Two players poached .. (Changed the skin between the screenshots 😅)

Hopefully they can earn me some money. Will definitely keep an eye on when they arrive in the game so I can rub my hands and hope for that sweet sweet 5% sales clause :D

They probably could develop into interesting Wide Center Backs if you ever try a 5 at the back formation. With those offensive abilities could even experiment with the Attack version. I agree on the height issue, but i guess it depends how big you are hurting for CBs. For me I want them to either be Tall or fast and sadly your guys are both short and slow.

Pretty much agree with that yes. Well i got some talents on CB, but not sure what there potential is.

Dronninglund IF (Season 3)

Another goalkeeper.. 😂 Still nice to see an Excellent Intake despite that we got 3 players poached by AaB.

We have carried our nice form into this division and currently sit on top :) 
I am really enjoying the pace of the save and will most likely see a very steep climb when I go to semi-pro divisions (tier 3), but there's a long way yet. 

Havent got any youth improvements because of the finances, so it's nice to see we can compete anyways.

The Magic Season 8, 2029-30

We have settled into mid-table. Not good enough to consistently compete with the big boys but good enough to win most against the teams nearer the bottom.

1444725437_table30.thumb.jpg.27e36f3081acf4764d6935f90f0d6c13.jpg

We did have a really nice run in the FA Cup, making it to the Finals, losing to Sundowns 2-1. We had a red card and a penalty called against us. I think it was rigged.

I think I may have found a striker. Mark Van Neel (28e) scored 17 goals this year. Basically everyone puts (low) bids for this guy every transfer window, one after another. So, I'm guessing he's good. So I've been playing the past couple of years but he burst out this year. Hopefully he stays. Though I did get a couple good youth strikers in the pull this season.

Throwing my hat in the ring with F.C. Chiasso, a small Swiss team close to the Italian border. Started with a decent squad and crucially most of my best players are in their early 20's. Predicted to finish 7th in the first season and with only one relegation spot I'm fairly confident I can keep us up, although looking at the teams around us there's actually some really good players in the Swiss second division so it might be harder than expected. Managed to persuade Arjen Robben and Terry Butcher to join the backroom staff! Can't think of more opposite play styles :lol:

Youth Intake Day (Dronninglund IF Season 3)

image.thumb.png.96731b13da7d442f54a2c890741fef49.png

Some new CB's with potential, a new GK and a winger/striker. Other than that, pretty underwhelming 😅

image.png.b7554b335d063317109283d2e47ae6c8.png

The one CB with solid CB-technicals, but need some work in the mental department.

Seems like the overall average of Determination has gone up, but still a lot of bad personalities among them. I like the pace of the offensive players and Teamwork of the defensive ones. 

 

No matches played since last, so still at the top (Winter Break) :)

Youth Intake 2025

Can't really ask for a better intake. No crazy stand out talent, but 6 elite talents that have a bright future. A mix of personalities, some better than others, but still overall good determination stats.

This one was really tough, but they came in at 400K and I pushed it up to what you see above. Hopefully the club will let me invest it. If not at least I shouldn't end the season in the red and then maybe in the offseason they'll be more agreeable.

Cardiff Draconians 2026/27

 

Our second journey into europe started with an easy win and a lucky comeback in the second round, i think the draw helped

1516613253_2027euro2ndround.png.f0d3b521e26c7721a686a2010c25d164.png

and then onto unchartered territory....the third round.

We drew a team from Russia and in the away leg we held our own 2-2 with two away goals!!!! we were going to do this, it was a home game after all.......and then.....

 418999813_eurothirdround2026.png.412260a73cca4254161ad05d12446da4.png

oops!!!

but the money from getting to the third round meant that we were able to improve our youth facilites again, but the youth set up was costing us a lot more each month so increasing it further at the moment id not feasible but our recruitment is the highest in the league so hopefully we will get first choice of the youngsters

1646130759_2027postseasonfacilities.png.80fa3a57785a46ce31108ec297aa76f7.png

 

the league overall was very similar to last year ended up in our highest position ever but the big news is that TNS lost the title, there are now two teams miles ahead of the rest of us  so it is a fight for EURO 2 qualification ( i started the game before names changes were available)

780058112_2026league.thumb.png.6438db0ff47e910e85421b211cfeded7.png

as you can see i have qualified for europe again

 870545186_2027cupfinal.png.65919ed7a4c9d4c66e3b4f69b8bb245c.png

it was hell of a game and the only time i beat them this year but it does mean that we keep going in europe which is essential to continue to progress, though decisions need to be made this season......do i save to turn pro or continue to improve facilities ????

