Forest season ends in relegation...

Nottingham Forest's hopes for survival from the Absolute Gaming Fantasy League Premier Division were finally decided last week as they lost 4-2 to Dx I Jaminator LA Galaxy in the relegation playoff final.

After being 2-0 down, Forest managed to come back and get the game even at 2-2. But the season had been a long one and the Notts Forest defenders legs seemed tired and gave out before the end of the match and the Reds lost 4-2 at the final whistle. Celebration for the Galaxy fans - heart break for the Forest faithful. We caught up with manager Jobi for a few end of season comments...

"Its been a tough season for us here at the City Ground, we've brought in a few players that we thought we needed and for one reason or another, we just didn't seem to gel. I'll definitely be looking to sign a couple of players in the summer - particularly another CB and there shall be a few exits. I would like to thank all the fans for their continued support and we wish La Galaxy all the very best for next season. As for us, we'll be looking to bounce straight back up to the top division and we are looking forward to playing some new teams and visiting new stadiums. WE WILL BE BACK!!!"

Disaster for Urawa Reds

disaster
dɪˈzɑːstə/
noun

• an event or fact that has unfortunate consequences.
  "a string of personal disasters"
  
  
  Urawa Reds manager was in tears as season 22 draws to a close after being relegated from the Premier League, missing out on the play-offs by 1 point. In an interview with The Japan Times TheMalien put the relegation down to too many signings and formation changes in the season which didn't give the new players time to gel, when asked if the team will be looking for a promotion straight back to the promised land he didn't seem too confident, saying that, with the new influx of teams he thought the Championship would be a very competitive league. A few players seemed very upset with the negativity coming from the manager and consequentially handed in transfer requests.
• Dominic Solanke (expected as there has been some interest from new managers)
• Schurrle (Unexpected)
• Weigl (Shock, the best CDM in the FL, Though the manager has made it clear that he will be going nowhere and will be an integral part of next season)
• Lindelof (Surprise, a solid CB who has expresses his interest that he wants to play Premier league football)

Fortuna Düsseldorf - Unbeaten Season

Subz87 rounds up his unbeaten season in the Fantasy. Here is what he had to say:

Last time I was in the Fantasy League it was Season 18. I finally won the Premiership but decided to withdraw from the Fantasy League cause I didn't have the time to be in it anymore.
Four seasons later I decided it was time to comeback. Many new names still but a few I knew. I thought it was gonna be between myself , aaronc333 , TheAshCohen09 and IDanger IMouse for the title.
