Popular Post dkouv Posted April 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2023 Operário dos Açores – Season 11 (2033/34) Liga 3 We did it! No, not the Champions League… But we’ll finally be playing in Liga 2 next season. We actually started pretty badly, shipping lots of goals and having in the lower half of the table. But then we managed to to steady the ship, and we went on a great run which saw us end the regular season in 3rd and qualify for the promotion playoffs. We had a tough draw in the first game, away to Nacional who we only got 1 point against this season. To my great surprise, we outplayed them and won 3-0. We then went on to pretty much demolish everyone in the playoffs, winning 5/6 games and securing promotion! Players: I kind-off wrote off Jordanes Vieito 08a (ST/AMR) on intake day, as he had low CA, 4 determination, and an unambitious personality. But he developed really well and is probably our best player now, scoring 15 and assisting 9 in 25 games, mostly from the right wing. Other than that, the team has changed little but I’m trying to promote a couple of youngsters here and there. Youth intake: We finally have a left back! At least if he reaches something approaching his CA eventually. And it only took 11 seasons… Other than that, the intake looks better than last year with 3 elite talents and some fairly pro personalities. Facilities/finances: some belated cash injections mean we’re currently at -1m. But I don’t think we’ll be making much money in Liga 2 either. Transfers Just some loans out.

Popular Post Johnny Ace Posted April 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2023 Right on the eve of the first game of the season we lost our best right back (and right winger) Kristian Chernakov, another kid that'd come into the squad to cover an emergency and earned himself a first team spot, our Bulgarian Trent. He went for 95k with add-ons In the January window we lost our DM Nikolay Tisovski for 100K. So for the whole season I was playing with a makeshift right back and makeshift DM for the last half However, we were unbeaten in the opening 12 games of the season, top at mid season and kept enough momentum through to the end .... Stanimir Chervenkov re-found his scoring form with 30 goals and still didn't make the bext XI As you can see, my DM is 15 years old and Slavov at right back is a 33 year old right winger. We finally got a good centre back that was a massive boost the last couple of seasons, he wants gone too . Gelin also finally started to develop into a capable fist teamer, has only taken him 5 years Pretty sure Stanev and Mitov were first year academy graduates The preview was back on track after a couple of dodgy years The DM is Kokov who was my best DM at that point No cock ups on giving the youth players contracts this year Other stuff I got offered an interview for the Ludogorets job early in the season, they then smashed us 4-0 in the 1st round of the cup Spoiler We had a a takeover, the new board kindly cleared our debts, with a 450k loan, awesome. Straight away I put the boot in on upgrades, there may have been a bit of aggro Spoiler This season will be tough, every 1st division team we've ever played in the cup have slapped us one. I'm happy to take the money, the rep boost, the upgrades whatever, lets see what it brings ay? 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazRTaylor Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Youth Candidates Season 2038/39 Macclesfield It was the best preview I have seen for some time: With no elite talents being identified, I am left bitterly disappointed with the intake. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazRTaylor Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 It is very very tight at the top of the table going into the final game! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DazRTaylor Posted April 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) End of Season Review Season 2038/39 Macclesfield Season Summary A season for the ages. We won the league title on the final day on goal difference and the promotion to the second tier that comes with it, together with our first ever domestic cup as we lifted the Papa John's Trophy. Season Details League Table - Winning the league title and promotion to the Championship went way beyond my expectations. League Fixtures 1 & 2 - We were just so consistent, picking up wins regularly. F. A. Cup - We made it through to the third round for just the second time in the clubs history and played top flight outfit Sheffield United at home though unfortunately we were hammered, denying the club the opportunity to make it further. Carabao Cup - A penalty shoot out defeat away to Championship side Reading saw the club eliminated at the third round stage. Papa John's Trophy - After dominating our grooup and winning it easily, we stormed all the way to the final and lifted our first domestic cup, albeit on penalties after a one all draw with Brighton's Under 21's. Friendlies - With three losses, it was our worst pre season campaign in some time. Squad - The squad developed quite a bit this year so we have improved significantly. Squad Dynamics - This is rather lovely. Transfers In - None. Transfers Out 1, 2, 3 & 4 - For the second year running there was no major sales. I did allow a few fringe players to depart, however, together with quite a lot of youngsters out on loan. Youth Candidates - Considering the preview, it was a disappointing intake, though striker Charles Ambrose YP39F215 has some potential. Finances - We lost circa £1.5m this year though our bank balance remains healthy. Key Players Robert Reynolds YP32G104 - The right winger enjoyed another fruitful year, obtaining double digits for assists. Craig Reid YP32B99 - He started the season on the bench but soon made one of the centre back positions his own. Robert Millar YP31E86 - Now a full international with Northern Ireland, the striker had a great season, returning 28 goals in 43 appearances. Pablo Ewing YP34C132 - Another full international, this time with Jamaica, the left winger has a great understanding with Millar. Corey Davies YP32F103 - The former Welsh Under 21 international central defender was as reliable as ever. Next Season Survive. I would be quite happy to be in the Championship for a few years consolidating our position.

