vikeologist Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) Vikeologist's Palermo 2032/33 End of Season Report Palermo won the Copa Italia for the first time in our 133 year history. The club had lost 3 times in the final, so it was nice to put that ghost to rest, and we did it in style winning 6-1 in the final. Like last year’s Europa League, it doesn’t make any difference with the challenge, but nice nonetheless. Almost half way through the season it seemed that we might even complete the challenge. We won every group stage match in the Champions League, and were top of the table, but lost ground in the league which we never made up. A Champions league spot looked safe, but a few bad results meant that we went into the final match of the season in 3rd, but only 2 points ahead of the Europa League 5th spot. We only drew, but luckily the team in 5th lost, so it wasn’t as stressful or disastrous as it could have been. Top Goalscorer – Corrado Varsallona YP8a - 29 My star gaygen striker. He’ll soon be the club’s record holder. The fact that he was inured the last few matches of the season may be a factor in the nerve wracking finish. He was the only striker of my Gang of 4 to hit the net on a regular basis. Highest Average Rating (minimum 10 matches played) – Luciano Campi YP5g – 7.62 Fifth year in a row. As inevitable as the changing of the seasons. Last Remaining Legacy Player - Mirko Grasso YP0c Technically that was Danilo Ambro, who left at the end of his contract a year ago. Mirko came through in the intake during the initial holiday year. (Thus the YP0 designation). He’s 29 now, so hopefully has a few years left. He’s been a starter for all 13 seasons, although I switched him from central defender to wing back a couple of seasons ago. He has 424 league appearances to his name. I can’t be bothered to calculate what the total is if you include cups. He may well get to the 500 appearances mark, because there’s not really any youngsters snapping at his heels. I’m pretty sure I’ve never mentioned him before, because he’s not fantastic. He has only one 7+ average season. Man of The Match – Luciano Campi YP5g- 8 Most Valuable Players– Luciano Campi YP5g / Corrado Varsallona YP8a I don’t know where I’d be without these two. They’ve been carrying us for quite a few seasons now. There's a third player who's probably as good as them; Giovanni Pierpaoli YP5a, but I have to play him slightly out of position because he's the best left winger I have. It is tempting to move him to central midfield and see how good he could be, and blood a youngster. Season Division Position Notes 20/21 C/C 8th Eliminated in 2nd round of promotion playoffs. 21/22 C/C 8th Eliminated in 3rd round of playoffs 22/23 C/C 2nd Eliminated in Quarterfinals of playoffs. 23/24 C/C 1st Won league and Super C Cup easily. 24/25 B 4th Lost in playoffs S/F 25/26 B 2nd W7 D1 of last 8 matches.

Diego D10S Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Season 2033 / 2034 6th in Serie A League Table Youth Intake Transfer History Another good season and EURO Cup qualification. But this time I'm very dissapointed as we looked to do alot better mid season. Had a really bad period in March and April including 3 bad and long injuries in my attack. This season confirm for me that I actually can win the leauge, but I need my attacking players to be more effective and consistent. So far in Europe I have used as development really playing 2nd and 3rd choises. Will probably do that this season too and prioritise the leauge. Youth intake was pretty decent again with Niccolo Lombardo being the most promising. Experience from earlier intakes I get some players that show better potential later on. Got some more players this intake that I like but potential is low at the moment. Already had a couple of players that have gone from 3 star potential to 5 star after a couple of years, and also the other way around.

XaW Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 XaW - Caersws - 2028/29 Table | Squad | Transfers | Finances So, the new season started and we got off to a flyer. In the first 8 matches we won 7 and drew once. Of course, we went into the top of the table, even if Bangor City and TNS had good starts as well. The three of us pulled away from the pack and by the time of the league split we were quite a bit a head of the rest. We followed each other then as well and with 5 matches left it looked like this: So it was anyone's title to win. In the final match, were we faced TNS at home, we only needed a draw to stay ahead of them, but Bangor would have a chance of taking the title with a draw. However, a win for us would give us the title. TNS took the lead after 20 minutes, but we equalised just before half time. The 2nd half didn't provide any goals, so with the draw we stayed ahead of TNS. When I checked the scores, I saw that Bangor had drawn away to Aberystwyth, so the title was ours. Our first league win of the series and we are going into Champions League next season! In the Welsh League Cup we lost to Port Talbot Town on pens in the 2nd round. In the Welsh Cup we beat Carmarthen Town before losing to Bangor City in the 4th round. In the Irn-Bru cup we lost to Dumbarton in the 3rd round. In the Europa Conference we started in the 1st qualifying round were we faced Skënderbeu Korçë of Albania, a team we also faced back in 2025. We beat them 5-0 away and controlled a 0-0 at home to go through. In the 2nd qualifying round we beat Slovenian outfit Maribor 1-0 and 2-0. In the 3rd qualification round we went to Iceland and beat Stjarnan 3-2 away. Losing 0-1 at home made us go through on away goals. In the 4th qualification round we had two narrow losses to Scottish Hibernian to get knocked out. Here is our updated European tour map. We had a pretty good youth intake this season, albeit not as good as the previous seasons. Rhys Chamberlain 29e seems like the most exciting talent. The leading players this season have been Mitchell Morgans 25a, Neil Jones 24g and Charlie Williamson 28h. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grff Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) NK Zadar: 2026/27 season review A season to remember as we finally qualified for Europe! Silverware was almost within our grasp but lost once again in the Cup final. Looking forward to our adventures next season... Some fantastic performances from the squad as 8 players went on to acheive a season's rating of 7.00 or above. Top scorer was my 18 year old striker who is looking good for his age... Youth intake promised to be a golden generation. It wasn't. I did have this nicely rounded striker come through... Transfers below. Decided that some of the old-timers needed to be shipped out as they were no longer getting game time and weren't needed for mentoring anymore. Training facilities remain the same. I've now got no fewer than 5 parent clubs that help the finances. In other news I was approached by Rijeka...

