Jimbokav1971 Posted September 22, 2023 Author Share Posted September 22, 2023 (edited) Youth Day. Mar 2043. First let's look at the players we're not signing. (43p) Ramadani. (Temp) is a centre-half and his (Det) is in double figures. but he has REALLY low PA and (Temp) is just a pain in the Ass.Man. (43m) Xhelili. (Bal) is a DL and we have plenty of them. Low Det plus Low PA is not a good mix. (43i) Freinberger. (KOS)(AUT) is a DR and while we're short of them, this bloke isn't the answer. (43n) Bacaj. (L.Det) has finishing of 16, but with such low PA and (L.Det) to boot he's never going to reach the levels we need for him to make an impact on the 1st Team even if his PA rating is wrong. (43e) Demiri. (Unamb) actually looks decent, but we have plenty of decent GK's and (L.Det) + (Unamb) is a mix from hell. And the players we will actually offer contracts to.

Jimbokav1971 Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 Facilities. Jun 2043. With £190M+ in the bank it seemed ridiculous to not improve the Training Facilities again and after appealing and remonstrating and then appealing again, I finally got Balkan El Presidente ton change his mind at the very last opportunity. The £2M cost is neither here nor there. It's a pittance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbokav1971 Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 Squad Performances. Jun 2043. Squad by Appearances. (32g) Kadriu 6'1" made 31 appearances, but he still missed 3 games. I'm not positive, but I think his tally of 27 goals for the season is a new record. I regret not giving him pens & free-kicks earlier, (it was more lazyness than anything else), because he has now scored 115 goals in his last 270 games over 5 seasons, meaning that he has scored at a rate of a goal every 2.3 games over that period, (or 0.43 goals per game), and has averaged 23 goals a season. Had he been on pens & free-kicks since the start, and scored at the same rate, he would be on approx 250 career goals by now. Squad by Goals. I'm pretty sure that I have never had a player score 68 goals in a season before. I know I've score 50+ before, but never 68. (33e) Shumeli has scored 395 career goals for us in 449 appearances, but of course 158 of those appearances have been from the bench, so he's actually scored 395 goals in 281(158) appearances, (which seems ridiculous!) He's 26 years old and scoring at an average of 39.5 goals per season, so if I were to keep him at the club it'e interesting to imagine how many goals he might be capable of scoring. I keep thinking about doing the "Pele 1,000 goals challenge, (but of course it's not compatible with goal-scoring GK's), so I never seem to get around to doing it. Maybe in FM24..... What's better? Having a GK scoring 300+ career goals, or having a striker score 1,000 career goals? Squad by Assists. Considering that we sold some good strikers in the past 12 months, are attacking threat was decent as our young players stepped up well. 3 players hit 20+ assists, 3 more 15+ assists and another 3 with 10+ assists. (35a) Siano (ITA) * the obvious star in this area with 23 assists to go with his 32 goals. Squad by Avg Rating. Some good match ratings here, (especially (33e) Shumeli), but 3rd on the list is 20 year old (38a) Sinani *, (who plays on the left of a 3 up front), contributing 37 goal involvements in his 1st season as a regular starter.

Jimbokav1971 Posted September 24, 2023 Author Share Posted September 24, 2023 Squad Depth. Jun 2043. GK. I don't plan on playing anyone other than (32g) Kadriu 6'1" who is on a 2+2 deal. Ideally I will keep him to the end of the save, (assuming he signs a new contract). 1st Team. (32g) Kadriu 6'1" Played 61 games & scored 27 goals last season. Loan. (38b) Dibra 6'2" (Res) * Played 1st choice to Ballkani as they got to Europa Conference Group Stage & onto Playoffs. Loan. (40i) Shala 6'2" Loan. (36b) Shaholli 6'3" * U19's. (42d) Rexhepi 6'1" (Temp) U19's. (41p) Milić. (KOS)(MNE) 5'11" DL. I've picked a backup in this area because I think it's likely that we will sell (33d) Jonuz WBL * this season. He's only 25 and still has 2 years on his contract, but we have such depth of PA in this area that it seems sensible to move him on and give those on the production line a chance. (31i) Dedja *, (who was 2nd choice last season), has already moved to the middle East. 1st Team. (33d) Jonuz WBL * Is likely to be sold. 2nd Team. (41d) Hasani (Spirit) 5'7" * Will move up to 1st Team. Backup. (37b) Bogdani (L.Det) 5'10" * Will move up to 2nd Team. Loan. (40a) Bjørnerud (KOS)(NOR)WBL* Loan. (41a) Gudjufi (F.Det) * Loan.

