[FM23] London Unite Reloaded...Just A Little Bit Harder - Becoming The 4th Club - Croydon FC [Failed]

[Cheez3y]

 

Looking at the money situation...a takeover just the clear the debt would be nice.

 

[Cheez3y]

October 2024

 

Out of the league cup, but we are in the next round of the FA Trophy.

In the league we are in the playoffs place with a nice 5 pt gap.

We are struggling. The 442 isnt really working.

 

We need play 15th and 16th next.

If we lose one point here...I think we got our first sacking of this save.

Well...sorry Mister Coleman.

Manager Overview

 

Welcome Mister Page.

 

[Cheez3y]

November 2024

 

Solid start for Page.

We are out of the FA Trophy, so we can now fully concentrate on the league.

 

 

Coming Up

[Cheez3y]

December 2024

 

Despite losing two games, we play much better.

Once the team gettin used to the 4231 again, we should get into the top 5 again.

 

 

Coming Up

[Cheez3y]

January 2025

 

Much much better.

And suddently we are 3rd and back in the mix.

 

 

Coming Up

[Cheez3y]

February 2025

 

Jeez...what a league.

7 teams are still in the promotion/playoff race.

 

Our main problem is the defense. Only +3 goal differents.

March 2025

 

This is madness.

If we would've won one of those draws, we would be already save.

We cant win vs midtable/lowtable sides, but we beat Beaconsfield.

[Cheez3y]

 

With one more games left to play, we are in the playoffs places.

 

We just need to beat the Police and we done it.

[Cheez3y]

 

We even made it to 3rd place.

[Cheez3y]

 

Playoffs time!

One leg semi final with home advantage against Wok & Emm.

[Cheez3y]

 

Spicy game.

Went down 0:2, but the team fighted back.

 

 

We beat Beaconsfield before, so we can do it again!

[Cheez3y]

 

We done it!

Promoted!

 

[Cheez3y]

End Of Season Review 2024/25

 

Back 2 back 2 back promotions.

Hopefully we can do this until the Vanarama.

 

 

My Personal Top 3:

Ayo Shobbeni, James Alabi and Sam Talley

 

Due to finances we looked at the loan option in winter.

And Sam Talley from Barnet was not only free, he scored some important goals.

[Cheez3y]

Croydon FC - Overview

 

Finances are looking rough.

I would love a small takeover to clear the debt.

 

[Cheez3y]

Manager Overview

 

I would say without Sam Page, we would've finished midtable this season.

He did wonders.

 

[Cheez3y]

 

Oh boy...now the fun part starts.

 

Our finances are sh*t and we got the lowest budget.

Also most new players wanting real contracts.

 

At the moment I can only give 4 players real contracts. 

[Cheez3y]

 

Huge squad.

I took every player who was an upgrade and was free.

Couple players on real contracts.

 

 

Excited and scared at the same time to start the season.

[Cheez3y]

August 2025

 

Really good start to the season.

I just noticed we are the same division as Hashtag Utd.

 

 

Coming Up

[Cheez3y]

September 2025

 

Couple of rough games, but a big win with Lewes.

I guess this season will be all about survival.

 

 

Coming Up

[Cheez3y]

October 2025

 

Very rough October.

If I would be in charge, I would never play 4231 the entire time.

Maybe its time for a manager change.

 

 

Coming Up

[Cheez3y]

November 2025

 

We are fighting for every point.

Out of the cups, full focus on the league now.

 

 

Coming Up

[Cheez3y]

December 2025

 

Some very good points vs Cheshunt.

We are now 7 pts clear out the relegation spots.

Solid midtabel would be amazing.

 

 

Coming Up

[Cheez3y]

January 2026

 

Very very rough January.

I think its time for a change.

 

This is also big meh, we lost some many points and games due to bad discipline.

Our its just the Gegenpress tactic.

 

 

Coming Up

[Cheez3y]

 

This is the only thing we can do.

Sorry Sam Page.

Thank you for the promotion, but we need to do something.

 

[Cheez3y]

Manager Search + Overview

 

Welcome back Wanye!

Under him we played our best football in my eyes.

Hopefully we can use his 433 and add some stability to our squad.

 

 

[Cheez3y]

February 2026

 

Five very important points.

 

 

Coming Up

 

Aveley and Carshalton will be losses, but 4 maybe 5 points from the last 3 games would be amazing.

[Cheez3y]

March 2026

 

Huge points vs Ashford and Enfield.

Couple of points and we are safe.

 

 

Coming Up

[Cheez3y]

Croydon FC - Youth Intake 2026

 

Well...nothing worth mentioning.

 

 

Added BIH and SWE to the list.

If he atleast clear the debt, Im happy.

 

[Cheez3y]

April 2026

 

Survival!

In the end 4 pts clear.

 

[Cheez3y]

End Of Season Review 2025/26

 

We survived our first season in the 7th tier.

Hopefully I can find the right players to maybe aim for top half next season.

 

 

 

My Personal Top 3:

Honestly nobody, the team is kinda shocking for this level.

 

[Cheez3y]

Croydon FC - Overview

 

Our promotion run ends as expected.

The leagues are gettin harder.

 

[Cheez3y]

Manager Overview

 

Wayne got "only" a 33% winrate, but he also got us 5 draws, which saved us.

 

Spoiler

 

[Cheez3y]

 

Hurry up, I need to plan a new squad.

[Cheez3y]

 

I said hurry up...

[Cheez3y]

 

Finally....after almost 2 months.

Now I can start to look for transfers...

 

 

[Cheez3y]

 

Help....

This is the squad without loanies...

 

[Cheez3y]

 

At this moment I dont where we are.

 

[Cheez3y]

August 2026

 

Decent start to the season.

Nice 6:1 smashing of Whitehawk.

 

 

Coming Up

[Cheez3y]

September 2026

 

Im very surprised, we are currently 7th.

Maybe the squad is as bad as I thought.

 

 

Coming Up

[Cheez3y]

October 2026

 

Two games are gotten postponed.

I would say, we can aim for a midtable finish this season.

 

 

Coming Up

[Cheez3y]

 

We lost our manager.

Honestly he wouldnt survive the year anyways.

[Cheez3y]

Manager Overview & Search

 

Welcome Gavin Rose!

I managed Dulwich Hamlet a lot, so why the hell not.

Hopefully he can add some variety to our squad.

 

 

Edited September 6, 2023 by Cheez3y

November 2026

 

Very rough November...

Hopefully we can pick up some form and stay out of the relegation battle.

 

 

Coming Up

[Cheez3y]

December 2026

 

One months under Rose and we got a nice boost to our safety.

 

 

Coming Up

[Cheez3y]

 

Im thinking of releasing Alabi.

Yes, he scored a lot of goals for us.

But I think he is the wrong striker type.

We cant finish counters, because we got no pace.
