Danny_H22 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 2020-2021 Season Review So after what has to be considered a pretty good season in Scotland, I grew tired of the cold climates and decided that it was time to find someplace warm again. I shopped myself around for something that excited me but it wasn’t until South African giants Kaizer Chief became managerless after Ernst Middendorp retired that I decided upon my next step towards football management world domination. I was lucky enough to take over the club before pre-season began so had a complete clean slate to work from. The club were defending champions but they were going through a bit of a transition period with a number of aging players losing a step and all of their stars wanting to jump ship to bigger things. In the end, I shipped out 8 players before the season started and another 5 in January and replaced them with a massive 21 players! Not all were players for now but the ones that were would prove to be real difference makers. The fans weren’t happy as we really did lose some huge players; including club captain Itumeleng Khune who went to Feyenoord for a massive 700k; but by the end of the season, I’m pretty sure I won them around ABSA Premiership: My league season went exactly how I like it and we had the title sewn up with five games to go. Unbeaten until our 16th game, it was pretty smooth running all the way to the title, with the toughest run of results being a back to back draw/lose to title challengers Mamelodi Sundowns and AmaZulu FC. Other than that, we ran roughshod and finished 21 points clear of second place – breaking numerous scoring and win records along the way. Telkom Knockout: 4 matches, 4 wins and only one goal conceded. A tough quarter-final against Cape Town City nearly saw us knocked out but a extra time penalty from misfiring striker Tokelo Rantie saw us pick up the 1-0 win. We faced rivals Bidvest Wits in the final and was lucky enough to score an early goal and hold out for the unconvincing 1-0 win Nedback Cup: A first round 2-3 loss to Bidvest ruined our chances of a cup double but freed us up to focus our attentions elsewhere MTN 8: We made hard work of this whole cup, only managing a close 1-0 in the quarter final before being taken to a replay from our cup sparring partner Bidvest. We managed a 2-1 win in that replay but unfortunately were beaten by Mamelodi Sundowns on penalties in the final. Be the Coach Challenge: We faced off against Orlando Pirates in this season opener and I got my Kaizer Chiefs career off to a winning start. Goals from Castro, Manyama and Phiri was enough for a very good 3-0 win where we never really looked in trouble. Orange CAF Champions League: The big one. Qualification was easy with a 10-0 aggregate win in the first round and a 4-2 one in the second saw us grouped with ASC Diaraf, Al-Merreikh and Al-Ahly. It was a tougher group than I’d have liked but the guys did me proud and we won 5 of the six, only dropping points to Al-Merreikh. Next up was league rivals Mamelodi Sundowns and I was confident of securing a result against a team I had beaten several times already. I was right to be confident and we walked away as 4-2 winners over the two games. We were drawn against the defending champiosn ES Sahel in the semi-finals and I was worried for the first time. Turns out I shouldn’t have bothered worrying and we ran out 7-1 winners with their only goal coming late in the second game. After that convincing win I was less worried about a final against Club Africain and two 1-0 wins was enough for us to life the Champions League and for me to write my name in the history books! Top Goalscorer: Striker Leonardo Castro walked into my team at the start of the season and he never walked out – scoring 29 goals on the way to finishing top goalscorer Most Assists: Whilst Castro might have picked up the most goals, I was more impressed by new signing Gift Links who assisted 12 and scored 23 from out on the left. He would have challenged for the top goalscorer title if he hadn’t picked up a mid-season injury Highest Ave. Rating: 250k signing Gift Links paired his impressive season in front of goal with an impressive 7.60 rating Most POTM: Links again with 8 International: Whilst I was busy winning the Copa America, world number 2 Brazil was knocked out in the quarter-finals and promptly sacked their manager. Silly to pass up the opportunity, I applied and was quickly offered the job. It has been pretty par for the course since then and we have won 7 of the 8 games played under my management. We will be heading to the World Cup next year and I have high hopes of winning the biggest trophy in international football Next Season Plan: Well, another season down and another league/cup double completed. That coupled with my Champions League win has made for my best season yet. The only thing left to win would be the World Club Cup but Kaizer Chiefs probably aren’t strong enough to do that. I plan on sticking around for now but will keep a keen eye on the job market this summer Season Team Position Continental Notes and Achievements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2019 Cobresal 1st n/a Won Copa Chile MTS and Manager of the Year 2019/20 Hibernian 1st n/a Lost in Scottish Cup final 2020/21 Kaizer Chiefs 1st Winners Won Telkom Knockout.

I won't go on too much but it's been a pretty good season albeit trophy-less Europa League - We had an amazing run, eventually losing to Barcelona in the Semis League Cup - Another semi final loss, this time in extra time to Man City FA Cup - Yes you guessed it, a 3rd semi final defeat of the season, this time to Liverpool Premier League - We managed to end in 7th, an amazing finish seeing as we were predicted to end last. In the end we fell away from the top 6 due to our mass fixture backlog at the end of the season Badges/Rep - Continental A Licence Learned, Pro Licence being studied for. My reputation is now up to 3.5* (Good) What Next? - I have made a shed load of young signing and we have a really good squad. I need to prioritise one of two competitions next season.

