Thebaker Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 2029 (season 5) Table | Squad | Transfers Made a good start to the season and was just behind Stocksund after 14 games but then suffered a total loss of form only winning 2 of the next 9 to completely fall out of the promotion picture. Played youth players in the last 3 games to get them some playing time. Faced Hammerby's reserve team Hammerby TFF in the 1st rd of the swedish cup but was well beaten 2-3 at home with a low crowd as well. Finances continue to fall although the board did agree to get a reserve team which might help with player progression. I turned down 13K for Davidson in the hope of getting more which may have been a mistake. Maholli is old and past his best but still very effective, none of my other strikers seem able to score at all. Davidson is not rated at all and has no great sttributes but still performs really well. Got rid at the end of the season many of the backup legacy players who performed only average to give more youth players games. The youth preview was again excellent which is a surprise considering the clubs level and facilities, that could also be a reflection on the players ability as well. The actual intake was again good for potential and low on current ability. Kahraman and Berglind were the pick of the intake.

HaylingZar Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Anyone know why I can't request an upgrade to my Youth Facilities? It has been at the same level for 6 years now. I've been checking the board request every few weeks for the past 6 years and the option to request improvements has never appeared. We have over £300M in the bank so it can't be due to lack of funds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't put an emphasis on developing youth, then they will cap how much you can improve youth facilities no matter how much money you have or how high your club's reputation is. The only fix is waiting for a new chairperson to come around and hoping they value youth more. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ron_Swanson Posted June 10 Popular Post Share Posted June 10 Stal Stalowa Wola - Poland - PKO Ekstraklasa - season 3 - 2026/27 Michalski and Borkowski seems like a best fit at the moment, but I think they will stay in u19s most of the time. We even got a Colombian newgen but he's pure rubbish We safely stay in top division although first half of the season was tough. I'm not happy with my DC's, they all performed horrible - that's what my HoYD should be focused on. My offensive youngsters on the other hand did well, Kaczmarczyk and Kieliszek became regular starters and they don't dissapoint. The board is quite open for upgrades, both junior coaching and recruitment. We got them increased at the begining of the season and later after last game when all the bonuses and prizes filled our bank account. Soon we should be amongst top teams in Poland when it comes to facilities 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post darren1983 Posted June 10 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 10 Season 2025/26 Vanarama National League Review League - After promotion the aim was just to stay up which we more than did. A very up and down season really, we got a couple of hammerings along the way (especially away from home) but were never really in danger of being involved in the relegation battle. According to the xG table we underperformed but not by much in the end (at one point we were 12th but according to that table we should have been 3rd) and ended pretty much where we should have done in 10th place. FA Cup - Lost out just before the first round which was annoying FA Trophy - made it through a few rounds but our small squad struggled with the extra games so not the worst to go out when we did Transfers - none in or out Squad - Still very small and got smaller by our main man right winger Anthony Jeffery retired in March after he picked up a ACL injury. I did though give fairly significant game time to several of last seasons intake (infact all 4 players tagged last year each played double figures in terms of games this season) mainly as we again suffered injury issues Youth Intake - The Preview had me hopeful and the resulting intake was pretty solid. Sadly the personalities are not the best but did get some nice nationalities to balance it out. Aaron Green 26A - Mills scored 29 goals this season (after getting 50 last year) but he's 34 so we really need a striker to come through. He's small but I'm hopeful. Made his debut off the bench in the final game of the season Tim Locke 26B - A CB that can tackle but can't head? In this FM? Imagine my shock. Looks alright though and we can train his heading Paul Gaynor 26C - With Jeffery retiring another winger is nice. Fast but not a great deal else Vaughn Hadland 26D - Always nice to have a keeper Career Overview Season League Position Junior Coaching Youth Recruitment Notes 2024/25 VNLS 1st Good Average Promotion, Manager of the year 2025/26 VNL 10th Adequate Above Average First coaching badge We also, for some reason, are building a new stadium costing us 70k a month in loans which we can't really afford.

