Belgium Season Review Pro Jupiler League - WINNERS Our fourth title in a row! and again we did it in the Champions Group, turning on the style when it mattered the most. 5 victories in a row seasled the title before the fina game, which is just as well as we lost it to Club Brugge Champions League A mixed bag. We did ok in the league stage, but two hammerings from Premier League teams wasn't a good sign. We were a lot closer against Barcelona. Once we got past the league stage we had our best run yet! all the way to the quarter finals where we pushed Liverpool close. Although we lost the second leg 7-3 it was a lot closer in terms of chances and xG so a definite improvement on that 14-0 defeat a few years back! Players Top Scorer - Sam Straetman 51A - Been our main striker for the past 3 seasons. He's happier as an attacking midfielder and struggled this season, although that maybe because he spent the entire season with his morale in the dumper because I turned down an offer from Man City for him. Not sure whether to keep him up front next season, 21 goals from 45 games in our formation is pretty poor really. Top Assists - Amin Saadi 45B - Now 31 and with over 100 caps for Morocco behind him he's a really important player for us. Usually plays right wing, giving the younger players so valuable experience Top Average Rating - Stephen Guilen 49G - winner for the second year running! Interesting as he was never supposed to get anywhere near the first team, let alone become a vital cog. But when Bodson and Dumont left in created a vacuum in midfield into which Guilen was sucked, just as a filler at first. But every time he played, he did good. and he still does good! Wonderkids I got 6 more seasons to try and sign him up to a longer contract! he is ridiculously good! Youth Another pair of As in the preview got me excited and my new HoYD did not let me down. Only two elite talents, but what talents! Guus Knol is predicted to be a once in a generation talent! he does look pretty, pretty good! and his mate isn't too shabby either, Finance and Upgrade By far the most exciting thing this season. The Libby Shuss Stadium is on its way!!!! Career Well, might be our best season so far in the champions league but we're still not close. But we have by far our best set of youth prospects so far this save, potentially even better than 2039 (which was a crazy year) so who knows?

Belgium Season Review Another really good season from us. We were solid in the league but once we got to the champions group we were amazing. 8 victories and a draw saw us romp to another league title. Being that i'm still in a transitional phase it was especially pleasing Champions League we had our best league stage for a long, long time with some excellent results getting me all excited for the knockout rounds. But again, we went out in the knockout play-off round, this time on penalties against Wolfsburg. I've still not got anywhere close in the CL Players These two will hopefully be my centre back partnership for the next 10-15 seson. Only problem is Boon is already asking to leave to play with a stronger squad..... Youth another really nice preview and intake! Only issue is the two best prospects both have light-hearted personalities, which isn't great. Hopefully a bit mentoring will knock that out of them. But the biggest news was the retirement of my HoYD who I've had since 2026. He was a model citizen, amazing stats, brought me through so many amazing player. And now he's gone.... His replacement? this fella! Career

Belgium A really weird season that at one point looked like it could be a total disaster which then turned into an unlikely triumph. Belgium has this thing where the boards really like you to run a negative transfer balance - in other words sell players to make money. If you don't, they can take control and sell your players for peanuts. As we've had 100m+ in the bank it's not something i've had to worry about for the last 20 seasons so I stopped looking. And then, in January, the board told me they were taking control of player sales and promtply sold Ma Xi47B, our best player, for 43m to Marseille. But.... I had turned down a £128m off for him in the summer, and he really wasn't happy about that. He thre his toys out the pram, stomped around the club, told everyone how much he hated me and totally split the club in two. When he left our morale was low and we were not looking good. But once he left, things started to look up. The morale came back, we startd playing with a bit of pizzazz, we finished the season strongly and weren't in too bad a shape for the championship group. Which we then dominated to seal an unlikely title win, our sixth! Champions League We were terrible! and yet somehow managed to get through the league stage where we were narrowly beaten by Sevilla in the knock out stage Wonderkids Still only 18, Boon looks the real deal! A nice surprise was my midfield prospect named as a wonderkid, just as i was starting to lose faith in him Youth losing Ma Xi was a blow, i could really do with a decent intake to soften it. and by golly we got one! Three As in the preview got me :-o but four elite talents got me :-D The best two look potentially really good - not sure who will be a striker and who a winger but both still have a bit of work to do Career belgium is fun, but wile we seem to have the domestic side sorted we are still really struggling in the Champions League. Still nowhere near!

