Another good season for us! After our promotion from last season, my only hope was to avoid relegation. But we managed to qualify for the Promotion playoffs! We finished 5th in the League, and with that finish we qualified for the playoffs. But we were never a real candidate for the two promotion places.  I'm just really happy that we are good enough to avoind relegation this easily, and can compete with the bigger teams in this league. I think this is the maximum this current squad can do. On the final day of the season we managed to win 5-1 against champion Esbjerg fB, although is has to be said that a couple of days earlier they won the league. So maybe they were still drinking beers

In the Cup we survived three rounds, but found our Waterloo in the Fourth Round, against fallen giant Aalborg.

One of my best players was striker Marius Framnes. He was originally a left winger, but I retrained him into a striker, as I play with 3 strikers. He scored 15 goals, and produced 16 assists. But also my other strikers Christian Nissen(22 goals) and David Müller (25 goals) scored lots of goals. Also a shout-out to Academy product Esben Miltoft 25c, who is developing into a good midfielder for us. He is ony of the three Academy Products in our first XI.

Youth intake & preview
I hired a new HoYD: Christian Grindheim. His first preview was promising, and the intake itself didn't disappoint. Soms nice talents!

Upgrades
The board accepted again some improvements for the Junior Coaching budget, who is new labelled as Excellent. Beside that, there is no money for other improvements. But this current board is injecting money into the club to clear the debts every now and then. So I'm very happy with that.
We are also renting another stadium. Our previous stadium was too small for this level, so we are now playing in Østerbro Stadion, with a capacity of 4,4K. But it will take a while until we can sell out our stadium, as the average attendance this season was 528.

 

Progress

Well, I'm not sure if I will continue this save. There are some problems in Denmark, I think. I can't give my staff part-time contracts, only amateur contracts. So that's a bit weird, as we are semi-pro. But more important: other clubs can sign my players for free, even when they have a semi-pro contract! At the start of season 3 I lost several players, because other/bigger clubs can just sign them for free. I don't like that. At all. So I lost the motivation a bit to continue this save.

I guess I could give this a try for the first time in a few months!

Squad | Transfers | Finances

Well, we finished as the best of the rest this season. Inter Club d'Escaldes has gone professional and are thus getting in players way above what any other team can get, so they are clearly out of range for a while. Santa Coloma had a surprisingly good season this time and finished way above what was expected, and Carroi has been good the last seasons, so no surprise they were up there. But we did really well this season, and took a major step towards Europe, which is the goal. Financially, we need Europe to improve the club, as we are slowly losing money, and I can't see any other means of getting income other than reaching Europe somehow. In a good news, we managed to pick a single point of Inter Club d'Escaldes this season, as we managed a 0-0 draw at home to them. And the other two times we faced them we only lost by a single goal, so we have stopped being outclassed at least. And finishing one spot away from Europe is very promising for us, and I hope we can get into Europe within the next few years, as we are getting in more talented players, and slowly replace the worst of the original squad.

Copa Constitució Protecvall: We had a very tough draw as we faced Inter Club d'Escaldes in the first round we joined and unsurprisingly lost to them to exit in the 2nd round.

Best players from the academy:

Pascal Breuil 25c - Had a good season in midfield for us. Also developing very nicely.
Fabio Salmerón 26c - The other part of the midfield duo also had a good season.
Abdourahamane Abdou 25b - Our top scorer, but very hot and cold over the whole season.

New club records:

Most goals in a match - Biel Gelabert - 4 goals
Most goals in a league match - Biel Gelabert - 4 goals
Most clean sheets in a season - Sergio Coll - 9 clean sheets
Worst discipline - Gonzalo Pons - 5 yellow cards, 0 red cards

Tony Pizza at Kerala United FC - Go Hornbills! - Season 1

Admin updates

So this is an edited database as the Indian league is just completely wrong in FM. The league itself goes through some changes each season until it settles on the new structure that should take effect in 27/28 (I think). 

League Phase

Well We had a very quiet period from when I joined until the end of December, as there was no games! Our first game of the season was on the 21st of December, (12/21), and then ended in April. 8 teams in the league and we play each other twice, so this season went quick!

We did incredibly well this season - half of our team were grey players and they turned out to be incredibly useful. Or my tactic is just amazing!

Promotion first season! Absolutely incredible year. Turns out we were predicted top so we didn't do as well as we were meant to but still!

Youth Intake

Very good youth intake but when you look at the "best" below, you will see that the star ratings don't mean much!

Best from the Intake

Spoiler

Fernandes looks like he could be useful for him, because he has some pace. He can't play football at all but he can run around the pitch fast.

The 177 season ticket holders are in for a wild ride as we go up the leagues!

Deportivo Armenio Season 4 – 2026 – First Division

League

Based on the season preview we were supposed to finish 19^th, with 250-1 odds of winning the title, another massive improvement compared to last year, but not nearly as much as we deserved considering where we finished last season. We had a slower start to the season, with Libertadores being the focus, but once we started rolling, we were steamrolling teams, finding ourselves around the first place for most of the season. But we simply couldn’t keep it up and this unlucky defeat against River away ruined our big dream of winning the league title . Or so I thought. River bottled it losing their last game of the season, Boca weren’t as good as they were in the previous season. Both of them were 2 points ahead of us, if we won our game, we would win it all. We played our final game against 11^th place Union SF, and we won. We won the title, playing really poorly in our last game. But I guess its luck smiling back at us after taking it almost all away in that River match earlier in the season. Fourth season and a title won. Cant believe it and by a single point.

