That red in cash, yikes 

@Johnny Ace you like a good old YAC 

Yeah, the bug/problem from OP is still happening, if you look I'm only at 8K out of 20K for wage budget and still losing that much. Hoping i can get promoted and that might sort it out, my plan for pre-season is just find the games to get the most money :-)

Season 2023/23 - Niva Dolbizno

Season one done and dusted which is always one of the hardest seasons to get through 

I thought 30 to 33 points would've been enough to keep us up but it would've been 20 in the end 

As already mentioned, we had a rough run, we had some decent runs and we drew a lot, I don't care, we stayed up without any major catastrophes 

 The preview wasn't great but I just needed numbers filling out the squads

 

The actual intake was a wee bit different 

A good handful of these were promoted to the first team. Straight away I can tell I'll be having trouble spelling most of these guy's names, Zabelin will probably be a first teamer which will be great as he'll count as a U-21 player in the starting XI 

The financial situation is not good, so no facility upgrades were made, I did snag a coaching badge though 

Spoiler

 

And even though we're absolutely broke, the board wants a new stadium  Why? We have a 2,300 seater stadium and average around 70 fans a game. I suppose being closer to home will help?

Season 6 | 2028

League table | Finances | Facilities | Transfers |Youth intake| Tactic |  Affiliated Clubs| Club overview | Manager Profile

 

And that is our 4th league title in a row! It was a much tougher season, as we won the title on the final day. KuPS and SJK both had a very good season, so it was a more exciting season then the last seasons. We also won the Cup for the first time in history, so we won the double!

But even more important: we qualified for the Champions League league phase for the first time!! We had a fantastic campaign, we won against FC Balkani(Kosovo), FK Sutjeska Nikšić(Montenegro), Ludogorets 1945 Razgrad (Bulgaria) and Bohemians Praha 1905 (Czech Republic). And with the win against Bohemians, we qualified for the League Phase of the CL!! Hello money, but also hello topclubs. We are directly facing the strongest teams: FC Barcelona, Liverpool, PSG, Ajax, PSV and Kobenhavn. So if we can get just one point, I'll be happy  

Best players this season were topscorer Juha Eerola 24c, who scored 41 goals in total; shadow striker Lauri Lindberg 25c, who now holds a new CL Average Rating Record as well, striker Fred Diakité 23k, striker Arttu Leivonen, defenders Tommi Tulppo 24d and Janne Kouhia 26i, and goalkeeper Tuomas Saarinen 23b, who scored 5 goals from Free Kicks this season.

The Finnish Football is slowly rising. Hopefully within a couple of seasons we'll get some more CL places, and I don't have to start in the very first round anymore.

And with the big CL money, our board was finally ready to build a new stadium! And beside that, also our Training Facilities will get another upgrade. So we are now almost at the point where we maxed out our facilities. Hopefully we are also able to upgrade our Youth Facilities again.

Youth intake

  Reveal hidden contents

The preview looks quite good to be honest. Three A's, some fullbacks (as we need some more depth there).. Let's see what the actual intake brought us.

Well, that's a bit dissapointing. I had higher hopes for this intake. Only Tero Niskanen 28B looks like a very decent talent, I'll put him in my squad right away. But the others are..mwah. I most dissapointed by their Personalities, and their Determination. I'll give our current HoYD some more chances in the next seasons, but if we keep getting intakes like this I'll search for another HoYD.

 

Well, it has been a long time, but I decided to continue this save. In the last couple of weeks I enjoyed a Scandinavian Journeyman save, where I could only buy Scandinavian players. But I missed the Youth Only challenge, and to build just one club to glory. So I went back to this save, as I really like managing in Scandinavia, and I really want to complete the challenge with this club. I decided to give all the (newgen) players a new face, so everything feels new and fresh. I've almost finished season 2029, so the season review will follow soon.

Salamanca UD Season 4 Review

Competitions

A nice mid table finish for us with us finishing 13th in the league with us being 9 points clear of relegation which didn't look likely for most of the season when we were in the relegation zone for 80% of the season but we pushed on and hit form at the right time.