Popular Post libbyshuss Posted April 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2023 Aachen FC - Germany 2023/24 (Season 1) - 3.Liga Season Summary The board asked me to battle bravely against relegation but one look at the squad suggested we should be capable of better than that. Lots of good players in all positions and a lot of high potential youth players in the U19s as well. if anything, the squad was too full! And we started really well, heading stright into a 2 horse race at the top of the table. And then December hit, where we lost 3 and drew 1. We managed to regroup after the winter break and were better again, but left ourselves with a bit too much to do to get into the automatic promotion spots. But, you know what, finishing 3rd and getting into the play-offs in our first season is pretty, pretty good! First leg saw us draw 1-1 with Holstein Kiel who, truth be told, were a bit better than us. So I wasn't expecting much in the second leg....... where we narrowly lost 3-2. So close!!!!! Youth New territory for me, joining a team and seeing a very nicely stocked youth team already! usually there's 1 or 2 promising youngsters at best but Aachen seemed to have a full XI of them. The only problem is once they turn 19 that's it, you can't play for the U19s any more! I need to get me a II team soon as I can otherwise it'll be loan after loan after loan First things first though - I needed to find a new HOYD. and I found this fella, quite chuffed as well for a season 1 appointment So how did Dominic do on his first intake? Well, always nice to see a promised golden generation! The intake was very nice too. I like to play with an AMC but the only thing this Aachen squad was lacking was a decent, natural AMC. So I was very pleased at this first intake:- not one but two natural AMCs! The pick of the bunch is clearly this lad, who is gonna be getting his first team debut sooner rather than later For a first season youth pull he is lovely! left footed number 10!! flair, technique, lovely stuff! Finances and Upgrades eeeeep. So yeah, we lost around £2m this season. That's clearly unsustainable. Those lovely starting facilities don't come cheap! So.... looks like sales are going to have to happen soon. It is a top heavy squad and does have a decent number of youths waiting to step up so we can afford it. Just have to see what offers, if any, come in. But due to the frightening projections on our finances page the board would sanction nothing but a couple of training courses for me. as it stands, by the end of 2025/26 we're going to be £10.5m in the red. oh, and wages aren't too silly. They gave me a 56k a week budget, we came in at around 40k. I think i can half that within a couple of years but even so, that's not gonna be stopping that debt rising Career A really promising first season, can we keep it up? 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Johnny Ace Posted April 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2023 This season was a lot more fun. With losing our Wingbacks due to age and the big teams wanting to sit them in their U-19 squads for a couple of years then releasing them, we went the Fullback route. As a result we had better control over games and played some nice football We're at that stage now, 10 years in, where some of the kids are very capable at this level with a couple being on the verge of the top division level. Those wingers we had come through last year went into the first team within a few weeks and were a delight to manage We have a bit of depth in some areas but I'm struggling to give some game time, we could really do with a striker too so I'm retraining wingers there and anyone else who's half decent at playing up front Added to this challenge is CSKA 1948, every transfer window they try and unsettle my players so I want to smash them one thanks to them, we do have a few unsettled players Anyway, we won the league. We had Spartak Varna at home last game, needed a point to win the league, we had one sent off and drew 0-0, I think they were happy with playing for the point too I had a zen moment with the preview, I knew how good some of our players are, so C's weren't too bad and knew they could be decent players Really needed a striker Mitev seems alright Really need to stay up this year, if we don't, I'll probably start a fresh but lets give it a go 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddy Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 2032/33 Season Review: A heavy Schedule and the fairly young team really struggled through it. Barely managed to qualify for the champion group split. We finished safely in the