(35c) Koch (GER) * is on a 2+2 deal, but he's too good for us and ideally I would sell him and play a younger bright prospect. The problem is that his CA is better than the PA of any other DR at the club. Despite that, I'm still considering selling him in order to give playing time to the likes of (41b) Kraja *. Actually, thinking about it now, that's ridiculous. I just can't do that. 4 seasons might take us a good way towards FM24 and even 3 years and then a lump of cash would make more sense. 1st Team. (35c) Koch (GER) * 2nd Team. (37a) Krasniqi 6'2" Loan. (41b) Kraja * U19's. (42f) Krasniqi. (KOS)(ALB) U19's. (41m) Fernex. (KOS)(SUI) DC. Our 2nd Team shipped a lot of goals last season, (particularly in the Champions League), and while we have a little depth, (2 decent players out on loan to Kosovan clubs playing in Europe), we do seem a little short of top-end quality. We will just have to keep our fingers crossed for future intakes. 1st Team DLC. (35b) Pashaj * DC 6'2" 1st Team DC. (31f) Shabani 6'0" 1st Team DRC. (38e) Jaakkola (KOS)(FIN) * 2nd Team DLC.

(34j) Memaj (F.Pro) * 2nd Team MRC. (34c) Hidri * Backup. (38i) Zefi (Perfect) Is in the last year of his contract after a good season out on loan at Drita.

Jimbokav1971 Posted September 24, 2023 Author Share Posted September 24, 2023 Aug 2043. SuperLeague. The goal we conceded in the Trepça '89 was ridiculous. Our GK (32g) Kadriu 6'1" had gone on walkabout somewhere. Champions League. I thought Charleroi might put up a challenge, but after 8-0 in the 1st leg it was all over so I have the 2nd Team their 1st run out of the season, and even struggling for match fitness they did enough to get a ddraw. Goal-scoring GK's. 3 goals, 2 assists but 1 pen missed too. Finances. We've got over £200M in the bank, and I'm thinking about buying 1 of our Youth Products from any SuperLeague club who has one, and paying them £10M to do so.

Jimbokav1971 Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share Posted September 25, 2023 Nov 2043. SuperLeague. I still don't think we're in great form in comparison to recent seasons. We seem to be doing well defensively, but we're not scoring as many goals as we should. 60 goals in 13 games is 4.6 goals per game.... so maybe we're consistently scoring a good number of goals rather than scoring loads 1 week followed by just 1 or 2 the following week. We've actually only scored fewer than 4 goals in a domestic game once this season, (when the 2nd Team beat Ballkani 2-0), so maybe things are fine and it's just my mind playing tricks on me. Champions League. The 2nd Team still plugging away. It's been a tough old season for them in Europe. I'm seriously thinking about "throwing" the 1st tie next season to get us into the Europa League, (and as we've already won the Europa League, maybe I could get us into the Europa Conference instead.... Kosovan Cup. 14-0 is an absolute battering. They are 3rd in First League Group A, (2nd Tier in Kosovo), and are a Semi-Pro club. Goal-scoring GK's. 2 goals and 1 assist this month. Finances.

So we sent him on his way with our blessing. Just catching up, but a Kosovan/Swiss player who has never played outside of Kosovo signing for a Brazilian top tier club is one of the most 'FM' transfers I have seen for a while.

