MarcxD Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 Season Review 2021 Extremely dominant domestically, for the first time. Much more consistent than previously, and surely being able to train full-time helped out. Got started with improving facilities as well, and the future seems bright. So yeah, the 1 EL spot is going to stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheriff7 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I believe the only restriction is for Ukrainian and Russian teams not to play against.Anyway tie against Partizan was very difficult already. Great results until now. One question:You can get more spots in European competitions (CL, EL) or is static like last year? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timetxu Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 It's actually not an FM bug or something like that. I believe UEFA have an official policy that new members have to go through a provisional phase in which they only have 2 spots. After a couple of years, they can get more. I reckon that in one or two years, UEFA will increase the amount of spots for Kosovo. But as they haven't in real life, FM hasn't increased the spots either.

MarcxD Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 July 2021 A variety of new arrivals. Only signed one player (for money) from another Kosovar club, although I could easily raid them now that I have money and become the local Bayern. Trying to stay away from that path. We have had a good start, relatively easily dealt with the Moldovan and definitely the Icelandic Faroe champions. The next round should be much, much tougher though, I don't see it happening.

MarcxD Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 August 2021 Signed another Serbian defender as rotational option. Predicted to win the title for the first time... But we didn't show that this month, embarrassing performances in Europe and not great domestically either. Very disappointing, especially as I thought we could beat Rosenborg at home.

MarcxD Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 2021/2022 Season Review Domestic dominance and growth. Reached 20% full stadium on average so quite a ways to go! Astonishing goalscoring performance from central defender Marinkovic, while free signing Hoxha has impressed. A few players nearing the 150 mark, but Prekopuca has sadly barely developed from his high starting point and since he now longer counts as an u-19 player his playing time will likely only decrease from now on. Will be looking to revamp the squad slightly next summer. The money is there, but it won't be easy to attract better foreign players to our club and league.

MarcxD Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 June-July 2022 Three "non-foreign" and three foreign players added, Mikelanxhelo mostly because of his name tbh. Maccabi was not an easy opening match-up but we did well to defeat them, Dudelange was a bit easier although by no means a walk-over. But now this, again. Last year the aggregate score was 1-10 so let's try to improve on that at least. This is a good sign of how the league has grown in reputation, the tv money has pretty much tripled since the start of this career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcxD Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 August 2022 By far the biggest sale so far! Replaced him with a similar player, both good defenders for the level. Maxed out, I think! Well, we did better than last year against the Czechs, but they were still too much for us to handle. Dundalk seemed to be easy, before we almost threw it away in the return. But we finally made it to another EL group! It's going to be a rough time, let's see if we can do anything against the Croatians at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcxD Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 September 2022 Weird EL schedule thanks to the winter world cup this year, but we performed well against Schalke.

MarcxD Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 November-January Shame we couldn't do more in the Europa League. Schalke... I sold one player, Gilmore went back to his native Nigeria. I spent some more money this month, as I'm building for the future. Cakic and Milicevic are both talented Serbian players, so it's going to be puzzle how I'm going to deal with the foreign spots in the team. But especially Milicevic was just too talented to not buy. Very good for the level, of course you would want a bit more jumping reach etc but still. Fifth straight year I won this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcxD Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 Season Review 2022-2023 Even more dominant domestically than in the previous season and our very first unbeaten season. Happy to have also made the EL groups but the next step will be to actually get some more points there. Positive about the future with some of the talents coming through the intakes and players I've signed. Just hope some of the other Kosovar teams can improve too. Hoxha clearly the best player at the club as far as his performances go, but look at the fantastic first season from Kenan Dosti as well. Potoku is really not all that anymore but when he's performing like this... This is Dosti now. He's only getting started! After this screenshot was taken I was able to sign him on a three-year deal with an option for three more years which should be very important whenever the big teams come from abroad at some point. League reputation steadily increasing, and the national team have almost cracked the top 100! As we now have a 5 year history of points it's going to be harder to rise in the coefficient rankings unless we improve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcxD Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 June-August 2023 A nice big increase in league money again! I didn't do much business, as I have invested last year already combined with the promising intakes. Biggest factor will have to be the limited amount of talents actually willing to join us. I could've had my biggest sale by far, but I have no reason to do so. He accepted the excuse of being an important presence in the team Wow... Was very surprised to get away with a win in Glasgow, and we were able to beat the Czech champions for once! Not sparta this time though. Thanks go to Mikelanxhelo. This is going to be fun...

MarcxD Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 September - December 2023 I've decided to post in little bit larger chunks now as the domestic months are going to be of less interest generally. We won nearly every single league game, until the Prishtina game in December. As expected we were outclassed in the CL but I guess the nice thing is that the losses weren't too embarrassing, we scored three goals in total against Man City and in the last game we even managed to get our first CL point!

So I feel like there's no real regulation by the UEFA about this, it's just a matter of climbing the ranks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcxD Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 January - May 2024 + Youth Intake Continued building the squad for the future with three new players - all of them Albanian so they don't add to the foreigner rule. Decided to sell former topscorer Berisha as he is now third choice striker. We continued our dominance in Kosovo, and had another unbeaten seasonin the league to celebrate alongside our double. The youth intake was a downer after the two previous ones. Some of these might be better than they appear now, atleast that's the hope. This guy seems to be the best here, but his personality and low determination are real problems as I don't have a lot of players with high determination or professional personalities to help him improve on those fronts.