Kazushi80 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 S.S.D. Latina Calcio 1932 Season 13 // Serie B Squad // League Table (8th) // Transfers On The Pitch Best season so far. Finally, we mad this 8th place and got in the promotion playoffs. Had no chance there, but just participating once is a sign of progress. The new tactic I established at the end of last season got some minor tweaks and worked very good. Key Players Mario Mone (05A): Like every year the best striker, but this season was a standout. 22 goals, the best goalscorer in the league. Maurizio Cenci: With 29 my oldest player and had his best season since a long time. The new formation with two defensive mids helps him in his deep-lying playmaker role. Hiromu Tanaka (07B): Our new first-choice goalkeeper. After a season out on loan I chose to promote him and he repayed me. He had a few bad games, but he improves. Voted second best goalkeeper in the league and I hope he will my number one for years to come. Off The Pitch We didn't get the promised stadium sponsorship money. Don't know if there's a bug (will post a report) or if that got canceled (was no message). So we have some financial problems. Luckily we had many clauses we could sell from the 100s of youth players the likes of Lazio, Roma, Frosinone and even clubs like Robur Siena are snatching up from our U16 every year. But next season will be a catastrophe. The Youth Intake A reason for that, is this. In the third season in a row, I don't present you any players here, because we had such a bad intake. Again: No players has more than 3 stars potential. I changed my Head Of Youth Development but that didn't help. Can't upgrade anything because the board will not allow it. At the moment I am little bit frustrated, because I am bleeding dry without new players. It's the first time ever doing this challenge, even the first time ever playing FM that I get so many bad intakes in a row. I don't know if it's because of my good player all getting snatched up in younger years (look at this one: 2 stars current, 4.5 stars potential ability – he's first-team-ready at the age of 15). Next Season Don't know what to expect. Another 8th place would be great, but with my squad getting smaller, no new players coming in, no money in the bank and every injury hurting is really bad, everything could happen.

Fastbasher Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) 2058/59 Annecy FC season review - French Ligue 1 The League We started reasonably well and were in 10th place at the halfway stage. The second half of the season wasn't so great, but we finish in a safe and solid 12th place. This represented an improvement over the previous two seasons. Marseille offered me an interview. A chance to join the best club in my game. I turned it down of course. The Cup At the 39th time of trying and in our 3rd final, we finally won a French Cup. We did it in style by destroying anyone we played. 23 goals for, 4 against. We got quite lucky with the draw. We avoided all the elite teams, and only had to face two relatively weak League 1 teams. We also got 4 out of 5 home games leading up to the final. This gets us back into Europe after three seasons with no European football. The Players Benjamin Bernard YP50a was our player of the season. He lead the scoring with 32 goals. The trio of youngsters Sylvio Rimane, Zaid Neubronner and Daniele Vanacore look to be developing into real stars and the core of our next generation team. Eliott Bruneau YP58a looks to have the physical and mental qualities to also make the first team, so I threw him in as soon as he turned 16. Ahmet Cinar saw the benefits of changing nationality by getting to go to the World Cup with Turkey in the off season. Transfers The redevelopment of the team continued. Four young players are improving. Tossavi, Callamand, Makengo and Cinar have a few more seasons left. We're basically only two key centrebacks and a bench away from having a competitive team again.

jstu9 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Koninklijke Voetbal Klub Tienen-Hageland - 2037/38 Season - Belgian Pro League A After finally reaching the top tier of Belgian football, I of course was concerned about getting relegated immediately. But we reached mid-table early on and stayed there, bouncing between about 7th to 10th. We finally ended up 10th after a weak final few games. We actually came close to advancing in the European Places Playoff. If we had won our final game we would have advanced to the semi-finals. (The EPP is where the bottom 10 teams of League A and top 6 teams of League B battle for the right to compete for a spot in Euro Cup II). The youth pulls have not been as strong the past couple of years but I think most (or at least some of that) is just due to having better players. I'm pretty sure my players now are much better than the guys I was producing when I started this save. I sold off Christian Fox to Dortmund mainly for the money. Of course I am still basically broke, we must lose millions of dollars every year. I think the only way I will be able to improve my facilities anymore is when (or if) I get into Europe consistently. And I guess 425k is the amount of money a team must pay to just sign one of my youth players, that's how I lost Leo Hermans.

