So does this mean I can spend my money on buying players now? And take an international management job if the chance came?

That's a big yes. You completed the challenge, so it's up to you what to do next with this save :)

Well, it's not an overstatement saying the tactical change worked wonders! I don't think I've ever conceded so few goals, since I rarely excel at defensively solid formations, so I've very happy it works. However, we built a lot on our forward play, and having Mark York 23a as a pressing forward makes him score a bit less, but it brings the wide players and the midfielders into play much more. Jones and Elystan Wareham 23f play rather narrow, but I have Hickman set to stay wider, so he overlaps so often and creates havoc for the defenders. I also have Arwel Torgersen 23k going forward, so we have 4 players around the box whenever Hickman crosses. Behind them Elgan Walker 24k and Zak Harding 23m work as a crocked double pivot for recycling possession and some deeper passes. Stuart Hayes 23b plays much deeper on the right to make sure the space left ahead of him is not exploited by the opponent. I've been a bit unsure if Osian Harvey-Davies 23i can play as a ball playing defender, but this season he did well and didn't lose possession much. In goal Federico Florean 23p has come leaps and bounds to actually be a goalkeeper I can trust. His spot was initially something I hoped to get improved by a youth intake, but his development from playing-time has helped him a lot. He used to make a lot of mistakes, but now he is looking quite good.

I finished the Continental A, and the board gladly accepted a Continental Pro for me, so it's being work on now. I hope we make a bit more money next season as we need to improve the club to get good players in. For next season we cannot play at Clywedog Park anymore, and now we will rent The Queensway International Stadium next season.

Welsh League Cup: We once again faced Guilsfield in the 1st round (3 of 4 years!) and this time we lost on pens.
Welsh Cup: We beat Penparcau, Llandudno, and Queens Park (WXM) before we lost to TNS in the 4th round. We did keep them to 1-0 though, even with a 49th minute red card!

A decent enough intake, but a bit low ability for my taste.

Daniel Berensztajn 26f looks like a promising midfielder, especially going forward.

Hope it goes through for you! I had my hopes dashed by a Japanese Tycoon in Belgium.

Thanks. I got a Russian Gem, maybe is a sign :D

Does anyone know why some U18 teams (in Austria) are in a league and some not ?

While on an early run of good form I was able to get a few upgrades approved. Form started slipping a bit before the Chile Cup break. Some of it was due to facing top teams in the league. Still letting in a lot of late goals to lose points and not getting some of our to gain points. I suspect I'll finish outside of Sudamericana, but clearly still in it.

Unfortunately our top striker refuses to sign so I had to cash out. He leaves in a month, and I'm not really sure how to replace him.

The strength of the class appears to be roles I need help in so that's good.

Not good for my Cape Verdeans in Portugal :) 

I've found that most players from Cape Verde in my Beira-Mar save also have a Portuguese 2nd Nationalities, so because they are also Portuguese, they can considered part of the Portuguese nationality prospect. Is that the same for your players too?

They get Portuguese as second nationality after a few seasons, but most of them only Cape Verde after intake. So i think the youth rating for Cape Verde is the most important one.

Nothing we can do about it :) it is still my ambition to achieve this challenge  with a team with only foreign intake players, never been done in the youth challenge topic. Didn't continued with Caley Braves two editions ago, Africanos is much much harder but i'm still loving it.
