Promising finish of the season
Those who follow my Hull story should recall the problem series of matches that I had before. I decided to make some changes in the main squad. Diego Buonanotte was moved from MC to AML position (it was position of Marquinhos heretofore). Nacer Barazite became a new stable central midfielder instead
. There was also a slight change in my tactical approach: I arrived at a conclusion that it’s better to use my tactics in away matches as well, but with turned off Forward Runs of flank defenders and deeper Defensive Line. These changes brought me to pretty successful row of games:
Final Premier League table
You see that The Tigres didn’t reach the season expectations of Euro League position. But we were fighting for it till the end! Only 3 points divide Hull from Liverpool. At least we overcame Chelsea this season and, of course, it’s my best Premier League result in this game with Hull.
By the way, you may see from the table above that Tottenham and Aston Villa became almost grand-clubs like Arsenal or Man Utd (and even somewhat better that Liverpool and Chelsea!). Surely, it will be very tough competition for places in European tournaments between these 6 teams, Manchester City and my Hull next year!
Players of Hull
Traditional statistics of Hull players:
Several nominations personally from me:
Most Valued Player – Diego Bounanotte
Leading defender – Olexandr Chyzhov
Leading midfielder – Diego Bounanotte
Leading forward – Milovan Rakic
Surprise-player – Nacer Barazite
Best young player - Milovan Rakic
Best assister – Diego Bounanotte
Best goal scorer - Milovan Rakic
Milovan Rakic
This undoubtedly talented Serbian wonderkid was bought for $29M from Russian Krylya Sovetov. He was the best scorer of Russian Premier League at that moment. His adaptation process in the team was delayed. Rakic had only 4 goals scored before the last 9 matches and then he showed superb effectiveness scoring 6 goals more:
After this brilliant finish he got English Players Young Player of the Year award!!! ![]()
Chelsea wants me 
Finally Chelsea board sacked Luis Felipe Scolari and made the following proposition to me:
I didn’t think much over this generous suggestions and … rejected! ![]()
The Tigres are on the way to the triumph, I believe in it sincerely!

great blog, really interesting to read. you are doing a great job with hull. Good luck. At the moment i am southampton and im doing okay, i have been told to keep them from relegation and im safely in mid table, very inconsistent though.
How many leagues do u use by the way?
Good finish, Vitaliy. And it's great to see you doing see you bringing Hull further up the Premier League table year by year - as well as Chelsea's failed attempts at greatness. :)
NOOOOOOOO!!! how could you reject chelsea (not just cus i support them) well ok it is cus i support them lol great job though
u shudve taken the chelsea job but hey! ur doing amazingly well at hull! keep it up!

I ever use this product key when I install patch 9.2 on January. Because my hardisc was broken so I just install fm2009 and use that product key but it comes error 1003.
Someone please help me or maybe I need other product key?
Hi Vitaliy,
I have just started my own websit and was wondering if you would like to look at it and maybe become a follower.
Thanks.

I like your blog but i cannot seem to post a coment
George Wood,
Sorry about the comments problem I will try fix it soon.
Hi there.
I have few questions for you guys.
I'm leeds, 3rd season got promoted to premiership, and i'm looking for a good ML. He shouldn't be older than 25 years and has to be fast. I was looking at Buonanotte, but my scout says he's prone to injuries. Is that true? Can you recomend me a good ML?
Tnx,
Bojan
Hey Boja, I'm Leeds, sixth season, for ML I used Balotelli or Sergio Mota when i got to premiership and I still have them. You can try Tsevomir Todorov (who can play anywhere in midfield and I use as MR and sometimes ML when squad is injured), Alex Teixeira (who I use as forwards but has been there as well). Or try Diego Calderon, who is my left back but is a natural ML. Cheers, hope it works for you
I'm in sixth season and Chelsea and Liverpool are quite bad as well.
Liverpool positions since 2008/2009
5-4-6-4-8-5(26 fixtures played in last one)
Chelsea positions since 2008/2009 (this one is more radical)
4-3-3-7-10-10 (same, 26 fixtures played), the problem is they have a very old squad and keep bringing old players, or players around 26, 27 that don't play
Finally, standings:
08/09:ManU,Arsenal,Tottenham, Chelsea
Eurocup:Liverpool, Portsmouth
Gone to Championship:West Ham, Middlesbrough, Sunderland
League Cup:Chelsea won, Liverpool second
Fa Cup:Arsenal won, Newcastle second
Leeds: Won Promotion to Championship, 4th place
Club World Cup: Man Utd won Pachuca
09/10:ManU,Arsenal,Chelsea, Liverpool
Eurocup:Aston Villa, Tottenham
Gone to Championship:Stoke, Cardiff, Wolves
League Cup:Man City won, Aston Villa second
Fa Cup:Arsenal won, Everton second
Leeds: 9th place in Championship
Eurocup: Liverpool lost final to Fiorentina in Germany
Champions League: Chelsea lost to Real Madrid in Spain
10/11:Arsenal, ManU, Chelsea, Tottenham
Eurocup:Everton, Liverpool
Gone to Championship:Bolton, Reading, Middlesbrough
League Cup:Man City won, Man Utds Second
Fa Cup:Hull (ha) won to Cardiff that was in second division
Leeds: Promoted to Premier, 5th place in Championship.
Champions League: Man utd won Chelsea in England
11/12:Arsenal, ManU, Man City, Liverpool
Eurocup:Everton, Aston Villa
Gone to Championship:Ipswich, Portsmouth, Sheff Wed
League Cup: Man utd won, Man city second
Fa Cup: Arsenal won to Watford
Leeds: 8th in Premier
Club World Cup: Man Utd beat River Plate
12/13:ManU, Everton, Arsenal, Man City
Eurocup:Aston Villa, Tottenham
Gone to Championship:Fulham, Middlesbrough, Bolton
League Cup:Man utd won, Aston Villa second
Fa Cup: Chelsea (won to Ipswich that is in second division)
Leeds: 7th in Premier
SO FAR
13/14:Arsenal, Leeds, Man City, Man Utd
Eurocup:Everton, Sunderland
Going to Championship:Portsmouth, Reading, Sheff Wed
League Cup:Final Leed vs Blackburn (THIS COULD BE MY FIRST TITLE!)
Fa Cup:----
Leeds: 2th place
So, the strongest teams in the Premiership are down to two: Arsenal and Man Utd, Arsenal is the best though (in 3 seasons i have never won).
Inspired by your first Hull game I started one too.
Just managed my first comfortable premier league season:
14/15 - 6th
13/14 - 17th (offered Chelsea job but stayed at Hull)
12/13 - 17th
11/12 - 15th (league cup runners up)
10/11 - 17th
09/10 - 3rd (Championship playoff winners)
08/09 - 18th
Main tactic has been buying Man City squad players and South Americans - let me know if you'd like any particular info.
Anonymous,
I have around 15 leagues in my game
Jer,
very good question! Yes, I have some problem with Bounanotte and O'Brien. Suddenly my both team leaders started to dislike one another...
Bojan,
I have no problems with Bounanotte and injuries. By the way, you can also buy one of these young talented players for ML position. Moreover, you can find other prospective MLs in the comments of that post!
Just offer the one with the problem a new contract, then the problem is gone
Ok, I'll try. But I should make offers to both. Because they both dislike one another :)
hey there..
