Popular Post GylfiAsCharged Posted January 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) FC Carl Zeiss Jena - 2022/23 Season Transfers - Squad - Best Eleven Top Scorer: Fabian Eisele (24) Most Assists: Felix Drinkuth (12) Highest Avg. Rating: René Lange (7.25) A bit of a rollercoaster campaign to get us off and running, but after my downfall at Truro I'm quite pleased to just make it to the end of the season and sign an extended contract. It has been clear from the start that while our board doesn't rate the team, that there is some quality on board. Aside from a mid-season slump we spent most of the campaign in the top half, and have settled into the division quite nicely. We weren't involved in any cups, allowing us to focus solely on our league objective of battling bravely against relegation. My bigger challenges this season were in keeping personnel happy, with the squad having a lot of doubt in my ability to begin with, and many fringe players getting upset over a lack of playing time. They didn't sign contracts to stay on next season, and I won't miss the majority of them. I thought I'd done enough to appease Romarjo Hajrulla with more playing time but he didn't see it that way, and I'd have liked to keep the Albanian attacker at the club especially following some good late season form but he already seems to have made up his mind unfortunately and handed in a transfer request which I may well ignore unless a decent bid comes in. Past Positions As you can see, a fast start, then a bit of a slump that saw us go winless for the whole of September, but our good start helped keep us out of a relegation scrap when things were turning sour and we ended the season on a bit of a charge, finishing only four points behind the play-off place ultimately. I had a few moments of dread against the league's B teams, conceding to Zirkzee and Vidovic twice each, and once to Fiete Arp who earns more than my whole club's wage budget in our two defeats to the Bayern B team and I wasn't best pleased to see Youssoufa Moukoko leading the scoring charts early in the season, but he was promoted to their first team after only 9 games thankfully, and without him up front we beat his Dortmund B side home and away who didn't really threaten in lower mid-table. I don't think we're nearly well enough equipped for a sustained promotion battle yet but who knows. The only thing I'm confident of is that Bayern B will win the title again next year, pushing the promotion places a spot further down the table. This year we were only expected to fight bravely against relegation and next season the board just wants survival, I'm signed up for another two years with the only expectations being that we stay in the league and stick to the wage budget which I only spend a little over half of anyway. I don't expect to get promoted in these two seasons and wouldn't be surprised to see a slight regression next year due to how streaky we were. Also once I feel we are definitely safe I will likely start blooding some youngsters from our first intake. For context, our u19s ran away with the league title this season in the extremely weak Regional League (only Hansa Rostock's u19s ran us remotely close, finishing 10 points behind our 113), which grants us promotion to what I believe to be the National Youth Championship. Our u19 squad only had five players in it, who were joined by greyed out players but still managed to dominate the league consisting mostly of teams from below the playable leagues. As a result, I signed a larger crop of this year's intake than I usually would just to bulk out the squad and help them compete at the higher level. The Youth Intake I quite liked the positional spread of this preview, and was hoping for a player who could possibly contribute to the first team next season. I didn't get the instant first-teamer that I'd hoped for, but plenty of worthwhile prospects with to bulk out the u19s with and a few who I will be looking to give minutes to relatively early on. Our current first team right back is really more of a winger, and put in some terrible performances at times this season, so if Pascal Siepel can hit the ground running and develop an attacking side to his game there may well be first team minutes available for him quite soon. Felix Treitel will struggle to displace my current two CMs who might just be the best players at the club, but he comes in with some good stats for a 15 year old and could be useful depth in future seasons, though I'll need to wait for his 16th birthday before giving him any minutes. In total I signed up 12 players from this intake, mainly to help the team battle relegation and become established in their new league, which contains a much more worthwhile level of opposition. We could well see a load of these guys in the first team in future though, all things going well. It's the first time I've survived a season of this challenge so I'm not really sure what to expect. Between a top half finish, promotion for the u19s and two upgrades for each of academy coaching and youth recruitment, I feel like the 2022/23 season goes down as a success for the project.

