Popular Post Winski Posted June 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) DEAC Youth Intake 2024 Our first youth intake! Our facilities aren't good, so I don't have any high expectations about this first intake. We signed Oleh Vysotskyi, a newgen, as our HoYD. The preview says it will be an excellent intake: The intake itself gave us indeed a wonderful talent! I can't believe we got such a talented youngster in our very first intake, while our facilities are still quite bad. It looks like Ádám Ulbert 24a will be a future star! But I also really like Erik Fényes 24c. Spoiler Edited June 22, 2023 by Winski 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post the_hdk Posted June 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2023 Ze return of ze Habsburgs: the Wacker Saga. Part One - Hello, Bye 2. Liga Players / Transfers First season went amazing. We only had one slump just after winter break where we couldn't win for 6 games. In the end only one team can promote and thankfully the champion was Salzburg jugend. There is a huge difference in quality between 2. Liga and Bundesliga...so I fear we will get knocked back down right away. We are not ready for Bundesliga me thinks. Our two best players are playing in defense. SCHWAB as CB and PETUTSCHNIG as RB. The only players in Bundesliga level right now. We do have intake0 two players who do have the potantial to get there. AKKUS the CM and BAJIC the ST. Biggest surprise outside was USA winning the Copa America! Youth Our current HOYD. Amazing skills. Bad Personality. But I make that up by having only great personalities in youth coaches (resolute/model prof/perfectionist and or driven). #SETIK #1 Right away an amazing intake with five elite prospects. Three strikers, a CM and a goaly. We need defenders next year. Best of the bunch is ALTUNDAL. Potentially our next main striker. Dual Turkish/Austrian. Driven! with Determination of 20!. Great on first meters and very technical. Already 2,5 star. This dude will make first team within next seaosn me thinks. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BustaRaymes Posted June 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) Bóltfelagið Royn Betri deildin menn - 2035 We slipped up a bit this season as we let B68 take over 2nd place. They went professional this season and they joined KI (who almost went down for some reason) in trying to poach our players. Bad luck in the draws. I hoped for more against Vaduz but Chaves was a bit too strong for us. Squad The leader of the back line is now David Debes, who also received his first international callup. Roar Pauli Debes was our best player in midfield, but the competition for places is growing by the year so he might lose his spot soon. Wiberg debuted with 22 goals this season and he's going to be great for us. Youth intake Some great players again! Sorensen is another midfielder, and again left-footed, but he's so good that he's going to feature a lot next season. What a player we have in Hansen. We need to play with wingers again next season. Toftum looks like the goalkeeper we were waiting for. He's already better than Olsen, who is not developing anyway. Mubarak is another winger who we'll need to find a spot for.

Sn00gle Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Kotwica Kołobrzeg - 2041/42 Squad - League - Finances - Transfers I changed tactic this season and we won everything in Poland. Total domination. In Champions League we got easy to group stage where we struggle. We tied 2 matches with Club Brugge and Lazio after goals in 92' in both matches. As we played with Liverpool last match I was ready to take my backpack and go home but we manage to bet them on their stadium 1-2 after losing first goal in first 5 minutes. Then we meet another giant from England Newcastle but after 2 hard matches we lost. Perfect season but its time to win some European trophies A lot of players are in interest of top clubs from around world so I don't know if will be able to hold key starts. We got money but that might be not all. Let's go to the next season. Our affiliated clubs changed, deal with Bosnia and Danish team end and I started look for new ones. For 180k we got NEC and from Peru San Martin for littlebit less. We get stratight foreign intake from this countries and another Korean from Busan. Bosvelt might look like partner for Helender in future. Got even some minutes in this season due to injuries. Baranowski is for sure wonderkid.

DazRTaylor Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) End of Season Review Season 2025/26 Sporting Club d'Escaldes Season Summary An incredible season where we secured promotion via the promotion playoffs after dominating our league season. Season Details League Table - By winning our group byfifteen points, it show just how much we dominated. League Fixtures 1 & 2 - We were by far the best side in our group as we churned out the victories. Promotion Playoffs - We secured a narrow one nil aggregate win over Inter d'Escaldes Reserves to secure promotion to the second tier. Friendlies - We only won two matches in what was a tough pre season campaign. Squad - The players have improved slightly though we do still lack quality. Squad Dynamics - After such a good season, this has improved considerably. Transfers In - None. Transfers Out - None. Youth Candidates - We do not currently have a youth academy, so there was no intake this year. Finances - We made another small profit though are still a long way off starting a youth academy. Key Players Iván Gallardo - What a season from our frontman. He scored a phenomenal 42 goals in 25 appearances. Régis Guillet - The central midfielder was once again one of our best players. André Meireles - Playing on the right wing, he had his best season to date. Iván García Fernández - One of our central defenders, he was very reliable. Alexandre Monteiro - The central midfield partner of Régis Guillet, they enjoyed a fruitful partnership. Next Season I am not sure what to expect, maybe a mid table finish?

BustaRaymes Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) Bóltfelagið Royn Betri deildin menn - 2036 So we messed up so bad that I messed up as well by not screenshotting the table, and I'm already into the new season. So let's look at our decline: I hate it. We came in 4th, still Conference League but it's getting troublesome. As an upside, we beat Vikingur at their ground to record their 4th loss in the last 7 seasons. So there. Europe We drew well, with trips to Andorra, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. Grasshopper was a bit too strong for us, but the home difference wasn't as big as it looks and we actually beat them away! Proud moment: :') Squad 4th place was in part (or mostly.. yes probably mostly) my fault for trying a 4-2-3-1, reverting to 4-4-2 was the solution. Toftum had a good first season in goal, and Olsen turned unhappy after about 6 games so he's leaving. Andreasen is as good a centre back as he is a midfielder, being our best man at the back. Mubarak came into the team earlier than expected but excelled a few times and develops really well Up front, Mikkelsen outshone Wiberg. After retaining his position up front after reverting to 2 strikers, he showed he deserves a place in this team. Youth intake Batches are getting smaller but the quality is still there. Rani Poulsen is a beast already and makes me doubt AGAIN about the 4-4-2. Just leave me alone, HOYD. Too many good midfielders to just use 2 of them. So ofcourse the HOYD piles on it with another lovely AMC in Djurhuus. Jakobsen is another left back, but seeing as our current options are unambitious, he has a good chance of getting in the team soon. Suni Poulsen is another very decent striker and an able backup for our front two. Another one I didn't screenshot is our goalkeeper Vang: he's mostly great because vang in Dutch means catch.

