This one seems the best option  Model Cit

I turned a GK Coach that was a Model Citizen into my HOYD, got a Model Citizen player that has helped my team immensely.

@PaddersThey warned me in the staff meeting that the player became complacent after signing a new contract.

When I got a bad run I rested my starters and went all in with a weaker team later.

Anyone explain to me why renewing your players contracts that are about to expire in 3/4 months results in you mot winning a single game????????????????

He now has an estimated value between £50m -£73m and has a 5 year deal on £39k a week and a minimum fee release clause of £96m (which if activated would give me £43m )

Will you wait? Or activate it for the instant cash?

The board might take a while to consider a further upgrade and offer it as an option.  My working assumption is that if the board doesn't want to pay for it, they'll simply refuse, so I regularly ask but don't push it when they turn me down.

I had to push both to get them. 

[The FM23 Youth Academy Challenge]

For the more experienced in the English leagues, after the takeover I got Junior Coaching upgraded and Youth Recruitment upgraded, they added some money to the club, I waited to see if the upgrades were too expensive or not, seems with the Cup games I I can afford to go up another level, but the option does not appear. Do I need to wait? Or go up a Youth Level?

You better lock up El Presidente, change his computer password, internet, password, email password and cancel his cellphone.

Maybe all of the above.

Season 38/39 (Final) - Süper Lig

Transfers / Players

Well this is it. The Final season. 16 seasons it took me...and we finish in style with a quadruple!. We finish with 8 championships, 2 cups, 6 super cups and one champions league. Kaan Dobra has finished his goal! More about the CL finale at the end. I see I forgot to update the Ballon d'Or on teh pcture and im too lazy to go back but it was won by SEGURA spanish player playing for Chelsea.

With 93 points we really dominated this season. We also finish with 466 mln EUR in the bank. Sadly still no affiliates and no improvement of youth facilities.

Epic finish.

Youth

Last year intake was amazing. Three elite players who can make the first team. Especially TASKAN with resolute persoality is high potential.

For the last update and overview of all intake players per region. Aegean with 207 is the big winner. Altough last few years we ware getting more and more players from all over Turkiye.

Key Players

And the three key players of this save

BAS (vice captain) was a brilliant goaly. In the CL final he saved two huge opportunities and we could not have done it without him.

YALCIN the Captain. The leader. The rock. Already 58 caps at age of 26, he will probably end up with around 100. The first Wonderkid we had and i'm more than happy that he stayed till the end with us. Giving him the armband was vital in that.

GULERYUZ the star striker...already 20 goals for Turkiye...his pace is amazing and he was the MoM of the final. His goal was crucial (altough he had 4 1 on 1 chances).

 

Champions League Final

The teams:

 

1-0 from GULERYUZ. Easy tuck in 5th minutae. It was our 3rd chance of the game already. Blitzball baby.

1-1 from Barcelona in 84th min from Romanian SALI. It gave hope to the Catalonians.

2-1 in 91st min! the winning goal after a great run by VURAL.

The celebrations...continued for 4 days in Turkiye (and continued long after the cup final).

 

And so we win...and I finish the challange.

I loved it. First time I managed to finish it in three years. Sadly Turkiye didn't have alot of foreign intake but I loved playing there. Alot of interesting clubs with rich history. Amazing intakes...much better than I remember in Poland or Netherlands.

Congratulations!

Congrats on the promotion! Do teams that have been promoted normally come right back? Or do they stay up?

Well done on hitting the intake jackpot! Hope you can hang onto him for a few seasons before the inevitable push to move up the pyramid.

He is currently with 3 goals in 5 games. 

[[FM23] Double Trouble - Youth Academy/dafuge - Weston-super-Mare A.F.C.]

Disaster struck, Ramos did not want to sign a new contract because he had signed a new one. Then his contract became a non-contract, tried to sign him to a contract but he refused because he had just signed a new one. Of course along comes Millwall U18.

I was able to offer a contract.

But he decided to go to Millwall... 