Lyra Lierse - Belgium - 2055/56 Pro Jupiler League - WINNERS Not a bad performance for what was supposed to be a transition season as I eased out the class of '39. We were so far ahead of the rest of the pack it was almost silly. Despite starting the Champions Group 9 points clear we still almost managed to throw it away, having to rely on a result in the final game of the season to see us over the line Croky Cup - WINNERS Domestic double winners! not a bad transition season! Champions League - Out at league stage well, this is where it all fell down. We were pretty appalling really, even though it was a difficult draw, but a lucky result against St. Ettienne meant we could qualify if we beat FC Kobenhavn in the final game. We were rubbish, we didn't PLAYERS Bit of a mixed bag with the transition. Our best player was still Beau Bodson 39A, who is leaving for Saudi at the end of the season. But we did get a couple of youngsters pop up on the NXGN list, so swings and roundabouts I guess We'll miss Bodson - look how consistent he's been for us! But we need to look to the future now! If I had Brieuc Boon 54A 15 years ago I might have completed the challenge. Our defence was always our weak spot but it looks like we might have found the answer in Boon We also had the winner of European Golden Boy in our young Swedish winger. But he's 20 now and not quite where I'd like to be at that age. we'll see I guess. Youth An underwhelming preview and intake. Nice to see our affiliate clubs paying dividends though with a nice range of nationalities. Career We're still a mile off the Champions League, it seems. Maybe we just need a lucky run in or something?

Belgium - Lyra Lierse - 2054/55 Pro Jupiler League - 3rd For the last 10-12 season the class of 2039 has been the cornerstone of the side. But with them all (Laurent Dumont 39A, Beau Bodson 39B, Nicaola Giovenco 39C, Eloi Desmet 39E) being 31/32 I thought this was the perfect season to start giving some more game time to my promosing youth players. Well, that plan backfired! All 4 of them complained about losing game time, half the squad agreed with them, half against them, and it was a real struggle with morale. Not helped by the fact the kids did well when they played, and the Class of 39 were still starting way more games than not! We also struggled after our 14-0 humiliation against Liverpool so in the end it was quite an achievement to finish 3rd! Croky Cup - Runner Up again.... ah, who cares? stupid cups, i just played the kids. and the elders got really cross! Champions League - Knockout playoff round First game of the league stage was great, a 6-4 home win and Man UTD. But the second game was a humilating disaster that took us a long time to get over. 14-0 away to Liverpool shows just how far away we are from really challenging. We needed to win the last two league stage games to qualify, which we did, but then we Real Madrid in the knockout round. We did ok tbf, but not quite good enough in the end and they knocked us out. Wonderkids I like the look of this fella. I might try him up front next season just to see how good he can be. He's on an 8 year contract so Madrid can be interested all they like, they ain't getting him! Youth My best preview and intake for a long time, maybe since 2039. At least two are going straight into the first team squad for next season and are gonna get game time. Very excited for this lot! The top two players look really good, especially Schlabertz. I'll be shocked if he isn't a future wonderkid. I mean, look at him! And Masson isn't too bad either, just a shame about the personality. I hate fickle people. Career So next season is going to be a transition season i think, as I'm determined to push ahead with my youth first policy, Class of '39 be damned. They had their chance! and they blew it! 14-0 away at Liverpool!

not that bad!

second game of the league stage in this seasons Champions League and.... not sure where we go from here....

