September 2025 - MLS - Western Conference

A mix of injuries, fatigue and internationals got us two more losses.

And with the loss against Austin, we bottled the Supporter Shield.

MLS Playoffs 2025

 

In the East there we got a strong NYRB and Inter Miami.

Also Philly is always a tough one.

 

We will play the winner of Salt Lake or Montreal, which should be easy.

Kansas is the scary team for me here.

[Cheez3y]

 

And its Real Salt Lake.

 

Kansas is out with is good.

In the West there are the big 4 in the semi.

MLS Playoffs 2025 - Western Conference - Semi Final

Amazing performance from big match Alfonso Salas secures us the conference final.

[Cheez3y]

 

And its Seattle!

This should be an equal game.

 

The other Conference will play their semis at the same time we play the final.

MLS Playoffs 2025 - Western Conference - Final

Another brilliant performance by the entire team.

 

Onto the MLS Cup Final!

[Cheez3y]

 

And its the proably biggest game you can get. NYRB is such a solid top team in the save.

Always in the top 3 in the East and  always top 5 in the Supporter Shield.

 

Let's go!

 STOLE 

Well...I fixed the headline.

We played pretty meh compared to the previous playoff games.

But sometimes...if your luck is in your luck is in.

End Of Season Review 2025

 

 

We won the regular season, the confrence final and the MLS Cup in the end.

The season was not perfect with the bottle job of the Supporter Shield on the last day and the quarter final exit in the US Open.

 

 

 

 

What a team we had in the end.

We found here a team with only one striker, 3 good CBs and no left back.

 

We took the scraps or gifts from Inter Miami...Maja, Duncan and for the first part of the season Heber helped a lot.

We played the trade game really really well, probably our best season.

 

Also the resurrection of from Simone Zaza helped. Suddently midtable Italian side what him back.

End Of Season Review 2025 - Stats

 

Well...we did this one in less then 365 days.

 

[Cheez3y]

 

No emergency meeting this time.

Job is done in Minnesota.

And this save goes into another pause. Or maybe its finished, idk yet.

 

The real goal of the save was that I fully learn and understand the MLS system.

I would say Im on 98%. 2% are the things I never saw or missed. 

 

I was trying to show almost everything you can do and try to explain the mysterium "MLS".

 

Couple of things helped me a lot, this one I like to share:

 

1. Excel spreadsheet

Its nothing special, but it helped to figured out the contracts types and situation.

It will be the toughest thing to understand and the first thing you probably will f*cked things up.

 

2. Squad View

Always seen the cap impact and contract status is key in my eyes. 

Especially in the offseason, when you build/re-build the team.

 

3. Super Draft

The Draft view is a bit meh and iffy. Things you cant put together so I created a new view.

 

On this one you see the scouting rec and CA/PA stars, once the scouting is completly finished. Most likely on Draft day.

All you need to do it switch between my view and the General Info, since you cant add the positions to this one.

 

4. Registration

The registration view is the most important one in my eyes.

Simple and not overloaded.

The most important part is the "Contract types".

Ty.

It gettin a bit stale, because the AI isnt that good.

Ofcause I could add rules to the recruitment, but this will only stretch it depending on the RNG.

 

Maybe I will do one more before FM23 drops.

But for now, Im off to a challenge, which hopefully works.