Popular Post naterr Posted June 10 Popular Post Share Posted June 10 Tony Pizza at Kerala United FC - Go Hornbills! - Season 6 Our preseason cup run this year wasn't the best - we managed to get to the QF but lost to Goa. We were the better side but just couldn't finish our dinner on this occasion. Super League This year it has been an up and down season - full of good and bad points. The good - we managed to do the double over Kolkata who are the reigning champs. the bad - we lost to many crap teams who we outplayed, and also with a lot of our youth playing in the U18/U21 etc for India, we lost them for certain games. This made it pretty tough all round! We did make it into the playoffs which was nice. We easily got to the Semi Final where we played Mumbai, we lost the first game but pulled it level in the return fixture. Late into extra time they had run out of steam and we managed to get! Line ups below! Spoiler We got the perfect start, a goal within 10 minutes. Unfortunately they showed their quality and were all over us, they pegged us back by half time and it stayed level until extra time (again!) This time round it was our legs that went, we had a few suspensions too which didn't help and we lose 2-1 Youth Intake Ah lovely - time for the new recruits! The preview was mixed - Excellent intake but the best we could hope for was a D rating in the wide areas.. Turns out it was pretty Excellent in the end. Saha is the standout - his determination/teamwork/work rate could be really useful, resolute personality too....so maybe he has high potential??? Super Cup The players must have been on a high since the final of the Super League and they took that good form into the cup - another final to look forward to! Line ups Below! Spoiler Another final - another similar story...Similar but not the same! We score first again, a really nice football, we were like the Indian Barcelona of it's prime, quick passes and a lovely finish. Then we gave away a penalty! They converted and into extra time we go. Luckily we weren't as tired this time but neither team could get a winner. Penalties it was. And..WE WON!!! Their keeper missed the deciding penalty by blasting it over the bar, happy days! Our first cup win, hopefully with more to come! PS. look at my little manager! It always makes me laugh to see him on the sideline, I have been waiting for a cup win to show him off :D. Also, he has an eye patch but as he is so short it hovers over his head like a Halo! Team of the Year Madhu again standing out - need to keep him somehow. Next year's team Our new DM will ft in nicely, but we still really need someone in the wingback roles - and maybe a better keeper! If only we could buy some.... Our lovely chairman agreed to increase youth facilities - I didn't realise it was going to cost us £1.4m!!! we are now broke! 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RCola1 Posted June 10 Popular Post Share Posted June 10 Northern Ireland, Donegal Celtic - Season 5 In the last season, I finished one place out of the relegation spot, but this year I was able to win the league. Although I got a "golden generation" last year, I used almost the same squad except for the keeper. He was the highest rated prospect, but I was a little unsure about using him because he has an eccentricity rating above 15. He is amazing, especially at saving penalties. He saved 3/7 PKs this year. Lets see if I can get through Level 2 quickly (and avoid getting relegated. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Winski Posted June 11 Popular Post Share Posted June 11 (edited) FK Rača Bratislava Season review Season 4 | 2027-2028 Niké liga Transfers | Affiliates | Facilities | | Finances | Manager Profile | Club overview Another fantastic season for us. For the third time in a row we finished 3rd in the League, which is the highest we can get at this time. Slovan Bratislava and Dunajská Streda are really another level at the moment. But it's nice to see that we are 'the best of the rest'. And for the second time in a row we qualified for the Europa Conference League We also had a fantastic Cup run. We managed to get into the Final, where we met our rivals Slovan Bratislava. But we lost 2-0. In 14 matches we never won against them. We only drew 4 times, and lost the other matches. Europe We didn't qualify for the League stage, but had a good qualification run. In the Second Q. Round we won against Vaduz. In the Third Q. Round we played against Maccabi tel-Aviv. We lost 1-3 away, so I thought our adventure was over. But we won 6-0(!) at home. In the Fourth Q. Round we met Aris Limassol. We won 3-2 away, so I had good