libbyshuss Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 congrats @the_hdk! a bit of a damp squib with my update but here we go anyway Sweden - Division 1 (Tier 3) 2026 (season 4) Season Summary First season in the third tier! and it was a nice surprise at first as we started really well. But then we had a really dodgy period mid-season and found ourselves pulled into the relegation spots gravity field, which was a bit scary. But just as it started to look really bad we put a few good results togetherĀ and finished strongly. So a nice safe first season, a few youth players blooded in the first team as well, what more could you ask for? Ā Youth Yet another 4 star preview and another intake full of 4 star potential youths! it's actually a bit silly how many I have now, i might have to do a stocktake and kick a few out. Crazy, really! No idea how good any of these will actually be! it's all a bit silly really! Ā Finances and Upgrades They won't let me upgrade my training facilities but the board are more than happy to chuck money at our youth recruitment! Can't complain too much, we're now way above any other club at our level. Hopefully it pays off! Ā Career Still making small strides forward!

russ the womble Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Nicely done @the_hdkĀ - one day I hope to emulate! The Table Spoiler We finished 5th in the normal season: But in the championship play offs, we had a good run of form. On the final day we would have gone above RB Salzburg if they had dropped points. Unfortunately they won 3-1 away from home. Third is more than acceptable, and qualifies us for the Champions League next season. The Team Spoiler Moved Lohse to predominantly the LW spot, and both him and Ortiz got their fair share of goals. The Talent Spoiler The Intake Spoiler Another fairly poor intake! The Stats Spoiler The Bank Spoiler The Fans Spoiler Big increase in followers, hopefully means better crowds next season, would quite like to move out of this cramped 11.5k stadium or expand itĀ :P So Champions league - I assume we'll go into the early qualification rounds. Maybe I can squeeze home a champions league trophy before winning the austrian league? 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The7Striker Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) Racing Club de France Football 2023/2024 Season FinancesĀ Ā FacilitiesĀ Ā TransfersĀ Ā SquadĀ Ā Championnat National I thought it would be fun to revive this fallen giant slowly, it turns out we have some solid players across the squad, some on the wrong side of the 30s, but still. Despite the slow start, we started to pick up pace and the 3 points to move up the table. It's fun to see such a tight table, it's mental that in the last month we could finish in 5th or be champions. Dijon was the most regular team, so they take the title for 2 points. Financially we are fine, although we lost a lot of money during the season, I hope that Ligue 2 can help us now that we are turning professional. The only upgrades that I got was my National C and B licence. A few red flags in the squad. CB and GK are the critical areas that I hope YI can help us with in the near future or things will get a little sticky. Ā Coupe de France -Ā Reaching coupe 9th round it's a very good outcome, Valenciennes was to much for us. A word for AS VĆ©nus, a Tahiti club that travel all the way for a big defeat. U19 Team -Ā They only played friendlies this season. Ā Youth Intake Spoiler Ā Can't really say much about this Youth Intake since we are semi pro. This two look very interest but we will see how they develop. Ā Ā Edited March 17, 2023 by The7Striker 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkouv Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 OperĆ”rio dos AƧores ā Season 4 (2026/27) Liga 3 I thought things would get better this season, but instead they got worse. My older playersā attributes dropped off a cliff, and the youngsters were not improving much, so the quality of our first 11 was far below what is required in the league. It took us 11 games to get our first win, and things didnāt get much better from there. In the end we went into the relegation playoff, and were deservedly relegated. Ā To be honest I am looking forward to playing a division down next season (I did not get sacked), this transition to youngsters is never easy to manage, and doing it in Liga 3 was definitely too much for us. I just hope we donāt get relegated again! Players: All dreadful, but our only remaining original XI player of a decent age, Tiago Oliveira, did ok. A few of the youngsters are starting to develop too, so there is hope. Youth intake: Another good one, just look at these personalities! The future is definitely looking bright, as long as we can get there. Ā Facilities/finances: Our board decided to splash out on a stadium upgrade (1,496 seats), the main effect of which was to switch our finances to āinsecureā. No transfers of note, but Benfica U19 bid for one of my youngsters while I was holidaying between games, so he might actually be good!