Once again, I used the league cup as a means of raising fitness and happiness, rotating every player before the Libertadores games. Plenty of young players got plenty of minutes and we still finished a very good 6^th, a single point behind River Plate, the last team qualified for the league cup playoffs. Four out of our five defeats were by a single goal. If we took the tournament more serious we could have won the throphy, but the Liberatdores is the only way to make money, with the group stage giving us 3 and the first knockout round an additional million. Winner gets 16 million. They really need to scale these prizes better…

We started the Libertadores game in style, winning 4 0 away, good form continued as we won the next two games as well. We suffered in the second part, winning only one point from 3 games, but still somehow finished first in our group. In all fairness it was a easy group, with no Brazilian teams. The club we played in the first knockout round was Gremio. Won the first game away, but lost 2 1 at home, which meant penalties, 10 rounds of penalties until we finally went through to the quarter finals where we faced off with Flamengo. They are the best team in south America, winning the Libertadores 3 out of the last 4 times. Played them well at home 2 2, but they demolished us 4 1 away. In total made 5,5 mil from Libertadores, and are a couple of hundred thousand in the green, for now. Flamengo went on and won the whole thing. Fourth title in 5 years. They are the team to beat in this save

Our nest was robbed once again this year. Pablo Fernandez went off to Huracan. Our youth intake promised 3 talented players, a striker, a DMC and at least one full back, with maybe a ok goalkeeper as well. Intake was something every single FM player, but especially us YAC challenge addicts love to see – no elite talents. Instead I got 4 top talents. Three of them were in expected positions, with an surprisingly talented CD. Ochoa is a well rounded DMC who can also play MC, looking forward to his growth, he does have a bit of jumping reach, so I might teach him to play CD in the future as well. Even if a natural striker, Robles is better as a right wing, also a good athlete and passer. Blanco is a natural central defender, but I am developing him as a BWMD. I have doubts that he will reach his potential since he is unambitious with low determination. Players with a similar combination of personality and determination failed to develop for me so far in this save. I am most excited by Michelena. He will be taught how to play the other fullback position, but he a professional individual, and I hope his improvement will lead to higher potential ratings down the road, since he entered the save with such low CA. Hoping for more luck next intake, especially for a 5 star defender…

Franco Gordillo made club history this season by becoming the first youth national after being called up to the u19 Argentina squad. First of many I am sure.

Once again, Pio Bonacci was our leading scorer with 24 goals

Gonzalo Rios was the most creative player

Luis Olmedo was our best rated player with 7.39

Next season I plan on giving it my all in the Libertadores once again. I really hope we avoid Flamengo, at least until the finals if we make it there. The title will give us plenty of reputation boost, so I expect a better intake, especially in terms of starting CA. I also plan to give a lot of playing time to a couple of youth prospects from the reserves. Dahan was one of the two elite talents from the second intake. He is 2,5 star in a bunch of roles across 4 different positions. Barone is a very talented winger who will get plenty chances as our backup right winger next season. Gordillo, our first youth national, will be the second option for both fullback spots. Finally, Vitiello is most likely our new number 1. Its close between him and Cuesta, but I am sure, given his improvement so far, that he will be better than Cuesta by the halfway point of the year at least.

 

[Thebaker]

The first season in the first div north was tough and the lack of defensive ability was telling as the team just lost a lot of games without being hammered.

In spite of the board expecting to attempt to avoid relegation they sacked me 2/3rds of the way into the season as they felt performances were not good enough and relegation seemed a formality.

 

I have restarted and holidayed through 2 seasons to start again in Sweden with Enkopings who were a much bigger club previously. They have poor facilities overall but have aquired several teams of players in the past 2 seasons!

Deportivo Armenio Season 5 – 2027 – First Division - Challenge Completed!

We were defeated in the Supercup by River, bad way to start the year. But that doesn’t matter anymore.

We drew the worst possible opponent in the group, Flamengo, including Barcelona and Tachira who we played last year. The group was a breeze, winning every game, beating Flamengo at home 2 0. We finished first in our group. It was relatively easy in the knockouts. We drew Palmeiras in the first round. The first game was a wild 3 3, where I experimented with Barone as a Terquatrista up front for the first time because Bonacci was injured. He absolutely crushed it with a goal and 2 assists. In the return leg it was a breeze, 3 0 win.  And then we got Flamengo for the second time this season. But there was an important distinction, Gabigol was injured, our chances were much better. 2 2 away and 2 1 at home. We were never a goal down in either leg. In the semifinals we face River. The first game away was a relatively easy 2 1 win. But we got ourselves in all kinds of trouble in the return leg. We controlled most of the match, but conceded two late goals and penalties decided who will go on to face Corinthians in the finals. They missed 3 out of 5 and we went to our first ever Copa Libertadores finals. Corinthians beat the crap out of us, but we prevailed against their 21 fouls and 1.6 xG. Rios to Bonacci for the only goal of the game. It was the two of them, with Olmedo, who formed the backbone of this team, and it is only right that I finished the challenge with the two of them giving us our most important win of the save. Challenge completed! @darren1983

The most important players for this save were the legacy ones. Balduzzi, Olmedo, Rios, Bonacci, the four of them were our best players in most seasons. But this season they did get a lot of help by our newgens. Barone developed really well, turning into a 4 star winger, who can also play pretty well as a Terq in attack, Dahan was our best player in a bunch of matches and is now a 3,5 star in like 10 different roles across 4 positions. Correa and Gordillo are both 3 star in their respective roles. It was a short save but one that is equally fun and frustrating. Its really hard to make money in Argentina.

