5.1. Resurrección
Contents: Life after Brenner; Minimum Fee Release Clauses; Stolen Youth; Learning Lessons and Scouting a Striker in Football Manager 🔥 🎵 Suggested Tune: I Am The Resurrection – Stone Roses (Acoustic Cover) In the last 12 months we have lost two of our star players to release clauses, with Antonio Marin moving to Barcelona for €20 million followed by the recent sale of Brenner to PSG for €60 million. In both cases, the release fees were limited by agents and as soon as their new clubs showed an interest, both players were unwilling to negotiate new contracts and as such moved on. As is the case in real life, Player/Agent power unfortunately has prevailed and if you are ever managing in Spain my only advice is: Pay a few extra quid a week and bump up that Minimum Fee Release Clause 💰. Recap Let’s do a very brief recap on our progress in this save so far to date: If you haven’t already read my last post (which was an absolute tragedy), I recommend hopping back quickly as there is a spoiler alert imminent! After finishing second in La Liga and losing not one but two finals in the Europa League and Copa Del Rey respectively, our top scorer Brenner (42 goals!) left for the bright lights of PSG after having his €60m Minimum Fee Release clause activated. This means that we are on the lookout for our new #RoyDeLosRovers and while we were devastated to lose Brenner, it’s always 🔥🔥 going shopping with a deep transfer budget. Let the scouting begin!! Scouting a Striker in football manager In real life, give me Alan Shearer any day – partially because I am a Newcastle fan and partially because as all round goalscoring class and thunderblasts go, there weren’t many better than the man who still to this day has scored the most Premier League goals in history – a league that has since seen the likes of Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Thierry Henry and Sergio Aguero. Shearer was the very definition of an out-and-out goalscorer, with arguably the best Finishing and Shooting ability ever to grace the Premier League; it’s almost a crime that he never won a major trophy in his outstanding career and as heroes go, Alan Shearer has long been one of mine. In today’s game however and more importantly in FM19, I believe that attributes such as Pace, Off the Ball, Technique and First Touch are even more important for the modern day Striker particularly when we look at the level of Defenders playing currently, whereby Pace and Movement have become equally important for Centre Backs which we have seen through the likes of Raphael Varane and Virgil Van Dijk, therefore our search for our new #RoyDeLosRovers shithouse goal machine will be based on this type of Striker more so than a powerhouse forward. Options Despite the fact that we finished second last season, we are still a relatively small club that struggle to attract the top top talent in the game and cannot compete with the likes of Barcelona and the Madrids in terms of transfer fees and wage budget etc. Granted our transfer budget is around €64m however the reality is that Barcelona and Real Madrid spent €172m and €110m respectively on new players this season alone. Based on our current budget and on the players that appear interested in joining the club, below are our Top 5 candidates to replace Brenner and potentially become our new Roy De Los Rovers: 1. Divock Origi With 13 goals in 35 games for Wolves last season following a €40m move last year, Origi would bring the Pace, Movement and Work Rate needed to replace Brenner in the same role. Admittedly he has won me over following his and Liverpool’s recent Champions League heroics in real life, however he is quality in the game and while he appears very interested in joining, his asking price may be a potential stumbling block if we are to have any budget remaining to bolster our squad depth. 2. Jean-Kevin Augustin As speed and movement go this guy certainly fits the bill; he hasn’t yet proven to be as strong a goalscorer and in fact hasn’t even broken double-digits for RBL in the past 4 seasons, however with 9 goals in 22 appearances he is both a cheap and potentially explosive option to bring to La Liga. 3. Ryan Cassidy I really like the look of this lad, and it’s an absolute belter of a bonus that he is Irish as well and scored 12 league goals in 35 appearances for Watford last season. He is arguably the best Irish player I’ve seen in FM for years, and his Dribbling, First Touch and Technique attributes are outrageous for a wee lad from the Emerald Isle. Gonna be hard not to sign this lad even though we already have his compatriot Adam Idah in our ranks ☘️. 