First Team Fixtures

Unbelievable! With a win on the final day of the season against already relegated Naxxar sees us jump from 4th to 2nd and seal automatic promotion to the top tier! Whilst at the other end of the table Gzira suffer back-to-back relegations!

So that means that to dream of winning the Champions League, first we have to win the Conference League, then the Europa League, and then try the big one, sounds good, no?

If you actually manage that, I'll petition @darren1983 to give you your own special Hall of Fame category!

guys question.  how do you improve youngsters this FM. I have BA and A facilities but none of the youngsters seem to have improved...also those out on loan who played many games....zero improvement.

 

sorry if this has been asked to death already,

Im not a pro at this but for me it depends on the personalities of the players and staff .Check each player's individual training to suit your tactics, but also to improve key attributes. Try loans where they can play as a star, key player, regular starter and also keep an eye on the facilities they have.

Ultimately, the player may not have PA  and will not develop no matter how hard you try.

I've been trying to figure this out as well... Basically, I think the first thing is to lower expectations a bit since developing players is much harder in this FM than say FM21. Second, I noticed that my staff seem to be pretty poor at judging how good the players are at the intake, so many of a/b rated players don't develop, but then you usually get some surprises of 3* PA youngsters rising to first team level. So it's a lot of micromanaging and working out which players are developing or not.

Third, game time seems to be really key. So loans (even before they turn 18 for me), and first team as soon as possible. I try to figure out which players are developing on loan and in youth teams (check the progress bars), and start giving them some appearances. Fourth, personality seems to be key as usual, but maybe even more now because I'm finding it harder to change personality through squad personality, mentoring etc than in previous FMs. Don't have many ideas on how to do better on this last one, really, other than trying to sign players with low PA/CA but good personalities and good personality coaches - but this doesn't seem to have that much of an effect in my save.

Back at it after a season on my journeyman save. I'll probably alternate unless one really hooks me.

2028 Midseason Table:
3I83XhV.png
a six match losing streak early on had me a bit concerned, but as the table formed shape it was against the top 4 teams and two others that just weren't good. Haven't lost since then. Tinkered with tactics and have something totally different, but it seems to be working, and I got rid of the legacy keeper that gives up the softest goals. I'll ride it out with two young keepers battling it out to see if either can take the starter spot. 

 

2028 Youth Intake:
siBhBAc.png

Definitely could use a good keeper and striker, so hopefully they come in strong.

Finances:

team just makes no money. I'm not spending anywhere close to payroll either. It's frustrating as I can't keep coaches or get upgrades. Really need to get promoted to get some money.

SC Toulon Season 9 Youth Intake

download.jpg.2ab5b0810c36b74d0e9653c9833247f9.jpg

Look at this for another great Youth Intake. Some variety in nationalities as well with South Korea, Canada and DR Congo being represented.

image.thumb.png.be5f8f7b513bb12e1c117746c5e26065.png

Annoyingly cos of the terrible finances at SC Toulon I wont be able to sign half of these as they all want £100 per week and I can only afford £55 per week.

Here are 2 of the players I managed to tie down to a contract and they both look very good.

Laurenzo Raynaud(YP64) - 16 Year Old French GK

image.thumb.png.f65206a3f3f8e7b96085dc540302abe1.png

I managed to get Raynaud signed up to a youth contract as I just about had enough in the budget to offer him what he wanted.

A very good GK already with some great attributes across the board with 15 in Handling, 13 in Kicking, 15 in Reflexes, 13 in Agility and a Fairly Sporting personality he should become a first team regular very soon.

John Ilunga(YP67) - 16 Year Old DR Congo Central Midfielder

image.thumb.png.20cc591eb462cba382f5058dc3e14504.png

Ilunga is another player I managed to tie down to a contract and he is another standout player who has a Fairly Determined personality. He has Excellent Determination, Bravery and good Work Rate, Passing and First Touch. He could become a very good central midfielder.

The DOF managed to sign quite a few of the best prospects luckily.

Facilities: The 22.4 update meant …. drumroll …… a youth facility upgrade! So we’re back to excellent and everything else is maxed.

This got me excited for my Slovenia save. So far 5 months in and I haven't gotten the option to upgrade Youth facilities above Excellent....Maybe by the end of the season something will appear? If not I'll be making a fresh ticket. Damn this is frustrating.

Yeah I think I might have jumped the gun a bit with my excitement... Basically we upgraded back up to excellent but 6 months after that was completed there is still no option to ask the board for a new upgrade, which is unusual. I'll wait a few more months in the game and go back to that bug report I guess.

Manning cemented a starting spot after a great preseason. East came into the side halfway the season and provided a lot for us.

Smith-Chamberlain is not really a lower league type striker, but his first season has been promising.
