[Mr Jabay]

Fantastic story so far, I am surely following your progress.

I still have a sweet spot for Luxembourg, as I once managed Käerjéng. I had a great time, only the constantly poor crop of youth intakes had me stop playing more than 10, 15 seasons:)

Thank you @Mr Jabay!! 

I've tried Luxembourg on previous editions and never settled into a save but have done so remarkably well here. Let's hope the future intakes improve for me then.

December 2027 & January 2028

A comfortable win over Una Strassen in the league was followed by a 2-0 loss to Bologna, they were 5th in the league so we didn't expect anything there. Into January and we come back from the winter break against Monaco, a big defeat to the French side in front of a pretty poor attendance. A week later we faced the Hungarian side Ferencvaros, one of the very few sides below us in the table. Looking at their squad they had plenty of good players but we came away from the national stadium with a comfortable 2-0 win thanks to goals from the shadow strikers. 

 

Top by a point in the domestic league and third from bottom in the UEL. 
 

[ToMexico!!]

February 2028

We returned to league action and were in really good form in February. Racing FC humbled on their own patch, we scored five of our seven shots on target but only amassing 2.1xG. A week later Progres visited Estadio do Cents and we defeated them with relative ease in front of 924 spectators. The game was all but over in the first half thanks to Sangare, Benslaiman and Veselcic. We smashed Rosport, 19 shots, nine on target, six goals scored but just 1.89xG. Sangare notched twice more as we beat Jeunesse Esch to make it a clean sweep for the month. 

Four points clear on new challengers Mondord.

March 2028

No Elite talents.

[ToMexico!!]

March 2028

Three games this month and three more wins. Another two goals for Sangare in the 4-1 win over Titus Petange. Rayan Berberi has deputised well in Veselcic's absence through injury, he scored twice to help us beat Jeunesse Canach. A comfortable 2-0 win over Mondercange as we welcomed back Veselcic after a five-week layoff. 

Still just four points clear of Mondorf. 

[ToMexico!!]

April 2028

A busy month. A first half hattrick from Benslaiman again, his third this season I think, against Differdange won us the points. We had the chance to increase our points advantage over Mondorf but we found ourselves 2-0 down but we managed to come back for a share of the points, again thanks to a double from Benslaiman. Mohamed scored twice more against Colmar-Berg in the cup. Goal eight of the month for Benslaiman followed a rare goal and start for van der Ham against Dudelange. A comfortable 3-0 win over Swift with another goal from that man Mohamed. We then faced Wiltz in the cup and then in the league and beat them both times. 

We're now seven points clear at the top. 

[ToMexico!!]

2027/28 Season Review

We've been in really good form towards the end of the season, we pick up another three wins this month and...

League - Predicted 2nd | Finished 1st

A dominant season as seen in the season statistics here. We scored 85 goals and conceded just 22, finishing the season with a plus 63 goal difference. 

Luxembourg Cup - Winners

May also saw the culmination of the Luxembourg Cup, we beat Yellow Boys, Hostert, Colmar-Berg, Wiltz, Una Strassen and ultimately Progres in the final. We did need extra time to win the game however, we look set to win the tie in normal time but Progres struck a late equaliser. The winning goals came through unlikely sources of Meddour (back up CB) and Klisurica (rotation CM). 

Champions League -  We beat Maltese side Hamrun before being beaten by Serbian side Crvena zvezda. We dropped down into UEL Qualifying. 

Europa League - We beat RFS of Latvia and Pyunik of Armenia to reach the league stage. We picked up four points in our eight games, drawing with Samsunspor from Turkey and beating Hungarian side Ferencvaros. 

Top Scorer - Sangare (28) - a much better season from Mahamadou as he notches 28 goals as the lone striker. Although he wants to leave for a bigger club, I've promised to consider any offers that come in for him. 

Most Assists - Fayad (20) - a big season in the heart of midfield for Khalil, just five goals scored but four times as many assists for the French-Moroccan midfielder. 

Average Rating - Mohamed Benslaiman (7.65) - National Division player of the season for his 17 goals and seven assists in the league but he made 40 goal contributions across all competitions.

July 2028

A brilliant July, we dump both Sheriff Tiraspol and Astana out of the Champions League with relative ease. We face Slovakian side Dunajska Streda in the 3rd Qualifying Round. We also open the domestic league season with a convincing 3-0 win over Swift Hesperange. We restricted them to just two shots on goal which happened to be on target also, We created four clear-cut chances with 1.99xG. 

A good start. 

 

[ToMexico!!]

August 2028

What a crazy month. 