It was a joy to watch our team play this season. We managed to win the league, and gain promotion to the highest league in Hungary! But that was not all, because we also had a great cup run. We somehow managed to get to the Final! We lost the Final against Ferencváros, the champion of Hungary and by far the best team in the highest league. But to play a final in our very first season is just great. We had so many good players this season. Let's start with Krisztián Kerekes, who scored 29 goals in total for us. But also Dániel Bereczki, Levente Szabó, Anton Bidzilya, Richárd Krnács, László Varjas and Ádám Ujvárosi were very important for us. Youth player Ádám Ulbert 24a, who played in our first XI directly after he came to our club after the Youth Intake, played 7 matches and even scored a goal. I already showed the youth intake in a previous post, so I won't show it again in this post. So what can we expect next season? Probably a very, very tough season. It's a small league (12 teams) so you'll play eachother 3 times. There are some good teams, and two teams will relegate after the season. So we will need a bit of luck to survive I guess. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post VillaSmith Posted June 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2023 Season 5 - 2027/28 - Vanarama National League North League Table - Fixtures - Squad - Transfers League - What a season, promoted at last! We were ran close in the end by Banbury but we managed to pull out of a bit of a tail spin at the end of the season to secure the title with 1 game to go, we were at one point in danger of blowing a 9 point lead, but got over the line in the end which gave me an opportunity to play a lot of youngsters in the final game. This season was probably defined by some key prospects stepping up to become key figures in the team. Whilst many of them were important players last season, it was only really Oliver that was a consistent performer for me, but this year Atkinson, Stefanowicz and McDonald all had their most productive seasons with 28, 22 and 11 goal contributions respectively. Sang became even more important and one of the first names on the team sheet, and Pearce stepped up to fill the role of the aging Alex Jones brilliantly, netting 28 goals the highest of any youth prospect so far. Also Billy Baker had a ridiculous season of growth, going from Cockerill-Mollett's 2.5 star rated back up, to the first name on the team sheet and the highest rated player in the squad at 4.5 stars. In fact, his progress has been so rapid, that he is now refusing to sign a contract with us as the squad isn't good enough for him. He has one year left on his youth contract, so we'll see if the rest of the team can catch up enough by the end of next season, otherwise we run a big risk of losing him on a free. Cup - Progress made in the FA Trophy finally! The furthest we have gone in this competition, making it all the way to the quarters before Ebbsfleet knocked us out, who were themselves challenging for the VNS title. Disappointing to not take advantage of our good form this year and make it further, but I feel we'll have plenty of time to try and win it over the next few years as I can't see us getting to League Two any time soon. in the FA Cup we managed aboth trip to the third round! We were extremely fortunate with our qualifying games, with Gainsborough providing the only real test, but with them at the wrong end of the VNN it was still relatively easy. We came up against Harrogate for the third year in a row and have become a real bogey team for them, managing to catche them in a run of horrible form. In the second round was probably our biggest scalp of the save so far with League One Morecambe, another team that was in a bad run at the time and we managed to take advantage of their fragility by scoring twice late on after conceded an early penalty. The third round saw another Premier League away day, this time to Southampton, which didn't generate quite as much as the stadium was only about 60% full, but still a good boost to the finances that allowed more investment in the youth programme, getting up to Excellent in both Recruitment and Coaching now. Youth Intake Davor Handzic [28A] - Jimmy Cook [28B] - Ruari Croly [28C] - Greg Whiteman [28D] - Tyreece Sang [28E] - Adil Mohammed [28F] - Joe Robinson [28G] - Ben James [28H] - Mike Ekwalla [28I] - John Dopson [28J] - Philip Prince [28K] - Daniel Atkinson [28L] Probably our best intake yet, nearly every player was classed as an elite talent. Handzic is the pick of the bunch, good enough to go straight in to the first team, a possible replacement for Alex Bradley and an upgrade on O'Brien. Jimmy Cook looks like he could be a long term challenger to Hart and Whiteman will likely be around the first team to challenge for McDonald's place. Croly looks like he has the potential to get a place up front, but I'll likely bleed him in slowly as we have quite a few candidates for that position. Mohammed came through at a useful time with Baker's refusal to sign a contract, so we may have a natural successor for him, but whether he can progress like Baker seems unlikely with his personality. And the last player I'll call out is Robinson as we have few CB's currently so he'll be a useful rotation player alongside Williams to deputise for Sang and Hart. Bring on the National League! 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michiganhugefan Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Associação Ferroviária de Esportes (2026 Season Update) Leagues and Cups Brazilian Super Cup Spoiler We got thrashed by Flamego in this one, it didn't help that we were down to 9 men, although we did get hit a milestone in this one, as Sérgio Luiz (22c) scored the first ever Senior Team goal by one of my tagged players (and Marcos Antônio (23b) was my first tagged player to be red carded in this game ) Not a super important trophy to lose, but a reminder of Flamengo's quality. São Paulo State Spoiler We heavily rotated the squad for the Regular Season portion of the Sāo Paulo State Championship this year. With the Copa Libertadores Group Stage happening at the same time and also wanting to give some of my better youth prospects more game time, it felt like it was the smartest decision. The way the São Paulo State works is you are in a group of 4 and you play every team except the other 3 teams in your group. The top two teams move on to the playoff portion. With the Group this year being 2 First Division Teams, a 3rd Division Team and a 4th Division Team, and the board only caring if we qualified for the Quarterfinals, we did that quite comfortably. Then we played our first team players in the playoffs and won the whole thing. We even set a record Brazilian Cup Spoiler A year after winning this entire thing we heavily rotated the squad because fixture congestion is ridiculous in Brazil and we lost in the 3rd round, oh well. Brazilian First Division Spoiler We fought Flamengo the entire way and nearly came out on top, but Flamengo are really the class of Brazil at the moment. A broken leg for our stalwart Ball Winner Caio Vinicius about halfway through the season didn't help matters either. Our Vinicius Leonardo came 2nd in Central Defender of the Year, but no one else on the team came close to an award and no one made the team of the year. Also Endrick was the First Division Player of the Year but came 2nd in Striker of the year (also he needs to leave this league, please, please, he scored 63 goals in 66 games this season.) Copa Libertadores Spoiler We ended up with a favorable draw for the group stage, dodging any other Brazilian Teams and won 6 out of the 6 group stage games. The knockouts were a different story, we comfortably made it out of the 2nd round against Emelec, but ended up having Penalty shootouts in the Quarterfinal (against Colo Colo again) and Semifinal (against Ceara) round after losing 1st leg advantages. the Shootout in the QF went 14 rounds, but the Semifinal one only went 4 rounds, which was better for my heart. Luckily for us our most feared team, Flamengo, was knocked out in the Quarterfinals by Ceara and we ended up in the finals vs. Palmeiras. We have fared well versus Palmeiras in the past and even with the higher stakes, this match went as well as the past has, with us strolling out 3-0 winners. I felt slightly better at winning this because we did start one of our tagged prospects in the final (Jefferson Luis 23g) and brought another one on as a substitute (Guilherme Machado 23h). That's kind of funny because we really had 3 Tagged players fully bedded into the 1st team squad this year, Valnei 22b, Sergio Luiz 22c, and Marcos Antonio 23b, but none of them played in the final, whether through suspension, injury or need in the game. Endrick, please leave! So that's actually part one of the challenge completed, and to think we came 5 points off completing the entire thing this year (although that would've been a little bit of a shame, I'm enjoying this very much at the moment), Flamengo is a formidable foe in the league and we'll see whether we can capture the 2nd half of the challenge in the upcoming years. Youth intake Spoiler Oh no, Palmeiras stole our uh, worst academy player. Anyways Another Golden Generation as coined by our HOYD, and it looks very promising, we're absolutely flush with cash and I've been making timely requests to the board so we've absolutely pumped up our facilities at this point, which were frankly good to start with. With us being so rich, I've just signed and tagged everyone my HOYD recommended, even the ones who might not really be up to a standard that I'd like. 26A Already some great Technicals, and we tend to have our players grow physically, where he seems to have some good room to grow along with some nice raw stats. 