Popular Post DazRTaylor Posted January 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) End of Season Review Season 2022/23 Glentanar Season Summary We were promoted by winning the league though we were mainly dreadful in the cups. Season Details League Table - We were always top and never looked back. League Fixtures 1 & 2 - After winning our first five league games, we only got better as time went on. Macron Scottish Junior Cup - We were knocked out in the first round by Maryhill, who play in the tier above. North and Tayside Inter-Regional Cup - Another first round exit, this time to sixth tier side Scone Thistle. North Regional Cup - Our best cup run this season as we made it to the semi final before sixth tier side Bridge of Don Thistle proved to be too strong. Grill League Cup - With two losses and one draw in our three games, it is safe to say we finished bottom of our group and were eliminated. Pre Season Friendlies - Considering the strength of teams we played, this was a pleasing pre season campaign. Squad - We are nowhere near good enough to go up again. Squad Dynamics - As good as you would expect. Transfers In - None. Transfers Out - None. Youth Candidates - Striker Ross McGregor YP23F6 is the best prospect out of a decent enough group. Finances - We are in the black, though only just. Key Players Iain McLaughlin - A quality campaign from the central midfielder. Lee McAllister - The best player at the club, the central midfielder was exceptional. David Cooney - Playing at either left back or on the left wing, he was invaluable. Nicky Burnett - Our main striker who scored more than enough. David Lennon - The young right back had a stellar campaign. Next Season Consolidation is what we are looking for.

Popular Post fries Posted January 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Premier League 2039/40 (season 18) Season Summary Great season! We exceeded all my expectations and qualified to a European tournament for the first time in the club history. Before the season I hoped that one or max two of my young prospects could breakthrough at the first team. However after the season I can see that 5 players had their breakthrough season! I think they were a great reason of the succes in this season We started the season great, but it was also primarly against the lower bottom teams. We had some injuries in the beginning of the season which meant that some young players got their chance. And it worked well. We were placed 3rd after 10 games. However the next 4 games was against Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal. We lost all four including a massacre at Anfield. From then we worked our way up through the table once again and ended on the 5th position. In the cups we had a great run in the Carabao cup which ended in the semi finals where we lost two close games to Liverpool. Inspired by the great Carabao cup run I hoped we could do well in the FA cup too. After two 3-0 wins against a Championship side and League One side we were facing Newcastle. I started the best players but then it happened. The second massacre of the season. We broke the record (which was only a few months old) for the largest defeat. 7-1... But overall the season was great with some great player perfomances. Ahmad was our best player with the highest rating, of 7.35, most assists with 9 and most goals with 18. Ferguson and Acheampong also had a great season once again. My old beloved former stars, Armstrong and Osmani, have been overtaken by younger better players. But I hope I can keep them until retirement as backups. Armstrong is my primary mentor too. Koch, Morgan, Cummins, McPhillips and Prior all had their first season on the first team. Before the season I thought Koch could take a starter position in the defense and maybe Morgan would get some playing time on the midfield. They were both regular starters through the season. At the last review I wrote that Cummins was a few years from becomming a regular. I was wrong, as he was about a half year from becomming a regular. He is a fine defender who can cover all three positions in the back. My plan was to get McPhillips out on loan again, but an injury to one of the other offensive player made me keep him. He did well and is a great backup player as he can player three positions AM(R), M(C) and striker and thus cover for 5 of my starters. Prior was on loan in the first half of the season. But he came back and was a regular starter in the second half of the season. I think he could be my future top striker, but for now he primarly plays at the right wing. Turner who played his second season as a starter now has the wonderkid description. For the first time in the club history. I hope this new generation can take me the next step. Acheampong won the African Goalkeeper of the Year award. Again this season I had players on the NxGn-list. Cummins was number 10 and Koch was numer 46. I hoped that Prior would also be on the list. But he was not. I think he has one more chance next year. My preview was great with 5 stars. My intake was very great with 7 elite talents which all had decent personalities. Furthermore the players cover most parts of the field. I think it is the best intake I have ever had! For the first time I had players through from my affiliates. One from Slovakia (Trnava) and one from Croatia (Hajduk Split). We had no major sales this season. Finances and Upgrades Not much interesting to tell here. The facilities are still fully maxed and the club is rich after a few seasons in the Premier League. We are now 1 year from moving into our new stadium and thus away from Burnley.