Best Player

Ivan(YP14)

Our best player was no long Gabri Salazar who really regressed this season so I had to release Salazar after 4 good seasons with us. He will go down as a legend at the club but he needed to leave for the long term benefit of the club.

Squad Overview

I have got 8 players from the youth academy now playing regular first team football which is great to see.

Transfers

We are starting to make some decent money from player sales with us making £300k from player sales. We also have a future outgoing transfer for £250k for our best Goalkeeper who wanted to play for a better team and a potential transfer out for our best right back who is going for £350k.

A nice £2 million loan with monthly repayments of £36K, the club's monthly income is no where near that amount without considering the running costs of the club. The accountant in me thinks this is a terrible idea

AMC Ryszard Skórecki - POL/GER

Table
League - predicted 18th, finished 7th with 56pts (+21)
First round - Great round, we were 7th with 29 pts. Easier calendar at beggining helped to build good morale. Did much more rotation in the first eleven to avoid injuries.
Second round - We kept good form and made 27 pts. Bit more injuries but we kept 7th place end we going to play Conference Legaue next year! First European Cup participation in the club history!
DFB Pokal - semifinal - lost away 1-4 vs Bayern. Unlucky in the semifinal draw, we could play Hannover (Bundesliga 2 team).

Transfers -  Transfer history screen is useless. I have sold 8 players for cash. Nobody is listed on this screen because i move them into my second team and sold them from there (WK II team has amateur status).
Departures - Sold last two players from second intake in 2025.

Stats
Presence of youth players in the main team (all 22/22 players) with stats.

Summary
Updgraded training facilites to state of art level.
We still have only 2 sport scientists (head and normal) and constant injuries problem. Board as usuall doesn't even want to talk about it.
Can't ask for youth facilities to upgrade - probably connected with II team amateur non-league status.

Squad | Transfers | Finances

Well, now, this was a bit of a surprise! So up to the top tier we go, I suppose! Firmly think we will drop back down next season, but I'll always take each and any promotion we are handed. Quite funny about getting promoted with a negative goal difference, but we got thumped occasionally. Seems like the first goal decides a lot in my matches, as we usually win if we get it. In the preliminary stage we did well, and I was just happy to avoid a relegation fight. Horsens were by far the best team in the league, and just ran away with it from the start, and the closest fight was actually with our local rivals Næstved. Halfway into the promotion stage we had a bit of a gap down to the rest of the teams, but we had a horrible end ot the season where we really struggled to keep up with the teams around, I think it was fatigue that killed us as a semi-pro team. But on the final day we managed a 2-2 draw at home to Næstved to secure the 2nd place and promotion to the pinnacle of Danish football! The scary part is that I still use quite a few of the original squad, so I'm quite confident we are way short of the skill needed to play in the top tier, but we have to deal as well as we can and just see where it takes us. At least one major thing happened when the promotion was secured; we are going professional!

This season's intake was very good, with some excellent prospects for us.

And the board accepted more of my suggestions for improvements this season.

DBU Pokalen: We beat Marienlyst, Næstved, Hillerød, Hvidovre, and Esbjerg before we got royally thumped by FC København in the semi final.

If in doubt, the answer is usually no 

Normally if a transfer comes in beyond your control, just bin them of into the youth team and don't play them  

[Ronaldo Beckham]

I cashed in my first decent buy out clause. Escribano is rated at £10-£13m. I don't trust the AI of FM for him to get a big club transfer. 

I will keep an eye on him just in case.

Salamanca UDS Season 5 Youth Intake

Another season, another good intake with 7 x Elite Talents & 4 x Top Talents.

For the first time in my career with Salamanca I had an all Spanish youth intake. We also only had 5 Ivans this time so that is progress.