26B Lots of potential here, a little short for a center back but he has other positions he might be more suited for, possibly Center Mid, if he doesn't gain any height. Good versatility already and lots of room to grow. 26C Another one that looks like he could grow into something quite good. Very short, but I'm intrigued by his skillset, love the aggression. 26D Left Back is a position that could become a hole position if we have to continue far into the future and there's some nice things in this prospect. Good tackling and other technicals at 16, with room to grow physically in the important areas for a Wing Back in my system. 26E Nice CB prospect. 26F-26G Solid Striker Prospects, slightly different profiles, 26G seems more developed physically, while 26F is more developed in the Mental and Technical game starting out. 26H-26O Tagged Players Update Spoiler 2022 I thought I'd switch it up slightly for my 2022 tagged player updates and show their attribute Progress pages since they graduated the academy. 22A He's just not improved enough over the past 4 years, and he'll most likely end up either sold (if I can find anyone to take him on) or released by the end of the next year when his contract is up. He sometimes makes the bench if there are conflicting games and he's even played a small amount this year, but his race is close to run, disappointing. Career: 6 Appearances 0 Goals 0 Assists 22B He's coming along nicely, he still sits as our number 4 Center back, and with certain injuries this year he got good time there, but he's also our 3rd Right Back now, and also covers there some as well, he's still our top tagged player in appearances, although another tagged player has become a regular starter in the team, something 22b is not really close to at the moment, because of the strength in our squad at center back. Career: 69 Appearances 0 Goals 2 Assists 22C 22C has taken the backup striker spot in our squad. He can also cover Right Attacking Midfield, which is a nice bonus, but if our striker is ever missing or goes missing during the game, 22c covers that spot, and he scored 16 goals this year, good for about 150 minutes per goal on the pitch. Definitely the current Striker of the future and could definitely earn the starting striker spot in the very near future. Career: 58 Appearances 16 Goals 2 Assists So for 2022, that's two hits and one massive miss, I went back and looked at how everyone of these guys were rated when I started at the club (as they graduated the academy in the clubs 4th division year) and for two of them to be well bedded into the 1st team seems like a pretty good outcome for this intake. Everyone untagged in the 2022 intake has already left the club by this point. 2023 23A 23B Our First Tagged Player to be a Regular First Team Starter. He really started to show up for the team as we rotated the squad through the state championship and with the decline of Marqunhos, he slotted nicely into the starting lineup alongside Caio Vinicius. There are some worries that I have with him. He tends to get sent off a fair bit, especially when playing Ball winner, as he had to do while Vinicius has been injured. The "Tries to Play Way Out Of Trouble" Trait also can be kind of ugly (or very very pretty if it works) which I don't particularly like on a midfielder sitting just in front of defense as our Ball Winner does, so I'm trying to play him more as our box to box sitting farther forward. 23C 23D Definitely good enough to be on our bench as a fringe choice with versatility through the middle. Not playing too much because we have a lot of okay players at the positions he is best at. 23E 23F 23G Got a fairly decent amount of first team exposure this year. He's not really a ball winner, so I've been trying to work him into the Box to Box role. He even scored this year and started the Copa Libertadores Final this year. (23b was suspended) Excited for him to keep developing and providing support to the first team, at this point he's basically my 4th Center Mid. 23H With his versatility across the backline he tends to end up on the bench as a utility who normally does not end up being needed. Due to a left back shortage he did end up in the Copa Libertadores final to close it out. 23I 23J 2024 24A 24B 24C 24D 24E 24F 24G 24H 24I 2025 25A 25B 25C So if you look at the Season stats you might notice that I started him in the last game of the season. It was a full tagged players squad because we had already secured 2nd place and could not go higher or lower. So the squad was terrible. And 25c got a 12 save shutout. He did end with an absurd 4.33 XG Prevented per 90 on the season because of this one game, so if that's any glimpse of the future, he'll end up being very good. Or it's just one lucky game. 25D 25E 25F 25G 25H 25I 25J 25K 25L 25M 25N 25O I don't know how much longer this save will go, since we have just the league portion left before it would be finished. There are some cracks in the squad that are starting to form, specifically certain players getting older and not having good replacements below them. And we are very susceptible to injury. A combination of injury and decline can prove to take an important player for the club and drop them to a level where they probably aren't worth playing anymore. On the positive front we are cash rich, the facilities have been majorly improved and we've started a link with a feeder team to possibly send some players on loan in the future. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAwtunes Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 After a couple of weeks of faff, I've picked my latest team and made some kits. I'm off join Indonesia weirdly, our third kit colours are the same as our home kit @VillaSmithGood to see a fellow Villa fan here. UTV! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaSmith Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Season 6 - 2028/29 - Vanarama National League League Table - Fixtures - Squad - Transfers League - A tough first season in the National League, but we managed to steer clear from relegation for much of the season, starting off well picking up 19 points from the first 12 games which gave us some much needed breathing room as we hit some turbulent form between October and December. We were pretty patchy from there on until we had a bit of a purple patch in February and March to get us above 50 points which was my survival target at the start of the season. From there on out we were in pretty bad form and I rotated heavily to give some younger players game time so we perhaps finished lower than we could have but I was still happy to have survived quite comfortably in our first season. Our team is now close to 100% youth players with Yeomans being the only non-newgen still getting regular game time, and even he came from the youth academy, and I'll likely phase Hart, Cockerill-Mollett and Jones out over the next season. Cup - A poor season in the cups this year as the games right in the middle of our poor form. We fell at the first hurdle in the FA Trophy, getting knocked out by VNN Halifax Town in what was a pretty disappointing performance. We did slightly better in the FA Cup, although we required a replay to get past Southport in the qualifying round. Barnsley away awaited in the first round and they were just too good for us, we couldn't get in the game at all and only got a consolation late on. Youth Intake Taylor Bonnevie [29A] - Andrew Connolly [29B] - Keith Curran [29C] - Evans Ackah [29D] - Nathan Watson [29E] - John Brooks [29F] - Jarrod Evitts [29G] - Jakob Lawley [29H] - Llion Williams [29I] - Markland Dennis [29J] - Sam Aldridge [29K] - Pat Brady [29L] - Haukur Már Ottesen [29M] - Danildo Nunes [29N] What an intake! I've invested so much in youth facilities that YR and JC are both now at exceptional, which I believe is the highest they will go, plus the board upgraded our Youth Level to Level 3 over the summer, which has massively paid off with 14(!) 4.5-5 star potential players, although it's giving my finances a bit of a beating now. There's too many to go through, but Bonnevie is the pick of the bunch, and will likely go straight into the first team next season, whilst Connolly, Ackah, Watson, Brooks, Lawley and Ottesen all got some good game time at the end of the season, with Ottesen even becoming our youngest ever goalscorer at 15yrs 296ds, and will likely be squad players going forward. I was also happy to get some decent FBs again in this intake as Baker is still refusing a new contract, so will be free to leave in the summer, hopefully he'll stick around on a non-contract but we'll have to wait and see. On the whole I'm really excited for this group. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedrike2021 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 8 horas atrás, michiganhugefan disse: Associação Ferroviária de Esportes (2026 Season Update) Leagues and Cups Brazilian Super Cup Mostrar conteúdo oculto We got thrashed by Flamego in this one, it didn't help that we were down to 9 men, although we did get hit a milestone in this one, as Sérgio Luiz (22c) scored the first ever Senior Team goal by one of my tagged players (and Marcos Antônio (23b) was my first tagged player to be red carded in this game ) Not a super important trophy to lose, but a reminder of Flamengo's quality. São Paulo State Mostrar conteúdo oculto We heavily rotated the squad for the Regular Season portion of the Sāo Paulo State Championship this year. With the Copa Libertadores Group Stage happening at the same time and also wanting to give some of my better youth prospects more game time, it felt like it was the smartest decision. The way the São Paulo State works is you are in a group of 4 and you play every team except the other 3 teams in your group. The top two teams move on to the playoff portion. With the Group this year being 2 First Division Teams, a 3rd Division Team and a 4th Division Team, and the board only caring if we qualified for the Quarterfinals, we did that quite comfortably. Then we played our first team players in the playoffs and won the whole thing. We even set a record Brazilian Cup Mostrar conteúdo oculto A year after winning this entire thing we heavily rotated the squad because fixture congestion is ridiculous in Brazil and we lost in the 3rd round, oh well. Brazilian First Division Ocultar conteúdo We fought Flamengo the entire way and nearly came out on top, but Flamengo are really the class of Brazil at the moment. A broken leg for our stalwart Ball Winner Caio Vinicius about halfway through the season didn't help matters either. Our Vinicius Leonardo came 2nd in Central Defender of the Year, but no one else on the team came close to an award and no one made the team of the year. Also Endrick was the First Division Player of the Year but came 2nd in Striker of the year (also he needs to leave this league, please, please, he scored 63 goals in 66 games this season.) Copa Libertadores Ocultar conteúdo We ended up with a favorable draw for the group stage, dodging any other Brazilian Teams and won 6 out of the 6 group stage games. The knockouts were a different story, we comfortably made it out of the 2nd round against Emelec, but ended up having Penalty shootouts in the Quarterfinal (against Colo Colo again) and Semifinal (against Ceara) round after losing 1st leg advantages. the Shootout in the QF went 14 rounds, but the Semifinal one only went 4 rounds, which was better for my heart. Luckily for us our most feared team, Flamengo, was knocked out in the Quarterfinals by Ceara and we ended up in the finals vs. Palmeiras. We have fared well versus Palmeiras in the past and even with the higher stakes, this match went as well as the past has, with us strolling out 3-0 winners. I felt slightly better at winning this because we did start one of our tagged prospects in the final (Jefferson Luis 23g) and brought another one on as a substitute (Guilherme Machado 23h). That's kind of funny because we really had 3 Tagged players fully bedded into the 1st team squad this year, Valnei 22b, Sergio Luiz 22c, and Marcos Antonio 23b, but none of them played in the final, whether through suspension, injury or need in the game. Endrick, please leave! So that's actually part one of the challenge completed, and to think we came 5 points off completing the entire thing this year (although that would've been a little bit of a shame, I'm enjoying this very much at the moment), Flamengo is a formidable foe in the league and we'll see whether we can capture the 2nd half of the challenge in the upcoming years. Youth intake Mostrar conteúdo oculto Oh no, Palmeiras stole our uh, worst academy player. Anyways Another Golden Generation as coined by our HOYD, and it looks very promising, we're absolutely flush with cash and I've been making timely requests to the board so we've absolutely pumped up our facilities at this point, which were frankly good to start with. With us being so rich, I've just signed and tagged everyone my HOYD recommended, even the ones who might not really be up to a standard that I'd like. 26A Already some great Technicals, and we tend to have our players grow physically, where he seems to have some good room to grow along with some nice raw stats. 26B Lots of potential here, a little short for a center back but he has other positions he might be more suited for, possibly Center Mid, if he doesn't gain any height. Good versatility already and lots of room to grow. 26C Another one that looks like he could grow into something quite good. Very short, but I'm intrigued by his skillset, love the aggression. 26D Left Back is a position that could become a hole position if we have to continue far into the future and there's some nice things in this prospect. Good tackling and other technicals at 16, with room to grow physically in the important areas for a Wing Back in my system. 26E Nice CB prospect. 26F-26G Solid Striker Prospects, slightly different profiles, 26G seems more developed physically, while 26F is more developed in the Mental and Technical game starting out. 26H-26O Tagged Players Update Mostrar conteúdo oculto 2022 I thought I'd switch it up slightly for my 2022 tagged player updates and show their attribute Progress pages since they graduated the academy. 22A He's just not improved enough over the past 4 years, and he'll most likely end up either sold (if I can find anyone to take him on) or released by the end of the next year when his contract is up. He sometimes makes the bench if there are conflicting games and he's even played a small amount this year, but his race is close to run, disappointing. Career: 6 Appearances 0 Goals 0 Assists 22B He's coming along nicely, he still sits as our number 4 Center back, and with certain injuries this year he got good time there, but he's also our 3rd Right Back now, and also covers there some as well, he's still our top tagged player in appearances, although another tagged player has become a regular starter in the team, something 22b is not really close to at the moment, because of the strength in our squad at center back. Career: 69 Appearances 0 Goals 2 Assists 22C 22C has taken the backup striker spot in our squad. He can also cover Right Attacking Midfield, which is a nice bonus, but if our striker is ever missing or goes missing during the game, 22c covers that spot, and he scored 16 goals this year, good for about 150 minutes per goal on the pitch. Definitely the current Striker of the future and could definitely earn the starting striker spot in the very near future. Career: 58 Appearances 16 Goals 2 Assists So for 2022, that's two hits and one massive miss, I went back and looked at how everyone of these guys were rated when I started at the club (as they graduated the academy in the clubs 4th division year) and for two of them to be well bedded into the 1st team seems like a pretty good outcome for this intake.

Popular Post Dr Pepper Man Posted June 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2023 Basford secure unexpected promotion. after a slowish start we motored on around the end of september and we went on an unbeaten 21 game run catapulting ourselves to the top and looking dead certs for the title. Sadly 2 injuries to our captain Dalton Willimont-Beazeley and our star striker Kenny Setford halted our run and we eneded up losing 5 of our last 15 while only winning 5 and drawing 5 meaning we finished 2nd. The board are expecting a promotion charge next season but i highly doubt thatll come to pass. We had a poor Intake but one player came through who will go straight into our first team. French Striker Gabriel Gallet looks like a goal machine and can even reach Premier League potential. Whether i can keep him happy enough to stay long term will be the challenge. With my past 2 intakes im hoping to bring some through this coming season and hopefully can release some of the fringe players at the end of next season. No-one leaves this time around as I utilised extensions i had put on players contracts. Highest player rating was Harry McParland with a 7.17 rating and top scorer with 32 league goals was Kenny Setford. Im expecting to field bids for Setford in the off season, but will try to hold onto our biggest asset. Bring on Next season in LEAGUE ONE 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaSmith Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Season 8 - 2029/30 - Vanarama National League League Table - Fixtures - Squad - Transfers League - A fantastic season despite the mid table finish that had us in the top half for most of it, picking up 41 points in our first 28 games, only to pick up just 16 in the last 18 matches, but that still