Praise the FM gods!

Nothing of note has changed - same Chairman for the last 14 seasons.  The youth requirement thing doesn't seem to have much/any effect, well based on what I have observed in a little test (see below).  I assume the reputation of the club has cleared the threshold for my situation to allow the option to reappear.  TBH I have been patiently holding on to the hope that a rep increase will help... as i cant to anything about my Chairman!

This is what I found when I last did a test with Villa in the EPL. Might be of interest

Nice test, your results are what I assumed was the case and which is what had me frustrated about my Luxembourg save. If my priority was to max my youth facilities I should throw my CL qualification to get into the Europa league or Conference League to try and win a Continental trophy as that gives me more club reputation than just doing well in the Group Stage but failing in the first knockouts of the CL. 

Probably once I'm done with my USA Statistical Excursion I'll return for a final crack at the CL in Luxembourg. If I milk every last ounce of performance out of the team I think I have a shot. Will require some serious tactical adjustments though as I need something better than an offensive 4-2-3-1 against the new-era Tycoons of Europe.

14 years is an (unfortunately) impressive run for a chairman. I've never had one stay that long. Almost always by 10 years they are looking for the door even if the club is showering them in money and success. Congrats?

League fixtures | Promotion league fixtures

 

Back to winning ways! and how.

We were the team to beat in our division all year long. Olhanense kept up with us for a good while but fell off eventually. 

In the promotion stage it felt like it was fatigue manager more than anything. I don't think we go unbeaten like we did if there was a full week between matches. We secured promotion back to liga 3! comming in first gave us a chance to fight for the cherry on top that is a league title. 

Tourizense awaited us in the final where we waltzed right over them. Just like in our inaugral season we are champions of the campeonato de portugal.

I really like this division. It has nice short seasons with a climatic ending. But I hope I never see it again this save.

The cup was uneventfull this time. We beat Sp. Ideal from our own league and then got beaten by Lusitania Lourosa from Liga Nos. No upsets this time.

We had some great performances this year from the front line. Wilson Evora 2401 absolutely went off with 21 goals and Pedro Serras continued his amazing form from last year into this season. But the star of the season was Gelson Neves. The 19 year old set records for assists and highest avg match ratings as well as scoring 20 goals.

The youth intake was decent this year. There is a good amount of potential though I'd wish for some better personalities for the top prospects.

Ilkeston Town - Season 4 – 6nd – Lost playoff first round

Transfers -- Squad -- League

 

I hate the playoffs. We were a bit worse than last season this time out, we were still generally good, but there was a lot more variation in our form this season. There was times where we were just winning for fun, and then others where we would lose 3 or 4 in a row.  We ended the season in one of these poor spells of form with our eventual playoff opponent being the team that beat us in the penultimate game of the season. The playoff game itself it was a bit of a end to end affair with both us and Altrincham scoring in second half stoppage time as it ended 3-3 at full time. In extra time they won it and it made it 3 straight playoff campaigns where we failed to progress.

Youth Intake

The intake was much better this season with a few players who already went into consideration for the first team squad.

image.png.af6c87153a4a55f157cd71688a7fb491.png

Shay Cook 4Cook looks a good option on the left wing. He could end up featuring for us at left back too as he isn’t awful as a more attack minded fullback. Not the best personality and determination is low so definitely needs to improve there but has already scored and assisted in the first team since the intake.  

Nehemiah Liburd-Hines 4Whilst naturally a right winger, I’m immediately training him to be a right back as he looks well suited to playing there though could still provide an option further forward. Another with low determination however.

Alessio Raccagni 4 -  A decent looking midfielder, who, whilst has a fair few low attributes, may find himself as a first choice player next season. He is inflicted with the general low pace of intakes prior but that can improve.

Andrew Brown 4 Brown is considered by the game to be our hot prospect and physically he looks very strong for this level. He will find himself as a squad player next season I think.

Overview

This season was worse than the last with us not really at our fluid best, but we’ve yet again finished in the top 7 which means we are at least challenging for promotion each season. We’ve just got to try again next season, though I dread another playoff campaign.

We have upgraded our youth recruitment and junior coaching this season again which will hopefully see us continue to bring through good youth prospects.

