Kind of weird, didn't really check if I somehow offended him before or if that's just random. But it really shouldn't happen with youth prospects I agree, maybe submit this to SI bug section?

You could report it as a bug but it does happen in the real world. Spurs, the club I support, have lost a few kids this way in recent times and so have a few other big clubs. Some big prospects aren't prepared to wait for opportunities and turn down a scholarship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcxD Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 Pre-Season + August 2030 Predicted to finish 7th now, biggest team behind the classic top 6. Newcastle also up there with us. The one name that you will know here is Gabriel Jesus, he is now in his thirties but could still do very well for a year or so. He's more or less a direct replacement of Morelos. Apart from that a few new midfielders and defenders were signed, some rotational/first team some talents. The most expensive transfer of this FM save so far happened this summer (apart from the Mbappe one of course). Not his first big money move either... We started the year well, after a good pre-season. We did need a 95th minute winner against Arsenal, but smoother sailing in the other two games. Starting in second though, after City. Who else... The CL group is some sort of joke, almost exactly the same as last year except this time we have Galatasaray instead of Celtic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcxD Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 September 2030 Terrible start to the CL. Not again.... and already out of the EFL cup. Still perfect in the league though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcxD Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 October 2030 We did well against RBL this time around but not so much against Barca. Two losses halfway the group... Also our first loss in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcxD Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 November 2030 Needing to beat RBL in the last CL game to qualify. Important win against City in the league. On equal footing with Liverpool so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcxD Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 December 2030 Not a good month at all, a slump in form for my team in general and most annoyingly including my strikers. Terrible loss to Man Utd as well. Dropped down from first but it's still very close at the top. We did enough to qualify for the knockout rounds this time around, but we'll have to perform better if we want to achieve anything in the CL. We actually got less points than last year, but so did RBL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcxD Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 January 2031 One new signing, a talented striker from Ecuador. Many departures. I decided to get rid of the deadwood, including G. Jesus. When I said that he would still be good enough... well I guess not. Overpaid and terrible performances. Young Andorran Lázaro has been developing pretty well and will now get first team football in Holland. We started by continuing the bad december form but we got back to winning ways. Liverpool have a 7 point lead on us now, but all's still to play for... I hope Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcxD Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 February 2031 Pretty good, really, and a nice start to the CL match-up against AC Milan. In second place, but 8 points behind Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcxD Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 Youth Intake 2031 OMG! Great intake and this Andorran kid might be even better than the last one I got. Why would the game do this to me right when FM19 is around the corner though Lot of work but come on! He is Andorran! This guy looks insane from the start as well.

MarcxD Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 March 2031 Still doing pretty well, and made it through to the next round of the Champions League.

MarcxD Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 April 2031 Too bad, we couldn't beat Man City in the CL. Also out of the FA Cup, which was more of an unpleasant surprise. Perfect in the league though! 3 points behind Liverpool and we still play them - and Man Utd... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcxD Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 May 2031 Even if we had beaten Leicester we would've been second on goal difference. But damn, it got close! Another year in second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcxD Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 Pre-Season + August 2031 Still predicted to finish 7th, same odds as well I think. Not a very busy transfer summer if only because it's really hard to improve the squad without paying any money! Thomas Jean had been on loan for about 5 seasons, now I got him here permanently... he's no world beater but finding a natural WBL is not that easy. Kovacevic is a central defender while Soulaïmani is another WBL. No permanent outgoings - there have been offers but there's no reason at all for me to sell anyone. Great pre-season like every year, and while we started well in the league there was Liverpool again. They are the only team to start out perfectly... The CL group seems to be fairly kind this time around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcxD Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 September 2031 What seemed to be a tough month in the league with games against Chelsea and Arsenal didn't turn out too bad! Of course I did jinx the CL group again by calling it kind, as we weren't able to win any of our two opening matches. In first on equal points as Liverpool.

MarcxD Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 December 2031 Overall another strong month, although I was let down by the subs I let play in the EFL cup.

MarcxD Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 January 2032 Three signings, Osmair the only one to get game time this season though, as there was only room for one non-home grown player in squad registration. Another very strong month, including a huge win over Liverpool. 7 points lead, that looks lovely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcxD Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 April 2032 A lot of tough games, but overall I think we did pretty well, excluding the shock loss against 20th placed WBA in the league. Beat Man Utd pretty comfortably in the CL. Atlético beat us in the first game but two away goals keep us in it. Also still in the FA Cup. Just need to remain calm and get some points in the last few matches and the title is ours. First youth league win for the club in the pocket, at least.

MarcxD Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 Season Review 2031-2032 Fantastic, it would've been amazing to get a clean sweep this season but close enough! Interesting to see some of the lower league players still here. Amarilla, Castro, Rodas and Mijailovic the clear star players of this save. This season was the first season Andorran Lázaro played in the first team - not amazingly, mind. He's actually too good and has played a bunch of u21 internationals for England. Not too bad for a little career, especially when you take into account I had the handicap of using three strikers. See you in FM19! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
