Hootieleece Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 So many TI's...for a 4-4-2! I must say that I start out with a lot of TI's but prune them back as much as possible and try to use roles and PI's to get the effects I want. I am also a big fan of "Personalized" Roles and PI's.

B.W.G Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 Cavalry FC - Canadian Premier League - Pre-Season - 2025 General - Vision - Facilities - Finances Season Preview - Expectations Transfers - Released - Youth Not a lot of action in the window,three players left on loan while Johnson joined Western Sydney Wanderers for a lot more then I could offer and Giantsopoulous had his head turned by Seattle and I had to sell him,at least I got more money than what he was values at,Six players joined on a free even though I was happy with the first five as they are for the first team,Lagunes was on my shortlist has a potential choice for a keeper,I sold Giantsopoulous to Seattle Sounders then a day later the then number 2 keeper got a long term injury hence why I signed Lagunes to be my second choice keeper behind McGill. Pre-Season Fixtures Decided to keep things local when it came to friendlies as I wanted to get the teams fitness levels up in time for the new season,we were the only club to have more than two friendlies in pre-season so I think we should have the advantage when it comes to match sharpness as I want to get off to as best start as possible, The Team Miguel Valongo Mohamed Burger Ali Abdulla Saeed Alistair Johnston Thomas McGill Manager's Thoughts That has to be the longest pre-season I have ever gone through as that lasted over five months and I was done with everything regarding transfers in January and only had to add one more due to a problematic situation that arisen during pre-season but has now been solved.I think the team is actually better than last season as the players I had registered didn't make sense as some positions were over stacked while others didn't have enough so I think I have a decent squad of 23 although I would prefer to have one less MC and one more ST,I didn't really find another player I fancied to be fourth choice striker as the ones that looked decent wanted regular starter status and the ones in the youth team are not quite up to scratch,I have marked two out for that role next year if they carry on with their development. For this season,the board want me to win the Canadian Premier League so no pressure there while they want us to be competitive in the Canadian Championships,I want us to at least get past the first tie in the Canadian Championshsips as it could be the perfect test to see how we do against teams playing in a bigger league than the one we are in.We will also be playing in the CONCACAF League which will start in August,I thought this competition I had to win to reach the Champions League but it turns out all I have to do is reach the final of the CONCACAF League to get into the Champions League.There is also the harder route of winning the Canadian Championship which would grant us entrance into the Champions League as well.Here's to a successful season....hopefully! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.W.G Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 April 2025 Fixture League Table Manager's Thoughts We got off to a winning start against Atletico Ottawa although we were not our best but three points is three points at the end of the day.By that I mean Ottawa scored from both of their shots on target while we had eighteen shots and eight of those were on target.It's still very early into the season so I know we will improve. We play five times in May and we will be facing Pacific FC,Forge FC,Valour FC,HFX Wanderers FC and York 9.My only aim is to be either at the top or real close to the top spot as we have a lot of pressure on us from the board,I am pretty confident we can do it but we need to put in better performances to ensure we are where I want us to be.

B.W.G Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 May 2025 Fixtures League Table Manager's Thoughts It looks like the Canadian Premier League can't handle a 4-4-2 formation as we dominated every single match in what I can only describe as a perfect month for the team,We already have an eight point lead at the top which at this stage is a brilliant achievement as it is fourteen games per split.The defence has been great and the attack has been outstanding so I really have nothing to moan about. June is giving me horrible flashbacks to my days in the MLS as we are playing ten times during the month,eight in the league and two in the Canadian Championships.In the league we will be facing FC Edmonton (twice),Atletico Ottawa,Forge FC,Pacific FC,Valour FC,York9 FC and HFX Wanderers FC,my aim is simple and that is to finish top of the table although I will have to rotate the players due to the amount of games we are playing but I am confident we will be able to do so.In the Canadian Championship we are facing Amateur side Sigma FC,they are the weakest team in the competition so we should be able to get through but I can't afford to be complacent about it as I do want to get further so I can test myself against the MLS Canadian teams.

Your finishing off the local opposition....when will you be ready for CONCACAF? I'm going for the perfect half in the Spring Season just got five more games to win! CONCACAF is a bit difficult to judge,if we qualify for the Champions League via the CONCACAF League this year then I can use 2026 as a test to see what I need to improve then 2027 onwards to build a team to challenge for it.The Canadian Championship could also be a good way to judge against MLS sides as we're not expected to win it so there isn't any pressure. Although having money to improve the youth side of things would be massive as that can increase the CA they could come in at as well as the potential. 13 hours ago, SRL88 said: Easy going in the league!