Dahan and Vitiello have joined Gordillo as Argentina youth nationals. We made our first proper sale this season. Matias Irala, one of the three elite talents from our first intake was sold for 320K. He is 19 going on 20 now, just a 1,5 star CA with a bad personality. He had a 20% future transfer clause which we sold for close to 100K. So in total 420K for a player who might peak as an ok second division playmaker. Our intake was fine, two elite players, including a 2 star CA advance forward. But I won’t see them grow up.

We had two upgrades, finally! Improving recruitment to above average and junior coaching to good. Not that it matters anymore haha. We are around 3^rd and 4^th place in the league now that we have caught up with our games behind. Boca is once again a machine, and they will most likely win the league with a record number of points.

My part of the town was without internet for 5 days, and without electricity for most of one last week. As you can guess and see I spent most of that time reading Kant and Jane Austen. My next save is a patriotic one. Nobody has done a save in  Croatia and I will try to survive the frustrating first few seasons due to that dumb minimal age rule.

Season 2067/ 68

"The year went a lot better than expect. Guess we're back for good." Earl of Grey

The season started with a surprising first place after a few games in. The promising start went into a successful half season and Ricay was part of the Promotion contenders lingering around the top places. We had some close games and some unexpected wins. Expectations were low and the Earl focused on Player talks, dressing room atmosphere and OI (which is his new hobby). Even in January when form was dropping we still managed some wins against top contenders like Middlesbrough. The results February and March weren't as good as in the first half of the season but still good enough for not dropping beyond 10th. We are very happy and satisfied as we were predicted to finish last and have 2 Millions in annual wage spendings which is a joke compared to what the other teams are spending.

Spoiler

The success is completely resulted in an enormous teamwork and consequently no single player stood out of the bunch. There were many contributors.

Tom Moore: 8 goals / 5 assists

Loric Kalala: 6 g / 8 a

James Graham: 13 g / 1 a

Dominic Youngs: 4 g/ 7 a

Zenon Reardon: 6 g/ 5 a

Alex Stutter: 4 g/ 4 a

The Earl does not need to post pictures of the guys. Imagine some solid League One/ Two players. His tactical approach was a fluid counterattack with Moore and Kalala as his main contributors and Graham as the finisher of the moves. The 433 was replaced by a 424/ 442 inspired by the Ferguson ManU shape. 

Player of the year: The iconic Sky Cover, of course a tall CB, who the Earl doubted that he will make it in Championship proved all critics wrong and produced a strong 6.97 rated season for the blues. "He is my man at the back. I love him and of course I enjoy his name" said the Earl. 

Spoiler

Every year in Championship is a trophy for us.

We spent all of the season in a playoff spot and spent some time atop the table as well but a final day defeat saw us fall to 3rd, fortunately we were able to keep it together in the playoffs which sees us promoted to the 6th tier!

With the junior coaching already being as good as it is I was rather disappointed with this first intake.

We are building one step at a time, and now we got into the top 3 to reach Europe next season. Inter Club d'Escaldes were amazing as always, but also FC Santa Coloma had a banger of a season almost going toe to toe with them. Both are far better than us at the moment, but the rest we can beat. We are still a bit inconsistent, but it will come with better players and more time to develop. We are now almost down to conceding once per match on average, which is a goal for me, but we are also quite free scoring, so things are clearly going in the right direction for us. 

Copa Constitució Protecvall: We beat Massana and At. Amèrica before we lost to Inter Club d'Escaldes in the semi final.

Best players from the academy:

Fabio Salmerón 26c - Had a great season in midfield and even close to double digits in both goals and assists.
Abdourahamane Abdou 25b - A strong season up top and got a lot better at scoring this season.
Pascal Breuil 25c - More of a work horse in midfield, but really shows up for us every game.

New club records:

Most goals in a season - Abdourahamane Abdou 25b - 18 goals
Most league goals in a season - Abdourahamane Abdou 25b - 16 goals
Most goals in a match - Abdourahamane Abdou 25b - 4 goals

Competitions

• Serie C NOW Girone B (Past Positions) - 4th place for a 2nd year on the bounce, but it felt a lot more assured than last year somehow. I went into the Play-Offs feeling really confident after making the finals last season and I think that was our undoing only just getting through the first 2 rounds by a goal and then being dumped out in the Quarter finals by Perugia. Despite a somewhat disappointing play-off campaign I feel like next year could be the year that we can get promoted as long as the team continues feeling as solid as it has over the 2nd half of the season.
• 
• Coppa Italia Frecciarossa - Won our first cup game of the save this year, that's where it ended though.
• Coppa Italia Lega Pro - The clubs first final under the guidance of Ryan Astley! Some good football and a little bit of luck saw the team get all the way to the final and faced Atalanta U23's but they were too strong turning us over 7-2 over the two legs of the final. The players footed the bill for the supporters who made the finals tickets after the heavy loss.

