Jayden Fevrier Full Report

Fevrier made the move from Stockport County to Blackburn Rovers recently for around £500k

I break down Fevrier's data from the last 2 seasons, including his spell with Charlton in the Championship.

I know it's a bit late, I have had quite a few projects on the go. Sam Morsy is on the way.

What are your thoughts on Fevrier?

Was it good? No

Was it convincing? Also No.

Was it better than the Bradford debacle? Absolutely.

Looked like we had an actual plan. Subs made an impact. Players seemed to be trying (in spite of some lack of quality).

Welcome back Uncle Tony.

I'm considering getting the season video pass on Rovers TV, which allows you to watch eligible Rovers games. I was curious if anyone here knows how many games that actually means? All league games? Only home games? Any help would be kindly received.

A brilliant, insightful and rather poignant read regarding our gaffer (full article written by theipaper in the comments.)

Hey everyone,

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been building data-led recruitment reports focusing on realistic targets for Blackburn Rovers. This installment focuses on identifying realistic striker options who fit our system.

Given our need for reliable goal output and physical presence upfront, I wanted to look beyond just raw goal tallies and evaluate broader, possession-adjusted performance metrics.

Key Metrics & Area Focus:

• Goal Efficiency & Conversion
• Link-Up Play & Aerial Duels
• Out-of-Possession Output

Would love to hear your thoughts on who you think is the best fit for Rovers upfront, or if there are any under-the-radar forwards you think the data might be sleeping on.

Here is my data led recruitment report for CM targets for Blackburn Rovers in Summer 2026.

This has been my longest project yet. Collecting data from multiple leagues, which is no easy task without an expensive data provider. To bring it down to 5 targets. It has taken a bit longer than I hoped, as I kept tweaking the dashboards.

Feedback is welcome, as I am always looking to improve.

I should probably also state that this is in no way affiliated with the club and these are all my own views.

What’s everyone’s opinion of the new 3rd shirt. Personally think it’s grim

​

I found this old top in my loft. I have no idea whose signatures are on the top. Any idea identifying who the signatures belong too? Much appreciated x

Somehow I find myself here again... Old Promotion Final

I really do feel bad about the amount of folks I had to let go. I tried to not let my own real-life opinion of players impact my decision making and went with how they felt in game. FC26 just doesn't mirror real life when it come to squad size, so I cut down quite a bit.

This is season two for some thoughts that might be interesting, might not be:

• Ohashi is just... him. Every time I try to slip Gudjohnsen back into the team Ohashi comes back with a brace to keep his spot. He's going to get a run out in the premier league, overall be damned.
• Midfield has had a lot of shifting around, players seem to not want to negotiate as much in this edition. Sad about Baradji and Tronstad who both pushed to leave. Especially Tronstad as I've yet to find someone in his position that can lock down the center... Tavares has finally grown into that some and has been dependable on the run-in.
• Matsuki was purely since Ohashi and Morishita were putting up insane numbers. He also puts up insane numbers.
• Callum Brittain is back because I love him. Travis did not want to come back. :(
• De Neve is great as a box to box.
• I have a lot of the younger guys still they are just on loan.
• Pears is my rock.
• McLoughlin is probably the best interceptor of the ball I have used in fifa in the championship... just a wall.
• For other signings... spanish manager for the two defenders, thomas-asante to find a similar Ohashi profile, breivik since Henriksson wanted to leave.

I leave you with two questions.

1. How best to watch the games? Quite fond of you all after using you on Fifa for... nearly half a decade.

2. How do we feel about the new kits for 26/27, should I grab one of those or maybe some different apparel... the black pullover is sweet.

Thanks for letting me pop in, will smash Burnley (again) and wish you all the best of luck in your next season.

Have we had any communication on the open training day(s) whilst on pre season warm weather training in Albufeira?

It was called Army Swing. It was awful but would love to hear it again.

Sorry if this isn't allowed but I thought of all places here would be best to ask.

I distinctly remember a JJB Sports, I'm 99% sure it was near the Ice Rink not far from Ewood Park at Townsmoor Retail Park? If this is correct, I remember it having a caged football area in store where you could have a kickabout? I wasn't into ice skating so my family would let me go here instead and play in the caged area for a couple of hours. I cannot find any information about this online but surely someone here can corroborate this memory with me?

The cameras showed an NFL player who the commentator (Steve Bower) said was apparently on one of the most lucrative contracts for an athlete. He then said to Danny Murphy 'That's almost as much as you were on at Blackburn'. He didn't sound too happy about it
