Deisler26 Posted November 7, 2023 Author Share Posted November 7, 2023 The Brief As ever, the board brief was to Finish Mid-Table this season, with us to make an effort in the DfB Pokal. Our budgets were £525k in the wages and £28.5m transfer budget. The Results Unbeaten start to the season is a fabulous way to start FM24, with 18 year old AMC Josef Zorn stunning the league with 3 goals and 4 assists in our first few games The Transfers IN D/DM/MC German Kulikov (Free transfer) D/DMC Abdoulaye Konaté (Free transfer) DM/MLC/AMC Sören Jarosch (Loan, SC Freiburg) Much like in 2032/33, we re-signed an academy graduate who had been released by the club that signed him from us (Kulikov), a player who had been poached from our academy and then was released (Konate) and an academy graduate on loan who wasn't playing at his club (Jarosch) OUT DM/M/AMC Jan Männel (£2.5m, FC Augsburg) D/WBL Zied Sassi (£3.5m, Konyaspor) AMR/ST Robin Dann (£5m, Borussia Mönchengladbach) All three players were squad players who I could stand to lose. In Mannel and Dann's case, they were backups anyway and in Sassi's case, I had a decent youth player to replace him as first choice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Transfers In D/WBR Dražen Šušak (£1.2m, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim) D/DMC Edison Murati (£700k, FC St.Pauli) We got the band back together as two old boys came home, both were half price, due to our 50% sell-on clauses! Out DRC Rodan Ginter (£2.5m, FC Ingolstadt 04) AMRL/ST Andreas Köpnick (£4.3m, FC St.Pauli) The Ginter deal was the trigger to bring Susak back to the club and the Kopnick deal was too good to turn down on deadline day 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deisler26 Posted November 8, 2023 Author Share Posted November 8, 2023 This is next season's lineup without moves. Let's look through to see when/where there are issues. GK - Set at GK, however we might not keep Gosslar next season and that leaves us really short in that position DR - Susak back baby! He's taken Ginter's mantle and the backups are the same DCR - Not entirely sure that Brodwolf will stay beyond the summer, so we need some backups to come through DCL - Same issue here, although Farhat is a decent prospect to succeed Flauder if he goes DL - Turgeman is #1. Hagsmeister is....a big #2.... DMCR - FINALLY! Some depth. We've gone back in time with our DM pairing, but there is depth behind him for once DMCL - Same here, we've got depth and talent in the position. Just hoping that they improved behind Murati ML - Probably one of our weakest positions as Binde wants out and Stofer is not first team material AMR - Fabian Coernen is the clear first choice with the other two interchangable behind him AMC - Our most talented position, with regards age/talent, with Zorn at 18 years old and Wenzel at 17, we're looking good here. ST - Karner is still #1, but I may look to supplant him with Schmidt next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FM24 has kicked off very, very well as we finished as CHAMPIONS in 1st place in 2.Bundesliga. We didn't lose a game until January and lost 3 of our 5 games to 90+ minute goals. What a wonderful season! Heinz Karner led the way with 18 goals,on his way to becoming Cottbus' all-time top goalscorer. We also had a fairytale run to the DfB Pokal Final, mainly facing fellow 2.Bundesliga sides up until the Semi-Final, where 3 goals in the last 10 mins saw us upset Borussia Dortmund, 4-1! Sadly, we couldn't finish the job, losing 0-2 to 1.FC Koln. Stats-wise, we finished 1st on Goals Scored and 1st on Goals Conceded, which showed the league that we were a force to be reckoned with!

