Sanno11 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Nuneaton Borough Season Review 2038/2039 Competitions Well, that was a long hiatus from this game, 7 months or so. This season was a slog, hence the long break, I fell out of love with the team and the bleak situation. Upon resuming the save, I was able to guide Nuneaton to a 21st placed finish, our safety confirmed with two games to spare. I am moving quickly into next season, in the hope that I can make some progress. EFL Championship - 21st position - League table FA Cup - lost in 4th round Carabao Cup - lost in 1st round Playing Squad Youth Intake Tom Oliver (39) Chris O' Laughlin (39) Finances, Facilities and Transfers Some great news at the end of the season was the announcement of a new stadium, with a new capacity projected at 15,696. On a negative note we lost two key players Gavin Sawyer (35b) and Scott Cartwright (35d) for a combined 16 million. This leaves us significantly weaker. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winski Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 The start of season 2029/2030 is very promising! After the 10-0 loss against Dortmund, we managed to win most of our matches. We are now 9 matches unbeaten! And we won 3-1 against Bayern, and because of that win we are now 2nd place in the Bundesliga after 16 matches. Let's hope we can maintain this form for quite some time! The youth intake is promising. Let's hope for a good goalkeeper, because we can need some improvements there. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashton321 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Season 8 - Yuen Long Competitions - It was a fantastic season for us this year. We managed to get another Challenge Cup win with a brilliant win, this is the 3rd time in 8 seasons that we have won this title and becoming a bit of a speciality for us. We managed to get to both of the other semi finals we lost out both times to league winners Eastern AA. In the League we put up a great challenge and managed to go all the way to the game before last in with a chance of the title, in the end we did not have enough as we lost both of our last two games and finished 3rd but all in all a great season. Transfers - Once again a few loanees left, and a couple players left on permanent deals Finances - We have recently been taken over but they seem to be worse than the last ones. We are once again being rumoured as a possible takeover candidates Youth Intake - Usual sort of intake Stars Wong Man Ho - Left winger who performed miracles for us Woo Chi Chung - Another super season for the Keeper Mok Ka Kit - Another great season for the right winger who is really making this spot his own 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sn00gle Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) Odra Wodzisław - 2029/30 Squad - League - Finances - Transfers I literally blaming Tootenham for this season! At the start Smuniewski 04a moved to Borrusia Dortmund for 1,8ml + 50%. We managed to hold 4th place at the half of the season and 3rd round in Cup after losing with Górnik Zabrze after extra time where we played 11 vs 10 and two freekicks of Górnik make us lose 3-5... In middle season break the show start happen when everyone want Kaczorowski 06e. I was able to negotiate but ofc Chairman ruin everything and I had to go from 6 ml to 3 ml to save 50% from next transfer. And here is the point. When I was negotiating I marked option that Kaczorowski should leave us at the end of the season but Tottenham didn't renegotiate same ofert they just move in and made a whole new offer without this option which I ofc accepted. In fact we lost best striker. In last day of transfer window Napoli made offer for Jurhar 06a which ofc I had to accept. Poor 750K + 50% as he has 875k clausule but at last this time I marked to save him to end of the season. We won 2 matches after brake then lost like 8 in row which means ofc Bye to Europe Cup. I wanted more from intake I would say disappoiting to me in this season. One GK from Irak making it first player outside Europe. Probably fist team GK in NT but to poor to play for me as I have 4 of them LOL. From cash and thanks to new Chairman I was able get 2 upgrades in TF and one to YR + JC. As well we get now 2 new fedder clubs. One is Stadion Śląski with good facilities and we are geographically near and we waiting for second proposition. On the end of the season we bank around 1 ml from our league which alowed us to start upgrade of youth facilities.