group stage of the Europa League, but not in the top 8. Made it to the round of 16 but were outclassed. With a pretty mediocre run going into the split, I'm happy with how the last ten matches went. Facing the top competition in the league we managed to finish fourth and improve our GD. Not pictured here is losing our best player, and keeper, on a free. Money is no object to this club so I'd rather keep them as long as possible and lose on a free than get money I can't spend. Still making steady progress in league and another State Cup win. Hopefully, I am given the option to improve Youth Facilities soon. Youth Intake: Strong intake with some help on the offensive that is needed. Overall just looking for future difference makers to help push up the table. 2033/34 Season Preview: Not pictured is the expectations to make the Conference League. Unfortunately, we got a fairly tough Eredivisie matchup and lost on penalties so did not qualify. All I can do there is hope with less match congestion we can make a stronger push in league. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazRTaylor Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Youth Candidates Season 2039/40 Macclesfield The preview was decent enough I guess: The intake itself was pretty good and I am delighted to see the return of elite talents. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Makoto Nakamura Posted April 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2023 Miðvágs Bóltfelag, commonly known as MB, is a Faroese football club based in Miðvágur. The club was established in 1905. In 1993, the club merged with SÍF Sandavágur to form FS Vágar. After the merger collapsed in 2004, MB was moved to the fourth division to start over. In their first year as a senior club in over a decade, MB demolished all opposition in the fourth division, ending the year with a 7–2 thumping of HB's fourth division team, mainly consisting of veterans who at an earlier stage of their career had played for HB's first team. Notable figures in Faroese football, such as Gunnar Mohr and Kaj Leo Johannesen played on this team. MB played in the Faroese 2nd division (3rd tier), after a disappointing season in 2007, ending up in seventh place. In 2008, MB looked a more assured side and finished 3rd in Division 2, although there is still an ongoing debate whether they finished 2nd or 3rd due to the AB team finishing 2nd using illegal players. Welcome to the Faroe Islands! A place I last managed back on FM20 in a close to 60 year save with Royn where I managed to make one Conference League Final. The one goalkeeper is a bit worrying but I'm very excited to see that we have two players from Greenland! 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DazRTaylor Posted April 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) End of Season Review Season 2039/40 Macclesfield Season Summary It was a good, if unspectacular, first season in the Championship. The less said about the cups the better, however. Season Details League Table - At the end of January, we were actually in a promotion playoff spot before our form deserted us. League Fixtures 1 & 2 - Our form fell off a cliff in February and we never really recovered it. F. A. Cup - A tough draw saw the club sent packing at the first hurdle, the third round, as we lost at home to top flight side Brighton & Hove Albion. Carabao Cup - We equalled last seasons performance of reaching the third round before being well beaten away to Premier League side Crystal Palace. Friendlies - It was a mixed bag during pre season. Squad - We continue to improve though there is no doubt we overachieved this year. Squad Dynamics - This is still rather good. Transfers In - None. Transfers Out 1, 2 & 3 - A club record sale, some fringe players being sold and plenty of youngsters being sent out on loan is the sum of this year's outs. Youth Candidates - Striker Charlie Collin YP40A226 is the best player out of a decent intake. Finances - We lost a small amount this year as the board allowed me to upgrade our facilities once again. Key Players Craig Reid YP32B99 - The centre back had a decent enough campaign. Pablo Ewing YP34C132 - The Jamaican international left winger was good enough though he lacked the consistency of last season. Corey Davies YP32F103 - The central defender was our best player this season. Kabba Barrow YP32E102 - The Gambian international goalkeeper was sensational at times this year and won us many points on his own. Igor Van Hoecke YP35E150 - The young Belgian central midfielder rose to the occasion of playing at a higher level. Next Season Another mid table finish would be just fine.

