OlivierL Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 29 minutes ago, scarp said: Brora Rangers 2032/33 Another pretty good season from our boys in red! Ross Rae definitely turned up, scoring 37 goals in all competitions. Thanks to two last intakes our attacking side looks stacked but I am worried about our defense, with Gamble aging up and no depth on fullbacks it will be another long season. Also missing a proper DM/CM still so moved away from classic diamond. Our finances are not looking great at all and we got another upgrade in academy coaching, not sure if it's the wisest but the latest intakes were fantastic and I hope that we will be able to afford the coaching anyway. Stephen is still a great goalie for us although his ability rating is not the best. Nathan Bell is not progressing as well as I hoped so I wish for another CB next year. We had a first 3,5 CA rated player in intake in Shaun Redfern who's MR (we were lacking decent MRs for years) and he immediately became a starter for us. Hamilton also played few games straight out of the intake and even became our youngest starter & youngest goal scorer. Transfers | Youth in-take Key players: Ross Rae, Jamie Stephen & Kieran Ogg Youth watch: Shaun Redfern, Cameron Hamilton & Ali Ovenstone Redfern not bad !

Bartrcm Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Freamunde - Season 2023-2024 - Third Division Predicted: 18th Final position: 1th!!! What a season. I started the season with the hope of staying up. But from the first game of the season we were battling for 1th position. After game 20 we were the leaders, and we never looked back. We kept increasing our lead, and with 4 games to go we were promoted, and sealed the title one game later. This has to go down as 1 of the most unexpected promotions inf my FM career. Our 102 points at the end of the season meant a new record. We only lost 2 games in 46 games, just incredible. Downside of our succes is that we have to play next season without our 2 best players. Our AMC was sold during the winter when Gumaraes met his release clause of 475k. Also during the winter our incredible ST, signed for Belenenses as he didn't want to sign a new contract. I'm afraid that without these 2 star players it will be near impossible to stay up next season. Games 1 Games 2 Games 3 Cup: Didn't care about the cup, but with some easy draws we got in the 5th round. Boavista was our opponent, and were way to strong for us. We los 5-1 Youth intake; The preview was promessing, but the actual intake was again a disappointment. I signed all players with at least 3*, but I'm afraid that most of them are not good enough. William Pires: DM, but will be re-trained as I don't play with a DM Jean-Marc Scherrer: AML/AMC/ST Transfers: None Finances: This season we gaining some money, but only due to the outgoing transfer of 475k and the investment of the board of 100K. We are still ±500k in red. We definitely need to get in black, as we need to do some upgrades. Our last 2 intakes were not good enough. Goal for next season: again staying up. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeper#1 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 South Shields 2021-22 Season Review Fixtures 1, 2, 3, 4 : Started out really strong and then faded as the season went on before rebounding the playoffs and promoting via the playoffs after beating Gateshead in the final FA Cup: A nice run through the qualifying rounds before losing to League One Northampton which showed the team that they could be beaten FA Trophy: Another good cup run where we were knocked out by a team in a higher division League Table: Brackley Town were the class of the league. Boston United and Kidderminister will be back next season to battle for the title. We promoted from 4th place. Squad: A good squad that ran hot in the beginning. Cool in the winter before heating back up in the spring. Not sure if we are cut out for the National League. Transfers: Only one player sale which forced us to put an aging right back into a starting role. Thankfully, a youngster came in via the youth intake. Youth Intake: Three or four of these players will be in the senior side next season while the remainder will be in the U23 or U18 sides. Moments to Remember Best XI Season Accolades U21 Callup: Youth academy product called up to AZE but it's still a callup Stadium Expansion: Capacity goes up by 1,000 split evenly between seated and standing capacity Key Players Jason Gilchrist: Center forward with a nose for goal. Led the team with 33 goals in all competitions despite missing two months of the season Rob Briggs: Our creative force in the midfield Darius Osei: Gilchrist's strike partner who netted 32 goals along with 10 assists. Two coaching licenses in the bag and working on a third. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braumiller Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Well here is a new one for me...... Trying to tie up my decent players on new deals and I get this on my starting GK! The only way it appears I could get to the point of offering a new deal is if... ...I buy out the percentage that is owned by the agent. This feels awfully like buying a player (well, in this case 80% of a player), so presuming this is a no-go in the challenge?

XaW Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Season 2027 - Eliteserien (tier 1) - 6th season Sorry about the poorly edited image above, but it doesn't show the league table when it goes to playoff, so I just did some excellent mspaint editing. In what was a very tough season, we ended in 14th place, a single point of safety. We weren't directly relegated however, since we entered the playoff against the playoff winner from the 2nd tier. The main problem was that morale was below the floor and we lost the away leg 2-0 and could only draw 3-3 at home. So we suffered relegation and are going back to OBOS-ligaen next season. On a more positive note, we are turning professional! I just wished they had did it before the season, but I won't mind! I have hopes that we can bounce right back up again next season.

scarp Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Brora Rangers - 2034/2035 Another pretty good season for us, this time we lost in play-offs second round. We had to sell our biggest talent Redfern for some pocket money (thanks board), with him I believe we could have been promoted. Another great intake. McCall came out of nowhere and became one of our best players this season and we also finally made the swap on goalie position where Fox replaced Stephen near the end of the season. Nathan Bell did not want to renew the contract with us so he will be let go for free. Board still does not want us to become professional so instead I upgraded some youth setup. I do not want to upgrade facilities before we turn professional. Hopefully I will not regret the latest updates and the costs won't be too much.

Bubbles_DK Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) Season 2 - 2022/23 Second season was as surprising (maybe even more) as the first season. We introduced a couple of youngsters to the starting 11 and they delievered some promising performances. Actually we beat our total points from last seaso in the league with 1 point at fouth place again. The first half of the season we even challenged for promotion, but a poor run midseason ruined it. The danish cup ended at the quarter finals to Fc Nordsjælland, who later won the trophy. Unfortunately the match didn't attract many spectators. Again the youth intake was interresting with promise of a "Golden generation". The intake was again good - don't think it's a "Golden generation", but it's good for the level we are at. Andreas Damgaard is the standout this year. He has the potential and personality. Once again we signed the lot,.