Popular Post JLAB Posted January 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2022 Beira-Mar – Season 11 – 2032/33 Youth Intake Preview In the world of football, I've found that some months could either go well, or go badly. In October, I found myself wondering if our league form was going to disappear, but the 5-0 win against Caldas put my concerns to bed. We didn't enjoy our cup games, but we did almost draw against Porto, telling me that our side could actually take on some of the best teams in the country and give them a tough match. Our league form has seen us enjoy our best ever start to a league campaign. Being top after 15 matches is a promising time for those at the club and it has started to make me believe that yes, we can in fact potentially get promoted last season, after just missing out the year before. Our youth intake preview has also been rather promising to say the least. Being promised two good wingers, a good striker, a good central midfielder and a good attacking midfielder is always something that will make me feel more at ease. So I decided to get rid of the newgan pack and our football has been easy on the eye too. We're enjoying ourselves this season and things are looking exciting to say the least. For how we did in the matches, my latest video reveals all. Feel free to watch it yourselves. JLAB's YAC with Beira-Mar Part 68 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post libbyshuss Posted January 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2022 So here I am, jumping straight back in and heading to Argentina. I downloaded a custom database that takes you down to the fifth tier of Argentinian football, just for the extra challenge. Turns out the fifth tier is made up of a league full of teams from Beunos Aires and about 12 other regional leagues So, on July 15th 2022, I went to check which teams were elligible. There was no teams promoted, so I had to go for a team that followed bottom of their league. And the regional leagues are just packed full of teams with grey players - only the Beunos Aires Leagues had teams. And bottom of the table were:- so...... The Bad News Not the greatest starting facilities. The stadium is amazing though, I found a picture of it on google:- Brilliant! Worse, our finances are a total bin fire. We're above our wage budget and got a frightening bank balance Not the greatest starting place! The good news We got a pretty big squad and they actually look pretty good for this level. Once i sort the wheat from the chaff with any luck we'll be able to shift some players on and get the wage bill down. We'll have to see what the transfer market in Argentina is like. I added several other South American leagues as view only which hopefully makes them a little more active in the market as well So, the aim in the first season is to get the wage bill down, trim the squad, get back room staff up and running and avoid finishing bottom. Let's go!!! 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TheWillsy Posted January 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2022 South Shields season 9: 2030-31 A solid but unspectacular season for our first in league 1, which I'm pretty happy with. Never looked like challenging but not near danger either. Nothing much to comment on in the cups. We made a couple of sales as the cost of our youth coaching and recruitment are incredibly high. Langton 27F departed to Derby for a fee which could reach 1m. He was very good for us but it is a position in which we have a bit of depth. We also sold Kitching 27C to Derby. He spent the season on loan at national league level so I thought we could probably afford to lose him and it's another near 1m sale. Back to a 5 star preview, but it didn't seem like a 5 star one when the players came through. One or two players returning from loan who may push the first team players, but I'm expecting pretty much the same team to line up next season too. The goal is to survive in league 1 until we can bring some more quality through. Switched up my HOYD to James Milner, so will see if anything changes with the intake next season. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jepze Posted January 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Jepze - UJA Maccabi Paris Métropole - Season 2026/27 A new season, maybe a new begining, to get some money from the cup, climbing the table, maybe promote, but only one of this things was an reality. In the cup, we just got to the 4th round again. It was the first round and we lost, again. But on the other side, we could concentrate on the league again this year, and we did. We climbed from a 12th place with 39 points to a 4th place with 57 points. It's the highest amount of points, we have got in this league since i took over. Maybe we can push for promotion next season, where some of our new youngsters joins the first team and can get registered for the league. There are some good players in the new intake, but we'll come to them later. Squad | Transfer | Finances The 4th youth intake was again an 5 star excellent, where we would get a good goalie, but i couldn't find him, when i got the youth