He might be Polish.

Could be, although I think the name sounds more German. At any rate, I think a 2nd tier German team should have more pull than a 2nd tier Polish one...

After failing to connect with the save and the project in Turkey, I decided to start in Hungary. Kaposvári Rákóczi Futball Club is the chosen one to bring back the mighty Magyars.

Beira-Mar – Season 15 – 2036/37

1764147573_ResultsBetweenDecember-February.png.c25704dc21eac720095390fefc545ddb.png

I knew that things were not going well when we were being badly beaten by the likes of Santa Clara by 3-0. How we managed to pick up another draw against Porto I have no idea, but for the first time in this entire save, I started to feel helpless as the manager of Beira-Mar, not knowing just how to stop what felt like a never-ending struggle to avoid being dragged into a relegation fight.

900187862_TableAfter25Games.png.9e238cd180c9b07c141195af3bdb30fe.png

Sporting are the current league league leaders, so being smashed 4-0 by them is not a concern to me. Our freefall towards the relegation zone is. We have not felt like a good team for a while now, and have at times felt extremely lucky to even be part of the top flight at all this season. How useful that good run of form early in the season has turned out to be after all.

If you wish to see how badly we were doing against Sporting CP, feel free to watch the latest video. I'm starting to think that this might be the last season I do of the save for a while.

Squad | Transfers | Finances

This season was much harder than our first at this level. And it was not unexpected. We lost our leader in defense, and also our best playmaker, so with two of the key players of the squad gone it was bound to be problematic. The start of the season was pretty horrible, as we lost 6 in a row and were dead last at a point. I had to make some slight tweaks to the tactic to not be as dependent on the players in the roles of the the players we lost. It slowly started to come together and after the winter break we went on a bit of a run, granted a lot of the opponents were lower table teams, but still. We climbed up the table and eventually settled in the lower part of the upper half. I'm more than happy to stay here for the time being, as we are making money and improving things as we go.

DFB-Pokal: We beat Seligenporten before we lost to Bayer Leverkusen in the 2nd round.

A lot of improvements this season, both facilities as well as junior coaching and youth recruitment. I also finished the Continental Pro license so that part is done. Next season we should also start playing at our new stadium, so that should be a nice happening.

Notable youth players:

Almedin Abdulahović 23c - Through the season he improved a lot and were part of the first 11 at the end. Will probably play a lot next season.
Hassan Sesay 24a - I have some doubts about him, mostly due to his Jumping Reach. I really want my centre backs to be dominant aerially. But he is talented.
Jakob Dorner 23n - I really didn't rate him when he came through, but kept him due to him being Ambitious. Look at that speed! He will be part next season. 

Youth intake:

Still quite poor intakes. I hope the upgrades I'm getting will help in the coming season.

I'm getting defenders, but they are not much improvements to the ones I've gotten so far.

Beira-Mar – Season 15 – 2036/37 Youth Intake Day

736682013_Beira-MarYouthCandidates.thumb.png.07feaf3d6817e7056e2b4e90bed5277e.png

So our latest youth intake has arrived and some of the players look like they could be top prospects for the club, which is very ideal for us in the long-term.

Newton.thumb.png.7f67f1d75ee1fc635162b9d10a3348ce.png

The first player and perhaps the most exciting of the young talents is Newton, who can play in 3 different positions up front and is either footed. A very versatile option to say the least.

1326151018_VtorTavares.thumb.png.0d55237c6b87efc3dd7c35a520bd40ba.png

Vítor Tavares is a full-back who could be very exciting if we develop him properly. He's one of many options with great potential ability, but not great current ability. At least we have options I suppose.

1414310042_ArmandoJnior.thumb.png.843b5dab76399d8c302e7cb8920ae93d.png

Armando Júnior is a winger who needs to work on his mental and technical attributes before I can even consider him to be good enough to even grace the first team. Yet another option on the wings is good though.

796636163_FlorentKouao.thumb.png.93b20caeb69801a45b1842dcd14bdcb6.png

Going to be honest, I have no idea why we had two really exciting full-backs, but he's not tall enough to be a CB. Where do I even train this guy?

1995395531_RicardoRosinha.thumb.png.302d95c8ea2f280110965258e489dd41.png

Now this guy is an annoying player. Is called a CB, but he's truly a full-back on other wings. He needs a lot of work if he is to be a CB, including his heading and jumping reach. Surely he's a full-back, right?

So my latest video shows my latest youth intake and more players who are under 4.5 stars in potential ability. This is probably going to be my last season in this save for a while as I'm no longer enjoying doing the youth-only save with Beira-Mar.

