End of season update:
First of all, the league. I had absolutely no problems winning the league, conceding only 1 goal for the first 20 games.
I then started to play some youth players to give them some games, which meant that my results didn't quite live up to those in the beginning of the season
League table:
Next, the Champions League. After the horrible start with a 4-1 defeat, things started to work out quite well, and I managed to qualify for next round:
Unfortunately I drew Real Madrid, drew 0-0 at home but lost 2-1 away, and that was the end of the european adventure for this year.
After all, I'm both satisfied and surprised that I managed to qualify for the next round, so I can't really complain.
The Ukrainian Cup was won without problems after a 2-0 win against Illichivets ind the final.
Very satisfying season, to be honest, winning three trophies and doing well in europe.

Manager's top 3:
1st: Jo. Was actually bought as a backup to Lucarelli and a future starter, but soon kept Lucarelli out of the squad (Lucarelli then later pushed Falcao to the bench). 36(6) games, 40 goals, 15 assists, 20 MoM, 8.38 avr. Alreay a legend!
2nd: Daniel Carvalho. Equally good as AMC or ML, and my midfield dynamo. Top assistmaker with 23, and also scored 11 goals.
3rd: Waldo Ponce. A rock in the defence and a main reason why I concede so few goals.
Goals for next season:
I will put all my focus on europe once again, hoping to reach the quater finals this year.
And of course to win everything in Ukraine again
I've got 40 mio to purchase new players for, so I'm gonna strengthen my squad a lot this year - I just don't know with who yet.
Here's my team, any recommendations are gladly welcommed