• The players are really starting to come together now and the performances are showing it with games feeling much more convincing than they have been over the last couple of years, the players are being recognised for this too with Larrarulo and Sabba finishing 1st & 2nd for Serie C/B Player of the Year, as well as both named in the Team of the Season and winning defender and midfielder of the season. The club was given an award for being the best team in the Serie C/B too, so progress is being made for sure!
• 
• Sabba hit double digits for both goals and assists in the league and was head an shoulders above everyone else in my mind, as shown above he was recognised and awarded for this too. Our top Sammarinese performer is academy graduate Matteo Berardi, honestly he didn't set the world alight averaging a little over a 6.7 but he made 25 starts over the season and has improved really rapidly to a point where he is one of the best players at the club looking at his attributes. The only things he needs to improve will come with age as he cuts little mistakes out of his game and becomes more consistent. 

Youth Intake (Preview)

• 
• The intake preview was 'excellent' but the ratings didn't look too excellent to me when that e-mail dropped though in December. I'd have been a little deflated when the players came in April too if it wasn't for the fact the top 2 prospects were Sammarinese, the best of them being Andrea Casadei, the save isn't at a point where there's much to say about the players coming through the academy but I think Casadei will be in the team before he turns 18.

 

Transfers & Finance - Nothing worth looking at on the transfer front. The finances are hopefully starting to balance now with a profit of £18k over the season, I'll keep an eye on it over next season but hopefully it won't become a real issue at any point.

 

Other - The board continued sending me for licenses and gained the Continental A License and started working towards the Continental Pro License.

Tony Pizza at Kerala United FC - Go Hornbills! - Season 2

League Update

The first part of the season started off with a bang, we beat favourites for the title (Churchill Brothers) 4-2 at home. We continued the form for half of the season and were top until the 13th game of the season. 

There were only 20 games this season as there are only 11 teams. This year no one can get relegated (which was nice to know but didn't really matter in the end), and only one team can get promoted.

We then lost the return game to Churchill Brothers and they overtook us in the league, they then won nearly every match after that and we finished a point behind them at the end of the year.

no promotion but we have clearly proven we are better than Kerala FC!

Youth Intake

Another "Excellent" intake promised, and it delivered!

12 out of 16 were described as elite. We had one stand out!

Chhangte Thomas came into the club and everyone agreed he is our new best player! He is rated as our best by the coaches and the season preview section has him in the best 11! 

(I am kind of hoping he gets a move to Europe and we can put in a nice profit % clause in the sale.

Season 2041/42 - Macclesfield FC - Championship

The pattern of promotion every other season is back. The lowest we ever spent on the league table was in 8th position back in round 7 but we generally spent the season in the top two spots then remained 1st from matchday 30. Hopefully we can have a better premier league campaign next year. 

We're still not maxed out in our facilities but did improve our training facilities to be start of the art.  Havent been able to get the board to improve our youth facilities for some reason.  We also had our first Scotland call ups for two of my youngsters but neither of them were given any game time.  I suspect that will happen very soon. 

Spoiler

Youth Preview

The preview is better than the past few years.

Youth Intake

forgot to take a snapshot of the intake but took one of the best prospects. 

Patrick Ejofor 42A is a 178cm with decent starting attributes at only 15. 

Javanne Sucharewycz 42B is a mouthful and hopefully can become a handful on the pitch. Good technically but low determination might not help his cause. 

Ourdy Mbemba 42C looks more of a winger than a front man.

Scotland - 2026/27 - Cinch League 2

Agony For The Blue Brazil as They Miss Out on Play-offs In Final Day Defeat

To be honest, it was crazy we were up there with a chance anyway. In November we were 9th and looking more likely for relegation until a crazy late season run saw us climb the table. With 1 game to go we were third! so we lost it and dropped to 5th, missing out on play offs by 1 point. Bah!

 

Player of the Season

Josh Jack - Striker  The pick of our legacy players with 24 goals this season. Only 1 year left on his contract though and he really isn't happy!

 

Youth

All Cs in the preview again so I think the relatively good intake is more an indictment of the quality of our current squad than anything else

 

Finances

We're bobbing along quite nicely and the good run at the end of the season meant the board were happy to give us another upgrade. woohoo!

 

Career

So far so good. although three dull seasons in the league we're slowly making improvements off it which will hopefully pay off eventually. I might have to throw a few more youth prospects in the starting XI next season which might be a bit risky though

Livorno | Season 2038/39 | Serie A

Miracles don’t happen twice in a row, we started the season with a 3-0 win over Bari but had to wait for the next one until February. A good run (3 wins and 2 draws) in March-April gave us some hope to survive, but it was too late and the final games were all against leaders. Our squad simply didn’t have a Serie A quality and relegated despite a better xG performance. At least we earned enough money to improve our youth setup and probably return stronger in a few years.

Coppa Italia

Was hard to expect a better result amid our record winless run.

Squad stats

 

Transfers – Conte was our first choice center-back for a few seasons, but lost his place to younger players. 

Youth intake (preview)

A.Rosaia *39a | I.Rosaia *39b | Multari *39c | Taglioli *39d | Bertani *39e | Fanciulli *39f | Tani *39g | Maroni *39h

Another excellent intake, hope these players will be able to take us to the next level when we return to Serie A. Our U18 team already reached the national final this year!

We will suffer without this TV contract and attendances, but the money we earned here should be enough for at least two of seasons without promotion.