provided enough to secure Tamworth's highest ever finish! We changed things up this season, switching to a Narrow 433 to try to accomodate our best players, which saw the likes of Stefanowicz, McDonald and Jones slowly phased out as I began to rely more on players like Ottesen, Bonnevie and Handzic. Watson also progressed nicely this season and displaced Yeomans from the team, although I retrained him as a CB as he's a useful back up for the position, whilst I started to rotate Sang more with Brooks and Yeomans, with Robinson becoming the heart of the defence. We progressed nicely over the season, despite the downturn in form and I'm happy with how we're shaping up. The next goal now is a top half finish and hopefully professionalism so we can start developing our young talent a bit more. Cup - Another disappointing showing in the FA Trophy, but at least we went out to Tranmere this year who went out in the semi-fianl and got to the playoff final too. In the FA Cup we had another trip to the fourth round, playing non-league teams up to the third round until we had the relegation threatened Hartlepool, who we took to a replay and beat in front of a sell out at the Lamb Ground. Brighton at the Amex was our reward in the fourth round, but like our last trip to the south coast, the attendance was at around 60% which meant the gate receipts were quite as lucrative as I would've liked, but it still bumped the coffers considerably. Finances - As mentioned, the FA Cup run helped boost our finances, which was sorely needed after last year's half a million pound loss, I think I may have to just try to make the most of my intake for a few years and then consider scaling back the youth facilities. We did get a bump in our fans numbers, but we'll need to grow a bit more quickly to keep up with our facilities. Hopefully we can compete at the right end of the table and have a promotion run soon which can boost that further. However we are starting to be able to loan out players and even got a loan fee for Ben Hart, so we may be able to start profiting off some players soon or at least get some of the wage burden eased whilst also developing the young players. Youth Intake Aaron Baptiste [30A] - Aleksejs Morozs [30B] - Kyle Rivers [30C] - Adam Rowe [30D] - Gardner Blaney [30E] - Liam Edwards [30F] - Adriano Muzonho [30G] - Gerard Burke [30H] - Ben Warren [30I] - Nicky Rollo [30J] - Harry Cooling [30K] - Egzon Elezi [30L] - Ben Cervantes [30M] Another great intake, although not many immediate first team candidates considering we have a fairly settled side now, although Muzonho having a bit of pace might make him useful now I'm playing with three strikers. Baptiste is the stand out and another candidate to be the long term succesor to Hart, and since Hart is starting to be difficult with contract negotiations, it may be time to try to cash in on him soon, so gettting players like Baptiste (and Warren) to go alongside Cook and Curran from previous intakes, I feel well stocked between the sticks so it may not be the worst thing in the world for Hart to move on. Quite afew decent wingers in this intake which is typical as I've just stopped using them, so it may mean I look at switching back to a formation with wide players in a couple of years. I've tied down most players to contracts with extension clauses in now, but I'm starting to get interest from Championship and even a few Premier League clubs for these players, but no fees offered yet, but this may be the intake that starts to turn a profit for me. And now I'm caught up to the season I'm actually playing 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Gato_In_Goal Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Brønshøj BK - Youth Intake Season 21 Not too bad of an intake if any of the top guys develop. Nobody looks like a sure prospect, but time will tell. Excited to get our first youth from an affiliate in McCarron 21c! Knudsen 21a has the potential, but doesn't have wowing stats or personality. Pedersen 21b has better current ability, but there are question marks over his potential. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennuk Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Badak Lampung - Season Seven - End of Year Review League - 3rd Our best finish so far and we do look like we have taken a massive step up. We were the second best team going forward this season and we looked like we had a chance against any team we came across. We were actually in the title race, but went on a poor run where we only picked up 3 points in 5 games at the end of Feb/start of March. I am pretty confident that we can challenge for the title every season now, unless we have a few bad intakes in a row of course. Indonesian Cup (3rd in a row) We did it AGAIN!! The 3rd time in a row we get to the final and win it! Winning the first leg 3-2 really set us up for success, as our Home form has always been pretty good. Also Ismael Hardianto (YP04A) with 5 goals in the the two legs is a pretty incredible feat. This also means we will be in Continental competition yet again next season. Speaking of which... Asian Confederations Cup - ASEAN Zone Final This is one step below where we got to last year, where we got to the Interzone final (which is the real final of the competition). We played Johor DT who coincidentally also finished above us in the group stage (we went through as the best 2nd place team). It is a one game match (not two legs) for the ASEAN Zone Final and we played as well as Johor but they got through with a goal in Extra time. We did not really play well in what was a pretty close tense game. This is going to be the real challenge for this save, as this is just the 2nd level of the Asian Continental competition and we are still not as good as a few of the teams that appear at this level. We did however get 217k for losing in this round, so that is the silver lining, as at this level (in this league) that is a huge amount of money. The Squad We now have one of the strongest squads in the league. With even some of our rotation/younger promising players going off to other League One sides and playing a lot of games. Only one legacy player (our GK) left and he played 56 games this season. He will be replaced in the coming years, but we have not had many strong GKs in our intakes so far. Ismael Hardianto (YP04A) has been fairly consistent with 37 goals in 46 starts and was top goalscorer in the Indonesian Cup with 10 goals in 10 games!Bima Yulianto (YP04D) our best defender and first full Indonesian National is refusing to sign a new contract, so that is a big blow as this will be his last season with the club, with his contract expiring in June. Budi Haryanto (YP06A) is one of our most promising youngsters and had a good season, although had a few injury problems, and being most natural as a Striker with Hardianto scoring for fun is a challenge. He has also been trained to play as a Mezzalla in the CM position, which he does to a relatively good standard. Finances We have a pretty healthy balance now that we have been winning the Indonesian Cup and been in continental competition. We are well under our wage budget and of course not using any of our transfer budget. Considering the highest transfers in the league are around 100k, we could theoretically buy 3 of the top players in the league with our balance. Other News Most importantly The Indonesian League got an extra 2 places in the Asian Champions League! This is huge for this save and hopefully the other Indonesian clubs can do better than they have been doing and continue to improve the nations ranking! I also came 2nd in Manager of the Year and started on a new coaching course. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazRTaylor Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) End of Season Review Season 2026/27 Sporting Club d'Escaldes Season Summary It was a solid if unspectacular first season in the second tier. Season Details League Table - By finishing secenth, we were comfortably clear of relegation. League Fixtures 1 & 2 - Our form fell off a cliff after Christmas as we struggled to string some good performances together. Friendlies - It was a mixed bag of results during pre season. Squad - We are punching way above our weight. Squad Dynamics - This could be better, though after such a poor run of form it is to be expected. Transfers In - None. Transfers Out - We lost our top scorer as he wanted to leave for a new club. Youth Candidates - We do not have a youth academy so there was no intake this year. Finances - Another small profit was made though we need a lot more to start an academy. Key Players Régis Guillet - Our best player was exceptional in the first half of the season before his form deserted him. André Meireles - Whilst not finding the heights of last year, the right winger was good enough. Alexandre Monteiro - It was another solid season in central midfield for the young Andorran. Diego Vásquez - The left winger found his form from two years ago and once again became an automatic selection. Cédric Millet - The centre half was one of our best defenders this year. Next Season I just want an improvement in our league position.

