Especially if I get domestic dominance in a small league, then the focus will be only on continental matches.

I've had this thought before trying to do a youth only Pentagon so can move teams (but with only the vanilla database).

Last season went so well. But we lost our best player(Óli Valur Hrólfsson 24b) to Bordeaux. But even more bad was that I started the season without a goalkeeper.... I had three GK's, but I released one of them because he was constantly moaning for playing time, while he was really not good enough to even sit on the bench. So I released him on a free. Only a couple of days later my first GK broke his leg: out for about 7 months. So I had only one GK left: a 17 year old lad from the 2025 intake. And also this guy broke his leg So I didn't have a GK when the season started. I put my tallest player on goal, but it all didn't help. We lost almost every match(some of the results were 12-1, 9-5, 8-0 and 8-2) and we got relegated. They sacked me after the season. I am really, really devastated. I don't know where I will be heading next. Probably a different save then a Youth Only for a while, as I'm done with it for now. My condolences! So bad! I feel deeply with you and hope you will come back with solace and stronger than ever before. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have thought about it before I completed it in South Africa, I would have continued that save, but since North America and Oceania is impossible to do with the vanilla db, I needed to restart. For all I know, I might never get past the first hurdle, but seeing as I have a clear long term goal in mind, it feels like something I can stick to. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFC Telford (National League) First Round: Loss 2-4 v. Cambridge (League One) FA Trophy Third Round: Loss 1-2 v. AFC Fylde (National League) Overview A very stressful season, where it felt like at any point we were starting to slip up and would have the inevitable choke that would keep us out of the football leagues - but that never happened and we emerged as champions, confirming our league win on the final game of the season. We went 26-9-11, finishing with 87 points, After a start to the season with a few close draws and loses, we managed to keep winning 1-0 and 2-0 close games, where our defence and goalkeeper really shined, before getting outselves into first by December, a position from which we would not slip. A key 2-0 beating of 2nd place Stevenage in March all but confirmed it for us, opening up an 8 point gap. I nearly pulled my hair out at the end of the season, where we had two back to back games featuring a player of ours getting a double yellow red card, giving us two losses and letting Stevenage pull 6 points closer. It was all for naught as on the final day we beat Radcliffe 2-0 to confirm the championship. Throughout the season we had the best offence and the 4th or 5th best defence. Cup-wise it was actually a fairly dismal year, we went out in the first round of the FA Cup to a League One Cambridge side that would go on to finish 22nd in their league, and then lost to fellow National League side Fylde in the FA Trophy 3rd round. I do think leaving these cups early helped us down the stretch with player fitness and game congestion issues. We had a new player of the year and top goal scorer this year in Sean O'Connor. He had been lurking around the club for a few years as our 3rd striker, and had just been crushing it in that role, providing significant goal contribution. Giving this contribution, I felt it was time to give him a full-time chance, and he did not disappoint with 19 goals, 11 assists and a 7.3 average. Diego Mustoe, our star striker had somewhat of an off-year compared to his usual self, but still managed to get 18 goals, 9 assists and a 7.08 average rating. Our other new star player was central defender Aeon Vassallo who definitely emerged as the core of our defence and was just an incredible stopper. His 19 jumping reach and 12 heading is also a godsend for us on set pieces, and he finished as a tied-3rd best scorer, netting 10 goals and adding 3 assists. This makes our 3rd trophy in the cabinet (including two Vanarama North League Titles). I managed to win my 2nd manager of the season award for my efforts. Off the Field To make room for Sean O'Connor, I made the difficult decision to sell on long-time stalwart and fan icon Davide Santangelo. He had been with us since the 2026 intake and has been a starting striker since then and was our leading youth appearances and goals player. When he left the club he had 321 club appearances, 143 goals, 54 assists and a 7.17 all time average rating, I'm still not convinced it was the right decision, but O'Connor had better stats, Santangelo was throwing a fit anytime he missed the start of a game and was starting to show cracks against better teams. He was sold to League One side Torquay for $400,000 - and only managed to feature in 5 games off the bench for them, failing to score. He is sadly on the transfer list there now, for much less than we sold him (RIP our sell-on clause). Nonetheless, he will be missed. We also sold starting/squad defender Ben McGowan. He was from the same intake as Santangelo and was a starting CB for a while, but he was just overtaken in talent by younger youth prospects and eventually fell out of the team. I was just happy to get him off the payroll for a bit of money, and ended up selling him to League Two Morecambe for $10,000, where he featured in 34 games but had a dismal 6.54 rating. For Macclesfield, he featured in 280 games and had 11 goals. We had no major facility improvements this year, but with the league win, we of course went Professional, and had our youth rating upgraded to a 2. I am definitely worried about the financial situation for next year, and will report back on what that looks like. Youth Intake A pretty dismal intake again, with only 1 elite player, a GK coming through, and 3 top talents. Intake Preview Youth Intake Elite Talent Next Season Our board want us to immediately become established in League Two, so I have my work cut out for me. I think our team is up for it. Onwards and Upwards! Brilliant update, I read everything with much interest. It reminds me of the long years in VNS and the days of legends like Rhys Platt. I‘m impressed how you get rid of those honorary players. It’s always very hard for me. Like this time Fabjon Mara. How do you think about those decisions? Good work and hopefully you’ll impress in the EFL! Fingers crossed. Edited January 2 by HanziZoloman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we do have a good team, many of the starting players are rated as "Good" for the top tier, so the Colombian connection seems to be working fine. In my holiday save to see if everything works well, this also happened to the club, so while I'd rather take all the credit, I think the club being connected to Colombia is a key part of it. But I won't complain! In the initial phase we did well, and as last season, dropped a bit off in the Sixth Round.