hopes to qualify for the next round. But we lost 0-5 at home.... So our adventure was over. But the money we gained was very, very welcome and we used it very wisely. Most notable players There were several players who were important for us this season. I'll highlight some of them. Peter Lukac 24c: our MVP, with 37 goals in total, and 5 assists. He is so important for us! I hope I can keep this guy at our club for as long as possible. He now scored 81 league goals in 116 matches in his career. Matej Ruzicka: Our captain. With 14 goals and 11 assists Ruzicka was again very important for us. Marcel Ujlaky 25a: With 20 goals and 13 assists he had a fantastic season. Lukac 24c and Ujlaky 25a find eachother very easily up front. Tomas Kovac 27a: This youngster came into the first team when he became 16 year old, and he didn't dissapoint. He is developing into a great midfielder for us. Juraj Bobček 27b: a special shoutout to him. He only played 17 matches, but that's only because of the rules in Slovakia. Youngsters can play when they become 16 years old. This guy was doing a good job in our youth team, and I decided to put him into the first team when he became 16. I think he will be our DC for the years to come. Youth intake The preview was very, very promising with lots of A's. And the intake itself was fantastic. No less then 10 Elite Talents, and some of them are looking very promising! Dusan Kralovic 28e looks like our DC and our captain for many years to come. Spoiler U19 For the first time in this save our U19 team played competitive matches. And they didn't dissapoint! They finished 4th in the U19 league. Upgrades With the European money I was able to upgrade our Training- and Youth facilities again. And after the league was finished, the board decided to build a new stadium! It's unsure when it will be finished, but the future looks bright for our club. According to our Facilities-tab the stadium will be 7200 seats big. So that's way more then our current stadium (4500).

Neo_Geo Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 That sucks @Padders I don't know where you find the will to continue after that many seasons (I struggle to get into double figures at times), its truly remarkable. Seeing how your save is going is one of the reasons I've never stuck with an English save, super long seasons and if things don't quite go your way you get stuck in this rut.

Popular Post JAwtunes Posted June 11 Popular Post Share Posted June 11 (edited) Guinea-Bissau FM24 - Bijagós Futebol Clube - Season 1 I have parked Afrika in Iceland again and am giving Africa a whirl for the first time. It looks like the continent has a traditional top 4 (Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria) with South Africa becoming a stronger nation over the past few decades to make it more of a top 5 now. That said, there is much more competition in Africa than in Europe, so its not uncommon to see clubs from other nations winning or reaching the final / semi-final. Our Ground - I think this is the first time I have played on a sand pitch and its nice to see it represented in game. Spoiler Domestic Performances In terms of club status and reputation, Bijagós Futebol Clube ended the season ranked as the 31st highest reputation team in Guinea-Bissau, with a local reputation of 0.5 stars. This marks a slight reduction from the previous season, but the club still managed to achieve significant milestones. In the domestic league, competing in the 2ª Divisão, Bijagós FC finished in 1st place and secured promotion on the final day of the season. Bijagós FC did not participate in the cup, being one of the lower-ranked teams in the second division. Players The fans' player of the year was Ansu Fernandes [46], who impressed with a Sofascore rating of 7.50. The 18-year-old, hailing from Bafatá, Guinea-Bissau, wore shirt number 9 and played primarily as an attacking midfielder or striker. Known for his speed and attacking prowess, Fernandes featured in 18 games, demonstrating his potential as a future star. Spoiler Sulayman Camara [43] stood out as the top performer, achieving a remarkable Sofascore rating of 7.98. At just 16 years old, Camara, from Brikama, Gambia, led the team with 16 goals in 14 appearances. His strength in heading and aerial duels made him a formidable striker, proving crucial to the team's success. Following closely was Ansu Fernandes [46], whose contributions as an attacking midfielder and striker earned him a Sofascore rating of 7.50. His speed and agility added a dynamic edge to the team's offense. The third top performer was Úmaro Baldé [41], who achieved a Sofascore rating