B.W.G Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 June 2025 Fixtures League Table Manager's Thoughts Well that was a fun ride,we won seven out of eight leagues during the month as HFX Wanderers became the only team to stop us scoring and take points off us this half of the season.I had no complaints about the defence despite the goals conceded as we just decided to outscore the opposition.We had a great 11-2 aggregate win over Sigma Fc in the Canadian Championship and this means we move into the last eight. We currently have seven games to play,five in the league and two in the Candian Championship.The league sees us begin the Fall Season with games against Atletico Ottawa,Forge FC,Valour FC,Pacific FC and HFX Wanderers,I would love us to go on a similar blitzing of the league like we did in the Spring Season so I want to be top of the league come the end of the month.The big test of the month comes in the Canadian Championship as we face MLS side Montreal Impact,I am not expected to win this so it will be interesting to see how we do with no pressure being on us.

B.W.G Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 July 2025 Fixtures League Table Manager's Thoughts We've made a solid start in the league as we won all five games,we've not been at our best to start the fall season but we've managed to grind the results out which is all that matters to me.The Canadian Championship saw us produce a shock as we knocked out Montreal Impact 5-1 on aggregate,I did mention in a previous post that we have been helped by international call ups as Montreal were missing half of their normal team.We finished the month off with a 4-0 win against Municipal in the CONCACAF League,this is a brilliant start as I want to try and get to the final as that is qualification for next seasons Champions League. Just the three games so far in August,one in the CONCACAF League and two in the Canadian Championship as the Canadian Premier League is on a month break.In the CONCACAF League we will be facing Municipal in the Preliminary Round second leg,we lead 4-0 and I want a professional performance to ensure we get through,if we win then we will face Verdes FC or GPS Puerto RIco in the first round which is also in August.The Canadian Championship will see us play Vancouver Whitecaps in the semi-final,it is a two legged affair so we we'll need to be at our best for the entire tie if we are to progress but there is no pressure on us to succeed as we are the under dog in the tie.

B.W.G Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 August 2025 Fixtures Manager's Thoughts What a month that was as we made progress in both cups.The biggest of these was the 6-4 aggregate victory over Vancouver Whitecaps as that is a massive shock as it was completely unexpected and we are now will be going into our biggest tie in to date.As for the CONCACAF League,we finished off Municipal with a 6-2 victory on the night to give us a 10-2 aggregate victory,we then beat GPS Puerto Rico 7-1 on aggregate to move onto the quarter finals. September will bring us seven games,four in the league,one in the CONCACAF League and two in the Canadian Championship.In the league we will be facing FC Edmonton,Atletico Ottawa,Pacific FC and York9 FC,my only aim is to keep our form going and stay at the top of the league.In the CONCACAF League we will be facinf Honduran side Marathon,this will be a difficult match as we are away from home and they are from a stronger nation,if we can at least get a draw then we stand a chance going into the home game.The biggest matches of the month come in the Canadian Championship final against Toronto,this will be the toughest match to date as they are the biggest Canadian team,they will be heavy favourites for the game but we will give it our all. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.W.G Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) Youth Intake 2025 John Mansaray Graham Haslam Jason Sinclair Jay Flinders Manager's Thoughts First up is my response to the size of the intake,this has to be the biggest intake I have had in years (both in real life and FM years!) as we had 20 players come through,the nine above are the ones I will be signing as they are the best of the bunch. We've had four decent players who could be in and around the first team as they have good potential with the two stand outs being Haslam and Mansaray who could easily become starters in the first team.Although Mansaray coming through makes me both want to laugh and cry at the same time,the laughing comes from the fact that he was originally at FC Edmonton and they are our Al-Classico rivals but at the same time this makes me want to cry as the best player coming through this year has better potential than anyone who was already at the club...what does that say about my youth setup!

B.W.G Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 September 2025 Fixtures League Table Manager's Thoughts Well the big news of the month was that we lifted the Canadian Championship with a 5-3 aggregate win and I can say honestly that Toronto should of won but their finishing sucks,the first leg saw us score twice from five shots!The CONCACAF League saw us beat Marathon 4-2 in the home leg,I did not like this game as they were an absolute nightmare to deal with and we will need to be careful in the second leg.As for the league it was a case of same old same old as we on every game which keeps us at the top with a 100% win rate,we even put on an amazing show for the people of Calgary as we beat local rivals FC Edmonto 6-3! Six games in October at this moment in time but this could increase.In the league we will be finishing the league stage off with games against Forge FC,Valour FC,HFX Wanderers,FC Edmonton and York9 FC,we only need five points to top the league so I am confident we can do that.In the CONCACAF League we have the second leg against Marathon,we have a 4-2 lead but that means nothing as Marathon seem to be a strong team and they have home advantage so I need to treat this game seriously.If we do win this match then we will face Saprissa in the semi-finals and that is the worst possible draw either ourselves or Marathon could of got!

