I decided to switch formation up to a modified 523 false 9 formation, dropping Oscar Gil in between the two centre backs and allowing Bellering and Angelino the attacking freedom they seemed to be taking anyway. Hoping that this would at least stop them being liabilities at the back I am hopeful we can press on.
• H vs Villarea, D 1-1 (Riese) - 16 year old introduces himself with excellent long range strike, but just moments later Blanco got beat far too easily at his near post to let us down again.
• A vs Levante, W 1-0 (Tshibumbu) - Luongo made a string of fine saves, including a penalty stop, as Tshi gives the cup squad a win in a rare league run out.

So we definitely had a better month, climbing up into the mid table spot that the board coveted so much - placing 11th as we hope that we can now maintain this form and keep my job for the next season at least.
Pozo failed to find the net in September but his 5 strikes were enough to remain top scorer by one, though others are catching him quickly.
Ayoze has been joined by Mandzukic as the assist leader on 4, as he also failed to provide an increase in numbers.
Diego Alves' impressive 5 clean sheets thus far makes him the top keeper at this point.
So that's post one of this night, see you in December!