Popular Post Riebow Posted January 3 Popular Post Share Posted January 3 Olot UE Season Review (30/31) Another season in the Seguna Division in the books. We started the season on fire, perhaps pushing for a championship bid. Unfortunately we weren't able to continue our good form and we became much more inconsistent in the 2nd half of the season. We finished the season in 5th place and another Playoffs berth. Playoffs We had to take on Zaragoza in the playoffs semifinals. Both games were nerve wracking affairs and we were tied after two times 90 minutes. Unfortunately they hit us on the counter in the 111th minute of Extra Time and we will spend another season in the 2nd division. Copa del Rey A really nice cup run, eliminating two top tier teams in Espanyol and, more impressively, Ath Madrid! We were rewarded with a dream fixture agains Real Madrid. We gave them all we had, but narrowly last 0-1. Youth Intake Another nice preview with A's for Full Backs, Wingers and Strikers... Spoiler The intake was more than decent, with 6 elite talents and two standouts in my opinion: Spoiler Abdou Niang (AMRC/STC, Spirited) Very technically gifted deep lying forward. He lacks speed and the killer instinct to be my main striker, but perhaps as a playmaker or a deep lying forward in support Spoiler Ignacio Iglesias( AMR/MRC;, Driven) Great mentals for a 15 year old and Driven personality is as good as it gets. Lacks speed to play outside, but can definitely develop as a good central midfielder Spoiler Transfers As usual nothing in. One big transfer out. Afred Olles (intake of 25) was our biggest talent from our first intake. He wanted to leave so I decided to offer him out. Real Santander agreed to match his release clause. Spoiler Finances and upgrades What is very weird and I don't know if this is a bug, but there is absolutely no price money in either the cup or in the divisions, which seems weird... Anyhow, our finances are still healthy. I haven't requested any upgrades this season, but I might attempt for an upgraded youth facilities next season Best XI A much better season. The core of our team exists out of players from our first 2 intakes and they have seem to hit their ceiling. Oscar Suarez (intake of 25) is a fine goalkeeper, but unlikely to improve much. I might loan out some of his backups to see one of them can overtake him next season. In defense Isidre Mola (intake of 28) was a pleasant surprise. He started the season as our 3rd option as right back but quickly became the unquestioned starter. In centre half is where we are weakest and I wil try out different players next season. We have a lot of good options in midfield, with our Andorran international Loîc Julien (intake of 27) as the best of them. In offense Miguel Angel Ricart (intake of 25) had a great rebound season, scoring 23 goals and finishing with the highest average rating in the league! Spoiler 5 years ago... Was our 2nd intake and our first in the 3rd tier. It ended up being less special than the one before but still produced some decent players. 7 of the players are still with the team: - Andreu Gaixas: a very valuable squad player, who has seemed to reach his ceiling. He's unlikely to make it in the first division when we get there - Andrew Musa: was considered the biggest talent of the intake but hasn't really established himself yet. He's my backup left back at the moment - Joan Miquel Muntadas: our backup goalkeeper. He might get some chances to see if he could develop in a better player than our current GK - Robert Vall: is playing in the regional divisions - Gorka aketxe: didn't get a contract - Oscar Castillo: left at the end of his youth contract and has now retired - Antonio: our rock in defense, always available, never injured - Antoni: He's our starting left back at the moment - Isidre Figueras: left after the end of his youth contract and is now playing in the 5th tier - Aureli: Starting mezzala or advanced playmaker. Important player to the squad - Raimon: left after the end of his youth contract and is now playing in the 5th tier - Delfi Arias: has played most of our games last season as central defender next to Antonio. However; doen't seem to improve anymore, will probably be replaced next season - Isidre: Left at the end of his youth contract and is playing in the 4rd tier - Andreu Pla: Left for a small fee to a Spanish 5th tier team - Lucas Vallejos: left on a free to a Spanish 5th