Makoto Nakamura Posted October 23, 2023 Author Share Posted October 23, 2023 August 2027 The busy months roll back in and it's looking very unlikely that we'll qualify for next season's Champions League from wehre we are now! Trips to Australia & South Korea again but this time North Korea is swapped with Indonesia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted October 23, 2023 Author Share Posted October 23, 2023 September 2027 We're really beginning to falter now, thankfully there's just six games remaining in the league, and already our points high of 68 wouldn't be enough for 4th place this season.

sherwinriga Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 It's finally time! I'm surprised that you became the first SI Community user to do a J.League save, which is stupendous that you have done that so quickly even the beta just getting started! Also, I'm a fan of majority of the clubs in Tokai region including Azul Claro Numazu, who have an interesting sponsorship with Love Live! Sunshine!! last year, which I'm also a big fan of Love Live! series since 2019! The other clubs that I loved were Shimizu S-Pulse, Jubilo Iwata, Fujieda MYFC, Nagoya Grampus and Veertien Mie (JFL). The other clubs other than Tokai were Cerezo Osaka, Avispa Fukuoka, Giravanz Kitakyushu, Yokohama FC and Criacao Shinjuku (JFL). I'll expect for a bigger high hopes for you once the full experience FM24 will be out in two weeks to ensure that I'll be following your journeys for more! Other than great, what a wonderful work that will make Azul Claro and Aqours fans proud! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted October 23, 2023 Author Share Posted October 23, 2023 2027 End of Season Review Turns out we'd've needed 82 points to finish in our regular 4th pace which is a bit out of our reach after a grueling season! We have retained the Emperor's Cup though after a big win over Sanfrecce Hiroshima which means we will still get Champions League football!

Makoto Nakamura Posted October 23, 2023 Author Share Posted October 23, 2023 2028 Pre-Season Tragic, a decent pre-season but losing another Super Cup and an awful result in the Champions League! 2-0 up and crusiing until the 88th minute and then we go 4-2 up to still go and lose it on away goals!

Makoto Nakamura Posted October 23, 2023 Author Share Posted October 23, 2023 June 2028 A month almost entirely of away matches as we exit the Emperor's Cup at the first hurdle which means we need to finish top 3/4 to qualify for the 2029 Champions LEague, and as we're already 11-13 points behind these sides, I don't see it happening!

It's certainly much nicer managing here now than on previous FM's! It's one of the biggest nations on the continent and there's no dominant sides with there being 4 different winners in the six years of the save which will keep things exciting longer term. I do think this will just be my BETA save though before moving onto a Youth Only challenge. I would definitely recommend Japan! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