Jadran Luka Ploče - Season 1 – 2022/23

Finally, a save in Croatia, in the harbor town of Ploče. I dont think i will ever manage a team closer to my hometown, just 20 miles away. In this ave i have decided to use Lee Ingram, the legendary goalkeeper from my Merthyr Town save. He played close to or around 600 apps for the club, captaining it for most of the latter period of the save. The facilities aren’t as good as they were in Bulgaria or Argentina, but they are way better than what they were in Wales. I doubt we will get any major upgrades until further in the save, maybe even Europe. It is a solid team, with 16 players in total. Most of them are balanced in personality. Two of our best players are Ivan Paponja, a 4,5 star Mezzala, and Ivan Raič a 4,5 star FBS. We are lacking a good goalkeeper and depth in central defense, sadly a team carried over from my Deportivo Armenio save. I have started training every wide defender and defensive mid as a central defender to cover that weakness, which could end up even worse in case Raič decides to bounce after his contract expires this season.

I hired David Mance as my HoYD. Attributes aren’t that impressive, apart from working with youngsters. The club had no staff at all, so I signed everyone I could, prioritizing personality over skill.  

In terms of tactics, I switched between a 433, using the same tactic I had on my Chernomorets save, and a 4132, it all depended on the availability of certain players, since I did have 3 first team players who all were 21 and under. There are two very annoying rules in the second division in Croatia. First is that nobody under the age of 17 can play competitive matches. And the second one is that you have to have 3 u21 players to start the match. You can substitute the u21 players at half time and believe me I often did.

We were predicted to finish last, 12^th in the league. Three clubs are getting relegated directly, while, an additional one is in the relegation playoffs. It will be thought. We did start extremely well, winning the first two and only matches in August, earning me a Manager of the Month award. It was a season of many ups and downs. We would go on a six-game streak without defeat, and then a 8 game streak without winning. In the end we finished seventh. It was enough to convince the board to give me another one-year contract. Raič decided to move, he crossed to boarder to Posušje who play in the BH Premier Division, doubling his salary.

The youth intake preview was very promising, stating that we would get at least 5 talented players, including 2 central defenders. But, the intake itself was radically different. We only had 1 elite talent, flanked by 3 top talents – none of them a central defender. Miroslav Karoglan is a hometown kid, maybe a cousin of the former Hajduk manager Mislav. He can play all long the right side. Given our current situation I am developing him as a RB Wingback on Attack.

Our best scorer was Nikola Marić with 11

Ivan Paponja was both our best rated played with 7.12 and most creative player with 6 assists.

Hoping to survive in the second division next season as well. It will be harder without our best defender. Hoping Karoglan improves in the youth team, and we can give him a few games once he turn 17 in April.

[Padders]

Season 111 - 2133/34 - SBC

A better season, finishing in the play offs, 4th.

However, we sat top for months and months and then the goo old bottlejobs came back.

Go from top to 4th with this absolutely dreadful form

Two wins in the last 12, with no win at all in last 6

No surprises we lost the Play Off Semi Finals

So fed up of these bottlejobs, I have sacked the HOYD

Haringey Borough - Review Season 7

After a run to the playoff semifinals last season, we followed it up with another run to the playoff semifinals. This time around, we sat in the playoff positions all season, but needed a win on the final day to punch our ticket. The squad depth has really begun to build out as the team slowly gets older and new youth emerge. Towards the end of this year, Razark Ashimeru 04c notably put in some good performances and rapidly developed his attributes.

 

We couldn't improve on last year's run to the FA trophy finals, but did storm through the FA Cup making it all the way to the 3rd round before losing to Southampton. Would have preferred an away tie for the sweet sweet gate receipts. We beat 2 midtable L1 sides on the way in Salford and Lincoln and looked the part in those games.

 

Top 3 performers:

Spoiler

Didn't actually improve any facilities yet, we're good enough to produce players that can win us promotion and I'd rather save the money right now to 1) keep our players on higher wages and 2) turn professional before L2 if necessary

Got 1.2k to let Smith 02a leave a month early.

It wasn't enough to finish top two

We beat Wolves in the Semi Finals 4-1 on aggregate

Macclesfield FC (England)
Season 13 - 2036/37 - Championship

 

Solid season, where we improved and consolidated our Championship-status.

League (Results 1, Results 2, Cups, League Chart) - Much improved this season. It seems we needed a season to adjust to the increase in quality, but the team has evolved and put in a strong season. There are still 10-12 teams that are much better than us, but in the other games we were
very competitive, often ending the games with much higher xG than the opposition. Squad depth and strength in depth is an issue however. But this is more or less a constant in this challenge.

Team (Details) - I won't go into details on the main group of the team, as they haven't changed much since the last update. I will focus on the players that left and players breaking into the squad. Anthony Coyne - 28H had a fit last season when I wasn't in a position to increase his wages in a
new contract, and wanted to leave at the end of the season when his contract was up. So I sold him to Sheffield United in the Winter window for approx. £3 mio. That is decent considering the circumstances. Luke Dainty took over and finished the season strongly. He is now the main man on left wing.
I also decided to sell Antoni Petrie - 30A as he was complaining about too few opportunities and was really not good enough. He ended up getting relegated to League Two and now wants to leave Cambridge United again. Konstantinos Sokratous broke into midfield and ended up with most assists this season. Impressive.
Henry Asamoah also got some game time. But of the two, Sokratous looks like the best player. On right wing Deane Fradley could in time take over from Connor Muir - 26C who is now 27 years old. Andy Smith came back from many loans, relatively forgotten, but is now our best right back. Gavin Kershaw - 28E had a brilliant season and was the top scorer in the Championship.
I think I have a decent goalkeeper in the future in Mark O'Connor. I am no stats-man, but looking at his value and the fact that he remains a five-star ability player is making me say this.
I almost forgot Bastian Heyer, my Advanced Playmaker. He is apparently our most promising player and potential Premier League standard in the future. I have him on a long contract, but unfortunately it includes a release clause. I have it covered for now by setting an artificially low asking price (not my proudest moment). But I promised to sell him, and I might be forced to do so if the relationship breaks down somewhere in the future or the clause fee is met.