candidates, so a bit disappointed. We got an E in the winger spot (can't see on the picture), but one of them is going to rock our world next season. Spoiler I'm not fan of the renaming the players, so now i'll go for their original names. Our first player was an fine midfielder for our team. He will come in and be an creator from the midfield. The midfieldspot is the weakest in our team, but Alban Brossard looks decent and can be a big part of our promotion push in the upcoming seasons. He's a small guy, but hopefully he'll be quick on his feets. The next player, who got to the first team in this season to train with them, is Fabien Bernard. He's an AMC, but will be training as a striker. He got a lot og the attributes to be a striker, but need some finishing. We havn't got any good strikers in our youth intakes yet, but have played with a lot of wingers in the striker position, so maybe he will be the key to get a promotion. Last player i'll show is another CM. I'll will present Abdelali Khayat, who is another great central midfielder, who got 14 passing! He will be partnering up with Alban in the center of the field in the upcoming season. We'll get a new midfield from this intake, and i'm ready to see some difference on the pitch, when they both can play. Other than them, we got Ritchy Diakité, who has been the best performing player for the last 3 seasons.

Popular Post Vespertine Posted January 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2022 FC Ruggell - 2022/23 League Well, this went better than expected! We spent almost all the season in second place, at one stage 10 points behind runaway leaders Kreuzlingen. They started to slip in the final third of the season and we overtook them by thumping them 4-0 at our place in game week 22. We then slipped up and fell back to second but managed to overhaul them by beating Red Star ZH in our final game. I started the season only really aiming for survival but when we won our first two game 4-1 and 5-0 I had a feeling we might do a little better. Strangely the primary position sorting for teams on level points in this league is discipline(!) so even though our goal difference was by far the best in the lead and we went into the final game level with Kreuzlingen we had to better their result to win the league, which luckily we did. The next tier looks a lot stronger with a mixture of B Teams and clubs who look much stronger than us, only 2 go down from that level so hopefully we'll at least be able to compete. Cup We also impressed in the Liechtenstein Cup, making it all the way to the final before being beaten by FC Vaduz who also went on to win the second tier. Although we only lost 3-1 it wasn't a close game and Vaduz have won the cup every year since 1997 with the exception of two seasons. They'll still be playing 3 division higher than us next year despite our promotion so I don't see us winning this any time soon. Squad Statistics A lot of our better players are on the older side which is alarming, however some of the intake (see below) already look like they'll be able to contribute next season. One concern is that I started the season with 3 keepers - two left on a free before Christmas and the third is leaving us in July (roll on being able to offer semi pro deals!) meaning I'll be starting next season with our first intake keeper in goal, and to be honest he isn't any great shakes. Youth Intake Very pleased with the first intake, we'll only have 14 of our original players left next season so I'd expect to see quite a few of these lads in and around the first team squad and as mentioned above Furstenhofer 22i will be our new number one next season, though not be choice. Feyh22a is easily the best in this intake and considerably better than anyone I ever managed to produce in my Ton Pentre save. He's already appeared for the first team and is already being linked to a youth international call up. I'll get him on a part time contract for next season if I can but realistically I don't expect him to stay around too long. Admin Just the two outs, but annoyingly both goalkeepers with our third following them out of the door next month. We managed to push through a junior coaching upgrade before our finances declined too much, I'm guessing with part time deals they'll keep sinking next season and until we can either hit the top league or win the cup. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Daddy Posted January 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2022 2027 Midseason: Two problems with the team, scoring and the keeper. 2nd from bottom with 69% save percentage. Even though I don't think my best keeper prospect is ready I'm featuring him more. Also near the bottom for goals for, but upper mid on XGF. Just a little improvement on both and the team is back in the hunt for continental competition. speaking of: the problems detailed above plagued as a weak goal and way too many missed chances lead to an early exit. 2027 Intake Preview: I have some striker depth, but none have really broken through yet. Hopefully adding more to the mix will shake one out soon. Wound up with a wonderkid ranking from the 2025 class.