I'll put my Garbarnia save on hold. I got a bit bored of the Polish league and wanted a different environment. So I started a new save and decided to do what I wanted to do for a very long time: a youth only journeyman-save. I'll come back at my Garbarnia save for sure. But I'm really looking forward to this save.

I'm a bit bored of Slovenia and fancy giving Andorra a go.  For those who have played there before (@The7Striker @XaW others?), how long does it take to get an academy.  I'm sure I read updates on here from someone failing to get an academy for ~7 seasons once and they ended up binning the save - but I think that might have been a different nation.

I'm not sure but in some databases, some teams from second tier had already a (small) academy. i know i had one last FM.

My first intake came in season 2026/27 at Jenlai.  You can see my story here.

Give it a go.  Andorra is a lot of fun.

I'm planning on using your list of clubs that recruit foreign youngsters and go with the Andorran team that recruits Portuguese youngsters - if I can get them.

Forgot to do this for 2025 & 2026

2025 10 (+1) year Reunion:

3 players retired with no history

25A - 121 starts with 136 goals conceded from 25-35. 28-30 was first choice. Left for 50K in 36.

25B - 201 appearances with 42 goals. First choice backup AML/AMR.

25C - never played for us. Left in 29 on a free and has banged around as a back up in first and B divisions.

25D - 52 appearances with 17 goals. in 29 a Saudi team came in and met his 925K release clause and he has gone on to be a  productive looking starter there.

25E - 65 appearances with 3 goals (DR). Left in 28 for $3M to Colo Colo. He's since gone to Brazil and Mexico currently starting for America.

25F - 84 appearances with 10 goals (MC). In 29 Universidad Catolica came in for 1.3M and he's gone on to be a regular starter there.

25G - 175 appearances - 8 goals (DLC). Off in 33 to Colo Colo for 1.8M where he's been a regular starter. 

25H - 0 appearances for first team.  left in 35 for 7K currently in lower leagues of Chile.

25I - 183 appearances with 51 goals (AML/AMR). Still a starter for us.

25J - 1 app with 0 goals (DL/DR) - Left in 28 on a free and is banging around lower leagues as a starter.

25M - 0 first team appearances, but 70 on B team. Left in 35 on a free. Hasn't caught on and is currently a free agent.

25N - 35 appearances with 0 goals (AMR). Left for a B Division team for 22K in 32 where he's stayed as a starter.

25P - 0 appearances. Left in 28 on a free. Bounced around in lower leagues, but until 35 was a starter. 

 

Without a doubt our best class to that point.

 

2026 10 year reunion:

6 players retired with no history

26A - 110 appearances with 13 goals (MC). Left in 32 for $2.1M to Colo Colo (this is a recurring theme)

26B - 194 Appearances with 61 goals (AML/AMR). Regular Starter for us still.

26C - 71 appearances with 40 goals (STC). Left in 30 for $1.5M to Universidad Catolica (the other recurring theme to develop). 

26E - 251 appearances with 11 goals (DC). Regular starter still.

26G - 135 appearances with 8 goals (DL/DR/DC). Initially a regular starter but has since been more of a B team player.

26H - 192 appearances with 106 goals. The superstar player from my last post. 

26I - 1 appearance. Sold for $650 and has stuck in the B division. This is the player that came out as gay. 

26M - 106 appearances with 2 goals (DR/DC/DM). Served as a reliable backup until shortly before posting this. 375K to a First Division team.

26N - 1 appearance. left in 29 for $200! Currently playing in lower leagues.

26O - terminated youth trial. Still kicking in lower leagues.

 

Another very strong class that is still serving the team well. Back to back true golden generations.

It really depends of the DB. Some with only 2 tiers, you already have some teams with an academy. If you use the one I used (one that says with real rules), you have a 90% to grab Jenlai. If so it will take you a while to grab an academy maybe once you get ECL money.

Lusitans, Pas de la Casa and Sporting d'Escaldes were not active ( so no promotion for them)

I'm thinking of doing a new save in the future and I'm complied a list of nations I'd want to manage in as a result of the newgens who were in the top 3 of the world awards and where they came from. So far I've gotten at least 21 countries to my list.

I suppose I should be asking this question, but has anyone do a YAC save in Mexico so far? Since this is my current list of nations that have produced newgens that have made it onto the World awards so far.

693764369_WorldAwardNewgenOriginsAfterSeason15.png.9ede966a8849b01d8303edd7a0d2fdb4.png

As you can see, I've given myself a lot of options so far, on the chance that I'd like to try and do a YAC again once I finish this season off with Beira-Mar.

Beira-Mar – Season 15 – 2036/37

218413251_ResultsBetweenFebruary-March.png.be47bc29befed16cb4ce27fbca440b4a.png

Another poor run of form where we only won 3-0 against Estoril Praia, but losing the other 3 of last 4 games since the beginning of February.

