Sheriff7 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 (edited) Hallo everyone! Back on with a fresh story! INTRODUCTION NATION https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malta CLUB https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valletta_F.C. https://vallettafc.net/ NATIONAL TEAM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malta_national_football_team https://mfa.com.mt/ MANAGER https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Mifsud SET UP Malta,major European leagues as playable and Portugal, Scotland,USA,Australia as View only because we have some players playing there. IN GAME CLUB WELCOME CLUB INFO HISTORY RECORDS FANBASE NATIONAL TEAM WELCOME NATION INFO RECORDS MANAGER PROFILE *******Some thoughts about this save. First off all Maltese Premier has a few games (just 26) and since my fm time reduced in last year (i became a father) this was very important for me. Also i always sympathized Valleta fc, Malta's most successful team ever is far away from titles for some years now and this season they relegated to second division! (next season Malta will be the only European nation without a club from the capital in first tier!). Another important reason for this fm story is my huge respect about legendary Michael Mifsud, i remember him scoring against ManU with Coventry City and against Greece with tiny Malta! Obviously this will be my last fm24 save and i really want to continue it to fm25 also. Have fun! Edited May 23 by Sheriff7 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteinkelssonFM Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 When reading the intro, I was kind of hoping the guy with the glasses (Mifsud) would be the fictional manager. He looks like some bad ass mafioso! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gowerNCFC Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Good luck mate! Just into season 4 with Balzan - won the league first 3 seasons and into the champions league group stage season 3. The foreign rules are quite lenient if you're using a similar database (14 in the squad and 9 in the match day at anytime). Valetta have fallen off a cliff in my save, lower mid table now and hovering around the relegation play offs. Once you turn pro, the league is a breeze 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jogo Bonito Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 I work with Michael Mifsud here in Malta. Unfortunately it's not THAT one but just a common name The league isn't great quality but that doesn't mean you can't do something good with Valletta. That view of the 'Valletta dome' is visible for me across the water from Sliema after a five minute walk from home! Good luck with this, I'll be watching with interest. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheriff7 Posted May 27 Author Share Posted May 27 (edited) SEASON 2023/2024 JULY/AUGUST 2023 SEASON EXPECTATIONS TRANFERS Last 5 came after Mifsud's hiring. Bridgman is a young Maltese (born in England) who played for Portsmouth in past. J. Haber has huge experience and will be our back up keeper and Prekodravac came in the last days of August to give us more depth. MOST IMPORTANT SIGNS Joe Muscat has big experience from English lower divisions and is International with Maltese national team. Dellavalle came on loan in the last day of August because our best center back had a serious injury. He looks very promising. SQUAD AND PLAN Maltese Premier rules (14 foreign players in squad list and 9 in match squad). I am quite happy withour roster. If we found something "excellent" at free agents market maybe we could make 1 or 2 more moves. TACTIC FRIENDLY GAMES A very good pre season. Only from strong Serie B side Palermo we lost. BANK OF VALLETA PREMIER LEAGUE SEASON ODDS 7th favourite. MATCHDAY 1&2 An excellent start for Mifsud and Valleta. We smashed Sta Lucia and won league favourites Hamrun in their home!

No it isn't the same Michael Mifsud that I work with, it is just a common name haha. In fact most of the names here just seem to be the same small number repeated often (like Borg too as an example). The 'real' one is a true football legend around Malta though, you got that right (slim pickings). Good to see your progress with Valletta going well and that you are picking up 'new Maltese' for the National Team too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheriff7 Posted June 30 Author Share Posted June 30 (edited) SEASON 2025/2026 JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2025 LAST SEASON REVIEW & EUROPEN COEFFICIENTS As last season review was out we made a huge dive in European coefficients as club.Maltese Premier won 1 place. DEALS SEASON EXPECTATIONS We are already in CL 1st qualifier... TRANSFERS Feratovic loss was huge. He wanted to explore his options but he had already signed a pre contract with Clermont foot (France) since December... IN Joseph and Paul Mbong are brothers and Maltese Internationals. Bonz came to replace Feratovic. R.Vella, Aljofree and Liatsikouras came to give us more depth. STAFF NEW ASSMAN Also we have a new AssMan. Last one left us to be Sta Lucia new Manager. SQUAD AND TACTICAL PLANER We still look for another central midfielder. TACTICS SHEDULE A small but good pre season. A draw in strong friendly against Crvena Zvezda. EUROPE CL FIRST QUILIFIER DRAW AND MATCHDAY 1-2 Probably the most difficult draw we could have. With no newcomers (Maltese transfer window opens 15th of July) we hadn't any chance. At least we gave a good battle in both games. ECL SECOND QUILIFIER DRAW AND MATCHDAY 1-2 We were unlucky in this draw too but in field we were the best team and qualified! With a clear win in our home and an away draw we send Bate back to Belarus! THIRD QUILIFIER DRAW AND MATCHDAY 1-2 Well... I didn't expect this!Of course they were a much better draw from Bate but we smashed them! 11-3(!) on aggregate and we are one step before league stage round! PLAY OF ROUND DRAW AND MATCHDAY 1-2 Our battle against KR of Iceland was more close but again we were the better team. A draw in Valleta and a huge away win send us in league stage round for first time in our history! Also we are the first Maltese club who made it! INFO Great! LEAGUE STAGE ROUND DRAW & SHEDULE We are going to enjoy it! VALLETA PREMIER LEAGUE SEASON ODDS Of course we are hot favourite to retain league title. LEAGUE TABLE (AFTER MATCHDAY 1) With huge rotation (this game was between our European battle against KR) we won local derby against Sliema. OTHER NEWS INJURIES Huge disappointment for Attard. He injured in game against Bate and will lost almost all season. J.Mbong also injured for some weeks. FINANCES Beautiful.