Popular Post SpS_Zen Posted January 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2022 Heibei Kungfu Season 1 With odds 34-1, predicted 12th, I was confident. Also, it felt natural to play a 433 MD with the squad I have. Which is the only formation I played so far in fm22, so I guess I have some expertise with it now lol. We lacked a real striker, luckily for us, Jia Xiaochen did the job from the midfield and carried the team with 18 goals and 10 assists. We managed to obtain a promotion which is probably too early. We lack depth and quality for the Super League. But the reputation boost is always nice to have. Our key player, and our finances. We are bleeding money as we have a low sponsorship revenue, the lowest attendance of the league, and the club giving high primes amounts despite the financial projections. We need a sugar daddy or to sell players quickly, otherwise we may be stuck for a while. YI looks ok, but i don't know what to expect from it. A CM is announced as my hot prospect. Next season will be rough, and I doubt I will be able to avoid relegation. But this is the opportunity to discover the Super League, and maybe improve our incomes. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BustaRaymes Posted January 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) *FM20* Molodechno-DYuSSh-4 2038 - season 19 Before we get into the league, this year started off great - with the first cup win! With this cup we also received a ticket to the ECII second qualifying round. Belarussian Highest League A very decent season. Because of our European games we had to rotate a lot more than usual. Before, we would lack the depth to stay competitive, but a few players emerged that weren't bringing the overall quality down too much. Europe We drew Brondby right away and I was annoyed even before our adventure started. But then this happened: Debrecen was a nice draw and Zorya was bound to be too strong as well, but after a nailbiter of a game we managed to qualify for the group stage! In just our second European outing as a Belarussian midtable side, this is incredible. But the most important thing: FINALLY we have some money! We managed a youth upgrade and a training facility upgrade. Youth facilities were cancelled, but a second try it was accepted again, so let's hope it tsticks this time. On to the group stage, the lads weren't done yet: Having drawn Slavia Prague as the dominating force was not bad, as we were maybe able to beat Trnava and Sheriff. And we damn well were: we were certain of the next round with a game in hand. The draw has pitted us against Osijek. A tough opponent, but that is to be expected. I'm just happy to still be in the draw! Squad As stated before, we had to rotate a lot more than before. Players like Antilevskiy, Medvedev and Volodko were decent performers when needed. Club legend Sachivko is still number one, but Lisakovich is developing into the capable replacement we'll need soon. Maybe we can loan him to a First Div side for 2 years, by then he has to be ready. Zaytsev was a very nice surprise. Although I usually play with either Lebedev as a lone advanced forward or Lebedev and Pavlovets two pressing forwards, he got some serious playing time at 17 and performed really well. He is developing extremely fast so I might just give him a starting spot next season. Youth intake Improvements to youth investment are paying off more and more. Another intake that's better than the last. It sucks a bit that Polyakov, our most talented defender, is a right back as well. I might retrain one of them as a left back. Wojcicki will be making his debut before too soon. We can really use someone for our right side. Best player Loshankov has been there for years, but is more of a hard-working right-half than a winger. Not a fan, but we'll see how he develops. Next season Now that I tasted the opportunities that present themselves when having money, our goal should be to get into Europe more regularly. With the upgrades we got, I have hope we can improve with a new wave of talented players. We'll be actively replacing the older, better players in favor of young talent.

