Another great Youth Intake with us getting a lot of Wingers in the intake.

Here are some of the Elite Talents in this intake.

Gwendal Chevalier(YP51) - French 16 Year Old Defensive Midfielder/Ball Winning Midfielder

image.thumb.png.d2ce8b39cab0fb035ead3dfbed732bd6.png

A good Defensive Midfielder who has good Jumping Reach, Work Rate and Natural Fitness and has a Fairly Loyal personality.

Samir Aubry(YP50) - 15 Year Old French Central Defender/Defensive Midfielder

image.thumb.png.c0fa5d06918a4c33bd88509c5450e09a.png

Aubry has excellent Bravery and decent Balance, Jumping Reach and Natural Fitness and has a Fairly Profressional personality.

Warren Nsandi(YP53) - 16 Year Old French Left & Right Full Back

image.thumb.png.14e2268674ea1923c070088c8bccb87c.png

I am excited about Nsandi with excellent Bravery, good Aggression and Stamina and decent in a few other areas.

He also has a Fairly Profressional personality so hopefully he will turn out good for me.

There are other talents but I will mention them if they start doing well.

SC Toulon Season 7 Review

download.jpg.6f4b1f754ac346b44d85bcbc4a76c8c6.jpg

Let's just say this season was a disaster with us only getting 8 points the whole season. I tried loads of different tactics but the players just weren't good enough and I got relegated back to the French National League.

My Best Player

Kheireddine Toual(YP35) - 17 Year Old Algerian Striker

image.thumb.png.099e20e975e7b6f85d3646e9cb0758a3.png

The only good thing to come from this season is finally finding a striker capable of scoring a few goals for us and at only 17 years old the future is bright. Luckily I got him to sign a new 2 year contract. I am hoping we can bounce back up the Ligue 2 next season with Toual getting the goals for us.

Transfers

We managed to get the board to Improve the Youth Recruitment to Exceptional so at least that will help us keep producing talented young players.

There isn't much else to say unfortunately as it was such a poor season.

Sometimes you got to go a step back to go two steps forward.

End of Season Review

Season 2023/24

VV Drachtster Boys

VV Drachtster Boys - Club profile | Transfermarkt

 

Season Summary

An fantastic season where we dominated from start to finish to secure our first promotion.

Season Details

League Table - Rarely troubled, we cantered to the league title and promotion to the fifth tier.

League Fixtures 1 & 2 - We were undefeated until February, such was our dominance.

Friendlies - We enjoyed a decent pre season campaign as we only lost three games, all to much higher ranked opponents.

Squad - We are getting better as the youth intakes improve.

Squad Dynamics - After such a successful season, it is rather good.

Transfers In - None.

Transfers Out - None.

Youth Candidates - Striker Sheraldo Deira YP24A17 is the best prospect out of an impressive bunch.

Finances - The high youth costs meant we made a loss this year and have slipped into the red as a result.

Key Players

Dean Groen - The midfielder was good, though not as good as last season.

Jelle Kuperus-Schokker - The teenage winger continues to get better.

Jöel Wagenaar - It was another magical season from the forward, scoring an impressive 28 goals in 25 appearances.

Robin Hosé - The teenage Curaçaoan is equally at home in central defence or central midfield.

Pieter van Santen - Comfortable anywhere across the back four, the eighteen year old defender was excellent.

Next Season

We should definitely be capable of the top half, though I am not sure we can go higher just yet.

FC Novara

Italy

Serie C (Tier 3)

2025/26 (season 4)

Season Summary

Our best season yet, even if it did just end with mid-table respectability again. But the side is getting younger and things are looking really encouraging for the future. In the end we qualified for the play-offs comfortably, got through the first round due to being the highest seed after a draw only to lose to Triestina who, to be fair, were a way better side than us. 

26leaguetable.JPG.093a2c9775fa294ae9f9e425e7dcf9c8.JPG

 

Players

a fantastic season for our Albanian striker with 30 goals, compared to only 14 last season. I'm gonna need him for a couple more seasons at least as there's nobody yet at a level where they can challenge him for his spot.

26bestXI.JPG.4adc04c635e03b3a9a445b8d83a1ea96.JPG

Radaelli 23A is looking like a real prospect so obviously he's decided he really doesn't want to sign a new contract with us. 1 year left to see if I can persuade him other wise, or find a nice price for him.

 

Youth

We got nice youth set-up for this level but we are paying for it at the same time. So was it any good? Yeah, lots of potential, but not a huge amount of current ability. Nobody close to being first teamers for at least a couple of years and I have no idea which player is more likely to make it. They're all just ok really!

