P.oPpolicchio Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) quick update, very early in the season since I played only 1 match and we incredibly WON ! 3-0 against norwich, previous season after 7 matches we still had 2 points, this time 3 points after 1 match xD Anyway I didn't change many players, team cohesion is infact very solid (this is the reason for the victory). I was literally unable to buy strong players (for many reason the players I tried to engage chose to go somewhere else or renovated the contract and so on... So, I kept buying young dudes with good personality (I prefer Motivated or Perfectionist or Good citizen) in order to train them. I really hope I will have the time to do that while keeping to avoid the relegation. I will post the team and the team comparison: Physical qualities: We are weak only on agility Mental: We are weak mostly on Position/Courage/Concentration Tecnique: We are weak mostly on Cross/Marking/Passing It is a shame to be weak on cross since we are absolutely strong on Elevation Edited November 19, 2023 by P.oPpolicchio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.oPpolicchio Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 Mid season update, finally the team is quite well performing, thanks to the hard training the average level of the players is so much higher than 2 seasons ago. The higher salary cap obviously helped, it is around 55 ML now, two seasons ago it was 20 ML... and don't forget we got the promotion from sky bet championship with a 5M salary cap... Still I can't believe we weren't immediately relegated the first season after the promotion. screenshot of the actual premier league ranking, after 19 matches: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.oPpolicchio Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 season 14 is over, we played a very relaxed season, all the time mid-position, sometimes we were playing for one cup slot but at the end we wasn't that close. We are still losing almost every single match agains the big teams (man unt, man city, chelsea etc.) if we want to become more competitive we need to make some points on those games too. Anyway we achieved 52 points. So first premier league season : 31 points second premier league season: 42 third season: 52 the progression is quite nice. I will post the ranking screenshot and the Team screenshot at the end of the season. END OF SEASON 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.oPpolicchio Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 (edited) SEASON 15 So, all I am doing during the summer is selling players which are becoming too old (Reiblein for example who hit 30 during the summer), then sell young players who aren't growing enough like Nevans or Vidal, and finally sell some players who don't have room to grow (like davies or doninger) And I will try to buy young players with good potential. I will try to buy some 17 years old for the under-21 too, just to see if they can grow and can be useful next year. I am not optimistic though, usually in under-21 players doesn't really grow much. Training facilities are at the top for the main team, while I am still working to improve the Youth-team facilities. Stadium is 16k slots, but I saw the president wnat to build a new one. The game right now, basically, is finding new talents and grow them. I don't think we can be competitive for the first 5 top position but with some luck we might be able to get one cup slot. I played one match, 2-2 against newcastle. Not a bad start of season. The team comparison is quite decent (3 season ago I remember we were the worst team EVERYWHERE), if I see the last-season team comparison, now we are MUCH stronger. Physique: we are bad only on physic integrity mental: we are bad on courage (it is mainly due to the very young age of my players) technique: we are weak on passing (our ball possession is quite bad) TEAM roster before season 15: Edited November 23, 2023 by P.oPpolicchio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.oPpolicchio Posted November 24, 2023 Author Share Posted November 24, 2023 some more informations: Our salary cap is now 68ML incoming from sponsorhsip are now 27 ML (top teams have from 100 to 170 ML) - man city for some reasons, 321 ML. I am playing 4-2-4 (double striker) since last season. it helped for sure to score more goals, still I am not happy about how many goal chance the opponents have. Anyway, quick update after 11 matches, we only have 14 points. Not really a great performance. It is highly possible another mid-ranking position.

P.oPpolicchio Posted November 26, 2023 Author Share Posted November 26, 2023 (edited) quick update: we've definitely made the "switch". We are now a strong Premier League team. Now we dominate the matches against medium-weak teams, and we can play and try to win even against the top teams. So it took to us 15 seasons to go from the bottom of the English Championship (vanarama north league) to being a solid Premier League team. We will be playing for a place in the Cup until the last match of the season. I also changed the tactics. I increased the amount of pressing. It was already "high" but not at its maximum, I was afraid of seeing my players too tired. But I was wrong, the team is very young and very strong in resistance, they manage to maintain the maximum level of pressing for the entire match without problems. I also tend to rotate my players to give them plenty of rest time. I also raised the defensive line to be more effective with the pressing. To be honest I could have made these changes a couple of seasons ago, maybe even earlier. Fun fact: Haaland, 38 years old, is still playing with Man City and still scoring to me every single time I play against him.

P.oPpolicchio Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) Season 15 is finally over, we achieved a fantastic 7th position, and we are in Europa League, HURRAH! we lost in FA semi-final too, not bad. Kreische 21 goal, 7.31 average vote, 8 man of the match. impressive here Screenshots of the team and of the ranking END OF SEASON 15 Edited November 27, 2023 by P.oPpolicchio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.oPpolicchio Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) SEASON 16 I need to clean some player, woodhouse, acker, Parisi, some dude didn't grow as much as I hoped. I am not even sure I want keep raising young dude, unless I really find great players. I will try to buy some player already strong in order to try to compete for the top 4 positions Edited November 27, 2023 by P.oPpolicchio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.oPpolicchio Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share Posted November 27, 2023 quick update after 2 matches of season 16, we have 4 points. Second match was a victory 5-1 against chelsea. Absolutely promising. During the summer I was able to change most of the players I wanted to change. It was a great session od players-trading. We are now SO MUCH stronger on both right and left offensive winger. here all the screenshots, team roster and team comparison. it is now hard to find weakness on the comparison. We are weak on Courage and Position, nothing more. 4 seasons ago, out first premiere-league season, the comparison was embarassing...I was so ashamed I didn't even take the screenshots.

P.oPpolicchio Posted November 30, 2023 Author Share Posted November 30, 2023 Sorry if I am little lazy these last days, anyway, Middle-season update we keep improving our way of playing, our results are better and better, still there is quite a lot of work to reach top 3 positions. Right now we are a top7. We have 4 or 5 players which are training really well, unfortunately not so many as I hoped to have at this point. My scouts cannot find 15 or 16 years old to buy. Do I have the worst scout on the planet or it is just harder to find young talents on fm 2023? Europe league is going really nice, we won every game quite easily.

P.oPpolicchio Posted December 1, 2023 Author Share Posted December 1, 2023 no update at the moment, I just want to add some more detail about the way I play, generally speaking: I see every match in the extended modality (3/5), the modality where you see every goal, every key action, and all the other important actions. It requires at least 5-6 minutes every match (I never calculated it though), it is possible to have a good idea about what happened, about the player positions according to your tactic, players qualities, common mistakes, etc. I don't spend more time than this on a single game. here the screenshots of the tactic I am using right now, and the tactic on offensive Corner kick : I only use the corner kick at the near post (I hope this is the correct translation).

P.oPpolicchio Posted December 4, 2023 Author Share Posted December 4, 2023 Season 16 is over. We keep making progress (I will post one screenshot about our Five season in premier league) , 5° position in premier league and we WON the UEFA cup, we even made the record of Most goal scored for UEFA cup all time. It was a difficult competition we had to play so many matches.. All the season we suffered multiple injuries, it was absolutely hard to manage the team through this season. I don't want to talk much, I will just post all the screenshots. I am very happy, still I believe we are very far from the top 3. Next year we are going to play in Champions League. It's great to be here with scunthorpe. END OF SEASON 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.oPpolicchio Posted December 4, 2023 Author Share Posted December 4, 2023 SEASON 17 I will try to change some player who can't grow anymore and I will try to buy some player to train. We will see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