Danny_H22 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I have a dilemma. I have been offered three jobs and don’t know which to take. 1) is a semi-high profile role with a decent squad. League title is possible but would need some luck. Still in the running for a cup and has an easy tie in Europa league 2) is a less high profile role but in a league I need to manage in. Club finished fourth last season and predicted to finish 3rd this season. A very very healthy transfer budget and could probably win the league with a couple tactical signings. In the group stages of their continental cup 3) the top rated club in their league, going into the new season as defending champions. One of a few leagues I could visit in this continent that has a chance of champions league glory. Clubs seems to be struggling financially and lacks almost all staff and the wage budget needed to change that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny_H22 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 2022 World Cup Review After two years in charge of world number one Brazil, it was time for the most important summer of my young career. We went into the tournament as joint favourites and I knew we would need to be at our best to get anything, especially with fellow favourites Spain in our group Group Stage Spoiler We had one of the tougher groups having been paired up against Spain, South Korea and Denmark. Obviously Spain was going to be the most difficult of our matches and unfortunately we had to play them in the first game – giving us no time to gain momentum. Luckily for us, neither did Spain and thanks to an early goal from Jesus and a penalty from Fabinho, we started our campaign with a 2-1 win. Next up was South Korea who didn’t really put up much of a fight at all. 2 early goals from Coutinho, two from centre back Luiz Felipe and one from wonderkid Rodrygo was plenty to nullify the sole goal from Korea as we strolled to a 5-1 win, setting us up perfectly for a final deciding game against Denmark. This game proved to be a bit more difficult and despite taking a 2-0 lead within 30 minutes thanks to goals from Jesus and Rodrygo, we were down 3-2 after the hour mark. Luckily, the boys in yellow and blue had enough in the tank and a second from Rodrygo and a last minute winner from Allan saw us claim a clean sweep in the groups Second Round Spoiler Topping the group was enough for us to bypass some of the more tougher teams in tournament as we were matched against Austria. I went into the group confident and was sure we would run out easy victors. I was wrong and it took an extra time goal from Jesus to put us into the next round. A round where we would have to perform better than that to continue our march towards the final Quarter Final Spoiler Our reward for beating Austria was a very tough match against Germany. In form striker Jesus gave us the lead after 5 minutes but that didn’t last long as Sane scored a beautiful sole goal 9 minutes later. Our heads must have dropped as 9 more minutes later we were down 2-1 and suddenly things didn’t look too good for us. Until Coutinho levelled the game, that is. After that it was plain sailing with Jesus bagging his second after half time before completing his hat trick in the 90th to set us up for a semi final showdown. Unfortunately, the hat trick performance would be the final game of Jesus’ World Cup as he picked up a minor injury that would rule him out Semi Final Spoiler Facing Italy in the semi final was never going to be easy and we really did make it hard work in a really good game for the neutrals. In the 12th minute, Firmino – who was only in the starting line up as a replacement for the injured Jesus- decided to put the ball into his own net to give Italy the early lead. A lead they doubled just before half time thanks to Bernardeschi. Luckily for us, our luck hadn’t fully ran out and Rodyrgo put away a penalty followed by a 45th minute equaliser to make my half time talk slightly easier. The second half may have featured less goals, but it was no less action packed and I was sure we were destined to lose when the ref awarded Italy a penalty in the 85th. I was wrong to count our chickens and despite his impressive World Cup performance, Pellegri couldn’t convert the spot kick, putting it right into Edersons hands and ensuring the game would go another 30 minutes. We went into the extra time period with a man advantage after Chiesa picked up an injury so we looked to exploit the space and play a bit wider, but in the end it didn’t matter as Davide Calabria fluffed a clearance right into his own net and gifted us a ticket to the final! Final Spoiler The Final against USA would prove to be fairly anticlimactic when compared to the previous two games, but that didn’t bother me. It didn’t take long for us to take the lead when Douglas Costa proved he was a fitting replacement for the injured Coutinho by firing us into the lead. A lead doubled by Rodrygo with ten minutes to go. A brief moment of concern was had when Romain Gall scored with USA’ s first shot on target with five minutes left, but we held on with ease to lift the most coveted trophy in world football! What Next Spoiler I took the Brazil job for one simple reason, the World Cup, and now that we won that I have no reason to stick around. I have already won the Copa and the Conferations Cup is so far away so I might as well move on and keep picking up trophies. Luckily for me, a lot of good looking international jobs became available after the World Cup and I didn't have much issue finding a new challenge - a challenge in the shape of Mexico and the upcoming Gold Cup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispypaul Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Crispypaul VfB Stuttgart 1. Bundesliga 2028/29 League - Table | Fixtures 1| Fixtures 2 - another great season as we retained the title. Champions League - Table | Fixtures - had a very comfortable group stage (including a tonking of Man City at home). Then an astonishing defeat of Real Madrid was followed by a closer defeat of fellow German side Schalke. Next up was Man Utd whom although we drew at home we got a good win at Old Trafford, setting up an all German final against RB Leipzig. Sadly, we couldn't take the next step and RB ran out winners. Cup - Fixtures - usual defeat of lower league opposition in the first round. We then had a relatively straightforward run to the final where we beat Schalke 3-0. Finances - comfortable Transfers - Dirk Adlon and Sebastian Olivera went for huge money in the summer so I quickly purchased some replacements and upgraded a couple of other areas. Key players - Pintado - young Brazilian left winger brought in to improve that side. Had a great goalscoring season too. Mario Billinger - signed a new contract and continued to be our key centre half Diego Facchin - I needed another centre half after Adlon left and the Roma centre back fit the bill. Laureano Dominguez - I paid good money for the Argentinian winger and he performed excellently Cesar - our new keeper. Yes another Brazilian! Andreas Frischnekct - another prolific season from the striker Luiz Felipe - Brazilian forward slotted in beside Firschnekct England2028/29 Nations League 2028 - Fixtures | Table - after winning 3 out of 3 (including away to Spain) I thought we would have a good chance of the finals but collapsed at home to Spain who just sneaked past us in the end.

