Pro League - October 2023 We are looking pretty damn good this season. Big wins against Genk and against Anderlecht. Coming Up We start the month against Lazio and play for the 1st place in the group. The rest should be pretty easy.

Europa League 2023/24 - Group Stage - Game Day 3 Very good home draw vs Lazio. We kept Immobile quiet and pretty much secured us the next round.

Europa League 2023/24 - Group Stage - Game Day 2 No problem against Larnacas. Cuypers finally is back to his normal form with a hattrick.

Pro League - September 2023 Not really good away from home at the moment. Buit the season is still young and we are still undefeated. Coming Up Couple of big games in October. Genk, Lazio and Anderlecht.

Europa League 2023/24 - Group Stage - Game Day 1 Dominated Partizan, but we conceded one weird goal after a throw in.

I feel like the poaching stuff got a slight improvement. Its very very likely that youth players are gettin poached by bigger clubs. Especially in Eastern Germany its pretty common.

There are 5 players on my "Pls Win" shortlist. Torunarigha got the best odds.

OUT We made one more sell, but I will go through in December. Hanche-Olsen for 7,25 mio to Mexico. With 12 months left on his deal, I take that money. IN Another U21 Euro signing. Buleica will join us from Craiova, where he is gettin first team football age 15.

Squad Overview 2023 We got a very deep squad this season. But I guess you cant really count the 16 y/o players really, since there are gettin more football in the reserves. Formation is still pretty much untouched. I only play with the lines and passing ingame. And I big games I drop the WB to support. And here is my notebook. Its sorted by playing time and position.

Lazio is tough, with Partizan we should battle for the 2nd place. But I think we can do that.

Transfers Summer 2023 Part 2 IN Ofcause we spent some of this money, roughly 18,5 mio. Im pretty happy overall, I think we improved the team even if we bought younger players in. The Free Ones Resink from 2nd tier Almere - Still only 20 with some potential. Its a classsic free and sell after loan signing. Meixedo from Porto B - This one I regret, my scouts rated him higher. Wuytens from Beveren - Solid HGN player. Diego Lopez - 41 years and he could still go. He is on mentor duty. The Loanies We raided Germany for some spicy talents, for all we got an option to buy. John 1,6 Mio, Walde 4,2 Mio and Schulz 2,5 Mio. Then my scout sent me a report of Matheus Nascimento. I know him from last FM, he was listed for loan and interested. We got a 3,6 Mio and after his start to the season I might be willing pay. On deadline day we loaned Antonucci from Feyenoord. Why? Homegrown rules for the league. The Big Ones Our scouts did some work over the past months. We raided Nordsjaelland for some spicy talents. Both Diomande and Nagalo are pretty amazing so far and should go for some serious money after 12 months. On deadline day we signed Caufriez sadly for 2 mio. Why? League rules, he was the cheapest and best Belgian CB we could find. We sold our backup keeper Nardi, so I looked for another youngster. My scouts really rated Rafn Valdimarsson high, so I givbe him a try. Since we are playing in Belgian with basicly no rules...ofcause I sign my boy Mueanta. Anubodem was listed by request for 450k. He will play in the Reserves this season. Every season I try to spent like 5 mio on really good looking teenagers. There is Ndongo, Grindhaug and Horner, they will get some extra spotlight. Ndongo I found by looking at the U19 Euros. He won the Golden Boot as AMC. Then I saw Niort gettin relegated into the 3rd tier, so I knew this was the right time. I looked at my affiliates and I saw we got Haugesaud. They got a pretty good youth setup. Through their first intake came Grindhaug. So I did the right thing and got him early. He will stay at Haugesung atleast for 2 seasons, where he is gettin regular football in the B team (4th tier) and as bench option for the main team. And then there was Fabrizio Horner. He was part of the Albanian U21, who played as the U21 Euros. 15 years and playing with the U21? So why not. He came through the Red Star FC (France, 3rd tier) intake.

Transfers Summer 2023 Part 1 OUT Big clear out of our Reserves and we made like 450k. We made roughly 40 mio in players sell, which I find pretty amazing. The biggest one is Jordan Torunarigha for 17,5 mio to RB Leipzig. Not only is that a nice chunk of money, with Leipzig we got our first chance of silverware. The other big out were Castro-Montes, Chakvetadze, Hjulsager and Willems. All with 12 months left on their deals.

Another solidarity payment. This is fun to track. Pretty good EL group we got here. Lazio and bloody Immobile will be the favorites, but we should grab 2nd pretty easy.

Pro League - August 2023 Great start to the month. Jeremejeff with almost always the first goal of the game. For 1,3 mio at the start of this save, yes please. Hopefully he can keep it up, so we get maybe really good 10+ mio offer next summer. Coming Up Two big games against Standard and Royal Antwerp in September. And probably some EL games.

Europa League 2022/23 - Playoffs - 2nd Leg Tough game in Georgia, but we got into the EL group stage with no problem. --- Another youth player switched clubs, 240k for Van der Bruggen. If Cremonese is gettin relegated, I will probably go for him as backup player.

Europa League 2022/23 - Playoffs - 1st Leg Solid home victory should secure us the group stage.

We will travel to Georgia for the EL playoffs. Another small solidarity payment.

Pro League - July 2023 Decent start again Mechelen. Apparently the league is now down to 16 teams. Coming Up Lets see who we will got in the EL playoffs. We also play Club Brugge.

Dont worry, its fit the topic.

Royal Antwerp started really well in the season. I keep an eye on them this season, because they got Bayern legend MVB as coach. He got some much sh*t in Germany for his "failed" attempt at Wolfsburg. But its wasnt really his fault, because everybody with a clear mind said this would end really quick. Their DoF is garbage.

Another small solidarity payment. Its not much, but I take the information that this players exist. He looks like a decent backup/Reserve team player.

Ty. Yes it seems everbody is p*ssing away money. Without players sells or constant Euro money its hard to progress. It sad to here about the bugs in the lower leagues. I think Belgium is so fun to play with their league system, youth setup, reputatuin and almost non existing registration rules. Ty.

Pro League Super Cup 2023 First W and first title of the season. Our new star man Diomande already with an impressive performance.

There was a big overhaul of the coaching staff in summer. Not perfect, but we are working on it. Also we finally got some more varity in the scouting department. We had like 8 Belgian scout. We expanded our scouting network a lot. Lets see what they can find over the next months. Our old network helped us a lot already this summer.

Very busy offseason, we made a lot of transfer things. We start the season with the Super Cup once again. But this time its Anderlecht.
