Alejandro here is another player to watch in my opinion, played in the Welsh Cup Final and he's looking quite good, from this years intake and we're working on his pace right now.

WhiteCat33 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Spoiler to my season but @jepze I've found the same bug in the database that you have, it looks like the promotion playoffs aren't correctly implemented. It should be a 2-stage playoff with the two Division 1 teams playing each other and then the winner plays the relegation playoff team from the higher division. Unfortunately, it looks like the Serie 1 team just gets to play that second match so even if I beat Young Boys Diekrich I still can't get promoted. I've looked back a few years in the save and multiple times your situation has happened. Guess we gotta get good and earn that third trophy! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gb2003 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I loaded about 30 times and don't get a team from my birth city Mersin. Fun fact the team is 1st in the 4th tier in turkey. I play this year the challenge because I always struggle in the transfermarket when I play other challenges. It takes always so long to get the right players and I don't play further the game. The challenges aren't my main saves and I still play a multiplayer save in fm 21. So this is the perfect challenge for me because I only have the focus on youth.

Luxembourgo Porto Season 4 2026-27: Luxembourg Division 1 - Serie 2 (Tier 3) Intro & Club | Season 1 | Season 2 | Season 3 | Matches | Squad | Transfers |Facilities | Finances | Supporters Competitions: Cup: 2nd Round defeat this year Spoiler League Our change to a 4-5-1 this season was extremely successful lead on by our first Club Legend & starting striker #9 André Costa. I seriously don't know how he does it with those attributes but 80 goals in 80 appearances is phenomenal. Flipping the script from last year we set ourselves up for the Promotion Battle, with a fairly easy end of season schedule. While we performed perfectly due to Costa scoring 6 goals in 4 matches, our +25 GD was three shy of Belval and so they got the 2nd place guaranteed promotion slot. Then we lost the impossible playoff (bugged so only the Serie 1 team advances), so we will be back in Serie 1 next season. Spoiler Youth Academy: Youth Intake Preview Spoiler Youth Intake Very good intake, even still w/o a HOYD! I’m taking the vast majority of this intake and will be clearing out most of my U19 squad. Will be an expensive season next year, but well worth it. Spoiler Best Prospects Spoiler Pick is obviously the RB Rui Carlos Taborda, which spells trouble for our club captain and one of 3 remaining OG players: Bad personality but a FK specialist with good decisions, workrate & teamwork is welcome My VC and one of the other OG players is my DLP who I don’t really have a quality 2nd choice for and this tiniest of midfielders (5’ even!) might do the job And for our LM we get another fast Cape Verde player, but this guy is a penalty specialist which we sorely need! Might need to upgrade those mentals though… Finally with how poor our striking core is, if this guy has consistency he could easily be in the rotation Best XI Spoiler Youth Products Highlights We are still a part-time club with literal bottom level facilities, so improvements are scarce in these players. The one exception is my GK, which presents us a selection question for next year. Currently Rafael Benchimol 02i is better technically and improving but he's inconsistent and balanced. Pedro Goncalves 03b on the other hand is Spirited, Evasive & Reserved, and Consistent. Not to mention he's set up to become a captain. The two big negatives is he has way worse handling & Reflexes, which won't ever surpass the starter. Spoiler Really everyone else in the Starting XI at this point easily can be replaced if a better player comes through the intake without me actually debating. Staff Hiring We found a HOYD!! It only took 4 years, and he really isn't the greatest, but he actually has 1* Reputation due to his U21 & Caretaker Coaching experience. Since I still don't have a U21 coach, maybe he can keep increasing that reputation by winning the reserve league. We also found our first AssMan who is an 18-year-old youth-reject from another LUX team. He's fairly professional, which was enough for me. Spoiler Club Infrastructure We did JR Coaching this Summer which is up to Average now (the notification is still bugged form last year switching the text of Adequate and Average) Spoiler Coaching Badges Due to our great form the Board let me finish the badge we started over the summer, start and finish our first Continental bad and start the Continental B this season. We are looking good! Spoiler Thoughts It's actually a good thing to stay in Division 1 a 3rd season as it will let me bring up the new talent we got and actually makes the GK swap a possibility as I wouldn't risk that if we were promoted. Will be a good clean-out under-performing players summer and see how our fresh faces do in the fall. Hopefully I don't murder the cohesion this time...

