Rennais and Stimpy- The Osick FM14 Noob Story

Aboubaker ? I tried and he cost too much
Game vs Montpellier
Got smoked here
Game vs Nantes
Big Rivalry game. End up making an epic comeback to win very late in the game.
Game vs EAG
19th ranked team. Had some very good chances and just can't convert on them.
Trying more attacking tactics since that is the strength of my team. I have gotten more scoring chances in the last two games than it seemed I got in the other games. Still not impressed with my team. I may go to 4-4-2 that I was toying with.

Was that your tenth match? When you get to the tenth match, you should take a "snapshot" and show the league table, your leading statistical players, and your schedule/record. I'm planning on doing this every 10 games.
Here at the Rennais and Stimpy dynasty report value our followers and any input they have. As requested here are snapshots that you requested. We look forward to your continued involvement in our journey.
It is funny how some things are unfolding in very similar ways in our dynasties (FERET) while we basically have the opposite results in our games, lol. I'll post my update later, but I was really lucky to draw against Valiencennies.
Solid start to your first 10 games with those 5 wins, that's what it will take to end up in the top half!

From our conversations, it seems like Toivenen and Pitroipa (Although both have turned it on lately) not living up to expectations and Feret playing good enough not to sell are the most common things.
Byik beasting for both of us too. I'll post my stuff later today.
It's been awhile since I played so here is what happened today.
Game vs Toulouse FC
First off the video is muted because of a claim of this song:
Game vs Toulouse FC
First off the video is muted because of a claim of this song:
- My midfield was getting run so I figured I would move Pajot and Makoun from the CM position to a CDM position. Seemed to have helped
- Corner goallll. I started John Boye (It's really hard not saying his full name) because I needed him to have some exposure so I can ship his ass out.
- I give a team a riveting speech about something.
- Toulouse has a pretty good chance right out of the gate so I'm glad that they didn't score
- Toulouse with another chance. Nice to see my team finally not get scored on with every highlight
- Not much happens after that. It was nice to win against Toulouse
TO LOSE, more like.
Glad John Boye scored for you, he normally just passes the ball to the other team when he plays for me.

Coupe game vs Bastia
- I dominate possession this game pretty much the whole time. This is to be expected. Not scoring on them before half was a bit surprising though.
- Bastia played well in terms of not conceding a goal until they decide to be dirty cheaters and foul in the box. Oliveira buries both of those.
- I fluked out in the draw and ended up with another Ligue 2 game.
- This game is where Costil really shines. He makes some pretty big saves.
- Feret has a nice lead pass to Oliviera.
- OM dominates shots and Costil shuts the door.
- Makoun has a laser go off of a post. Every time I see Makoun I think of Jamie Macoun. Mediocre D man with a sweet push broom
- Rewatching this and a later game (stay tuned) I find out that subs don't like you praising the team when they just got subbed in.
- OM gets a penalty. Which sucks. I actually thought with the game he was playing, Costil might be able to stop it.
- Lose 1-0. Bummer. We had our chances. They had more shots. Close game.
Mine just offered me a contract renewal as well, lol.
I just don't want him for 3 years. He's 31 but he's been my best player. 12 goals and 8 assists in 17 apps.
Looking ahead with 2 strikers likely going back to their clubs, I look for expiring deals for strikers. Sani Emmanuel is probably better suited as a AM R who cuts in and lets a shot go. Also gotta love a 5 4 guy with a rather high heading 
. Only wanted 3500 per week and rotation.

20 league games Review
Sorry for not doing game recaps. I have been rushing through.
Squad
Feret keeps playing well. Biyik is a bauce. Pitroipa has been turning it on lately. Nobody has really been terrible (Unless in the 6s is turds). Emerson is pretty bad but he is going to be replaced by Verboom next year so not too concerned. It hurts that Great Osick is getting lost in the shuffle since he seems to do well. Toivonen isn't playing up to his paycheque but I still feel he is a good player and he will be the only Striker under contract after Romero and Oliveira go back to their clubs. I would like to use Welinton and Grosicki and the others lacking matching match fitness more so I can keep them fit. Makoun is getting some attention and I may sell him, move Feret to CM and then rotate Grosicki, Pitroipa and Romain in the winger spots.
Table and Match History
Not sure what to say here other than I win most of my games. Given PSG's goal diff, I will have to win when they lose or just tell Lille to fuck off and accept 3rd. It's a close table.

Coupe Semi Final vs Ajaccio
In effort to keep my team fresh for league games, I benched a few of my starters. I played a game on Saturday, this game was on Weds and then played Ajaccio again in league a couple days after. Well it turns out to be a loss, which sucks but should work out better for league standings.

Youth Intake Day
I didn't seem to get quite the haul @Travis7401 did. He got like twice the amount of guys I did. The two best players in my opinion are Rio and Abbes.Although Abbes looks like a twat.

30 game Review
In a similar position I was 10 games ago except that Oliviera is out for a few weeks
. Ola has turned it on recently and has gotten two POMs IIRC in the last 5 games. Romero and Oliveira were developing quite a good 2 striker set. Team has played well other than getting dominated last game vs OM.

STADE WINS FRENCH CUP
John Boye is clutch. I think every game I play him, he scores. I don't know if he does this for @Travis7401 but Costil always makes some great saves. With this video, Stade qualified for the Europa, which was something I promised my players the first meeting with them.
Against PSG, I decided to tinker with my formation, I moved Tony Danze and M'bengue up to WBs. After 2 games (ligue game and cup final) against PSG, I have gotten more chances it seems. Also my formation now looks like a 8. Pretty cool if you ask me.

I'm glad I have a fellow savant... or maybe Stade Rennais were just poised to make a run in football manager?

Those are different roles, for example his backs are at CWB or Complete Wing Back. Each position has various roles that changes how they play, like Ball Winning Midfielder or Defensive Pivot or Deep Lying Playmaker