Johnny Ace Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 We stayed up but the end of the season wasn't great. Won 7 games from 15 in the first half of the season, some proper smash and grab jobs then we managed 2 wins in the second half of the season. We then get put into a mid table group to get beaten a few more times, wasn't the relegation group this time round though The top 3 just smash us every time we play them Not a great preview again, we're going to change the HOYD when his contracts runs out in the summer but we really need to get some cash to bring the youth facilities back up to scratch I missed the youth drop again The DM will be handy but not a single midfielder. We've got a great striker developing in the U-19s, he's only 16 though so I don't want to chuck him in yet but we really need a solid midfielder or two CSKA 1948 again!! The board went above me to accept the offer because we're deep in the red, I didn't mind though, he was one I couldn't give game time to Ooohhh!! The board just dropped this on me!! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post XaW Posted April 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2023 XaW - Cardiff Draconians - Season 2029/30 (Season 7) - JD Cymru Premier Squad | Transfers | Finances We are slowly improving, but we are still a fair bit behind TNS and Cardiff Met Uni still. In fact Cardiff Met Uni has won the league 3 years in a row now! My current goal is just being the 3rd best team and get into Europe every season and make some money. Hopefully, we can eventually go professional and then challenge the top teams. I got some improvements accepted this season. Europa Conference League: Our first go in Europe was a short one, but we did have a very hard draw. We lost both legs to APOEL of Cyprus with a single goal to get knocked out in the 1st qualifying round. At least we got a lot of money for it. Welsh Cup: We beat Blaenavon Blues, Holywell, Afan Lido, Swansea Uni, and Newtown to reach the final, there we lost to TNS.League Cup: We beat Penybont before we lost on pens to Pontardawe in the 3rd round. U19s They finished 1st in the Cymru Premier Development League (South) this season and went on to the playoff final. There they beat Gap Connah's Quay to be claimed champions! Welsh Youth Cup: They beat Merthyr, Barry Town, and Gap Connah's Quay before they lost to Penybont in the quarter final.

Popular Post Neo_Geo Posted April 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2023 CUP WIN AND CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FOR SAK 1914 More Youth DetailsYouth Intake PreviewYouth Intake Top 5 Season Review Delighted with the season as we not only won our first Austrian FA Cup in our third final appearance but we finished second to RB Salzburg and as a result qualified for the Champions League Qualifiers. It was a season where players started to realise what they have at the club and not only did they drop their concerns to leave but they also requested new contracts (the exception to the rule is Susterajter (Elite2) who at the end of the season asked to leave as he wants to win titles, agreed to let him go if a club comes in with £13.25m). That being said the season started with Dortmund trying to keep the unofficial feeder link alive: Given the players now at my disposal I changed to a 4-2-3-1 DM AM Narrow as I think it makes the most of our DMCs and AMCs and Matko up top managed to score 37 goals in all competitions so he seems to be doing just fine. League record against RB Salzburg last year was P4 W1 D0 L3 with For 4 and Ag 6 so we are still getting beaten but it's getting closer. Europe certainly took its toll as we have a decent second string but not strong enough to keep the pace with RB Salzburg. At the tail end of the season we also had a lot of injuries to AMCs resulting in changing to 4-2-1-2-1 (changed an AMC to MC) on a number of occasions and the cup final, although we were the better team, was a slog and we just got it over the line before playing Sturm Graz in match day 31 to book our Champions League spot. A huge part of our success was our defence with 17 clean sheets and only 22 goals conceded (RB Salzburg conceded 21) however up top we are 20 goals behind RB Salzburg so as our forward line continue to develop I'll look to get some more from them in addition to looking at getting the fullbacks to get further forward (but that relies heavily on the quality of the DCs and DMCs). As far as the squad is concerned its developing nicely. What is interesting is I am now seeing some of the previously rated 5 star PA shift to 4.5 star which I believe is happening because we have a couple of outliers as far as PA is concerned (suspect its Kern (Elite4) and Bogener (Elite5) who are now both 4 star CA). Matko (Elite3) despite scoring 37 goals is now showing as a 4 star PA which presumably means he's not far off peaking, so I'll have to see if Bremer (Elite5) or Taylor (Elite6) are likely to exceed this but it will be tricky with only the one starting slot so I am thinking Bremer goes on loan and Taylor is backup. We had 4 entries in the NXGN: In addition to this Streicher won the European Golden Boy award: Streicher also won the UEFA Europa Conference League Young Player of the Season award. Off the field the Youth Recruitment was maxed this year but no further upgrades to training or youth facilities (if I make Champions League proper I'll be kicking the chairman's door down to get them!) The new stadium came too late for season ticket sales so it will be interesting to see the numbers this year but the stadium and European football definitely help balance the books last season without the need to sell any players. Next season I would LOVE to make the Champions League proper but I'm not expecting it to happen as I enter at the League Path 3rd qualifying round and if I make it through that there is the play-off. Domestically I'd be happy to replicate this season and finish best of the rest if possible and continue to develop the talent at the club since it is going to take a huge effort to overthrow RB Salzburg (won the league title 16 times in a row now). The similarities of this save and my Vitkovice save are scary so I just hope it doesn't end up the same way with the team self destructing and me getting the sack! 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to Berliner FC Dynamo AKA BFC Dynamo. BFC Dynamo was founded in 1966 and became one of the most successful clubs in East German football, winning ten consecutive league championships from 1979 to 1988.