tier team - Robert Guso: didn't get a contract Spoiler Next season We've been in the playoffs two times in three years. Our squad has developed nicely in the 2nd tier to the point where I think we can compete for a promotion spot. I will also try to get some more upgrades approved 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CJ'43 Posted January 3 Popular Post Share Posted January 3 Kavala Football Club / Αθλητικός Όμιλος Καβάλα Season 9 - 2032/33 Schedule / Squad / Transfers / Finances / Manager Season Summary: The summer of 3032 had the Olympics being held in Australia. Two Kavala players represented Greece in the competition, and the Hellenic team came home with a silver medal, only losing to Italy in the final. Stefanos Karypidis, 29c, was even named for the Dream Team of the tournament. We sold Christos Titis 30g, to AEK for 1.5 million, enabling us to upgrade our youth facilities and increase our junior coaching budget. This year was a little bit disappointing, marking the first time playing in our new stadium. I was hoping we could fight for our first-ever European qualification; however, that wasn't even considered. We won only one of the first 10 games, and even with interesting results such as a 1-1 draw at home and a 2-1 win in Athens against the 55-time champions Olympiacos, it was not enough to qualify for the championship group. We ended up in 3rd place in the relegation phase, 19 points away from going down. (Regular phase / Relegation phase) In the cup, a premature exit against Iraklis from the Super League 2. Vasilis Kyrualanis was once again our player with the highest average rating, keeping 13 clean sheets in the league and being named the GK of the year for the third time. Also, for the third time, he was part of the best XI in the league. Dimitris Manafis, 25a, was 3rd in the Talent of the Year award in the Super League. Thanasis Ioannidis and Thanasis Gogolos 31m, both with 6 goals were out top-goalscorers. One former Kavala player was part of the NXGN reveal: Grigoris Kabiotis, 29a, who left last year for 3.5 million to join Inter and was ranked 42nd. I received offers from Wales and Poland to become their NT manager, both of which were, of course, rejected. Our finances are still in the red. We were 3 million down, but with an injection of 1.4 million from the board and the money from TV and sponsors at the end of the season, we're now only 1.3 million in the red. The 300k/month to pay for the loan of the stadium is killing us. After PAOK's win in the Conference League last year, this time it was Atromitos shining, reaching the final of the competition, only to lose to Brighton. Greece was the 6th country with the highest coefficient this season and is now 9th overall. Youth intake: Some interesting prospects this year, with a few capable of being in the first team in a couple of years such as Thodoros Petsianis, Kostas Kostenoglou, Dimitri Kasdovasilis and Angelos Kobosis.

HenTheChicken Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) Well god damn, you can't say we didnt absolutely stick it to them. We never beat a big team but our biggest loss was 4-0 to eventual champions newtown, and honestly, thats not too bad. 34 points, 8 wins, and staying up to fight another season when we've proven we can just about play in that midpack. Youth intake was alright we've got some more starters from it but still, nobody to really write home about. Can't complain overall. We were deadly from set pieces, with 14 of our 41 goals coming from them, but, we also conceded way too many (22 of 61) and will have to change our set piece defense next season, with all of this I firmly believe that we can stay up and push for the European Playoffs next season. League Performance Spoiler xG TABLE: Well. We did what we had to and other teams underperformed. Good season. Europe / Cups Spoiler no comment.

You're right about the jump from SL2 to SL1. I am struggling similarly, even with allowing myself to re-sign homegrown players, which is why I do not post on this thread. In my first season in SL1 I am currently above the last two teams, but I also had a 12-game winless streak. Your posts do not fill me with hope. Your intakes look good every year, I think it's a matter of time before you start getting into the European Qualification group. You would be doing a lot better without the new stadium, that expense is crazy in a league with minimal prize/TV money.