yugular Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 What a dissapointment After successful season in Mexico I took the Mexico National Team to World Cup. We were bad and I got fired! There goes my easy chance to win the Gold Cup. Now I pretty much have to either wait a long time and get another shot with Mexico or maybe USA/Canada/Jamaica? Has anyone else succeeded with any other team? Or what teams are even possible to get hired to? Well since Mexico was finished I took a short few months long gig in my home country Finland where I helped JJK to win the Ykkönen and get back into the top flight. I didn't renew my contract after the season and now I am currently unemployed. Also my reputation is down to 55% which is odd.. Maybe because I took a job in such a low division?

vikeologist Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) @yugular You will probably never be offered the Mexico job again, so you'll need to win it with USA. I think people have won it with Jamaica. Maybe I did once, but obviously USA is your best remaining chance. You can see which nations are ',manageable' by looking at the job security page. nations can disappear from this late in a save due to insufficient players, which can of course sometimes be offset by adding domestic leagues. With N America, Asia, maybe S America, it is entirely possible to run out of viable nations to win a competition with, and thus not be able to complete the challenge. Happened to me with Asia when I had just 2 landmarks left to get. Edited July 12, 2019 by vikeologist Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny_H22 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) 2022 Season Review I took over Kaizer Chiefs when they were riding high from winning the league, but having to replace a lot of players who had moved on. I left them 18 months later with them having reclaimed the league and added cup & Champions League trophies to the cabinet. When I walked away on 13th January, Kaizer Chiefs were sitting atop of the league and had snatched the CAF Super Cup away from league rivals Bidwist. Naturally, my replacement couldn’t replicate what I had done and they sunk to a 4th place finish – it didn’t help that they decided to bench the clubs best striker. I guess it was always going to be difficult to replace the 16th most successful manager to ever work in Africa. For me, it was time to up sticks and head to my fourth continent and Chinese club Jiangsu Suning were my destination. The club were predicted to finish 4th but had a £40m warchest to push for the top spot – so it was a handsome proposition for me. It took a while to get used to the new rules (100% tax on marquee signings, limit to over 21 year old Chinese signings), but in the end it proved to be a wise move Chinese Super League: We started as 4th favourites but we soon claimed the top spot for our own as we laid wake to everyone who stood in our way. That was until October when a run of three games with no wins saw us drop to 3rd, with Guoan and defending champions Evergrande overtaking us. It was neck and neck (and neck) between the three of us until the final three games, where a 3-2 win over Guoan saw them dip out of the race. Unfortunately, and perhaps undeservedly, we would concede the league by drawing the final two games; allowing Evergrande to claim back to back league wins. Chinese FA Cup: This one wasn’t so difficult, with a great run of performances right up until the final where we faced Shanghai Shenhua in what should have been an easy cup victory. We made it hard for ourselves by letting Shenhua claim a 2-1 win in the first leg, needed a stroke of luck to even get the consolation goal. The second leg was no less nerve-racking, where even an early goal from Liu Ruofan wasn’t enough to stop the rampaging Shenhua who scored two more to lead 4-2 on aggregate. However, sometimes luck goes your way and Ruofan chipped in with another in 87th before centreback Zhunyi scored a header in the 94th to make us champions by away goals. Chinese FA Super Cup: It is always nice to start your reign with a trophy and that is exactly what we didn’t do when we matched up against Evergrande who took the 1-0 win with a 39th minute goal. AFC Champions League: Whilst winning the league would have been nice, this was the competition I really wanted to win. We got off to a perfect start; winning all of our group games before finally being knocked down to earth by Melbourne Victory when they put two past us during a busy 7 minutes that also saw them have a player sent off. With luck on our side once again, the second leg couldn’t have been any more of a polar performance as Liu Ruofan scored three goals to put us into the next round. The quarter final saw us face another team from Melbourne – this time City being our opponents. The first leg went slightly better than against their neighbours, as a late goal secured the home draw, but it turns out we really like a trip down under as evidenced by the two goals that gave us a 3-1 aggregate win and a place in the semi-finals. In what had almost become tradition, we faced off against our third Australian team in a row – this time in the form of Western Sydney Wanderers. Our trip down under proved to be much more of a boring affair this time, as we only managed to snatch a 0-0 draw in front of our 312 travelling fans, but back at home we proved to be too strong and picked up the 2-1 win despite playing 45 minutes a man down. After the three tough Australian games it was nice to play someone a bit different and Iranian team Sepahan fitted that bill perfectly. After facing three of the most difficult teams in the competition, playing Sepahan in the final seemed almost anti-climatic, but maybe they would surprise me and take advantage of our lack of concentration. They didn’t. Two goals from Alex Teixeira and one from summer signing Oxlade-Chamberlain gave us an easy 3-0 win before goals from Jin Jingdao, Erpan and two more from the Ox saw us win 7-0 on aggregate. FIFA Club World Cup: Entering off of the back of our Champions League win, I was keen to top the 3rd place finish I had achieved the year before with Kaizer Chiefs. Unfortunately, despite beating Auckland in the first game, we were downed by Man City who put six past us. The third placed playoff wasn’t much better as Flamengo beat us on penalties to relegate us to 4th place Top Goalscorer: Signed for £3.5m from Shandong Luneng, striker Lio Ruofan repaid that faith by scoring 21 goals in 27 starts. Honourable mention to winger Oxlade-Chamberlaine who chipped in with 15 goals Most Assists: Not too surprising that playmaker Alex Teixeira takes the crown with 16 assists and 12 goals. Another honourable mention goes to the Ox who had 15 assists Highest Ave. Rating: Another one for Teixeira who finished with a 7,41 Most POTM: Three in a row for Tex, who managed 9 POTM awards International: As per my last post, I guided Brazil to another World Cup victory before leaving to take over at Mexico. It is definitely a much harder challenge, but we have a chance at Gold Cup glory in six months so that is what we are focused on Next Season Plan: Despite a cup and continental double, I am really annoyed that we lost the league from such an advantageous position. I have applied for two interesting jobs but I might have to stick around just to make up for the league slip-up Season Team Position Continental Notes and Achievements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2019 Cobresal 1st n/a Won Copa Chile MTS and Manager of the Year 2019/20 Hibernian 1st n/a Lost in Scottish Cup final 2020/21 Kaizer Chiefs 1st Winners Won Telkom Knockout.