XaW Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 XaW - Caersws - 2029/30 Table | Squad | Transfers | Finances A new season, and this time as reigning champions. Unfortunately, TNS came back with a vengeance. They ran away early on, and left all in their wake. Behind them, we were part of the pack fighting for the rest of the European spots. TNS were simply uncatchable, as much as we tried to retake the title. We fought well, but were only able to secure the 2nd place on the final day. In the Welsh League Cup we beat Caerau Ely before losing to Haverfordwest in the 3rd round. In the Welsh Cup we beat Prestatyn Town, Cardiff Met Uni, Port Talbot Town and Bangor City to reach the final. Here we faced TNS in a tight match where we ended as winners after a single first half goal. In the Irn-Bru cup we lost to Falkirk in the 3rd round. Now, for the big thing. Our first go in the Champions League, and I've already teased with a couple of screenshots, but here is the full story. And I have no idea how we did it, nor why the other teams allowed us to beat them. I got spanked by TNS in the league this season, so I don't think my counterattacking tactic is that good yet either. Anyway, we started in the 1st qualifying round were we drew Videoton of Hungary. A strong 3-3 draw away was followed up with a 1-1 draw at home to put us through on away goals. In the 2nd qualifying round we got Club Brugge of Belgium. I posted the amazing 2-2 draw away, before we somehow thumped them 3-0 at home. In the 3rd qualification round we faced my fellow Norwegians Rosenborg. We showed them real football when we somehow beat them 3-0 at home, before defending our way to a 1-0 loss in Trondheim. At that point I was elated, because even if we lost in the playoffs we would go into the Europa League group stage. Our opponent turned out to be Olympiakos of Greece. Down south we dominated at their ground and ran out winners 2-0. At home we controlled it to a 1-1 draw to go into the group stage of the Champions League. Simply amazing. In the group stage we had a tough draw when we got Atlético Madrid of Spain, Juventus of Italy and Slavia Praha of Czechia. We got thumped in both matches against the former teams, including a 10-1 loss away to Atlético. Against Slavia Praha we lost at home, but managed to sneak in a 2-1 win in Prague, but we still lost out on the 3rd place and finished bottom. Still, this did wonders for our finances and I've gotten approved improvements including all facilities to be completed some time next season. Here is our updated European tour map. Now, a bit expanded. We had another pretty good youth intake this season. The most promising ones are Evan Evans 30i and Richard Williams 30d. The leading players this season have been Cameron Jenkinson 27b (who are refusing to sign a new contract!), Charlie Williamson 28h and Karl Evans 27i. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of my players became really good for my standards, but every time the same happens: Lazio or AS Roma are loaning them out several times to Serie B or lower Serie A teams, they are playing first team there, but after 3 or 4 loans Lazio/Roma are letting them go for free (even their are worth a few millions), so i miss out on the money.