Jimbokav1971 Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) Dec 2043. SuperLeagues. Once again, defensively we're looking good and have only conceded 2 goals in 18 games, and although it feels like we should be scoring more goals, we still scored at a rate of 4.4 goals per game this month, and our goals per game rate over the SuperLeague season so far is 4.5, so we're there or thereabouts, and when you consider that we missed 4 penalties this month, (all in the league), we should have been comfortably over the average for the season so far, (which is fine). Champions League. The 2nd Team are really competitive against big sides, but they just seem to keep falling slightly short. Kosovan Cup. Goal-scoring GK's. 3 goals scored this month, but 4 (FOUR) pens missed, (so it should have been 7 goals!!!). Finances.

Elsjorro Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Pretty much seems to be the problem every time around: U can give the other clubs a lot of money, but it won't really make a difference. I tried it differently: In 2044 we have a 2nd CL ticket for the first time (FC Drita is the standing out number 2 of the league) and im constantly putting 20 mill in for them, buying back old players i released earlier.

Gonna see if that's going to help Drita in getting to that group stage. I'm not convinced it will make much difference in terms of giving them spending power to buy players, because we all know the biggest barrier to buying quality players is reputation. The £10M itself will have some impact on Rep, (simply because they will be better off financially), but in terms of transferring that to incoming players..... I don't really see it. Had that been a likely outcome then we would have seen that from Ballkani all the way through this save, (but we haven't). This is how the Kosovan clubs got on in Europe this season, (prior to their £10M windfall). Ballkani. They would probably have been better off losing to Galatasaray in the Playoff, (what a pair of results that is by the way!) because they had a tough set of fixtures in the Europa League and the Charleroi loss sort of typifies where they are at the moment. Where as we smashed Charleroi 8-0 with our 1st Team this season, (and then drew 1-1 away with a slightly weakened 2nd Team), they lose 2-0 at home because their top end players aren't good enough, (and they don't use their squad sensibly enough). Drita. The problem with qualifying for the Europa Conference is that you don't get a 2nd chance. When you lose, you're just straight out. That being said, I think they should have done better against Aris Salonika of Greece. Prishtina. Both these games were as tight as they look, but for whatever reason, Kosovan sides always seem to lose these ight games. Summary of the whole save in Europe. Ballkani have qualified for Europe every single season in this save. They have done significantly the best of the other Kosovan clubs and have made the Europa Conference Group Stage x9, (losing in Playoffs x1 and getting to Knockout stages x1). More recently they have made the Europa League Group stage x1, (this season was the 1st time). Drita have only missed out on Europe 3 times in this save and have been ridiculously unlucky in Europe. In the 2026/27 season they won 6 different games and still didn't qualify for the Group stage. They have qualified for the Europa league Group Stage x1 Prishtina have played European football in 16 of the 22 seasons so far, (they missed the 1st 5 seasons), but have never got to the Group stage, but they have got close. If I had to hazard a guess, (I didn't check at the time), the reason they lost against CSKA Sofia here was because the SuperLeague season had started by then and they were trying to win all games. If that's my club we're playing a 2nd Team in the Superleague and our rested team are winning in Europe and qualifying for the Group stages. This is such a really basic strategy, but it's so powerful. Gjilani have only qualified for Europe 8 times in this save, (and never performed well). Llapi have only qualified for Europe 6 times in this save, (and never performed well). Dukagjini Klinë have only qualified for Europe 2 times in this save, (and never performed well). Feronikeli 74 have only qualified for Europe once in this save, (and never performed well). I don't think that anyone else has qualified for Europe, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbokav1971 Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 Youth Intake day. Mar 2044. I'd much prefer to have a few good players than 1 very good player, (especially when the 1 very good player might not actually be that good). First of all let's look at the players we won't be signing. I actually quite like the look of this bloke, but I'm just not signing someone with 3 (Det). If he's any good then someone will pick him up and develop him and we can buy him back later, (or at least that's the plan). Ideally I also wouldn't have signed anyone with a single digit (Det) attribute, but I couldn't bring myself to cull (44o) Gorgerat (KOS)(SUI), (44i) Spahiu (KOS)(ALB), (44f) Van Dooren (KOS)(BEL) or (44b) Felbinger (KOS)(GER). Now for the players we did sign. (44a) Lindström (KOS)(FIN) looks amazing, but we really don't need another DL. We're short at right back and this is actually a player I really like the look of, (although he does have some physical issues). Oh I really like this bloke.