To keep it very short, I ticked off the Spanish league and cup double, but lost in the Champs League final on penalties to Chelsea and devastatingly lost the AFCON final to Cameroon as Ivory Coast :'( Having resigned from them both, I've left Europe and taken over River Plate with a squad that should be winning the league, and is already in the Copa Libertadores Quarter Finals.

Skogmus Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) 2039/40 –Manchester City Manager Profile – Fixtures 1 – Fixtures 2 – Fixtures 3Competitions – Player Stats – Transfers It's been almost a year since I last played at this save, but I've finally picked it up again. And I think this resulted in one of my best seasons of this save, if not the best. Couldn't win the league, which turns out to be a near impossible task no matter where I manage on this save, but improved a lot from last year and I'm hopeful for next season.Only conceding 16 goals and a league record on 25 clean sheets makes us the best defensive team in the league, and offensive we're not far behind Chelsea. If we improve a bit offensively I hope we can get that winning goal out of some of the matches we now draw to really compete for the title next year. That being said, we had an amazing run in the Champions League this year. Went through the group stages undefeated only to meet Barcelona in the knock-out round. Not the kind of draw you want, but got an incredible 0-4 win from the away game followed by an insane 6-4 win ay home making it 10-4(!) in total. Then we beat Juventus 4-1 over the two games in the quarter finals, before we played a new crazy match-up against Real Madrid. Thrashed them 5-1 at home almost securing my spot in the final, and secured it by a 4-3 loss away, making it 8-5 in total. Really nerve-wrecking game but we got through to play Chelsea in the final. Got behind both 0-1 and 1-2 in the match-up, only equalising to 2-2 in the 94th minute, bringing the game to extra time. In the extra time we got the lead for the first time in the final, but it only lasted a few minutes before we were tied back up again, 3-3. Got to penalty shoot-out, and won it 4-3 after Chelsea missed their last 2 penalties. So in other words, I won the European Champions League!

Danny_H22 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) 2023 Season Review After throwing away the league on the last day last season, I had revenge on my mind. I couldn’t leave China without claiming a league victory so with that in mind and the AFC Champions League to defend; I was prepared for another action packed year Chinese Super League: I was devastated after losing out on the league last season as I really felt like we deserved to win it. I was so annoyed, in fact, that I rejected job offers in order to stay in China and make amends. And make amends I did! We didn’t leave it so late this season and 22 wins from 30 games was enough to finish the season top with a 7 point gap. Interestingly, 4 teams scored more league goals than us, but it was our defence who won us the league – conceding just 21 in 30 games. Redemption Chinese FA Cup: Remember how we won this last season? Well back to back FA cups were not on the agenda as we crashed out in the semi-finals to eventual winners Evergrande Chinese FA Super Cup: Evergrande stopped me from winning my first trophy as Jiangsu manager last season, but we got a morsel of revenge when we beat them 2-0 to start this season AFC Champions League: Against all odds, we somehow won the Champions League last season and winning back to back would really show that we belonged. However, with our attentions elsewhere (the league) we really struggled in the Champions League this year. Finishing second in our group behind Melbourne City, was enough to earn us a match against Japanese team Kawasaki Frontale. A comfortable 3-1 away win in the first leg meant we could take our foot off of the gas in the home leg and settle for a 0-0. Up next was league winners Melbourne City who were always going to be tough. First leg, away at Melbourne, finished with a 1-0 win to the home side. The reverse leg saw the same result, as we ran out 1-0 winners. Penalities were on the agenda and they did not go well for us. The defending champions crashed out in the quarter-final, much to the annoyance of the fans and the board. Top Goalscorer: Liu Ruofan found himself again topping the scoring charts, but only managed 16 this season Most Assists: Veteran winger Zhang Xizhe claimed the title from Teixeira with 8 assists. Highest Ave. Rating: Teixeira did enough to keep hold of this one, though, finishing with a 7.13 Most POTM: Somehow, 4 POTMs was enough to finish top and Ruofan managed just that International: Winning the World Cup with Brazil was my goal last season and after leaving to take over at Mexico, my goal was to follow it up with the Gold Cup. We got off to a good start by beating El Salvador, Martinique and St Kitts to claim three wins from three in the group. The quarter-final wasn’t much harder and we beat Haiti 3-1 to set up a game with USA; a game that we struggled with, but ultimately won 1-0. It was much the same in the final as we put two past Panama to win 2-1 and ensure that my stint as Mexico manager was a short one. Next Season Plan: With league redemption complete, and the cup and Champions League medals already in my cabinet, I will be looking for a new challenge now the season is up. Hopefully I will get a chance to head to South America next. I will also be stepping down as Mexico manager. We have won the Gold Cup so they have nothing else to offer me.