Popular Post Neo_Geo Posted November 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2022 Season Review Spoiler A tougher season than last year. An injury to my only keeper (after Mitrovic left on a free) ruling him out for 3-4 months meant I had to rely on a Top Talen from Season 3s intake who was still 15, he played 14 games in total but our form definitely slumped as a result. Matteo Roos (Elite2) left for PSG for a club record fee and at least I've been able top get the training and youth facilities agreed to be upgraded twice in one season as a result. The midfield is definitely poorer without him however two defensive minded midfielders (one a DM the other an MC) from this years intake as Elite talents should hopefully stabilise things in the long run. Boris Mandli (Elite2) won the European Golden Shoe award with 37 goals in 37 starts in the league amassing 55.50 points in the process (nearest was Lautaro Martinez of Inter who got 48.00 points). He was simply on fire for us and without his goals we'd have been close to the bottom of the league (for spells we were in the relegation group positions). I don't expect to hold onto him much longer as he's already started conversations about playing in a stronger squad, however when I went to talk to him about it he dropped it without any further actions required (but this has now happened twice). With Roos I felt he was going to go in a huff (which based on other people's experiences morale is a big issue in this edition) so I let him go and I think I'll have to do the same for Mandli. I'm actually shocked Mandli didn't make the NxGn this year but I had 3 other entries (Nuzzi once more, Pereira and Beretta) The social media element continues to grow and I'm now attracting more families to matchdays. So on to Season 5 with the approach being the same, attempt to get into the Europa League proper for our financial boost to get further upgrades and try to remain in the Championship Group places after 22 games and anything else is a bonus. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo_Geo Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Going to be a hard season 5 for me. Nuzzi was out of contract, no interest in signing and whilst my facilities are not maxed I need to get funds still so I offered him out for a straight £10m (the asking price he was happy with). Inter and Juve offered it up front and Dortmund with £6m up front £3.6 over 12 months and 30% of profit. He's joined Inter. In addition to this I have Dortmund nearly triggering Beretta's £5.75m release clause and Chelsea nearly doing the same with Capone's £7m release clause. The season hasn't started and my squad is going to be decimated to the point where I think relegation could be a possibility if I lose these players (the back-ups are no where near yet). This is the first season we are predicted NOT to finish last, second last now at 500-1, so losing Nuzzi is a huge blow but if the others follow suit I'll have lost the best talent in two windows 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only ever ends one way, he's got 2 seasons left so I'm looking at one season left with him tops. This season is absolutely make or break for the save.

Its was a lie! Unbelievable! We got promoted! The season started with four players retiring and an equal bunch wanted to leave the club due to the lack of depth. To fix that problem I promoted a few youth players with the hope that they could do a good job and what a job they did. Georgi Kazakov was rock solid in CM with 31 apps in the league, along side with the 14 apps, Vladislav Benchev and his 12 goals. Atanasov and Asparuhov also did a good season and that helped us massively. Finances wise we are okay, despite being in the red a few times. The board pump around 220k and myself being greedy, pushed for my Continental C licence, along side Youth Recruitment and Youth Coaching improvements. Not all is good news because my training facilities got worse, a little bit. Kupa NA Bulgariya - Another solid run. After beating Sayana, we did another funny thing, this time to other Lokomotiv, Sofia, but we lost against Cherno. Under 19 - Im starting to hate Sozopol. Just 1 point take our dream away to win the U19 Regional Group SE-BS. Youth Intake Another good intake with a lot of potential. Shame that personalities arent the best ones but nothing remains other than work with it. Next Season: In the big boys league things are going to be different, so lets fight to avoid relegation.