DazRTaylor Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) End of Season Review Season 2028/29 Macclesfield Season Summary A season of disappointment as we dropped in the league and were dreadful in both cup competitions. Season Details League Table - We seemed to take a step back this year as we dropped into the bottom half of the table once more. League Fixtures 1 & 2 - We had far too many winless runs and this cost us any chance of a top half finish. F. A. Cup - Darlington, who play in the division above, were too good for us on their own patch as we crashed out in the fourth qualifying round. F. A. Trophy - We went out at the first time of asking, in the second round, as Chester, who ended up going up by winning the playoffs, proved too strong as we went down at home. Friendlies - We had the now regular mixed bag of results during pre season. Squad - We are improving, I just wish the players had some sort of consistency. Squad Dynamics - Despite our struggles this season, this is surprisingly good. Transfers In - None. Transfers Out - Quite a few youngsters were allowed to depart on loan to gain some experience. Youth Candidates - Norwegian central defender Lars C. Eliassen YP29C52 is regarded the best prospect out of a decent intake. Finances - We are still in the black though we did lose money once again this season. Key Players James Berry - Our left winger regained some of his old form as he proved to once again to be our best player. Zion Dixon - Our main striker is continuing to play ok though his goal returns are diminishing. Harry Freedman - The versatile Scotsman enjoyed one of his best campaigns with the club. Harry Petterson - The midfielder proved to be a valuable player for us this season. Alistair Wolfenden YP28D37 - The best player to come through our academy to date, the striker is being trained for a central midfield position, a role he is fulfilling with some aplomb. Next Season I would love to get back into the top half of the table.

_JHTB_ Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) Ilkeston Town - Season 2 - Vanarama National League North - 4th Transfers -- Squad -- League On the transfers out front, as I had anticipated Jadel Musahnu left this summer (just before league reset so missing from transfer screenshot). We did get Ā£10.5k compensation for him, but it did leave us way down quality wise at centre back. Our second season started off reasonably well we were unbeaten in our opening 7 games, but we were lacking quite a lot on the goal front. Remaye Campbell having an awful start to the year. Following that we were quite patchy, we looked fairly strong but then just went on losing streaks where we looked awful 4-0 loss, 5-1 loss both just around wins and draws. The second half of the season however, we did pick up some consistency, in fact, we had the joint best record for the second half of the league as we started to score a few more goals and cut out the heavy defeats we had been on the end of. In the end we ended up with more points than we had last season to secure a playoff position. Our 4th placed position you could argue was deserved as it aligned completely with the xG table. Our second season successively in the playoffs ended at the same stage though. This time we conceded a 90+4 equaliser in the playoffs before losing our on penalties, a poor end to an otherwise great season. Youth Intake We had managed to upgrade on youth recruitment and junior coaching this season and our youth intake on the whole was more impressive than last season. Conor Miller 2 ā Miller went straight into the first team as a squad player but in truth he is not far from being a regular starter. We had confirmed our playoff place quite early so he was going to get some starts but picked up an injury. He looks very well rounded though so whilst he will start off as a back up midfielder, I probably expect that by the end of next season he will be first choice. Zack Overson 2 ā Overson is in similar vein to Miller, he comes into the first team as a back up but should look to force himself to be first choice by the end of next season. He has some work to do physically, but for a left back at this level his technicals look like he could be a very strong fullback for us. Albert Cotton 2 ā Cotton lacks in pace, but he does look to be a pretty decent option up front. I will be hoping he gets faster but he will be now back up in the strikers position next season. Unlike the two above, I donāt really expect him to claim the first choice spot for his own nect season. Overview In the off season, the board of their own volition increased our youth level, to level 4. This meant we got an under 18s team which was helpful and allowed us to move players there who were better suited. I thought the loss of Musahnu would be key in preventing us repeating last season and reaching the playoffs, but we got there regardless. Next season Iāve got to aim for the same again, I am not anticipating any of our best players to leave which means our squad will be at least as strong as this year. Key Players Charlie Wakefield ā We had a tough time in the summer trying to retain him, but eventually he agreed to stay on and had a great season for us. 11 assists in the league was a large contributor to our great season yet again. Montel Gibson ā Whilst Campbell was incredibly inconsistent (6.74 rating despite 25 league goals) Gibson played consistently well on the left wing. Arguably I should be playing him as striker but he contributed well with 17 goals and 9 assists. Josh Wells ā Picking up the mantle as our best defender Wells had a good season for us. Consistent throughout the season alongside a rookie centre back partner in Browne 1. Ā Ā Edited March 18, 2023 by _JHTB_ 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkouv Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 OperĆ”rio dos AƧores ā Season 5 (2027/28) Campeonato de Portugal Group D Wow, what a tough season. I truly hope we have reached the bottom of this challenge, I donāt really fancy many more seasons like the last two. We continued our relegation form at the start of the season, and, in October, sat bottom of the league where 5/14 teams get relegated. But then the youngsters started being less dreadful, and we picked up a few close wins, then some more, and eventually we secured safety with 2 games to spare! Players: Almost all youngsters now, and one of them (the one Benfica tried to buy last year), Juvenal Catojo 03a, seems a real talent. He got 11 assists in 26 games from attacking midfield this season. Youth intake: Not as good as the last two, but better than Iām used to in this division, it will take a while for these to develop though. Ā Facilities/finances: Insecure finances, wage budget cuts, all that stuffā¦ Transfers Quite a few Ā£0 bids from Div 1 & 2 teams for our players during the last summer, of course this just unsettled the players and didnāt do much else. And the great HOYD I got last year was gone (poached) after 3 months.