Popular Post The_Gato_In_Goal Posted April 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2023 Brønshøj BK - Youth Intake Season 13 As a refresher, this is our HOYD, we've spent the last four seasons narrowly avoiding relegation from the Superliga, and we have some nice looking facilities and good finances from big player sales. Now for the intake, and it's a very solid one. For once, the best potential players have the best personalities. I'm keeping the tagged players, but having another DC is nice and we needed more depth in the midfield. Banza 13a will look to break into the first team in the next few seasons, but can serve as a rotation option right away once he turns 16. We have nobody behind our two starting DCs, so his great personality and potential is appreciated Konge 13b has a nice personality and potential, but his attributes are underwhelming. Being both footed with good speed and dribbling is nice, and he can turn into a solid option across the front 3, but I don't like how injury prone and inconsistent he is. We've now got standout defensive midfielders in both of our last two intakes. I like Egeris Paarup 13c for his outstanding mentals, and good tackling and passing. Plus a great personality. The wonderkid list came out as well and we have two players making the cut. First, Andres Hjulmand 11a, who is the best player at the club. At age 17, we have him for 3.5 seasons after this, but will probably look to sell him sooner for the cash. Second, Thomas Andersen Nedergaard 11D. Also aged 17 from that same intake, he's developed real nicely into a good DC option (finally we have players who won't concede 4 goals per match). Similarly, we have him locked up for 3.5 years, although I'm more confident we can ink him to an extension in the future. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

libbyshuss Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Aachen - Germany Liga 3 - 2024/25 (season 2) Season Summary One of the things I like most about this challenge is it forces you to think as you can't just rely on a plug and play tactics where you source the right players for your tactic. Here you've got to do the opposite - find the right tactic for your players. It's also annoying though as you can spend hours searching for the right tactic and still not find one that sits right. And that was my season! I used different variations of three tactics trying to get the team to gel, even though we were never really bad. Part of our problem is a lot of our players are able to play in a variety of positions so we have a lot options. I started with a 4231 but still without a natural AMC and with the wingers not firing at all I switched to a narrow 433, and with tweaking it started to look pretty good. The problem was we just kept drawing games! So although we beat eventual champions Dresden and went on a few unbeaten runs we could never challenge the top three, which was a little frustrating. Youth Very, very happy with this seasons preview and intake! a golden generation and that spread of A grades is always welcome! The intake was interesting. 4 elite talents, all look really good, none of them play in positions for our current first team tactic! so our U19 team is having a separate tactic built that I can switch to when these guys get old enough. I'm confident all 4 should make the first team, they look that good. Billis is almost good enough already! and I do like the look of this fella. I do like a good professional personality! Finances and Upgrades Not good. Reduced the wage bill by a good 30% or so but we're still losing a million a season. We need a good cup run really, as it pays nice money. We went out to Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin this season at home. To make things worse I got this message at the seasons end... I hate those messages! although the chairperson sporting a handlebar moustache of such quality made it a little easier to bear Career Still looking good despite a lower league finish. Just need some cash to start rolling in! If we can get a good run going there's no reason why we can't challenge for promotion again, but i don't think we'll be among the favourites. not yet, anyway. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I‘d only read 20 pages though. thanks much! Welcome You can always join this challenge You do not need to play in non playable leagues. The basic rule is that you start in the lowest division of that specific country. You'll holiday for one season, until 'reset date', and pick a club that's promoted to the lowest division. So England for example: you'll pick a club that has been promoted to the Vanarama National League North or South. Just read the very first page and you'll read everything you need to know about this fantastic challenge. All the rules, a list with (un)completed countries, etcetera.