Popular Post the_hdk Posted November 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2022 Kaf Sin Kaf Season 35/36 (13) - Süper Lig Players / Transfers Decent year. Sadly again no treble. We lost this time the cup final on penalties. . But oveal decent season. Our fifth championship. We dominated the league. We did decent in CL but lost in R16 to Liverpool. Sadly we lost OZCELIK to min fee of 25 mln release clause. ERCAN replaced him despite not being quite ready. KABA was sold as he didn't want to extend his contract and was replaced bu YILDRIM who is shaping out quite nice. His rookie season ended with him being called up for Turkiye and making his debut. GULERYUZ and CINELI also made their debut for Turkiye. Sadly for the EURO 36 only three players made the team (out of initially 7 selected). BAS the star goaly, YALCIN the rock and debutant GULERYUZ. CL was won by Man Utd in a repeat of the final from last year. This time SCHREUDER won and they ended the Man City winning streak. First regen won the Ballon d'Or. LEBRETON is a product of Paris SG youth. As he couldnt break into the first team at age of 21 he left to RB Lepizig. In the summer he made a transfer to Man City for 132M. Record sale of OZCELIK. 25mln! to Hannover (GER) Not the best intake. Only 3 players had the potential above 2 stars. But atleast we get two elites! VURAL seems like a decent talent. Quite fast and determined. Already priced at above 6.4mln promises high potential. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Barnsley Posted November 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2022 FC United of Manchestaaaaaaaaaaaaaa - The Red Rebels Season 6 2028-2029. Was a good season in the end, A tough baffle but with ten games to go we managed to find a streak of wins using 4-2-3-1 which propelled to safety. Had previously been using 5-2-3 and 5-3-2. Had to make a change as I lost my best defender to Wycombe, for 10k - he is now worth £6m and i couldnt do a thing about it he just wouldnt sign a new contract. It is difficult to get contracts sorted in this league, all part time and only minimal terms so alot of youth players do tend to slip on by without being able to do much about it. I really do need to get out of this league. Youth intake was a bit fun, i got a polish, albanian, guinea, cameroonian and an austrian within my intake in April. nice bit of a miture. not really anyone notable to help the team, 1 or 2 squad fillers who hopefully will improve to use. Anthony Connor - the manchester born hero he is basically my whole club. He has made the game enjoyable so far for me. but I am not sure now how long i can keep him - he is way too good for this league. his goal scoring record is obscene. 222 goals in 225 games and still only 21. Progress sheet below, slight improvements constantly - junior coaching and recruitment now exceptional which is great. Stagnated on the facilities however due to finance they just won't upgrade further. But tbh i think i am at a decent enough level to be able to make it work. It has been a long hard 6 seasons to date, alot of work gone in and alot of stress - but also alot of reward. Once we can finally achieve professional status i think things will change alot with development. I Wish i could stop conceding so many goals! but whatever games are fun!

Popular Post Daddy Posted November 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2022 2025/26 Season Review: Nice improvement for the 3rd season. Some younger players stepping in and really helping move the team forward. Came close to overtaking 2nd a few times but them dropped a few points to stay in third. Started a bit of a purge this year. Finances are worse than they appear (there was a takeover with a loan), and all these guys were never really going to be more backups. Youth Intake: Top heavy intake. No one ready to step in yet, but not far off from pushing for spots most likely. 2026/27 Season Preview: I expect to start pushing for promotion this year.

