Popular Post libbyshuss Posted October 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2023 Japan - Honda FC/Machida Corriente 2027 (season 4) - Division J3 Objectives: push for a promotion challenge, introduce more youth players to the first team, don't get sacked Season Summary Objectives met, and in style! we started unbelievably well, 6 wins and 1 draw from our first 7 to go top. I then decided to make a potentially stupid decision. The only way I could get more of my youth players into the first team was by changing the formation, going from a 4231 to a 433. Luckily, it paid off as we stayed top all season. We'd have a dodgy result and jump straight back with a good one. It was a cracking season all round! Players And this was the reason why. My youth players are now so much better than my legacy players, it's actually silly. The only problem we had was halfway through the season when there was a lot interest in them and a couple got unsettled and demanded to leave. Another couple got upset with the lack of squad depth in goal and defence which, as you can see, is a fair point. It did look like it might drag the morale right down at one point but we managed to ride it out with some hastily made promises, which i will surely later regret. Youth Being top all season made it a lot easier for the board to give in to my demands for improvements. So we managed to max out junior coaching and youth intake! So I was excited for this intake - we are desperate for keepers and defenders! so what did the intake throw up? The preview was encouraging..... So it's safe to say the intake star rating is bugged! this intake is as 5 star as you're gonna get, with more elite talents than i could fit on one scree and with two already first team ready! Only downside is the shortage of keepers and CBs.... So how good are Sagara and Yamazaki? Career So, J2! With a very, very young side. Probably around 9/11 will be youth players next season, so staying up will be number 1 priority 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are ok. The rule you talk about is if the board buys players over your head. Then you stick them in the youth team and try to sell or release them asap.

Mahzun_Savas Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) I hate the ReinMeer board, they will not do anything I ask them, no coaching course, no junior coaching, no youth recruitment. It is going to be pretty hard to do a youth only challenge if they will not give me some upgrades so I can get a youth intake. Anyone else having this problem? What can I do to change their mind? EDIT: I decided to ask for something different and see if they would agree and they surprised me by agreeing to find an affiliate. EDIT 2: At last they did it, they improved junior coaching so I guess I get an intake now. Edited October 28, 2023 by Mahzun_Savas 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently sat 16th, 7 points clear of relegation and the board expecting a mid-table finish.

Popular Post DazRTaylor Posted October 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) End of Season Review Season 2028/29 Bury Season Summary Survival in the league and two good cup runs represents a decent first season at this level. Season Details League Table - I should be happy with a seventeeth place finish and I am, though I always want more. League Fixtures 1, 2 & 3 - We had good patches though we largely struggled. Our end of season form was absolutely dreadful. F. A. Cup - We made it through to the second round before League Two outfit Bromley beat us on our own patch. F. A Trophy - Norport County proved to be too strong on their own patch in the quarter final as our dreams of lifting a domestic cup ended for another year. Friendlies - On the whole, we were not very good. Squad - We are improving, though we need a lot of work on our defence. Squad Dynamics - This is poor, largely due to our recent, desparate form. Transfers In - None. Transfers Out - We let one player leave for free as he was not good enough and four youngsters left on loan. Youth Candidates - It was another cracking intake, with goalkeeper Bello Yekini YP29A34 rated as the player with the most potential. Finances - We made a small loss though we nearly broke even, with the costs of the youth academy being the main reason. We do still have a very healthy bank balance though. Key Players Abimbola Obasoto - The winger had another productive season. Marcelencio Klaiber YP28D20 - The Dutch midfielder developed really well this year. Andrew Morris YP28J28 - Comfortable in central midfield or up front, he has cemented his place in the squad. Jack Atkinson - Exceptional for most of the season, it is no surprise our form deserted us when he played poorly. Jack Rogers - Our striker is annoyingly inconsistent. Next Season I just want to finish higher than we did this season.