B.W.G Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 October 2025 Fixtures League Table Manager's Thoughts We won three out of five as we picked up ten points as we finished top of the Fall Season table but out of all the teams to take my unbeaten streak it just had to be FC Edmonton didn't it,then we went and drew against the team at the bottom.At least we hold a small 2-0 advantage over HFX Wanderers going into the second leg of the final.On the CONCACAF League front,the 0-0 draw against Marathon saw us go through courtesy of our first leg win but this match was a dull affair,the semi-final saw us upset the biggest team in Costa Rica with a 4-0 aggregate victory. Just the three games in November as we play once in the league and twice in the CONCACAF League.We kick things off against HFX Wanderers in the Canadian Premier League final,we have a 2-0 lead but I need a professional performance from the team to ensure we don't mess it up as the board expect us to win it.In the CONCACAF League final,we will be facing off against Jamaican side Portmore in a two legged affair.I cannot afford to underestimate them as they knocked out both Alajuelense and Herediano (Costa Rica's 2nd and 3rd biggest teams) in their run to the final but the main thing is we have qualified for next season Champions League so I am happy with that outcome.

B.W.G Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 November 2025 Fixtures Manager's Thoughts Well that wasn't our best month when it came to the defence!We drew 2-2 with HFX Wanderers which gave us a 4-2 aggregate win to clinch our second Canadian Premier League.We face Portmore Utd in the final of the CONCACAF League and boy did it give flashbacks to the Marathon tie earlier in the season,Portmore would not leave us alone in either game and the fact is that we were 2-0 down in the first leg so to win that 4-2 was amazing but I don't want to see Portmore Utd for a very long time after these two games,even if I did win the CONCACAF League!

B.W.G Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 Cavalry FC - Canadian Premier League - End of Season - 2025 General - Vision - Facilities Transfers - Released - Youth Four players out on loan who I will be looking to sell in the future as they are not in my plans for the future.Daniel Johnson left on a free to join Western Sydney Wanderers,I would of preferred to keep him but there is no way I would have been able to keep him due to the salary cap.Giantsopoulos was sold for £25.5k which was more than his market value of £16k so there isn't many complaints off me for that sale.We bought in seven players for nothing as I am looking to bring in quality players who are very good for this level but also have the potential to be sold in the future as I feel this is the only way of upgrading the facilities above the 3.5* level. Fixtures 1 - Fixtures 2 - Fixtures 3 Competitions Canadian Premier League - Winners Spring Table - Fall Table We dominated the domestic league as we comfortably won both the Spring and Fall tables before beat HFX Wanderers in a tight affair overall with a 4-2 aggregate victory.HFX Wanderers actually finished 3rd in both tables and were in the final due to amassing more points than the other teams as the two 2nd place teams did worse in their other half. CONCACAF League - Winners This tournament was a surprising one just for who we faced in the final of the competition.We beat Municipal (10-2 on aggregate),GPS Puerto Rico (7-1 on aggregate),Marathon (4-2 on aggreate) and Saprissa (4-0 on aggregate) to reach the final.As for the final itself,we came out the winners with a 6-4 aggregate but this tie overall was not good for my nerves as Portmore were relentless in both games,I do not want to face them again anytime soon! Amway Canadian Championship - Winners I really feel like we didn't deserve to win this as there was a lot of luck involved into winning this competition.We easily beat Sigma 11-2 on aggregate in the preliminary round and that is the only round where luck wasn't involved.In the quarter finals we face Montreal who were missing half of their team due to Gold Cup participation and we won 5-1 on aggregate,this probably would have been a different story if they had all their players.We beat Vancouver Whitecaps 6-4 on aggregate in the semi-final.they were the better team both times but failed to take their chances.The final against Toronto was more of the same as we scored five times from twenty shots over two games while Toronto score three from twenty nine shots,if it wasn't for our goal scoring abilities then I don't think we would have stood a chance as Toronto messed up massively in front of goal. Players,Stats and Awards Overall Best XI Stats - Awards The Team Jordan Perruzza Martin Gadia Matt Bartley Thomas Meilleur-Giguere Mohamed Burger Manager's Thoughts What a season that was as we won all the competitions we entered in which means we will be playing in the 2026 edition of the CONCACAF Champions League,there were some competitions I feel we didn't deserve to win but somehow did like the Canadian Championship.Overall I am happy with where we are but there isn't a lot that I can improve on due to the limitations of the wage budget,if it was like the MLS where the wage cap went up then it wouldn't be as much as a problem but it hasn't and it will cause a problem in the near future.The problem being that Jordan Perruzza wants a new contract and it is a lot more then I want to pay as he wants £1,400 p.w which is more than a quarter of what the salary cap it is.The only way I can get around that is paying it but not registering him for the Canadian Premier League and only playing him in the cup competitions.I actually have a £22k p.w wage budget so bringing in players just for cup competitions is a serious option. With 2026 coming up,I am actually left with a lot of issues as I really need to strengthen MC,AMC,DR and AML positions.I may have to look on moving some first team players and bringing in players who have as good CA but higher PA.They maybe the positions to use to build a team for cup competitions but I will need to try and get them on a cup game status for their contracts.Peruzza is an issue what needs sorting,as good as he is I feel like Burger could easily replace him in the long term but if I am getting rid of him then he needs to be gone from the continent so I don't deal with him in competitions as he is amazingly good at this level.Foreign player limits isn't really an issue so that is a plus for us and we should have a couple of more slots to spare in the near future,also another plus is the facilities for both training and youth are going up and will reach 3* in April next year so that will play a massive part in the futre. With so much happening and things to solve,thank god I signed a new contract till 2027! Career Stats 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-Season Fixtures Normally this would be a cause for concern going into the new season but I screwed up the first three fixtures by not playing the correct formation so I am actually encouraged we did so well with the wrong formation.The one game we played the right formation was against Toronto and we won.I think we could cause some upsets against the MLS sides in the Champions League in the future. The Team Key Players Wesley Dieguinho Jordan Perruzza Miguel Valongo Martin Gadia Manager's Thoughts I am actually proud of myself as I have finally mastered the art of negotiating transfers,to stay under the wage cap I've set up an average wage then offered them higher appearances fees and bonuses and they have accepted for the most part (the other two I was after wanted too much!).This has also given me some love for Brazil's Serie C as there some real talent down in that division who are willing to join for a small pay rise,an example of this was Wesley who was on £150 p.w at his old club.I am really happy with the team at the minute and I think we can make the quarter finals of the Champions League thanks to a more favourable draw. As for this season,we should dominate domestically like we did last season but I think we could go unbeaten due to the quality of our team being much higher than the others,the media dream XI has eight of our players,two from Forge FC and one from HFX Wanderers (this player is on loan from a Chinese club!).If we don't win the league with the team I have then I will more than likely be sacked as it is required that I win the league.We have be competitive expectations for the Canadian Championship and Champions League,we should be able to progress in both due to favourable draws.Also our facilties will finish upgrading in July which I think is just after the intake preview so that is a bit of a negative but at least they will be ready for the 2027 intake!Time to see if I can make an impact on the main continental stage.