1450188560_TableAfter30Games.png.43a54bed1434fb4736a20974380e6c0b.png

The league table looks terrifying honestly. We have 4 games left to play, but we need to avoid the relegation playoff zone. With Estoril and Santa Clara breathing down our necks, I know that we need to improve or else we could go down.

The latest video shows how we did against Famalicão and also showed the contract negotiations I did with all of the youth prospects that turned up in the latest youth intake.

Hi all, I actually came up with an interesting idea that might be useful for our challenge (if such a thing doesn't already exist). There are a lot of mangers who play in leagues from all over the world and know the clubs inside out. How about making a list of clubs in lower leagues that we could potentially take as affiliates in our challenges? I doubt that each of you would look for a club in Poland besides Lech or Legia like Escola Warsaw, Radunia or other academies that have good facilities and can potentially produce interesting players for us? :)

End of Season Review

Season 2027/28

C. E. Jenlai

CE Jenlai - Wikipedia

Season Summary

A repeat of fourth in the league and a dreadful domestic cup performance was offset somewhat by our best European run to date.

Season Details

Europa Conference League - An exceptional comeback away to Armenians Pyunik Yerevan after we lost the home leg, sent us through to the second qualifying round before being outclassed by Georgian outfit Dinamo Batumi.

League Table - It was another fourth place finish as we consolidated our position.  We are still a long way behind third place, however.  It was rather pleasing to beat the eventual champions three times this season though.

League Fixtures 1 & 2 - After winning our first three league games, I was confident a successful season was on the cards.  What followed can only be described as a season of struggle.

Copa Constitució - An absolutely dreadful performance at home to second tier team F.C. Ordino, sent us crashing out at the first time of asking.

Pre Season Friendlies - With just three defeats in our fourteen games, it was ideal preperation for the new season.

Squad - The recent youth intake has strengthened our squad somewhat.

Squad Dynamics - Considering most of the squad are new to the club through the academy, this is surprisingly good.

Transfers In - None.

Transfers Out - None.

Youth Candidates - We enjoyed an exceptional intake, with left wing back Gabriel Solá YP28B18 looking like the brightest prospect.

Finances - Our European adventures ensured we made a profit and our bank balance has continued to grow as a result.

Key Players

Leandro Quinhentas - Our main striker was again one of our top performers.

Ignacio Herrera YP27F6 - In his first season in the first team, the teenage central defender was outstanding.

José Juan Costa YP28J26 - He has made the right wing slot his own after a string of impressive performances.

Juan Manuel Maestre YP28D20 - Our new starting right back has had an exceptional start to his career.

José Silva YP28F22 - The newcomer has quickly become a vital part of the team, playing in either central midfield or in the anchor role.

Next Season

We need to maintain a top half finish.

I've had issues this season so far, but I've done some changes and currently I'm on a 3 match run with the least sustainable unbeaten streak ever! :D

End of Season Review

Season 2026/27

FC Isle of Man

F.C. Isle of Man - Wikipedia

 

Season Summary

A good, solid year where we finished in the top half of the table.

Season Details

League Table - A decent enough first campaign at this level, though it is painful when you spent most of the season in the playoffs.

League Fixtures 1 & 2 - A dreadful run of form towards the end of the season saw the club drop out of a promotion playoff spot.

F. A. Cup - A home defeat to Brackley Town, who play in the division above, eliminated us at the second qualifying round.

F. A. Trophy - A penalty shoot out loss to Tamworth, who also play in the seventh tier, saw us crash out at the second round stage.

Northern Premier League Challenge Cup - Another penalty shootout defeat, this time away to Bedworth United from the league below, saw the club go out in the third round.

Pre Season Friendlies - We did lose five of our fourteen games though it was a pleasing pre season campaign overall.

Squad - We continue to get better and some players have really started to develop.

Squad Dynamics - It is good, which you would expect.

Transfers In - None.

Transfers Out 1 & 2 - So many players departed on loan to gain some much needed experience.

Youth Candidates - Striker Danny Paxman YP27A65 is the best prospect out of a terrific group of players.

Finances - We continue to grow our bank balance, albeit slowly.

Key Players

Freddy Anderson YP23A1 - The central midfielder continues to get better.

Stephen Hartshorn YP24A17 - Our best player is sulking because I rejected a derisory offer for him.

Fraser Hulme YP24G23 - Playing as a right back, he has once again been exceptional.

Colin Bennett YP25B34 - He was a dominant figure on the left hand side.

Jordon Torgersen YP26D52 - The Welsh youth international central defender was an absolute revelation, in this, his first season in the first team.

