lewis999 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) AO KAVALA I Season Review 2030/31 League | Championship Group | Cup Win |Transfers | Finances The league campaign started a bit wobbly before we slowly got ourselves into 2nd position, we alternated between 2nd and 3rd for a few months before we hit top spot around February time. We were 2nd heading into the Championship stage when the league splits but because we aren't good enough to consistently compete against the teams at the top as our squad has a few holes in it we even went as low as 4th and then managed to, just in time, clinch 2nd spot. In the cup as shown above in the link we had a very hard 1st match up against multiple title winners AEK Athens and then after that every round was easier even the final and we won our very first domestic cup! Youth Intake/Preview Preview | Youth Intake Zagliveris is the best player from this years bunch along with Ntavaris. Ntavaris is impressive because he is rated 4.5* potential against our best player and the leagues best player Paraskevas Tsalikis. I have had bids of 60m+ for him from nearly all the worlds best clubs and we probably only have him for 3 more seasons so hopefully by that time Ntavaris is ready to take his place.

libbyshuss Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Brazil - Fc Mirassol Season 20 - 2041 Serie A - 1st Season Summary What a season! It started with:- State Championship - which we won for the second time, beating Santos in the final! It doesn't matter, but it's nice to win Serie A - Winners! We started well and just kept going! We just ground out result after result, a huge amount of 1-0 wins and a lot of draws where we scored late equalisers. It feels weird though as it feels like it was a title that other teams lost, rather than we won if that makes sense. Weirdly anti-climactic after all this time but also a relief Copa Libertadores - And we were within a whisker of completing the whole challenge! We got all the way to our first final where we met out old nemesis Internacional. They outplayed us and we were lucky to only lose 1-0. As if to rub it in they then beat us 3-0 in the league 4 days later. They're still better than us, I have no idea how they slipped up in the league tbh FIFA World Club Championship - We qualified for this somehow? Dunno how. We were put in a group with Manchester United and only lost 1-0. IT gave me an idea of just how good this group are. They're good! Copa Brasilia - out in the QFs. played the reserves as we had a league game two days after and lost 5-1. Not too bothered. Players Le29B - Absurdly consistent. Another great season - 22 goals and 23 assists from right wing. 28 now so in his prime. Bibi 37A - the missing piece of the jigsaw. Finally, a proper striker. Now 20 and a wonderkid his strikes gained us so many points at vital times during the season. finished with 47 goals in 62 games, he's worryingly starting to think he should be at a bigger club Youth They promised me a golden generation adn then gave me this??? signed about two just to boost the personality of the squad. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else think he could do a job as a midfielder? I doubt I'll will be able to keep him for for than a couple of seasons as a couple of Championship clubs are already showing interest. How much do you guys think I can get from him in a season or so? https://gyazo.com/e450d7aaae782cd60a441c3b6c5917ec Well, he's only going to stay with us for 2 seasons after became unhappy when I rejected a 100k bid from Sheffield Wednesday. I tried to ignore his fit but when it started to affect the dressing room, I decided to see if we could get more for him and we surprisingly did. He opted to join Watford, who are are currently 3rd in the Championship, so I don't know if I'll get much from the 50% of next sale clause. Our first youth academy grad sale will give us a chance to upgrade our training facilities (currently rated as poor) for the first time. But for some reason the board rejected my request to upgrade our youth facilities (currently rated as basic). Anyone know how much that costs? I'll leave you with a screenshot from my top youth product from Season 6: https://gyazo.com/3437557d62d6422ec257afaf4da69f0a Hopefully I can hold on to him for more than a couple of seasons, but things don't look good as some L2 clubs are already showing interest.