bg0123 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Hi everyone. I'm a little late to the party. I hadn't planned on playing FM21 but couldn't resist after installing Game Pass for PC. I haven't tried this challenge in a few years but it's always been the most interesting type of save game for me. So here we go, trying my luck in Switzerland: 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashton321 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Season 9 - Yuen Long Competitions - The Cups were decent this year, two semi finals and one early knock out. Amazingly Eastern AA have won their fifth title on the bounce, we looked as if we may have challenged them but we seemed to fall away at the end. We got one point in the Championship Stage and this is not enough to win the title. We did not even qualify for Continental competition for next year either with our poor finish. Not a bad season but I was hoping for a little more. Next year will be year 10, I feel some of the kids that have been here a while need to step up. We did play in the Confed Cup this year, we got through the play off bit to get into the group. We beat both North Korean Teams before loosing twice to Hong Kong Rangers which saw us out of the tournament. Transfers - Some more youngsters left on loan, a couple more left for cash, these were players that I did not think would make it Finances - Its really not looking good here Youth Intake - Maybe the worst intake we have had so far Stars Sze Man Pan - 31 goals across all competitions this year. An excellent striker who is getting better and better Wong Wai Tak - Stood up for us at the back this year, he did very well played both left back and in the middle Mok Ka Kit - Mr Consistent for us, very rarely plays badly and one of the first names on the sheet 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Champions We struggled early on the season, as our European fixtures meant we had to rotate heavily and our lack of depth was obvious. But once the European matches drew to a close and we were able to field our best team and the wins came flooding in. Given the age of our squad, here's hoping we begin to establish our presence in the league and win a few more titles. Our continental exploits saw success too, navigating our way through a tough group and making it through to the knockout stages. Youth Intake I somehow forgot to screenshot the intake, but despite all the green in the preview the intake wasn't that great in terms of depth. We only signed 9 players, but two of our prospects are considered promising. So it's pretty good I think. Avi Keha 7A - Shimi Barda 7B* - Roi Malka 7C Spoiler Best XI Timor Barda 4G - Haim Eliyahu 4A* - Roni Davidi 1E* Another massive growth period this year, which again explains how well we did this season. Timor Barda came out of the woodwork and is now the best player in our side by a long shot. Record Breakers Transfers Progress 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashton321 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Season 1 - Lonestar Kashmir FC Competitions - We started off the season with the Durand Cup I was not hopeful and two wins and a draw showed why I wasnt. It was not enough for us to go through into the next round. In the League we were clear favourites to go down. We started off well with 4 points in 4 games. We had a tricky middle part of the season where we struggled to get wins but all in all it was a decent season as we had just about enough towards the end of the year to seal our place for next year in the league. Finances - Usual Intake - A decent intake. We have a lot of players coming in who are looking like they maybe better than what we have in the future. In terms of players getting chances from the outset it is looking a little unlikely apart from maybe one or two players. Stars Baoringdao Bodo - Best player at the squad by an absolute mile Melroy Assisi - Played in lots of different roles in the centre of the park, has done well but has maybe not settled in one spot Ashraf Ali Mondal - Hard working centre half who played well enough for us 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashton321 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Season 2 - Lonestar Kashmir FC Competitions - Once again the season started with Durand Cup and once again we were not good enough. We got one draw and two losses and if I am honest we should be doing much better than that really. It was tough in the league as there seemed to be a few more teams fighting at the bottom and in general the league was tighter as a whole. We managed to get a few more points than last year and managed to finish a spot above we did last year so I suppose all in all its a success. Finances - Its getting really bad now Finances - Its just the one player who leaves on loan Intake - Its ok but we need some players coming through that could help now Stars Lalliansanga - The main striker we have at the club, he has not been amazing but does a decent enough job for us. Ashok Singh - Keeper is maybe our weakest spot, he did well enough but we need some more quality here quickly Nikhil Pal - A good left winger who is up and down a lot. He needs to be a little more consistent and then he could be good 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashton321 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Season 3 - Lonestar Kashmir FC Competitions - We began in the Durand Cup and we actually got four points this year but it was not enough to see us into the next round. I was hopeful though going into the season as I felt we had a good shout at being mid table. I neednt of had been concerned about it as we were awful. I tried three or four different formations and in the end had almost given up by just going back to a normal 442, it did just enough for us as we managed to stay up. Finances - Awful, Transfers - Few boys going out on loan to get some game time and to hopefully improve Intake - Good for the future but nothing that will help today Stars Lalliansanga - Not as good as last season but still a decent return Ashok Singh - Tried to get the youngster play more games but he still managed to keep the number one spot most of the year Leewan Castanha - A bright spot at the back for us, did reasonably well in a poor year 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

libbyshuss Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Belgium 2036/37 (season 16) Davision 1A Season Summary More of the same really. We're in the top group but just can't quite break through, with Club Brugge dominant at the minute. we did really well to finish 5th and enter the European Play-off group top. We were terrible in the play-offs, losing 3, drawing 2 and only winning 1, losing top spot to Sint at the end. They lost in the play-off final to Anderlecht, meaning that Anderlecht and us both qualified for the Europa League next season. I'm not even going to pretend I understand how the Belgian leagues work with European qualification! The European Conference league was fun. We went all thr way to the semi final again and lost to the eventual winners by a single goal again, Spurs this time. Players Hugo Adam 34C main break through star this season, He looks good!