Losing Tim Brodwolf early on meant that our defence took a while to get back to our usual level and Heinz Karner's injury up front left us ridiculously light. The only bright spot really is 16 year old Marius Tomas' emergence The Transfers In DM/MC Peter Odeh (£808k, Eintracht Frankfurt) Peter was a player who had been poached from our youth academy and we could always do with bolstering our team, especially for 5% cashback! Out DM/M/AMC Mojtaba Karimi (£1m, Middlesbrough FC) D/DM/MC Mamadou Konate (£10k, SC Dynamo Dresden) DM/MC Andrzej Gołuński (£750k, Hostein Kiel) Karimi was the talent that never quite worked out and a move now was best for both parties. Gołuński was talented, but was a victim of a logjam and Konate was never breaking into the first team. Edited November 10, 2023 by Deisler26 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's look through to see when/where there are issues. GK - Same as it ever was to be honest. Nothing changes unless Gosslar moves DR - Return of the Franke! He will rejoin us in the summer and it'll be glorious DCR - Łuszkiewicz's loan spell at Lech Poznan has really improved him, to the point that we could let Flauder go if we receieved a decent enough offer DCL - Farhat is our first choice libero. The Rest... ehhhhh DL - Turgeman is #1. Hagsmeister is....a big #2.... Lanfer is the emergency DMCR - The talent behind needs to develop. Problem is, who uses a SV??? DMCL - We've got depth and talent in the position. Krauss will probably go out on loan ML - Our weakest position. Stofer is not first team material and Derichs is just 16 AMR - Fabian Coernen is first choice, but will probably time-share with Tomas at the position AMC - Zorn at 19 years old and Wenzel at 18,, we're set for a while here until someone raids us. ST - Karner is still first choice, but I'm bringing back Henning Kopnick as competition as Schmidt isn't good enough for the Bundesliga Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deisler26 Posted November 10, 2023 Author Share Posted November 10, 2023 Well.. A quite misleading intake here. Positionally decent, talent-wise, not so much. Let's look at the top 3 prospects D/DM/MC Oliver Lovett - Work Rate: 11, Pace 13, Techinque 11 - DNA: Failed An inauspicious start as not only does Lovett fail the DNA test, but he refused the contract we offered. We'll go back later in the month, but it's not looking good so far M/AML/ST Harald Saidou - Work Rate: 10, Pace 12, Techinque 14 - DNA: Failed It doesn't get much better here. He'll be retained to the ML position, but his Work Rate needs to up dramatically for him to make it here. M/AMLC Gábor Harsányi - Work Rate: 9, Pace 16, Techinque 12 - DNA: Failed Oy.

Deisler26 Posted November 11, 2023 Author Share Posted November 11, 2023 The Brief For our sophomore season in 1.Bundesliga, the board brief was to Make The Relegation Playoffs this season, with us to make an effort in the DfB Pokal. Last season was a hard slog and we're looking at much of the same. Our budgets were £788k in the wages and £29.5m transfer budget. The Results Another poor start. No wins, a spanking by Leipzig and one point. The Transfers IN AMRL/ST Henning Köpnick (Free Transfer, 1.FC Kaiserslautern) D/WBR Achim Franke (£3m, 1. FC Köln) DC Spyros Sidiropoulous (loan, Hamburger SV) DM/MLC Sören Jarosch (£3.75m, SC Freiburg) DM/MC Alexander Mohr (loan, Brighton & Hove Albion) Well. Possibly our biggest season, regarding incoming transfers, but we needed improving after the poor finish and start to this season. We tried to improve our striking options by resigning Kopnick as a backup, but it's the main problem we have. A solid backup right back was next, as Drazen Susak was courted by many clubs this season at offers around £20m. Spyros was a poached academy player which could be useful for us, if we're raided in January. Jarosch became available for £7.75m and it was a no-brainer, especially as we'd get 50% of that back, especially as we had very little talent on the left side. Finally, Mohr was made available on deadline day. People were offering £15-17m for him, but the moment we came in for a loan, he moved within a day as he loves us. OUT ML/AMC/ST Rene Binde (£1.2m, N.E.C Nijmegen) We actually sold him last season, but it would have left us extremely light on the left, so I delayed the sale until the end of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deisler26 Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 This is next season's lineup without moves, including any transfers made in/out for the beginning of next season. Let's look through to see when/where there are issues. GK - Same as it ever was to be honest. Nothing changes unless Gosslar moves, which he will do in the summer. Urbig played the Cup Final due to injuries and makes it to third choice here DR - Same as last season, if Franke can keep fit DCR - Logjam! This is again, predicated on Flauder a) moving or b) moving to backup libero DCL - Farhat is our first choice libero. The Rest... ehhhhh. Lanfer is hanging in there. DL - Turgeman is #1. Hagsmeister is....a big #2.... Etim is a shot in the dark DMCR - Kulikov probably wont be signed past his contract ending and if I get a decent offer, he's gone. DMCL - Our strongest position, now Mohr has resigned. Problem is, neither he or Murati can play the SV role ML - Jarosch came back and we're back to how it used to be AMR - Fabian Coernen is first choice, barring injury and Karagoz shone at Fenerbache a season ago, so he gets the nod here. AMC - Tomas moves from the wing to the middle and immediately becomes first choice. Everyone shunts down. ST - Karner is still first choice, as Kopnick scored a few, but couldn't displace him. Schmidt returns to be sold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
