mschafer13 Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Cipolletti 2027/28 After 4 years of middle ground, we're finally going up! It was a hard fought season, we were predicted to finish 32nd out of 37 teams s Had a great run in the fall and another in the spring (after a bad winter) and made the playoffs as the 7th team (top 8 make the playoffs). Our defense finally stepped up and we didn't let in more than 1 goal every playoff match and won easily enough. Youth intake wasn't very good, so we're definitely going to struggle in the top league next season, but we'll see what happens! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron_Swanson Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago I'm really tempted by England slog as a side quest, but I'm undecided between standard vanilla way of VNN/VNS or using a tier 10 database from another challenges topic (as I did in FM22) and pick last team from one of divisions. What do you think? Will the second option count for the YAC? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skora11 Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago RC Jaen Season 32/33 I was right about things starting to look up, as we continued the great run of form we ad in the previous two seasons into our first season of the Spanish Second Division. I would have been glad just to avoid relegation but we went well beyond what was expected. We had an absolutely unbelievable season and manged to get in to the play-off positions and we were only 4 games away from the big time. Unfortunately the boys fell short, but they have proven themselves to be more than ready for the challenge ahead. The intake for the year looks reasonable, with Martin looking to have the potential to break through in a few seasons, unfortunately Budzynski's determination and personality will probably prevent him from ever fulfilling his potential. Hopefully we have a few seasons consolidating in the Second division before making a push for La Liga. The challenge now looks like there is real potential it can be completed some day. We really could be doing with getting a 'superstar' through the academy though, as while there have been plenty solid intakes, no absolute standout as of yet. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpm2342 Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Crewe United 2041 Season Update Season 17 Update: Another successful season where we finished 3rd. Getting closer to Glentoran, but a ways to go to catch Linfield who dominate the league. Got enough money in Europe to basically break even for the season. Now it's just patience and luck to wait for the squad to improve/results to go our way and make it to the league phase of Europa to get money to spend on the facilities, Transfers: Spoiler Youth Candidates: The streak is alive and well with another "golden generation" that is 17 in a row, every season so far. Some good potentials, but nobody to slot into the senior squad, so I am going to try putting them all in the u18 squad and see how they develop. Fair lack of ambition in this intake, with some work to do on the better players. Squad Update: Here is how the squad is rated heading into next season. This was the season for a nice improvement from Graham who was out on loan and developed enough to step into the lineup. Still managing to hold onto most of the good players, likely because they are still National league level and not on the radar of the bigger English teams, yet... The squad rating improve 0.6 rating points again this past season. Our second 11 is almost the same rating as the first 11 which will help a lot with all the matches we have to deal with.

What do you think? Will the second option count for the YAC? Why don’t you do the 10 tier but only have 9 playable that way you can play a team previously unplayable that come up from tier 10? Would still have an asterisk next to the HoF entry if completed though as it’s not vanilla, which is where I’d be with my attempt in Scotland playing 1 level down from vanilla.

Ya, I tend to do just above 8 for praise and below 6 for warning so it isn't as much "work". If things are rolling I won't bother at all 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the club gets bigger reputation wise I start warning them under 6.50 and only praise over 9.00 as standards rise, but at the beginning of such a save under 6.00 and over 7.75 for me 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCola1 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Brora Rangers - Season 4 - Cinch League 2 (Scotland) Update: In the last season I finished one place out of the promotion playoff. This season I barely escaped the relegation playoff. I took it to the last game of the season, and was down 0-2 during halftime, but a goal in the 84th minute by a newly signed youth candidate put me in 8th (out of 10). For the upcoming season I decided to go for a high-line, possession tactic. My old center back just retired, and now I replace him with a repurposed full back with great speed. I had a good crop in youth intake, so hopefully I can turn it around. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Gato_In_Goal Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Sociedad Deportivo Quito - Youth Intake and Youth Review Season 6 Frustrating poor intake given the investment we've put into facilities and the last straw for our HOYD with more less than stellar personalities at the top. Will look to find a HOYD with maybe worse stats, but a Perfectionist or Model Citizen personality. Class of 2024 Alvarez 01a seems to have hit his PA and is a Good LigaPro Serie A player. Castillo 01b didn't develop on loan for 2 seasons, will try to loan again and likely release him at the end of the season. Batioja 01c - Released Briones 01d seems to have hit his PA and is a Good LigaPro Serie A player. Ayovi 01e kicked up a fuss about leaving early in the season, but got over himself and we locked him down to a long-term deal. Started to get bids from Spanish/Portuguese clubs, but we turned them down and convinced him that he's a leader in the locker room. He is a Star LigaPro Serie A player that may have some PA left, but probably is at his cap. Mantilla 01f also kicked up a fuss, also got over it and I will offer him a new deal once the agent allows me to take the release clause out (he still has 3 years on the current one). He was convinced to spurn Porto after we told his he was a key locker room leader. He is also a Star LigaPro Serie A player who might have some more PA to develop into. Has made 2 caps for Ecuador now and scored 2 goals. Class of 2025 Jimenez 02a is the backup keeper. I tend to ruin backup keeper careers and his is no different. He is a Leading Ascenso Nacional player with LigaPro Serie A potential he likely won't reach. Garcia 02b developed well as a rotation option this season. He is now a Decent LigaPro Serie A player with room to grow. Garcia 02c played so poorly in the first team that we had to loan him out to try to salvage his career. Hopefully he will develop from being a Leading Ascenso Nacional player to his LigaPro Serie A potential. Macias 02d lost his starting role midway through the season (and his Professional personality), but continued to develop. Worried that he's stagnated at his PA cap, but no complaints if he's only a Good LigaPro Serie A player. Class of 2026 Arce 03a developed a bit, but we are very deep at RWB so loaned him out for the coming season as he's turned 18. Is a Leading Ascenso Nacional player with LigaPro Serie A potential. Loor 03b performed decent last season and developed a little so he will continue to be a rotation option as a Decent Liga Pro Serie A player. Estupinan 03c didn't develop much, but performed well in his minutes so will continue to be our backup RWB despite being a Leading Ascenso Nacional player. Valencia 03d has fallen behind and we are looking to give him a loan as he's 18 now. Is a Leading Ascenso Nacional player. Carabali 03e started to develop last season, but didn't play well in his minutes. We loaned him out this season to the second tier (like most of the others). He is a Leading Ascenso Nacional player. Mendez 03f deputized well for Ayovi 01e when he got hurt at the start of the season. Earned his backup spot and is a Decent LigaPro Serie B player. Valarezo 03g came on strong in the second half and took a starting spot in the first team. Is up to a Decent LigaPro Serie A player and has a good personality and PA to fill. Pineda 03h improved from 3* potential to 5* accoridng to my staff and has made the most of regular first team minutes. Nearly set the league record for shutouts this season and is now a Good LigaPro Serie A player Class of 2027 (These guys hang out in the youth team and don't develop unless otherwise stated) Russell 04a Zambrano 04b earned a first team call up when Garcia 02c disappointed, but didn't get much playing time. Has a great personality and solid attributes, so once he begins to develop we could be forced to switch to a 2 man system up top. Orellana 04c Valencia 04d Mina 04e Mero 04f looks like he could be one to watch with his physical attributes. Bolanos 04g Zambrano 04h Class of 2028 (These guys hang out in the youth team and don't develop unless otherwise stated) Naula 05a Valencia 05b Castillo 05c Vaca 05d Mina 05e is developing well and may earn a call up this season Saavedra 05f looks like he could be one to watch with his physical attributes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