JLAB Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Beira-Mar – Season 11 – 2032/33 We Need To Take Advantage! After Christmas our form has been superb. Only dropping 4 points in 7 games makes me believe that yes, we can actually continue to mount a promotion challenge that looks more successful than last year's did. We are 6 points clear of Feirense and 7 points clear of Académico de Viseu, and 13 points clear of Chaves. Top 3 at the minimum now must be the aim. Winning the league outright? That is something that we can truly aim for now. As for how we've been doing this well in the league, the latest video shows all of the goals and just how well our players have been playing in the league so far.

Popular Post Vespertine Posted January 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) FC Ruggell - 2023/24 League - 6th A very decent 6th place in our first season at this level. Despite every other club in the division being able to offer part time contracts our board decided to stick to non-contract terms, meaning a lot of hoping players opted to stick around. Luckily most did meaning we had a comfortable season. We never looked like troubling the playoff places but equally never looked like going down, job done. Liechtenstein Cup Now this was a real disappointment. We comfortably made the final again and having expecting to come up against FC Vaduz it was a huge shock to find fellow fourth tier team Balzars had knocked them out! This was a huge chance for an early financial boost from the EC2 qualifiers but we rolled over and had a our bellies tickled in a 3-0 mauling in the final. I can't imagine there will be too many seasons I don't have to come up against Vaduz so this was a bitter pill to swallow. Squad Statistics Plenty of chances for my younger players, with Furstenhofer22i an ever present in goal (and not doing dreadfully considering he isn't very good!) and Braun22c also holding down a starting role. Wohlwend24d came straight in from the intake (see below) and hit the ground running with a mightily impressive 7 goals in 7 games. The squad is always on a knife edge and without being able to offer contracts players can be taken from me at no notice between July & February, but for now the players are remaining loyal - I hope that continues. We've also now got one full international, two u21s and an u19 in the Liechtenstein squad, maybe one day we'll produce most/all of them! Youth Intake Another solid intake with a better spread of personalities this time. Wohlwend went straight into the first team squad to supplement our aging frontline, Albers is a lefty so I'll be retraining him from WBR to LB and would expecting to see some minutes sooner rather than later. The other quality player in this intake is Weirather, but we're currently stacked on the right wing so he'll have to bide his time for now. Slower than I'd usually like in a striker but with defenders at this level generally even slower he's more than getting by. As mentioned a goal a game from his first 7 starts is an outstanding return and again I'll be hoping to keep hold of him as long as I can. Admin Losing our last starting keeper before the season was a blow but it forced my hand into playing a youngster and he more than delivered. I'd have liked to keep Buchel around for squad depth but at 36 he'd been usurped by Braun and wasn't happy to sit on the bench leaving me no choice when Bern came calling. (They signed 6 players in January all 34 and over - something of an Old Boys club!) Edited January 17, 2022 by Vespertine 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WhiteCat33 Posted January 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2022 Nogometni Klub Pobrezje: 2031/32 – Slovenian 3rd League: East (Season 8) Season Review: https://imgur.com/a/Cyj4v2C Performance: CHAMPIONS! Wow I was not expecting a championship even though we had a great season. It literally came down to stopage time of the final game of the season. The important score is Dravograd vs Pohorje. That early penalty got me excited, but of course early in the second half they pulled it level. But a surprise red card gave me a tinge of hope. And then, in stoppage time, 7th placed Pohorje scored the game winning goal killing Dravograd’s points advantage to us so we win the promotion on goal differential. Considering 5 of our starting XI were U-18 at the start of the season this is a serious overachievement. Now we can play in the Vanilla starting league of the Slovenian 2nd Tier! The top 3 of us traded positions all season with us having the least time at the top of the table, but still very consistent competing with them. Squad Transfer None Youth Academy Youth Intake Preview Youth Intake Pretty good for a 4* intake. Still all Elite though, so we have a ways to go No one was amazing, but I ended up taking 10, but again its because I’m throwing away so many at the end of the season. U-21 International Our first Youth International! Our Kosovan CAM. I suspected he would get