Weiner Sport-Club 2028/29 League - Media Prediction - The league splits into a champions and relegation stage after 22 games, We started the season exactly how you would expect a team predicted to be run away losers to with only picking up 4 wins before the new year. That left us heading into the relegation half of the split and I wasn't feeling that optimistic if I'm honest. However, just before the split Florian Heimann decided he quite liked scoring goals and bagged 14 in the last 16 league games (including 5 in a 8-0 win against SV Ried). We walked the relegation stage if I'm honest, which was a little surprising, and that left us in a European play-off where we had to play SV Ried before the winner would play FK Austria Vienna. We beat SV Ried but needed extra time to do it, the never really threatened and it never looked like they'd win the game. The final was played over 2 legs, the first leg finished 1-1 meaning we had to win the home game to qualify. Luckily it didn't feel like Austria Vienna turned up to that game and we managed to grab a 2-1 win meaning that we'll be playing in the Europa Conference League qualifiers next season. Squad - Only a few of the original players are still hanging around now and I can see them having all gone in the next season or two unless I decide to keep a couple knocking around so the squad doesn't end up being too young. Key Players - Paul Daun - I wasn't that bothered about this guy when he came trough but he ended up starting the season due to an injury to Haas and never left the team after that. I think it'll be a real struggle to keep hold of this guy but if he goes it'll be for a decent amount at least. Our first player to make the NXGN50 list coming in at number 28. Florian Heinmann - He was always going to get game time this season but wasn't looking to be making the most of it until just before the league split. After that he didn't stop scoring, ending the season as the leagues top scorer. Youth Intake (2nd page) - Another good intake with quite a mix of positions coming through. Dominik Danneberg looks like he could be the pick of the bunch. Transfers - Two big sales this season Tomazic kicked up a fuss when Porto came in for him so I couldn't turn down £2.5m when they came back for him. Schubert told me he would be considering his options when his contract finished at the end of the following season so I had to cash in on him too, off to HSV he went for a deal that could be worth up to £3.4m Finances - Not Great! despite £3.6m in player sales the club was still losing a huge amount every month, interestingly promotion has actually cost the club about £1.4m a season since we now don't get out free money every 9 games. Hopefully some European football can give us a few quid, or if not put a couple of players in the shop window. Other - I completed my last coaching badge and we were comfortably the team with the worst disciple in the leagues history, which I'm quite proud of. The backroom staff have had an overhaul over the summer. Ole came in as my number 2, Michael Carrick, Michael Duff and Alex Bruce joined Martin Skrtel in the coaching team, Aleksander Kolarov came in as my Director of Football and Arda Turan to manage the U18's I'm just looking to survive in the league again next season and if we can even make it past one of the European qualifying rounds I'll be thrilled.

Should be all sorted now, didn't realise I hadn't made them public.

