The FM23 Youth Academy Challenge


Recommended Posts

I have found a few interesting teams to manage in Spain. Salamanca and Perelada who both have good facilities etc.

I didn't find many interesting teams in Holland.

I am just going to do a few reloads in Portugal to see if I can find a team there before deciding which team to try.

Does anyone know what date I need to save it to get different teams in Portugal please ?

2038/39 (Season 16)

It's been just over a month since my last update, going is very slow at the minute. There's just not enough hours in the day to play any significant amount of time!

Anyway, onto the update. We started the season without our NxGn star Maybin 36A.  He signed for Newcastle in a £5m deal with add ons. I need to do a better job of keeping these youngsters with bags of potential! Despite this, it was another superb domestic season. Whilst we didn't accumulate as many points as last seasons 106, we did go unbeaten AGAIN!

Cliftonville actually pushed us close and we only wrapped the league up with two games to spare. We had a big drop off with our goalscoring this season and we shared most of the goals around as well. Jack Johnston 34C, managed only 11 league goals! 22 goals shy of last seasons league total.

table.png.3551049d2d47c83f0bcb5d93527c6722.png

As well as making it three in a row in the league we had a clean sweep of all the domestic cups to make it a quadruple this season!

Europe;

We navigated the Champions League qualifying rounds pretty easily to my surprise. In the process, gaining some revenge on Maccabi Haifa who had beaten us last season in the CL qualification stage!

qualis.png.d245f4cfbc4c298c56cef5961cc36bdc.png

For our first ever appearance in the biggest competition in the world we weren't handed any favours! Some absolute huge teams to play here.

CLfixtures.png.20899953c0aeadb1c43778a6ba522c3c.png

We had an incredible start to the league stage, beating Belgian outfit Standard Liege who were making their first appearance at this level in the save. As expected we were outclassed by the big boys, though we almost had a memorable draw away to Barcelona! We picked up another win against fellow Pot 4 side, Astana to give us an outside chance of continuing some form of European football beyond the group stage.

We really weren't expecting the win against Read Bull Salzburg, it pretty much guaranteed some form of European football into the new year. The trouncing of Manchester United brought us back down the earth before a good defensive performance vs Italian greats Juve.

cleague.png.5183750251eec91f9f90ef69477319df.png

So we made it through the league stage in our first ever Champions League run. We were rewarded with a Knock Out Play Off round against Portuguese Champions, Porto!

I have no idea how we managed it but we went away to Porto and overturned a 1 goal deficit, quite possibly our biggest ever result! They did have a player sent off early in the second leg but we still had to play at our best to get anything from this tie!

Unfortunately that was as far as we got, we were drawn against Juventus in the round of 16. Having played them already this season and having kept the score line down to a single goal we did have the slightest of chances of progressing! But we crumbled under the pressure this time around and the tie was over after the first leg. What a ride this first season in the Champions League was though!

Slightly better preview than last seasons. Could really do with some more firepower up top. Any midfielder would do well to break into the first team at the minute.

preview.png.4c9b96576e543ab97bff4106a8384bc6.png

We seem to be pretty adept at producing good left backs. Having sold Naybin in the summer, McMillan 39A, will provide good cover and a rotation option with Tiarnan Dykes 34B.

Don't think Holland can be used in the challenge anymore, as they have stopped the relegation and promotion into the 2nd tier without a set end as far as I know...

Have decided to return to this challenge after a failed attempt last time out after doing a few sim holidays to see what Club would pop up Spotted this Team Carl Zeiss Jena.

Brønshøj BK - Review Season 23

Nothing like a month break between updates. Trying to refamiliarize myself with the save as well. We ended up recapturing the title for the first time since season 19, our second title overall. Peter Fisker 19a pretty much carried us all year with 29 goals in 43 appearances in all competitions, winning the Superliga's Spring Player of the Year en route. Some solid development of guys like Rune Eriksen 21g in our reserves and Matthew McCarron 21c on loan in Australia. Made it past Juventus in Europe before losing to eventual finalists Chelsea in the Round of 16.

Sb62zR.jpgdy2oYh.jpg

Another R16 exit, but we at least went directly into the league phase this season (and will do so again next year). An embarrassing 0-0 draw home to Salzburg nearly cost us a bye directly into the R16. A bit painful seeing Man City win it all again and having Anders Hjulmand 11a score in the final.

Not much to say. We stayed out of relegation battle. We lost a lot of games. We got punched in the face. We won again only to get on the next losing streak. There's a big positive: Rhys Platt is a club legend I never created one before, so we are exited to welcome him in the hall of fame of Billaricay. 

Our youth team finished 2nd place. We renewed too many contracts and I want to be more picky in the future. No upgrades as always. I'll try to build a positive balance in the next years.