Key Players

Timmy Browne 1Browne yet again was our best performer this season though did not score as many as he had last season but has continued to impress in general at the heart of defense. He is now wanted by a few league clubs, but he does have a long contract so we shouldn’t need to sell him.

Charlie WakefieldAnother great season for Wakefield with another 15 assists from midfield. He’s still relatively young so has a good few years where he can feature whilst youngsters come up to speed.

Montel GibsonA fantastic return from Gibson on the left wing with 17 goals and 10 assists for the season. As we now have a new prospect in this position it might be that Gibson might end up playing more games in his preferred central striking position though Campbell was still his prolific inconsistent self this season.

The Table

3rd after the first stage of the season but a poor run of results pushed us down to 4th.

That's a decent waiting list so..

image.png.d44a69654d6101d0101e63d395916b6c.png

We had an okay season. We actually beat Tottenham 2-1 on aggregate in the round of 32 in the Champions League - who were the current champions - before getting stuffed 6-0 agg by Real Madrid.

Trying to balance fitness between the competitions always pays a price on the league form, so back out of Champions League football next season!

Ifeanyi Ubah FC: 2032/33 Season Review

Completed it! :) We went into the season hoping to give a decent performance in the Champion's League but never thought we'd manage to go all the way.

We strolled through the qualifying and first round before being drawn in a group with two strong Tunisian teams (CS Fax and ES Tunis). Surprisingly, we topped the group and ended up facing one of our Nigerian rivals. We nearly performed the perfect bottle job as our S-F against Sundowns saw us cling to an aggregate win.

It all came down to the two-legged final against ES Tunis (again) where the first leg saw us win 6-1! The second leg resulted in a dull 2-0 defeat but we celebrated in front of 66,000 Tunisians.

Domestically, we strolled to another league title as rivals Rivers United and Akwa United made slow starts to the campaign and couldn't catch up. We lost in the Nigerian Cup in the Q-Fs.

Player stats were very pleasing as we posted some very good numbers. Until now I'd not realised that we were a 100% newgen squad.

stats33.thumb.jpg.eb2e3f74963e6edfb8e73142c6fec584.jpg

Our best eleven comprised of the following players, although a few were actually fringe players. The settled first eleven's profiles follow...

Youth intake was pretty decent as we took on a handful of recruits that had decent potential alongside decent personalities.

Thanks mate :thup:

Quick question about rules... is managing two teams allowed?

I want to try another country but also love managing in Gibraltar but they don't have relegations/lower tiers.

2 teams aren't allowed I'm afraid.

@SuperRedditch nice job on the promotion

Sirl looks fantastic, hopefully you can keep him happy long enough, promotion will help with that but Sparta Prague frustrated the hell out of me in my Vitkovice save as they kept unsettling my best players.

As for promises I never make any promises, too many pitfalls in it even without any coding bugs.

End of Season Review

Season 2024/25

Karaman Futbol Kulübü

image.jpeg.0323e99365cbc97ecfa99360b7978b56.jpeg

Season Summary

This season was one of ups and downs, we were mid-table most of season but the gap from playoffs to relegation was rarely over 10 points so we were never safe, and always close to promotion. For a season in transition from better players leaving and younger players coming through it was ok. Ended the season with a good shot at last playoff spot but then went on a run where I couldn't get a shot on target. Cup again went well.

League Table - 11th in the league

Spoiler

image.jpeg.75c138671f8eb92dc6dfa1d48dd9fe1a.jpeg

Fixtures - We ended up drawing a team in the top league, actually beat them only to draw another team in top league in the sixth round. Was close to getting to penalties but they scored in last few minutes of extra time to knock us out

Spoiler

image.thumb.jpeg.aeac595b829645e76604ab4ae4a7b4f0.jpeg

Squad - Most players got game time, with the younger players already at the club when the challenge started becoming a bigger part and a few youth prospects from 23/24 season getting some game time

Spoiler

image.thumb.jpeg.1dede094eaa37ea4f307e06b5dc2d582.jpeg

Squad Dynamics - Pretty decent, as the younger players come through my support is increasing

Spoiler

image.thumb.jpeg.7c26e04187873123a499ccc5ddd8482c.jpeg

Transfers - I sold some of my players, like season one was a back up, the other was for one of my best players, was able to get a next sale clause in along with decent fee