We traveled to Slovakia to face Dun. Streda and came away with a 3-2 win, we were 3-0 up but allowed them back into it. A lowkey 1-0 win in the league followed before the return fixture in the UCL, we managed a 1-1 draw to advance to the next round. We were drawn against Rangers and for some reason played the game on the Saturday of the same week, we were duly hammered. A few days later we faced Dudelange in the league and I think the lads got their frustration out on them. 10-2 winners with Sangare (x2), Dardari (x3), Veselcic (x3), Fayed and Benslaiman with the goals. 

A few days later we lost 4-3 at home to Racing FC, 2-0 up to 4-2 down. Again a few days later we faced Rangers at home in the Play-Offs return leg, I didn't expect anything but somehow we managed to win the game 2-1. We ended the month with a 5-5 draw away at Una Strassen. 

Eight games played, 25 goals scored and 19 goals conceded. Value for money. 

3rd after five games is good considering the month we've just had. 

Huge rewards for reaching the playoffs and then dropping into the UEL League stage. 

A tough set of fixtures, we'll target the Qarabag, Ferencvaros and Omonoia games for some possible points.

September 2028

Six new players joined the club for the 2028/29 season. 

• Ruben Antunes Carvalho - Luxembourgish backup striker 
• Aiman Dardari - left German club Mainz at the end of his contract, joins as cover for both MC and AMC. 
• Alexandre Sacras - signed from Progres for £50k to be first choice LB. 
• Fabio Lohei - another left back who left Metz in the summer. 
• William Campos - a £65k signing from Italian side Novara, injured on debut for seven weeks.
• Thomas-Le Desurmont - another to join from Mainz, this time for £50k, will play in CM. 

All of them are Luxembourg natives, we have just seven players not from our home nation. 

One player will join in January, Christian Camara will join from Senegalese academy side CNEPS. 
 

[ToMexico!!]

September 2028

We loved scoring two goals this month. Absolute domination against Fola Esch only for centre-back Ablordy to score both goals. We traveled to Azerbaijan to face Qarabag, 2-1 up until the 93rd minute. A Veselcic masterclass saw us defeat Jeunesse Esch with his two goals. In our second UEL league phase game, we traveled to Hungary and picked up a win thanks to backup striker Carvalho and midfielder Fayad. We ended the month with a poor performance but win against Hostert, Sangare with the double. 

Top of the league. 

[ToMexico!!]

October 2028

Some big wins this month. 6-0 against Kaerjeng, 3-0 against Titus and 5-0 against Canach in the league then 5-1 and 6-1 in the cup but the standout result of the month is the 2-2 draw against Napoli in the UEL. We had just three shots on goal and scored both that were on target, Napoli had 23 shots with 12 on target and created 3.49xG. 

A five-point gap after just over a third of the season gone.

I didn't even notice that. They were relegated the season before to the National de Honour, so bounced back quickly but I'm not sure why they were predicted favourites. They spent £10k on players and most of them weren't any good. They finished 8th last season and are predicted to finish in 2nd place.

Yeah it is kinda weird, I believe they're normally one of the better sides in the league so it was probably a surprise to see them go down (although the league champions that year might've been a bigger surprise, no offence, although this could turn into a Ludogorets situation)

Yeah them along with Progres, Differdange, and Dudelange are the bigger clubs in the league in real life. 

Now we've won the league a few times, it won't stop unless we have an injury crisis/a huge run of poor form/another team gets a tycoon takeover. 

[ToMexico!!]

November 2028

A narrow loss to Dinamo in the UEL, they took their chance in the 84th minute to win the game. We then won a game by a narrow margin, 1-0 over Progress although we had 29 shots, 12 on target and created 3.27xG, Progres on the other hand had two shots and just one on target. We welcomed German side Hertha Berlin across the border and it went as well as I expected, a 4-0 loss. A poor score draw against Wiltz, possibly a knock-on effect from loss to Hertha, a pretty even game with the home side having the better opportunities to score. A weeks rest and we traveled to Mondercange to win fairly comfortably, we were 3-0 up, conceded twice and Cathal Heffernan netted a fourth. 

Six points clear of Jeunesse Esch, a further four ahead of 3rd to 5th.

The only time I've actually seen a big dog get relegated in any league was in Saudi Arabia and most people probably know whats going on there

[ToMexico!!]