Crispypaul Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) Crispypaul Tottenham Hotspur English Premier League 2029/30 League - Table - Fixtures 1 - Fixtures 2 - after a disappointing 9th finish last time out I would be happy with just European football. However we had an astonishing season and lifted our first title since 1961. FA Cup - Fixtures - destroyed Bournemouth but ended being knocked out by Man City in the quarters EFL Cup - Fixtures - at least we did well here after sneaking past Man Utd in the semis on penalties we beat Championship Cardiff in the final. Finances - not too bad but European football would be nice Transfers - Squad - the squad was a mess - full of overpaid older players like Julian Brandt at 32 and £200k a week, plus other rubbish. We were also going to fail FFP so I offloaded a lot of players and bought sensibly in. Key players - Julio Astorga - solid Chilean centre half Aser - got a bit want-away early on but then settled down and the Spanish right back had a good season Harry Kane - the veteran was a bit part player in his final season but still chipped in with a few goals Ivan Brcic - a £27m signing from Mainz, the Croatian had an astonishing season on the left and ended up as PFA Player of the Year Diego Lopez - I managed the Mexican striker earlier on with Pumas and he was as good now as then Luis Paixao - the Portugese right winger had a great season on the other flank England2029/30 World Cup 2030 Qualifying - Table - Fixtures - an easy run in the end as we comfortably won the group.

The_Gato_In_Goal Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Gato's Great Managerial Gamble Eldense - 2019/20 None of my players at Geylang had their contracts running out at the end of the year, so I couldn't change my squad at all since nobody would buy them either. Halfway through the season, I took a job in the Spanish 3rd division and had an entire preseason to build my squad. Board wanted to fight against relegation, but halfway through the season we were sitting in 2nd position. I then changed the expectations to a top half finish. We then proceeded to fall apart and have a terrible second half, finishing 12th out of 20 teams. Despite our expected relegation and my signing of a new contract mid-season, the board decided to sack me after the final match. Spanish Second Division B3 - A tale of two halves. Spanish Cup - Lost in first round. Federation Cup - Should have won the first round. Transfers - The loan signings proved to be invaluable. Squad - Started with a small squad, and happy how I left the club. Key Player Profiles: Javi Pazos - Second top goal scorer in the league. Javi Martinez - Second best striker named Javi on the team, got most of the assists. Ismael Iglesias - Great stats, but didn't quite perform to them.

Skogmus Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 2040/41 –Manchester City Manager Profile – Fixtures 1 – Fixtures 2 – Fixtures 3Competitions – Player Stats – Transfers Finally have time to post this update, as it's been a couple of days since the season ended. Won't make it a long update, but I'll get down the important notes. Community Shield: Obviously we met Chelsea, and what a game it was. Took an early lead 0-1 only to find myself down 4-1 after the hour. Pushed a lot more for attacks at that moment which payed off since we managed to get 5(!) goals the final 30 minutes. 6-4 in the end, and one of the craziest game I've played on FM.Premier League: Again it's a two horse race against Chelsea, and again we fell short. Ended at 90 points, 4 points behind Chelsea, but I feel we should've won it this year. Dropped some points far too easy in the additional time, and lost some matches due to poor finishing. Really frustrating seeing this one slip, but we were closer this time around.FA Cup: No problems in getting to the 3rd final in this competition in 4 years, but meeting Chelsea in the final saw us losing 0-2. Carabao Cup: Once again we play our way to the final without any big problems. There we met Chelsea (surprise!), and even though we got a late red card we took the game into extra time with 0-0. Early in the 2nd half of extra time we got our goal and defended well to see it through.European Super Cup: Having won the Champions League the year before we had to meet Europa League winners Tottenham. We had a terrible performance and lost 2-0.Champions League: Won this cup last year and had other priorities this season. Easily through the group stage but went out against Monaco in the quarter final.Club World Cup: Probably the most important one this season, as I didn't know when I'd get to play this cup again. Did not disappoint and won the trophy comfortably. For next season I'm gonna clear out some dead meat from the squad and invest in a quality striker. This team is the one I'll win the premier league with on this save, and I don't believe I'll get a better shot at it than I have now (and have had the last two years). Hopefully it's my turn soon, because this challenge still needs 10+ seasons to be completed. In addition, I got the job as manager of Spain. Won my group against Portugal and Poland in Nations League, but fell short in the finals ending 4th. In the middle of World Cup Qualifications now, and hope to pull that one off next summer.