New sponsor money look very good for Maltese level, too bad it won't work for me. Yes Tuma is a good talent, best used as a central striker in my opinion as he has decent strength and great pace. The sponsorship money will hopefully push the local game on, and the inclusion of the Maltese Falcon is a nice touch. BOV have been very strong supporters of the game here though, it is a shame to see them no longer headlining. Yes, shame for you that money won't filter through!

I can't remember something similar in my saves all these years! DEALS Huge difference in our commercial summary also! SEASON EXPECTATIONS PRE SEASON TRANSFERS 3 out-3 in. Sow departure was a huge loss, he scored 60 (!) goals in 2 years for us! C.Attard wanted to leave because he was a bench choice for us and this offer from the Portuguese club came in the correct time. Zammit will take more playing time at Qrendi. IN 3 excellent choices for replacements. Sacha became the first ever player which we paid his club to sign. STAFF Many changes in our staffroom also. NEW ASSMAN STAFFROOM SQUAD AND TACTICAL PLANER TACTICS SHEDULE A small but good pre season. EUROPE CL FIRST QUILIFIER DRAW AND MATCHDAY 1-2 Drita was our first opponent for CL and we past them easily with two W. AEK Athens from Greece is our next opponent! CL SECOND QUILIFIER DRAW AND MATCHDAY 1-2 The biggest win in our history! Against a giant compared to us we were amazing and eliminate them!As an Olympiakos fan you can imagine my feelings. INFO 1 HIGHLIGHTS A powerful strike from Montebelo in the last minutes of the first game gave us the important draw. A smart header from Sacha send us to the sky! INFO 2 RECORD THIRD QUILIFIER DRAW AND MATCHDAY 1-2 We lost huge chance against Qarabag. We took the lead two times in the second game (in the last minutes of the 90 and in extra time) but our defense couldn't hold. In penalty shootout we lost the only penalty (A.Gomez) and we are out. EL PLAY OF ROUND DRAW AND MATCHDAY 1-2 Against Legia we gave a good battle but they were the best team here. ECL LEAGUE STAGE ROUND DRAW & SHEDULE A very interesting draw for the league stage round. VALLETA PREMIER LEAGUE SEASON ODDS LEAGUE TABLE (AFTER MATCHDAY 1) Too early of course. We won Marsa easily and with huge rotation. OTHER NEWS MANAGER OFFER Huge offer for Mifsud in the start of the summer but this isn't the correct time to leave. INJURIES We had many injury problems at this space.

Our best player Teuma (Reims) is out with injury Aidan Vella(Valleta fc) replaced him.Our best strike Cardona mutual terminate his contract with Augsburg and is without a club. MATCHDAY1&2 We deserved the W against Lithuania and if we had Teuma healthy we would have won it.Against Montenegro we played very well but a late goal cost us this defeat. MATCHDAY 3&4 A heavy away defeat from Armenia (we didn't deserved this scoreline though). Better against Montenegro back in Malta but we lost again. Lithuania grabbed 2 more points and we are in last place.

MATCHDAY 5-6 2 excellent results. Against Lithuania we were unlucky and left behind the score twice but with a great try we took the away draw. Against Armenia i really don't have words for my players, from 0-2 we turn it to a historical 4-2 smash! Montenegro with 2 late goals secure our place to Division C.