ashton321 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Season 4 - Lonestar Kashmir FC Competitions - Again we start with the Durand Cup and once again we did ok, a win a draw and a loss was not enough to see us into the next round but gave us some encouraging signs going into the new season. The season was an absolute grind as we were not good enough for large parts of the season and only a pair of wins over Goa and the odd result being picked up elsewhere was enough to see us up for another season. We really need to start moving up as this is not good enough Finances - We took a million pound loan out to help paying back 4k a month and its not touched the sides, Transfers - Usual lot leaving on loan Intake - Decent this year especially Kuldip Singh Bisht who becomes the best player at the club Stars Mohamed Sarif Khan - A decent defender who did ok for us this year Kulpdip Khatri - The best youngster who has came in so far, if he can add some goals he could be good Leewan Castanha - A bright spot at the back for us, did reasonably well in a poor year 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winski Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 FC Viktoria 1889 Berlin End of season 2029/2030 (season 9) League Table | Competition overview | Finances | Facilities | Affiliates | Transfers | Youth intake | Club Overview | Manager Profile My best season so far!! We finished 4th, very close to 2nd place. So we qualified for the Champions League !!! It was really close, for quite some time we were 2nd in the league. But Bayern won 2-1 against us, just 2 matches before the end of the season. But I am very happy about this season. I decided to put in some new faces: Goalkeeper Guido Riedeberger 26o, Libero Seydi Palut 28e and Shadow Striker Christoph Lensch 28b. And they did very, very well. Best player this season was Alexander Ullrich 26k. He scored 21 Bundesliga goals, together with 10 assists. So yeah, I'm very happy with his contribution to the team. Best players of the squad, together with Ullrich 26k, are Salih Topuz 26a and Onur Usta 24a. I decided to sell Falcão, our hero from the first seasons. He just wasn't good enough anymore, so I sold him to Dutch club Roda JC. The last real player of the squad, goalkeeper Melvin Williams, isn't playing anymore and is now 3rd choice. I put him on the transfer list, so next summer will probably the first summer without real players. And that after 10 years! Next season will be our very first in the Champions League. I just hope we won't lose all of our games. Youth intake We had a very good intake! I really like Christian Hoffman 30a, he'll be retrained as a shadow striker or maybe a mezzala. But he is a future first team player, without a doubt. The same can be said about Radosław Kościelniak 30b and Daniel Howard 30d: very nice talents, who will be in our first team rather sooner than later. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking maybe my wings are problem as there are young players without quality nothing changed more. I never had striker exept Kaczorowski 06e who left soo you know was trying move wingers to do their job. At them moment I have season brake so Im trying new tactic in friendlies without wingers at all butt that is not my tactic I just use premade from forum as I'm bad at this and dont want to lose ekstraklasa from eyes but probably will be relegated anyway.