We honestly should have won it, as we crushed them 5-0 in the final match of the Fourth Round only a week before. But some times the ball just doesn't want to hit the net. It is what it is, and we'll go again next season. The team really is good. A few of the players I started with are now "Leading" players for this tier, so I think the Colombian link is boosting us.

libbyshuss Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 South Africa - TS Sporting FC South Africa Premier Soccer League 2029/30 (Season 6) League Prediction: 12th Actual finish: 5th I was hopeful of pushing on this season and challenging for continental qualification. But in November, after 4 straight defeats, we were sitting 12th and it wasn't looking likely. Worst thing is I know what the problem is but I don't want to do anything about it! I have a very attacking formation with a very top heavy squad, meaning our better players are by far our attacking players. So I play as many as I can, but results are erratic at best. When we lose, we tend to lose 7-4 or some bonkers score line like that. I stubbornly continued and after christmas we started to get the better end of the score lines and 6 wins out of our last 7 threw us up to 5th Players So here is the unbalanced team and tactics. I love it! There's no back up in defence at all really. Up front we have lots of options, so much so that our best player Sinethemba Nune 27A will probably be sold before next season. He is whining about joining a team with better players and I'm not sure I can put up with his BS. Top Scorer:- Senele Bunting 27B - Spearheading the front 3 as a poacher means he gets lots of chances, which he takes with aplomb. 26 goals in 35 starts as part of 3 man attack is pretty good! Player of the Season:- Phakamani Molefe 25K - shows the importance of loans in this save. He didn't have the best potential when he came through so I kept sending him out on loan. He kept coming back better and better, to such an extent I decided to throw him in the first team for this season. Where he got a 7.55 rating over the season. He was great! and at 21, one of the old men of the side! Youth For some reason I didn't get a preview again. Maybe because I changed HoYD? who knows.... anyway, the intake was ok when it came in Only two elite talents but Zuma was a centre back, which I was desperate for. And his starting attributes are hugely encouraging Career It's good fun in South Africa, even if it does look like we've stalled the last couple of seasons. But with decent money, decent facilities, we should be challenging before too long 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dkouv Posted January 3 Popular Post Share Posted January 3 Brora Rangers – Season 15 (2038/39) Premiership We actually played better than in any previous season and were right in the title race, but in the end we couldn’t keep it up and a resurgent Rangers pipped us to the usual runner-up spot, with us finishing 3rd in the end. On the plus side, we won our first real trophy of the save, the league cup. Europe A great run in the CL, we only lost 2 games in the group stage and dispatched Red Star in the playoff before narrowly losing to Real Madrid in the last 16. Players We have our first wonderkid in Owen Young 12b (DL/DMC), who won the NxGn award and is generally just a top class player. He made 16 assists this season, with our other standout player Hamish Maguire 09c (ST) netting most of them, with 27 goals in total. Youth intake (preview) A strange one - I kind of feel that this could’ve been a really amazing intake given the ability ratings, but it’s all in the wrong positions (center mid, we only play with DMs and our best player is already a DM), and the top prospects have terrible personalities, shame on me for getting rid of a model citizen HOYD and replacing him with a professional one with better overall ratings. So, not overly impressed in the end unless I can design a narrow 4-3-3 that takes advantage of all my new center mids and strikers. Facilities The new board kept refusing youth facility upgrades, then at the end of the year complained that I didn’t develop the best youth system in the country. Classic. The new stadium plans are getting more concrete, however. Transfers Nothing of note.

The issue is Oceania where I can't get any of the databases using promotion/relegation into the bottom league. My workaround is outlined above. For example, the Vanuatu database I have loaded has 3 leagues in the database. I therefore load the top two leagues, meaning there'll be a promoted team into the second division (from the 3rd). Not technically unplayable as such, but not sure what else I'd do in Oceania. I was also plannign to do the same in Costa Rica and Egypt.

leyrtj Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 So we begin the challenge in Vanuatu with Mauriki FC in the 3rd tier. The database we're using goes down to 3 leagues, and at the end of the season actually had promotion and relegation, so we didn't need to take the worst team. With 4 groups of 8 teams and 2 going down in each league, there were 8 teams to choose from. Originally I could only find three of them, then I realized that in the season preview, the "R" next to the favourites were actually "P". Yes, 7 of the top 12 favourites had been promoted the previous year. It gets stranger, but that's for the first update - we're most of the way through the first season to make sure everything is working. The plan for the save is to go in the following order. The country underlined is the country we plan to do, but things may change along the way. When we feel we might be close to finishing off one continent we're load 5 leagues from the next continent, including some vanilla leagues. I plan to get through the seasons as quickly as possible, especially at the beginning.