The_Gato_In_Goal Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Gato's Great Managerial Gamble Kitchee - 2020/21 I eventually took a job with Kitchee, since they are traditionally a strong side in Hong Kong. It's a step backwards in terms of pay, but had a higher chance at trophies. We made a few decent signings and had a successful year, unfortunately Eastern went undefeated on their path to the league title. We managed to defeat them in the finals of one of the cups, so we at least got a trophy. Hong Kong Premier League - Decent season, but Eastern were unstoppable. Senior Shield - Not a good performance. FA Cup - Our first trophy. Sapling Cup - Unfortunate loss in penalties to Eastern. Transfers - There are so many Brazilians willing to go to obscure Asian leagues. Squad - Next year will try and replace some of the foreign players who didn't perform enough. Key Player Profiles: Emerson Maranhão- Best player on paper and had an excellent season. Chang Ho Yeung- Scored goals and not much else. Lo Kong Wai - We relied on other positions to create goals this year.

numero uno gunner Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Season 2041/42 Barcelona I finally landed a job in Spain, and it was certainly worth the wait. However, things weren't as rosy as they should have been. Barca haven't won the league since 2019, a full 21 years ago! The title hadn't left Madrid since then, alternating between Atletico and Real. Barca has scraped into the Champions League on the last day of the season last season, so at least there was that to look forward to this season. For long-time readers, you may remember that I stupidly resigned as manager of PSG after winning the Champions League, forgetting that I needed to win the Club World Championships as well. An assessment of the squad made me realise that change was needed, but there wasn't much available in terms of transfer funds, so it was very much having to seel before we could buy. Twelve fringe players / B team players went out on loan (bringing in a total of £2m a month), as well as four players for a total of £54m. Six players came in, three on free transfers, including Joseph Nwankwo, who would go on to be our top scorer this season, after only being brought in to provide cover. We started the league season well, with five wins and two draws, before Real brought us crashing back to earth with a 3-0 mauling. It probably should've been six or seven. We responded with a 9 game unbeaten run, before a surprise 1-0 defeat to Elche. We then picked up an astonishing 37 points from the next 39 available, taking us clear at the top of the table. 10 points clear at the top, a 4-2 defeat away at Getafe, and then a 2-2 draw against Real Sociedad and a 3-2 defeat to Atletico meant our lead was down to 2 points with two games to go. Thankfully, a 4-0 thrashing of Elche was followed up by a 5-0 drubbing of Vallecano to seal the title, and tick off my final league needed for the challenge! In the cup, we had a fairly easy run to the semi-final, where we faced Bilbao. A 2-2 draw at home was followed by an absolutely bonkers return leg, which finished 4-4 and meant we had somehow got through to the final to face Atletico Madrid. We produced one of our best performances of the season, and in particular Nwankwo, who hit all three goals in our 3-1 win, adding a second trophy to the cabinet for the season. However, it wasn't our final game... We had reached the Champions League final, despite losing twice in the group stages and only getting past Chelsea in the first knockout round on penalties. We beat Atletico 4-2 on aggregate in the quarter finals, before a semi final with my former club PSG. The first leg was absolutely phenomenal, thrashing them 4-0 and heading to Paris confident of progression to the final. We lost the second leg 1-0, but it was enough to take us through to face Sporting Lisbon. Right winger Cesar Perez was our star man, grabbing a brace to seal a 2-0 win and complete a fantastic treble! There will be no resigning early this time! Player-wise, Nwankwo hit 27 goals and 10 assists from 37 appearances, but Perez was brilliant, with 20 goals and the same number of assists, and an average rating of 7.65. The central defensive partnership of Angelo Carvalho and Jordy Cortie both averaged over 7.50. However, we played our best football when Luis Casado was paired with January signing Iker Vazquez in central midfield. January was a critical time for the squad, as we brought in another 5 players, four of whom were Spanish, as there was a dwindling number of home grown players in the squad. So what's next? I'm going to obviously stay at Barca to try and win the Club World Championship. I'd like to complete the squad revamp, and see if I can build a squad capable of dominating in the way the two Madrid sides have for the last two decades. I'm also very much cheering on all of the non-South American clubs in the upcoming World Cup, as I'm hoping that a job might come up so I can have a crack at the Copa America... Oh, and can I go back on the active list now?

numero uno gunner Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 @vikeologist In fairness this season has taken me ages to complete. No, I’m actually playing on FM17, it’s just taken me so long! The end is approaching now, but with my luck I won’t get a South American international job post World Cup and I’ll be playing for at least another four seasons.