[Johnny Ace]

Season 2024 - Niva Dolbizno

We managed to turn last year's draws into wins, we kept a consistent system and starting XI which really helped. We were kicking around 4th to 7th all season then won the last 5 games to take second spot, I was pretty stunned to be honest 

Zabelin did come in to the lineup and kept hold of the right wing position all season, he was key as he's under 21 and performed getting himself 3 goals and 8 assists 

Bayko got himself plenty of game time time at DM and young striker Savistskiy took all of the chances he was given, scoring 7 in all comps from 2 starts and 12 subs appearances

 

Preview was nothing special and we won't be getting any facility upgrades for a while thanks to the board crippling the club

 

I actually struggled to give all of these contracts, because we couldn't afford to, with promotion though I got an extra bit of wage budget so signed them all up 

A keeper with some potential is a God send but he's a couple of years away from the first team yet. Rudchek and Furs got promoted to the first team. We have a Reserve team now too

Salamanca UDS Season 5 Review

 

Competitions

What a great season for the club with us getting promotion to the big league as Champions of the Segunda.

Best Player

Carlos Edu(YP6)

Coming through our first youth intake Carlos Edu who spent a few seasons on loan has finally come good this season with him not only cementing his place as a first team regular but also becoming the main man at the club with 23 goals for the season. He has easily took the spot Salazar had for us and hopefully he will be at the club scoring loads of goals for a long time.

Squad Overview

[HanziZoloman]

"Mediocre it is then, be the best you can off and on the pitch. Something like this but I'm still going this way." Earl of Grey

Season 12 - 34/35

 

Spoiler

We had the best start in the league since the Earl is running Ricay and it had a lot to do with simplifying the tactic. We are relying hard on our legend Rhys Platt who again scored above 20 goals. We had some cup games as well like forth qual. round (FACup) and fourth round (Trophy). We beat and managed some draws against the better teams of the league. Youth intake was sadly again, loads of missing attributes. It was overheard that the Earl described them as creatures and they are in kind of way. All nice people but they lack in central attributes for their roles like DM or CD without any braveness or strikers without speed and dribbling. We need to develop our facilities, we didn't get any upgrades in all those years. The Earl will continue to be picky with contracts in the future. 11th place is respectable it means an overperformance of about 13 places which is incredible. 

Plus: After two years our U18s managed another league title now counting 8 titles in the 12 years of the Earl.

Squad performance

Spoiler

Of course Rhys Platt is our best man. He is THE player here and will continue with his work in the next two years. Positive were the 5 set piece goals of John Flannery a defender, 9 assists of wide player Gouma who managed to built a fairly professional personality through mentoring. Domingos is developing into a strong player in central midfield but I hope to see more assists next year. Debut season of Emma Moses went well with 4 goals and 5 assists to his name.

Edon Janata underlined his strong aggressiveness with 3 plain red cards while captain Sedgwick even managed to add 7 yellows to his 3 red cards which is impressive. Our passing 2 wide defender Yoan Damman could contribute with 5 assists and 12 yellow cards without a adding a red one. He definitely knows when to stop harassing opponents. 

A lot of our young academy prospects failed to impress and will take new challenge. The Earl was happy to see former academy player Glenn Beasley starting for Hampton & Richmond in the FA Cup.

"Fight forwards not backwards guys!" The Earl is positively looking ahead and will spend the holidays in Cornwall.

Season review

Our best season yet! We stuck with out 4-3-3, with Meier in the middle of the front 3, and it paid dividends. The league was tight, only 3 goals in it, but still it's nice to win it again. The biggest surprise was the DFB as I always suck in domestic cup competitions in this challenge, mainly due to my using youth players all the time. But this season it all came good and we won it, to win the double!

  

 

and as an added bonus.... the U19s did it too!!!!

Champions League was less successful though. we did ok in the league section to make it through to the knockout round. We got our revenge against Ajax but the next round paired us with the favourites, Spurs. They are ridiculously good in this save for some reason, i can only assume Daniel Levy finally left, and were the current holders. they were too good for us, beating us over two legs.

Players/Youth

Meier is 33 now and his powers are finally starting to wane. For the first time in his career he scored fewer goals than games played, with a mere 38 goals in 46 games. Brings him to 933 total club goals now!

The young players coming through are looking the best bunch yet, with three in the top 50 wonderkid list.

Grorupec looks like a future balon d'or winner to me, but we'll see I guess.

The youth intake was another good one as well, it's all very exciting! even 40 seasons in!

Todorovski looks crazy good! Only 15 and that CA? he's almost first team ready already!

