Beira-Mar – Season 14 – 2035/36 

36916205_ResultsBetweenDecember-February.png.a2b79a20a295a22a552a09f847c0213f.png

So after we drew 0-0 against Chaves and were lucky to get away with even a share of the spoils, I knew that I needed to change something up again. So I found myself changing my formation once again. The change in formation had an instant impact, even if we were playing against sides in the lower half of the table. The change felt like it still needed to be done regardless.

With the changes we made, we are currently 19 points clear of the relegation playoffs and quite frankly, should be safe from the threat of relegation. It's a nice situation to be in honestly.

Still, the changes I made was simple. I went to a 4-2-4 formation, and I did at one point have a Deep Lying Forward alongside the Advanced Forward, but I've since changed that to a False 9, since the player who is in the role suits it more. I like to think, that this formation can be made to work, we just need the right players to do it.

I went over the results we had in my latest video and the reasoning for the changes in more detail in it as well.

2024/25 End of Season Review

We finish the season with five defeats in a row but we still survive easily enough. The massive shock is that Bantu lost just their 2nd league game in 120 matches!!

Got fired from Tyumen 7 games away from the end of the season. Gonna have to restart this challenge again, probably in South America or Mexico this time.


Edit: Apparently it's not  possible to play in mexico due to not existing promotion

So I gave up on Argentina. the lack of money was doing my nut in, plus to be honest Barracas weren't elligible for the challenge anyway as they were previously playable. Ah well.

I thought about going to tier 10 in England but taking Whitby from tier 6 was tough enough so instead I headed to Spain, loaded up holiday man and sat back and waited.

Lots of teams to choose from but one caught my eye straight away. So....

I had to design our kits. well, kitbasher did. They look pretty swish.

@Winski It's feels like you have always got pros in each intake that are great to go into first team. My youth doesn't develop so nice guess you have nice traning theme I just left it to assistant :D Maybe that is the problem.

Yes, that's right! I never leave it to my assistant. I use the same schedules as for my first team. It's a schedule from @crusadertsar, build for his Totall Football tactics. I used them in FM21 and now also in FM22, with great success! I also put a lot of time and effort in developing my youth. I choose the right position/role training, base on which attributes I want my youth player to develop in. And I weekly praise or criticize their training effort. I praise or criticize their performances in the U19 as well. Basicly the same as I do for my First Team players.

My  U18 team has finally gain promotion to the highest U18 league! In the last seasons they won their league as well, but then lost in the promotion final. This time they won! So that's nice.

And something more important: Polish football is growing! From season 2029/2030 we have 2 Champions League places in stead of 1. And for the first time a Europa League place as well!

I still use the same schedule too in FM22 and had great results at both Torino and Villareal. I also try to praise good training performances. It has the double benefit of improving morale (which is good for match performance) and improving training results (from my observations players develop better when they are happy). So when I see that the player is not happy about some aspect of his training I make sure to address it right away.

@Winski @crusadertsar Do you have link for that theme? I use assistant only for group trainings I take care of individual. I didn't saw option to prais training in u-18 only in first hmm

I actually did a little update to my "Total Football" training schedules recently. Not sure if @Winski saw it. But it's in this thread, on page 23.

 

Hope it works for you :)

You can recreate it and then save. Like what i usually do. Save one version (for lighter weeks with one or no matches). And the other for two match weeks. So then you just go from week to week and select the right schedule. 

Also i usually switch up the training for the day before the match. So if facing difficult opposition then might change tactical session into something that's more suitable for the match like defending. Or if it's going to be a side that parks the bus, might make them work more on set pieces.

2034 Mid Season Review:

After last season drawing half the games it's nice to see what happens when they're converted to wins!

XDf09WS.png

Early and disappointing exit. Was just one of those games where nothing went right and were knocked out early.

Some players getting some international love:

Beira-Mar – Season 14 – 2035/36 Youth Intake

68283658_Beira-MarYouthCandidates.thumb.png.5db470931dd6c37fdda5cc47a391ea23.png

So my latest intake has arrived and we managed to find ourselves getting more than a handful of players who have pretty good potential.

1088794957_NanaAdu-Gyamfi.thumb.png.aa590b2f65b2ac348125f2f8d2ab9995.png

Nana Adu-Gyamfi is the player with the highest potential apparently. Given he's a right-back who can play as a left-back and a centre-back, we have a lot of reason to be excited about him.

2125990609_QuiWeiliang.thumb.png.b8c816ac6f717f6d99fdc8a3c7f533eb.png

Qiu Weiliang is our 2nd Chinese player to have come through out intakes in two seasons, and I have no idea what is attracting them to the club, but I am not complaining in the slightest. He looks good.

1641360851_AlexandreLoureiro.thumb.png.7690af55842a4a8fa3e516f094c3de04.png

The player that I am the most excited about is Alexandre Loureiro, who can play as a CB, DM, CM and RB, but I aim to play him as a CB mostly because he's got 16 heading and a lot of other exciting attributes.

186632206_RafaelMarado.thumb.png.1fdb7eb6d17dc0a9c94e1271aa167cdf.png

Surprisingly, we also picked up Rafael Marado and he's also a CB who has a lot of potential, so really I am excited about him as well.

1600258463_JorgeSantos.thumb.png.62bdfdba59ef14464cec77241c2e9b43.png

We did also get Jorge Santos who is more of a winger than an inverted winger since he is right-footed only. He does give us more options on the wings.

1571776870_TsvetomirKarabelyov.thumb.png.698f59aa3bf2d95ead85d10117bae055.png

The player that I am excited about though is our new Bulgarian goalkeeper, Tsvetomir Karabelyov. If he can reach the potential that we believe he can, then we should be sorted for a while. The fact that CSKA Sofia also sent this guy over to us is pretty nice.

The latest video goes over more of the players that came through the youth intake as well, so feel free to watch that as well.

No surprise we lost big to Bantu as they finish just shy of 100 goals scored. A 5th place finish is still very good for us.

1161847550_ResultsBetweenFebruary-March.png.7da4d165521f532dd55a47503e83f6ee.png

When we could claim our survival against the team that is considered to be the best team on paper, I knew that was something I could brag about. So I am. We beat Tondela to complete the league double over them and secure our place in the league next season. We're feeling pretty good about ourselves.

1573333670_TableAfter29Games.png.2ac0fb78e5b83c74ff8efb77fa5ba67e.png

In the end, we claimed it with 5 games to go. 20 points clear of the relegation battle. It doesn't even look close at this point, it's our most comfortable season to date.

The latest video goes over our recent games and shows how we secured our victory over Tondela, because despite the scoreline, it was not that comfortable in the end.
