The FMSB Academy: Mid Season Update ‘14
July 17, 2010 in FMSB Academy, Football Manager by badderman
I realised, having advanced the game until December, that I’d completely forgotten about screenshots so they’ll be included in this post. On other news, we have graduates plying their trade in the Premier League, Championship and League One. Time to check on their progress.
James Bishop made 15 league appearances for Sheffield Wednesday, setting up one goal and earning two man of the match awards. Despite this, Sheffield Wednesday have struggled so far and find themselves down in 19th place in the Championship and are currently 5 points clear of the drop. Bishop has also played in all four of England U21’s qualifying games this season of which they have won all four.Owen Edwards has so far played in 21 of Nottingham Forest’s 23 games this term and has set up two goals. Nottingham Forest have really struggled this term and rather than fighting for an instant return to the Championship they find themselves battling it out at the foot of the table and currently sit in 20th place, 1 point outside of the relegation zone.
Will Luck has made 20 appearances for Coventry, scoring six goals and setting up one. However he has suffered from a recurrence of his injury from last term and will once again spend the next four months out with a torn calf muscle, making it unlikely that his loan deal will be renewed. Coventry are sitting 13th in the Championship, 10 points off the play offs and 10 points clear of the drop.
Alistair Paterson has made 13 appearances so far this season, setting up one goal in the process. Sheffield United have struggled upon their return to the Championship and their hopes of bouncing straight back to the Premier League have been dealt a severe blow due to their rather inept start to the season as they failed to win 12 of their opening 15 games. They have managed to recover to 15th position and find themselves 8 points clear of the drop and 12 behind Leeds in 6th place.
Phil Taylor has begun to cement himself as a Premier League quality player, having made 13 league appearances, scoring once and setting up three goals so far this term. He has primarily been deployed as an attacking left winger by new Arsenal coach Javier Aguirre. His breakthrough season has also seen him garner 6 England caps, having made appearances for the World Champions in qualifying victories over San Marino, Czech Republic, Israel and Montenegro as well as in friendly victories over Argentina and Tunisia. Taylor made the right appearance on his debut, scoring England’s second in a 4-1 victory. He also scored in the 2-1 victory over Tunisia. Arsenal, however, have struggled, and currently sit in 10th in the Premier League. They are, however, only 6 points of the Champions League places but have played two more games than 4th placed Aston Villa.