 

So, let's keep going! Until at least Meier gets 1000 club goals and then until I get bored. But I do like bringing youth players through and i really like my youth prospects at the minute

The intake preview was bleak and it's not going to improve, upgrades are impossible thanks to the massive loan the board have taken out for the new stadium 

 

I rejected a few of them with low Determination and bad personalities, the rest can fill out the U-21s and reserve team 

I'll give this another season, the starting XI is the same as the one that took us up and any guppies I threw in during the season where terrible. Zabelin really kicked on though  Our keeper still couldn't catch a cold

I'll give it another season, see how it goes but feeling really meh about Belarus at the moment

This years intake was pretty rubbish. No elite talents, very low potential, I think only one player can be useful as a backup right winger.

[Ron_Swanson]

[FM22] SK Zestaponi - season 6 - 2027

We didn't defend the title but 2nd place is still great. Young core of the team is developing nicely, but we need more reliable backups.

A really nice performance in European competitions. Two rounds in Champions League qualifiers - Red Bull Salzburg is just way to high level for us. Then pretty good draw in Europa League as Maribor and Linfield were teams we definetely could handle and we did. Group stage is more than I expected, two draws I'll take with a smile. That gave us a lot of money I immediately wanted to invest, so all four upgrades incoming.

Bit of a drop off this season after last years impressive 4th place finish with 59 points, ended up 9th with 46 points. Have a rapidly aging squad, and my first 2 youth intakes have offered nothing startling in terms of first team prospects, think I'm going to run into trouble in a year or 2 when some of the 32/33 year olds that play ever week for me start to decline/retire! Amazing season out of nowhere from Abdoulaye Diallo, who finished the season top scorer of the league! 

 

Finances are the usual tip despite being within wage budgets, not much I can do about this! No hope of getting training facilities done with the finances, and we're part time, so hoping for a bit of good fortune with some stars in the intakes to bail us out!

On paper I guess I should be pleased, with 4 so-called elites, but they're not in any danger of threatening the first team any time soon. And for the 2nd year in a row, a real abundance of slow players!

Season 12 was our most successful yet.  The highlight was managing to get out of our AFC Champions League group for the first time.  We promptly went out in the next round, but it still felt like a big step forward.  This was the season I also found out that (in FM22 at least) the AFC Champions League knockout stages are played over 1 leg, which feels weird and a little unfair.  I'm not sure how the home team is chosen.  This is what ChaptGPT had to say...

Season 12 (2033) Review: Persitara's Dominance and Youthful Promise

Domestic and Continental Performances

In a season filled with triumphs and progress, Persitara Jakarta Utara has once again solidified its position as a football powerhouse in Indonesia. The club's unwavering commitment to excellence saw them soar to new heights both domestically and on the continental stage.

In the highly competitive BRI Liga 1, Persitara's indomitable spirit shone brightly as they clinched the league title, finishing at the summit with a commanding 87 points. This remarkable achievement was highlighted by a staggering 14-point lead over their closest rival, Arema FC. The Persitara faithful revelled in the team's prowess, witnessing their beloved squad secure a well-deserved championship. Notably, the league's 17th rank across Asia further attests to Persitara's prowess on the pitch.

Adding to their domestic glory, Persitara emerged victorious in the Piala Indonesia, showcasing their dominance by triumphing over Badak Lampung with a convincing 6-2 aggregate score line in the final.

While the continental journey was met with a challenge in the AFC Champions League, Persitara's presence in the tournament's second round underscored their growing stature on the Asian football scene.

Players

The heart and soul of Persitara's triumphant campaign was none other than Agung Saleh [58]. With a Sofascore rating of 8.69, Saleh proved himself as the catalyst for the team's success. His football acumen, sublime passing, and mesmerizing dribbling consistently unlocked opposition defenses, leaving fans and rivals in awe. Having featured in 37 (2) games, Saleh's impact was profound, netting an impressive 24 goals and providing 19 assists. His magnetic presence on the field earned him the coveted title of Fans' Player of the Year, a recognition well-deserved.