4. Fabio Silva I’ve previously reported on this kid in my “Dubbed the Next” article which I wrote for WeStreamFM.com, as he is touted as the “next Eusebio” at the start of FM19. Praise indeed for any 16 year old however in real life he is already being recongnised as having huge talent and potential, so much so that even the guys at Football Manager/Sports Interactive were tweeting about him signing a new 3 year deal for FC Porto after scoring 33 goals in 39 appearances for their U19 side. In-game and in the year 2022, he has just turned 20 years old after completing his first full season for Porto, scoring 14 goals in 27 appearances – his potential is off the charts, not to mention his Pace (16), Off the Ball (16), Technique (17), Agility (17) and Finishing (15). He will command a much larger fee but f*ck me if we were to get this one over the line. 5. Alfredo Morelos This guy seems to keep popping up every now and again both IRL for his disciplinary issues as well as in the FM world where I have seen a number of Content Creators speak very highly of him as a goalscorer and all round Striker option. His attributes are exactly what we are looking for in terms of Pace, Off the Ball, Finishing, Work Rate etc and again offers a very reasonably priced option for Brenner’s replacement having scored 14 goals in 22 games for Rangers last season. How the hell do we pick from these?! Roy De Los Rovers V2.0 After much deliberation, we decide to smash our transfer record and bring in Fabio Silva for a fee of €55 million (€35m up front). It’s a gamble in that we are blowing most of our budget on a 20 year old with one season under his belt, however looking at his attributes and potential I am certain he will become an absolute superstar and I am confident that this guy will be our Roy De Los Rovers for years to come. We are literally breaking the bank to get him, however it’s worth it knowing that he also comes in with a €151m Minimum Fee Release clause which I don’t expect any club to meet in the near future (or at least I f*cking hope not). That deal leaves us with around €35m in the bank, which we spend extremely well IMHO as we bring in not one but three world class players from the Bundesliga to add a new dimension of quality to our squad. Mickael Cuisance arrives from Borussia Monchengladbach for a fee of €40m (€20m up front), followed by Lukas Klostermann who arrives on a €30m deal from Bayern (€15m up front), and finally the man who should be Irish Thomas Delaney, who we manage to bring in on a free transfer from Wolfsburg after his contract expired. These three are joined by a couple of hot prospects both permanently and on loan – we bring in a couple of Newgens in the form of Screve Kitoko and Predrag Blazic, as well as a few traditional loan signings including Carles Alena for his 5th season on loan at the club, Rodrygo on loan from Real Madrid, and Frederik Norrestrand returns on loan from Liverpool for his third spell on the island. All in all we’ve done some serious business bringing in 9 players, and the fans are already starting to forget Brenner’s name as they watch these high quality youngsters arrive on the island to begin training for the 2022/2023 season. Finally after an extremely busy transfer window, our squad is now taking shape as follows: Goalkeepers: Sondre Rossbach (Denmark), David Babalola (Spain) Defenders: Lukas Klostermann (Germany), Frederik Norrestrand (Denmark), Jordi Grasa (Spain), Ruben Duarte (Spain), Yann-Aurel Bisseck (Germany), Ruben Semedo (Portugal), Screve Kitoko (Germany) Midfielders: Thomas Delaney (Denmark), Carles Alena (Spain), Lucas Tousart (France), Predrag Blazic (Serbia), Mickael Cuisance (France), Xadas (Portugal), Jadon Sancho (England), Pedro Luis Acosta (Spain) Forwards: Fabio Silva (Portugal), Adam Idah (Ireland), Dejan Joveljic (Serbia), Rodrygo (Brazil) As you can probably tell – our squad is extremely young, and I am conscious that Thomas Delaney is our only player over 30 which means we might have a task on our hands here due to lack of leadership and experience. Sir Alex has already proven that you can win with kids, however time will tell if we can repeat that considering the average age of our squad is just 22 years old versus a league average of 27. Stolen Youth Last season we got so excited about nearly getting a son in Football Manager (see here for more info) that I completely missed the fact that we had a couple of absolute wonderkids come through the ranks. I had spotted potential in a couple of players but didn’t once think to act on it or do anything outside of the ordinary when it comes to our youth players…….I was wrong. As if we hadn’t endured enough hardship in losing Marin and Brenner to Release Clauses, out of nowhere we received double bids from Barcelona for not one but two of our newest youth prospects on the last day of the transfer window – Central Defender Mustapha Hermach and Attacking Midfielder Airam Medina, both of whom have the potential to graduate towards the first team within a couple of years particularly Hermach who looks a beast at just 16 years old. Despite my best efforts to warn off Barcelona, they were persistent as f*ck and I knew we were in trouble looking at both these kids’ release fees (€2.1m for Hermach and €5.25m for Medina). Hermach’s fee was met straight away and we were powerless to stop him leaving, however Barcelona’s offer for Medina was €1m short of his release fee therefore, knowing they would end up meeting his value, I went back with a counter-offer of €5m which included a Buy Back Price of €10m – not much consolation however at least if he turns out to be the GOAT we have an option to bring him home on the cheap!! Suddenly we were saying goodbye to two of our hottest prospects, and if I hadn’t already learned my lesson before it’s learned now – 🚨 RELEASE FEE 🚨 RELEASE FEE 🚨 RELEASE FEE 🚨. Thanks for reading as always, hopefully you’re still enjoying FM19 now that we are gone past the half-way point – if not, I recommend to keep reading a few blogs and consuming FM content for some inspiration! My next post will give an update on how life after Brenner is going as well as capturing our 200th game as Tenerife Manager and the first half of Season 5 – really enjoying this save and hopefully you have been too, if you haven’t already please feel free to read back from the start of this journey to find out more about the…

4.5. Bottle or Treble
Contents: Challenging on all fronts, European dreams, fixture carnage, hitting the bottle hard and getting kicked in the nuts by Football Manager. 🎵 Suggested Tune: Message in a Bottle – The Police (Spanish Acoustic Version) April 2022 CD Tenerife are embarking on our biggest ever end of season run-in; 2nd in La Liga with 7 games to go, 5 points behind Barcelona but with THREE games in hand; Qualified for the Europa League Semi-Final where we will play former Premier League Champions Liverpool, and have reached the final of the Copa Del Rey where we will face league leaders Barcelona in our first bid for silverware since winning the Secunda Division back in 2019. Can we keep our bottle and stay in contention for not one but three trophies in just our 4th season in charge of Los Chicharreros? The Spanish word for treble is “triplicar”, and while everyone on the island is thinking it, not one member of Los Chicharreros dares to mention it out loud as we prepare to welcome English giants Liverpool to Tenerife. Here’s how we line out against Liverpool where we need to make the most of Home advantage knowing that a difficult return leg in Anfield awaits. We go with our 4-4-1-1 formation using a Gegenpress style strategy – our focus is to press high and expose Liverpool on the flanks where there will hopefully be space caused by high pressing Wingers/Inside Fowards and also by their attacking wing backs in Benjamin Henrichs and Alex Telles. We will implement a direct passing style to move the ball up the field as quick as possible for Brenner to do what he does best. Liverpool will kick us off here in Tenerife… WHAT A START FOR TENERIFE WHO TAKE THE LEAD AFTER JUST 22 SECONDS 🔥🔥!! Xadas makes a darting run on the counter and plays an outstanding ball to Brenner, who smashes it home to make it 1-0 and one of the quickest goals ever scored in Europa League history. Tenerife couldn’t have wished for a better start! I was wrong , they could and did – just three minutes later a corner from Xadas is headed back across the box by Brenner and Jadon Sancho is there to head the ball past Bizot in the Liverpool goal – after just 4 minutes Tenerife are 2-0 up and look to be coasting through to the final! We continue to dominate the first half, and somehow we are 4-0 to the good when the half-time whistle blows – Brenner completing a first half hat-trick to bring his tally to 38 goals in all competitions. From there we switch to a more possession based strategy to simply contain and frustrate Liverpool, and the game looks set to finish 4-0 until Sadio Mane gives Livepool a glimmer of hope with a 90th minute consolation goal – advantage Tenerife after Leg 1 of the Europa League Semi-Final. Total Gridlock Whatever way FM has simulated our fixtures, the month of May is absolute chaos in terms of our fixture schedule. We find ourselves with 4 fixtures in a week and 7 in just over 2 weeks, a lot of rotation will be needed not to mention that we also somehow have 4 away league fixtures in a row. Unfortunately the “European hangover” proves too much to handle – we pick up back to back 1-1 draws against Granada and Alaves in the league followed by a disappointing defeat at Bilbao where the only highlight was Brenner’s 40th goal of the season, and suddenly it’s advantage Barcelona in La Liga who are 1 point ahead with two games to play. Before that however, we have our 2nd leg Semi-Final clash with Liverpool in Anfield where we know that if we at least can score a goal then the Europa League final should be waiting. We live dangerously, and in the end a goal from Brenner just before half-time gives us a 5-4 aggregate victory as Liverpool win 3-1 on the night – almost a bottle job but not quite! In the other Smi Final fixture, despite holding them to a 0-0 draw in the first leg, Borussia Monchengladbach are trounced 5-0 by Milan in the 2nd leg and it’s the seven-time European Champions who will meet Tenerife in the final which will be played at Villa Park on 18th May 2022. One Bottle.. 