The Perfectionist II - From A to Z, 118 nations and millenia of management

[Makoto Nakamura]

Hello everyone, ladies and gents and welcome to hopefully *if the editor data stays working* my long term save, it's basically my attempt on my main save of last year but bigger, with added leagues being found here:

109 Best Leagues in the World and my previous save located here: The Perfectionist - From A to W, 51 Nations and centuries of management If you didn't see the thread or just wanted to re-read it or something.

The aim? Starting in Albania and finishing off in Zimbabwe is to win every league, top and lower divisions, every cup major and hopefully minor that there is to offer.

And as I like to keep things short and simple, here is the set-up:







Unlike last years attempt I will be starting unemployed in Albania and hopefully I'll get a job pretty quickly!

Other rules? I won't be having any, I'm sure I'll think of rules for certain clubs at certain times of the career (like last year I wanted an all Czech Sparta Prague team) but I will be handing out Youth Product tags (YP) although with me adding and removing leagues once I've removed the country they're in, it will be highly likely that they will also disappear from the game.





Meet 6'11, 23 1/2 stone Makoto Nakamura, who will surely be a force to be reckoned with!

Loving this idea. The very best of luck to you mate

[Makoto Nakamura]

Klubi Sportiv Iliria Fushë-Krujë is an Albanian football club founded in 1991 and based in the small town of Fushë-Krujë. The club plays its home games at the Redi Maloku Stadium and they currently compete in the Albanian First Division, the second tier of Albanian football.









So here we are, my first job. KS Iliria haven't won anything but one plus side is that they want me to develop players which could be promising, especially with average youth recruitment which I think is good for the Albanian Second Division.

Key Players:











We have these 5 players who are really good, but I need to get more strength in depth as everyone else is useless!

[Makoto Nakamura]

Pre-Season 2015/16

The board expects a solid season, no heroics but just a good mid-table finish, I'm hoping to do one better.



I joined just before the West Brom friendly, and I'm happy with the results we got in all fairness.



I did say I wanted to strengthen in depth and I have! Now the only problem is finding a good formation to use!

[Makoto Nakamura]

September 2015

A good start, a great victory over Ada in the 2nd Round of the cup even though it was a bit of a disappointment to draw against them twice..

[Makoto Nakamura]

October 2015

A solid but unspectacular month in the league with 3 wins and 2 losses which puts us in our expected position of 5th. We're facing Partizani in the 3rd round of the cup and we're looking highly likely to go out of the cup at this point too.

[andychar]

I lost a full day at work reading the first thread a few months ago. Cant wait to see how you get on this time! Instantly subscribed.

Thanks Andy! It means a lot

[Makoto Nakamura]

November 2015

A great month by almost all accounts as sadly we do drop out of the cup, but we were by no means embarrassed by drawing 2-2 and we've done really well in the league this month and we're now sitting pretty in 2nd place albeit 4 points behind Kamza.

[Rikulec]

Best of luck with this, I'll certainly be following.

Thanks Rikulec!

[Makoto Nakamura]

December 2015

The league is looking tight now with I would say 5 teams in with a shot although there is still 12 games to go. The highlight of the month was undoubtedly the fact that we managed to beat Kamza 1-0 and we now hold onto the top spot by just 1 goal!

With it now being January I'll be looking at bringing in some more players to hopefully give us that extra little push to get us over the line come the end of the season.

[Makoto Nakamura]

January Transfer Window

What a busy, busy January! 12 new players in who I hope can fit the bill and make a difference, here are the best of those players ( 3 1/2* CA+)

[Makoto Nakamura]

February 2016

There we go! 4 good wins with only Erzeni proving any problem to us as we move into the final third of the season still sitting pretty on top of the table!

[Makoto Nakamura]

2015/16 Youth Candidates

A decent intake with 2 players who could hopefully make the first team in the future although Hoxha has some serious determination problems.

[Cardiovascular]

Great to see this back Makoto!

[Makoto Nakamura]

Great to see this back Makoto!

Thanks Cardio Glad to bring it back

[Makoto Nakamura]

March 2016

A very boring month for the viewers with just the 2 goals, but the points we got were enough to leave us 4 points clear with just 5 games left of the season, can we hold on?

[Makoto Nakamura]

April 2016

Just the 2 games in April and unfortunately our unbeaten run came to an end against Kamza, one of the 2 title chasing rivals who I could have really done with not losing to but Kamza dropped points by drawing their next game. Kastrioti however stay right on our tail with them picking up all 6 points this month.

[Rikulec]

That's going to be an interesting finish, just don't let it slip now!

[Makoto Nakamura]

That's going to be an interesting finish, just don't let it slip now!

You shall find out very shortly

[Makoto Nakamura]

End of Season 2015/16

Take that Kastrioti! They had to face the teams that finished 8th, 9th and 10th for their last 3 games and we managed to go one better than them and get promoted as Champions! And what have I gone and done?



And how do the squad feel about next season??



Ah...well okay then thanks lads!



More good news for when next season starts, we'll be a full time outfit.