Popular Post Braumiller Posted October 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2023 Season 01 - 2024/25 FC Biel-Bienne (I have no template or plan for seasonal updates yet....) A challenging first year as expected, but not always for the expected reasons. On the pitch we held our own for the most part. Spent most of the season between 4th and 6th (out of 10 teams in our division), with a couple of bad dips in form, including a 5 game losing streak around the winter break. Our main issues were off the pitch. Early on the influential core of the group decided I was out of my depth and I lost the dressing room. We SLOWLY improved there and they eventually dropped it, but 2 of the main players had by that point decided to see out their contracts (still had 18 months to go, so I have them for one more year). In the second half of the season pretty much everyone who was half decent told me they wanted to leave for a bigger and/or more ambitious club. Fine. Tried to talk the first one out of it, and that went badly. So I told the rest I would sell if a bid of a certain amount comes in. We haggled, I set it as high as I could get away with and now we wait. If a bid comes in, then I'll bank the cash. The main 4 are set at 325k, 105k, 100k and 100k. So not pocket change for sure (our gate receipts for the year was 334k as a comparison). Final League Table Squad Stats Youth Intake Not too bad! I gave a handful some sub appearances in the final half a dozen games of the season, especially as I fear I might need them sooner rather than later with potential exits. Marco Isler (YP01-Elite) - Promising looking striker. Not a position I am in urgent need of, but never hurts to have a backup here Kuzey Yigit (YP01-Elite) - Like the look of this full back, apart from his height. Again, not an urgent need as I have a decent amount of options here, but would love for him to force his way into the starting XI Orlando Kwasie (YP01-Elite) - Again, another striker, but lets see if he can develop! Transfers this year Next season will be interesting. Outlook depends entirely on whether I have big sales in the summer or not. I'll take another 7th place finish though if we could manage it and hopefully get some promising development from the first youth intake! (Loving the bingo card idea! Have started to develop one for my Swiss save, but way off of being done yet.......) 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Perre8 Posted October 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) SEASON 1 - 2025/26 FC Wacker Innsbruck After holidaying for 2 seasons (the idea came to me when a saw @DazRTaylor with Bury, thx again for the tip) in Austria, this club came trough... A fallen giant... FC Wacker Innsbruck is an Austrian football club based in Innsbruck, the capital of the state of Tyrol. It is the second most successful club from Austria after Rapid Wien and Austria Wien. The club won the national championship ten times and won the cup seven times. The club's colours are green and black. Wacker Innsbruck found itself in dire financial straits and in 2022 it was not awarded a professional license. They did not appeal against the decision of the licensing committee and voluntarily went to the Landesliga, which is also known as the Tiroler Liga. They have everything to make it in this challenge, good finances, very good facilities and a big stadium with an astonishing view! They even have an affiliation with LAFC. We start in the second division in Austria. Only the champion goes up. In the end we will have to try and compete with Red Bull Salzburg, who were champions 16 times out of the last 19 times.

Popular Post michiganhugefan Posted October 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2023 Berwick Rangers Season 1 Summary Transfers || Finances After I left you at the halfway point of the season, in 4th place, actually in the playoffs, feeling good. Things kind of imploded. We were far enough off the bottom that we missed the relegation playoff, but in the 2nd half we had a stretch where we lost 9 of 10 games in the league and I will admit I was looking over my shoulder for the board meeting to put my job in jeopardy. It never materialized and we survived. Competitions Spoiler Scottish League 2 Firmly in 8th place. Which is completely satisfactory for this first season, although the start would have made us at least dream of finishing higher up the table. Viaplay Cup That 4-1 win over Clyde was our biggest win of the season. SPFL Trust Trophy No Comment. Scottish Cup Just happy to have made the 4th round and not have lost to the 2 clubs in lower tiers. Honors Spoiler None, but I guess I'll put our best 11 here as well. (Well Andrew Lind was YPOTM in August in League 2, that's as good as it gets for us) You see Thomas Kay? Our backup goaltender with a 6.49 Average rating. Stealing a place on our best 11 sub bench. What an utterly God awful season. Not sure if the 44 SV% vs. 83 xSV% or the -16.13 xGP is worse but putting him on the subs bench in our best eleven feels very incorrect. Luckily this graphic is a sneak peek of the fact that next year he's not going to be our backup, unless everyone gets injured again. Also the overall graphic is a preview of a tagged player making 3 appearances and making the subs bench. Youth Intake 2025 Spoiler I showed off the preview in my last update but this youth intake was an absolute banger. 