4-1-2-3 with the three being all strikers. Been playing some variation of this formation since FM21, so many goals

Unbeaten Streak Elsewhere in the world

February We finally manage to beat the top two, albeit in the cup. We set up a final against Panathinaikos in May. In the league, we are one point behind AEK now that they caught up on games played. One more game before the league splits into the championship group.

January A very long month saw us climb back to first, although AEK has two games in hand on us. We still failed to beat the two big teams and title rivals. Some of the B team players received their debuts against some of the weaker teams to help us out with rotation We will face Olympiakos in a two-legged QF tie up next

A rival departed A huge transfer in the league is French wonderkid Bruno Taveras has signed for Arsenal, he is Olympiacos and the league's top goal scorer His departure will significantly weaken a direct title rival, as they replaced him with Omar Faraj, a striker who scored 2 goals in 16 games for Feyenoord

Jan Window 2 in, 2 out. We continue to raid the Argentian league for players while getting rid of our average, overpaid squad players

December Our only hiccup this month is against AIK in the conference league, a heavily rotated side gets a draw away from home. Next month is going to be a slaughter as there are 9 games in 4 weeks. It will be a real test The January window is open, I'm not sure if we will be making much moves but my eyes are open towards any bargains.

Cheers, I usually play one club saves so It has been a refreshing change.

Thanks, Jabay, I don't focus on youth facilities too much as I usually move on before any youth players come through, but I try to get them upgraded when possible. In this team I'm enjoying focusing on the B team as they play in the second division so I can influence how much they play and what role/positions. Here are the finances, they are in a good spot.

November Another perfect month sees us go second in the league and confirm our escape from the Conference League group stage

October A much better month where we win all our games including a huge derby game against Olympiacos. We are scoring a lot of goals due to having six strikers who are very good at this level. Our squad depth is also coming in clutch as we rotate the side for midweek games. However, we're still not as solid defensively as I would like.

September A rocky start to the season that proved there is still work to be done to catch up to the big boys. A 4-3 loss to AEK stung as they scored the winner in added time. However, there are positives with how close both games were Still a long season ahead of us,m but it will be decided by the matches against the big three. The rest of the league is no match for us, or them.

Season Preview We're predicted to finish third, but I think I can challenge for the title. AEK are clear favourites and have a very good squad. They have won the last three titles. Our midfield duo is on the media dream eleven alongside a sea of yellow

August We dominate our way toward the Conference League League Phase

A Completely new squad We go to work in the transfer window, and sign a whole new squad, in addition to signing a few players for the B team as well. Most of the signings were free, we had to splash the cash on two Greek squad players for the Conference league rules, a goalkeeper, and an Argentine wunderkind I'm very excited about the look of this team, the wages are on the higher side as opposed to before, but it is much younger and there will be plenty of profit made from sales in the long run

Another Heartbreak We lose in the final of the Greek Cup against Olympiacos. Only 1-0 but we never threatened them

Award Season Despite being here for half a season, Van Koopermiester snatches up his first Manager of the Year award. Our three young strikers sweep the podium at the Talent of the Year award (young player of the season) Tzimas is going to Juventus in the summer, but I will try to get him in on a loan Liam Delap's contract is expiring. but he is asking for ridiculous demands and I feel can get someone of the same caliber on a loan or free transfer Krattenmacher is showing he is worth the investment, and I have a feeling he will have a monster season next year. We took the club from 8th to 4th in half a season and will be competing in the UECL second-round playoff Other than those three players, I haven't been too impressed with the squad. It is old, overpaid, and lacks anyone that can make a difference. We will be aiming for a major overhaul in the summer.

Disaster in Prague A sending-off in the first 20 minutes, giving away a penalty, giving the ball away in our box, and our keeper conceding 5 goals from 1.9xG. Our midfielder gets injured, a goal gets disallowed Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong The Conference League dream is over.

April A busy April saw us leave mostly unscathed, with an advantage in the SF over Prague, but we still have to go to Czechia to finish it off In the League we've all but secured 4th place and a Conference league spot for next season

The dream lives on! Bologna were not that good, although the margin of victory was close, they barely threatened over the two games We were poor offensively as well, scoring via a pen, and a counter-attacking goal. But they all count the Same. Off to Prague for the SF, They are good, but not "we have no chance" good" Dare we dream?

Signed and delivered We have turned the loan of Krattenmacher permanent halfway through his loan deal. He has 8 goals and 5 assists in 16 appearances, mostly playing with the second string as I left him out of the ECL list. He cost us a lot of money, but at 20 years old, he's going to score a lot of goals for a long time and probably be sold for some good money.

Marching On! Another fantastic month at Paok, Villarreal was beaten at home, and they were lucky to score more than once, however, we were lucky away as we scored our chances and they didn't. Our next opponent is Bologna, I don't have the Italian league loaded so IDK how they got there, they have a good squad, but not better than Villarreal. Dare we dream ? In the league, we move into 4th, and now we will just try to hold on. Our cup final against Olympiacoes is confirmed, it will be a busy April

The European Dream Lives on

February A busy month, but one where we came out on top. With the exception of Atromitos, all these sides are much weaker than us, but it took a lot of rotation to bring us those wins. We will face Villarreal in the round of 16 of the ECL, which seems like the end of the line, and although a second leg is yet to be played, a final against Olympiakos is looking likely. They are chasing AEK in the league and seem like a tough outfit to face. In the league, we are through to the Championship group where will be aiming for a 4th place finish, which gives us a 2nd round qualification spot in the ECL.

Italy Bound Young Striker Stefanos Tzimas has signed with Juventus for 13.5Mil, a record fee for a Greek Club to receive. He scored 12 goals in 27 appearances so far this season, and he kicked up a fuss about us rejecting their first offer at 4Mil. Thankfully we held out for a good fee, and will keep him on loan for the rest of the campaign.