🍾 Thankfully we don’t suffer the same European hangover this time around, and we pick up back-to-back wins against Malaga and Villareal in La Liga. Unfortunately so too do Barcelona, and the league goes down to the wire with the Catalan giants one point clear on the final day of the season. We travel to Celta Vigo knowing that only a win will keep our title hopes alive, however we also know that we will need a miracle from Malaga at the Nou Camp to actually hand us the title. Of course, neither of the above happen – on the last day of the season we completely bottle our chances and end up losing 2-0, while over in the Nou Camp the celebrations are well underway as Barcelona beat Malaga 3-1 to finally reclaim the title from Real Madrid who have won it for the past 3 years running. The only good news is that Real Madrid’s defeat in the Madrid derby paves the way for Bilbao to finish 3rd and it’s the year of the underdog surely as we finally start to see a gap between the Galacticos and Catalans at the summit of Spanish football. Two BOTTLEs.. 🍾 🍾 La Liga runners-up Tenerife are looking to make history in their first ever European Cup final, taking on Italian heavyweights AC Milan who despite having won the European Champions League on seven occasions have never actually won the Europa League previously. Both teams name a strong first XI, however Tenerife will be without key man Jadon Sancho who misses out through injury. Tenerife were explosive in their Semi-Final first leg against Liverpool, however it’s Milan who are quickest out of the traps and take a 1-0 lead on 11 mins thanks to well known FM wonderkid Andrei Ivan, whose lead is soon doubled on 19 mins through Samu Castillejo and it’s all falling apart for Tenerife here in Birmingham who are 2-0 down at half time. Manager MaddFM brings on Mason Mount in place of Lucas Tousart, and it looks to be an inspired change as the England midfielder wins a penalty on 50 minutes which is calmly converted by the ever composed Xadas – however Milan respond just three minutes later via Ivan’s second goal to wrap up the game, and sadly for Tenerife they hold on to win the game 3-1 and it;s another disappointment for Los Chicharreros who will fly home to Tenerife empty handed but with their heads held high having defeated the odds to reach the final. THREE BOTTLES.. 🍾 🍾 🍾 So far we have bottled the league and the Europa League final, can things get any worse for Tenerife this year?? They can and do – Xadas‘ opening goal on 14 mins is cancelled out by Martial’s 34 minute equaliser, and both teams are evenly matched at half-time by a scoreline of 1-1. Tenerife look strong in the second half, however lady luck is not yet finished with Los Chicharreros who have to endure Xadas missing a penalty on 46 minutes followed by a disallowed goal from Captain Yann-Aurel Bisseck on 76 minutes, and the game finishes 1-1 despite Tenerife dominating. Extra time follows, however it’s another stalemate and the 2021/2022 season will be capped off with a penalty shootout here in the Copa Del Rey final between League Champions Barcelona and League Runners Up Tenerife live at Estadio Olimpico de Sevilla. ..Floor So, after starting this blog post with a potential treble on the cards and our best chance of silverware to date – we finish the season as La Liga, Europa League and Copa Del Rey Runners-Up which we would have been more than happy with at the start of the season however it’s still hard to take after coming so close to actually winning one of the three competitions. Overall it’s been a highly successful season, reaching two cup finals and finishing 2nd in the league for the second year in a row – not to mention the fact that we officially found our #RoyDeLosRovers in the form of Brenner who scored 42 goals in all competitions, 30 of which were in the league making him Top Scorer in the competition ahead of Patrick Schick and Diego Costa and earning him Player of the Season for the year. Two things happen at this point – suddenly there is interest in Brenner from a host of top European teams, and when I go to offer him a new contract he advises he is not willing to sign one due to the interest shown. All of a sudden the alarm bells are ringing as bids are submitted around the €40m mark, especially considering the kid has a €60m release clause which was as high as we could get from his bollocks of an agent when he signed last year. Surely none of them will match it?! Just when we had finally found our Roy De Los Rovers, his head is turned by oil rich PSG and we are literally powerless to stop him – within two clicks of the mouse, Brenner is a PSG player and we are back to square one in our Roy De Los Rovers quest. Here we go again!!! Thanks for reading!! Due to work commitments and the recent hot weather we had a bit of an FM hiatus, however it’s great to be back and in my next post we will be on the hunt for a new Striker now that Brenner has f*cked off and we have a pile of cash in the bank to spend. If you have any scouting suggestions please post them in the comments section below, or else feel free to shout me up on Twitter here – retweets are also appreciated and don’t forget to also subscribe below 👍. Cheers, watch out for a new post in a few days! MaddFM aka Paul.
