Table | Squad | Transfers Similar season to so many others where the team started in indifferent form, packed up midway and ended poorly with 4 points from the last 7 games. I thought the team had been unlucky in the early season where they dominated matches creating loads but not getting results due to poor finishing and defending. I was surprised to get a message after the season that the club had set a new club record for least goals, looking at the stats the team was about midway in the league for shots, in the bottom third for chances and 2nd from bottom for conversion. The defense was the 2nd best in the league. Finances stayed the same as there are no changes to the club, although the first team is getting a bit full as the team has no reserve team. Lai and Keymer were again the best players. The youth preview promised much and the intake was underwhelming. Larson was the best which isn't saying much. Lucas is a triple national.

Yes you right about RL managers doing the same, i've seen several in action at my own club

Good work on documenting how the AI does things. I would also add that the AI concentrates on CA both when making transfers in and when picking the squad, it seems to ignore (or not take into account) players with higher PA who if played could improve. It also undervalues players when selling them for the same reason. Human players and indeed RL managers would simply not work like this.

2030 Table | Transfers | Squad Shambles of a season were the team started poorly, improved a bit and ended with just 6 points from the last 10 games. The strikers could not score and left to to the midfielders and the CB's and GK had shockers in every game not matter who played. Not entered in the Swedish cup (entry is based on area and rep, i have worked out there are 3 spots in the area and 5 teams in the area with much higher rep than mine and another 3 in the top 2 divisions which don't count for the 1st rd). Finances improved due to this windfall but the board are still refusing every request i make. Messaoudi was sold as i felt that some of the youth players were at a similar standard even though he had played 125 games with 25 goals and was club captain and favored personnel. Lai was the top scorer from CM and best player, Noren played a number of games and showed promise. Keymer scored his 50th goal and became top scorer. Youth preview and intake are a waste of time since my staff cant separate them in any way in terms of potential. Andersson, Holgersson and Tahiri look the best.

well done on the dominant season, impressed that fan favorite Ally McCoist is still around to pass comment

2029 Table | Squad | Transfers Started the season in reasonable form before a 6 game winless streak followed by a 6 game winning streak. This put the team within 3 points of the playoffs with 7 games to go but only 1 win meant they were resigned to midtable mediocrity again. Swedish cup was a non event again. Finances remain the same as the crowds cover the wages and the board will not increase staff or facilities. Messaoudi was the highest rated player. Keymer missed 3 months through injury but Strom stepped up well in his absence. Athanasiou is rated really poorly by my staff but seems able to do a job. The youth preview never really says much but this intake did give some players with CA very close to the first team. Berisha, Nilsson, Babatunde are all playing at LW in my formation which is a annoyance. Khalil also looks useful.

i was going to comment about Mihaljevic not gaining any positions but you beat me to it. My guess is he has really low adaptability, has he learnt any english or struggling?

2027 Had a lot of crashes and BSOD recently and i seem to have lost the screenshots for this season. I could have just put up last seasons as there is little change with the team finishing in mid table without troubling promotion or relegation unduly, could not score enough although had the best defence with 29 conceded. Characterized by conceding 13 penalties and hitting the woodwork 21 times in the 26 games. Not entered in the Swedish cup. Finances stayed pretty stable, the youth intake was reasonable with a lot of 5 star potential but no standout players. Keymer and Lai were the standout players on the pitch even if not close to having the best ability. 2028 Table | Squad | Transfers Started the season really badly and was struggling in the bottom 3 teams, at halfway the team had conceded the same as in the whole of the previous season and created less than half the number of chances of the next worst team. Tweaked the tactics for the 2nd half of the season which improved the results and general play from the team to avoid relegation. Still not entered in the Swedish cup, i think the club rep is too low. Finances stayed the same. Keymer was the top scorer and is close to being the club record scorer. Lai also played well again after missing 3 months of the season. Warmlov left after 79 apps with 8 goals. The preview was again promising, the intake itself was my best yet as some of the players had better CA and there were a lot of good personalities. Mustafa looks good although i already have 4 decent LB at that level or better. Norden and Johansson were the other 2 decent players.

you really are taking it into the future - is the Earth still around

Looks like the formation and management of the players is wrong. Kubala is described as world class and has the attributes for a creative player but has almost no goals or assists in his time at Tulibody.

I see that Rangers and Celtic are rising to the top again, been a while since that last happened. Tulibody are beginning to struggle, are they picking any youth players at all or even producing any decent ones?

2026 Table | Squad | Transfers Was in reasonable form for the early part of the season although there were too many draws when the team was on top. After 17 games the team was just outside the promotion spots but a poor finish saw the team drop off. Not entered into the swedish cup. Finances remain roughly the same. Arvidsson left at the end of the season after getting upset at the lack of depth in the squad which will be a loss as he had good physical ability in midfield. Warmlov had a good season even if a bit limited as a player. Keymer came into the team when my strikers failed in the first couple games and ended as the top scorer for the team. Youth preview was good as was the intake but i'm sceptical of it as its unlikely that all the players are that good (forgot to get a picture but all but 2 had 5 star potential). 5 stars potential is good enough for 3rd division according to my ass man when the team is in the 2nd! Svensson, Cerbone and Magnusson look the best.

@resurectedja Daci looks a beast in the air, should win most headers. Cannot remember the last time i saw a player with 19 for heading and never a youth player, normally its very low heading ability when generated.

2025 Table | Squad | Transfers Started the season a bit tentatively but really powered on in the 2nd half of the season to finish comfortably in the top half. In spite of a small squad did not have too many injuries or suspensions but struggled for goals with no decent striker, defensively the team was good with the most clean sheets in the league. Not entered in the swedish cup. Finances did not deteriorate too much due to high attendances. I squeezed a small increase in junior coaching from the board. Jensen, Messaoudi and Arvidsson were my better players this year. My best player unfortunately left at the end of the season which was a blow as he could have improved a bit. Both the youth preview and the intake looked good although this is more a reflection of the lack of ability in the squad. Abdirahman, Pettersson and Gustafsson look the most likely to make an impact in the next season.

@skills when youths get paoched they take 1-4 seasons to actually come through in hte game and be visible. Usually i only notice when i see a 5% sell-on in transfer clauses
