Liverpool is a force to be reckoned, now more than ever. And it's the first time that I see Roma doing anything of value with an AI coach, they were always battling for survival in Serie A in FM18. Who is the manager now? Roma has had quite a few managers... but it has been Marcelo Gallardo that led them to success. He left now though, to become Chelsea's new manager (after they sacked Pep). 17 hours ago, john1 said: Pretty decent season SI must have put drugs cheat on Liverpool players since they winning Premier League and Champions League I know right, I wonder when their dominance will end. 16 hours ago, Minuy600 said: Deisler must like that RKC promotion.

MarcxD Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Pre-Season + August 2023 A bit of a different transfer summer - I decided to splash the cash if you will on the two talents that my scouts have rated the highest - Antolic and Hodler. Meret is a direct replacement for first choice GK - as I have loaned out Angus Gunn to Inter for 3M+ with a 25M mandatory future fee. As Meret is better and on half the wages as Gunn was, that was a pretty safe choice. I did already buy an AMC last year, but this guy was just too good to let slip. Two big transfers this summer - both amazing young strikers from Monaco, poached by the Manchester teams. As a more general update here are the biggest transfers so far: Some of Europe's biggest clubs want me as their manager now... Very strong performance in pre-season and perfect start to the competitive matches. No other team did as well as us. We were drawn out of the second pot now, an interesting group.

MarcxD Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 January 2024 I only got one new player in, a talented left winger who'll start in Jong Ajax. But I did do a lot of outgoing transfers - and two very big ones. I decided to sell van Dijk, because even though he is an amazingly talented left back he was complaining all the damn time and he was by nature very inconsistent. I thought the Markovic sum was just too good to reject. I have recalled a young central defender who was on loan to replace Markovic in the first team squad. There was much to do elsewhere as well, as there were four 100m+ transfers this january, including the first newgen one (and Kessié's second one). There was also some actual football to be played, super strong performances all around - no goals conceded 12 points ahead, this looks like the safest run to the title yet - quite the contrast with last year.

MarcxD Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 March 2024 + Youth Intake Amazing result against Monaco, and still going very well domestically. We're facing Roma again! They beat Liverpool last round, so for the first time in this save Liverpool haven't made it to the final. Champions. Easiest so far - a bit worrying to see the extreme downturn of PSV. They also finished 4th in their CL group this year. One big talent, the others are so so but signed up all players that aren't completely ***** as always. Jumping reach 1, not even 160cm tall, not even 50kg... strength 5. Oh. Guess he'll just have to stay away from any opposing players then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcxD Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 April 2024 Continued what we have been doing all season, winning. Looking good for our very first Champions League final...

MarcxD Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Season Review 2023-2024 + Game World Update Incredibly dominant domestically, just need a bit more luck and perhaps just that little bit more to get that CL final and the trophy. first homegrown newgen in the best eleven overall in Roxey Hasselbaink. Game World Chelsea won their third Europa League this save... and PSG won the first non-english Champions League title. National champions: Austria: Red Bull Salzburg Belarus: Dinamo Brest (2023) Belgium: Club Brugge Bulgaria: Ludogorets Croatia: Dinamo Zagreb Czech Republic: Sparta Prague Denmark: FC Kobenhavn England: Liverpool Finland: HJK (2023) France: PSG Germany: Bayer Leverkusen Greece: AEK Hungary: Vidi FC Iceland: FH (2023) Ireland: Shamrock Rovers (2023) Israel: Hapoel Be'er-Sheva Italy: Internazionale Northern Ireland: Crusaders Norway: Molde (2023) Poland: Lech Poznan Portugal: Sporting Romania: FC Viitorul Russia: Spartak Moscow Scotland: Celtic Serbia: Partizan Slovakia: Slovan Bratislava Slovenia: Olimpija Spain: FC Barcelona Sweden: Malmö (2023) Switzerland: FC Basel Turkey: Fenerbahçe Ukraine: Dynamo Kyiv Wales: TNS It was also time for Euro 2024... Denmark did well again, unlike the Dutch. But the finalists were the countries that won the last euro's (Spain) and World Cup (France). In the end Spain did a repeat of four years ago. Interesting to see that the Premier League seems to be more dominated by one team than the other top 5 leagues... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcxD Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Pre-Season + August 2024 Biggest job offer so far, perhaps. Pretty incredible transfer summer, as we got in nearly 180M in sales but barely lost any first teamers. Ambrosio and Memisevic have never even played a single game for the first team, while Arnaud made 12 in total. All talented players for sure, so it's going to be interesting if they make it at their new clubs. The offers were just too good and I didn't really need them per se. The Gunn deal was already agreed last season, and I got rid of Marco da Graca as I got a better striker with what seems like much more potential in Freddy Andre. The biggest sum I've paid so far, and I don't plan to top it, really. I also sold both of my right backs, Nagy and Johnstone, and replaced them with Bellanova and Götze. Two 100m+ transfers this summer, with one of the biggest overall in Ruiz. Looking like a very good start, but no very tough games so far. Really a group we should be able to top, although of course Leverkusen has to be respected as Bundesliga winner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson had done well in his half year at the club as left back but was complaining already so he was let go to Spurs. The Arzani deal includes a 15M optional future fee. I signed a few new players - Mauersberger a young talented GK and Sessegnon and Cucurella as new left-backs as replacement for Gibson - they were transferlisted. Surprisingly dropped some points against NEC but did manage to beat both Feyenoord and PSV at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two amazing strikers in Andre and De Los Santos, but perhaps the performance of the season came from Roxey Hasselbaink. Game World We already know who won the CL final, but the Europa league has gone to another English team.

MarcxD Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 Pre-Season + August 2025 Europe's biggest club wants me as their manager... Allegri left to manage Real Madrid. Thomas Tuchel ended up as their new manager after a lengthy stay at PSG. My biggest signing is probably the free one in Angel Correa, very good option especially for the AML position now that Hasselbaink will miss a large chunk of the season. Two Serbian talents were added alongside a new central defender, as I sold Schuurs and I needed a new strong 3rd choice. Joveljic just not good enough anymore, pretty decent sum for him. Also goodbye to long-standing leftback Tagliafico. There was only one 100m+ transfer this summer, and it was the second one for Pellegri. Man Utd made a 15M loss on him. This is pretty bizarre, we haven't even won the CL yet. But the most consistent, I guess... Feels good to start the season by beating Feyenoord twice, but we couldn't quite do a perfect start. A hard group, but we should still be able to qualify from it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(when you have to lower the size of the letters in-game to make this screenshot....) A first World Cup for Colombia! Another strong showing from Denmark.... When we look at the teams that have made it to the knock-out rounds perhaps the most surprising is Qatar. Future... I am not sure yet if I am going to continue this. The full game is out now, and I have a plan for a big save but that will need some certain league data edits to come out. The Fraud thread is now going on, and I am definitely thinking about joining that. Not deleting this thread or my save, but now that I won the CL the main driving force seems to be gone. Whatever I decide to do, it's been fun managing Ajax again, even though it has been much of a smooth ride. Cheers for reading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
