Yes thank you! I was in 31. season but its FM 21 so maybe bit offtopic. Played it on and off for over 3 years. I am very fond to it and sad its lost but probablly it time to move on. My longest RL players all started in B team at gamemstart and were amazing and become club legends, Nico Williams, Nico Serrano, Unai Gomez and Ohian Sancet. They were fantastic in FM21. Dunno if their Potential is a bit randomized but they were great. My best newgen was AML/striker and played for me most as AML/IF had just 11/12 finishing but in prime 20 technique, 19 dribbling, 19 agility, and 16+ everything else that he needs, only crossing bad ( vision, passing, flair, acc, pace etc all 16+). He was about to retire in my save now though. Real , Valencia and especially Barca were too strong in my saves all time but i managed to hold my ground just fine and won 5 titles and almost every year quallify for CL. Valencia got some rich takeover in first season and was very strong after few years, at pair with Barca and Real and won league several times and champions league but barca won CL like 5 or 6 times in row. Real Sociedad was really good too. Now i started FM24. Gotta say players dont look as good as before. But there is potential. Vivian is unhappy because i didnt allow him to go to Saudi Arabia. They offer just 15 million. I asked what wage he wants to stay and he say 25 million per year(!!!). So he is currently unhappy, hopefully he will turn around. I did manage to get new contract with Nico Williams with 150 mill release clause. Hired some good model citzen Head of Youth, and filled all coaches, did good hard preseason and now rdy to start season.

Hello people. Happy to found this thread! After my FM21 save, 30+ seasons with Athletic Bilbao got deleted in oblivion with crash i decided to buy FM24 and start over! In 30+ seasons won 5 leagues, 1 champions league and 4 cups and few supercups. Maybe its not that much impressive but i was happy and so was board. I had problems with central backs over thr years but got many worldclass goalkeepers, wingbacks and wingers. Really i had like 5 or 6 world class goalkeepers. Sold them to Valencia, Inter, Chelsea etc. B team won second division many times and C team won third division many times (yes i was lucky to get C team to promote in playable league after first 2 or 3 seasons). Downloading game now from steam and facepacks, logos, realname fixes etc. Looking forward to reading this entire tread and sharing new experience. Best of luck to all. Aupa Athletic!

Mladost Petrinja promoted, Mladost literally means "youth" so thats appropriate but they have everything "poor" and look even worst then Kurilovec. I will try look in editor, thats good idea, i literally never opened it.

Ok i am just restarting. I am on holiday. Wish me luck! Cant say i will miss my Kurilovec save. TBH i feel strees free now that i abandoned it. Zadar and Varteks are first clubs that come to my mind. They were first league clubs that relegated and bankrupted and kicked to lowest league but i just checked their facilities and they are bad ingame. But they should have decent attendance for this league. Trogir or Imotski would be fun because they have very very cool stadiums IRL Guess i will look what club will promote and reload until one decent comes. Kurilovec had like 14 non gray players and all of them very bad even for second croatian tier, so few good players on start would be nice.

Did u promote early? My players always cry they want to leave even when other second tier clubs make offers. I cant invest in anything because insecure financially

Oh yes. Thats a good idea with facilities. There are several decent clubs in third tier that was in first division in past and have ok facilties and some of them even have fanbase. I am from Croatia RL and never heard of Kurilovec. Maybe i should start over and reload few times until decent club promotes. I love struggle but feel of 0 progress is very frustrating

Kurilovec. They are really bad

Oh thats great, congrats! I am entering 9. season and feel like did 0 progress from first season. Not just feel its reality. Its very frustrating. What club did u get?

Sry, what is yac? Yes, i know i would become more stable club if enter first divison somehow even if i fall first season out. Could sell some players for lot more money and maybe upgrade facilities, and all week training would be amazing but its very hard! Lot clubs in second league are lot better and i would be destroyed in first league. Struggle is real.

Hello people. I love youth academy challenge but i have one question. Has anyone tried to do it in Croatia? Its impossible i think. Lot croatian second division clubs, especially newly promoted, have around 300-400 attendence, clubs are constantly struggling financially, there is no profit anywhere whatsoever and its impossible to upgrade facilities. Regardless of trash facilties, Croatia is good, so it is possible to get some very good newgens but they are ridiculously undervalued and leave for croatian top division or austria/italy for basicly free. Been semi pro club dont help. Ofcourse entering first division could help because players value would skyrocket and club would become pro but its very hard to promote since only 1 club, league winner, promotes, and some second division clubs are lot better then me. Also lot of best second divison players are on loans from first league and ofc we cant loan, but even if get somehow lucky and enter first league it would be impossible to stay up, croatian first league have only 10 clubs and all of them are very good. Any help would be aprecieted. I am struggling 8 seasons low-mid table finish and no progress, constantly financially insecure. Every good newgen leave for 10k-20k while i loosing around 300k yearly. Biggest expanses are "others" cause wages are minimum. Has anyone ever managed to do this?