Next Season

I would love to challenge for a playoff place.

AS ARAPIRAQUENSE - SEASON 6 (2027)

Manager Profile - Transfers - First team Squad - Finances - Club Facilities

 

SERIE A

spacer.png

It is taking me an eternity to end every season - seasons in Brazil are long as hell and I've played 70!! matches. An excellent start of the season built the foundations for the best ever position for the club. We even fighted for Copa Libertadores qualifying, but an awful end of the season (1 win, 3 draws and 8 loses in the last 12 games) saw us drop to drop to qualify for Copa Sudamericana.

COPA SUDAMERICANA

spacer.png

spacer.png

An excellent run in Copa Sudamericana where I made it to semi final, where i didn't had a chance and lost clearly

CAMPEONATO DE ALAGOAS

spacer.png

spacer.png

I've become the dominant team in our national championship and won the third championship of the save

CAMPEONATO NORDESTE

Again an embarrasing performance - out in the second preliminary phase to a Serie C team.

COPA DE BRASIL

Out in fourth round after a narrow lose to same division team Ceará

 

 BEST RATED PLAYER - Jean Alagoano (7.51)

TOP GOALSCORER - Darlisson (30)

SAVE SUMMARY

Doing big improvements in facilities - just waiting for the quality to flow in. We will also have a new ground by the end of the year.

Sant Andreu – Season 6 (2027/28)

La Liga It kind-of felt like we got promoted too early but still, given our past successes I was secretly hoping to survive our first season in La Liga. Well, we were in for a shock. We just couldn’t buy a win, literally, it look us 13 games to win one and by January we were well adrift at the foot of the table. We managed to mount a late surge in March/April, winning 3 out of 5 games, but then our form tanked again and a 2-1 defeat away to Girona more or less sealed our fate. We still had a chance to survive on the last day, but we needed to win and Girona needed to lose. In reality, the opposite happened, so back down to La Liga 2 we go.

spacer.png

Well deserved, given that quite a few of our starters are still 3rd division standard, but now more and more of the team have developed into decent or good La Liga 2 players, so hopefully we'll be able to bounce back up in the next few seasons. We need it as we’re bleeding money now that the coaching and recruitment are maxed.

Players: Franco Egea 01f, Aarón Hontoria 01a, and Sergio Mulero were the only ones not out of their depth in their division, with Mulero scoring 17 and assisting 10, and Hontoria winning the European Golden Boy. Some youngsters are developing nicely, with Muhammed Badje 03b's progress meaning we finally have a rightback who can defend (too late for this season, though...)

Youth intake (preview): Wow. Jeez. Talk about a good intake. We were promised full backs and for once we got full backs. Plus two more players - Aleix Garcia 06a and Edu Colomer 06b - who can more or less go straight into the first team aged 15. This feels like one of those game-changer intakes, so let’s see how these lads develop now. It probably won’t be long until many of them are starters for us.

spacer.png spacer.png spacer.png spacer.png

Facilities: I put the TV money to good use by maxing out coaching, upgrading training and youth facilities, and ordering another upgrade of each. The youth set up is expensive, but given the intake this year it seems well worth it. Got a model citizen HOYD too, so plenty of progress off the field despite going backwards on it this year.

Transfers: just loans out

Beira-Mar – Season 15 – 2036/37 

270273941_Relegationscrapapproachesfinalbattle.png.2402ba8d6858544134ea77c3ffd95c64.png

We had been told that we would be in a relegation fight officially when we got this message, and I had hoped that we would be doing well.

 889551184_ResultsBetweenApril-May.png.f9a5e5dba4a3fad8c7b5cdba6e5b431d.png

Yet we've continued to suffer, and have now suffered 6 defeats in a row, and we didn't even feel like we could even be good enough to compete at the top level. We felt so out of place that it wasn't even funny.

1604640333_TableAfter34Games.png.e7de535790c38e978cc6167e079cbbb5.png

Yet by some miracle we managed to survive, because Santa Clara performed even worse than we did. We didn't deserve to be here, but yet here we are, in the top flight barely hanging on.

So how did it look in our last 4 games, well, my latest video reveals all, and it also shows just how deflated the end of the season had made me. I haven't felt so helpful in a very long time.

2037 MIdseason Review:

uzpdN5o.png

Doing as I expected and believe a top two finish is in order. In real good position to be repeating champions too. 

67n3XQe.png

I felt this was a good draw, knowing that Boca is a very good squad, a top two finish looked likely. What entertains me is the struggle against the bottom team which the other two crushed when they played. Off to the second round now and the match up is against a solid Colombian team in Junior, but one that I've not lost to yet in continental competition. I don't think this is the year to win it all, but definitely seeing progress towards winning.