Spoiler

image.thumb.jpeg.383d792c25d4bd7d0c26a67d8b313fe4.jpeg

Youth Candidates - Not the greatest, but ok. Top rated was Fedayi Camunak YP25a

Finances - even with me being far below wage budget we still losing money by a fair margin

Spoiler

image.thumb.jpeg.0550a5c9e5023d040eacc3f2c168d622.jpeg

Key Players

İlyas Ural - One half of my back pair, rarely had a bad game

Spoiler

image.thumb.jpeg.041f267277d714a650e627242ff64dda.jpeg

Ömercan Öndaş - The other half, starting to get on now and likely to decline rapidly next season

Spoiler

image.thumb.jpeg.284192d8ddfa0ad0d9651152c2a1604c.jpeg

Bora Taşdemir - Like last season my main goalscorer playing as an advance forward, false nine, trequartista, and inside forward depending on what we needed

Spoiler

image.thumb.jpeg.71a74d5478fd7e18c71a29f94bbcab9c.jpeg

Yiğit Kaya - Young keeper who stepped in for several weeks while main keeper was injured, mainly plays as youth keeper as not been able to find him a loan yet.

Spoiler

Next Season

Plan next season is to make playoffs again like first season and give my younger players more play time

SKF Sered

Slovak Second Division - 2022/23

 

We were predicted a rough season and it was, but not as bad as expected.

After a rocky start we found our style in becoming a team that was difficult to beat. Goals were a bit scarce on our end but we managed to string together a few unbeaten runs to finish in a decent position.

Squad.thumb.JPG.e01efe5bf9793379a5871dc35e48f997.JPG

We leaned heavily on Hladik, Janso and Hambalek, with Vantruba holding the important task in being our big flick-on boy.

Leckesi is a decent option in goal and although Zlacky performed well, him being easily our best option shows our issues in midfield.

Youth intake

This is not what you hope for in the first season, but we'll have to take it,

Horvath is going to need some time if he's going to make it at all with his personality, but he has time as we're ok in goal for the next few years.

Lacko is very welcome, as we only had one option in our important AMC role.

AS Beauvais Oise Year 1 Review

Considering we were tipped for relegation it should have been a great season but the fact we were only 3 points back from promotion with 2 games left kinda leaves a sour taste in my mouth. We made a fun Cup run making it to the 9th round before losing to Lillie. Team wise our scoring is probably the worst part of the team, we have talent up there and probably the most depth but it seems no one can consistently put the ball in the back of the net. The midfield is pretty bare bones and average at best but defensively we are pretty solid and probably the strongest part of the team.

At the beginning of the season I had to fight off a player mutiny as they didn't think I was good enough to lead the team, but a good 2 months of form changed that. The biggest problem is even though we are way below wage budget we are losing a shocking amount of money and I think I'll desperately need to get promoted soon.

1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig

Well, that's already the end of my save at Lok Leipzig. :(

In my second season, our first in 2. Bundesliga, I just couldn't get them winning games. We started well, with some nice wins against St. Pauli(who finished 2nd and got promoted to the Bundesliga) and Hansa Rostock. But after the match against Rostock we only managed to win 2 games, and lost almost all the other matches. After our win against Karlsruhe we only managed to get just two points, and lost all the other matches. So we relegated, and the board decided to sack me after the season. They asked me what the reason for those poor results were. I said that is was due some serious injuries, but they disagreed and sacked me.

Pfff. It's not my first sack at Lok Leipzig. I really want to succeed with this club, but I can't get it working.

I don't know what my next destination will be. Maybe I'll do a Journeyman-save for a little while.

TECOS FC END OF THE SEASON 2033-2034 (mexican 1st division)

 

Hello everyone ! we're still in the first mexican division and we're stucked in mid table since a few years and we didn't do better this year with a 10th place in the opening stage and a 11th place in the closing stage

I'm struggling to have better results and honestly i take the blame i think the team is okish and with a good coach resultats could have been better

The good new this year is we have a new board and i can finally improve my facilities which are average for training and formation but at the cost of pretty harsh goals for the ligue, noot that good on paper but im getting tired of having same results every year so it's motivating me again !

To dive into the pitch, the main problem this year was my strikers which you can see just above, i have 3 options available but all of them did a shi*** year , which is a shame cause the team was working well and we didn't concede a lot of goals but we could't either.