Norway is a bit special since the 4th tier is only available as view only in the vanilla game. So there you need to take over a club promoted into the 3rd tier after a holiday season.

Tilling Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Hey folks - I remember having a go of this challenge in 2022, but I'm always keen to pick a team that already has good youth facilities and a good set of fans IRL (who doesn't love the roleplay side of the game)? Are there any clubs that jump out at you that are eligible for this challenge and tick those above? It seems like Germany is probably the best nation to attempt this challenge in (the fan culture being nuts, finances generally good, and decent facilities/youth rating) but I'd be really keen to give it a go in France, Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Koetzer Posted April 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2023 FK Viktoria Žižkov – season 2036/37 Sparta won another title quite easily, but we were running in the next group and this time managed to get good result in the final stage, repeating our best ever position! Aiming for the second Champions League place doesn’t seem so unrealistic now (if we keep the key players, of course). Cup That was our real chance for a trophy with having only home games and Sparta already being knocked out, but we failed to score in semi-final Conference League Road to the main stage wasn’t easy, from a stoppage time comeback in Kazakhstan to getting a Bundesliga team in the final qualifying stage, however we defeated them with the only late goal and then had another top eight finish (only losing to eventual trophy winners Espanyol). Could have more luck in playoffs though, Braga wasn't such a dominant side as it can be suggested from the score. Squad stats A.Uhlíř *31a – his best goalscoring season so far. R.Čupr *28d – a huge surprise from a player who was seen as a backup winger but eventually had the best average rating and led the team in assists. L.Petržílka *26g – was the best central defender this season. S.Trifunović *34g – our third Golden Boy in four years, though unlikely to stay here for more than one season as he’s wanted by European top clubs. M.Sedláček *31b – replaced Kodr as the starting goalkeeper, not sure if he stays #1 for a long time as we have two youngsters progressing well on loan. Transfers – no notable departures. Youth intake (preview) Hušek *37a | Boháč *37b | Mulugeta *37c | Kotěra *37d | Šindelář *37e There are not so many talented players here, still the top prospects can boost our defensive line. Our training facilities should reach the maximum level in September, and the stadium is going to be expanded to 8000 seats. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DazRTaylor Posted April 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) End of Season Review Season 2040/41 Macclesfield Season Summary It was another season of mediocrity as we finished safely in mid table. We were appalling in the cups though. Season Details League Table - A repeat of last season as we finished in twelfth place. League Fixtures 1 & 2 - We were firmly in the playoff places until our form deserted us and we went on a fourteen game winless run. It was pleasing to finish the season well, however. F. A. Cup - We were given a tough draw, away to Watford, who would eventually go on and win the Championship, and narrowly lost by the odd goal in three. Carabao Cup - Just like the F. A. Cup, we went out at the first time of asking, going down in the first round away to League Two side Chesterfield on penalties. Friendlies - For the first time, we enjoyed the perfect pre season campaign, winning all ten of our matches. Squad - The players continue to develop so we are slowing getting stronger. Squad Dynamics - This is still lovely. Transfers In - None. Transfers Out 1, 2, 3 & 4 - There was no big sale this year though some fringe players left as well as a plethora of youngsters departing on loan for some much needed experience. Youth Candidates - Right back Evan Maguire YP41A242 was the best prospect in a decent intake. Finances - We lost quite a lot of money this year so I can see some sales occuring this summer. Key Players Craig Reid YP32B99 - Our best player once again, the Scottish international central defender was magnificent. Corey Davies YP32F103 - The Welsh international central defender has formed quite a defensive partnership with Craig Reid YP32B99. Kabba Barrow YP32E102 - Our goalkeeper, a full international for The Gambia, once again won us points on his own. Igor Van Hoecke YP35E150 - The Belgian central midfielder was again instrumental in a lot of what we did right this year. Robert Reynolds YP32G104 - The Republic of Ireland international enjoyed a fruitful season playing on the right wing. Next Season I am more than happy to remain where we are in mid table.

