Then/Now

Not sure how many people keep there old turns, but i do/used too and the furthest back team sheet ive got is s20 w1 and my team looked like;

Manuel Almunia
Lukasz Fabianski

Daniel Agger
Barkari Sagna
Gael Givet
Pascal Cygan
Andre Ooijer
Jean Alain Boumsong
Lauren Mayer
Gael Clichy
Vedran Corluka

Enzo Maresca
Aaron Ramsey
Aliksander Hleb
John Spicer
Nigel Reo-Coker
Daryl Fordyce

Carlos Villanueva
Mikael Forssell
Kaba Diawara
Carlos Tevez
Quincy Abeyie
Nicklas Bendtner
Robert Snodgrass
Carlos Vela
Eduardo Alves

back in the day when david bentley was blitzing the premier league, Arsenal and Birmingham where in the championship. Liverpool where still in the premier league, Elano Bulmer was scoring for fun. And Mark Noble was the talk of the transfers with a "high ts"

and now its;

Goalkeepers

Wojciech Szczesny
Lukasz Fabianski

Defenders

Bakari Sagna
Gael Givet
Johan Djourou
Stefan Savic
Gael Clichy
Laurent Koscielny
Chris Gunter

Midfielders

Aaron Ramsey
Yohan Cabaye
Lassana Diarra
Emmanuel Frimpong
Francis Coquelin
Matt Jarvis

Forwards

Florent Malouda
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Robin Van Persie
Theo Walcott
Nicklas Bendtner
Rafael Vander Vaart

It's really strange how far teams come on in this game, obviously we've all seemed to have settled down now and any transfer that happens just seems to try and beat the previous deal of the season.

Just thought id share and maybe others will too? Would be interesting to see Tom's, Will's, Rich's and Jamie's since they started off a lot worse then someone such as myself did!

I'd love to be able to do Barcelona's but I can't even remember how long i've been in charge there! I know that from my original squad, i now have none of those players left!

I can do it for Flamengo, just so happens that the last turn made it 2 seasons there for me. So here is Season 20 Week 12:

Goalkeepers

Ignacio Drago
Carlos Roberto
Joao Bosco Freitas

Defenders

Silvinho Pereira Claudemir
Marcelo Caravello
Anderson Alves Da Silva
Carlos Henrique Souza
Andre Luis Bahia
Jeferson Lima Gaucho

Midfielders

Sebastian Kehl
Fredson Camara
Luis Roberto
Rivaldo Kiese Gonzalez
Cordeiro Schneider Silva

Forwards

David Giraldo
Kayke Moreno Rodrigues
Andrezinho Luiz Tavares
Douglas Rodrigues
Jean Carlos Silva Ferreira
Paulo Sergio Luiz De Souza


I remember scouring the net trying to find out who the hell most of these players were!

And now at Season 22 Week 12:

Goalkeepers

Costel Pantelimon
David Ospina

Defenders

Victor Ruiz
Nicolas N'Koulou
Alvaro Doimnguez
Andoni Iraolo
Filipe Luis Kasmirski
Diego Leal Godin
Joao Miranda De Souza Filho
Davide Astori

Midfielders

Oriol Romeu
Markel Susaeta
Elias Mendes Trindade
Diego De Souza
Bruno Soriano
Ignacio Camacho

Forwards

Kevin Gameiro
Rodrigo Moreno Machado
Kleber Laude Pinheiro
Roberto Soldado
Ande Ayew
Keirrison De Souza Caneiro


On the funny side although i'm much happier with the team now, Flamengo would've been relegated last season had it not been for the league restructuring. Its all looking a bit brighter with them sitting 5th in the league and they have a pretty healthy youth academy too.