Crispypaul Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I doubt i'll finish the challenge either (still need to win all but one international tournament, the Copa Libertadores, the European Champions League and Club World Cup, and the French, Spanish and Italian Leagues plus a couple more cups) but its been one of my most enjoyable careers in recent FMs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Gato_In_Goal Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Gato's Great Managerial Gamble Kitchee - 2021/22 A couple more foreign player signings pushed us over the top and we thoroughly dominated the league, only losing to Eastern who slipped up elsewhere. For now, the plan is to stay with Kitchee until a job opens up. We aren't quite at the reputation to get hired for the second tier in Spain or Portugal. There's no chance Kitchee can win the Champions League against the money of the Korean and Chinese sides. Hong Kong Premier League - Only conceded 6 goals all season. Senior Shield - Beat Eastern 3-0 in the first round and won 7-0 in the final. FA Cup - Beat Eastern 5-0 in the quarter finals. Sapling Cup - Eastern got their revenge and beat us on penalties in the final. Champions League - Made it to extra time before losing out to the Australian side. Transfers - The Brunei midfielder and the young South Korean striker were invaluable to our team this year. Squad - Shouldn't change much barring any departures, not sure if we can loan the Korean striker again. Key Player Profiles: Emerson Maranhão- 14 assists in 31 matches from left back and set a league record. Yeom Sang-Hoon- 28 goals in 29 matches and also set a new league record. Mohd Fadhlullah Metassan - All around midfielder with a 7.77 average rating.

The_Gato_In_Goal Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Gato's Great Managerial Gamble Tianjin - 2023 Halfway through the Hong Kong season, a job opened up in China and I ended up at Tianjin. Their league runs by calendar years so I was able to make some transfers before the season started and got rid of some high earning foreign players. You can only have 3 foreign players in the match day squad, so I had to be picky. Very successful year, only finishing 2 points off the league title when we were predicted mid-table. Won the FA Cup as well. The plan is to see how far we get in the Champions League next year and take it from there. Chinese Super League - 76 goals scored in 30 matches. FA Cup - Their final is two legged which was odd. Transfers - Luiz Gustavo and Gerardo Pilas were great foreign player signings. Squad - Lucas Mendes will probably be sold or loaned out and Balanta may be replaced as well. Key Player Profiles: Zhang Guoqing- 11 goals and 16 assists in 34 matches is a great return for the left winger. Gerardo Pilas- Only played the second half of the season, but still scored 15 goals. Reinaldo - 14 assists and 6 goals from the playmaker spot.

Appointment Manager Profile Handed the reigns with just 2 games remaining in the league, sitting in 6th positions means we wont be getting a easy title and will have to focus on next season. We are however in the cup semi final, our first game being the first leg and we lost 1-0 to Persib Bandung who currently top the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas_e Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Season Update Real Madrid & Brazil 2037 - 2038 Real Madrid My last post on this challenge was January 15th. I got a little bit tired of constantly moving clubs and lost some of my FM motivation. I took up and got hooked on the Youth Academy Challenge, and having spent 19 season completing that, it was good to get back to this save! I got back into the save in October 2037, 10 games into the La Liga season with Real Madrid, having taken the job after leaving Juventus with a Serie A title months before. Madrid hadn't won La Liga in 5 years, but they had won 3 out of the last 5 Champions League finals. We had a really good team, and we ran away with the league in the end. A team with a very talented squad, but also a crazy high wage bill. This was the kind of team you want to win with fast, because you do not want to re-build! We also won the Champions League and Club World Cup, but I have won those before. Only dissapointment was not winning Copa del Rey Brazil - Copa America Naturally, we had an easu qualification to Copa America, Brazils attacking talent is unreal at this point, and we are basically playing with 4 attackers. We drew Peru, Colombia and Mexico in the group stage. 4-1 over Colombia, 6-1 over Brazil and 2-1 over Peru saw us through to the knock out stage. We beat Equador and Uruguay 3-0 on our way to the final, and naturally, Argentina was our last hurdle. A tough game, but luckily we got the the better of them, winning 3-2.

The_Gato_In_Goal Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Gato's Great Managerial Gamble Tianjin - 2024 This was supposed to be the season of success in Asia but, after a decent start, the team lost its goalscoring form and we limped across the finish line. The board issued an ultimatum of 11 points in 5 matches for the beginning of next season, but I decided to let my contract expire instead. That decision was also backed by our finances being 5 million in the red. Chinese Super League - Ended up in a disappointing 6th. FA Cup - Lost in the semis in our run of bad form. Champions League - Threw away a first leg win in the quarter finals Transfers - Helegbe looked to be a steal, but never performed to his stats. Squad - Abass Helegbe is better than Pilas on paper, but did not do enough scoring this year for his stats. Key Player Profiles: Zhang Guoqing- Not as good as last year, but double digit goals and assists is still superb. Gerardo Pilas- 24 goals in 42 games wasn't bad, but he needed to carry the rest of the side in terms of scoring and didn't do enough.

