    Transfer History

    Well that was close to an upset. Nearly in J1. Guess we need to wait a bit longer. Hopefully next year as we are getting stronger. We are losing a load of money though so i'm getting a bit worried we might need to sell soon. Only 1,1mln in red due to the upcoming stadium. But at this rate we will be bancrupt soon. We are getting offers for KANADA our Youth Wing back. Highest was 1,2mln from J1. Hope to get around 2 mln. Than we need to sell as we need the money to stay afloat. YAMADA (in my mind pronounced "yo motha") broke into first team and stayed there. He grew into 3,5 stars this season. But seems he hit his ceiling. Still dude is the motor of our midfield with amazing physical stats. KINOSHITA saw alot of first team play due to injuries and rose to 3 stars. Really I see first team play imporves youth extreamly fast. Or my players just do not have that high ability hehe.

    Cups we just keep getting J1 teams fast so no luck...and This years play-offs we beat Matsumoto and Machida...but broke against J1 Consadole Sapporo. Maybe for the better as I still do not feel we are ready for J1. We need better defense and Goaly to come in. Hope to be ready within 2 seasons...we will see.

    Lost Play-offs Final for J1

    Tradition by now, we lose our AM.

    Too bad, love his first name as it reminds me of my favorite cartoon when I was a child.

     

    YASUDA intake 2027

    Hmm  I think we have something here. And our first foreign player! A brazilian too. Must be as I have Tulio Tanaka as U-18 Manager.

    Daiki TANAKA. The best of the bunch. 3 stars already. and his potential did not go down once in the team. His ifnishing is alreadt great. Technique is amazing. Works hard. Once his physical start to grow he will be amazing.

    Our first Foreign Player. ERNESTO PAULO. Proffesional personality is good. Great potential but not that good ability yet. Quite tall at 184cm. Already at 16 the tallest player in my team! Should I retrain him to be central defender? What you guys think?

    Transfer History

    Season three. We got into play-offs just to draw and lose as Fujieda was higher in the league. Biggest improvement are our youth facilities. Up to exceptional both! Training went up one too. But we are broke now as they decided to build a new stadium that is going to cost us 220k per month...so we will stay in red for a while.

    KANDA def broke into first team and had a major year untill he tore his calf muscle to be out for a few months. Still he improved up to 4 ability stars and mightbe our best player. INADA got to play alot in the midfield and went up to 2,5 star. One more retirement so we will need play ready youths soon.

    Italy with World  Cup!

    Poaching continues, our olfd AM become a manager in J3. For some reason poached staffs do not show in transfer history for staffs. Bug?

    New Stadium!

    jB21lJF.png

    Did not expect that one....also it will take a while...2030..so we still have a while to play in Nagoya. 15k is nice. Fastest new stadium I ever got in FM I think.

    YASUDA 26 Intake

    BN821bE.png

    Now that is an intake! 5 elites...and two with high abilty! 3,5 and 4 stars! NICEeeee! Player pictures ware added again at end of season as I needed to generate them.

     

    c2OsCIn.png

    SHIBATA, 3,5 star from teh get go. Not bad. AMAZING Finishing (16!) Already. Needs to work on his Physicals...but otherwise we might have struck gold.

    9VjugbL.png

    And MISAWA. More of a winger. Very pacy (14/15). Will play form the side. Both dudes will get some games next seaosn already.

    Are we ready for J1? No...not even close.

    Transfer History

    Well second season went good. We started off really well. First 10 games went undefeated, but in second half we had many injuries and had a period that we we could not win for more than 10 games. Thankfully for soem reason we had a 1,5 month free after 3/4 of the seaosn (whole september) so we came back for last 4 games in full force. We have the most scored goals (108) but also most conceded (91). We have crazy results. 6-1, 4-8, 3-5, 6-2...alot of high scoring games...without spoiling you too much look further for my own personal highest scoring game below. Either way I'm happy, sadly I do think we are going to be stuck in J2 for atleast 5-8 seasons depending on the youth intakes. So far they have been bad-ish.