A small mid-season update from me.
Before the season started, I hoped that we could maybe get a play off spot. But the season started very well with 5 wins in the 5 first games. Since then we have struggled a bit more and it does not feel like I am managing a top team. But with a few lucky last minut winners we were somehow still in the promotion spots.
I made the mistake of winning my Papa John's Trophy group which meant more games... Can someone from England please clarify why the **** someone thinks it is a good idea with another cup? When they have to make rules to force you to not play with the reserves you know that most club must dislike this cup.
However, after a great December with 4 wins and 1 lost match we are at the top again. Hopefully we can stay and end in the promotion spots. But it really depends on the Januar transfers. I lose one player who was my first substitute to my three-man-midfield and because my depth is not very great I can really not afford to lose any more players, except maybe a right winger. However, the player I am losing to Swansea somehow turned into an alcoholic this season. I think he has missed a total of 7 combined matches and training days because he went drinking. I am happy to say goodbye, but hope he does not **** up in Swansea too because of the 50 % sell-on clause.

1437215224_midseason30.thumb.PNG.2869a86bef03c3a0dc950ffe48872d8b.PNG


My preview of the youth intake was pretty good with 4.5 stars. However, I already have two goalkeeper talents and I do not use defensive midfielders, but he can probably also play as either central midfielder or defender. I really hope for more depth in those two positions.

Season Summary 2024 - 2025

2. Bundesliga survival

 

We survived the first season in 2. Bundesliga. Looking at the table it seems like it was a comfortable survival, but in reality the season was a frustrating one. We started off great and by christmas we were sitting on the top half of the table. The season took a dramatic turn for the worse after the winter break. In the last 17 games of the season we only 4! The fourth win was the last game of the season, before that we had gone 9 games without a win, most of them against team below us on the table! 

I changed from a 4-2-3-1 to a 4-3-3 with a DM for the last game and that seemed to work, but we will have our work cut out for us next season. 

We have to massive talents in Lothar Endres and Korbinian Kustermann, both winning an award this year, and looking at the rest of the team, we shouldnt go on those crazy bad runs. 

I am studying for my continental A license and we got some facility improvements this year. With a nice cash injection after survival things are looking good outside the pitch. Hopefully we can perform next season as we did in the first half of this one, if not, we might go down!

What a great player! He could play leagues above your level. Hopefully you can keep hold on him, but probably you will soon cash in a great transfer.

F.C. Chiasso 2022/23 (Season 1)

Swiss Challenge League

 

Really happy with a 3rd place finish in our first season. The top two were never catchable although a brilliant run just after the mid season break gave us a glimmer, but we unfortunately tailed off in the end. I went with a fairly attacking tactic as that was the strength of our team. Although it's a big squad there isn't a whole lot of quality outside the first eleven so suspensions and injuries really affected us at times. In the cup we went out 2nd round to Lugano which was disappointing, but I played a pretty rotated side so it's my fault. The key for next season is obviously to keep hold of my best players and slowly introduce some youngsters and have a go at the promotion places, but I'd still be happy with anything above 5th to allow us to develop as the top flight looks scary!

Nivokazi was my main man up top this season and did pretty well, I'll be looking for a 20+ goal season next time but that's a solid return. He would often go on dry spells but would react well to a kick up the backside and go on a streak. Just need some more consistency from him. Pavlovic is my aging captain and set piece specialist. He struggled defensively at times but it was hard to take him out the season as his impact as an assister was so crucial for us, but his game time might be limited going forward. Lastly Sorensen was my man mountain at the back, just look at that average rating! He was immense every game and his performances weren't padded out with a tonne of corner goals either.

Youth Intake

1369672145_Youthc.thumb.png.ca6f62b659ae493724e24d604ae3b2c0.png

Nothing crazy for our first batch with just 1 Elite talent, albeit one in a very welcome position as a potential successor to Pavlovic. I signed up all bar 2 in the end so we'll see if the rest can progress beyond what my staff think they can do. Not really happy with my HOYD, he's got a professional personality and 18 working with youngsters but I don't really like his tactical preferences, so I think I'll look to replace him next time around.

Best two prospects:

Although the prize money is great in Switzerland (who'd have guessed) we were losing a lot of money throughout the season so that prevented anything in the way of upgrades but hopefully the cash we get from our 3rd place finish which is over 500k will help towards that.