Popular Post BustaRaymes Posted January 4 Popular Post Share Posted January 4 New save sticks, so here we go! FC Vaajakoski 2024 Finnish First Division We did pretty well in our first year, with a young squad that looks good for the first few years. Managed to qualify for the promotion group, but obviously coming up short there: Squad As mentioned before: a nice young squad with decent ability. We were searching for fitting formation most of the season as we lack a proper striker but this has worked out best for us. Mikkonen is a decent goalkeeper but we hope to find a better one in the near future Sarkkinen was our best man at the back this year. Strong and fast, he's an important player for us. In midfield, Björn is the perfect man linking up our midfield to the attack. He was in and out of the team a few times as I was struggling with him, Niemelä and Salim all being useful players and wanting to play all of them ideally. Häkkinen was the top goalscorer. I imagined him as the starting striker at first but he scored more as a winger. Transfers All quiet Youth intake A few decent players, but not a real star. Did have an upgrade already so hoping for higher CA players in the coming years. Koistinen looks good with a nice personality to boot. We're set in the winger positions but he might be useful later. Nyberg needs some time to grow, we'll just wait and see if he can reach the level we need Laine has some beautiful playmaking abilities, which we lack. If he can develop physically he may be a very good addition. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gonner Posted January 4 Popular Post Share Posted January 4 (edited) Austria Salzburg, Season 12, 2035/2036 Season Recap : The season recap is a bit misleading because it takes the positions after the first phase. That first phase was the best we ever did, but Salzburg was only 1 loss away from the perfect season so we did not close the gap there. Austria Wien had a really good year also and they were not too far from us, on top of this they were the only team to beat Salzburg. This is how we began the second phase : Over the last 10 games, we only managed to win 4, draw 1 and lose 5, so we did not take advantage of Salzburg's slow end of the season (3 draws, 3 losses in the title pool). Wien leapfrogged us and Rapid were just 1 goal away from kicking us out of the podium so this was quite disappointing. Salzburg only got 15 points out of a possible 30, so getting 20 or 21 would have meant a possible challenge for the title. There are still 6 Austrian clubs playing in Europe but Hartberg lost against 7-th placed Altach who will play in C4. In the Cup, we lose in Semis against Wien at their place. For our first season in the Champions League, we could have had a worse draw. Molde was probably the worst team in that phase, Anderlecht & Metz were OK to deal with. We even managed to win in the Salzburg derby away from home ! We qualify for the elimination barrage and draw Liverpool which was far from the best possible match-up. After drawing at home we lose at Anfield but I am nonetheless quite happy with our performances for a first appearance on the big scene. Transfers : We did not renew Bandlow, who was now basically our 4th best right winger after Ciric and our 2 strikers, Walter & Domke, but still asked for top-5 wage. We also say goodbye to our last non-regen player, Fötschl & Engl, a young defender who had very slim hopes of cracking into the first team. Révélation Finances : Révélation We started the year with 26M€ in the bank and got close to 40M€ in prize money with our Champions League run, so now we are up to 56M€. Squad : My 3 favorite tactics are still 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3 & 4-4-2, seems like this year we used 4-4-2 the most. Very happy with my front 4, Ciric is my best player and probably the best player to ever play for us, but he does not want to renew his contract and wants to play for a bigger team... In midfield, I managed to extend Mohr after last season, when we play in 4-2-3-1 Bauer plays AMC & Neumann plays next to Mohr. Mohr attracts interest from the best teams and has been seen twice "leaving a nightclub in the early hours of morning" but so far he has not asked to be transfered. Hermann Diegmann from our class of '33 is making good progress and he could become our next AMC. From that class, Nico Lang is also progressing well, that is why I let Fötschl walk at the beginning of the year. From the next class, our wonderkid Beuth is now our best full-back, I trained him to play on the left side since Aksu is a lot better than Bah. I believe our two worst positions now are second CB (but I think Böhmer from the '35 class is progressing quickly and I am optimistic he can dislodge Bah / Imamovic as the second-best CB next season) and... GK. Kovacic is seen by my coaches as an OK-starter for Bundesliga but some youth prospects seem to have the potential to become better than him. Admin & Facilities : Nothing to note here, I still cannot