of 7.37. The 16-year-old from Bubaque, Guinea-Bissau, played as a midfielder and attacking midfielder, utilizing his speed to create numerous opportunities for the team. Spoiler Spoiler Sulayman Camara [43] also emerged as the top goalscorer for Bijagós FC. His 16 goals in all competitions showcased his scoring prowess and consistency. Úmaro Baldé [41] distinguished himself as the top assister, providing 9 assists in 18 appearances. His ability to support the attack with precise passes and quick runs was invaluable to the team. Youth Intake The youth intake this season was rated an impressive 4.5 out of 5. The number of players in the Elite, Top, and Good categories were 13, 3, and 0, respectively. This promising influx of young talent bodes well for the future of Bijagós FC. Spoiler Among the top U18 prospects, Adilson Silva 25a [51] emerged as a promising young full-back. At 16 years old, the Bubaque-born player demonstrated strong abilities in team play, ground duels, passing, shooting, and aerial duels. Edmilson Dabó 25b [39], another 16-year-old from Bubaque, showed potential as a young winger, with notable strengths in team play. Braima Gomes 25c [42], a 15-year-old winger from Bubaque, impressed with his speed. Lamine Seck 25d [42], a 15-year-old midfielder from Diourbel, Senegal, exhibited excellent passing and shooting skills. Lassana Vaz 25e [42], a 15-year-old winger from Bubaque, showcased remarkable speed and potential as a future star. Spoiler Finances Financially, Bijagós FC faced some challenges this season. The club ended with a balance of £6,283, having lost about £20,000 over the course of the season. This financial strain underscores the need for careful management and strategic planning as the club moves forward. Around the World In the realm of continental football, the CAF Champions League saw Pyramids triumph over ES Tunis in the final, which ended 1-1 on aggregate. Pyramids clinched their first victory in the competition by winning the penalty shootout. On the national stage across Africa, several teams emerged victorious in their respective leagues. In Egypt, Al-Ahly secured their 12th title in the Egyptian Nile League. In Morocco, RS Berkane celebrated their first title in the Botola Pro. ES Tunis continued their dominance in Tunisia, winning their 34th title in the Ligue Professionnelle 1. Algeria saw Paradou AC claim their first title in the Ligue Professionnelle 1 Mobilis. In South Africa, Mamelodi Sundowns continued their impressive run, securing their 17th title in the DSTV Premiership.

Is there a way of getting a team promoted two tiers down possible? Is it advancing two seasons? Or is it more complicated than that. At first thought was thinking of Aviron Bayonnais. Sadly Mexico and Korea is still a no.. In France it is possible to get Bayonne i think. If you can get them into 4th tier, because after that you can save scum them into 3rd tier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubwub Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 It's been awhile since I've booted FM24. I have my old save but I kind of still want to stay in South America. Let's see what happens in Chile otherwise I might go to Europe and take my talents to Croatia. I'm simming both countries, Chile and Croatia. We will see. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Makoto Nakamura Posted June 12 Popular Post Share Posted June 12 2032/33 End of Season Review Another good showing in the league with a 4th placed finish! Unreal! A perfect group stage against Abahani KC (D) from Bangladesh, Victory from Maldives and Macchindra FC from Nepal sent us through to face fellow Indian side Bengaluru in the South Asian Final where I expected our run to come to an abrupt end, but we came out with two clean sheets and through to the Interzone where we faced Kowloon City from Hong Kong, three goals in the second half of the away leg meant we were still in with a good chance for the home leg where we rather easily dispatched of them 7-4 on aggregate! This meant we were through to face Indonesian side Persib where we lost the home leg conceding four giving us a lot to do in the away leg....which we managed to score the tie winning goal with practically the last kick of the game sending us through to face Syrian side Tishreen in the Final! A 50th minute red card definitely helped our cause and despite our 57th minute own goal we managed to score three more ourselves after this sealing our first ever continental cup win! The first time of having an intake with no 'A' rated players. But despite that we get a 4.5* CA rated player coming through! Shame he's only 5'7".