Facilities - The increased income in the Championship enabled me to improve Training and Youth Facilities again (training facilities will be completed later in June). In other news, the board are looking to build a new stadium. That is dubious and poor planning if you ask me, merely six months after a stadium expansion was completed. Our existing stadium Moss Rose can now hold 10.000 spectators and we recorded a new high average attendance for the season.
Furthermore, our Youth Level are now 3 instead of 4.

Finances - The sale of Anthony Coyne - 28H helped a bit. But currently it is the price money/general income (?) at the end of the season that are keeping us financially healthy and able to increase our wage budget as well as develop the facilities.

Youth Intake (Dev. Centre, Preview) - I find it harder to identify good prospects as time goes by and our current players improve. Ernest Adeyemi, Richard Marshall, Livesey Densmore and Stefan Wiström are the most promising players from the intake.

No Transfers In - We sold Anthony Coyne - 38H and Antoni Petrie - 30A. Cameron Bennett - 33A is still in the Arsenal U21s.

Goal for next season: Survive again. Keep developing and improving the squad.

Season 1 - 2024/25 - second division

I appointed Tomislav Butina as our HOYD. I know him because he was a goalkeeper at Club Brugge, he looked right for the job!

This was his first intake preview, looked promising! Some good talents came trough but nothing special.

we had a crazy cup run, by eliminating Lokomotiva, Dinamo Zagreb, Rijeka, three first division clubs. We managed to get to the final (wich is played in two legs?). We won at home 4-2 but at Slaven Belupo we held on to the lead until minute 92... so close

In the league we did very good, we managed to become champions. So back to back promotions for the club.

Next season our goal is to not get relegated!

Usti nad Labem - Czech Second Division - 2024-25 Season

It was a really good first season. We missed the promotion playoffs by 6 points.

 

Transfers:

 

Youth Intake:

 

Next season, with basically the same squad, I'm thinking we could push for promotion. I don't see many of the youth players making a claim in the first team yet but there are a couple that may get minutes.

[Daddy]

Season 7 - 2030/31 - Czechia - Second Division:

I was concerned after two of my best players had release clauses activated right at the start of the season. Things did get dicey at the end and I was worried about blowing the lead we built. However, in the end, it all worked out. 

There is no standout star in this intake, but some quality to add to the club. 

2031/32 Season Preview:

I don't think they fancy my chances much. I played the first two matches and I think the team has a legitimate chance at staying up. I don't think it'll be easy though.

Tony Pizza at Kerala United FC - Go Hornbills! - Season 3

League Update

New season - new format! 14 teams this year instead of 11 (I think it has settled down and this is the end of the transitional phase). 

Incredible start, carrying on the form from last year. by Christmas we were second by 3 points. Delhi (DFC) were unbeaten and looked set for the top spot. We played them at the beginning of January and lost 3-0, now the gap was 6 points. 

However - Delhi (DFC) decided that they didn't want to get promoted and lost the next 8 out of 11 games.

Delhi (DFC) managed to finish 3rd when they were favourites to win, but more importantly, we are going up!

We will be in the Indian Superleague for next year, playing teams who have a lot of money and foreign talent! 

Youth Intake

Very similar to last year - Excellent bunch and one big stand out.

Amit Singh will join Chhangte Thomas as one of our top players now. He doesn't quite fit the tactic but I am sure he can adapt.

Thomas (our amazing guy from last year) almost left us. Kolkata in the super league offered £20k and the board loved it! They accepted and I managed to talk them out of it. Thomas has been a professional and not kicked off and luckily they didn't come back with a bigger bid. He won't stay forever though! 

Domestic Cups

As we finished 2nd last year we made it into the two domestic cups. The Durand cup and Super cup.

The Durand cup we made it to the Quarter Finals, and in the Super Cup we got all the way to the Semi's. The super Cup starts after the league has finished (it gets very confusing here!)

The board seems to keep wanting to upgrade the youth Facilities! I won't complain

Personal

I finally got my first badge, I ask all the time and usually the answer is no because they don't want me to leave! But they let me have one, so it is a start! But Pizza is looking good in the attribute wise anyway.

CSC Ghiroda - SuperLiga - Romania - Season 12 - 2036

One of our new guys from the U19 won this:

So yeah we had a pretty good season!

SuperLiga

We had a weak start into the season with only 1 point after 3 matches, but the further the season progressed, the more we played consistent. We really havent had a lot of matches where our opponent was far better then us. In the end however we lost 2 unnecessary matches and could not qualify for the Champions Group. We missed the qualification because of 1 single point. However, I like the Relegation Group way more. Easier opponents and we still have the chance to go to Europe if we finish in the top 2.