Dr Pepper Man Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Basford survive with 2 games remaining. Our season was a tough one. winning the least amount of games since i took over. The season was almost completely de-railed as my owners accepted an offer my star player Kenny Setford which dearly depleted us, the club also sold our most encouraging youngster Gabriel Gallet who could have become our best player. had this not been a youth academy challenge i would have resigned at this point. what makes this more frustrating is the owner is looking to step aside despite our success in recent years. The club struggles to stay above water financially. We had a decent intake and signed 15 year old New Zealander Justin Drost. he looks like another top prospect so this time i included a £20million release clause in the hope it would stop him being sold by the board. % of my intake who were out of loan have improved significantly over the season so they will be coming into the first team on return. Zayn Durose and Steve Kavanagh will be released and Farrend Hore will be sold to Stockport. Will be looking to sell 5 or 6 next season as i would like to completely rebuild at this point. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Gato_In_Goal Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Brønshøj BK - Review Season 21 Disappointing season given what we were expected to achieve. We never were able to find consistent goals and it really sunk us accross all competitions. It's been 2 straight season now in which Johansen 13e has not scored more than 6 or averaged higher than a 6.70. Luckily, Fisker 19a will be able to pick up the slack. He's improved a lot, but just wasn't quite ready this season to make a big impact. He scored 7, averaged a 6.74, and will start next season. On the last day of the season, we beat Brondby to manage to sneak into the Champions League, but we will have to play the qualifying rounds again. I think so much squad rotation last season is what prevented us from finding a rythym on attack, so not looking forward to that. Also managed to lose the cup final for the second year running. Given that we nearly missed the knockout phase alltogether, a run to the round of 16 is not too bad. Especially when you lose to the eventual winners in Man City. We've now been knocked out by them 3 of 4 years, and twice in the R16. Next season we really need to push to perform in the league phase and get those automatic spots into the R16 that avoid rough draws. Kobenhavn had a great run in the Champions League, also losing in the R16, but finishing in the top 8 in the league phase. Key players: Spoiler Have another small stadium expansion coming through. I'm thinking after next season I might ask for a new stadium. Nothing in, lots of deadweight cleared out. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riebow Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Oghab Tehran Season Review (27/28) League: A 2nd season of mid table mediocrity. The positive is that some of our youngsters have overtaken some originals as best players. Despite an up and down season at some point we were just outside of the CL places. It's a league where everyone can beat everyone. Spoiler Cup: We made it one round further this year, getting knocked out in the 5th round. Intake: A decent intake with lots of high potential players. We'll give them plenty of time to develop. Spoiler Finances and upgrades No upgrades unfortunately. There's no price money, so my finances basically survive due to home games against Persepolis and Esteghial. I wish there was a way to get the attendance grow quicker. Next season It's a very competitive league, so we might find ourselves inside the first 4 spots without really trying to. The focus remains on developing our players. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

XaW Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Unfortunately, my laptop decided life was futile and decided to die, so I had to get another one. So I bought one that is too expensive, and way overkill for FM, but here we are. That means that my Luxembourg save is long gone, and I need to start a new one. As I don't really know where to go, I'm going to start a few saves and see if anything sticks before I post much here... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaSmith Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Season 9 - 2030/31 - Vanarama National League League Table - Fixtures - Squad - Transfers League - We are Football League! An amazing season, we started off well which gave me hope we could get into the playoffs, but everything just clicked around November as we went on a 21 game unbeaten run to put us right into the title challenge. We played some really good football and the 433 we're currently using is getting the most out of the players, especially upfront with Oliver and Pearce having fantastic seasons, whilst Ottesen became a useful battering ram as part of the front three. We also benefitted from a settled side with our starting XI now firmly entrenched, but also the back up players kicking on this season so that resting players often didn't cause a huge drop off in quality or performance. We're perhaps still a bit undercooked for League Two, but professionalisation will help massively in that regard. Matt Oliver became the first player to over 300 games and 100 goals for the club, and is fast approaching Daniel Creaney's goalscoring record of 115 goals, but still has a way to go to reach Yeomans' 400 appearances for the club, especially since he's still playing for us. We finally managed to tie down Baker to a new contract after having him for two years on a non-contract and seeing teams like Bolton and Swindon sniff around him, so hopefully we may be able to get some money for him if they are still interested over the next few years. This was the club's highest ever position, and first ever promotion to the Football League, which meant I got bumped up to icon status, and hopefully not too far from Legend Cup - A disappointing season for the cups, although I suppose it allowed me to focus on the league a bit more this season. We did go a round further in the FA Trophy, but were knocked out on pens in the fourth round after a truly awful performance against relegation threatend Bath City, so we couldn't even match our best run in this competition in what is hopefully our last ever entry. In the FA Cup we got through the qualifying and first rounds fairly comfortably, but ended up away to Cambridge who were just too good for us in the second round. Finances - No money spinning cup runs this season so we had a bit of a hit to our finances, which wasn't great considering that professionalisation will see us lose even more money next season. We are expanding the stadium to meet league requirements for next year, which should hopefully see some improved income, especially as we had a bump to our supporter numbers too and are projected to sell far more season tickets for next season, but the loan will add an extra £10k a month to our expenditure. We may need to seriously start considering either offering players out or scaling back the youth investment. EDIT - Forgot to mention that I made my first player sale this season, Milosz Stefanowicz returned to Poland for £10k. With the move to a narrow 433 there was little room left for him and he didn't adapt well to CM, and he got upset at his lack of game time so I cashed in as much as I could before his contract ran out. A bit sad to let him go as he'd made 293 appearances for me and contributed 24 goals and 49 assists, only Oliver (110G/32A), Pearce (99G/32A) and Atkinson (41G/64A) have contributed more goals out of all my youth candidates. Youth Intake Alex Hailey [31A] - Kenniel Francis-Burrell [31B] - Jan Arne Skjeldestad [31C] - Richard George [31D] - Jordon Dundas [31E] - Brennan Dawkins [31F] - Jarrod Carter-Byrne [31G] - Michael Smith [31H] - Sam Geary-Heaton [31I] A decent intake, one I'd be very happy with if it wasn't for the huge talent pools we had the last couple of years. Hailey looks a decent prospect and adds a bit more pace (relatively) up front for us, and even scored 4 and assisted 1 in the 7 matches he played in this season, so I'm excited to see how he'll do next season. There's some pretty decent personalities across the board with a couple of exceptions, so I'm hopeful this batch can meet their potential. I like the look of Skjeldestad, Dawkins and Carter-Byrne, so we may get some more depth at the back out of this intake too. My secondary aim for this challenge is to finally get a son on this game after 15+ years of playing, and we had two players called Smith in this year's intake, but neither were my son or even related for that matter.

The_Gato_In_Goal Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Unfortunately, it seems the goalscoring woes of last season are still an issue. After 5 matches, we sit on 5 points and 9th in the league. We are top of the xG table however and are underpeforming our xG by 7 goals (in 5 games!), It's frustrating and seemingly unfixable. What can you do when all your players can't finish chances. Defensively, we aren't struggling. We are keeping less of the ball than we used to, but it doesn't explain the complete lack of goals. Started the season with a solid 0-0 draw away to Kobenhavn. I'll take this any day of the week, and am not too concerned about our lack of chances. Then the alarm bells start ringing at home to AGF when we escape 1-0 victors. This is a 3-0 or 4-0 win in years past and we were dominant with 67% of the ball and holding them to no shots on target. Then a 1-0 defeat away to Nordsjaelland. This is a tough game, but we are clearly the better side and can't convert our clear cut chance, and have a goal disallowed. Johansen 13e puts in a 6.1 rating up top. Then we sink even further with a 1-0 defeat again at home to Esbjerg. They did create a few chances with their limited amount of shots, so conceding the goal was deserved (although it was a longshot from a corner). But, we couldn't convert our 2 clear cut chances or the 2.63 xG into a single goal. Fisker 19a played this one up top and put in a 6.3. Same story in the next match as we squeeze out a 1-1 draw away to OB. We again put up >2 xG and 6 half chances but can't secure a win. FM is a fickle beast, so I'm hoping our fortunes change at some point. We've been using this tactic with slight variations for decades and made it to the Champions League semi finals (with a worse strikers corps no less), so I'm sure it'll come around eventually. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazRTaylor Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) End of Season Review Season 2027/28 Sporting Club d'Escaldes Season Summary It was a repat of last season as we comfortably finished clear of the relegation spot.

League Fixtures 1 & 2 - We were very inconsistent once again and found wins hard to come by. Copa Constitució PROTECTVALL - A decent run as we made it to the quarter final before losing away to Carroi on penalties. Friendlies - It was another tough pre season.