Lyra Lierse - Belgium (2053/54) Pro Jupiler League - Winners! We're now the best side in Belgium, and it shows! In the league stage we were imperious. win after win after win, it was brilliant. we finished so far ahead we went into the Champions Group stage a massive 9 points ahead. 1 win in 5 games later, with Anderlecht winning all their 5, we were second a point behind! luckily we responded brilliantly and wrapped up the title beating Anderlecht 3-2 in the last game of the season Croky Cup - Runners Up We sleepwalked into the final, had a really easy game, took our eye off the ball and somehow lost it 1-0. Champions League This is the big one! Being runners up last season we had to qualify for the league stage which we managed with fairly minimal fuss. The league stage was a mixed bag but we again managed it fairly comfortably. Rennes are a really good side at the moment and were just a little bit too strong for us sadly. Players So I started giving Sam Straetman 51A a few games. He looks great and can play in 3 positions (AML, AMC and S) which is hugely helpful. And he was great! Future wonderkid i reckon! Youth I got an elite talent! which, at this stage, is nuts!!! Career

Lyra Lierse - Belgium 2052/53 Pro Jupiler League - 2nd We were brilliant in the league stage excpet for a mad period around February where we went 6 games without a win. BUt we recovered and finished strongly, setting us up nicely for the championship group. We were so inconsistent in the championship group, but then so was everyone else. So we went into the final game knowing a victory would give us the title - we drew, and lost it. Croky Cup - WINNERS Second win in a row! in a competition I really don't care about! Champions League - Firrst knock out round For the first half od the league stage we were brilliant, getting some amazing results. But the second half meant we had to go into the first knockout round where we got atletico madrid. A brilliant result in Madrid in the first leg was completely undermined by an appalling performance at home. We are still a long way from champions league success! Players A nice surprise this - he was only a 2 star potential player that I used out if desperation when we had injuries/fatigue. And he did really well! turns out 2.5 PA is now a leading league player for us! Youth really poor preview and intake on paper, but again skewed by how good my best players are. 3 star potential is possible wonderkid territory! Career

what I do is stick them in remove.bg which turns them into a PNG file you can use in the game. like this:- I do that with all the kits i use. hope it works!

Lyra Lierse - Belgium - 2051/52 Pro Jupiler League - WINNERS Croky Cup - WINNERS Champions League - lost to Sporting in League stage play-off Europa League - Lost to Espanyol in last 16 A domestic double has to be a successful seasn, right? At home we were fantastic but sadly we couldn't translate that in continental competition, losing to Sporting in the league stage play-off in a tie we really should have won easily. At least next season we won't have to worry about the play-offs Youth A terrible preview delivers what looks like a terrible intake. But you never know i guess Career We still look a long way off a proper Champions League challenge. Mainly as my defence is so poor compare to midfield and attack, we can easily lose games 5-3.

Lyra Lierse - Belgium Pro Jupiler League - 2nd Croky Cup - Semi Final Champions League - Knock Out Round kinda frustrating season where we were so close yet in the end so far to winning anything. All we had to do in the league was win the final game... and we lost it We had our best season yet in the Champions League until we met Liverpool in the knock out round - they were just a class above. We were lucky to win the first leg and got what we deserved in the second leg Players I got a new wonderkid! which was nice, as he was really only playing because of injuries! he also got golden boy! Last years Golden Boy was having a good season up until March when.... Youth This year look like the best intake for a good while, although not quite up to 2039 standards. But still quite excited by the top 3 Where Are They Now? 2046 edition Francis Azeez - back up keeper, been out on loan, probably not gonna be any better than back up though Yaro Kraftt - looked such a good prospect and yet.... he is awful! i still have him for some reason. Geilson Felicio - Great player, golden boy winner, not a wonderkid but gonna be a first team player for years. Declared for Brazil but no caps yet Aldo Coppin - He's been out on loan and done ok. Probably will be a good squad/back up player Anthony Bosc - he went to Antwerp, no regrats Fabian Gielen - sold for 20k, far more than he is actually worth Pasquale Monti - defender, not a good one either. and i'm so desperate for decent defenders. Career