Squad | Transfers | Finances

The first season in a new tier is always an exciting one, since it's not easy to know how one's team will fare against a higher level of opponents. And I'll make it clear, we the step up here is far greater than the last promotion! Most teams here are fully professional, while we are technically semi-pro, but a lot of players are still on amateur contracts since we can't afford to offer wages to that many players. To give an example of how big the difference is, our wage budget is one 10th of that of Horsens! Yes, the difference is that big. So when we found ourselves going into the relegation stage after the preliminary phase, I was far from surprised.We did have a sizable gap down to the relegation spots, and we had a much better time against the lower half of the table, so we secured a spot for next season too. And that's pretty much all I wanted from the squad. More youth players are now part of the team. Henrik Thomsen 26e is first choice goalkeeper, Tyler White 25a has become our best defender, and Morten Ellehave 24b is the DM of choice to mention the key ones.

This season's intake was really good, and we got in a lot of talented players. Also got one from the Cayman Islands, a place I don't think I've gotten a newgen from before!

I finally got some improvements approved though!

Season 11 was another successful one for us.  We won all of the domestic trophies (the league, cup and super cup) and were pretty good in the AFC Champions League, where me managed 10 points but finished in 3rd place and did not progress to the knockout stages  We lost both games against current CL champions, Ulsan Hyundai, 11-1 on aggregate!  Lets see what chatgpt has in store...

End of Season Review: Persitara Jakarta Utara - Season 11 (2032)

In a triumphant campaign that will be etched into the annals of Persitara's history, the football club from the north of Jakarta has emerged as the undoubted powerhouse of Indonesian football. The 2032 season witnessed an impressive combination of domestic dominance and spirited continental endeavours that demonstrated the club's ever-growing stature on the Asian stage.

Domestic and Continental Performances: Writing History in Style

Persitara's resurgence in the domestic arena was nothing short of remarkable. The BRI Liga 1 witnessed the club rise to the summit, crowned champions with an astounding 90 points. Their relentless form left their closest challengers, Bali United, trailing by an astonishing 21 points, showcasing an unparalleled level of superiority. With a Sofascore rating of 7.37, Dede Kahfi [59] emerged as the heart and soul of Persitara's midfield and was voted Fans player of the season, driving the team forward with his undeniable talent.

image.thumb.png.0700eeb5e866ac36280a8b603ffd13df.png

The pinnacle of domestic success was complemented by a triumphant run in the Piala Indonesia. In a gripping final, Persitara vanquished Persebaya Surabaya 4-2 on aggregate to lay claim to yet another coveted trophy.

On the continental front, Persitara's journey in the AFC Champions League group stage, securing a commendable third place with 10 points, showcased the team's potential to compete with the best.

image.png.bc5e2e04e6bbe373f2c2fff61a4c7752.png

Players: The Stars that Shone Bright

As the dust settles on a remarkable season, it's imperative to highlight the standout performers who etched their names into Persitara's folklore. Agung Saleh [58], a mesmerizing presence in the midfield, dazzled with a remarkable Sofascore rating of 7.94. His balletic passing and dribbling prowess were key to his 13 assists and 9 goals throughout the campaign, asserting his claim as a maestro of the game.

image.thumb.png.28ee7fb4d6168a211b84763a7cce7881.png

Hot on his heels was the prodigious Akbar Muabuay [51], whose Sofascore rating of 7.43 solidified his position as a rising star. His tenacity and unpredictability in the middle of the park made him a force to be reckoned with. Another standout was the mercurial Surya Affandi [52], whose lethal instinct in front of goal saw him finish as the club's top scorer, with 23 goals to his name.

image.thumb.png.db6d75fb2ff75c12692f1b3eff91f228.png

Youth Intake: Nurturing Future Stars

Persitara's youth academy continued to flourish, with a remarkable intake of young talents that received a sterling 5 out of 5 rating. Among the cream of the crop, Denny Toldo [58], Andri Aji [52], Damas Donny [51], Donni Sopian [51], and Kurniawan Wahyu [47] stand as the torchbearers of the club's promising future. These young prospects are destined to don the famous blue jersey and carry on the legacy of excellence.

Finances: Balancing Success and Sustainability

Despite the glories on the pitch, Persitara has maintained financial stability, ending the season with a balance of £92k.

Around the World: Asian Football Landscape

As Persitara basks in its domestic triumphs, the Asian football landscape has witnessed its own tales of glory. Ulsan Hyundai of South Korea clinched their sixth AFC Champions League title, clinching a victory against Al-Sadd Qatar in the final on penalties. Karim Siby, the talismanic forward of FC Tokyo, earned the coveted Champions League MVP award, with his remarkable performance of 18 goals and 3 assists.

The major leagues in Asia crowned their champions as Urawa Red Diamonds and Ulsan Hyundai reigned supreme in the J1 League and K League 1 respectively. Al Batin continued their meteoric rise with a second consecutive title in the Saudi Pro League, while Esteghlal added another trophy to their cabinet in the Iranian Pro League.

Thailand clinched the AFF Championship 2032, triumphing over Indonesia with a 2-1 aggregate score in the final. Indonesia's ranking in the FIFA men's rankings saw a slight drop to joint 95th place, while their standing as the 17th highest team in Asia remained unchanged.

A very succesful season. We had a good start, a rubbish middle and a great end of the season.

