OlivierL Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) Gibraltar only situation The pool with GIB players is very short . Sometimes a good Spanish or English player that plays 730 days in Gibraltar can get GIB as second nationality. Most of the Spanish lads aren't doing that , realistic. But two Foreign players did : Lee is a Sheff Wed youth product, starting his third season and has GIB as second nationality.. i'm following him. Rosa is playing for Europa FC , his fourth season and he is eligible for Gibraltar. Edited May 7, 2021 by OlivierL 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlivierL Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 Gibraltar that scores is special.. if your hotest prospect scores it is very special On 06/05/2021 at 19:11, OlivierL said: Player Development - Dylan Borge YT Dylan Borge YT is one of the biggest talents in Gibraltar. Already a regular player at GIB for two years and at St Joseph's since January 2021 . In the past he played at Europa FC and Lincoln. He played 44 senior games, scored 17 goals. His attributes in January 2021 and in October 2022. So after almost 1.5 year at our development centre he improved most at technical and mental part. No change in Personality or Determination. Now he is on individual training ' Ball control' so he should or could develop more at 'First Touch ' ' Dribbling ' and 'Technique' . At the moment he isn't playing everything , Juanfri plays the most important games but this could change in the very near future. He improved 3.5 / 100 on the 'Technical - 4.29 / 100 on 'Mental' and 3.75 on the 'Physical' part. He improved his best role 'Advanced forward' from 51.25 to 56.88 . I'm happy with his development and i hope that i can improve attributes like Dribbling ,passing and Decisions. His pace should improve also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlivierL Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) Facilities update - Season 3 I requested to update this and after three attemps they accepted but for a lot of money. it was Adequate . Youth Recruitment and Academy coaching was easy to update till now. I'm very happy with how fast we are improving but i don't expect any miracles.. if we get one good youngster every year it would be really good for a Gib team.

OlivierL Posted May 9, 2021 Author Share Posted May 9, 2021 Youth Intake - Season 3 - Class of 2023 Two players above 40% , overall a weak intake. Average determination = 9.3 . Class of 22 was 9.06 . Class of 21 was 10.1 . Average total attributes = 35,76 . Class of 22 was 34,7 and class of 21 was 33,5 . So this is the best class . Spoiler Best of class 2023 Barber seems ok but he is not very tall and low self belief could become a problem. He scores 45,41 and is our best youth intake player since starting this save. I believe in Davison , he could become our best winger with his pace and dribbling and good personality. Only Gib players this time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlivierL Posted May 9, 2021 Author Share Posted May 9, 2021 Development update - Class of 2022 March 2022: March 2023 (one year development): DNA average: increased 1.8 Technical average: increased 1.2 Mental average: increased 1.4 Physical average: increased 3.5 Total average: increased 2.1 This class improved in comparison with the class of 21 a lot. Details: No determination changes yet. Everybody inproved overall with 'Professional' Lake and 'Fickle' Salah as best students of this class at the moment. Lake: Conclusion : If i compare this with my first development update from Class 21, this is a big step to the right direction. I have to take a look why the determination attribute didn't change . 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gibraltarian invincibles ! 60/60 points. Gibraltar Rock Cup We needed extra time in the final but we won our first ! Pepe Reyes Cup Europe Happy with our performance, managed to get a draw against every opponent from our EL group. Intermediate League (U23) Squad Key players Annesley: Our best defender. only 23 and a great bargain. Nano: Only 38 years old , assisted 20 ! Britto: Our other great central defender, only 22 . Juanfri: who else? scored 29 this season and will rotate with Dylan Borge next season . Academy Accolades Facilities (changes) Manager's thoughts Very happy with the treble, finally won the cup. we have a long way to go to win the league more than Lincoln but we are on track. Twice in three seasons very strong in the Europa league, I hope we can repeat this a few more times. The big test comes from once several 'real' players quit and we have to repeat this with regens. All players signed or still have a contract. I hope to steal a few more good regens at other clubs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlivierL Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 Pre-season - Season 4 - 2023/2024 We started with beating Tirana from Albania in our Champions league qualifications. Now we need to beat Olimpija from Slovenia and they have some good players. First Eleven This is our first eleven for important games . Olivero replaces retired Nano. This is our first eleven for other games in Gibraltar. Spoiler Transfers in Signed five regens from other clubs. I'm very excited about two. McMahon: Very good prospect, i'll loan him out to gain experience. Lloyd: a good AMC prospect. Buckley: Good Determination and some good attributes for the DMC position. Avellano: A 'real' player, signed him as third goalkeeper.Transfers out I get a lot of loan offer this pre-season .. that is a good thing ! I'm loaning some good prospects out. Staff changes I was able to sign some very good coaches for senior and youth team with good personalities. Senior training : U23 training: U19 training: Our training ratings improved a lot this season. Manager thoughts I decided to loan the four / five youngsters who are very close to the senior team and let them make minutes at other teams at the highest level. In the coming years I will have to continue to filter through, for now I am still counting on the older (mainly Spanish) players. I am counting on Europa League groupstage again and want to get the treble in Gibraltar again. I hope that the youth intake will slightly improve this season.

