Go Polonia!

congrats @ludak great achievement. Another Country off teh board in Serbia.

Polonia Warszawa - The Black Shirts Season 30/31 Players / Transfers Third championship in the row. For long time it didn't look like it as ware 2nd/3rd till 20th league game. But both Widzew and Legia tanked and even got passed by Cracovia. Alot of changes this season so that explains difficult start. First of all we got new owners. The french dude sold the club for 60mln. Hence also new kits!. With witcher makers CD PROJECT as main sponsor now. Than we lost two strikers and our main star. KOWALCZYK his min fee was matched and I was not so unhappy about as his replacement was ready. But CHOJCZAK was a difficult decition. Keep him a season or let him go? He really did not want to extend. With 7 caps and a goal for Poland our only polish international left for only 5 mln to Hoffenheim. Further in the back JAROSZ is 34 and got replaced by WYROBA. Two new attackers are NANA our Nigerian (who made his debut for Nigeria) and SKOCZYLAS. GORECKI also became our new midfielder after KOZIEL decided to hate my guts (I didn't want to pay him halve a mil a year). ARSENAL finally wo the CL. WC went to Spain. And HAALAND got his 4th Ballon d'Or. We also finally wona cup...the SuperCup...on penalties. We had a great run in CL and lucky schedule. In knock out playoffs we played NANTES. In Round16 we got destroyed by PSG. We played a bit above what we can...and I doubt we can get to level of QF in CL anytime soon. takeover. Two biggest sales. And our new owners decide to build a new stadium! Class of BERESZYNSKI '31. A GREAT one!...look at that talent. We also got a Montenegro dude. MASLANKA needs to be retrained. Either LB or MC. Decent determination and work rate. MICHALSKI is the biggest talent I think. Best personality. Great determination and could be either midfielde ror striker.

Polonia Warszawa - The Black Shirts Season 29/30 Players / Transfers Second championship and in a row. Great season for us. We did lose the SuperCup so that is a shame. We did have three changes in the first team. Our captain and goaly BRUDNICKI wanted a new challange and didn't want to extend so I left him go. He was replaced by DUDEK (great name for a goaly obviously). Same applied to our RB PIASEK. He was let go for a very low amount of only 40k. And BLASZCZYKOWSKI left as his foreign min fee was activated by about 16 clubs. He choose Granada in La Liga. Sadly only 1.6m. Still our biggest transfer to date. Our new RB is NAGY who after playing 3 games for u-21 Hungary switched back to Poland. KOWALCZYK is our new striker. We are getting quite alot of interest in our attackers so I do fear we are going to lose another one in off season. Stuttgart with an upset in Germany. Chelsea with their 4th CL win. ZIDANE has now 6 CL wins and equals KLOPP. HAALAND continues the battle with MBAPPE and wins his 3rd Ballon d'Or. Our biggest transfer to date. BERESZYNSKI class of '30. great class. four elite is great. One foreign intake player. A slovak. I'm a bit disapointed by our HoYD. He does not want to study so...I'm unsure his still are going to go up. Best of the class. BAWOLIK looks like a decent wing back. Maybe even future captain. And latest news....Our French Chairman decided to lose the club...and we have a first possible takeover. I guess we will be getting a new sponsor (Sii is company of our Chairman).

Polonia Warszawa - The Black Shirts Season 28/29 - Ekstraklasa & Champions League Players / Transfers Great season and finally our first CHAMPIONSHIP. Third of Polonia. With same tally as last season but other clubs ware just bad. Legia finished 7th!. And Wisla got relagated with RAUL as a manager. Cup was ok-ish sadly again QF. We managed to get into Champions League. Money money money! We got two new midfielders in 1st 11. KOZIEL and KALINOWSKI. Next seaosn might see some changes in the defense...and we will probably lose BLASZCZYKOWSKI...he already declied 3mln offers. I just hope we can keep atleast one striker. But we got humbled...badly. we lost 11-1 against Man United!...yeah...Im not gonna rest until we beat Man U at their home turf!! #newrival Some interesting things outside of Poland. RB Leipzig managed to get the title and Europa League. Their best season ever. Netherlands winning the Euro always warms my heart. Real Madrid won the CL in the final against Arsenal...whats more crazy is that KLOPP is their manager...so this is his 6th CL win! (5 with Liverpool). CHAMPION BOCHENSKI class of '29/ His last as I fired him. I know I know...we keep getting elite players...but he was a bridge HoYD anyway. Not bad...no foreign intake sadly...but three elites is welcome. Especially the goaly. We need one! I dare you guys to try prenounce his surname :D. DLUGOLECKI...at first I though his surname meant in polish long arms (very fitting for the goaly) but i think it refers to a small town....for me he will be LONG ARMS!. This will be our #1...no doubt about it. The best acording to BOCHENSKI is WOLSZTYNSKI...another striker...who cannot finish (yet). Let's see how he will grow. And the new HoYD for next seaosn is.....BERESZYNSKI...old polish national...still only 36...I hope he will develop as he only has national C. Perfectionist is great...and I had great succes in my turkish save with that personality. I also hired his dad as a scout...for RP purpose.

how come?