Popular Post darren1983 Posted July 2, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2021 South Shields Season 2040/41 Review - Premier League League - In a shocking turn of events I once again played around with our tactics this season, I have come to accept that trying to play total football isn't the right move but I have gone to a more possession based tactic and it worked, we dominated most games but were plagued at times by throwing away leads (3-0 up after 7 mins at home to Chelsea and drew 4-4, 3-1 up with 15 to go against Fulham and drew 3-3 are the 2 that spring to mind) and around the New Year we were in the top 7 and we really kicked on here, and going into the final game of the season we were 4th. A point away to Leeds would get us in the Champions League. We lost 5-2! Missed out on GD but think Champions League would have been far too early for us, I was really only aiming for Conference League once it became clear we had a shot of Europe but I'll take some seasons in Europa for now. Star man was once again Mark Campbell 31A with 29 league goals this season. This man just scores. In the 2 seasons we've played him as a out and out striker he has 60 goals in 76 Premier League games. The one season where I kept messing with his role he still scored 17 but he is a machine. The worry is he wants to go to a bigger club, has 2 seasons on his deal but a has a 40m buy out clause and some clubs are sniffing around. I need to keep him. FA Cup - Really poor in this, first game was a slightly rotated side but in the replay was our best 11 and we just didn't turn up. Would love to win a cup at some stage. League Cup - A nice little run but not much happened Transfers - loads of loans out now as we look to give people game time that we can't right now Squad - getting there now. The young players are getting stronger and getting used to the level they're now at. We also have our first wonderkid Matthew Davies 38A who finished 3rd in the NxGn award will look to give him more starts next season with the extra games we'll have thanks to Europe Finances - Loads of money!! Got the Youth Academy up to level 1 now, got some more youth and training ground upgrades due before the end of the year too Youth Intake - another poor one really.

dkouv Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Cultural Durango – Season 4 (2024/25) Segunda Division B Grupo II A season similar to the last one; we started well but then tailed off and spent most of the year in mid-table. A late surge during the run-in had us get tantalisingly close to the playoffs, but we drew and lost the two crucial games against playoff rivals Badalona and Llagostera which saw us finish 5th, 1 point less than last season and 2 points outside of the playoff spots. Players: He is not rated as our best player but Syndou Diomande 02a is definitely the man - he is pretty much the only player at the club who regularly scores goals, with 24 this season. I have played other players in exactly the same position with absolutely no success, so the whole club form basically goes into tailspin if he gets injured or suspended - but he’s very consistent and hardly misses a game. Other than him, untagged centre back Pedro Moreno has suddenly become our best defender, chipping in with plenty of set piece goals, and Erik Pascual 01d has been great in midfield scoring 10 and assisting 13. Our keeper Goikoetxea is still with us, and increasing his goal tally as he’s actually our best penalty taker, but in general many of the prospects are not developing so the squad is stagnating a bit. Youth intake: I was promised full-backs, and I got… full backs! The thing is, my old HOYD wouldn’t renew his contract and our poor finances meant I could only hire a guy with JPA and JPP of 6 to replace him so I honestly have no idea how good any of these players are. Some of the defenders seem decent, but none are first team ready and I could really do with a striker to play alongside Diomande. Facilities/Finances: Our training facilities got downgraded and we’re close to 300k in the red, so going backwards here Transfers: nothing of note Season | League | Pos. | Europe | Best player | Notes --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2021/22 | Segunda B Grupo II | 9 | n/a | Juanma Iparragirre (MC) | 2022/23 | Segunda B Grupo II | 14 | n/a | Lander Goikoetxea (GK) | 2023/24 | Segunda B Grupo II | 3 | n/a | Lander Goikoetxea (GK) | Lost in playoff semi final 2024/25 | Segunda B Grupo II | 5 | n/a | Syndou Diomande 02a (AMC/ST) | Facilities ---------- Season | Coaching | Recruitment | Training Fac. | Youth Fac. | Stadium ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2021/22 | Excellent | Fairly basic | Adequate | Adequate | 3000 2022/23 | Excellent | Fairly basic | Adequate | Adequate | 3000 2023/24 | Excellent | Fairly basic | Adequate | Adequate | 3000 2024/25 | Excellent | Fairly basic | Below average | Adequate | 3000 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