The first one is Adame, on paper he was one on my most promising youngsters in the save but he have the terrible inconsistency trait which mean when he is at his best he win games by himself but when not he will miss 2 sitters a game, i always played him striker but i moved him this year mostly as a winger cause he doesn't want to do a good season. He was very good in the first half of the season but ghosted throught the closing stage

The second option is Cuadros, my man my champ ( my highest wage ) , i have no waod to say how thr*** he was this season, he always been a very impactful player always stepping up on big matches and always very good in the buildup on games where he couldn't score, This year i had his devilish clone missed EVERY chances and he didn't want to involve himself in games . Just take a look at xg and a lot of chances are point blank headers that are 0.05 xgs but for a good head player it's easy .  Shocking season from the start to the end,

My third option is Gaytan  , he can play anywhere in attack ( i love to play him when there is a small right back in other team to just brute force goals ) but it's the same as the others terrible xgs conversion and too many easy headers missed 

A bit of saltyness but offensively it was so frustrating to see the number of chance we had and all the misses 

For the others players still a very good year by Guarch but nothing else really happened

I won't talk too much cause my best players actually in the team comes from 2 and a half potentials when i look at others years screens but i expect a lot from the youngsters this year ( spoiler ive played a bit before writing this and it's not as good at first look ) (( but maybe if they actually work a bit they will have first team potential )) ((( :( )))

To end things up here the transfers proof , good luck to all managers out there !

@Winski bad luck there.

do you think you got promoted too quickly? I’ve had hit and miss with quick promotions in this challenge but my current save feels safer given my team is gradually getting to the required level rather than overachieving then crashing back down to earth.

Probably yes. We had a fantastic first season in 3. Liga. But the 2. Bundesliga is something else in terms of quality. We also had some long-term injuries, so I had to play with some 16-year old newgens who were nowhere ready for first team football. So we promoted too early, but it was also some bad luck. In the last months of the season the morale of the squad was so low, that it became impossible to turn things around.

In France, my team did an amazing job in National. I had some good players but things just clicked once the moral was high.In Ligue 2, well, they didn't won a game until January. Despite having some decent talents.

I wish you luck on your next try :)

Operário dos Açores – Season 8 (2030/31)

Liga 3 Last time we were in this division we were terrible, but this time we were suddenly fighting for back-to-back promotions! We finished 1st in the first stage, but the promotion stage was tough, and it took us until game 4 out of 6 to get going. We just about managed to finish 2nd in our promotion group, which meant that we went into a playoff against the other 2nd placed team, which we won, and then against a team who finished 16th in Liga 2, which we narrowly lost, so another season in Liga 3 beckons. Man, these Portuguese lower leagues are complicated! Also, I can't believe that the team called Länk FC, who beat us to the promotion, is actually Portuguese...

spacer.png spacer.png spacer.png

Players: Some players have stalled but others are still improving, with the most-improved player award going to Pedro Perreira 04f, a winger who my assistant crazily retrained as a defensive mid while he was in the U19s, and who now actually plays as a defensive mid because I have no other players for that position. The usual youth challenge stuff.

spacer.png

Youth intake: Messed up the screenshot a bit but overall, pretty decent if not spectacular. I hope that with João Pedro Valadar 08b I’ll finally get a proper defensive midfielder, but his attributes have regressed since the intake so now I’m not so sure.

spacer.png spacer.png

Facilities/finances: no more cash injections for some reason, so the board is cutting our wage budget to bare bones.

Transfers Still keeping the players, a couple are unhappy but they are on long contracts.

Hi guys! so i started this challenge and try to manage a team who pop up from nowhere to Italian Serie C.
I choose Italie cause it as been a long time since i haven't played in that country.

 

i have to mention i'm not at home at this time and my urge to play the best ever football game, so i bought it on switch... it's not the whole game  but it helps to heal my addiction (=

 

However, i'm a newbie on managing small clubs and each times i tried it was a shamefull fail, and this save is not an exception...

but i'm learning and if some guys here can do it why couldn't i???

so if you guys have any tips i listen to you =)

 

i know i made a few mistakes:

i changed several times my 1st eleven and my tactics

i tried to play attack then defense

hopefully my board just want us to reach relegation playoff so they are happy for my work at the club (=

 

what would you do if you were in my itchy position?