called up soon as he switched his primary nationality over the summer. Club Improvements Start of Season: End of season: Coach Got both a National A and Continental C this season. End result: And with our 3rd division Championship I cement Icon status for myself: Excel Manager Thoughts Its going to be a hard relegation fight next season. We really advanced because the team who dropped down was pretty weak and our youth players just stepped up like crazy. Luckily there only 2 relegation spots for 16 teams in the 2nd division and it looks like if we can get 30 points in 30 games more seasons than not we will stay up. For Club upgrades from now on it will be just trying to get professional status as we have sufficient youth recruitment and jr coaching and we won't get up to 500k anytime soon for a next level facilities. I don't expect another upgrade there till we are challenging for Europe, which is a ways off. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post XaW Posted January 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2022 XaW - Brickfield Rangers - Season 2027/28 - JD Cymru Premier Squad | Transfers | Finances This was a really strange seasons. We have never done as well, but I also think we played some of our worst football so far in this challenge. We scored a lot more, but also conceded more, and somehow we really struggle to impact the matches. Very often we need thunderbolts or very low xG chances to get anything from matches. So it's been a really strange season. Not sure what I'm going to do tactically going forward, but we'll see. When the 22 games of the initial stage was done, we were 7th on goal difference behind Colwyn Bay, very annoying to go into the relegation stage, but it is what it is. There we had a good finish against the lower rated teams, so we finished top of the lower bracket and qualified for the European playoff. There we beat Colwyn Bay and Cadriff Met Uni before we had to face Caernarfon in the final. There we took the lead just on half time, and it looked even better when they got a red card just after the break. They still got a goal to draw things up and take it to extra time. Then we got a dubious pen to retake the lead before they got another red card and we just saw the game through to win it. So we are going into Europe next season! Welsh League Cup: We beat Denbigh before we lost to Bala Town in the 3rd round.Welsh Cup: We beat Swansea Uni before losing to Gap Connah's Quay in the 4th round. Youth intake: Another goalkeeper, but the defender is the key here! And a couple of more promising player too. Brett Hopkins 28a is a very talented goalkeeper, but he is still 3rd best and will develop with the kids for now. Very happy with Ben Eyre 28b. Nice physicals, but also good tackling (and passing!), so he will be very useful. Trophy cabinet JD Cymru North - 1 (2025/26) 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jepze Posted January 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2022 Jepze - UJA Maccabi Paris Métropole - Season 2027/28 Another season in tier 5 is done, and this wasn't the season, where we got the promotion. Our team is better now than ever before, and we're just going for a promotion push next season. We got a good striker now in last years Fabien Bernard, who are getting a lot of goals. Before him, we played with wingers on the top and never scored more than 15 goals in an season, but in Fabien's first season, he got 23 goals, and he just develop to be our best player in the squad. Otherwise, our starting players are getting overtaking on star rating from a lot of our own players, so we just got 2 players in the squad now, who hasn't come through our youth intakes. Or we got 3, but the last is on a 1700 DKK pr. week wages, and is the second/third best DM we got, so i'm maybe realesing him to get some more money to extend the better players contracts instead. In the cup, we got to 6th round, but lost 2-0 to FC Lorient, who won Ligue 2. Squad | Transfer | Finances The youth preview showed some good potential on the goalie spot, fulbacks a striker and a CB, but when i saw the resulat, we only got an striker, who was good enough for the first team, while the others was going to the U/23, but not every player was signed. Only the players who could make a little progress to get to the first team. Spoiler . Our first player and the best, was the striker. We need a substitute for Fabien, and Mathieu Petit will be the man. Mathieu looks decent, but need a little work, to get into the sstarting 11. If he develop decent, matbe we will change the system to play with an AMC, where Fabien will play. The last player i'll show is Rafik Meftah. He's an AMR, and we don't get any player, who has this position as their main. He looks decent again, but need some work in the technical areas, but this is something we can train. He got some decent fribilling, but aren't the quickest player in the league. He will nearly go to the first team, but need a little bit to get here.

