After my second season of FML I have to say I have made vast improvements to my team. In terms of players I made a few good purchases which combined with solid experienced players made my team very competitive. Despite my relatively low team wage of 80k a day, I was able to defeat the odds and beat a few notable teams in my federation. These include the champions of this season "Brutalj Deluxe" from Israel as well as "Frankfurt Universe" which is currently #15 in the server. I also defeated "Lionell the Great" in one of my games, who was #3 in my FA this season and was definitely a challenging opponent.
I believe that my team was very strong and the changes I made to play a more offensive 4321 and 460 formations paid off in the end. My most notable players this season were:
Vilson - 26 year old DC, amazing defensive abilities combined with a deadly aerial ability and free kick taking which granted him 22 goals and 4 assists as a center back. His average rating was 7.02, definitely on my MVP list.
Nosworthy - 34 year old DC/DR, I bough him as a last minute bargain for 8k. He was certainly a key player for my team this season despite his declining attributes. He is an extremely talented DC which is his natural position but he was also my best DR playing well in offensive and defensive roles. I usually kept him on the bench for most of my substitution needs in terms of defense. I'm now trying to sell him but due to his age it is unlikely anyone will pay the price and I am fairly certain he'll end up retiring in my squad.
Hibbert - 33 year old DR, he came in half way in the season after I traded Lacroix. Despite his age and declining attributes, this player had a 800 pound wage which was an absolute bargain for his talent. He is an amazing defensive full back and I hope to keep him around for longer with that kind of wage demand.
Gargula - (33) What can I say, he was my star during my first season and he played just as well this time around. He's reliable, strong and an amazing set piece taker. I hope to keep him around until he hangs up his boots. His average rating was 7.00, with 5 goals and 10 assists.
Velcovici - (30) During first season he was in my rotation list and did quite well, but not until this season he started to shine. This 30 year old left winger is probably the most underrated player in my team, and he's a total bargain to have as well. Definately keeping a lock on his cheap contract. He ended this season with 6 goals, 9 assists and 5 MoMs.
Lafita - (30) Lafita is supposed to be the greatest player to wear my teams jersey so far, he was certainly my priciest purchase, but was he worth it? For sure! This guy is absolutely amazing at setting up plays from the right wing and he can also play as a AMC when I need him to. He ended the season with the highest average rating in my team, being 7.24, 11 goals, 8 assists, 4 MotMs. Few full backs can ever hold this guy as he is fast and can dribble really well, he's also extremely creative and technical. I'll be aiming to keep him around unless I get a nice offer for him.
Bamogo (32) He came in half way during the season through a swap with Rodrigo Tosi. It was a hard trade to make as I had been enjoying Tosi's football for a while. I have to say the trade was good, Bamogo really fit into the squad well, specially playing the AMCL role during my 460 games. He's fast, strong and unstoppable on good days.
Wellinton Silva (28) One of my biggest purchases in FML, he came in at the end of season 1 and displayed amazing potential. Due to tactical changes I made during season 2 he became a rotation player rather than a first team player. Despite all that he still was one of my stars of season 6 creating 9 goals and getting a 6.94 average rating. He is a great lone striker, strong, tall and great in the air, I am currently looking to sell him simply because his ability is being wasted in my team, I just can't play him enough.
I ended the season with the following team:
FC: Wellinton Silva (reserve: Jean Carlos)
AMC: Bamogo, Betinho (reserve: Quinn)
Midfield: Velcovici, L. Gargula (c), Lafita (reserve: Ruzicka, Roni)
Defense: Velarde, Vilson, Hoyos, Hibbert (reserve: Nosworthy, Mauro, Saez)
GK: Ismael Gil