libbyshuss Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 FC Mirassol - Brazil 2042 - season 21 Serie A - 7th Season Summary Not the greatest title defence! State championship - narrowly knocked out in the quarters Serie A - we started as we finished the season before, just grinding out results. A few more draws than I'd like but 12 games in we were fourth and going along nicely. We then had a run of 12 games where we won 3 and lost 7 and all of a sudden we were 9th. There was talk of my sacking with a 50/50 split amongst the fans! ungrateful heathens! But our title defence was turning into a struggle to qualify for the Libertadores, it wasn't good. we rallied and got into the Libertadores fairly comfortably in the end but we were a long way off our title winning form Copa Libertdores - The one I need! Breezed through the group again, got Santos in first knockout stage. They won the first leg 4-2, we battered them in the second but couldn't find a second goal. A 1-0 win not enough and we were out Copa Brazilia - Santos again! In the semis Players Carlos Cesar 35A - Might be the main reason our title defence was so poor. I spent two and a half seasins trying to get him to sign a new contract but he wouldn't. He had a 14.5m release clause i knew someone would trigger. Last season it was Atletico Madrid but he turned them down, this season it was Man City and he left. His value immediately went from 3.5m to 50m and he went straight into the Brazil squad. I knew he was good - it's no wonder we struggled losing a world class midfielder with no handy replacement Bibi 37A - Another factor may be Bibi's injury hit campaign. He kept getting a series of niggling injuries. 46 goals in the 47 he played though Le 29B - Another ridiculous season. He's 29 now, I'm going to cry when he retires. Bae Sung-Hwa 31B - a couple of poor seasons pushed him down the pecking order. He's basically cover for Bibi and Le now. But he had his best season for years! Youth I had what might be my best preview yet! it was very exciting! But the intake? Not so much.... Hopefully a couple will come good. After that slew of wonderkids a few seasons back its dried up a little. Career 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

XaW Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Follo Fotballklubb - Season 2022 (Season 1) Review Table | Squad | Transfers | Finances Back home again. For those of you who don't know much about this club, the club was established in 2000 as a way of creating a big team in the region of Follo, just south of Oslo. The issue with players from the area is that there were no big teams around, and to really try to become a good player, youths had to play for a team in Oslo and that's not ideal for the travel needed. So the local football teams went together with some local sponsors and created the club with the long term goal of becoming a bigger side. The other local teams would feed the best players into the club, and if those players became great and sold for a substantial fee, then it would drip a lot down to the local clubs. For a long while it looked promising and the team even reached the cup final and narrowly lost to Strømsgodset in 2010. A few years later the club started to have issues with money and the board resigned. So the club sort of failed, but are still the best club in the region, even if they didn't establish themselves as a top flight team. So this is where I come in to the story. Being a local, I played for a few of the feeder teams of Follo in my youth, I imagine myself as someone who has been away from football for a while and because of some connections I got the role as the manager of the team, promising to focus on the local youth players. So even if I will only use players from the youth intake, I'll think of them as young players brought in from the other locals teams become they came through! A few of the team are affiliates in the game already, but I'll try to keep them and add the others if I get the chance. So I took over the club after they got promoted from the Norsk Tipping-ligaen (4th tier). The team is quite good and from the start I can see we have some great potential in the team. I settled for a 4-4-2 since I'm quite familiar with the team in real life, and I want to take advantage of the key players. The season started quite nicely and we jumped straight into the battle for the top spots. Rosenborg 2, Odd 2, Molde 2, Bryne, and Notodden were in a big pile all with the chance of the win. The 2nd teams are unable to get promoted from this level though, so as soon as the 6 of us pulled away we only had to finish above either Bryne or Notodden to reach the playoff. Eventually our biggest competitors were Rosenborg 2 and Bryne. We managed to hold on though, and clinched it in the final match after beating Øygarden 3-0 away. So we are promoted as champions. In Norgesmesterskapet we beat Stovner and Fredrikstad before we lost heavily to our parent team Vålerenga in the 3rd round. Youth Very happy with this as our first intake. Some nice personalities as well. Piotr Mocarski 22a is a very nice player, but I rate him more as a midfielder than a striker. Statistics: Spoiler A nice intake to start out the map. 2nd team: They only played friendlies U19 team: In the Norwegian U19 Championship Oslo they finished 6th. In the Norwegian U19 Cup they beat Orkla before losing to Stabæk in the 2nd round.

Yes, this is fine. You just can't sign new players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can renew contract to players, but NOT loans. Any current loans must be terminated, and any transfers possible to cancel must be cancelled. Other than that, the players in the squads at the time you take over can be used as long as you want. But if they leave the club at any time they can NOT be resigned into the club. You are allowed to loan OUT players though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