Dr Pepper Man Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 BASFORD PROMOTED TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP It took until the final minute of the entire season but we did it. After almost being relegated in the previous season we were able to go on a 11 game unbeaten run to secure the playoffs and beat Swansea 2-1 thanks to Captain Dalton Willimont-Beazeley's 119th minute winner. A new owner came in and appears to be a tycoon although cant be sure but has invested heavly in facilities. We moved into our new stadium but lost our first game there. Our best player was Mohamed Mohamed (yes thats his name) with a rating of 7.41 and our top scorer was Kaide Toney with 34. We Also won the Papa Johns Trophy. 1 more away from the Premier League 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BustaRaymes Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Bóltfelagið Royn Betri deildin menn - 2037 Back on track in the league, finishing second and 12 points clear of third. We drew Vikingur and we actually beat them one game out of a two-legged cup tie, but that's the best we can do. Europe A good campaign in which we drew favourably but not easy. Beating Trencin is a step in the right direction and not getting destroyed by Randers is another. Group stage has to be close. Squad Toftum started developing this season and seems to be a good goalkeeper for the forseeable future Birni Wiberg was our best defender this season. His bad injury last season stunted his development somewhat but he's still a decent player for us. Justinussen surprised me a bit as he made strides in his development this season, even earning himself a callup. Andrias Hansen is such a good player, I'm annoyed that clubs from other leagues aren't coming in for our players. He is absolutely the one that should have a career overseas. Gutti Wiberg has one more year on his contract and refuses to sign a new deal. I'm not looking forward to his departure. Youth intake Sorensen looks like a really good winger, although we weren't really lacking in his position. Guttesen is someone we will need soon as our centre back options are stretching thin. Transfers Real money! Nielsen is a good player but was driven out by all the competition for places in midfield. Other news: Although we didn't even make the group stage last season, Gutti Wiberg got all the awards. POTS, YPOTS en Golden Boot. At 18. A slight annoyance is that other nations don't notice our players at all. Stuff like this should at least attract the attention of some Norwegian or Danish clubs, but nothing happens on that front. I've seen Vikingur having a guy up front that scored 30+ goals for 10 seasons straight, leaving on a free transfer because he wanted to move somewhere bigger but no one came in. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

libbyshuss Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Aachen - Germany bundesliga - 2052/53 Season Summary League - Aachen's 2052/53 Bundesliga season started with promise, as they led the league after eight games. However, a disastrous spell followed, causing them to plummet as low as 8th in the standings. Thankfully, they managed to recover and put together a strong finish. Their unbeaten run in the last six matches secured a fourth-place finish, allowing them to qualify for the prestigious Champions League. Champions League - Aachen's Champions League campaign in the 2052/53 season fell short of expectations. After a promising semi-final appearance the previous year, hopes were high to go even further. However, they struggled in the league phase and narrowly qualified for the knockout rounds. Their draw against Bayern proved to be challenging, as Bayern comprehensively outplayed Aachen over two legs, ultimately eliminating them from the competition. It was a disappointing outcome for Aachen in their pursuit of European glory. Players Pascal Meier 43A - Pascal Meier had an exceptional season, showcasing his superstar status. He secured his sixth consecutive Ballon d'Or, a remarkable achievement. His scoring prowess was unparalleled, netting an impressive 58 goals in just 43 starts. Meier's performance on the field solidified his reputation as a truly exceptional striker. Youth The youth intake for the season exceeded expectations. The preview promised an excellent group of young talents, and it certainly delivered. With the addition of three elite prospects, including two from the South Korean feeder club, this intake is shaping up to be the best in years. The future looks incredibly promising and brings a sense of excitement to the club. Wonderkids Career As we look ahead to the next season, we find ourselves at a transitional phase. Our original batch of wonderkids, who brought us so much success, are now entering their 30s. In order to ensure a smooth transition, we are placing a strong emphasis on bringing through our highly promising young talents. This might lead to a period of adjustment and development for the team over the next couple of seasons. However, we are optimistic about the potential of our rising stars and the long-term success they can bring to the club. It's an exciting time as we embark on this new chapter and build for the future. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAwtunes Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) Persitara Jakarta Utara (Indonesia) - Season 1 Review (2022) Manger/team intro, game setup and screenshots tbc... Domestic League: Liga 2 Third Place Place - Promoted to Liga 1! In their first season, Persitara Jakarta Utara showed their strength in the domestic league, securing third spot in Liga 2 and earning promotion to Liga 1. Persitara finishing at the summit of Phase 1 Group B with an impressive 54 points, Persitara then went on to win their Phase 2 group with two wins and a draw. Although they lost in the promotion semi-final against Persik (2-3 on aggregate), they redeemed themselves by winning the third-place playoff. A commendable performance led to their well-deserved promotion alongside Persik and Bekasi City. Spoiler Domestic Cup: Piala Indonesia - Quarter Final Exit Persitara showcased their prowess in the Piala Indonesia, progressing all the way to the quarter-finals. Unfortunately, their city rivals and eventual cup winners, Persija Jakarta, proved to be a formidable opponent, defeating them 2-1 on aggregate. Despite the elimination, Persitara displayed their potential by reaching this stage of the competition. Spoiler Continental Competitions: AFC Champions League and AFC Cup - Absent The club did not participate in any continental competitions this season. Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC emerged victorious in the AFC Champions League, defeating Paxtakor Toshkent of Uzbekistan in the final with a 1-0 scoreline. Around the World: Asian League Champions In the major leagues across Asia, several clubs claimed the national titles. Kashima Antlers and Ulsan Hyundai were crowned champions in the Japanese J1 League and South Korean K League 1, respectively. In the east, Al-Hilal from Saudi Arabia and Esteghlal from Iran secured top honours in the Saudi Pro League and Iranian Pro League. International Football: Brazil won the 2022 world cup, winning the competition for the sixth time. Brazil beat Holland on penalties after the game finished 1:1 after extra time. The only Asian team to qualify for the second round was Japan, who lost 2:1 to Scotland. The other Asian nations (Qatar, Iran, Syria, Australia, South Korea) managed just 3 points in their 15 group stage matches of the world cup. Finances: Balancing the Books Despite some financial challenges throughout the season, Persitara managed to achieve a positive balance of £114,000. Their success in the cup competition and outstanding league performance, resulting in promotion to Liga 1, helped stabilize their finances. The club made significant investments in junior coaching and recruitment, as well as improving their training and youth facilities. Fans Player of the Year: Yance Setiawan 22a [54] Yance Setiawan, the sensational 16-year-old midfielder from Jakarta, has been crowned the Fans Player of the Year at Deportes Valdivia. Despite his young age, Setiawan has showcased remarkable skills and determination on the field throughout the season. Known for his exceptional marking ability and ground duels, Setiawan's work rate and tackling attributes have impressed fans and critics alike. Playing in 30 games with 3 substitute appearances, he has consistently demonstrated his endurance and commitment to the team. Spoiler Top Three Performing Players: Yance Setiawan 22a [54] - 7.67 Yance Setiawan has undoubtedly been the standout player of the season. With 16 assists and 1 goal in all competitions, his impact on the team's attacking prowess has been immense. As a defensive midfielder, Setiawan's strengths lie in his marking and ground duels, making him an integral part of the squad. Despite his tender age, Setiawan's performance and contribution to the team have been outstanding. Muhammad Muhyidin [47] - 7.46 Muhammad Muhyidin, playing in the right-back position, has been a key figure in Deportes Valdivia's defensive line. Known for his speed and agility, Muhyidin has proven to be a reliable asset for the team. His defensive capabilities and swift movement on the field have contributed significantly to the team's overall performance. Spoiler Akbar Muabuay [50] - 7.34 Akbar Muabuay, a versatile midfielder/attacking midfielder, has showcased his skill and dribbling abilities throughout the season. With a strength in both skill and dribbling, Muabuay has been a creative force in the team's attacking plays. His contribution to goal-scoring opportunities has been invaluable, making him one of the top performers this season. Spoiler Top Scorer: Bilton Fernando [49] Bilton Fernando, the diminutive striker standing at 5'6", has defied expectations with his remarkable goal-scoring prowess. With 15 goals in all competitions, Fernando has proved that size is not a barrier to success. His decent finishing, heading, and acceleration have made him a lethal presence in front of the goal. Spoiler Top Assister: Yance Setiawan 22a [54] Apart from being named Fans Player of the Year, Yance Setiawan has also topped the charts in terms of assists. With an impressive 16 assists in all competitions, Setiawan's playmaking abilities have been unmatched. His exceptional marking and ground duels, combined with his endurance, have allowed him to orchestrate numerous goal-scoring opportunities for his teammates. Youth Intake: Deportes Valdivia's youth intake this season has been rated an outstanding 5 out of 5. The club's emphasis on nurturing young talents has resulted in a promising batch of players. Among the intake, six players have been categorized as Elite prospects, while four have been identified as Top prospects. This influx of young talent bodes well for the future of the club. Top Young Prospects: Ahmad Fauzi Febriansyah 22c [46] A 16-year-old attacking midfielder, Ahmad Fauzi Febriansyah has caught the attention of the coaching staff. Known for his exceptional teamwork and shooting abilities, Febriansyah possesses the potential to become a future star. With a projected potential ability of 4 to 5, his good first touch and team-oriented style of play make him an exciting prospect. Spoiler Nur Siswanto 22d [42] Nur Siswanto, a versatile striker playing in the right attacking midfield and center-forward positions, has shown promise as a young talent. With strengths in skill and shooting, Siswanto has demonstrated good finishing and determination. The coaching staff has identified his potential ability at 4 to 5, suggesting that he has the ability to develop into a valuable asset for the team.