Popular Post OlivierL Posted June 12 Popular Post Share Posted June 12 New Star de Douala - Review - Season 1 - 2024/2025 Season Preview | Competitions| Honours Cameroonian Elite Two: We reached the promotion playoffs quite comfortable. In the playoffs, we won all our matches and with only 11 players, I was still able to get promoted immediately Cameroonian Cup: We managed to reach the final by defeating some elite one teams. The final was lost in a crazy match after extra time. i was still leading 3 1 in the 94th minute, with two late goals from second-tier Djiko FC, we had to play extra time. There I got another lead but unfortunately it was over after that. I had to miss two first team central defenders. As a result, I missed out on first continental qualification and big prize. The cup matches follow after the league and after the youth intake. That will be interesting to test and fit in some youth players U20: no competition First XI| Overall Best XI| Transfers| Youth Intake 2025 I started with eleven players but after the intake of april i promoted all of the 16 academy graduates to the first team and used some of them alread in the cup games.Next season i will have 27 players if nobody leaves Atangana was one of the key players and involved in 21 goals in 23 games. Namatchoua 24A was the only academy player from the start and he had a very good season with 18 goals. Finances & Upgrades Profile Club | Finances | Facilities Nation Watch BINGO Spoiler Next Season Happy with my first season but we should have won the cup and played Continental football next season. Ambition for season two is to test all of the 16 academy players and i hope to replace some of those players with the next class of academy graduates in april. Finishing in the championship group in elite one (top four) is our dream, not getting relegated is what we have to do in season. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SkiIIs Posted June 13 Popular Post Share Posted June 13 (edited) Season 2029 - Versport FC - J3 League The year started off with a bit of a wake up call, not on the pitch but off it. One of our better midfield prospects was signed on a free contract as he was only given a youth contract from last years intake. I was only given 84k in compensation so I'll definitely be giving full time professional contracts from now on. Season started ok but not great and it was obvious early on that everyone else was playing for second as Kanazawa were clearly better than the rest of us. As the season wore on and the players from last years intake were finally settled, we finally hit some form and with 11 games remaining we went on a 9 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss run that clinched promotion on the last day. Kudos to Kagoshima Utd who went on some run at the end as well and pushed us all the way. In the last 20 games, they won 15, drew 4 and loss 1. Thankfully for us, their start of the season wasnt great. Finally after 6 seasons of getting close, we are going up to J2 League and its come at a good time as finances were not sustainable in this league, making significant losses. Youth Preview a lovely preview Youth Intake an even lovelier intake! Daiki Miyamoto is my pick of the bunch even tho my coaches rated him as third. A versatile midfielder with a great touch, passing and technique. Hopefully he can build on his physicals Bit controversial, but Naotaka Osaki 29I is my second best prospect, more out of necessity as i lack in good wingers. Good personality should see him develop quicker than others and will get game time next season Third pick is also controversial, but Shota Sasaki 29L comes in at a good time as my ageing centre backs need replacing. Love a good personality, this fella should also get lots of game time next season Edited June 13 by SkiIIs 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Daddy Posted June 13 Popular Post Share Posted June 13 Season 12 - 2035/36 - Czechia - First Division: Was never really close to catching Sparta Prague, but was a fun race for the remaining Champions League spot. Our depth is finally stabilizing a bit, so now we're playing with fewer "Second Division" level players. Our keeper took a big step forward, and I have him locked up for the new four seasons. Other than the one sale to Southampton, mostly all loans or trimming the fat a bit. $2M was an underpay, but he had six months left and I got a 35% profit clause for a player whose value jumped to 74-112M. I don't like when we get raided en masse, but one big sale a season or huge clause triggering keeps us in the black for years with max facilities and getting lots of coaches. Another deep with potential intake. Bonus is the diversity of positions too. 2036/37 Season Preview: With the congestion of adding European competitions, I don't expect a repeat of second place. However, I am expecting our depth players' continued development into more starting-caliber players and the season to end in the Champions Group and fighting for Europe. 