Thanks Swaban, glad you have you along again

May 2025 As expected, we're struggling in the league, but we won the State title for the first time since 1995! Elton is scoring plenty too, and I just read that he's supposed to be the next Jairzinho, a World Cup winner for Brazil in 1970 as part of his 81 caps and 33 goals for them. He even managed Gabon from 2003-2005!

April 2025 Through to our first ever State Cup final, and we pick up a point against Palmeiras to get our points total going.

March 2025 Elton once again bullies the lower league teams, but against Gremio we get flogged, which is absolutely not his fault. But it is thanks to him that we're having this superb run of form.

February 2025 It's hard to tell if Elton is legit yet, but he's scored 8 in 3 against lower league opposition. Once we come up against First Division opposition however, we falter like we did against Ceara.

January 2025 I really wish FM had an option to show future fees in brackets, because we only spent about half that up front. We've bought our first newgens as well, and they're excellent. Cerqueira is a U20 international playing the Third Division, Sarahyba in the Fourth Division, and Elton is a huge steal from perennial league contenders Corinthians. Central Defender Fullback Central Midfielder Winger Striker A slow start that's already been ridden with injuries, but as soon as the new signings joined we've had a change in fortunes. But we really should be beating teams 2 divisions below us. Just the generic Gegenpress.

We did our absolute best to bottle it, but we steadied the ship in our final game to get promoted. We're going to the Brasileirão! Best XI Jobert - José Hugo - Fernandinho Record Breakers Award Winners Progress

October 2024 With 5 games to go, we can go within a point of promotion if we win our game in hand against Chapecoense. Then we have 20th, 10th, 12th and 9th. It's a relatively good run home.

2024 Youth Intake Rodrigo 3A* - Gabriel Volpe 3B* - Edney 3C This is pretty disappointing, but it's mainly due to the board refusing to upgrade our coaching because "we have enough youth players, make use of them". Quality over quantity mate, seriously At least we have our first interstate player.

September 2024 That loss to America makes us lose ground, but if we win our game in hand we can be in with a real shout here.

August 2025 Suddenly, we've gone on a 5 game winning streak that puts us within 4 points of the top 3!

July 2024 It looks like we're set for another season of mid table obscurity. Which is fine, we're expected last.

June 2024 Fatigue is hitting us hard so we've dropped some results. But we still have our sights set on the top half, and we can do it.

May 2024 We only lose to the relegated teams this month, and we sit 5th. But it's a slippery slope, as a loss could see us drop as low as 14th.

April 2024 We ended up making the semi of the State Cup before losing to 5 time defending champions Fortaleza, but we get off to a good start in the league after losing to one of the few teams I actually know in Bahia. I also know two other teams that were relegated to the 2nd division for this season in Cruzeiro and Vasco da Gama.

March 2024 Another busy month, but we've been thankfully knocked out of the NE Regional and probably will be in the State champs too. In other news we've finally won our first Brazilian Cup match, and then we won our second! Bring on the matches that actually mean something!

February 2024 A ridiculous 11 games in 28 days, but we're starting to hit our straps as we go through to the next stage of the State Cup and look good to progress in the NE Cup.

January 2024 Only three additions this season, but they're good ones. Central Defender Defensive Midfielder Winger We're dropping results to teams two divisions below us, so I'm treating all of this as a preseason friendly series.

I think because we went on a losing streak the fans stopped coming to see us. That's the only conclusion I can draw!

I have no idea how we stayed up, but we did! Best XI José Hugo - Buzatto - Breno Record Breakers Award Winners Progress

October 2023 We lose to last place and that seems to have triggered a collapse.

2023 Youth Intake Amauri Santos 2A - Vágner 2B - Rogério 2C Three 5* prospects, but given our facilities they're unlikely to reach that potential.

September 2023 Buzatto adds more goals to his tally to go 4 clear at the top of the league charts, as we remain in the top half.

August 2023 A good month where we beat teams below us, and suddenly we're in the top half!

July 2023 Two more additions, but only Wagninho can play as Thassio has made too many appearances in the Second Division for another team. Defensive Midfielder Another mixed month, but survival is the only priority here.