12 Elite Talents and 4 Top Talents Still more bad personalities than I'd like but the amount that can go straight into the 1st team is very exciting. The Jewel of the intake, he has immediately gone into the 1st team, supplanting Alex Harris as our starting CAM. Our new Backup GK, already got some game action, because surprise surprise, our starter got injured catching a ball, again. Immediately our backup RB, and probably could push himself into being the starter if things go his way very soon. Probably our backup Right Mid now. Although our starter is one of the better players on the team so who knows how much playing time he'll get going forward for the time being. The Left Side is another place we don't necessarily need reinforcement. But I really like his look. Another right sided midfielder who looks good but probably won't see the field relatively soon. Due to some injuries in the central midfield, went straight into the first team and bagged a goal in his first game. Needed depth at CB with only 3 on the team and he's a nice addition and has already made an appearance. More CB depth, although hopefully he grows a little bit or he might be better on the outside. Will be moved Left Back to provide more cover back there. I am planning to release one of our Left Backs in the offseason so just having more cover in that position is good. Probably not going to be playing first team at the moment. Our best striker of the intake. Will be thrown into what is to be honest a terrible rotation so if he can bag some goals he'd become 1st choice. One for the future maybe, not fully proficient in a position I use currently, so will be moved to ML Another Right Mid. Another piece of CM depth. Outisde back on both sides could be useful for depth Another Left Mid. Tagged Prospects Spoiler Literally doesn't score AND skipped training one day. He'll be sitting in the u18s unless everyone else on the team is dead. His versatility means that I think he might still get meaningful playing time as a piece off the bench that can play 4 positions I use. Definitely will be used less in year 2. Turned out to be great off corners for me, but with better options at the club will probably be in the U18s next season Had to play due to injuries, firmly our 4th choice GK now, but who knows, he might play with the way GKs break fingers Barely player, already below standard and at positions that we already have way better players at. Gave a little cover off the bench given his many positions but not up to standard of being in the first team anymore. In the U18s and will probably never see the pitch for us in the first team again. I was bored so I put together a Nationalities and Languages table for my regens. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph96 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Am 21.10.2023 um 20:27 schrieb Virtual Male: Season 1 2024/25 Manager Profile - Competitions - Finances Competitions Vanarama National League North - With a squad of 14 players and newly promoted my hopes weren't too high, fortunately we managed to avoid many injuries and my backup keeper only had to play outfield twice so it went pretty well really. A solid 13th place finish and in the play-off race for most of the season leaves me very positive for nest year when I can actually make subs, only missed the leagues goalscoring record by 3 goals but we conceded far too many, hopefully I can sort my defence out for next season. English FA Trophy - Knocked out in the 3rd round, didn't prioritise either of the cup competitions at all. English FA Cup - 3rd qualifying round, again didn't really pay much attention to the cups' Squad - Plenty of options for rotation as you can see . I think most of the defensive struggles were down to me messing with the tactics all season and we just stopped scoring in the last half dozen games or so but the players were on the beach by then and they deserved it to be fair, far too many minutes for some players. Oliver Mehew - 43 G/A in 46 league games as my CAM, he dug the team out of trouble in more than a couple of games this season. I'm not expecting the same output next year and he shouldn't have to be playing every minute of every game so he'll still have legs come the end of the year. Youth Intake - I forgot to grab a screenshot of the preview, it was 'excellent' but there wasn't any way to not be improving the first XI really. Lots of potential, a few half decent personalities and some players that could do a job in the first team and be at the right level all ready. Mathew Hughes (2025YP6) - Looks to be the star of the intake, has the ability to be in the team already. I don't know if they'll be much growth given we're part time and his personality is woeful but fingers crossed. Transfers & Finances - The outs were all arranged from before I came in at the start of the season. The money isn't looking great, lost about £100k over the season but should be able to put the club back in the black with an extensive pre-season. No worries so far. Other Managed to convince the board to send me for my first Coaching Badge, they wouldn't even consider anything else which given the club being in debt is fair enough I suppose.