December 2028 & January 2029

A big win over Mondorf in the league ended the domestic season before the winter break. We also faced Cypriot side Omonoia in the UEL. We dominated the game for just two shots on target, thankfully one of which we took through Dardari. After the winter break, we traveled the few hundred miles to Lille and lost 2-0, we actually had more shots on target than they did but they had the better chances. We ended the UEL League Phase with a win over Braga of Portugal, we dominated the game, 20 shots and eight on target compared to their seven and four on target, we were deserving of the win. 

We'll return to the domestic league with a nine-point cushion over 2nd place. 

We finished the UEL League Phase in 18th place above the likes of Feyernoord, Athletic Bilbao, Hertha Berlin, Stuttgart and Dynamo Kyiv. We now face Sporting Portugal in the Knock Out Playoff Round. 

Two more players joined in January, first to arrive was Sergio Monge from Costa Rican side Limon FC. He will offer some more depth in the AMC slot but is here primarily to improve and be sold. The other player to join was Rayan Perin on loan, I didn't think we needed another goalkeeper but we nearly had a mutiny on our hands as a team leader felt we needed another and the whole squad agreed. He'll be sat on the bench. 

 

[ToMexico!!]

February 2029

We're absolutely flying in the league at the moment, four games this month with four wins without conceding. 20 goals were scored with Dardari scoring six of them. 

11 points clear with a huge goal difference with 11 games remaining. 

A comfortable loss against Sporting CP in the UEL Knock Out Playoffs. I'm really happy with our progression in this competition this season. 

 

[ToMexico!!]

March 2029

We need more upgrades but the owner/chairman is reluctant. 

A really poor crop of players but I am loving the nationalities represented here. Indian again, Cape Verde, USA and a couple of half-Greeks. 

Spoiler

[ToMexico!!]

March 2029

Another good month with four wins from the four games but a little disappointing to have only collected two clean sheets. We creating so many goalscoring opportunities at the moment, we've had 85 shots on goal this month with 44 of those on target and amassing just 12.29xG but scored 19 goals from it. 

The supposed top sides are just not coping with life in Luxembourg at the moment. Differdange are 9th, Fola Esch are 10th, Dudelange are 12th and Progres are 13th. 

[ToMexico!!]

April 2029

Finally two more upgrades.

Swift Hesperange/Hesperingen are the club taken over by dubious "Sugar Daddy" Flavio Becca in 2019 after he stopped sinking his money into F91 Dudelange/Düdelingen (his former "toy").
Becca was heavily invested with german lower League side 1. FC Kaiserslautern, too.

 

So, basically Hesperange are in Luxembourg what PSG are in France (although the financial gap between them and the other clubs in the league isn't as huge as it is in France, admittedly.)

 

About the relegation and instant bounce-back:

Depending on the database you use such things are rather to be expected in Luxembourg.

Most clubs are semi-professional at best, in 2nd tier ("Eirepromotion") you may even find a couple pure amateur sides.

They rarely hand out "real" contracts but often resort to appearance fees and the like.

That means that a side may field an entire different First Eleven after every transfer period.

And since Hesperange has a lot of money (due to Becca if he's present in your database), they may just have signed tons of star players after their promotion....

 

Regarding your save:

You keep impressing me, pretty much becoming THE dominant side in Luxembourg within just a couple of seasons.

Congrats!

Thanks, @LowestLeagueHero for the info. Its always welcome. 

Swift's real-life situation doesn't mirror in game anymore but probably more likely due to the basic information provided in the league file which was in line with adding the leagues only. Yeah, the prediction for them to winners a season or so ago was probably more related to their reputation at the time but looking at it they only have a 1.5* reputation now.

Personally, we've been able to leap ahead of most of the other teams due to being able to manually scout for players and pick up some decent amateur options from Belgium and the Netherlands. Then progress quite rapidly in Europe season-on-season. 

We need the academy to start producing a few more players for us, there was an initial burst but as we've improved the squad with the players coming in the PA has dropped off a cliff. We have both excellent junior coaching and youth recruitment as things stand. 

[ToMexico!!]

April 2029

The good form continued in April but a far more low-scoring month. 

We disappointingly dropped points against Jeunesse Canach but then beat them in the cup a few days later. During this month we have achieved a new record...

We've surpassed the previous record of 100 which was set by Swift Hesperange. 

We're champions already, the table has one game from May in it. 

[ToMexico!!]

May 2029

Our first poached player, which in my eyes says we're doing something right. The recent junior coaching improvements have triggered the right level of CA/PA players to be poached. I'm delighted that he is also going to a foreign club. 

[ToMexico!!]

2028/29 Season Review

A winning end to the month with three solid wins. 