ashton321 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Season 5 - Lonestar Kashmir FC Competitions - We had our best performance in the Durand Cup with two wins and a defeat. We very nearly went through and it was a superb start to our year. I changed tactics towards the end of last year to a 4132 which made us a little more solid, I continued with this into the new season. We may have finished 10th again with only 16 points which is our 2nd worse but we really played much better and never got battered. I was much happier and feel much more confident about going forward. Finances - We got an internal take over but we are still not great Transfers - Loans and trimming the squad a little Intake - Decent intake but nothing that helps now Stars Melroy Mishra - Finally took the first team keeper spot and made it his own and did not do too badly either Kulpdip Singh Bisht - Amazing player best at the team, he has dont well for us Hendry Antonay - I like him he does a very good job fir us 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkouv Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Xerez – Season 13 (2033/34) La Liga 2 Again, I was hoping for a bright start to the season and again, we started in relegation form, losing to newly promoted sides in our first two home games, and continuing in this spirit. But then, as usual, our form picked up, and we started playing some of our best football so far in this division, eventually climbing into third, just outside the automatic promotion places. A few injuries in the spring meant we couldn’t quite keep it up, but we managed to finish 4th, qualifying for the playoffs with ease. In the playoff semi we faced Mallorca, and two very good performances earned us a deserved 1-0 aggregate win. Girona upset Cadiz in the other semi, so I was feeling confident going into the final against them, especially as we beat them twice in league and cup this season. Of course, FM gods struck again and we fell apart in the away leg, conceding a stupid penalty and then a free kick to lose 3-1. We tried to break them down in the home leg but couldn’t, so it finished 0-0 with Girona´s keeper getting man of the match and us getting another season in the second division. Players: Ricardo Masero 10c is still key, knocking in 27 goals, and Alonso 10a continues to impress at the back. I had to sell or release quite a few older players to keep the wage bill down, and was very happy with the emergence of Juan Jose Nunez 12c, who stepped into the first team in January and looks a real talent. With these expensive Spanish youth contracts I’m constantly pushing the wage bill above the limit, so I might have to sell a few players this summer, but I’m hoping to keep hold of Masero for another season. Youth intake [preview]: Looking strong again, but I’m kind-of disappointed I didn’t get the promised star goalkeeper. I haven’t had a single talented keeper come through in either the Xerez or the Durango save, hope this changes soon. In other news, I did get a keeper prospect poached by Sevilla, and my hoyd poached by Elche. To make things worse, I can’t afford to hire a new hoyd due to wage budget issues, so I’m not quite sure where to go from here. Facilities: No money to spare, so no more improvements, but we´re at a good level. EDIT: the training facilities just got downgraded, oh well... EDIT 2: now got taken over, and the new board put a bit of money into the club and agreed to re-upgrade the training facilities, it's all happening here! Transfers: sold a couple of club legends in Sebas 01f and Grigorio Marin 03a to free up some wages, this pair have notched up 680 appearances, 220 goals and 110 assists between them, so a touch of nostalgia is definitely due.

ashton321 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) Season 6 - Lonestar Kashmir FC Competitions - The Durand Cup was not as good as I would have liked as we had an easier group but could still only manage 4 points. This was not enough to go into the next round. In the Cup we only won 2 of our first 9 games but then things started to change and we started to collect wins like they were going out of fashion, we had an unreal end to the year which shot us up to 2nd in the League, we had an outside chance of the title but in all honesty it was not going to happen but what a finish. This put us into the Federation Cup for the first time. Two wins put us into the final and in a close game we just lost out in extra time. Finances - Another loan but really not good Transfers - Loans out to give them some more game time Intake - Not a bad intake for us with a couple of players who can help Stars Melroy Mishra - Had an even better season than last year Rahul Negi - Few goals for our new striker Harjinder Singh - Second striker who has done really well in his role Edited October 1, 2021 by ashton321 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XaW Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Ok, I've been away from the challenge for a bit, but thought I'd do a final save before FM22 comes along. And one thing i've been doing lately is experiment a bit more with the editor, and I've made a lower league file for Norway that allows to start in the 5th tier without having to holiday 2 seasons. I've also decided to make the file again for FM22! So I'm giving the challenge a go with this addition, so I've holidayed for a year and are now taking over a team promoted into the 5th tier. The team I took over is a team that actually might be familiar to a few veterans here. They were one of the teams a while back that gave foreign youth players, but alas no more. Oslo City is the team I've taken over, but I doubt they will continue to produce a majority African newgens as they did many years ago. So we are starting out in the 4. divisjon Oslo 2, and we hope to progress fast up the leagues! The main problem is that I don't have any goalkeepers, but the Norwegian teams usually have the youth intake before the season start, so I really hope for one there! The club plays at Furuset Kunstgress, a small field with a capacity of 500 (no seats). It's owned by Furuset a lower tier club. The facilities are quite poor here, but we shall manage as best we can. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

XaW Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Oslo City FC - Season 2021 (Season 1) Review - 4. Divisjon Oslo 2 Table | Squad | Transfers | Finances So we survived, and that was they key. We did struggle for a while, but luckily Sagene had a horrid season picking up only 3 points total, so we were never in danger of relegation. The team I took over were very varied, and some good players, but also a lot of poor ones. Luckily, we got in a goalkeeper in the intake before the season started, but he is not very good. Still, the first season is always about survival, and this is nothing different. I'm going to race through the seasons to get as much done as possible before FM22, so expect a far few updates in the coming days. In Norgesmesterskapet we beat Hasle-Løren and Kopervik before we lost to Gamle Oslo in the 1st round. Youth Lots of potential, but not much talent. Mikkel Malme 21h is just about decent for our level. Some big gaps in his game, but overall good enough for us currently.