55youthpreview.JPG.13f4b431c310c44fa0e5730dec2fa9c1.JPG

Loads of elite talents for the actual intake, which is lovely. But no obvious future stars. But maybe a good set of squad players?

26youthintake.thumb.JPG.5d822a306759f776923815557b97b5a6.JPG

 

Finances and Upgrades

well we lost a bucketload of money. I've managed to take 2.5m and turn it into -1m in only 4 seasons! with very little show for it! so probably no upgrades for a little while

Almost certainly mate. I think every newgen has been either Portuguese first or second nationality.

I don't normally post updates of my FM21 save, except for the odd youth intake gem / transfer but I felt I had to post this update. After 9 hard fought seasons we have finally gained our first (unlikely) promotion! We finished 6th and somehow manged to win 3 consecutive away games to clinch our spot in next seasons national league. Don't know if we have the team to survive tbh but we are certainly up for the challenge!

A long drawn out promotion playoff, which we ended up not having to be a part of as we got promoted automatically! Next season we're in the 2nd tier!

Things Go From Bad To Worse

The finances at SC Toulon are not good at all and after I got relegated my budget basically got halved. So because of this I can't get any of my players to sign new contracts and I can't even offer any of my players from my Youth Intake for this season a £100 per week to keep them. The most I can offer is £55 so I have only been able to sign a few youth players.

image.thumb.png.74b2495dca7615fb9bffd6ad39a48d12.png

Here are a few of the top prospects

Didier Ndong(YP61) - 15 Year Old Gabonese Advanced Playmaker

image.thumb.png.604e760cb4b862a93fc818bccc3ef853.png

Ndong's key attributes are Determination, Vision, Composure and he has a Spirited personality.

Daryl Vladere(YP62) - 15 Year Old Reunionese Striker

image.thumb.png.644b4b9715db4c9bf49245c501f78087.png

He has some good overall decent attributes in Finishing, Technique, Determination and Flair. He also has an Unambitious personality but hopefully I can change that with some good mentoring.

Gael Chiron(YP63) - 15 Year Old French Central Defender

image.thumb.png.c2f9cd61e02397876a07a5b5576746e4.png

Chiron has a Fairly Determined personality to go with his key attributes in Determination, Teamwork and Bravery. I feel confident in him becoming a sold centre back for the club.

There are a few other prospects but I will just mention them if they get good.

Talking of players becoming good I got a few more of my previous prospects that are doing well this season. 

Here is a few of the previous youth prospects.

Olivier Granelt(YP7) - 20 Year Old French Attacking Midfielder

image.thumb.png.6e7c6952aa9091bf7f2008ad2cba47e3.png

Granelt has become a first team regular who has done well providing goals and assists. He has excellent Vision and Balance and has good Technique and Composure.

image.thumb.png.65fb2e2ccb1468cf7cd2e47fb77016b2.png

Folly Tchadjobo(YP27) - 18 Year Old Togolese Deep Lying Forward

image.thumb.png.f28c5f07d511f202bdf3e3c43ed2c286.png

Tchadjobo has done well this season and hopefully will fill the void for the recently departed Toual. 11 goals this season so far. He should finish with about 20 goals for the season and is only 18 years old. The only concern is I can't get him to agree to a new contract cos I just don't have the money to do so. It is 50/50 whether he will be here next season.

Greetings. I am still on FM20 but I want to try this with Cheratnovo in Russia. Is that fine? They are in the FNL in 2026.

I'm pretty sure they only became eligible in FM22 as they have just been relegated from the second tier so are unplayable in the vanilla dB. That said, the recent patch means russian teams can't compete in the UCL (I think) so that would now rule them out. @darren1983 @XaW will know.

I don' think they are eligible, but I'm not sure. Have they at any point in the save been in the playable leagues? If so, then they cannot be used. In FM22 no Russian teams will be able to be used, of course, since they are banned from Europe.

F.C. Lusitanos - Season 7 (28/29) Review

An excellent season where we managed to finish in a comfortable second place in the league, but a long long way off Inter.

7 year recap

Spoiler

I like to take a look at the virtual world being created in my save to help immerse myself.  This is the reason I produce a lot of the extra tables, some of which I present in my updates.  Anyway, I am going to take a look at what has been going on in Andorra and particularly with Inter, who seem to have move well ahead of every other team.  I am also keen to see what is going on with the Andorra national team and Portugal (as our club, like several in Andorra, has strong ties to the significant Portuguese population in the country).