(42a) Krasniqi 5'11" is our 2nd Team central centre-half and I have thrown him in early to try and boost his development. Although he's only made 8(1) league appearances this season, he's started 9 Champions League games this season so he's seen more playing time than suggested. He's not listed as a wonderkid. (41d) Hasani (Spirit) 5'7" * weas going to be 2nd Team WBL this season, but when Ballkani came in to loan him I had a change of heart anticipating that he would play more for them as 1st choice than he would for us as 2nd choice. The fact that he has made 21(8) appearances in all competitions with us having 14 games still left to play suggests that I made the correct decision. Despite the fact that he's 5'8" and has jumping of 8, Ballkani have been playing him as a centre-half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbokav1971 Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 Mar 2044. SuperLeague. 5 games, 5 wins, 5 clean sheets and 28 goals scored. Kosovan Cup. Another 6 goals scored and another clean sheet. Records. Goal-scoring GK's. 4 goals scored, 1 assist & 2 missed pens. Finances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbokav1971 Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 Apr 2044. SuperLeague. After 22 league games without conceding, we went and conceded a goal in 3 different games this month. Kosovan Cup. Ballkani are the 2nd best team in the Country, but when asked to play 4 games in 3 weeks, (3 times against us), they just can't live with us. 2 lots of 9's and a 6 show the gulf in class. Records. Goal-scoring GK's. 4 goals scored and 1 assist this month. Finances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbokav1971 Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 May 2044. SuperLeague. It's our 1st 100% season with 36 wins from 36 games. It's also the 1st time that we've conceded single figure goals in a league season. The only frustrating part of that is that 2 of the 7 goals were conceded this month, and 3 more last month, meaning that we conceded 5 goals in the last 2 months of the season and just 2 goals in the 7 months prior to that. Kosovan Cup. Maybe my glass is just half-full today, but when I look at these fixtures all I see is the 1 goal conceded rather than the 51 goals scored. Goal-scoring GK's. 27 goals is a brilliant return for a GK over 1 season, but I'm really frustrated actually because 27 goals in a season is my record and I don't think anyone else has scored more. (32g) Kadriu 6'1" scored his 27th goal in the Llapi hame so we had 2 games to score a 28th, but he didn't manage it. The real problem though is that although he scored 27 goals in a season, (which is amazing), his failed 9 (NINE) times from the spot. He was unhappy for every single 1 of these missed penalties, and sometimes all it takes is unhappiness over individual training. I really need to check before every single game. In fact, checking on the day of the game isn't enough, (because there won't be enough time to resolve the unhappiness), so I really need to check the day before each game.

Jimbokav1971 Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 Squad Summary. Jun 2044. Squad by Appearances. (32g) Kadriu 6'1" scored 27 goals this season, but missed 9 (NINE) penalties so might have scored 36 goals. Squad by Goals. (33e) Shumeli scored 43 goals in 37(17) appearances. That's a whopping 25 goals down on last season's tally of 68 goals. I don't think that's a reflection on him and instead I think his supporting wide strikers performed much better this season and scored more goals. Squad by Assists. (35c) Koch (GER) * created 33 assists this season, (which I think is a new record). He has 3 years left on his contract and isn't willing to discuss a new contract until after this Summer EURO's. Squad by Avg. Rating. (35a) Siano (ITA) * scored 39 goals and created 31 assists so a total of 70 goal involvements this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbokav1971 Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 This is silly. Jun 2044. Last season in the Jan transfer window I bought 9 of our Academy products from the other 9 clubs in the Kosovan SuperLeague, (just to give them £10M each). I have no intention of playing any of them and they are all available to be loaned and or sold. (36d) Lakti. (SELL) is one of these and I have offered him out for £1,000 plus 25% plus a friendly. The bids from Lokomotiv Moscow and Partizan Belgrade are just the sort of thing I was looking for. There were 2 other bids though. For £4.6M(£6M) and £2.9M(£6.25M). His valuation was falsely inflated because we bought him for £10M, but he's obviously not worth anything like that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