The season was going so well, luckily I have another Goalkeeper but the difference in quality is abysmal. 

Let's see if I can keep up the good results after losing my quality GK.

Speechless. Honestly, speechless. WHAT A WIN! WHAT A WAY TO WIN IT! We gave Oliver his champions league final that he's been waiting 20 years for, playing him in the Right Midfielder position in his last game before retiring. What a career he's had. We knew this was our last chance to win it for years. The best players on the team are aging and the youth prospects won't be ready to play properly for a good few seasons. We had absolutely no right to win that, the semi final against benfica, 6-6 aggregate and a win on penalties was a little bit stressful to say the least, and then 3-3 against Bayern and winning on penalties there too. I just don't know how we've done it. The team had no right being in the knockout rounds on pure quality, nevermind winning it. We got so so lucky.

 

Our goalkeeper rick forbes was absolutely working overtime, in the last 20 games he only got a rating under seven three times, and in the away benfica game he played at a 9.1, in the bayern game he played at an 8.9. He's the reason we made it to the finals and he's undoubtedly the reason we won it. What a player. Brad powell, at the young age of 24 is already a Wales national and he was involved in all 3 of our goals in the final, with a goal and 2 assists. He played at a 9.7, another essential figure in our team that we would be nowhere without. 

I could continue but I think you get the point, our players played well above their skills, and that win couldn't be repeated in another 1,000,000 games. Wow.

 

League Performance

Very unspectacular league season. TNS took us to a fight until the end. They're a really quality team but they do not do well enough in Europe.

 

Here's the table. Ruthin are my biggest surprise in this season, they always seem to get destroyed early on and then come back in spectacular fashion, I love watching their antics.

 

Europe

No clue how this happened, again, its just incredible.

 

We got so, so lucky in playing no English teams in the knockouts. They always seem to crush us beyond comprehension. If you're looking at just the results it looks so mixed. We came 20th in the league stage. 20TH! I came 2nd last season in the league phase, equal on points to Real Madrid in first, but that season we got knocked out in the QF by Liverpool.

The Benfica away game was an absolute mess. a red for each team and a chaotic penalty shootout to say the least. Not sure how we managed to score 4 against their massively superior team but I was so chuffed to even be in the final.

Ollie James had an unimpressive end to his career, and sadly I couldn't keep him on for the penalties, I wasn't really sure there would be penalties anyway, that goal from Brad Powell was so needed. I love that man with my whole heart.

The Squad

  Reveal hidden contents

 

I would like to reiterate that we do not have the quality to be near the Champions league final, and im still so confused as to how we reached it.

Like, I adore this man but this isn't what a CL final goalkeeper looks like attribute wise. But he played so amazingly that I can't really complain.

Once again, its like we're playing with a very dodgy league 1 side and we've managed to drag it to the CL final. Wow. Brad is a great player on the field though and thats all that matters. Jeez. I can't believe it.

 

 

Congrats.

I've not been keeping notes, but Crespo would be way top of the list. 

He's scored 18 goals in 23(3) appearances, but I think that about 12 of the woodwork being hit is down to him. 

I blame you:

Drew 2-2 against 9 men...

I used Canva, just searched for something to do it and it was the first that appeared, did a very simple one with it, was simple to use.

Are you keeping the woodwork hitters statistics? Can't wait to see who wins the keep chopping wood award in the end of the season. 

Good to see things improving.

Last Season the focus was on finding a tactic and tune it up, play with the options. This year Mentoring will be the focus, I have set up four Groups, and I will save the Personalities and Determination at the beginning of the Season and then at the end and then compare them.

Could my job be at risk? Thinking I dodged the promotion and possible relegation and dismissal, I could still be at risk?

Just need a help around. You guys like to improve facilities and Youth coaching/ recruitment all around or you like to max something first ?

Due to the increasing cost of each, normally due to money constraints it's all around.

Facilities you need the money upfront and then need to pay for increasing costs, the Youth Coaching and Youth Recruitment you increase your costs. Normally there is a tendency to improve this latter two more since you don't need the money upfront.