Inter Club d'Escaldes - Inter have won every league title during this save (that's eight titles when including the first holiday year).  With their consecutive titles in the 19/20 and 20/21, that makes 10 successive titles, putting them just three behind FC Santa Coloma.  They went unbeaten in the league this season, as they did a couple of seasons ago.  This means they have lost just one league game in the last 3 seasons (81 games).

They are the first team to turn professional in my save and this has led to them offering wages far in excess of the rest of the league.  Interestingly they haven't yet moved to a new stadium of their own, so they're still using the national training facilities in the capital (Andorra La Vella), with a capacity of 236.

This season, for the first time ever for an Andorran club, they made it to the group stage of a European competition (the conference league).  This has helped in boosting the leagues reputation.  I suppose I should be grateful, but I'm not as they have beaten us convincingly just about every time we play them.

our head to head records and last 15 competitive games:

image.thumb.png.605b9f750692bb34abbf628fc0f47af8.png

Andorra - Andorra have not surprising not managed to qualify for the Euros or World Cup and their world ranking has dropped from ~150 to 187.  They have managed six victories since 2021 (all against either San Marino, Malta or Gibraltar) - 2025 was a particularly lean year where Andorra lost every game and scored just twice all year (10 games).

Andorra do have one player, a real player called Iker Álvarez, who plays in the Spanish second division. Ildefons Lima remains the most capped player and top scorer for Andorra. What a legend!

image.png.93d88b9aa05ea6fb4664635b44e4d517.pngimage.thumb.png.4f184f68a25bf889d748a669e92182b1.png

Portugal - currently 7th in the world rankings, having fluctuated between 7 and 13 for the last seven years.  Portugal reached the semi-final of the 2028 euros and the quarter final of the 2024 Euros.  They reached the semi-final of the 2026 World Cup and were knocked out in the group stage in the 2022 World Cup.

Their two top players are real players (Ruben Dias at Man City and Joao Felix at Chelsea).  The highest valued newgen in the national team is Alvaro Ferraz, a defender who joined Liverpool for £37m in 25/26 (3+ years ago) from Rio Ave in Portugal.  He has 28 caps at the age of 21.

image.png.3081e9a7e83a5830141cd82f162fe75f.png

League: The league has been dominated by Porto and Benfica, with these 2 teams finishing 1st and 2nd in all but two seasons, where Sporting and Brage were able to push into a second place (28/29 was won by Benfica with Porto second).

Italy

Novara FC

Serie C

 26/27 (season 5)

Season Summary

Weird season. what looked like being our worst season yet suddenly turned into our best at the end. We were inconsistent befre christmas but just consistent enough to stay in the play off placs. Then we went on a 12 match winless run that pushed us much closer to the relegation spots than I'd have liked. But then we won 5 of our last 8 matches and stole the final play off spot right at the death!

27leaguetable.JPG.462e499df3bc43756324c09d01bfd092.JPG

Our final game of the season was a 3-0 defeat away at Triestina, who had also knocked us out of the play-offs last season. So guess who we were playing in round 1 od the play-offs this season? Yep!

27playoffresults.JPG.e75a637d56898ad1d6a89dae9c2009d7.JPG

All the way to the 3rd round! And we were really unlucky against Pordeone. But it's the furthest we've got yet!

 

Players

The team is coming on! they are young but there's some really, really good players developing here. If I can keep hold of them a promotion push can't be too far away.

27bestXI.JPG.f4677b6842b73584aa34fb2ff6b2f57c.JPG

Gianlguigi Coppola 25A is the star of the team. He still has 2 seasons left on his contract and wants to leave - i told him for 550k, he can. we'll see what happens there

Youth

An ok preview but an amazing intake. Only two elite talents but I'm fine with that when one of them is amazing!

27youthpreview.JPG.c6c1fc299185e1e12dc82ff09564baab.JPG

27youthintake.thumb.JPG.349537b3e430982da211b237da13c47d.JPG

Fiorenzo looks ridiculously good. I immediately signed him to a 3 year contract but realistically someone is gonna come in for him. Look how good his attriubtes are at 15!!!

27fiorienze.JPG.e8960bd711ba2999830012936f9ee385.JPG

Straight into the first team from next season!

 

Finances and Upgrades

So we ended the season 2m in debt when the chairman decided to retire and sell up. So we were in the middle of a takeover war and it didn't look too good for me!