Popular Post the_hdk Posted October 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2023 Transfer History Promotion!. Up to J1-League!. Let's go!. Promotion is great. Let's hope we can get some money as I had to sell alot of players. All expensive bench sitters had to go. And KANDA was sold only foor 400k, while I got an offer of 1,2mln for him half year before. But he went as we need the money. And I'm afrain the vultures are going to pick on our players in next off season. Many youth players got into 1st 11. We had many games playing with full on youth intake team. Daiki TANAKA had a breakout year at 17. Became a 4,5 star ability player! Scored 27 and assisted for 11 in 38 games this year. Worth 2.8mln already but lets hope we can keep him a bit longer. Many players (oldies) just decline to extend so we will be losing about 5 rotation players. We need to bring in more youth. I'm a bit afraid of J1. but let's see. According to my AM we have 5 players playing at J1 level already so we should be ok to survive. Arsenal with surprise CL win. ARTETA surpasses WENGER. Promotion! Sale of Kanda We could have gotten more but we are in deep red! YASUDA 2028 Intake The intake of 2028. Later ony 4 players stayed in elite in the second message. No foreign intake this year sadly. NAKAMOTO comes in and is already our best GK. At 1,5 star that is not great I know. But he will have to play. With 191cm dude is a monster in Japan. NAKAMURA will also play alot next year. We need midfielders badly. Love the Samurai hair. Love the teamwork and natural fitness. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koetzer Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Well, no miracles here. The attack was solid (4th in goals scored and Svarups eventually won the top goalscorer title), but defense simply didn't exist (there was a game which we lost 4-8 ).

WhiteCat33 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 @the_hdk congrats on the promotion! I didn't realize the finances were strained in Japan. With such a large stadium I take it its from high costs rather than a lack of revenue streams? is it because of the maxed youth costs, or just in general money is tight? I'm always curious when they add a new league how balanced it feels. At least it seems not to be a Belgium situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romania's "Liga II" is structured in such a way that each team is played once at the beginning. Then the league is divided into 3 separate groups. There is the promotion group and two relegation groups. The two worst teams of each relegation group are relegated directly and the 3. worst teams of each group play against each other to stay in the league. In the promotion group, the two best teams are promoted directly and 3rd & 4th place go into the playoffs against teams from "League I". Keeping the class for "Liga II" was our clear goal, but what finally happened was probably a surprise for everyone... Liga II: Spoiler After losing the first game, we suddenly started playing like young gods. We had a run of 13 games without defeat, 11 of which were wins. We were not always the better/dominant team, but the confidence we had, helped us beat almost everyone. The confidence and an absolute amazing GK helped us to secure the first place and a spot at the Promotion Group which meant that we could not get relegated anymore. Nice! However we now have to face the 5 best teams in the League and to be honest, our morale and confidence were pretty much the biggest reason why we would win so many games... And this could be seen clearly in the end: Spoiler After winning the first game, we went on a loosing streak and I was confident, that not getting promoted was the best that could happen to us. We had no chance against the best clubs of Liga II so how could we survive in Liga I? Then we faced Chiajna and beat them. I made the mistake of organizing a team talk and telling them that they don't need to feel any pressure because the season has been very good so far and so on. Somehow I unleashed something in this team. Something I didn't think was possible. In the next games, we played so incredibly well that we had seriously achieved the impossible... Spoiler One game before the end of the season, we secured promotion. WTF?! On the one hand, I'm extremely happy that we managed to do that, but on the other hand, I'm not looking forward to next season at all. It will certainly be a lot of fun to be pushed around and being bullied by the big teams in Romania.... Anyways.. Cupa Romaniei I let my B Team play in the cup, where we got quite far and managed to secure a spot in the Group Stage after beating Arad, a first League Team. There wo got beaten by our rivals Polithenica with 2:0 and therefore we had no chance of surviving the group. Still a very solid performance there! Spoiler Youth Intake and Improvements The preview of the YI wasn't really promising.. Spoiler Spoiler Although I have to disagree with my HOYD a bit on that. 1-2 players could already play a more or less important role in the upcoming season. Valentin Circov, Catalin Radoi and Andrei Grosu might get some game time next season. Spoiler Even though I signed a new HOYD, his influence on this YI was probably very low so the rest of this Intake doesnt look promissing at all (especially because of their personalities) but I sign them anyways. Who knows, they might surprise us in the future. Spoiler Even though we had an incredible run, the board only agreed to one improvement in facilities, which is to increase the Junior Coaching Budget. This leaves us with the following facilities: Spoiler Player Awards I decided to give away following Awards for our best performers: Offense MVP: This one goes to Buia. I play in a 4-4-2 and he is our left striker. With 11 goals