Popular Post thomas_e Posted January 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) SpVgg Unterhaching Season Summary 2034 - 2035 Bundesliga title race and another shockingly bad Champions League adventure This was the first season that we had enough squad depth to rotate and still keep decent quality in the team. Some of the rotational players would probably have gotten valuable experience by going out on loan, but I was tired of playing with 3. Bundesliga quality players as soon as I get injuries. One of the huge positives that this season brought me was a contract renewal for our best player, Mohamed Ouni. He had refused for several years to renew his contract, so it was a great surprise when he accepted to enter negotiations. He now has a £91 million buy-out clause, but that is still a lot better than losing him for sure on a free. In terms of the Bundesliga we did really great. We were in the title race together with Bayern Munchen and Borussia Dortmund almost all the way and at times we were really impressive. Around March, Borussia Dortmund unfortunately got an edge over us and Bayern and when we lost to them 0-2 at home at the end of April they ended up lifting the trophy at our home ground. Even though we still would have needed a miracle it was really dissapointing that we lost that game, considering that they had played a CL quarter final against Bayern Munchen three days before, a game that went all the way to penalties.. After that game we really stopped performing, so Dortmund ended up with a very comfortable league title. But that aside, we have to be extremely happy finishing 2nd place. I don't expect us to be in the title race again next year, we were quite lucky at times this season, but we now know that we have the ability to compete, and our U19 team is on fire!! We have some hugely talented players aged 16-17 (screenshots below)! My biggest problem in the Bundesliga is how scary good Bayern and Dortmund are. Dortmund didn't lose a single game this year!!! They also won the cup and I am sure they will win the Champions League in a couple of weeks. I have activated the English, Italian and Spanish leagues to balance the game, but Dortmund and Bayern are one step above the rest these days! We were great in the Bundesliga, but my oh my, we have a European problem. We drew Real Madrid, Monaco and Shakhtar in the Champions League this season, a really good draw. But somehow we managed to finish last, we only beat Monaco at home. We actually only lost 1-0 away to Real Madrid, but overall we were dreadful, even though I rotated quite a lot before the CL games. The last game against Shakhtar at home I played with a very weak team, as I had no interest in going to the Europa League for a third straight year. Hopefully we can improve next year, we can't get any worse! The goals for next season is another top 3 finish in the Bundesliga and hopefully qualify from the CL group stage. Our 2nd place in the league this year will hopefully have us seeded 2nd in the draw.

Popular Post Daddy Posted January 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2022 2027 Season Review: Pretty good run in the 2nd half was good enough to climb to 8th and cling to it to end the season qualifying for the Sudamericana for the second consecutive year. With some previous intake players banging down the door and Sepulveda's form starting to slip I decided to move on before he hits the end of his prime and cashing out would be for less money. 2027 Youth Intake: Y27D immediately steps in as a starter. he's a little behind the legacy player, but he's getting up in age and can be my top backup for three positions or moved on for some cash. The depth is beginning to show as for the first time I let the bottom half go. The last few intakes have some high value players and the club is still lower rep so I think I'll be forced to sell for a while while trying to build high enough rep to keep these guys. 2028 Season Preview: A step up in expectations as both owner and media expect to avoid relegation for the first time. I'm hoping to more comfortably qualify for the Sudamericana this season instead of it being a final day scenario. I had a little more success the past season against the teams I'll be paired with so I'm a little more hopeful to make it to the group stage but I'd still call it 50/50. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vespertine Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Losing both of our starting centre midfielders and best players in pre season for free wasn't ideal, but the price I currently have to pay until the board will offer part time contracts. Interestingly, Vaduz are still in the Swiss top tier so it makes me think Braun (who is a Liechtensteiner U19) must have a fairly high PA ceiling for them to come calling. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