Spoiler

With Hermannstadt and Sepsi we had 2 more easy possible opponents for a European Places Playoff Final. However, we first have to be in the top 2 of the relegation group. But that was way easier then I thought. We played 9 games, won 8 and lost 1 very unlucky against the later relegated Ceahlaul. So we qualified for the European Places Playoffs, where we first have to face the 2nd place of the relegation group UTA Arad.

Spoiler

European Places Playoff Semifinals

We actually beat them 0-2 away from home at the last gameday, so I figuered that it would be kinda easy to beat them at home. But I was wrong. It was a great game, both teams created a lot of chances and I thought that they were a little bit better then us. They found their striker in the middle of the box in the 6th minute who accepted our invitation and scored but we came back just 10 minutes later with the equalizer. Our RW Mijic found our LW Constantin with a beautiful flat cross across the whole field, who then had no problems finishing this one off. After 8 minutes in the second half we got a corner. Our giant CB Puflene wins the header but their GK saves it fantastically, but they couldnt clear the ball and our winger Mijic gets the rebound and scores from 12 meters. Its 2-1 even though they are the better team.. finally the tables have turned  They increased the pressure, but we fought that off well. Then in the 94th minute they gave us space to counter. LW was wide open, he went into a 1 on 1 with the defender, wins it, brings the ball to the far post with a powerfull cross, where Budur stands to finish Arad. 3-1!

Spoiler

European Places Playoff Finals

In the final of the playoffs we usually have to face the 4th place, which would have been FCSB who we beat 2 seasons ago in the semifinals. However they won the cup and are therefore qualified for the Europa League Qualis. So instead we had to face 3rd place. I was hoping for either Sepsi or Arad since all the other top clubs in the Champions Group would have been way to strong. And Hermannstadt surprisingly ended up at 3rd place so we had to face them. That means we have a real chance of winning the finals and qualify for Europe!

This game was just 4 days after the semifinals so they should have a physical advantage. So I decided to cancel training for the last days and just focus on pure recovery. That helped. However our playmaker Trancau, who played very consistent throughout the whole season picked up an injury against Arad and was not ready for the finals. That hurts. 

It was a pretty even match, we had the ball but we somehow couldnt create a lot of chances for our strikers since Hermannstadt covered them up very well. However that gave the rest of the team some room and our LB used this room to take a shot from the edge of the box for the 1-0 lead in the 36th minute. They tried to find a direct answer but our Gegenpress was too effective. I thought that they would have a better fitness then us but it turned out we were the better team in the end of the match. In the 74th minute tough, they got a corner a scored with a powerfull header at the near post. 1-1. Overtime. I was determined to win this game in overtime since we have no good penalty takers. We created a lot of chances but didnt score -> penalty shootout:

We started and to be honest I couldnt watch. I just went away and when I came back they had the last penalty. To my surprise we scored every pen so far and so did they. If they dont score now, we win. My GK Dumitrache was on loan last season in the 3rd league. He had a avg of 7.06 there. This season he was sharing the starting position with my other GK a lot but he ended up winning the first spot. He averaged a godlike 7.10 so far. An absolutely awesome season for him. With this game as the cherry on top. He saves the penalty and after 12 hard seasons we finally made it to europe (eventhough its just the qualifiers for the Conference League but that still counts as Europe ) 

Spoiler

Cupa Romaniei

I feel scamed. We were again in a group with pretty much all of the good teams in Romania. Out of the 3 games we lost 1 and won 2. But in this group 6 points are not enough to advance to the next round. Quick side note: FCSB and Hermannstadt who advanced from our group were both in the cup final.

Spoiler

Youth Intake

Not the best current ability but a lot of good personalities and even our first model citizen!

Spoiler

#1 - Alex Claas - Striker

Already very good technicals but we really need to work on his mentals. Sadly he is one of the few with a bad personality.

Spoiler

 #2 - Alexandru Radu - Right Winger

Very fast for his age, dribbling and off the ball are things we need to work on but I can definetly see him playing in the first squad in a few years. The 3 star potential are little bit worrying to be honest.

Spoiler

#3 - Alexandru Deaconescu - Inverse Wing Back

They tell me he is an attacking midfielder but with a little bit of training in his defensive attributes he might become a very good IWB. He has good passing, acceleration and decent mentals. Realist personality can be very good but also very bad. Lets see how he does.

Spoiler

 

Facilities, Transfers and Finances

We are currently improving our training facilities so after that improvement we only need 2 more to have them maxed out!

Our last years MVP Samuel Giurgiu has been sold. Inter offered 3,5 Mio which is no where near enough for him, but the board accepted it and I couldnt intervene. I got some more transfer offers in for him, all of which were way better then 3,5 Mio. We would have gotten 6 Mio and a 40% Sell On clause from Ac Milan but he decided to go to Inter. So thanks to our fabulous board we lost at least 2,5 Mio in this deal. Im so pissed.

Spoiler

After that I remembered we had a sell on clause on Badeas Transfer. 20% and he was signed from PSG for 6,75 Mio. Then I saw he was about to be transfered to Juventus for 30 Mio. So we would receive around 4,6 Mio. However we could cash the sell on clause in for 5.87 Mio. And we did. So we now have 9 Mio in the bank and made a profit of around 7 Mio this season!