Supporting Saleh were the top three performers who exemplified the spirit of Persitara. Ketut Hidayat [57], a stalwart in defence, showcased his unwavering commitment and team-oriented approach, earning a Sofascore rating of 7.91. Meanwhile, Bayu Huda [50], a dynamic midfielder blessed with remarkable speed, exhibited his proficiency on the pitch, earning a Sofascore rating of 7.74. Together, these players formed the backbone of Persitara's success, embodying the club's ethos and determination.

Youth Intake

The future appears exceptionally bright for Persitara, as the club's investment in youth development yielded remarkable results in the latest intake. A Sofascore rating of 5 out of 5 was a testament to the quality of talent that emerged from the academy.

Rendy Riawan [47], a prodigious young winger with lightning speed, showcased immense promise on the field. Dhanu Sanjaya [52], a versatile midfielder known for his teamwork and composure, embodied the club's values as he began his journey to greatness.

Finances

While Persitara's triumphs on the field are undoubtedly impressive, the club's financial landscape presents a unique challenge. With a balance of £14325, the club faces the pressing need to manage its resources effectively. The escalating investment in youth development calls for a careful assessment of recruitment and coaching expenditures. Strategic decisions in this regard will be crucial to ensuring the club's long-term sustainability while pursuing facility upgrades to enhance Persitara's infrastructure.

Around the World

Across the Asian football landscape, champions emerged to claim their crowns. In Japan, Nagoya Grampus secured their first league title, adding a fresh chapter to their storied history. Meanwhile, Ulsan Hyundai continued their dominance in the South Korean K League 1, celebrating their 12th championship triumph.

In Saudi Arabia, Al Batin's third successive title reaffirmed their status as a football force, a testament to the impact of their tycoon takeover in 2024. Over in Iran, Esteghlal claimed their 14th Pro League title, highlighting their sustained excellence in the domestic arena. Continental glory belonged to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC, who emerged triumphant in the AFC Champions League final, securing their sixth championship and etching their name as one of the most successful teams in the competition's history.

On the international stage, Indonesia's FIFA ranking experienced a slight dip from 95th to 96th, reflecting the ever-evolving landscape of global football. Holding the 17th spot in Asia, Indonesia's standing remains consistent, reflecting the country's ongoing efforts to make its mark on the international football scene.

League table |Competitions overview | Finances | Facilities | Transfers |Youth intake | Tactic | Affiliated Clubs| Club overview |Supporter Profile | Manager Profile

Back in Finland, back at JJK! And what a good feeling to be back. The progress this club already made is fantastic. I just finished my 7th season at this club, and I've almost maxed out all our facilities. Only our Youth Facilities needs to be upgraded one or two times to become State of the Art. The rest is top-level.
And for the 5th consecutive time we became champions of Finland. It wasn't easy, because we won the league on goal difference. Other teams in the league are also developing good, so the average level becomes higher and higher. But we also played a lot of European matches. So in some league matches I had to play with a lot of youngsters. But in the end it was just enough to gain the league title.
Beside that we also played the Cup Final, but lost 2-3 against KuPS.

Spoiler

To my own surprise I was allowed to play at the Fifa Club World Cup. Finland was the host of the Club World Cup of 2029, and as the champion of Finland I was allowed to take part.
We won 9-0 against Henderson Eels (Solomon Islands) in the Preliminary Round. We qualified for Group E, where we met Liverpool and Atlas (Mexico). We lost 1-4 against Liverpool, but we won 2-3 against Atlas, so we won a Club World Cup match! We didn't qualify for the next round, but it was really great to participate.
 

Spoiler

In the Champions League (season 2028-2029) we played in the League Phase against FC Kobenhavn, PSV, FC Barcelona, Chelsea, IFK Goteborg, Ajax, PSG and Liverpool. We lost all our matches, beside the match against Ajax. We played 1-1 against them, so our very first point in the League Phase of the CL.
 

Spoiler

In the Champions League season 2029-2030(the current season) we won in the Second Q. Round against FC Arges(Romania), but we lost against Celtic in the 3rd Q. Round. In the Europa League Playoff we met FC Arges again. And we also won again, so we qualified for the League Phase of the Europa League.
The start of this competition was very promising, with 3-3 against Celta da Vigo, 3-2 win against SCR Altach(Austria) and 2-2 against Galatasaray. So we still haven't lost a match in the Europa League this season!