and 12 assists he is our top scorer this season and even more important was his consistency. Midfield MVP: Eddie Cornea. Our left winger is extremely dangerous in front of the goal this season and thus deserves his award. Defense MVP: This goes to our Inverse Wing Back Coroiu. He somehow managed to get 5 goals and 4 assists this season. This saved us a few points which ultimately led to our promotion. Well deserved. MVP: The overall MVP Award surprisingly does not go to one of the guys mentioned above. This seasons MVP is our goalkeeper Mirel Bolboasa! With an average rating of over 7.00 and an insane 2.98 expected Goals prevented, he consistently saved us a lot of points and highly deserves his reward. Rookie of the season and Most Improved Player: RotS goes to Fabi Zavaleche. I got him from our U19 and he had an immediate impact on the way we play football and always gave everything he had in every training session. The 18 year old central midfielder started 23 games and scored 6 goals together with 3 assists. Solid first season. MIP player however goes to his CM - Partner Petrus. The 20 year old Playmaker improved his teamwork, passing, vision and decisions a lot and therefore earns himself the MIP Award. He started 21 games this season. Spoiler Finances Our finances look terrible even though we only spend half of our wage budget. We are almost 200.000 € in debts right now. Hopefully we can generate more money in the first league next season. Expectations for next season Many of our key players are now quite old and are starting to weaken. Our youth does not currently have the necessary quality to replace these players. That's why I expect nothing but relegation from the first Romanian league next season. But we will fight until the end and who knows, maybe we can accomplish another small miracle again. Edited October 29, 2023 by KingKCrush 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a copy of the selection info from the tactics screen which has the little faces and then customised it in the squad view to get the columns I wanted. I feel like being able to see the players faces makes them a bit more 'real' and easier to get an attachment to them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basschaapje.2 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Youth intake update In ukrain there is a 3 month holiday between december and march which speeds up the process towards getting the youth intake, came at a much needed time because of some injuries. Full intake Big one with four 'elite' talents, all fully Ukrainian. I think I got pretty bad personalities so might look for a new HOYD. Best players: Stanislav Dobryanskyi 25A - striker Decent finishing for my level but he can't head to save his life. Will get gametime as my second string striker. Yevhen Popov 25B - attacking midfielder Is well balanced but the unambitious is too bad. Might train him as a cm since I use like 3 of them. Added some decent talents for depth, nothing too crazy but had to let some leave because of the money. (youth contract is € 450 a month which and i'm already in the red). P.S. how do i hide the photo's to get a better looking report? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post fries Posted October 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2023 Vanarama National League 2026/27 (season 3) Season Summary Before the season I was close to giving up. My morale was gone. The board had decided to build a new stadium which put the club into financial problems. We had to revert to a semi-pro status and we have no new upgrades in sight. But then the season started! In the youth intake of 2026, we got three exciting attacking talents. Therefore, I left behind the defensive 5-4-1 formation and employed a very offensive 4-4-2/4-2-4. The new tactic worked wonders. We started to score a lot of goals immediately. However, we also conceded a lot of goals. But in the end, massively 132 league goals were enough to secure a playoff spot. In the play-off semi-final, we were up against Rochdale. We scored an early goal and tried, maybe for the first time in the season, to defend the lead. It was successful and we were off to Wembley. The play-off final was against Swindon. We scored an early goal again. And then another. But Swindon made a great comeback and it was 3-3 with just a few minutes back. However, just before injury time, we managed to score after a corner. AND WE WON PROMOTION TO LEAGUE 2!!! It was a typical game for this season. Lots of goals in both ends. The most important players must be the striker duo, Frederick and Asante, with 39 and 37 goals respectively. Another very important player was Morris, who produced 27 assists and 13 goals. The young trio had a great season after they came through the intake just last season. The last guy of the front four is Baxter with 15 assists and 9 goals. Binnom-Williams was again important with 17 assists from the left full-back position. I will provide a screenshot of my 4 best players, Asante, Eze, Frederick, and Morris. The youth intake preview looked good with 5 stars but only a single A. The intake was great with Karakas and Vidovsek, who can provide some attacking depth to my team, which I currently lack. They look decent with ok personalities. Unfortunately, the third most exciting-looking player, Zakaria, has a bad personality. And Nembhard lacks any kind of physical talent. My former best player Wightwick left on a free transfer to Italy before the season. Otherwise, no transfers of significance. Finances and Upgrades Because of the financial trouble we did not get any upgrades this season. However, I managed to get assigned to one new trainer course, and I am currently studying for the continental B license. I hope the League 2 status and the new stadium, which should be ready for the new season, will help clear out the financial problems. Or that the board will just pay like they already did a few times in the season when the balance got too low. The gate receipts from the play-off final on Wembley actually helped a lot with £300,000 and cleared most of the negative balance! Strangely, my junior coaching is exceptional compared to excellent last season. But maybe it just takes time for an upgrade to have an effect? Next season Next season, I hope to be free of relegation. Hopefully, I can keep my best players and develop the team. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With such a large stadium I take it its from high costs rather than a lack of revenue streams? is it because of the maxed youth costs, or just in general money is tight? I'm always curious when they add a new league how balanced it feels. At least it seems not to be a Belgium situation. nah its mostly due to new stadium. the board decided to build a new one and costs are 250k per month....as we ware breaking even more or less that means we are losing now 2-3 mln per season. but the new stadium is coming in 2 more seasons...and we are playing in 27k stadium in nagoya but our average attenece is only 6k. did go up form 2k from J3. lets hope to get in to 10k when new stadium is out. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Virtual Male Posted October 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2023 Season 5 2028/29 Manager Profile - Competitions - Finances - Facilities Competitions Vanarama National League (Past Positions) - A rough season, we never found any consistency and the defence and keeper let us down a lot throughout the season. Spent the majority of the season hovering 5/6 points above the relegation zone but a tough run in at the end of the season left me thinking we were going down. Luckily the teams under us were just awful and we avoided the drop by 1 point. The Emirates FA Cup - Made it into the FA Cup proper again but no heroics this year with a 1t round exit. The Isuzu FA Trophy - My first trophy!!! (winning the play-offs doesn't count right?). Quite a fortunate run to be honest, the first team we faced that had anything about them was South Shields in the Semi-Final, a late winner saw us get the better of Julio Arca's team and would see us come up against Bath in the final, who had just lost the play-off Finals. The game ended up being rather dull, an early red for Bath saw them sit back and defend pretty much nullifying our attack with the only goal of the game coming from a direct free kick and handing Merthyr Town their first silverware of my reign... Hopefully plenty more to come. Squad - The lack of quality at the back really let us down again this year, especially our keeper who conceded 12 more than the xG showed and we had a league low of 5 clean sheets in the season. I'll have to try to figure that out over the summer. Zack Maher - My spotlight player should probably be Ryan Astley since he won both the league Top Scorer and Player of the Season but I can't talk about him every season so I'm spreading the love. Zack Maher is one of the legacy players that's still getting a good amount of game time and he came up big this season with 11 goals and 9 assists in the league from DM, since he's only 26 too he should have plenty of time left in him which is good given the youth players don't really develop much with part-time training. Youth Intake (Preview) - 5 A's in the preview left me rushing to March when I'd get the intake and it defiantly didn't disappoint. 11 5* players with one that'll walk straight into the first team and hopefully solve some of our defensive issues. Sam Jones (2029YP1) - Just turned 16 and already they best keeper at the club. He'll be rotating with Cogman next season just to avoid over playing him at such a young age because I've got it in my head that's in some way damaging to youth development but I'd happily be corrected by one of you guys who knows more. Transfers & Finances - One out this season, no-one important though. The finances aren't looking good with nearly a £500k loss over the season, I'm not sure there's much I can really do about that though so We'll just have to try to ride it out I suppose. Other - A couple of upgrades this year, the board decided to up the Youth Category of the club so were category 4 now, the yearly cost will be about £300k though and I'm not sure we can afford it really. I got my National A Licence too but I think that'll be it for a while now given the financial state of the club. Bingo Card - 9/100, when I started filling this in I was a little disappointed that the win the vanarama south box would be forever red but given how we played this season we might well end up back down there soon . 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikthop Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Anyone knows what's the deal with the (seemingly) conflicting information regarding the youth intake quality? I often see previews where on the right side of the screen we get 5ish golden stars and "Excellent Intake" description, but on the left side the grades are all awful. In cases like this should we expect a good or bad intake? Not the best example of what I'm talking about - seeing how the grades aren't truly awful-, but kinda like this intake from KingKCrush: 9 hours ago, KingKCrush said: Youth Intake and Improvements The preview of the YI wasn't really promising..

Combined with some short and lackluster cup runs it wasn't the most entertaining of seasons other than us getting beat 4 - 0 once a month, leading to many different tactics with varying degrees of success. A decent early run meant the board was willing to give me Junior Coaching upgrades but that's pretty much all that was upgraded this season.
