Try Azzuri Lausanne . They get Italian regens in Switzerland , you need the database with 4 tiers in Suisse. My mate @Perre8is having a good save with them.  Or a youth only in an African league?

Where can I find that db? Very interested in that challenge!

Yeah, it's something I've been thinking of, but I'm afraid to leave too much space, since I am a poor team after all. But it's on my list of possible changes.

If you change your RB to an IWB he can cover the space that's left open by the MEZ

My second season in Norway is done.

 

After the promotion of last season I expected a really hard fight to stay up. However it turned out to be way better than expected. Halfway the campaign we were even in the battle for second place. However, in the last 10 matches or so we collapsed and ended up on place eight. Still, I should be happy with this results if you look at the quality of my players.

Last part of the competition:

Three of the youth players made their debut with AML Orre, CM Smith and CD Skalmeras. I also put them in the starting eleven for the last match as we had no more chance to reach the play offs. The Youth coaching and youth recruitment were improved during the season. However, the preview looks really bad. (Also 2 players were poached this season).

Had a great first season in Norway. We took the second place on the last day of the competition because Fredrikstad lost their game. The first round of the play offs were pretty easy, but the final was a thriller. We won the 1st leg 1-0. In the second leg we went 1-0 down and hit the woodwork 5 times. Luckily we won the penalty shootout to get promoted. The youth intake before the season was pretty much useless except for some good personalities. The youth intake before the upcoming season was a little better with a central defender and a midfielder who might feature in the first time some day. I hired a HOYD before the season and his personality affected the intake positively. After the promotion the board agreed to improve both Youth Recruitment and Youth Coaching, let's hope this improves the future intakes.

Started this challenge in Norway.

John Carew played youth football at Lorenskog and is born and raised there. Therefor I decided to make him the manager. It was fun to find out one of their 'star' players is a big strong targetman!

Can you have a look at Morioka (Charleroi). He's been playing as a more defensive minded midfielder in the last years, excelling mostly in his positioning and passing. I don't think this is reflected in his FM stats.