League - Predicted 1st | Finished 1st

Heavy favourites for the league title after just five seasons in the save. We were pretty imperious, we finished 17 points clear of 2nd place with just one loss and three draws suffered in the 30 games. We scored 113 goals at 3.77 per game and conceded just 25 at 0.83 per game. We're currently on a 26-game unbeaten run having lost to Racing FC back in August. 

Luxembourg Cup - Winners - we beat Bettembourg, Medernach, Jeunesse Esch, Jeunesse Canach and Wiltz on route to the final where we beat Mondercange. 

Champions League - Lost in Play-Offs

A really good qualifying campaign, we beat Sheriff Tiraspol, Astana and Dun. Streda on route to reaching the playoffs where we were bettered by Rangers. 

Europa League - Lost in Knock-Out Play-Offs

A good start to the league phase beating Ferencvaros and picking up draws against Qarabag and Napoli. We later went on to beat Omonoia and surprisingly Braga, both 1-0. We finished 18th in the league phase which meant a knock-out playoff where we faced Sporting CP, we were no match for the Portuguese side, losing 4-0 on aggregate. 

Top Scorer - Mahamadou Sangare (36) - 52 games for the lone frontman this season and he scored 36 goals with 28 of those coming in the league to see him finish as the top scorer. Unfortunately, he wants to leave, exploring his options at the end of his contract. 

Most Assists - Aiman Dardari (17) - we rotated our midfield four a fair bit through the course of the season. We actually had six players finish the season double figures for assists with a further four achieving eight or nine. 

Average Rating - Sergio Monge (7.75) - a January signing so maybe not a true reflection but the young Costa Rican played in 22 games, scoring 10 times and making nine assists. 

We've made good improvements off the pitch this season, with upgrades to both the training and youth facilities along with increases to the junior coaching and youth recruitment, which have culminated in our first player being poached. 

[ToMexico!!]

June 2029

We are now the most reputable side in Luxembourg.

[ToMexico!!]

July 2029

We went into the first leg against Shamrock a little undercooked, we'd played a couple of friendlies to try and build some fitness but we also lacked players. Sangare (ST) left to join Troyes and Prosche (CB) left to return to Germany with Hallescher, coupled with another two players leaving on free transfers we felt a bit light. 

We offered very little going forward, creating more chances than our Irish counterparts but less on target, a drab 0-0 draw. A week later we were a little bit better off fitness-wise, we rested most of the first XI in the friendly between games and we improved. Costa Rican international Sergio Monge netted his first of the season along with an assist for one of the other goals, a routine 3-0 win. We faced Swiss side Young Boys in the 2nd Qualifying Round and I expected that to be the end of the road for us in the UCL. 17 shots, 10 on target, and three clear-cut chances with 3.26xG we bullied them, 3-0 up at halftime through the shadow strikers, new signing Ignacio capped of a superb result with his first goal in a Luxembourg City shirt. In the return leg in Switzerland, it was a different kettle of fish, the home side dominated the game and ran out 2-0 winners, our goalkeeper Luciano, another new signing earning the top rating for us whilst making 11 saves from the 13 shots he faced on his goal. 

We face Ferencvaros in the 3rd Qualifying Round. 

[ToMexico!!]

August 2029

A decent start to the league campaign with four wins from four games. We battered Mondorf for just three goals, 12 shots on target with four clear-cut chances for us in that game with Seth Yeboah scoring his first league goal as a new signing. Against Schifflange, we restricted them to just two shots on goal of which both were off target, Monge and Desurmont both claiming a goal and an assist. Another game where the opposition didn't have a shot on target but we didn't play much better against Racing FC, scoring just once. We went behind against Una Strassen but came back through Monge and Ignacio. 

The only unbeaten side remaining. 

Ferencvaros were just too good for us in the first leg in Hungary, they were clinical and 2-0 after six minutes and added a 3rd just after half-time. We made a fight of it in the return leg but the away goal from them killed the tie off. We dropped down into the UEL Play-Offs once more and faced Slovakian side Trnava, a comfortable 3-0 away win all but sent us through whilst we drew 1-1 at home with a slightly rotated side in the home leg. 

Some big sides in here, Tottenham and Sporting CP namely, I think we can get some points against HJK and maybe a couple of draws with Crvena zvezda and Brondby. 

[ToMexico!!]

September 2029

The transfer window has closed and we've signed five players to strengthen the squad. 

Eldin Dzogovic is a Luxembourg international and was released by German side Wiesbaden, he joins as a rotational player for RB. We then triggered the release clause of Spanish striker Ignacio from lower league side La Nucia, I was looking for a quick striker who could stretch the defence to allow more space for the Shadow Strikers to work in. We were then recommended Luciano, an 18-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper who's release clause was just £8,250 from Sergpipe, we had to agree a £65k release clause in his new contract but we'll get rid of the as soon as possible.