Wiener Sports Club Season 1-5 I've gotten a little carried away while working away from home with very little internet access over the past few weeks so there's a lot of catching-up to do, I'll try to keep it concise until I'm up to date. Club Introduction Manager Profile - Club Overview - Finances - Squad - Media Prediction Nothing noteworthy here, nice not to be predicted to be the worst team in the league though. 2023/24 League Table - Never any worries about going down season 1, didn't show any threat of challenging for more either. 10th place. Squad - No changes here because you cant register youth players until the following season. Hannes Kung is both a train wreck and my old CB who doesn't have constant fitness issues, so that's fun. Youth Intake(2nd Page) - 7 5* potential players!! Norbert Lanziner looks to be the best of them but its looking good! Transfers - None Finances - Looking quite good really. Helped by the fact we get gifted 409k every 9 games if we have 12 Austrian players in the match day squad. 2024/25 League Table - 8th place, so progress I suppose, even if it's barely visible. Squad - Forgot to grab a screen shot of it this year but not much has changed. Aaron Bosbach is the only player to make a significant contribution to the first team from last years intake. Hennes Kung has continued with his regular awful outings for us, worryingly he's apparently our best CB now.... Youth Intake (2nd Page) - 9 5* players this time and even a center back!! starting to think that all these high potential ratings is more to do with the squads lack of talent rather than the youth players being good. Transfers - Just a backup striker leaving to play amateur football. Finances - £1.8m in the bank, that free £1.2m a season is doing us wonders Other - I got my first badge after convincing the board it won't make me irresistible to other clubs. Training Facilities got upgraded to "average". Managed to start getting the board onside with this challenge as the agreed to upgrade both the junior coaching and youth recruitment twice so the junior coaching is now "exceptional" and youth recruitment is "Good" 2025/26 League Table - 7th, at this rate we'll be on for promotion any decade now! Squad - 4 regular starters are now through the academy, Bosbach is the best of them but now he wants to get off to a club that aren't named after a body part. Youth Intake (2nd Page) - 9 5* players, a regen from Afghanistan and another from Dominican Republic, the perfect intake?? Transfers - New club record sale of £1,000. Finances - Still in the black but maybe spending about 15x more on my youth setup than I do on player wages isn't ideal. Other - The board have really bought into the challenge with two further upgrades to the youth recruitment meaning that it's now as high as it can be too! The club went professional too, which is a massive step forwards, I'm just not thinking about how much more money we'll hemorrhage. I got my National C Badge too. 2026/27 League Table - Back down to 10th. Going to have to rethink something for next season. Squad - About half of the starting XI are youth now, which is nice. Kung is still a starter though and I hate every minute he gets to play. Youth Intake (2nd Page) - 10 5* players.... Surely we've got the best academy in Austria all ready, in the 2nd division too somehow. Transfers - Had to make some sales this year due to a mixture of just needing the money and players apparently not dreaming of staying the the Austrian 2nd tier for their whole career... Just selfish of them really. All the deals have a 50% of profit clause. Finances - It's started to look a bit not great but I'm fixing that by just not going onto the finance screen. Other - I got some more badges this season, up to a Continental B now. 2027/28 League Table - Champions!! Not sure how this happened at all really, lots of 1-0 wins and a lot of luck, can't complain though. Squad - Lots of youth getting regular minutes now but still haven't been brave enough to play a full XI of youth players. Clearly they are decent though since they've won the league! even Hennes Kung looked competent this year. Youth Intake (2nd Page) - Another 8 5* players this year!! worth noting that the vast majority from previous years are down to the 3 1/2* potential range so still no idea how good any of these actually are. Transfers - A couple of players out again after they kicked up a fuss. Again, 50% profit clauses included. Finances - The money from playing Austrian players has saved us from it looking really really bad this year, might have some more sales on the cards over the summer depending on what the money in the top division looks like Other - Finished off my coaching badges, the board just seem to agree with anything I ask at this point. Even when we're £800k in the red. Really not sure what to even think about going to play the big boys next year, we don't have the money or really the player to compete. To add some context here is the wage spend top spend 50 times more than us on wages, even the team directly above us spends 3x what we do. It's going to be tough. RB Salzberg spent £100m in the transfer market over the summer too!!

Massive achievement @libbyshuss well done!! Surely got to at least got for the CWC too before calling it a day.

Some really interesting saves going on this year! I haven't attempted one of these since FM17 playing as a Hungarian team until my pc decided it didn't like living anymore which put an abrupt end to it. After stumbling across @Cultured Left Foot's save on Youtube the fire was lit. After a little think about where I wanted to manage I settled on Austria, mainly because I like the national badge, and set about reloading until there was a club name I fancied. Initially I wanted to find a club that was located out in the sticks because I've always liked having stadiums larger than the towns population but when Wiener Sports Club came up I couldn't resist the slightly silly name even if they're based in the capital. I wanted to play a few seasons to make sure the save was going to stick before starting proper updates but I've made sure to keep screenshots of everything so I can write up a proper recap of what's happened so far.