Lyra Lierse - Belgium 2049/50 Pro Jupiler League - 2nd Croky Cup - Winners Champions League - Round of 16 Another good solid season. we started the league with 13 straight wins but after christmas injuries and fatigue caught up with us and we couldn't quite maintain it. Still, second ain't bad Champions League was tough again but we're getting better. a 4-0 win away at Juve was the high point. In the end Man City were just too strong for us. we won the Croky Cup though, which was nice! Players We have such a strong squad now that a 3 star CA/PA is a potential wonderkid! One new wonderkid and one Golden Boy winner this season Youth Not sure if this is a good intake or not, our squad is so strong it's skewering all our ratings a bit. 3 star is potential wonderkid so who knows! Where are they now? 2045 edition It looked a good intake on paper. But was it? Loan Marechal - I had high hopes for him as I really needed a decent keeper. turns out I got myself a wonderkid who is now first choice for club and country and valued at £60m+! Lovely stuff! Joe Rhule - Yeah, no, sold last season for 14k. I thought he might make it but an easilt discouraged personality did for him in the end Enock Ndikumana - started poorly and slowly got worse and worse. Now works at B+Q Roan Vandenheede - I sold him to West Ham as I had so many players in his position and he's doing ok out there. Career

Lyra Lierse - Belgium 2048/49 Pro Jupiler League: 2nd Croky Cup: Runners Up Champions League: League Stage Pretty good season I guess but one where we ultimately fell short in every competition. The league was especially frustrating.... Champions League we were an absolute mile off. Youth Our youth intakes aren't as good as they are but that's mainly due to our first team being much better these days. 3 star CA gets described as a leading Pro Jupiler League player! Wonderkids My keeper and my Brazilian left winger! lovely stuff! Where are they now? 2044 Edition Was it a good intake? let's take a look! Riccardo Basili - sold at 18 for 1m. he then got shipped on for 24k. i got a good deal! Nilton Tavares - still in the squad. i thought he might make it but the time might have come to admit defeat Amin Saadi - I didn't think he'd be a wonderkid out of this intake but there you go. He was! First team regular, 25 Morrocan caps, lovely stuff1 Lukas Bodart - He's kinda fascinating. Easily my best youth at intake for years and years and yet...... he's not really improved at all from 16 to now. I'm so desperate to get him in somewhere I've even retrained him as an MC. Hopefully he'll be a late developer? he's still 2 star CA, 4 star Pot! career

Lyra Lierse - Belgium 2047/48 Pro Jupiler League - 1st Croky Cup - 8th Round Europa League - Quarter Final A really good season for us. Only 4 defeats in the league meant we breezed to the title. Even though one of those defeats was 6-0 to Standard. Ah well Europa League was fun, even though we fell to Toulouse in a quarter final tie we should have been able to win Youth Doesn't look like a save changing intake this one. Wonderkids We got another two proper ones! Thing is, i'm now so lopsided as they are all midfielders/attackers. my defence is so much weaker! Where are they now? Let's look at the 2043 intake! Just how good was it? 6 elite talents! But just how good were they? Sam Vermeulen - A proper wonderkid! My first choice left winger, valued around £40m, star pro jupiler player. 16 goals and 22 assists last season. He's great! Noah Pankert - second choice keeper but developing really nicely. Plays in cups, rated good pro jupiler with still plenty of room to improve Ryan Driesen - Poor in the end Sold for 160k, and i was lucky to get it! Mohamed Zaim - yeah, terrible, awful, now half a star potential, rotting in the U21s Roan Kramer - not good, sold for 200k, now valued much lower Sam Maes - another poor result. sold to Montpellier for 150k, doing poorly there Vermeulen and Pankert make it a fantastic intake though! Finance I'm now at the stage where I don't need to sell anyone to make any money. Which is helped by things like this:- Given how relatively poor my defence is right now, I could really do with him back in the side! Career