Popular Post libbyshuss Posted November 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) Season Summary Again we were favourites to go down so to have the season we did have was unbelievable! We took our strong finish to the season before into the new season and went 7 games unbeaten which set us up nicely. Whereas before it might have kickstarted a plummet down the league we were much stronger this season and picked up good results throughout. A finish with 4 straight wins placed us 5th and into the promotion play-offs! We got through the preliminary round thanks to home seeding, but then went out to Venezia for the very same reason. I'm not complaining - the aim at the start of the season was survival so to make the play-offs was just a massive bonus. Can we keep it up next season? Players Endri Ejupi 26H - Albanian striker who did really well on loan a couple of seasons ago , so I gave him achance last season. he was crap. I gave him the first 9 games of this season, where we were brilliant and only lost once. He scored zero goals with an average rating of 6.56. Absolute toilet. So I experiemented with more people up fron but by christmas it was clear that nobody was any good. Then it hit me. Why even bother with a striker? So I went 4-3-3-0 and after 2 games injuries presented Ejupi with his chance at redemption. He was an absolute revelation as a second striker behind nobody! ended up with 15 goals! my toilet striker! Manuel Bevilacqua 26B - Midifielder and absolute star of our team. Only two years left on his contract and he's already making noises about leaving. In reality there's no way I can keep him. He's Serie A standard already. Biggest decision of this save so far is going to be when to let the lad go.... Samuele Binda 25A - Poor old Romagnoli, my star keeper. Knackered his spine last season and put himself out of action for a year. So Binda came in, after an impressive loan spell, was brilliant, won young player of the year, and is now by far my first choice keeper. Romagnoli is now fit and on the bench. It's hard not to feel sorry for the lad. I might cash in on him tbh, for some reason my youth intakes keep throwing up decent keeper prospects. Youth A 5 star excellent intake promised! And it came in, but with only 3 elite talents! Gah.... The pick of the bunch:- He could well be the perfect replacement for Bevilacqua, but will need a couple of years to build up those physicals. Finances yeah....... so we were losing money, but no more than I ever have done, when we got taken over, with our debts of 6m cleared! We carried on losing money when I got this message:- I didn't think things were that bad! Anyway, this new board seem supportive of me and far happier to throw money at the clubs problems than the board before. Which suits me to be honest! Career We'll still be around 20th in the prediction league I'd have thought so survival is again our main priority Edited November 19, 2022 by libbyshuss 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JLAB Posted November 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2022 Motor Lublin - Season 3 - Winter Break Heading into the new season, we were considered the favourites to be relegated once again. I knew from last season and the season we had gotten promoted as champions that things could be changed by our tactics if given the chance to do so. So to try and counter that, we are using the £3M we have in our bank balance to upgrade all of our facilities, and making sure that our training facilities were as good as they once were was important for our progression. So when I was able to convince the board to do further upgrades to the training facilities, this time for £1.8M, I knew that I had the board backing me big time. The results though, speaks for themselves. We have enjoyed our best ever start to a season in the Ekstraklasa so far, and things are continuing to get better and better. The only negative I really have is the fact that we were knocked out of the Puchar Polski by Jagiellonia, but other than that, it's good really well. Then you realise that we're actually also fighting for European football in just our 2nd season in the Ekstraklasa, which is a massive overachievement from what was expected from us. The top two sides are who I expected to be, but everything else? I didn't see this coming. The board are delighted by my work, and offered me a 2 and a half year deal to keep me at the club. I probably have a job for life right now. Though the youth intake preview is the most exciting thing of them all. I don't think I've ever seen one look this good, and it was the reason why I'm showing the bigger version of this instead of the smaller version. I had to show it in all of its glory.

Popular Post grff Posted November 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) Royale Union Tubize-Braine: 2024/25 Season Review Two promotions in two seasons at the start of the challenge. We did it the hard way though by having to go through the play-offs to clinch a place in the top flight. Some really encouraging stats from a good number of the squad. Top scorer was a 17yo newgen who is steadily improving all round. The youth intake for 2025 saw a few promising youngsters coming through. In particluar a keeper and defensive midfield. No transfers out, however, we had a first choice centre back retire before the season started and we've got our first choice keeper leaving on a bosman. I'm hoping our newgen keeper can fill the gap. I'm expecting the new season to be a tough one as we've probably been promoted too quickly for the standard required. A pre-season game against Charleroi saw us lose 6-1 at home Season history...