OlivierL Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Lincoln and Europa FC season 4 At the moment their reputation / season tickets / facilities aren't growing. I bought some of their best players (for free / end of the contract) at the start of the first seasons and i'm stealing their best GIB talents U17 . It seems like they managed to put together a good squad this season. maybe with the money I paid them for some talents. They do never pay transfer fees but pick up players with certain reputation and value, for free. After six games, we are three at the top. I'm not going to spoil too much yet but in the Pepe Reyes Cup I also had a lot of trouble with Lincoln . This is a good thing , hopefully they keep evolving like this. This way I have more opposition and challenge . And one of the objectives is to raise the level of the league. Lincoln transfers They signed some ex Millwall, Sunderland, Leeds , Luton youth/senior team. Some of them played Championship level two seasons ago. Europa FC transfers Van Der Hart from Lech Pozan , Marriott from Derby, Magloire from Blackburn I am very curious as to whether we will be able to compete with them in the future. We with only youth from Gibraltar, they with players with a history in Championship, league one, Spanish second division.

OlivierL Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) Youth Intake - Season 4 - Class of 2024 This is our best intake ! three players have + 45% at their total attributes. and some good personalities in the mix. Average determination = 8.4 . Not good. Spoiler Best of class 2024 Nicholson 24 and Middleton 24 are our best youth intake players till now. They could become GIB international in a few years . The only downside are their determination. Middleton is our second best defender at only 15 year ! Panesar 24 could become one of our main wingers in the future and Osbourne 24 is a tall central defender with a very good personality. Only one player with second nationality 'England'. Our best class at every part ! Edited May 20, 2021 by OlivierL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britto: Once again brilliant season as our DCL. Olivero: Replaced retired Nano very good with 13 assists in the league. Academy Accolades Facilities (changes) Improving again to excellent youth facilities and to good training facilities. Manager's thoughts Very pleased with our second treble and invincible season in a row. We continued in ECL (second knockout) and had a very good youth intake this time. I am going to let four senior players go and promote three or four talents. I am still looking forward to it despite the domination at Gibraltar competitions.

I'll give Lloyd a chance in the pre-season. For My Lloyd isn't an IFL because of his low Off the ball and dribbling. Pace is like u said also an issue.

OlivierL Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) Pre-season - Season 5 - 2024/2025 We started with a tricky CL qualifying match against Nordsjaelland . We were able to finish it off in extra time. Now Redbull Salzburg is next, normally we are chanceless. After that hopefully reaching EL or ECL group stage again. First Eleven Borge YT is our new number one striker. the other ten remains the same as last year. This is our first eleven for other games in Gibraltar with Mcmahon as third option up front. I'll rotate Juanfri, Catherall and Mcmahon on the IFR and Fc spot. Five new youngsters : I picked Rose YT , Green YT, Lake 22, Catherall YT and McMahon YT as new options. Our two best talents from the last class will train with the first team (i hope i can mentor their personalities and determination) but will play for U23 team. Transfers in Signed three new regens. Maynard : Our second poached player from Spain. He seems a very good striker prospect. Robertson: a young good GK prospect but unambitious. Skelton: Good personality and some good attributes for AMC spot. Transfers out I get a lot of loan offers this pre-season(again) .. i'm loaning all my prospects +18 years old. Staff changes I was able to sign some very good coaches and improve our training ratings for senior and youth team . Mario Gomez, Karim Bachar ,Emerson Boyce and our former GK Chino . Manager thoughts I decided to integrate five talents into the a team. We'll see if they can develop. The ambition remains to win it all every year in Gibraltar and to reach as many group stages of a European tournament as possible.

They are a very big club and we... aren't ! Now we have to wait and see what we can do in the return. We did it ! We have a chance against Legia (we won against them in 2021) and after this we could play the final qualification for the Champions league against Zagreb or Tel Aviv.