ashton321 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Season 1 - Volsungur FC Competitions - we started off in one of the cups that put us up against a couple First Division teams that would not be easy to overcome. In the end I was right as we lost every game and had no chance of going through into the next round. In the cup we managed to overcome a couple of non league sides but eventually lost to the eventual winners. In the league we were always going to be around the bottom of the league and with only 13 players available at the start of the season I did not have many options. We managed to go on a decent run part way through the year that gave us just enough to stay up, but only just Finances - Not ideal Transfers - Two players left meaning our small squad struggles even more Intake - A decent intake with players who can help add some depth to the squad Stars Porsteinn Palmason - Always nice to start with a decent keeper and we have one here Ingolfur Fridriksson - Played very well at the back and bossed it for us Adalsteinn Johann Fridriksson - Played all over the place this year and did a decent job no matter where he was 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
libbyshuss Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Belgium 2037/38 (season 17) Division 1A Season Summary Bit of a regression really, we've been treading water for years now. League - I could tell it was gonna be one of those seasons three games in, where we played poorly and lost twice. We then kept losing games by the odd game that we should really win, with mre than 2 xG than ur opponents, or completely wilting agsinst one of the big boys. We also put together a few good runs but never good enough to challenge the top 4. In the end we were 6th, which is about par for the past few seasons. we quailified for the Euro play-offs and actually did really well, just not quite well enough. But at least we know our place now - still the best of the rest Europa League - we had a difficut group in with Spurs, Getafe and Cluj. We beat Cluj twice, played well against Getafe and Spurs but were unlucky. So we finished 3rd and headed into the Euro conference first round, where we lost both legs to Lazio. So Europe wasn't great either - we're still as far from league/european success as we were 5 or 6 seasons ago Players In the end they did ok. But while the majority are good Division 1A players, they're just not quite good enough yet. We'll see..... Marouene Abbas 30D - Our only remaining ex-wonderkid! he's amazing, first choice keeper for Belgium with 44 caps to his name now. He's stopping me developing other keepers in the squad as he's just too good! Paterne Kalenga 30H - The 2030 intake really was a golden generation. Kalenga plays as an inverted winger which gets him right in areas where he can cause havoc. He's been remarkably consistent - 20 goals, 15 assists this season, 15 and 12 the season before, 16 and 16 the one before that. Capped by Belgium but only once, despite his performances this season Mirco Coco 29C - Hoisted by his pertard! I was really disappointed by him this season, ad he still got 27 goals! but last season he got 42 so....... I have two 4 star prospects in the reserves as well, is Coco good enough to see them off? Youth Really poor preview for the third year in a row. Those amazing intakes of 2029 and 2030 seem such a long way away at the moment In the end getting two 4 star prospects is pretty good to be honest! Finances and Improvements Despite European football we are still losing a lot of money. The Leemans 30A money has run out and we might have to cash in on another star soon. Real Madrid and Barcelona are apparently planning 100m+ bids for Leemans 30A as well...... Career 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashton321 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Season 2 - Volsungur FC Competitions - in the League Cup we did ok we managed to get a draw and a win over teams in the league above us which was good but it still only put us in 4th so far off qualification. In the Cup we beat a team from our league then get knocked out by a non league side which was a real shame. In the League the main aim was to become much more difficult to beat and we managed that by getting 13 draws in 22 games. We did win a few as well and that was enough to secure our survival for another year. I honestly do not think we are too far from success in this league as we are slowly getting better and better. Finances - Not getting any better really Transfers - Nothing happening Intake - A very good intake with Vilhjalmur Atlason and Steinar Logi Asbjornsson going straight into the first team to help. Stars Porsteinn Palmason - Another fantastic season from a superb keeper Ingolfur Fridriksson -Another super season from the main defender we have Samuel Mar Brigsson - Something we did not have last year a goalscorer, a good young player 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XaW Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Oslo City FC - Season 2022 (Season 2) Review - 4. Divisjon Oslo 2 Table | Squad | Transfers | Finances A much improved season on the first one and we were part of the upper half of the table the entire season rather than the bottom. Finishing 9 points behind the promotion spots are not bad and something we can work with. In Norgesmesterskapet we lost to Trosvik in the Preliminary round. Youth 5 star potential all over as usual, but at least a few players with some ability this time. Piotr Wira 22l is a very good attacker even if he lacks a bit of speed.