VillaSmith Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 My first big-ish sale of the save, Nathan Watson left on deadline day for Championship Swansea. £200k guaranteed with the possibility to rise to £425k with very achievable add-ons, plus 40% of his next sale and a friendly next summer which should bring in a further £30k-£40k. A tad disappointing as he developed into a key player for me last season and his ability at RB really helped my narrow formation work and added some needed width, so hopefully Evans Ackah can make the step up even though I just planned to use him as a backup this season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Gato_In_Goal Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 On 25/06/2023 at 22:01, The_Gato_In_Goal said: Unfortunately, it seems the goalscoring woes of last season are still an issue. After 5 matches, we sit on 5 points and 9th in the league. We are top of the xG table however and are underpeforming our xG by 7 goals (in 5 games!), It's frustrating and seemingly unfixable. What can you do when all your players can't finish chances. Defensively, we aren't struggling. We are keeping less of the ball than we used to, but it doesn't explain the complete lack of goals. Started the season with a solid 0-0 draw away to Kobenhavn. I'll take this any day of the week, and am not too concerned about our lack of chances. Then the alarm bells start ringing at home to AGF when we escape 1-0 victors. This is a 3-0 or 4-0 win in years past and we were dominant with 67% of the ball and holding them to no shots on target. Then a 1-0 defeat away to Nordsjaelland. This is a tough game, but we are clearly the better side and can't convert our clear cut chance, and have a goal disallowed. Johansen 13e puts in a 6.1 rating up top. Then we sink even further with a 1-0 defeat again at home to Esbjerg. They did create a few chances with their limited amount of shots, so conceding the goal was deserved (although it was a longshot from a corner). But, we couldn't convert our 2 clear cut chances or the 2.63 xG into a single goal. Fisker 19a played this one up top and put in a 6.3. Same story in the next match as we squeeze out a 1-1 draw away to OB. We again put up >2 xG and 6 half chances but can't secure a win. FM is a fickle beast, so I'm hoping our fortunes change at some point. We've been using this tactic with slight variations for decades and made it to the Champions League semi finals (with a worse strikers corps no less), so I'm sure it'll come around eventually. Things had been going better as of late until we dropped this stinker of a 1-1 draw, conceding to a former player no less. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost looks buggy Maybe so, but on the flip side I don't see them ever being able to sell him for any high amount. He's worth that much but he's 27 now and has never hit double figures in either goals or assists in a season for Villa so can't see anyone wanting to pay so much money anytime soon. Still would would have been nice to get a decent option for selling the clause Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
_JHTB_ Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) Ilkeston Town - Season 21 – Premier League– 8th Transfers -- Squad -- League-- Key Player -- Hot Prospect A big aim for this season was to improve on what was a woeful away record, to do this I decided to start playing a 5-2-1-2 formation away from home rather the 4-2-3-1 we were employing at home. It immediately bore fruit, in fact, our last season we managed 6 points all season away from home and we equalled that in 2 games this season including an impressive victory to the title holders Liverpool. As well as improved away form we continued to perform well at home with most of the losses we were suffering coming against the teams who would ultimately go on to secure continental qualification. Our overall form was as such that we were flirting with continental qualification places for much of the season but we never quite bridged the gap to that 7th place and back to back losses to end the season made it look further away then perhaps it might have been. After reaching 8th place after game 16, we somehow did not move a single position for the rest of the season. Youth Intake Given we were having a good season and we’d improved our facilities recently I was disappointed with the intake to not get a single elite talent coming through. The main positive was that the players with the highest potential were more defensive players which certainly is an area we welcome prospects most. Phil Crosbie 21 – Actually has not terrible attributes for a defender although he is a little shorter than I would like. His personality isn’t the best but I think he can still potentially develop into a solid option for us. Ashley Burke 21 – Other than his much worse tackling, he’s not really too dissimilar to Crosbie, fairly decent attributes for his position that he can hopefully improve. Overview We’ve managed to improve our youth facilities alongside securing a decent number of overseas affiliates which will hopefully see our intake quality improve. Our stadium finished it’s final expansion and we’re in the process of looking to buy it, but ideally I think we would want a new, bigger stadium as we sell out every game. Next season I will settle for survival, I do not think we would be able to replicate this season in terms of final league position but I hope we can at least replicate it via comfortable survival. {Edit} A few continues later and I guess based on who won each of the European Competitions, we've actually qualified for the Conference League next season. Key Players Drew Clarke 14 – Clarke shone this season, easily his best for the club before his season was curtailed due to injury. 9 goals and 8 assists was a solid return for him though. Patsy Bennett 12 – Despite our overall better season, Bennett had a generally worse season 5 goals and 5 assists a little bit down on his last seasons contribution, but he was still one of the top performers in the team. Despite this, I can see him getting somewhat phased out the team in the next few seasons to accommodate high potential players coming through, regardless he will at the very least be a useful squad player. Gary Joyce 10 – Joyce had a pretty terrible start to the season, he didn’t have a goal to his name after 20 games but improved to finish the season with 8 to his name alongside his 5 assists. Hopefully next season he starts scoring earlier on and gets his best return in the Prem (currently 10 goals) Edited June 27, 2023 by _JHTB_ 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Pepper Man Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Basford survive but end poorly Having been a rough season all round we did somehow secure survival with 4 games remaining which is a good thing as we lost all 4 of our last 4 games. Forced to sell Joe Lloyd as we put a £10m release clause thinking noone would match it, but after all month rejecting offers Norwich finally hit the mark and we couldnt stop him leaving. Instantly went and put bigger release clauses in our more promising players. Dayle Taylor and Jerome Wright will be released this season. We are looking good for surivial next season despite a very poor Intake this season. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
