shaunvamos Posted August 8, 2021 Author Share Posted August 8, 2021 December 2067 It's pretty tight between the top 4 in the league, and we barely scraped through to the Conference League knockouts. We drew with Rosenborg, and then Derry flogged Schalke 3-0 away, but we still went through. Not the greatest of intake previews for my first season.

shaunvamos Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 January 2068 So apparently we're good enough to beat Vllaznia, but we lose to a team in the relegation playoff places. Makes perfect sense. But at least we're top on goal difference. Transfers (Out) A bit of a clearout, but none of these guys were getting game time anyway.

shaunvamos Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 February 2068 As soon as we were knocked out of the cup, we rediscovered our form. It's still pretty tight at the top, but if we win our game in hand we can put some small distance between us and Vllaznia. After a great performance against Rapid Wien in the Conference League, we get a favourable draw in 2067 Carabao Cup champions Shrewsbury, currently dead last in the Premier League. It's ours to lose. Transfers (Out) Another guy not in our match squad leaves, and for a decent fee too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 2068 Youth Intake Not too bad really, we were told that it was going to be terrible and it's not. We have 5 players we can sign based on PA, and plenty of other guys with positive personalities that are going to be brought in as well. I don't think I've ever had someone as short as 4'11" either!

shaunvamos Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 March 2068 It's still incredibly tight between the top 3. These next 7 games are must win. Meanwhile in Europe, we got past Shrewsbury with a little more difficulty than I thought, but we're through to play Hajduk Split in the last 8, another winnable tie in my opinion.

shaunvamos Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 April 2068 We're really hitting our form at the right time, as Vllaznia appear to have dropped out of the race, and there's a gap between us and Skenderbreu. Turning to Europe, we beat Hajduk comfortably and now we come face to face with my previous club Tuzla City for a place in the final, one season after I left. We have the edge over them going into the home leg, and winning that will equal an achievement I've only done once in this save: a European final in my debut season.

shaunvamos Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 Somehow, we won the Conference League! Despite the lack of possession, our xG was 1.88 to their 0.59, so we probably deserved it. We also ran away with the league in the end, and the 4-0 thrashing of Skenderbreu was satisfying. This is easily the most successful start I've had to a job in this save! Best XI Alessio Gavoci - Leonard Ymeraj - Andrej Krizmanic You'll notice the lack of stars in some positions. Looks like they don't mean much!

shaunvamos Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 Preseason 2068 A loooong preseason, but a near flawless one. We've qualified for the Champions League groups, and won the Albanian Super Cup over our biggest rivals to gain the early psychological edge. We've definitely got one of the hardest draws in the tournament, which is frustrating, but hopefully we can get some points and aim for 3rd. Transfers (In) We were once again busy this preseason recruiting some solid Albanians. We definitely overpaid for Mangano, but at 21 he's young and a current international, and better yet, he's not at Vllaznia anymore. Aside from Kapllani and Cuculi who are backups, the rest will play an active role in the first team, wherever their attributes let them. But at this stage the plan is for Berner to play striker, Krizmanic to resume his role at RWB, Curri at CB, and Mangano & Reinert at CM. Transfers (Out) Just a few guys we didn't really need. Predicted to be pretty short-priced favourites, but Vllaznia look to be our main challenge again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunvamos Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 December 2068 Vllaznia brought us back to earth with a bang, but we're ahead as we go into the new year. We also beat Atalanta away, moving us into 2nd and into the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time! There are some great ties here already. Man City v Barcelona, PSG v Inter, and it's good to see Vilnius and Sarajevo through as well. As for our tie, I like my chances against Dortmund, but it won't be easy. We'll probably get flogged. But the progress is being made. Ouch, another mediocre intake preview. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunvamos Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) February 2069 We have the potential to be 14 points ahead if we win our game in hand. It's looking pretty good. I'm assuming our Champions League will be over in March as well as we only managed a home draw against Dortmund. Transfers (Out) We sell a 20 year old, but he wasn't getting game time and we were offered a great price. We also have a 50% of next sale clause should he turn out to be a star.

shaunvamos Posted August 14, 2021 Author Share Posted August 14, 2021 Preseason 2069 A good preseason, but a few losses there. There's no shame in losing to Cittadella as I found out, they're the current Serie A runners up. What's worrying is the loss to Vllaznia. It was only 1-0, but we were dominated. I hope that's not the story for the rest of the season. I forgot to screenshot the group stage draw, but we're with Liverpool, Lotte and Charleroi. I'm expecting to get at least 3rd, and Liverpool should be untouchable. Two Irish teams are in the CL groups (Wexford and Derry) but that's the only real thing of note. Transfers (In) Only 3 of these guys are in the first team to begin with. We have a pretty strong squad, so filling in the gaps in depth is the priority for now. Transfers (Out) Predicted to be a 2 horse race again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunvamos Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) February 2070 A perfect month, and the lead has stretched out to 16 points. If we win out game in hand, that will probably out us out of reach. In continental football we had a strong win over Nice, and now play St. Mirren, a team we lost to on penalties 3 years ago in a Champions League playoff. I'm pretty optimistic about it.

shaunvamos Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 Preseason 2070 A shorter preseason than what we're used to, but no less successful. We dismantled Fenerbahce to get into the CL groups once more. I like this group a lot. Ajaz are probably the weakest top seed we could get, maybe apart from Cova de Piadade. Dortmund are beatable, but probably not by us, and Schifflange's downfall after I left is likely to continue at my hand. It's pretty cool to see 2 Lithuanian teams in the groups for what I believe is the first time. Transfers (In) All of these guys are backups. I think we've hit a wall in terms of how much we can improve our team. We need to increase our rep to get some of those bigger Albanian players abroad. But I guess it just goes to show how strong this squad has become. Transfers (Out) Who? Once again it's us, Vllaznia and then daylight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
