I've never received a penny for a goalkeeper, even though many of them are now starters at the level I played in for 17 seasons. Hold on, that's not true. I've just checked and I received a £240 loan fee for one of my goalies. And £140 transfer fee for another. Still, I doubt that was the level of extra money you were envisaging.

Brentmeister Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Season 2 review Another decent season, securing our place in the promotion play-off league for the second time. I almost didn't want to qualify because we finished a crazy 29 points behind the league leaders during the regular season, meaning they had a 15 point head start in the championship group with only 18 points to play for! I used these games to test tactics and to throw some youngsters in to see if they can swim. Youth preview and intake Unfortunately my game kept crashing due to corrupted files from the newgen facepack. My original preview was very promising and listed 5 promising players in key positions, oh well! When the intake came I was pretty happy, some promising players and decent personalities in a variety of positions. Top dog from this batch is probably Limbombe; 6'4", either footed with decent flair, technique, finishing, dribbling and aggression. Sounds like the new Zlatan to me. Transfers, finances and misc Still losing money at at rate of about 350k a year. No transfers obviously. I also managed to complete my second coaching course. Aims for season 3 I'm quietly confident we can get promoted within the next 2 seasons and then the challenge will really begin.

Popular Post keeper#1 Posted February 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2021 Farnborough 2026-27 Season Review Fixtures 1, 2, 3: The signs of a young team....lots of choppy form. Play like world beaters one day. Play like a playground team the next. Really hard to build on any successes. League Table: More wins than last season but also more draws. I'd love to turn some of the losses into draws as they would help us build on our successes. Maybe when the more talented youngsters start getting call ups from the academy. Barnet will enjoy league football next season as champions of the National League. Torquay, Bath, Bradford and Gateshead go down to North/South leagues. Playoff Tree: A true to form playoff with second place Dag & Red beating third place Solihull Motors in the final FA Cup: A great FA Cup for the club capped with a 800,000 pound pay day with a trip to Anfield. FA Trophy: A short stay in the FA Trophy ended by Curzon Ashton xG General Performance: Down toward the bottom of the shots per game again. Our lack of offense is putting too much pressure on our defense. Next year, I'm going to try to go more offensive with our tactic as that's where our strength is and hope that the defense can hold on. xG Expected vs Actual: Outperformed our xG by 12 goals which allowed us to outperform our xG Points by 16 and our position from an expected 22nd to our actual 14th place finish. xG Attacking Efficiency xG Defensive Efficiency Stats 1 Stats 2 2026-27 Player of the Year Big E 23E: Big E is our player of the year. He is currently our best defender and still developing as best he can given our training facilities. 2026-27 Rookie of the Year Ellis Sewell 26E: He stepped in the center of the attacking midfield line as a playmaker but he's more of a goal scorer than playmaker. He is now our main penalty taker which helped boost his goal tally. Youth Intake Preview Youth Intake Youth Intake DNA LW Wade Starnes 27A RB Joey Frawley 27B LB/CB Jake de Freitas 27C LB William Ndongala 27D CF Jordan Humphries 27E RW/CF Armando 27F RW Neil Neville 27G CM Gavin Allen 27I Moments to Remember Best XI Accolades Almanac Armando 27F is already breaking league records held by the Farnborough academy players who came before him. Some of these players have been surpassed in ability by new academy players. End dates will be coming soon for Adrian Keane 22C, Andy Lange 23B and Ed Wedatilake 22A. Lots of new names appearing in the academy goals top 10 as well. Attendance is down. I think that has to with not hosting a EPL team in the FA Cup 3rd round. In 2025-26, we hosted Chelsea. In 2026-27, we traveled to Liverpool. Mike Neiland has completed all of his coaching badges. Youth facilities are shaping up to be some of the best in the Vanarama National League. Now, we just need the players. Jawad Amrani 25B was not going to sign a new contract when it expired in 12 months. He had a few offers in the transfer window. The board stepped in AFTER I did most of the negotiating with Sheffield Wednesday. 170,000 pounds is a nice fee for a player with 15 goals for the club and hopefully we can cash in of the 50% next sale clause as well. He is currently in Wednesday's U23 team. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post XaW Posted February 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2021 De Treffers - Season 2030/31 Review Table | Squad | Transfers | Finances We survived! And it went much better than I had expected! I thought we'd struggle and perhaps survive by a thread. But as it turns out, we did fine. I mean, we got the occasional spanking by Ajax and PSV, but for the most part we held our own. We were never in contention to fight for the top, but we still finished in a very decent 6th place in our debut season. This qualified us for the European playoff. In the semi final we lost to Utrecht, so no European games for us next season. We finally have some more money in now, so I have got a few things approved going forward. Our main issue for now is our small stadium, but I've just gotten an expansion approved, so we are on the right path. In the TOTO KNVB Beker we lost to N.E.C. in the 1st round. Looks like another goalkeeper! But lots of green info here. A good intake, and the goalkeeper is promising, but not the most exciting one. Diego have a lot of promising attributes for a good winger. Statistics: Spoiler That's quite a few new countries added. Cyprus, Indonesia and Iceland all added. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marazola Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 First intake, and it's absolutely superb. A few of them. Maor Krispin For this league he's very good. Most of his necessary stats are around 10, has 13 flair and 14 determination. Only undoing is his pace, but thats slightly made up by 14 acceleration. Daniel David, future captain of Bnei Lod. He goes straight into my first team as I need a good passer in my system. Oren Kapitolnik - really just a poacher which I use in my system, so he's signing. Elad Dahan - If I can get his reflexes and one on ones to 7, maybe he could see some use. Avi Benisti - Perfect ball winner for his age in this league. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnkleTass Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 ACN Siena 1904 Season 2032/33 Review Even the best laid plans go awry. Now you'd be forgiven for assuming this is going to be a negative post based on how it has started, but no I managed to pull a rabbit out of a hat and have an incredible season. Finished 2nd in the league and made it to the Coppa Italia Quarter Final and in doing both of these things I have managed to stabilise the clubs financial position. My only problem is I wanted this is another year or two, the squad I feel is in for a rude awakening in Serie A and I expect to come back down with a record low points tally. This season just gone Padova finished bottom on 8 points. I'm scared we won't even reach that. However we move for now its time to celebrate. Although we could have won the title, but the boys melted in the run in and did just enough to go up automatically still. Youth Intake has been poor for a little while as the quality in the squad has improved, still getting one potential 5 star a year, but outside of that very slim pickings. I was also contemplating letting Farcas walk as I couldn't justify his wage demands, but with promotion now I will definitely re-sign him meaning at least for one more year we are on 10/11 first teams being academy players. I also moved our former top striker Tartaglia to RW to allow the new generation in Lucarelli to come through which seems to have been a masterstroke with another proven goal scorer on the field I feel we are now scoring more freely Now that the finances are on track I can begin to build out my staff again to help with development and hopefully build up some back and invest in the facilities because they are still not great. My managing finances has gone back down and again no job offers this year but now that I am in Serie A I will push again and ask for my final coaching badge.

Brentmeister Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) After my Belgium save was irreparably corrupted I decided I needed a new country and a new challenge. I chose C.F. Os Belenenses of Portugal. They are an AFC Wimbledon style phoenix club, with a redemption arc just waiting to be written and I couldn't resist. We also have an arch rival in B-SAD who we hate and can't wait to destroy. They have a fantastic starting base with great facilities which should make it easier in the early years but they're also competing with Benfica, Sporting and B-SAD for young players so that balances it out long term in my opinion!