Neo_Geo Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Ā Ā Ā So I think I found an Austrian club I am happy with as it has a good backstory.Ā Salzburger AK 1914 Founded in 1914 Salzburger AK are the oldest club in Salzburg and before the second world war were the most successful team in Salzburg. They have won the Austrian First Division once in 1985 but after being relegated from the second division in 1988 they have never made it back up........until now! The challenge remains the same but we also want to become the top club in Salzburg once more. Our fierce rivals are the original SV Austria Salzburg and given they formed after the original club renamed to Red Bull Salzburg,w so I think we will inherit the rivalry with them as well (even if the game doesn't have this at the moment). StadiumĀ Sportzentrum Mitte - Sportunion BuiltĀ 1921 CapacityĀ 3000 Season Ticket HoldersĀ 436 Training FacilitiesĀ GOOD Youth FacilitiesĀ GOOD Junior CoachingĀ ADEQUATE Youth RecruitmentĀ AVERAGE BalanceĀ Ā£427,952 Squad 24 players with a very healthy blend of personalities and apart from DC and DL there are a good number of players in each position. Let's go! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post fries Posted March 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2023 Premier League 2043/44 (season 21) Season Summary WE DID IT! The challenge is over. We won the league on the last day of the season! The league was very close. With one game left, we were number 2, two points behind Aston Villa. However, Aston Villa and Man City were facing each other in the last game, while we played a later relegated Stoke team. Ā Villa and City draw their game! And as we won our game we also won the Premier League! Ā As we won the Champions League last season and only needed to win the league in order to complete the challenge I played my rotational and reserve players in the Champions League this season. We did okay in the league phase and ended up number 11. But we lost in the first knock-out round to Rennes. We also won the Carabao Cup and UEFA Super Cup. Carle played well with 29 goals. He scored all his goals in the league this season. Smith also played very well from the midfield with 5 goals and 13 assists. Breakspeare did well in the goal. Both Savas and Jankovic had their breakthrough on the first team. Patrick Walters will retire after this season. He is a real South Shields legend who has played, scored, and assisted at every level since he was in my youth intake in Vanarama League North. He has played 629 league games. He was a regular starter from 15 years old to around 30. He now also managed to win both the Champions League and Premier League. I think I will show you a few of the best players of my League winning team Smith was not on the GOAL50 list. However, he is the 3rd-best player in the world according to another award. Carle was awarded the best U21 player in the world. He also won the best player and best young player in England. He was also the league topscorer for the third season in a row. A few other important players are Breakspeare, Pinkerton and Howourth I only had one player on the NXGN list this season. Savas was moved from my youth team to my first team midseason and played regularly in the second half of the season. The youth intake preview looked really great. 5 stars and 5 As. The intake was fine with 2 elite talents and a handful top talents. Bohea looked most promising. No transfers of significance. Finances and Upgrades After the Champions League win last season the club's reputation was raised to five stars. This meant that I was allowed to upgrade the youth facilities! Before this season the training facilities were downgraded. However, we upgraded them again just after. Next season I am not sure what to do next. I think I have 3 possibilities. Maybe I will try out a normal save, maybe I will try a new YAC-save, or maybe I will just continue playing with this team. 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

russ the womble Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) The Table Spoiler A solid 3rd placed finish, so into the Champions League qualifying round next season. The Team Spoiler Not too bad.. room for improvement though. The Talent Spoiler The Intake Spoiler Quite happy with these three. Most of the others let go. But I did need some midfield reinforcements and another striker, so quite decent. The Stats Apparently overperformed slightly Spoiler The Bank Spoiler The Fans Spoiler We managed to agree a small stadium expansion to 12,500 (from 11,500 - is it worth it board?), and a further upgrade to the Youth facilities. Slow progress but getting there Edit: board have now changed their minds and are adding 5k seats - was only a week ago they decided on a small expansion!Ā Having to shrink size of this font from too many seasons!

Habituz Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 End of Season Review Season 2023/24 Karaman Futbol KulĆ¼bĆ¼ Season Summary Was in the playoff places all season, never really challenged for the championship even when 2nd as leaders had a big gap at that point, and when drop to last playoff place I had a 3 or 4 point gap.