    We are losing 6 players at the end of the year. 3 retirements and 3 players who just do not want to extend. that brings our amount of midfielders back to...3...so I'm forced to use youth next year. KANDA (best Youth form last intake) was already playing alot as he is our second wing back on the left. So at 16 he has already 10 league starts. Seems to have done him good as he went up to 2 stars ability.

    Season tickets are going up. And our youth coaching and recruitment is up to Good. Lets hope to imrpove it further this year. Facilities also improved once...but now we are in red. So I will wait a bit to build up maybe 2-3 mln in bank before I ask for more again.

    Now the grind starts.

     

    My biggest win ever in FM!

    Poaching of Staff

    YASUDA 25 Intake

    5 elite...but once I see them in my u18 team...all their ability went down to max 1 star and potential to 3,5 stars....

    QmaqivP.png

    Not in Elites...but once in u18 seems the biggest prospect. Resolute. INADA. Love the determination. For some reason I get alot of youngsters with horrible Stamina and Strengh. Ohh well. let;s see how he will develop.

    What a great story! As a fellow Dutchman I really like this background story. Nice to see an orange shirt too. And I also like that you are using a 4-3-3 formation, although a 3-4-3 would be better as Cruijff mainly played in this formation.

    Great first season! Good luck in J2!

    Thanks! :D  Yeah love the orange, and I know but 3-4-3 is a bit suicidal hehe.  I'm thinking to make some extra 2nd kits in same style as Cruijjfs old clubs...so one for Ajax...Barca and Feyenoord. 

     

    btw if anyone is lookign for some Fc'12 kits and they are not too critical you can always contact me and I can make some for you :)  i'm not great but not too shabby either.

    Pre-Transfers / Transfer History

    Veertien Mie. Club named after the number of Johan Cruijff. So as a Halve-Dutchie this had to be the club I have to bring to glory.
    Our first season went really really well and we secured quite easily promotion to J2. Due to the nature of the club I created a 4-3-3 tactic that uses the Dutch School Principles of Johan Cruijff as described by Pieter Zwart in his book. It also fits that we will be using alot of youth players.

    We have some decent players. Three Koreans, One form teh south and two from teh north. The North Koreans are 4 stars ability and had a great season (KIM & RYANG). Star player was UENO who become league topscorer with 28 goals. The promotion scares me as teh team is average at best, Let's hope we can stay in J2 next season.

    Cups went also ok. We got knocked out by Sanfrecce Hiroshima (J1) in R2 of J-League cup and R3 by Kashiwa Reysol (J1) in Emperors Cup. So quite well done.
    As you can see we had one transfer that I could not cancel as it was already agreed upon when I joined the club (see screens pre-transfer and transfer history).
    Thankfully we could improve Youth Coaching and recruitment twice otherwise we would not get any intake.

    Tried recreating the real kits they use as much as possible and updated them a bit. Will be using them for now.

    The Coach

    The persona...As the club is named after Cruijff, I kept the pseudonim.

    Promotion!

    Consortium takeover

    We had a consortium takeover. They wanted t sign two Brazilians but thankfully I could cancel the transfers.

    Move to new stadium for J2

    We have to move to play in Nagoya for J2. Only 38km thankfully.

    I had difficulty finding a decent HOYD with a great personality so for now YASUDA will do. Former Japanese national with 7 caps and one goal. Works well with kids. Still very young so let's hope he can improve.

    YASUDA24 Intake

    For some reason the candidates do not show in the Youth Canidates window, so the intake is above. Bad. Only 1 4,5 star---ish. We nee dto invest ASP in youth so hopefully we can get better intake next year.

    19jdrOf.png

    KANDA, best of the intake. Resilient so that is good. Love the determination. Strenght is a worry. Work rate is bad. Let's hope he can improve.

    Is there a way to influence the nationality of players in the intakes? Currently struggling in Japan with how short my defenders are with every conceded corner being as good as a penalty.

    What mahzun said...plus later you can get links to other clubs and if you have youth intake one...sometimes you get youths from that country.

    haha yeah for sure! I'm hoping I can see Suzuka Point Getters come up.

    Side note, I was wondering how promotion was implemented in Japan, because IRL teams have to have a license in order to be eligible to be promoted to the J3. I just had Tokyo Musashino get promoted in a re-load who don't appear to have a license, so I guess any team can get promoted!

    awesome