Squad | Transfers | Finances

Another season kinda like the last one, but that's something I'm very happy with. We were also closer to the top two teams this time around, so it's clear we are slowly closing the gap up. We still struggle a lot against Inter Club d'Escaldes, now we have 1 draw and 13 losses so far. FC Santa Coloma are closer to us, but they are also a bit better than us. So we have our work cut out for us to challenge for the top spots. The intake this season was really good too, so I hope we might fight for 2nd next season, but just getting into Europe is key to garner money to improve the club. The money we made from just qualifying for Europe this season allowed us to improve the youth facilities and get some more money into the youth setup, as well as clearing a small debt and still have money in the bank. So continuing to get that money will be the single most important thing.

Copa Constitució Protecvall: We beat FC Santa Coloma and Engordany before we lost to Massana in the semi final.

Europa Conference League: Our first go in Europe was a short one as we lost to Vllaznia of Albania in the 1st qualifying round, but both matches were close. The money was good!

Best players from the academy:

Arturo Tejada 25a - An amazing season on the left wing, with loads of goals and assists. Also got a u21 cap for Andorra.
Sébastien Yongo 27a - You know I love an attacking left back and he did excellent. Another with a u21 cap for Andorra.
Abdourahamane Abdou 25b - The sledgehammer of the team. The attacking fokal point and top scorer. I just wish his physical attributes were overall better.

New club records:

Most goals in a season - Abdourahamane Abdou 25b - 18 goals
Most league goals in a season - Abdourahamane Abdou 25b - 16 goals
Most clean sheets in a season - Sergio Coll - 16 clean sheets

Summary:

[Perre8]

NK Karlovac 1919 - season 2 (2025/26) - first division

The first half of the season is behind us now, it went pretty good, without any problems in the table or in results. Only thing that could be better was the early exit in the cup tournament.

Very excited about our intake after this preview.

Another season kinda like the last one, but that's something I'm very happy with. We were also closer to the top two teams this time around, so it's clear we are slowly closing the gap up. We still struggle a lot against Inter Club d'Escaldes, now we have 1 draw and 13 losses so far. FC Santa Coloma are closer to us, but they are also a bit better than us. So we have our work cut out for us to challenge for the top spots. The intake this season was really good too, so I hope we might fight for 2nd next season, but just getting into Europe is key to garner money to improve the club. The money we made from just qualifying for Europe this season allowed us to improve the youth facilities and get some more money into the youth setup, as well as clearing a small debt and still have money in the bank. So continuing to get that money will be the single most important thing.

Copa Constitució Protecvall: We beat FC Santa Coloma and Engordany before we lost to Massana in the semi final.

Europa Conference League: Our first go in Europe was a short one as we lost to Vllaznia of Albania in the 1st qualifying round, but both matches were close. The money was good!

Best players from the academy:

Arturo Tejada 25a - An amazing season on the left wing, with loads of goals and assists. Also got a u21 cap for Andorra.
Sébastien Yongo 27a - You know I love an attacking left back and he did excellent. Another with a u21 cap for Andorra.
Abdourahamane Abdou 25b - The sledgehammer of the team. The attacking fokal point and top scorer. I just wish his physical attributes were overall better.

New club records:

Most goals in a season - Abdourahamane Abdou 25b - 18 goals
Most league goals in a season - Abdourahamane Abdou 25b - 16 goals
Most clean sheets in a season - Sergio Coll - 16 clean sheets
Worst discipline - Rafael Rama 26h - 5 yellow cards, 1 red card
Most league apps - Miguel Braz - 155 apps
Most league goals - Abdourahamane Abdou 25b - 59 goals
Youngest player - Francisco Costa 29b - 15 years, 111 days
Fastest goal - Fabio Salmerón 26c - 19 seconds

We finally got some improvements accepted with the European money.

Found it on the Steam workshop. Tested it, found a few issues that I fixed and tested it ok again. I think it was the Riddler version, but I tried a few so not sure which one I ended up using. Anyway here it is if you want it.

Seems like your board is not willing to spend. Not much you can do, some times it just pays to wait a bit and try again. Other than that? Make more money!  

Do you have a external source/in game method of seeing a club's catchment area? 

I am trying to find clubs capable of poaching off a large population area w/out getting nipped by big clubs.

Only the youth recruitment of the club.

As per what we have been told by SI:

Quote

Youth Recruitment
The Club’s recruiting of Juniors, those of home and foreign origin.

Producing Newgens
The Clubs with the best Youth Recruitment will generally pick up the best Junior talent from that Nation first, the scale of that talent being determined by the Nation Youth Rating and Game Importance. The lower the Youth Recruitment the further down the pecking order a club will find itself. Two clubs with identical Youth Recruitment will be sorted by Club Reputation. Being lower down this pecking order does not mean quality Newgens cannot be produced, it simply lowers the chances.

Youth Facilities and Junior Coaching then simulate and determine how that Junior progresses in the Club’s Junior system until a Newgen is produced and appears in game. It is at this point that the Current Ability (CA) and Potential Ability (PA) of the newgens are decided. The above factors all contribute to both CA and PA equally.

So the higher the youth recruitmnt the bigger area you are eligible for, it seems. From then on reputation also factors in. But as said, it's not 100%, but the chance is lower closer to clubs with higher YR or equal YR and higher reputation.

Does the population of the area then not come into affect outside from the youth recruitment number? Or is that number simply a reflection of factors like population. 

I was looking at running this kind of challenge with MK Dons (population 300kish), should I worry about Luton (25 kilometers away) competing for my intakes?

Thanks for the help