Could have used strong winger intake, but at least Keeper isn't the top one again. 

Midseason Table:

About where I hoped, battling it out for the playoff spot. I switched my tactics up a bit and have been very happy with the results. 

Other Happenings:

After selling a top player for $1,000,000 I was able to convince the board to upgrade my youth recruitment

iqWp39N.png

However, all season there's been takeover talks. Finally it happened.

Despite no plans to invest I pressed my luck and asked for the trifecta Training Facilities, Youth Facilities, and Youth Recruitment. At least one was approved

Beira-Mar – Season 2 – 2023/24 - Threatened With The Sack?

1995757805_Boardrequestmeetingtodiscussmanagersfuture.png.ada1b950ebe738cf4d7de222f4fc64a6.png

The last thing that I was expecting to be worried about when I was trying to survive in Liga 3 was the possibility that I could be sacked by the board. It turns out that it was a possibility. What did I need to do in order to survive?

480416539_BoardPromise.png.2715c40b144c07561fb7fb591008fc03.png

I needed to get 6 points in 5 matches. Doesn't seem that difficulty, right? We've had a pretty decent season so far.

So we got to work.

194755239_ResultsBetweenDecember-March.png.423eb2c6f0015fee88cb36b1dae471d9.png

The board meeting happened after lost to União de Leiria, and suddenly we became a much better side. Getting 10 points from 4 games, and smashing the target that we needed to get to avoid losing our job. Quite frankly, it was a job well done.

1465120936_Liga3-SouthFirstStageAfter22Matches.png.bf918ffedc7fb1d6f1952b96c70a8432.png

Not only did we managed to get the points needed to keep our job, but we managed to finish 3rd in our group, meaning that we would be in the promotion group, ensuring our survival for next season. As far as I was concerned, it was job well done.

1932611961_PromotionStage.thumb.png.9419f95fd2a14840befa57e9899b1b60.png

In our group, we had Caldas, Leixões and Trofense, some of the toughest teams we could have wished for in our group. It wasn't planned, but I have a chance of going up for the 2nd straight season and I'm scared about it actually happening.

If you guys want to see the goals that were scored during our run and the sheer panic I was going through at the idea that I was about to be sacked, feel free to watch my latest video. The relief I felt was something else.

IMO go pro. I remember the boost training full week did for progression, will also help with keeping players fit if you have congestion issues.

From experience, I'd say definitely go pro. You'll see the rewards, and, be able to reap small fees on even the worst players in your squad eventually. :D

OFK Beograd - Year 15 (2036/37)

Domestic | Continental | Squad | Season XI | Overall XI

Two years consecutive league champions! This is the first time that has happened in the league in over a decade. We reached a dominant boom in our squad where we had excellent rotation and youth players who stepped up whenever they were given the chance.

Certain games were ultimately too tough of opposition that could not keep us in the run for Champions League or Europa League glory but I am proud of the team's effort to at least dominate the domestic spectrum. Would be nice to win the cup some time soon....

Transfers | Finances

Oh boy minimum fee release clauses really screwed me over now.
Whilst the finances are looking great I think my president still does not care about the cushion and thinks any offer is just too good to turn down. I think next year will be tough to retain the wonderkids.

Youth Squad | ContinentalPreview | Intake 1 | Intake 2

We actually had a youth competition to participate in, which we did alright in. Most of my best youth were abroad on loan but I was proud of the 15/16/17 year olds who stuck around and gave themselves a good run.
The actual intake was rather good. I think I got myself a goalkeeper who could be my long-term project. 

Nikola Milosevic (37A) | Dusan Popovic (37B) | Kenan Tutic (37D) 

Healthy Crops: 

Sasa Vukovic (30C)

Hard to replicate a 40+goal season but to achieve over half of that in the next season is commendable.
I think he has hit his ceiling and it sure is not enough to progress, but I’ll keep him around.

Jovan Krmar (31D)

I think this year is surely his swansong with me, he is absolutely performing and I think cash is king in the grand old scheme of things.

Bojan Jakovljevic (31A) & Denis Ratkovic (34E)

My two powerhouses in defence, unfortunately going to be losing Denis at the end of the season to PSG.
Good luck to him, I hope Bojan sticks around too…

Zoran Nikolic (35A)

Oh boy what a glow up! This kid has it, he can keep the winning form coming.
I hope so because I get some low-ball offers with attempts to unsettle him but I am willing to throw the kitchen sink to keep him.