B.W.G Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) @abulezz Sorry this is the best I could scout Robles without wasting my scouting budget. Edited November 30, 2020 by B.W.G 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.W.G Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 February 2026 Champions League 1st Round No major shocks to speak of with the biggest shock being Pumas de la UNAM knocking out former winners Atlanta Utd.New York City struggled against Honduran opposition while Portmore Utd put in a valiant effort against CF Pachuca but were no match for them in the end. The quarter final draw which is to be played in March looks like this. I actually think I regret being on this side of the draw.Deportivo Guadalajara have this monster of a wonderkid who is regarded as the 6th best Mexican player in the game already.I hope he gets injured before the tie or we might have to go in hard on him to injure him.If I was to rate the teams then I'd say Deportivo Guadalajara would be 3rd behind Seattle Sounders (2nd) and Cruz Azul (1st).We'd probably be between 6th-8th with CF Pachuca and Sporting Kansas City. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.W.G Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 First leg against Deportivo Guadalajara They couldn't even beat us when we had ten men Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.W.G Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 March 2026 Champions League Quarter-Finals Now that is a shocker,we beat Deportivo 3-2 in the second leg away from home to give us a 4-2 aggregate victory.With winning two ties in the Champions League, surely the Canadian Premier League has to move up the rankings!Also to note the two teams I thought were the strongest only just got through,Seattle Sounders by away goals and Cruz Azul by penalties. The semi-final is in April and the draw looks like this... I am really not expecting anything from this as we are probably the weakest team left in this.I am still expecting the final to be Seattle Sounders vs Cruz Azul.

B.W.G Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 April 2026 Champions League Semi-Final We got battered in the first leg and I've shown the screenshot for the second leg.I really don't think we have anything left in the tank to deal with Cruz Azul in the final.Those two legs will be played on 28/4 and the 5/5.The last time I faced Cruz Azul,I was Atlanta Utd and we lost 5-0 to them!