RandomGuy. Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Starting this with the club who play at my local park. Letham FC in the Scottish Midlands League (6th tier). Capacity of 250 (apparently). The pitch is just an astroturf pitch with a fence around it, and the changing rooms are in a portakabin next to a childs play park down a path. Me and my 10 season ticket holders are expecting a great time. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Winski Posted November 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2022 I'm not really feeling the Czech-save with Viktoria Zizkov. So I'm going back to Poland! No Garbarnia Krakow this time, but a 'falling giant': Polonia Warszawa. I really like managing in this country, so I'm giving it another go. I made these kits for season 2023/2024. It's the same sponsor as in real life, but the kits are a bit different then the real life version. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SkiIIs Posted November 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2022 Season 5 - 2028 - Expansion League Opening Stage - Players are really developing now and being noticed by the teams in the First division. We're arguably the best team in the league now on paper and so we spent the majority of the season in first position. A few draws towards the end meant we finished second. We cruised to the final where we met our rivals Correcaminos. Away we drew 1 - 1 where they scored in the 86th minute to draw. We got our revenge at home where Aquino scored a penalty in the 92nd minute to win the Opening stage. Spoiler Closing Stage - we started like a house on fire winning the first 9 games. It gave us a big enough lead over our rivals. The remaining 8 games we only won 3 and went into the finals with a bit of a cloud above us. I was thinking, if we could win the closing stage we could avoid having to play a final and get automatic promotion after winning the opening stage. QF we were matched up with At. San Luis who were relegated from First division last year and were hitting their strides. Up first we were away and gave up a 3 - 1 lead to draw 4 - 4. At home we scored first meaning they needed two goals to knock us out, they scored 3... Spoiler At San Luis then knocked out Morelia on league position after drawing 1 - 1 in the two legs, then knocked out UdeG 3 - 2 to get us in the final play off game again whilst my team got a nice couple week rest. Unfortunately our only recognised GK got injured in our rest pariod! Final Playoff: Spoiler had to debut our 16yo GK , enough said really. We sold our first player of note where we managed to keep him for the remainder of the season before he leaves. He wouldnt resign without asking for a 1m release clause so this offer was above that and also managed to stick in a 50% next sale clause in there as well. Spoiler Our YI preview wasnt the best with only 2 A players but the intake pleasantly surprised me. Getting really lucky with the personalities with our top prospects two years in a row now. Figueroa is probably our best prospect, love a resolute determined player. Has good heading, marking and tackling attributes for a 15yo and lots of 8 and 9 stats that will bolster up quick Got our second player poached, i think this one could have been a good one: 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Redknapp_13 Posted November 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) Hapoel Ra'anana Season Review Season 25/26 Table - Squad - U19 Squad - Transfers - Finances After a dominant season we go straight to the Top League again. After last years relegation, we have been smashing it this season. Very early it was quite clear that we would fight for promotion again and after a great start, we never looked back. It helped, that Ofek Melika (who we kept on a month to motn contract, but couldnt play him) suddenly was happy again and wanted to sign a new contract, so we have a GK who is actually good again. Might improve our Chances of staying up this time. Muhamed Awadwi was scoring goals for fun. 44 this season. Melika, Awawdi, Sirkis and Bar-On are the non academy players on which we still rely on very regularly. The best academy players who became regular starters are a few. Barrett 25A, David 24B, Elkaslasy 24A, Avi Ben-Haim 24H are the best of them Spoiler In the Top League we tried some tactics but this season we went back to our successfull simple press with some control and it worked wonderfully Spoiler Youth Intake This years intake was unfortunately not the best, despite upgrades in Coaching and Recruitement. Three players stand out with. The two Elite Talents and Goren with a Driven Mentality. Happy to see a DM, since this is a position I would like an upgrade Spoiler Next Season I hope to be more competitive than the last time we have been to the Top League. Some of the intake players improved quite alot so we should have a better squad with more options. Wouldnt be surprised if we go straight down again.