Skogmus Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 2041/42 –Manchester City Manager Profile – Fixtures 1 – Fixtures 2 – Fixtures 3Competitions – Player Stats – Transfers New season done, and it is one to remember! Difficult times with lots of injuries on key players, but we pulled out a great year. New signings came through, and some of the youth prospects that were in the team when I arrived are starting to compete for a spot in the starting 11. Will just keep the update simple like last time, so here's how we did. Community Shield: Close game, but lost in the end 2-1 to Chelsea. Match not at exciting as it was last year, but it was a good final game before the season started.Premier League: We're again up against Chelsea in a duel for the league win, but seeing us winning over them early in the season gave us a small lead from the start. Pulling a great sequence of results together means we stay in front for most of the season, and Chelsea only winning 1 of the final 4 games gives us the title with a comfortable lead.FA Cup: No problems in getting to the 4th final in this competition in 5 years. Chelsea again the opponent in the final, but this time we got the win 2-0.Carabao Cup: Semi-finals, up against Manchester United. Lost 2-0 in game 1, won 2-0 in game 2. Went all the way to penalties, where we lost.Champions League: This was not a priority, but annoyed with how we lost it. Got through the group stages in a rough way, ending 2nd in group behind Porto. Up against Bayern Munich in the 1st knock out stage, and got a 2-0 win from the first leg. 2nd leg was going good for a while, being only down 1-0, until 90+ minutes and they scored twice. Early exit and some disappointed players that wanted more from this cup. Having won the Premier League there is nothing else for me in Manchester City, and I'll resign and look for a new job. Want to stay in the top leagues of Europe, so has to be Germany, France or Spain next. But before I can concentrate on that, there's the World Cup in the summer, and I'll try to take Spain to the title.

Skogmus Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) 2042 – World Cup While managing Manchester City, I took over as Spain manager as well. In 2040 we ended 4th in Nations League, and 2041 we spent qualifying for the World Cup by winning all qualification matches. World Cup 2042 takes place in neighbouring Portugal, and we are among the favourites for the win. Group stage Spoiler Spain 5-1 New Zealand Spain 4-2 Ivory Coast Spain 2-1 Sweden Easy first game against New Zealand, before we found ourself in deep trouble at half time agains Ivory Coast. Fought back, and turned the game around from 0-2 to 4-2 in second half, before we secured the third win of the group stage against Sweden. We qualified for 2nd round with 9 pts. 2nd round (if applicable) Spoiler Spain 2-0 Serbia Met Serbia, whom we played a friendly against just a week before the World Cup. Match was practically over after 15 minutes at 1-0 and Serbia being one man down. Scored the second one to secure the win, and we're moving on to the quarter finals. Quarter finals (if applicable) Spoiler Spain 4-0 Peru Lucky draw, as we were much better than Peru. 4-0 to half time, and just saw the game ending at that. Next up is the semis, where we will face up against England (and some of my former Man. City players). Semi finals (if applicable) Spoiler Spain 3-1 England To quick goals half an hour in gave us the 2-0 lead. Went to half time with 2-1, and under heavy pressure in second half we countered in our 3rd goal just before the whistle went. Close on, but we're moving on to the finals! Final / 3rd place play-off (if applicable) Spoiler Final: Spain 1-0 Italy Great performance, not allowing Italy too many chances. We got the goal, and won the World Cup! Man of the tournament: Miguel Mateo. Scored 10 goals, making him top scorer in the tournament. This includes a hat trick against England, and several more game-changing goals.

The_Gato_In_Goal Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Gato's Great Managerial Gamble Porto B - 2024-25 I landed on my feet quickly, and took a job with Porto's B side in the second division of Portugal. Managing a B side puts me in an interesting position as I can't get promoted nor sign players, but I felt like this job could eventually lead to the main Porto job or another first division Portuguese job. I came in with half of the season remaining and a goal to fight against relegation. Luckily a couple of away wins in our final 3 matches saw us avoid the drop by a single point. A fall from grace for Portimonense to fall to the 3rd tier. Portuguese Second League - Avoided relegation. Squad - Not many players, but that's out of my control. Not having a GK wasn't great.

Steve Cobble Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) Managed to get a bit of time to put into this over the last week or two which has been great fun. Since leaving Real Madrid I've gone on a 🏆 haul across the continents; racking up a league and copa libertadores at River Plater (but not the main domestic cup, which stung) - I did win the Club World Cup again, beating the Chelsea team that had beating me in the European Champions League Final the year before, so that was sweet revenge. I then left to join Orlando City, realised I still have absolutely no clue how the transfer system works and left after 34 days, and then at the end of the season picked up the Kaizer Chiefs job, in which I won everything except one cup, which I lost in the final of. Only one league defeat all season - so close to the unbeaten year Come March, I had agreed to take over as Ajax manager at the end of the season, as I still needed one more non-big 5 league cup competition, however I've realised that I will need to go to Mexico anyway to win the North American Continental Cup (can't remember the name right now), and so I might leave early doors. I turned down the Brazil job to take over a surprisingly talented South Korea team, as the continental tournaments box is my big gap atm. I make it currently 21 out of 33, though I don't expect the remaining leagues and domestic cups to present too many problems....

thomas_e Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Season Update Boca Juniors 2038-2039 After winning La Liga and Copa America with Real Madrid and Brazil last year, I only have Bundesliga left of the compulsory leagues. With Bayern and Dortmund both occupied by other managers I left for Argentina and Boca Juniors. Boca had finished second behind River Plate last year and the job opened up. We had a really good year, with a really good team. But we lacked a few players in key positions, and I started the job just as the season started. We struggled a bit in the beginning, but after some adjustments we really hit our form and never looked back. We ran away with the league and we also won the Copa Libertadores, beating Colo-Colo 5-0 in the final. The Legue Cup in Argentina is played over the summer, and unfortunately Boca was already knocked out when I took over.