So youth arrived

But since last update I've basically lost every game, with some draws, and very rare;y a win. Nothing I do seems to make a difference even though I kept support from players and even morale isn't bad. Just not really have fun with this save so think I'm going to end it here

Going to play afew short saves just so I can try and understand the match engine abit more so I can actually feel like I'm doing something and then I'll try again.

After many false starts and disappointments, I am trying in Germany as the sixth tier database has been released and it appears to be stable.  I have holidayed for a season and have taken over a newly promoted club.

Denbigh Town F.C - Season Summary 2023-2024

Squad | Finance | Transfers 

JD Cymru Premier

I went into the season optimistically, and I am really pleased with the top 6 finish. I am very new to the league structure and to have the chance to playoff for Europe qualification was a surprise bonus we took advantage of. We performed well at home against most teams except the top 2. The only really bad run of form coming right at the end of the season, which saw us slip from a high of 3rd place to sixth. We had some luck in the playoff for Europe, we beat Caernarfon in the semi-final and then 7th placed Cefn Druids had reached the final, which led to a quite comfortable 2-1 win in the final.

Despite exceeding all of the expectations for the season, I am still struggling to find the best 11 each week. With so many players coming in the youth intake last season, that have the potential to feature, I kept swapping things around. I have around 7 players as guaranteed starters. Two players from last seasons intake had great seasons, Powell was solid in midfield, but the star was Aled Vaughan Boyes (23b) he finished the season with an average rating of 7.49 at centre back. He was immense at winning headers and picked up young player of the year.

Youth Intake

This intake promised more in the preview and duly delivered. It is still difficult to know what 5 star potential means, but the star of this intake is Rossi Graham (24a), with his personality I think he will continue to get better as well. It's just a shame his physicals are so poor. Kai Hewitt should be very solid for us at centre mid, the big lad has a great jump on him and in this league that can be a decent weapon.

Club overview

There were no developments with our facilities this season, although we have had two stadium expansions rejected now. We only get to about 10% of the grounds capacity. so that isn't an issue yet. Finances and transfers have been quiet so far, which is fine with me. I am hoping that reaching Europe so soon, gives us a little reputation boost and maybe some money, but I don't expect to make it very far.

Dronninglund IF (Season 3)

Champions! Tier 6 completed and now to Tier 5. The season went really nice and there were no real threats.

image.thumb.png.5e70e6f4a6a38eae8d3be5e36defc588.png

Once again honorable mentions to Jacob Fuglsang 1A with 23 goals. He is definitely the star of the squad and I hope he wont get taken by other teams, as we are still an amateur team with no contracts :D

My star man.

Got the Continental Pro License but besides that, no noteworthy changes to the club. Finances are not looking great either, so I hope I can soon enter the Cup so earn some money from gate receipts. So just keeping the club floating for now..

Beira-Mar – Season 2 – 2023/24 Youth Intake

1561511078_YouthCandidates1.thumb.png.1679fed64cf7a2b93c5c184690a98764.png

Our youth intake has arrived and things look like a golden generation. Now, it must be said that for a golden generation it was completely perfect, but I was still happy with it.

1357336645_YouthIntake.thumb.png.bbb226e98aba1865dccc1d537bb7e1a5.png

For a better look of their nationalities, their personality and where they were born, I had this view which is very useful to say the least.

1610343887_FernandoMartins.thumb.png.d11e306091f6bfefaff45e97c91cf3c2.png

Fernando Martins is considered the best player of the bunch and has really good attributes to play as a left winger, which I don't tend to use. Now, whether I can train him to be good on his right foot as well remains to be seen, but I feel that I can.

1750164236_TomsBornes.thumb.png.a9ba8c4f4a2e6791e1665da5429777ec.png

Tomás Bornes is considered the second best player of the group, and is also someone who can play on the wings. I feel that he will be getting quite a bit of game time in the near future. It'll be up to him and the mentoring group he will be a part of to help him grow as both a player and as a person.

For more details on the youth intake and the players that came through, feel free to watch my latest video, I went over every player that has at least 3.5 stars of potential and also played the first match of the promotion stage too. I thought it was a good time.

Well things with Tamworth did not go well :P Sacked in January after a 10 match losing streak. 

 

So after holidaying again, this time I am heading to Basford United, a team that has been climbing up the leagues in real life (they were in the 9th tier in 13/14) and who, crucially, have more than 13 playes in the squad.