27takeoverbattle.JPG.ee74d246bc57d156130327d788e75a63.JPG

and, yep, the dude who wanted to replace me won....

27takeovereep.JPG.ff26614491ef6b7aaa679ef75a80cae0.JPG

and yeah, he apparently really did want to replace me. But he was thinking about it.... I'm the Steve Bruce of third tier Italian football!

27phew!.JPG.2699d7fa5797bbff39090ff987afae5f.JPG

Debts cleared and our balance stands at 500k now. And i'm still in a job!

Greetings. I am still on FM20 but I want to try this with Cheratnovo in Russia. Is that fine? They are in the FNL in 2026.

As others have said I think they only became eligible on this years game due to being in the leagues in real life and now with the changes to Russia in the latest update Russian sides don't play in Europe now so again makes them illegible.

We started so well, unbeaten in the first nine matches and up to 4th in the table but then we didn't win again for our next eight league games, we still survived and surpassed expectations though so no need to worry.

A bit confused. Why exactly are they ineligible wrt playing in Europe? In FM20 they can play in Europe.

EDIT: Never mind, it was also explained in the other posts. I read yours first.

I'm pretty sure they only became eligible in FM22 as they have just been relegated from the second tier so are unplayable in the vanilla dB. That said, the recent patch means russian teams can't compete in the UCL (I think) so that would now rule them out. @darren1983 @XaW will know.

Ok this makes it much clearer. Yes I think in FM20, they were in the FNL. I had managed at Wil from 2019 to 2026 so I thought taking them over may fall into this. No matter for me, I see playing with them as an enforced youth academy challenge but not within the rules of this particular youth academy challenge due to the playable leagues and my reputation being built at Wil.

End of Season Review

Season 2024/25

Amsterdamsche FC

Amsterdamsche FC - Wikipedia

 

Season Summary

A season of overachievement where we somehow qualified for the promotion playoffs.

Season Details

League Table - An eighth place finish is way higher than anyone could of expected.  It enabled the club to qualify for the promotion playoffs.  Thirteenth placed Telstar were promoted!

League Fixtures 1 & 2 - When we lost, we lost big.  However, we won more than we lost so had a huge season of overachievement, despite a poor second half of the campaign.

Promotion Playoffs - A narrow defeat over the two legs to FC Emmen by one goal to nil eliminated the club in the first round.

TOTO KNVB Beker - Very disappointing.  We had a glorious chance to reach the third round but lost away to VVSB, who play at least one league below us, in a dreadful performance in the second round.

Friendlies - It was a decent pre season campaign, playing plenty of bigger clubs and we only lost twice.

Squad - We are not good enough to perform at the level we achieved this season.

Squad Dynamics - After such a good season, this is looking great.

Transfers In - None.

Transfers Out - I lost two highly rated youngsters on free transfers as they refused to sign new deals.

Youth Candidates - It was a reasonable intake with Belgian advanced midfielder Alain Garnier YP25A1 looking like the best prospect.

Finances - We made a profit this season, so we have a healthy bank balance.

Key Players

Tim Linthorst - The veteran central defender had his best campaign in years.

Splinter de Mooij - Our best player who wishes to remain an amateur.  He was exceptional throughout the season.

Segun Owobowale - Comfortable on either wing, he set up quite a few goals and was a regular goalscorer too.

Kenny Teijsse - Playing at either left back or on the left hand side of midfield, the vastly experienced campaigner was good enough.

Tuana Özdemir - The Turkish goalkeeper played better than I expected.

Next Season

I would be happy with just being safe.  I don't think we can repeat this year.

I have always wanted to try Malta as Ta'Xbiex @Makoto Nakamura.  On your map, where are they based?

Is Malta fun?

I'm loving Malta, way back in FM16 I started a journeyman at Xgħajra Tornadoes. The players are rubbish but it's been so well researched and almost every player in Malta has a face which is even better, there's youth leagues with promotion & relegation and a youth cup as well. I can't fault it!

I'd also be interested in Mdina Knights, purely because they're the club based in the area with the smallest population (Mdina, 243.) And the fact that it's a fortified city and the former capital of Malta!

What a strange, strange season. We spent the start of the season in the relegation zone but then going into the final match we were up in 3rd, and we stayed 3rd after the match, it's just a shame that other results didn't go our way!

That's the file! The only other file I use is one to make every team use it's long name instead of it's short one.

Excellent, I might load it up and see if anything is particularly interesting. Might put Belgium on hold, if I find something.