We managed to get into the play offs. We first had to play Athletico Bilbao B team in a 2 leg affair.

ac033a0d7786283e8b3271b938f244cc.png.b969b3c33ccc4a1958607db2eb5012ee.png

A lovely 3-2 aggregate win over the 2 legs over a team I didn't think I had a chance with as they were a better team on paper then we were but we played the underdog role well.

We next had to play Lleida in a 2 leg Final. I didn't know much about Lleida but they humbled us in the first leg with 2-0 win to them in the home leg.

We had a big hill to climb but we started the 2nd leg strong with us winning 2-0 at half time and then in the 87th minute our main striker Gabri Salazar scored for us to win the 2 legs 3-2 on aggregate and getting promoted in our first season in charge which I honestly wasn't expecting at all.

Been away for a month, started a new job, moved to Rotterdam and a lot had to be done with the place. So I'm a bit out of my Royn save, hope to pick it up later.

 

As I was more inclined to start a new save, meet the new manager of Cavese:

Last season was disapointment. I have decide to make big changes in the team.
We sold 3 remaining not academy players, send last one to reserve team as a mentor and promoted 8 new debutants.
We loaned out our best striker from last season Willi Böckmann to affiliate club in 3 Liga to help them survive there (with two other u19 players). He was in very poor form at the end of last season and i lost believe in him. The loan was supposed to help with that but it didn't work out. He will not renew his lucrative contract so one more year on loan and he will be gone.

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

Summary
No upgrades. We have only 2 sport scientists (head and normal) and that's causing the constatnt injuries problem. Board doesn't even want to talk about it.
Can't ask for youth facilities upgrade, there is no such option, bug or club feature?

I won't complete it this edition and not in Croatia for the first time. Since may and my second CL group stage phase participation in season 7 with Sesvete , i stopped playing FM. Since last week i started a career topic about Gibraltar and only singing GIB players (Youth academy challenge light version).

Good luck everybody and i'll be back (maybe for Belgium once they fix that!)

Another great intake with 7 x Elite Talents and 4 x Top Talents. 

For some reason all of them bar one is Spanish with also a Gambian player there.

I am getting fed up of getting players called Ivan in each youth intake. 4 Ivan's in this youth intake :D

Also just to let you know from now on as each youth intake comes in I have put S2 before I put YP for season 2 youth intake. This is to indicate what season they come into the club. So the next youth intake with start with S3 and then S4 etc.

Not much newsworthy happened this season with us just staying in the league by 5 points. 

I am happy with that with us making the step up but I am hoping for a better season next season.

Best Player

Gabri Salazar

Salazar was the main man again with 21 goals for the season.

We had a couple of our previous season's youth intake who played some regular football for the first team this season with Emmanuel Gombe-Fei(YP5), Marc Alfonso(YP7) & Francisco(YP9) playing more then 10 games for the first team this season.

That’s great!! I am

looking forward to your updates. If you give some insights how you shape up tactically I am all ears ;)

:thup: Starting out using a 4-4-2 with a DW :D Unbeaten for the first 4 games then didn't win in 7 :lol: Just switched to a 4-3-3 and picking up some points now

Do have a terrible squad, no senior keeper so I'm stuck with a newgen who can't keep the ball out of the net and no leftback, like as in none in the squad. Only really backup I have is in central midfield. If any other position gets injured or suspended I'm using 16 year silver star players or the grey dudes because I have to start every game with two U-21 Belarusian players . Infact, in that 7 game run, the game screwed me over and didn't give me enough grey players to meet the league rules so I had to holiday over it and lost 5-1 :lol:  Aiming for 30 points to stay up but a while to go yet

sounds all well-known to me, red cards and penalties not to speak of. hope you can turn around things until a safe season ending.

A decent youth intake this season. Not as good as the last 2 seasons for Elite Talents but we still got 4 x Elite Talents and 6 x Top Talents.

8 of them Spanish with a Cameroonian & Gambian player included.

I don't understand Salamanca's obcession with bringing through players called Ivan. Starting to annoy me a bit.

6 of the 10 graduates are called Ivan :idiot:

Oh god is it ?

I assumed so. Just laziness by the creators of FM. Is Ivan even a well known Spanish first name ?

Well according to google it is.

Despite its lengthy history, the name Ivan has managed to stay popular to this day. In fact, it's one of the top 100 most popular boy's names in the United States, according to the Social Security Administration. It's also popular in other parts of the world, including Russia, Serbia, Ukraine, and Spain.

A great season for Salamanca with a Play Off win to get us promoted to the Segunda league and one promotion away from playing against Barcelona, Real Madrid etc.

A 5th place finish got us into the Play Offs but it wasn't easy with us having to play Coruna. 

We managed to beat them 3-1 in the first leg of the Semi's and luckily we only 2-1 in the 2nd leg giving us a 4-3 aggregate win over the 2 legs.

We then got to play Alcorcon in the Play Off final with us 4-3 on aggregate and gaining promotion.

Gabri Salazar wins the award again for the 3rd season in a row he was our top scorer and best player overall.

He managed to get 24 goals for the season and he now has 75 goals for the club.

Youth products Ruben Ledesma(YP4) & Ivan Escribano(S2YP1) have become first team regulars with a few other young academy products getting some first team football which is nice to see.