Popular Post Bartrcm Posted November 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) As I again stopped my save in Belgium due to the financial bug, I started a save in Germany. And I have some unfinished bussiness with the team that I have chosen. I had a youth save with them in FM21 & FM22 and reach in both versions the Bundesliga, but never got into Europe with them. So I hope it goes better this year. Energie Cottbus - 3.Liga - Season 2023-2024 Predicted: 14th (no picture) Final position 6th We started the season very good with 2 wins. During the second month we had a bad period with no wins in 6 consecutive games, and we feld down to the 14th position. A small change in fielded players change our luck, and we went on a run of 13 games without a loss. From that moment on we were battling with 6 teams for the promotion places. We stayed in the promotion places almost the rest of the season, but with 4 games to go we again had a bad run with 3 consecutive losses. Before the last game we were in 6th position, but only 2 points behind Hansa Rostock who were second. As Dortmund II and Bayern II can't get promoted we still had a change on getting promoted or getting in to the playoffs. We needed a win and at least 1 team above us had to loose points. We won our game against the already relegated Werder Bremen II. On the other fields it was a roller coaster of emotions. With 5 minutes to go we were promoted as Hansa and Osnabruck were drawing. 2 minutes later Osnabruck scored, and we were down to the play-offs. And in the 93th minute Hansa Rostock also scored, leaving us with nothing. A very unfortunally end of the season, but the only team to blame is ourself. We lost to many games during the season. But overall I'm very hapy with the season, and I hope to get promoted next season. Games 1 Games 2 Games 3 Cup; Didn't enter the cup Transfers: Only 2 outgoing transfers Youth intake: We had an OK preview, and the actual intake was even better than the preview. And most of them have pretty good personalities.I signed 10 youngsters. Alexandru Rad (YP1a): AMR Nouhoum Kayetano (YP1b): DC Robert Kröpfl (YP1c): DR/DC Daniel Unversucht (YP1d): MR, but will be retrained as I don't play with MR's Luca Mai (YP1e): MR, but will also be retrained. Finances: we lost around €1.8M, so no upgrades. But the board decided to build a new stadium. We don't have the money and the new stadium will be much smaller than the current one, so I don't understand why. This also happened in FM21 & FM22, so I think this is a bug.

Popular Post benrollo Posted November 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2022 Sacked in Belarus! I didn't grab a screenshot because I was sad, but ultimately the board wanted us to avoid relegation despite them and the fans expecting us to lose every single game! Belarus has beaten me for now, but I shall return. But first - and speaking of returns... We're back to Serbia! Brodarac only came up once in about 30 sims so I thought I'd try them. They have a tiny ground (500 seats), but do have average facilities so hopefully we can hit the ground running. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo_Geo Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) So I just had Mandli and Pereira both came to me stating they were going to consider their options at the end of their deals and managed to get both to back down by stating that as a club we have ambitions but we need them to be part of it to achieve those and BOTH of the players said they would stay put as the club is ambitious (Pereira even ditched his agent as a result). I've now got £22.7m in the bank so I will have a decision to make in the summer regarding Mandli, offer him out to get some money in for him or let him go at the end of his contract for nothing. There is an A grade forward in the youth intake preview so maybe wait and see what they look like (if its obvious they are a wonderkid I think I'd sell Mandli but I doubt I'd ever be that lucky!). EDIT: Now have £18m in the bank following an agreed training facilities upgrade What would anyone else do in this situation? Here's Mandli just now: Edited November 20, 2022 by Neo_Geo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zdnap Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Hello everyone, I was thinking of startingthe challenge again, but I ended up with a potentially challenge ending problem... At the start of the season, we had a player, out of contract, but still at the club. I thought nothing of it, he's at the club, I can just extend his contraact from month to month to actual part time right ? I checked the transfer center, we had nothing ongoing, so nothing to cancel. And then at the end of the season, the Season Review announces that we had a new arrival......... I checked the transfer history, and he was signed on June 14th so season 22/23. But with NO CONTRACT ! How can you sign a player with no contract ? So the question is : Can I continue my challenge with that player, or is it over ? Spoiler By the way, my newgen are also counted as free transfer on the end of season review timeline, but not in the transfer center, that should be OK right ?