ask for improvements for my youth facilities despite them being stuck at "superb" for 4 seasons now. Our new stadium also helps with the finance side of things and it is only full in Europe and for derbies, we have room to spare for the lesser games. Bonus : Révélation Still 5th best youth setup in the world, with 3 of the 4 best graduates playing for us. And 3 of the top-20 wonderkids ! Which is both good and bad, because they tend not to stay with us. Youth Intake : Not the best of preview, but we finally get a left-back !! Only 5 players worthy of a screenshot though, 2 elites & 3 top. Richard Kurz : Alleluia ! A real left-back ! Now that Beuth is natural at this position it's not a top priority but we still lack depth. And Kurz does not have to become better than Beuth to make the first team, only better than Aksu which would then mean that Beuth would go back to his initial position on the right. Révélation Tim Ameskamp: Good second striker who can bring depth on the wings as well, his versatility is really an asset considering the number of strikers we have, he may end up like Hartmann or Domke and find his playing time more on the wings. Révélation Samuel Adler : We have had numerous CM coming through our ranks in recent years with Mohr (33), Lopez (34) and Wurm (35), so that makes it 4 years in a row. With Adler getting "only" 4 stars in potential I would not bet all my money on him becoming better than the 3 elite talents that came before him but we never know. Révélation Mathias Bornemann : We now only have Hartmann (who plays out of position) and Lang as left wingers, so the path to the first team is easier for Bornemann. I will obviously train him to play a little higher on the field but I still like the fact that he is natural as a wide midfielder. Révélation Adi Seferovic: Like CM, we have had elite AM coming up in the past 3 years with Diegmann (33), Decker (34) & Rabl (35) being seen as elite talents, so like Adler, Seferovic has his work cut out for him, all the more considering we only ever play with (1) AM when we line up in 4-2-3-1, so it is a tough battle ahead. Révélation 7 years after : A quick look at what our 2029 youth became. This was our first intake in Bundesliga, so supposedly the stars should have been harder to get than when we were in 2. Liga, but that did not stop Sabic from considering that a whopping 9 players were elite talents at the time... And well, it did not turn out this way at all. Let's get to the ones who are still with us. Kenan Todorovic, CD : He is still with us, but it is probably a question of months before he leaves us. Todorovic was supposed to become Bertram's partner in defense, but so far it seems like he is still behind Imamovic & Bah and barely better than Kiene. He spent the last 2 seasons on loan in the second division and has not been particularly exceptional. Böhmer from the class of '35 seems to be making good progress, and his 2 buddies from the same year are not far behing, so this could spell the end for Kenan. Révélation Harm Domke, ST turned RW : With Todorovic likely out in a few months, the only player that might stick around with us is Domke. He is kind of a late bloomer, becoming really relevant recently, but he is our best right winger behind Ciric, and likely one of our best False Nine or Second Striker, which allows him to play behind Walter or Gül in a 4-4-2. Révélation Those who left us : Peter Albl, GK was for a while supposed to become better than Kovacic, but then Kevin Schwab (31) came up and he became our bench GK. Albl left us for free at the end of his youth contract having played 5 games for us, all in his first two seasons. He is now playing in for Altach's reserve side, so no regrets. Bozenko Stokic, RB also left after his youth contract and signed in Croatia, where he plays in the 2nd division. Julian Frede, RB left us in July 2032 for 115K€ and joined Wolfsberger, one of the best 2. Liga teams, where he starts as a WB in a 5-2-3 DM formation. He was more suited to WB than RB so that makes sense. Henrik Berger, LB has retired and cannot be found in my save, so it is safe to assume he had very low potential considering he played in a position of need for us. Lucas Rosch, RW left us in July 2032 for 835€ (yes, that is the right amount) and joined Bregenz, a team that pops up every once in a while in 2. Liga only to get relegated a few years after. He did not make a single first team appearance and now plays in amateur Austrian leagues. Pasko Stipica, RW had very good potential and was almost first-team ready but his favorite role was playmaker which is not something really suited to the tactics I play, considering I already have one or 2 playmakes in midfield. He left for free and went to SV Ried, where he has barely played for the first team. Patrick Galm, LW left us in August 2032 for 150K€ and joined Sturm Graz, where he has made a single apparition for the first team in 4 years (but registered an assist, so his average grade in the Bundesliga is 7.4, not bad !)