Polonia Warszawa - The Black Shirts Season 27/28 (5th) - Ekstraklasa Transfers / Players 5th season already. Going steady. Again small improvement. This was actually the first seaosn we ware in the fight for the championship. We lost but we ware there in the fight. Sadly our rival won. We had a great run in Conference league only to lose in semi finals against Eintracht Frankfurt. I think we are putting our name and growing our rep steady. 2-3 more seaons to become champions me thinks. Only change in the first team is the rookie season of CHOJCZAK and what a seaosn that was! 60 goals in 54 games! 37 goals in the league, 2 in the club and 21 in conference league. Amazing debut season, and he was been calle dup for Polish national team for the EURO '28 so he could be our first regen to get a cap. Chelsea finally broke the Liverpool's run (and defeated them in the final!). ZIDANE won his 4th CL. HAALAND with his second Ballon d'Or. Only surprise is Inter winning Italian league. BOCHENSKI class of '28. Not the best class, only two elites...but one of them is special! One foriegn players is always nice. J.J. NANA. Already a classic. That smile, That name...I can already imagine the fans chanting his name to numerous songs. Sadly another striker...a bit overkill of them now. Not the best personality but decent determination. Great technique and flair. A new star is born! He is halve Cameroonian btw, that explains the french name. GORECKI seems like a decent midfielder. Love his determination and teamwork. Needs work.

Polonia Warszawa - The Black Shirts Season 26/27 - Ekstraklasa Players / Transfers Decent improvement from our side. Top3 finish is great. First season in europe in Conference league went well. We ended the run in Round of 16 against Lech Poznan of all clubs. Cup was won by Twente so that is nice. We had some changes in our team. PAZIO our loyal wing back got injured and broke his back and decided to retire mid season. He was replaced by LUKASIK (1st year regen). Further we replaced alot of reserve players by youngsters and regens. FIUDZIUKIEWICZ our old main striker retired at the end of the season and will be replaced by one of the regens next year. Our star strikers MAHE and BLASZCZYKOWSKI entertain big interest but for now mostly from Lech and Legia. Last big was 2 mln so i'm happy we got the Euro money this year. Liverpool with 4th CL win in a row. Bellingham and Liverpool is an amazing mix. MBAPPE with Ballon d'Or despite losing the World Cup to Portugal. BOCHENSKI class of '27. Not bad at all. Two elites. And two foriegn intakes. TOMIC who is a German Croat. And NAGY (naked in polish) who is halve Hungarian. KAZIMIERSKI has great determination and technique. And that is about it. I hope he has decent potential as he needs to improve alot. SKOCZYLAS is not elite...but he is a Model Citizen! Our first. Decent finishing already....But he is slower than me. (I was actually quite fast up to 2 years ago). Still, I have high hopes.

Make sense to have a Spanish HoyD after link with Betis. time to raid more spanish staffs

Polonia Warsaw - The Black Shirts Season 25/26 (3rd) - Ekstraklasa Players / Transfers First of all @XaWget well soon! Covid can be bad. I was out for weeks in the past summer. Decent season for Polonia. 4th and chance to play in Conf. League next year. We ware lucky Pogon lost their last 3 games so we could surpass them. Three youngsters entered the first team. VASIN an Ukraininan (who is a real player) replaced MARCINIEC in first 11, but does not progres much. The other two ware the stars of our first intake, BLASZCZYKOWSKI and MAHE. MAHE started as rotation but quickly became a starter. Both players grew to 4 stars this year so that is great. Liverpool and KLOPP with 3rd year in a row CL win. Impressive. Nice to see Brentford win an European cup. Also in Poland Rakow with their first ever championship. BOCHENSKI '26 scholars. Not a very good year it seems. Only one elite. No foreign intake stadly. KALINOWSKI. The only elite. Determination and work rate are ok. His passing is bad. He;s also not the fastest. Needs alot of improevment to be considered for the first team.

