Maikol Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Just now, scarp said: Brora Rangers - 2023/24 Miracle promotion might be the thing that can save our finances as money in Scottish Championship is way better than in L1. Even if we demote back to L1 next season, we will get twice the money we could get by winning L1. We played worse than last year in my opinion but with massive luck we managed to get on form for play-offs and advance. Decent intake again, no upgrades again. We will be the only not professional club in Scottish Championship.

benrollo Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 @scarp absolutely smashing through the seasons! I've never tried this challenge but giving it a go with Needham Market. 13 players on the books including a 41 year old who's about to hang up his boots. Roll on youth intake!

Maikol Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) JS Hercules 21-22 Did a oopsie and got promoted to the Finnish Premier Division even though i got predicted 9th (won the league too after the split so didn't need playoffs).

XaW Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Season 2022 - PostNord-ligaen Avdeling 1 (tier 3) - 1st season I don't know how we did it, but holy hell if we didn't win the whole league first season! My usually solid 4-5-1/4-3-3 were very leaky, but we scored loads of goals. Now, I could try to change it, but as long as we keep winning, I'm really hoping the reason is the fact that my DMs are crap, and the defenders not much better. We really have our strengths going forward and it shows. I managed to get the academy coaching and the youth recruitment improved this season, and even if our finances took a bit of a hit, I still think it's worth it in the long run. Looking forward to seeing if we will turn professional next season as we go up into the 2nd tier. Transfers | Youth Preview | Youth Intake A decent intake, but nothing more. Axel Dahlstrøm 22a is the most exciting one. Key players: Ernest Rzepecki, Aleksa Radovanovic & Kristian Seteklev 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules that we have agreed upon (unless I've badly mistaken) let's you choose between any team that shows up on the "promoted" section after holidaying for a year. I also got some good sides to pick from in Portugal, but at the same time there will always be some nations that have some teams that are easier than others each version.