Spoiler

Best player this season was Arttu Leivonen, our last real player. He scored 24 goals in 35 matches, together with 8 assists. But also Markku Hyryläinen 25e, Juha Eerola 24c, Erik Autio 24g, Johan Koponen 24h and Kévin Gbényo 26a were great this season.

Youth intake
The preview wasn't very promising, but the intake itself was a good one. Two Elite talents and some Top Talents. Some of them look very promising. We also have our first Czech player, probably from our affiliate Viktoria Zizkov.

Squad | Transfers | Finances

We survived! I mean, we got thumped on a regular basis, but we still picked up enough points to stay ahead of Horsens and Vejle. Still, conceding 80 goals in 32 is quite a lot, but as long as we stay up, I'm happy. The 10-0 loss to FC København was the worse one, but we also lost 8-0 to FC Midtjylland, and 4 instances of 5-0 losses. It destroys the morale, but I managed to keep it barely going. After the winter break, where we crushed some local pub teams, we went in with high spirits and got some good points on the board. More and more of the original squad is being left behind now, and the newgens are starting to take over, finally!

This season's intake was amazing! I Guess the improvements are starting to pay back the investments.

And the board accepted many more of my suggestions for improvements this season.

DBU Pokalen: We beat Helsingør, Politiet, and FC Fredericia before we lost to FC Midtjylland in the quarter final.

Salamanca UDS Season 6 Review

Competitions

We just kept ourselves in the league after the massive step up. I was amazed we were able to stay in the league as the other teams especially the top 6 teams in Spain are just too good compared to us.

Best Player

Carlos Edu

Not as profilic as last season but still good considering it was a step up to the big league in Spain. 10 goals is a decent return for the season. He is only 20 so he still have time to improve a lot.

Honoury mention to our young English goalie Vangelis Panagopoulos(S4YP1) who got our best average rating for the season and probably was the reason we stayed in the Spanish La Liga. 

Squad Overview

Basically the whole squad now consists of players come through the youth system which is nice to see. 

A lot of them that were part of Season 4's youth intake.

Hopefully some of the players that are in this seasons youth intake will start playing regularly for us soon as they look like a good bunch of lads.

Transfers

Ivan(S3YP2) being the big transfer out this season with us getting a nice £2m. I didn't want to sell him as I could see his potential but he wanted to leave to play for a bigger team and he went to FC Porto who put him in their B team and he has done well for them this season with 9 goals from 12 games.

He is currently valued at £21m-£32m and we get a decent 30% profit from his next transfer if he leaves. This all depends on him leaving though. I hope he does as it will be a nice bit of money into the clubs bank balance.

I will cash this out if I get chance to.

My aim next season is to hopefully get a mid table finish but it will be hard.

 

[Ronaldo Beckham]

Our long term finances should benefit from us getting a nice new stadium. It will take 3 years to build it but should be a good way for us to make more money and also help us get more fans watching us.

We also managed to convince the board to improve the training facilities.

We already have Excellent training facilities, Great youth facilities, Exceptional academy coaching & Exceptional youth recruitment so we don't need much more improvement which is good as well.

The future is bright for Salamanca.

I have never seen this happen before. Time to get rid before he gets worst.

It's nothing new, it is since few FM iterations. Player has low professionalism.
If he is very prospect, You can mentor him with more professional group.

Yeah that is true.

@XaW well done on surviving, especially in the face of such morale busting defeats, impressive you still kept them up.

Pedersen looks amazing he'll be in your first team soon I'm sure if he looks like that at 15!

 

@Ronaldo Beckhamyeh I've seen that a few times over the years. From memory be careful how you platy it, it usually happens again for that same player,i could never fix it, just kept fining him, and then sold him. Great progress from you man to be safe in la liga so soon with so many prospects in the team

Yeah I will see how he gets on from now on. I tried to sell him but he had only signed a new contract so it stopped clubs going for him.

Cheers for the kind words.