Polonia Warsaw - The Black Shirts Season 24/25 (2nd) - Ekstraklasa Transfers / Players First season in Ekstraklasa went quite well. A left side finish is quite great. Legia sadly with another championship. We had a great start to the season but struggeled heavely in december due to injuries. Thankfully the season resumes in february so we had time to heal and recover. I added the kits, more or less what they have in real life. Made them myself so don't be too harsh on me :). Our former captain PIATEK retired and was replaced as captain by our #1 goaly BRUDNICKI. ROGUSKI joined the first team, fought into first 11 and stayed there. He might even be our best midfielder at the moment. Enourmous progress in a season. RADZINSKI aslo got into first 11 in the attack but failes to impress and will porbably be replaced by one of the regens from last year. Liverpool and KLOPP with back to back CL wins. This year they beat Arsenal coached by VIERA in the final. SALAH with Balon d'Or is a nice change in pace. Paraguay winning the Copa and Monaco winning French title are the big surprises. Our new HOYD BOCHENSKI. Model Citizen is great. Skills less so. I see him as a bridge HOYD untill we can build up rep and get a truly great HOYD. BOCHENSKI Class of '25 starts off great. Six Elite talents is amazing. Less so that we get so many strikers yet again. A bit overkill. No foreign intake this year. MARKUT seems to be one of the better talents this year. Love his aggression and teamwork. Work rate and determination are decent. Not bad...could be great. CHOJCZAK is for me the bigget talent of the class, especially as he is a Perfectionist. Amazing determination. Great finishing already. Within two seasons he will be one of our main strikers.

great going! love the Youth only saves. good luck, i will follow. Schepens seems to be developing quite nice.

The return of Oli! Polonia Warszawa - The Black Shirts Season 23/24 (1st) - 1. Liga Transfers / Players I remembered that I started a save as Oli so I wanted to see how the season will go and if this year I could manage to finish the challange with Polonia (last 2 years I stopped after 10 seasons or so). Well first year was great. Quite easy championship. We are losing money though, more so than last FMs. The core of our team is also quite old, and already tow of 1st 11 players decided to retire. We do not really have replacements ready so 1st seaosn in Ekstarklasa will be difficult. I also made a mistake of selling all backup goalkeepers...so my goaly really cannot get injured next year. Or sold. Bam direct promotion! HoYd Great Hoyd....sadly he decided to retire after one season so we will have to search for a new one. Pawlowski class of '24. We start off with five elite prospects! :D. Great begin. Also love the international player. (Our Chairman/Owner is french so I guess that is the reason). If Michal is a bit as good as Kuba we will have a brilliant player here. His still are not that great though so we will see. MAHE is French/Cameroonian. Amazing pace and speed. His lack of ambition and low work rate do worry me. Stamina ais also bad. He needs alot to improve.

congrats @thomas_e

have issues connecting to the brazilian club and the league...I also really dislike that there are so many games in a season. so going to postpone that save thinking of where to start a new save but im kinda stuck. first possibility is Austria as they have two teams that sound interesting...Wacker Innsbruck and Austria Salzburg would like to start in Sweden...but starting in 4th level is going to be a too big hassle to go up and take atleast 20 seasons. I dont know

congrats @Neo_Geo

AFE - Ferrinha Season 2023 (1st) - Serie C Players / Transfers So it's been a while since I started this save, I went on holidays, got sick...bla bla did not play for over a month. But I'm back! First season went really great and got promoted to Serie B. In the Sao Paulo league we did not do well. Only 8th. Love the real kits of the club so i'll keep them for a few seasons. Cup was horrible and we went out to amateurs in round 1. VINICIUS ZANOCELO who was loaned out to Serie A club Santos retured and was directly important for us. Sadly after tasting Serie A level he wants to leave. Let's see if any club will bid 2,5mln or he will stay another 2 seasons at our club. PEDRO PAULO was the MVP of the year with 40 goals and 5 assists. Hopefully we can keep him for longer. Overall we have a decent team and i'm confident we can stay in Serie B. Our HOYD It's hard not to pronounce his surname ia tiny different way...so I'll stay with SERGIO. Resolute personality...decent skill. Will serve us well in coming years I hope. CHEMALE #1 intake (2023) And right away with two Elite talents. Looks promising. NICOLAS could become our future central back. His personality is a bit crap though. Great tackling already though. MAZINHO could be our next midfielder. Good determination and work rate. Love his bravery. Unambitious doesn't have to be horrible. Needs work on passing and his speed.

great to see a save in singapore. love the country and the league

nice and now off to conquer Italy! @libbyshuss

I got more or less the same plaus all the players in brazil. plus I took england and spain as playable and major euro countries as view only. took all south american countries top league as playable to add to competition. I will probably pay for it though....my turkish game really lagged after 13 seasons.

its going fast now congrats both @glennuk and @hubwub Colombia can now also be taken out of countries completed I guess.

Brazil has won...so my new save: AFE in Brazil...as Roger (Brazilian who played for polish national team....bron in Sao Paulo so from same city as AFE).

its ok if I start a save in Serbia? I'm thinking of letting the WC game decide...Brazil vs Serbia...I will play in teh country of the winner.

not great personalities but the players seems to have great potential! edit: just love your graphics man!

agreed....I'm thinking who to play next. - Serbia seems like a nice country to play. OFK Beograd seems like a great fallen local team to rebuild and Serbia has not been cleared yet. - Afrika in Iceland seems awesome...do you need a custom CD to play them? - I've not played in Brazil before. Maybe Perolas Negras? Would need alot of reloads and in beta they could not promote. - or I could start my Polonia game. choices choices