ashton321 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Season 3 - Volsungur FC Competitions - to start off with the League Cup and as usual we went out early doors with barley a whimper. In the Cup we beat a non league side and then lost to FH who have just amazingly been relegated to our league. In the League we got 4 points in the first two and that really set out stall our for the season. We ended up over the two seasons going on a 22 game unbeaten run and only lost this to a side at the bottom end of the table. In the end we beat 3rd place on the last day of the season to take the title. Finances - Not getting any better really but not getting drastically worse Transfers - Tried to ship out a couple of players who I dont want and also got a couple of younger lads some game time Intake - Another decent intake where we get players who could be decent and add some quality. Stars Porsteinn Palmason - Club captain and turning into a legend for us Haukur Magnusson -Really stepped up this year and took the defensive role and made it his own Samuel Mar Brigsson - Another great season from the main goalscorer I was hoping for a few more goals but he did well 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels quite stable and the only issue I have is the fact that teams sometimes swap regional divisions to keep the sub divisions at the right numbers. In real life that number switches around a lot due to teams not registering for a season, teams refusing promotion, failing rules, etc. But the teams who are moved seems to be mostly to a neighbouring region. And if you aren't closely familiar with Norwegian geography it shouldn't bother you that much. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaSmith Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) Season 10 - 2030/31 - Sky Bet League One League Table - Fixtures 1/Fixtures 2/Fixtures 3 - Squad 1/Squad 2 - Best XI - Transfers 1/Transfers 2 League - This season was a bit of a weird one. Throughout, I never felt comfortable and was convinced I was doing worse than the previous year, yet was somehow threatening to finish mid table, but always feeling like relegation was just a poor run away. So I was kinda shocked to see I'd actually finished higher than last season, but not only that, I actually ended up with a near identical record to last season, the only difference being that I scored and conceded 3 more goals. I think my concern from this season came from the fact that of my 17 wins, 13 of them came in blocks of 3 or 4 wins at a time, followed by long barren periods, which made the season feel very stop-start and like one of those barren periods may be the form that saw me slip below the dotted line. In retrospect, it was a good season and I consolidated myself well and I am now feeling quite confident in this squad now, which is making me look forward to next year. Cups - Knocked out in the same rounds as last season in the EFL Cup and Trophy, whilst going one round further in the FA Cup, and coincidentally, I got knocked out by the same scoreline (4-1) in each competition. To be honest, I didn't really focus on the cups this season, by the time I got to the meat of the cup games, we were in some rough form, so I was more interested in ensuring my best players were rested for the league. A crowd drawing game against Arsenal was good to get, it was just a shame it wasn't away. Finances - Forgot to take a screenshot, but we're in a good position. A new owner has bought the club and injected a bit of cash, but he's just a local businessman, so not a blowing money on facilities injection. Installments for Farley, Taylor and Riddell also helped bolster the balance, and we're looking fairly healthy. I may need to sell some players again fairly soon, but we can definitely get by on our own for a while, but not quite enough to reinvest in facilities after last season's balance allowed me to improve our youth recruitment. Youth Intake Paul Akinade [31A] - Jonathan Streete [31B] - Eddie McArthur [31C] - Steve Flynn-Wright [31D] - Reiss Attwood [31E] A good intake that plugs a few gaps in my squad, but there's no-one that stands out as being able to step up to the first team immediately, perhaps Flynn-Wright as I am moving to a 433 which he fits into quite well. I also had my first international! Glenn Dunn [28E] got a call up and a cap for Northern Ireland after an impressive season in which he managed to take the number 1 shirt and really progressed well. On the same day, former player Mustapha Njoku [23A] also got his first cap for Nigeria, so a good day for the academy. Talking of former players, I'm starting to worry that Sofokleous may never get a big move as West Ham finished in 8th, just snatching European football, putting him in a position where he may be comfortable enough at West Ham to not force a move to a team outside the biggest teams in Europe that could afford his release clause whilst not quite being good enough for one of the big fish to spend £100m+ on him. Hopefully West Ham's wheels fall off soon and he get's unhappy. Edited October 3, 2021 by VillaSmith 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