2036 European Summer Adventure: Feyenoord was a tough draw, but I was holding out hope that we could hang. I wasn't expecting to get past them comfortably. I had no delusions of grandeur after getting Roma, and then we won fairly cleanly at home 1-0. The second tie was 3-0 at the half and I was just happy to end with that score. I'm extremely happy with how we played, and it gives me confidence for how we'll do in the Europa League. Regensburg immediately jumped out to me. I'm not sure what happened in real life before the game time, so maybe there was a "tycoon" takeover and investment. There's nothing in the game that stands out in the club landmarks. This just appears to be a club that slowly built up through the pyramid. Regarding the draw, I'm hopeful to be in the hunt for a top 8. I'll be ambitious. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo_Geo Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Excellent season there @Daddy, great to see you were able to stem the outward flow and it’s now got you the second champions league spot Now it’s just a case of building towards overthrowing Sparta, pretty much where I am in Northern Ireland now trying to do the same with Linfield 10 seasons in. Do you get beaten consistently by Sparta or are you managing to take points off them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thebaker Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Table | Squad | Transfers Started the season ok before going into a losing streak to fall away, picked up with an 8 game unbeaten run to be in the top 4 before another poor run meant the team finished barely in the top half. The main problem this season was goals as the team was 3rd for chances but bottom for shots on target and conversion rate, the team needs a top striker. Not entered in the swedish cup. Finances continue to sink, i have realised the club is losing money every time they play as not enough fans turn up to break even. No one really excelled this season although Davidson and Jonsson were the best performers. The youth intake preview was my best yet so the intake was a bit disappointing even though it was called excellent. Lindgren was the best although i feel that Kadric could also be an improtant player for me. The u19's won their league and were promoted which might help their development. Wiktorsson became the first youth player to make 50 apps with 13 starts, 5 goals and 6 assists, although he has not improved at all in spite of this playing time and i will probably look to play others this season.

Popular Post Winski Posted June 13 Popular Post Share Posted June 13 FK Rača Bratislava Season review Season 5 | 2028-2029 Niké liga Transfers | Affiliates | Facilities | | Finances | Manager Profile | Club overview What a season!!! We finished 2nd in the league, our highest finish ever. We could even had won the title, but it wasn't to be. But we were very, very close this season! Dun. Strada became champions. And for the first time since 2014/2015 Slovan Bratislava didn't finish in the top 2. And as Dun. Strada also won the Cup this season, the Europa League-ticket (for the Cup-win) goes to the number 2 in the League: Raca Bratislava!! So we are playing Europa League football next season! And for the first time in my career, we managed to win against Slovan Bratislava. Finally, after 16 matches without a win against them, we were finally able to beat them. It shows also the growth of our team. At the start of the season I decided to give our most talented youngsters a chance in the first team. I thought it would be a transition year, but it was the opposite. We played better then ever, our youngsters are developing into very good players for us. And we finished 2nd in the League. It became a fantastic season. In the Cup we lost in the Qtr Finals against Trencin. Europe Well, I can be very short this time. We lost in the Second Q. Round against St. Mirren. So after just one round our European adventure was over this season. But the money we gained was very welcome, and we invested it into our facilities once again. Most notable players Well, I think it's time that you meet our starting eleven. So I'll show you a screenshot of the players who started in most of the matches. Our topscorer was, again, Peter Lukac 24c with 25 goals in total. And as you can see, we only got 4 original players in our first team. As far as I can foresee it for now, this players will also figure next season as my starters. GK Rene Zakech DR Milan Sekera DC Dusan Kralovic 28e DC Juraj Bobček 27b DL Robert Horny 24g MC Matej Ruzicka MC Juraj Stefanka MC Tomas Kovac 27a SC Marcel Ujlaky 25a SC Marian Sluka 27e SC Peter Lukac 24c Youth intake The intake was a bit less spectaculair then 2028, but still a good intake. I'm mostly happy with that GK, but also Kiss 29b looks like a very decent talent, although I'm worried about his determination. Spoiler U19 Our U19 team became champions of the highest youth league! Really impressive, in only their second season. Upgrades Well, with the sponsoring money and the European money we were able to upgrade our Youth Recruitment twice. We were also able to upgrade our Training Facilities. It's getting better and better At the end of the season we got the news that the building of a new stadium got green light! I'll have to wait for two more years, but then we get a new stadium, with a capacity of 7200. It's not very big, but it's more then we currently have. And it will be the 7th stadium of Slovakia, so it's not that bad. And some other news this season: we had a takeover. But the new owner didn't invest any money into the club.