Having lost a German defender in the summer, we paid the release clause of £63k for Malte Schulwitz from Meppen. He slots straight in alongside Irish centre-back Heffernan. Last to join was another striker, Seth Yeboah who was on an amateur contract at Portuguese non-league side Grijo. 

[ToMexico!!]

September 2029

The board rejected my request to improve the training facilities. 

[ToMexico!!]

September 2029

Another four wins from four league games this month. We needed a stooping header from the big Irish lad Heffernan to defeat Differdange in the opening game of the month. A comfortable win over Rosport saw us collect our fourth clean sheet in six games. Two goals in a minute for Veselcic helped us to a 4-0 win over Progres, the home side had one shot which was off target all game. We rested the whole first XI for a week by accident so we rotated heavily and Aiman Dardari profited with a hattrick to down Jeunesse Esch. 

We're top with eight wins from eight, whilst Progres are bottom with eight losses from eight. 

A solid start in the UEL League Phase. A good draw at home to Genk from across the border. We picked up our first win in the league largely thanks to Seth Yeboah who scored twice and assisted both goals for Monge against Crvena zvezda. 

Early days. 

[ToMexico!!]

October 2029

Another month of green in the domestic competitions. Veselcic keeps on scoring goals despite being the poorest player attribute-wise in the AMC positions, his two goals against Mondercange and two more against Titus Petange means he has now scored 150 goals for us since the beginning of the save. A near fully rotated side smashed eight past lower league Schieren in the Luxembourg Cup. Seth Yeboah also leading the line well for the club, two more goals against Fola Esch means he has scored nine league goals in eight games. 

11 from 11, pretty imperious form. Progres finally managed to get off the mark with a draw against Differdange. 

Just one UEL game this month against Finnish side HJK. A comfortable 3-0 win with Yeboah scoring another double. 

Mixing it with the big boys of the league phase. 

[ToMexico!!]

November 2029

Not sure what has gone on here...

We lost 2-1 despite scoring twice and the first image shows we were 2-1 up at half-time. 

[ToMexico!!]

November 2029

Only three domestic games this month. A rotated side put five past Etzella Ettlebruck in the Luxembourg Cup. Ignacio moaned about game time so I stuck him in against Dudelange and he scored four, a new club record for goals in a match. We rotated to a degree again for the Wiltz match and it kind of showed with us only scoring three goals. 

A nice 10-point gap has opened up over Wiltz who are in second place at the moment. 

Ignoring the Braga result as that's not right. A close game at home to Spurs, we scored one of our two clear-cut chances. 

We drop down to 16th but we're still ahead of the likes of Real Sociedad, Toulouse, Brighton, West Ham, Galatasaray and Wolfsburg. 

[ToMexico!!]

December 2029

[ToMexico!!]

December 2029

We end the calendar year on a pretty cautious note in the league. We fell behind against Rumelange before Monge equalised but Veselcic was sent off in the same minute also, Ignacio came on to rescue us late on. We rotated slightly for the Jeunesse Canach game, in came Jose Carlos from the youth team and he scored his first National Division goal and Yeboah bagged a brace. 

 

A clean sweep for the first half of the season and 12 points clear of Una Strassen in second. 

We targeted this game for a point before the league phase commenced, we got that point but the added fact was that Brondby were top of the league going into the game. 

We drop again down to 20th, we face Sturm Graz (28th) and Sporting (19th) in the remaining games in January. 

[ToMexico!!]

January 2030

We're into the thirties and we're back after a shortened winter break with the UEL League Phase to finish. 

Two defeats finish our continental season, we had taken the lead against the Austrian's but were quickly behind, Camara have us some chance but we couldn't capatilise to get a draw. It was going to be a difficult ask to get anything against Sporting, the Portuguese side needing a win on the outside chance of qualifying automatically if results went their way. 

One more point would have seen us qualify for the Knock Out Play-Offs. 

[ToMexico!!]

February 2030

The National Division returns and we pick up we left off, winning ways! What a month for Veselcic and Yeboah; four goals for the former and seven for the latter. 

15 points clear and still not dropped a point. 

[ToMexico!!]

One elite talent this season in Joao Nunes. I like the look of him, good finishing, technique, first touch along with flair, decisions and a good physical start. 

A pretty mixed set of personalities, two Chinese players and a new second nationality in Mali.