Popular Post Jtomsett11 Posted February 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2020 FM19 Bari update - Season 11 + 12 Season 11 (2029-2030) When I last updated, we had won Serie A for the second time having won it two years before. We headed into this season hoping for a pop at the Champions League, the trophy needed to complete the challenge. I didn't enjoy this season much (you can tell from the lack of screenshots!), despite winning the league again. Atalanta finished second on 73 points, so at no point did I really feel under threat. Our champions league path was much more exciting, and we made the final, on the way our newest striking sensation becoming the youngest goalscorer in the competition. However, here Atalanta pipped us to the trophy, and despite being 1-0 up and playing really well, I never really believed we were going to win it. I think part of the reason for my lack of enjoyment was the lack of goals from my forwards. Tortora, our 21 goal striker from last season, suffered a 10 month injury, while Parlato, our only other highly rated striker, was again hugely inconsistent. Long gone are the days of him top scoring as he did in Season 5,6,7 and 9. As our squad improves overall, teams sit a lot deeper and this has led to an increase in goals from other positions, as shown by my top scorer being CM Fiorentino on 12. However, I made the decision in the summer of season 11 to ship out Tortora and Parlato and reset with the youngsters to give them a chance. Squad shot 1 Squad shot 2 Transfers Youth intake (one real potential star here - will keep an eye on him!) Season 12 Starting this season, the only goal was champions league success. Last seasons failure in the final meant I was determined to win it. I also realised we had never won the League Cup, so I decided to play my first team in this too. We won the super cup, and also won the league cup, so half way through the season, things were looking good. An excellent Champions League Quarter final win over Arsenal meant we were drawn against Atalanta in the semis. This time, we beat them! We then went on to win the final against Barcelona, so we've completed the challenge!! Celebrating the Quadruple is a fantastic way to do it. There are some players in particular who deserve praise for this and last season. Our Gk, Palumbo, is fast developing into a top goalkeeper. He has already played over 70 league games, meaning he could smash our records for all time appearances if he reaches his potential. Scarcella, top assists from last season and top scorer this season - a superb player despite some average stats! Criscuolo is now my main striker, and had an OK season despite injury. However, I'm really hoping in the long term Antonioli (squad shot below) takes over the mantle as he can be brilliant but is very inconsistent. Fiorentino may not be the best player, but his stats aren't bad in key areas and his goalscoring has been incredible! Top scorer last year and double figures this year. In AMC we have two excellent talents, Boakye and Morini (wonderkid). By far the strongest part of the squad. Squad shot 1 Squad shot 2 Youth Transfers Future plans I don't really have the time currently (8 month old son) to justify buying Fm20 and starting again, so may just plod along with this save and see how good some of these young players get, and how many trophies I can win! I may update further every few seasons (depending how far I get) so good luck to all in the meantime!

Kazushi80 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 congrats @Jaketomsett And in such a short time, that's impressive.... On my save i am still making close to zero progress. After playing 13.5 season I lost for the first time a good player (which says everything you need to know about the quality of my intakes). My goalkeeper left for 2.5 Million Euros (had a release clause) and plays now Serie A. That's still a long way for me and it doesn't look like we get reinforcements. I am happy that the newest intakes has at least a player with 3.5 stars potential instead of 3 stars maximum like last year... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grff Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 NK Zadar: 2027/28 season review Well that was a bizarre season Couldn't buy a win in the league most of the time, whereas we managed to get all the way to the Conference League final, achieving some crazy results on the way. No real standout performances this season, which summed up a poor domestic season. I resisted a £14m bid from Milan for our young striker. Youth intake was very ordinary. We could really do with a keeper coming through soon as our number one is almost 34yo. Transfers below. Shipped out a few players that weren't going to break into the first team, mostly 22 year olds. Training and youth facilities are to be upgraded thanks to £6m+ of Conference League prize money. Our attendances in Europe also went through the roof. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dervinus Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Aigaleo FC - Season 2020-2021 My first season of the challenge is complete! I inherited quite a good squad overall, in fact one of the best in the division! Unfortunately many of my key players are over 30 years old and heading towards the twilight of their careers, so...good thing this is a youth challenge! I inherited computer generated youth players (labelled YPOxxx), and a few of them even featured in the first team. The most promising youngsters are a right back Stathis Pitsinos and a forward Panagiotis Kalamakis. The season started brightly with us taking an early lead in the table. As the season went on, we started to fall apart a bit and fell back into the pack. The Greek Leagues play a split season - you play 22 games a full league, then split into a top half and bottom half battling for promotion or relegation. We ended up 3rd in the first half of the season. We started the champions group in poor form, but had a late surge and ended up in second place! This qualified us for a playoff against the second worst team from the Greek Super League, which we easily won. Ironically, they were much easier opponents then our opponents in the champion group. The youngsters who were involved acquitted themselves well. In addition, our U19 won their league! Our player of the season was a 34 year old center back, Gotovos. We were able to re-sign the majority of our ageing squad for next year, and hope to fight hard against relegation. If we do somehow survive, ongoing survival is going to be tougher each year. Our first youth intake was pretty dire. Lots of poor personalities and no great outfield prospects. Our two highest rated prospects were both goalkeepers; not glamorous, but we do have a 34 year old first choice keeper who will soon need to be replaced I expect. Transfers League Table: Fixtures at end of season: Youth Intake: Player of the season: Onwards and upwards!

Ross Ingersoll Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) OFK Beograd Season 1 (2020/2021) Prva liga Srbije The first season started out very shaky when in my first week on job i upset a player and got 75 percent of my team mad at me. we started losing and it snow balled almost to the point of getting fired but I and the team rebounded and started making headway. We lost early in the cup (1st match) and lost 6 matches in a row. Things started to turn around after that and pushed ourselves up into the mid card by the half way point. ended the season in 9th, just before the league went into the final stage of two groups of 8 teams each. I finished 9th and was put in the 2nd group, assuring me the best i could finish was 9th and thats where we finished. all in all was a very good opening season and am looking forward to the next.