Popular Post The7Striker Posted April 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) Berliner FC Dynamo (BFC Dynamo) 2023/2024 Season Finances Facilities Transfers Squad 3.Liga This season what mattered was staying in the 3.Liga, and that's what we did. The mid-table finishing was the best we could do, but with the squad I have I can't ask for more to be fair. Financially, this club is a leaky boat! The promotion brought a loan of 2.3M for a under soil heating, that and half of the squad earning a lot, it's a nightmare. We sold a player but the value was a penny in the ocean of red. With the elections, we had a new board, but they didn't inject money to help us out, just a link with Bayern worth 100k per year, I hope it helps in some way. Next season will be a struggle with some players leaving the club and youth away from first team level. Lets see how it goes. DFB Pokal -We didn't enter the cup this year. Under 19 - It was a solid season, top 6th in the league. Youth Intake Spoiler Yikes!! Can't argue with that intake, facilities are basic and with no cash, it impacts.

It's nice to start off with a bit of clean slate Ask away, the challenge is very daunting, especially when you're new to it. A lot of the guys here have vast experience with it 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAwtunes Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 8 months in Wales and feeling like we're going nowhere so thinking of jumping on into Ukraine. I'm a bit late to the party in Ukraine, but am I right in thinking the game plays normally in Ukraine in FM22? Is there anything I need to be aware of? Cheers.

DazRTaylor Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 It is the end of an era. One of the best things about this challenge is the attachment you get to players you wouldn't even consider in other game types. Two of my longest serving players, who have over 1,000 appearances between them and close to 500 goals, are departing. They were both with me since those dark days in the Vanarama National North though they both got found out in the Championship. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kabba Barrow YP32E102 - Our goalkeeper, a full international for The Gambia, once again won us points on his own. Igor Van Hoecke YP35E150 - The Belgian central midfielder was again instrumental in a lot of what we did right this year. Robert Reynolds YP32G104 - The Republic of Ireland international enjoyed a fruitful season playing on the right wing. You will note that four of my best players all came through in the same intake, 2032. Looking back, none of these four were considered the best prospect. Here was the intake: As well as the four players who are among my best, George Anderson was sold for £1.4m, Wilfred Ibrahim was sold for £220,000 & Kostas Papthanasiou, who was considered the best player, was sold for £1m. What an intake this has proved to be. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanziZoloman Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Here‘s the next question: @Koetzer great achievements in Czech Republic I’d almost chosen the same club. How did you implement the wonderful table? tried to copy from Word but didn’t work out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Ace Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Pretty great season overall, the team's kicking on. We finished 5th in the normal phase Which is pretty mental really, I'm putting it down to three things: 1) key players getting better 2) a tactical tweak 3) having an actual striker for the second half of the season, he scored 14 in the last 18 games 4) not having one of those runs for 6 weeks where everyone slams you one Bad news was we were put into the Championship phase, which just means you get to get hammered by the big teams again. We did manage to actually score against them and we picked up a win over Ludogorets We did the double over CSKA 1948 and got the manager sacked Spoiler The intake picked up again this year too A promising striker coming just as we give the debut to one we've been developing for two years. We really need a CM or two, retaining a fullback at the minute, we've got a bit of depth in other areas We sold Rusanov to Juve for £2 million for some much needed funds, help clear the debt and get the training facilities back up to scratch, could do with selling one or two more. Rusanov was a great talent and I've loads of wingers so didn't mind losing him, he deserved the move No news on the new stadium, I might get an update when I progress a few days 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