Mr. Cake stealing the headlines as he became the inspired signing of January and really set the league alight with his goals and assists in just 4 months!

[Makoto Nakamura]

Poor Arsenal...but I can see a likeness between Mr. Rodgers and myself, other than the hair colour of course!

[Rikulec]

Must have been quite a nervous final day!

[Makoto Nakamura]

Must have been quite a nervous final day!

Very nervous! If Kastrioti had scored against none other than Besa then they would have been promoted as champions.

What on Earth happened to Kamza in March?

They only conceded 8 goals in their previous 19 games and then went and shipped 4 in 3! #Implosion lol

Ada happened, Ada put 3 past them followed by a 1-0 defeat against Kastrioti.

[Makoto Nakamura]

Pre-Season 2016/17

A great Pre-Season with us even managing to get a draw against Polish side Legia!



"Best" Transfers









Will this be enough to stay in the league? God knows, but the squad doesn't think so...

[Rikulec]

Legia to stara kurwa.

[Nobby_McDonald]

Makes Vale Park look good.

[andychar]

Good first season, not that I expected any different! Will be a tricky first season in the top flight but I've got every faith in you.

[Torres.Goal]

Best of luck, safe to say that if this is completed, no challenge will ever be bettered! Will be following!

It still looks like a nice little place to live though, surrounded by greenery The Redi Maloku stadium, not Vale Park

Good first season, not that I expected any different! Will be a tricky first season in the top flight but I've got every faith in you.

Thanks Andy, it's proving to definitely be a noticeable step up which isn't great.

Best of luck, safe to say that if this is completed, no challenge will ever be bettered! Will be following!

Thanks Torres Let's hope that all goes well!

[Makoto Nakamura]

August 2016

Not the best start to life in the top league but it was to be expected, a narrow loss to the team predicted to finish 2nd and an away draw to the team predicted to finish 8th so results really are where they should be and the Pre-Season betting put us as the overwhelming favourites to get relegated.

[Makoto Nakamura]

September 2016

Very pleased with September, all games bar the victory over Lushnja were very close affairs but we managed to get some much needed points and finally get our first 3 points.

[Makoto Nakamura]

October 2016

The league has taken an incredibly tight turn as we enter into November now, Skenderbeu are looking highly likely to win the league at a canter but from 2nd-8th the league is as tight as can be and anyone can beat anyone...although everyone is having trouble scoring with Kukeksi being the top scorers and the highest conceders yet they're up in 2nd.

[Makoto Nakamura]

November 2016

4 very tight matches in November, we're sadly out of the cup but we did better than expectations by just making the 3rd Round, I'm very happy at the fact that we managed to contain Skenderbeu and pick up a point against them whilst also dominating possession (We had 65%). The victory against Bylis also called the end of the reign of their manager as Ilir Shulku got sacked after just 257 days.

[Makoto Nakamura]

December 2016

We finally lost our unbeaten run against Laci to give us our first league defeat in 13 games but somehow we are still over-achieving in 3rd place although it is still really tight between 3rd and 6th really as we head into the winter break.

[Makoto Nakamura]

January 2017

3 games and 3 wins One thing about Albania, all games appear to be nervy affairs, after 20 games the top scorers have 26 goals, only just more than 1 goal per game and other than Besart Berisha who's scored 11 goals for Partizani this season, the top 4 league scorers have just 6 goals.

[Makoto Nakamura]

February 2017

Albanian Match of the Day are not going to like us....just 1 goal scored in 5 games, and those 2 losses? Both goals scored were penalties. Defence is tight at the top of the table.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2016/17 Youth Candidates

Mergin and Ardit will hopefully have a good future, I can't really see anything happening with the rest of them.

[Makoto Nakamura]

March 2017

It's now a 4-way race for the title between us, Flamurtari, Skenderbeu & Laci. We had a poor month by our standards but we're still on the pace and I may need a new assistant manager because my current one isn't very smart....

[Makoto Nakamura]

April 2017

Who would have thought this?!? We are 2 games away from the title!! We face Kukesi and Partizani at home for our final 2 fixtures....can we do the unthinkable?

[abulezz]

I think you seal it at home against Kukesi

[Makoto Nakamura]

End of Season 2016/17

We don't half do things the bloody hard way, luckily one point was enough and we're into the Champions League against all odds!!!











Squad & Key Players:

[Rikulec]

This starts really strongly then.

[Makoto Nakamura]

This starts really strongly then.

Hopefully I can kick on from it and prove that it wasn't a fluke, brought in 2 golden oldies who are both the wrong side of 40 so far this pre-season...

EDIT: Scratch that....

[andychar]

Absolutely storming start! Staying to win the cup at least means an early look at the Champions League, a lucky draw or two and you never know!

Me thinks you shouldn't have trouble getting a job in Algeria either way.

The cup will definitely be the biggest trouble so far since we haven't gotten past the 3rd Round yet! Hopefully someone from Algeria will take on an Albanian title winning manager, but that's still at least a season away yet
