RichG-2- Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 OK new game new start. My World league save was interesting but very one dimensional. On that basis I am trying something new. 8 Tier Belgian save starting at the bottom with nothing. I've got to thank nie jem frytek for inspiring me with a simple comment.The concept. My manager Ikey Solomon. Some may know as the man Fagin was based on for Oliver Twist. An apparent criminal who recruited young boys to pick pockets for him, So my game is to scour the world of football and recruit players before they become famous or world class. Trying to find an elusive "Artful Dodger" (striker) who can be my main pickpocket. I'll pay specific detail to reporting this players progress until a new "Dodger" can be found.The rules for my players.1. Cannot have played any first team football. Or any International appearances including U18, U19 or U21's. Basically totally unknown.2. Cannot be brought. Must be a free transfer or signed from youth team under "approach to sign".3. Must only sign players under the age of 20.4. Home grown player from our own youth draft.5. No affiliates, no loaning (in or out)6. All staff must be Belgian or past players.7. I am only allowed to scout youth teams (U19's)Starting in tier 8 and with nothing I am to rule the world of football with my band of young pickpockets.My Career To Date[TABLE=class: outer_border, width: 850, align: center][TR][TD=align: left]Club[/TD][TD=align: left]Season[/TD][TD=align: left]Div[/TD][TD=align: left]Pos[/TD][TD=align: left]BC[/TD][TD=align: left]BSC[/TD][TD=align: left]RC[/TD][TD=align: left]ECC[/TD][TD=align: left]EC[/TD][TD=align: left]ESC[/TD][TD=align: left]CWC[/TD][/TR][TR][TD=align: left]SKV Oostakker[/TD][TD=align: left]2014/15[/TD][TD=align: left]4e Provinciale A (Oost-Vlaanderen)[/TD][TD=align: left]1st[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][TD=align: left]Semi[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][/TR][TR][TD=align: left]SKV Oostakker[/TD][TD=align: left]2015/16[/TD][TD=align: left]3e Provinciale B (Oost-Vlaanderen)[/TD][TD=align: left]6th[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][TD=align: left]Group[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][/TR][TR][TD=align: left]KSK Meeuwen[/TD][TD=align: left]2016/17[/TD][TD=align: left]2e Provinciale A (Limburg)[/TD][TD=align: left]1st[/TD][TD=align: left]2nd[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][TD=align: left]Final[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][/TR][TR][TD=align: left]KSK Meeuwen[/TD][TD=align: left]2017/18[/TD][TD=align: left]1e Provinciale (Limburg)[/TD][TD=align: left]3rd[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][TD=align: left]Semi[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][/TR][TR][TD=align: left]KSK Meeuwen[/TD][TD=align: left]2018/10[/TD][TD=align: left]Vierde Klasse C[/TD][TD=align: left]7th[/TD][TD=align: left]4th[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][TD=align: left]-[/TD][/TR][/TABLE]Please click the year to see the relevant season reviewChampions, Promoted, Normal, RelegatedBC = Belgian Cup, BSC = Belgian Super Cup, RC = Regional Cup (If Entered) Cup, ECC = Champions League, EC = Euro CupESC = European Super Cup, CWC = Club World Championship[TABLE=class: outer_border, width: 850, align: center][TR][TD=align: left]Club[/TD][TD]Games[/TD][TD]Wins[/TD][TD]Draws[/TD][TD]Losses[/TD][TD]Gls For[/TD][TD]Gls Against[/TD][TD]GD[/TD][TD]Win %[/TD][TD]Leagues[/TD][TD]Cups[/TD][/TR][TR][TD=align: left]SVK Oostakker[/TD][TD]75[/TD][TD]39[/TD][TD]23[/TD][TD]13[/TD][TD]130[/TD][TD]78[/TD][TD]+52[/TD][TD]52%[/TD][TD]1[/TD][TD]-[/TD][/TR][TR][TD=align: left]KSK Meeuwen[/TD][TD]116[/TD][TD]70[/TD][TD]23[/TD][TD]23[/TD][TD]245[/TD][TD]125[/TD][TD]+120[/TD][TD]60%[/TD][TD]1[/TD][TD]-[/TD][/TR][TR][TD=align: left]Total[/TD][TD]191[/TD][TD]109[/TD][TD]46[/TD][TD]36[/TD][TD]375[/TD][TD]203[/TD][TD]+172[/TD][TD]57%[/TD][TD]2[/TD][TD][/TD][/TR][/TABLE]The Artful Dodgers Hall Of Fame[TABLE=class: outer_border, width: 800, align: center][TR][TD=align: left]Player Name[/TD][TD]Nat[/TD][TD]Years at club[/TD][TD]LeagueApps[/TD][TD]LeagueGoals[/TD][TD]CupApps[/TD][TD]CupGoals[/TD][TD]EuroApps[/TD][TD]EuroGoals[/TD][TD]IntApps[/TD][TD]IntGoals[/TD][TD]TotalApps[/TD][TD]TotalGoals[/TD][/TR][TR][TD=align: left]Roberto Martinez[/TD][TD]Belgium[/TD][TD]2014-16[/TD][TD]48[/TD][TD]6[/TD][TD]7[/TD][TD]1[/TD][TD]0[/TD][TD]0[/TD][TD]0[/TD][TD]0[/TD][TD]55[/TD][TD]7[/TD][/TR][TR][TD=align: left]Nico Camps[/TD][TD]Belgium[/TD][TD]2016-19[/TD][TD]54[/TD][TD]16[/TD][TD]12[/TD][TD]3[/TD][TD]0[/TD][TD]0[/TD][TD]0[/TD][TD]0[/TD][TD]67[/TD][TD]16[/TD][/TR][TR][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][/TR][TR][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][/TR][/TABLE]Statistics are for duration of career at club to honour those who have served as the 'Artful Dodger' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichG-2- Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 The Club OostakkerBased in Ghent3000 seater stadium and a semi synthetic pitch. Not sure how that will go but lets see. We have 15 season ticket holders who have all paid £6 for the privileged of having their pockets picked each week.First team squad looks pretty good. Will start scouting now and maybe bring in one or two young lads to start building as i have a few 15 year old's in the first team which is not great.The ManagerIkey SolomanReputation and skillsAll above board and appropriate form my level.The LeaguesMost of the ones generating the worlds best players.

RichG-2- Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 May I ask why Belgium? Belgium is nice. Its not to difficult if only going for youth or young players so there is a chance for domination and success on the home front before going into Europe to take on the big guns. Also the assimilated foreigners are better here so it takes less time to become a national citizen. And the overseas players rule is a little more relaxed as well. Having said that I can only scout Belgium at present and we are amateur so can't pay any wages so its all from our youth team at the moment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its a great one. I went for them as I watched Bayern vs Dortmund at the weekend and love the Yellow and Black. I will knock a kit up in my kit designer tonight to give it a better feel. I didn't even realize there were enough places in Belgium for 8 tiers Yeah if you search it on Wiki its surprising how many levels there are in Belgium. Some strange cup/league format on the go as well which i need a season to get my head around before i post about it. I'll probably play a season then review it with tournament information.

nie jem frytek Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I've got to thank nie jem frytek for inspiring me with a simple comment. No problem.

RichG-2- Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 The story so farWell I am not allowed to scout outside of Belgium at present. That sucks. We are also Amateur so not paying any wages so becoming professional is a must as soon as we can.I have a few potential 'Dodgers' But I will wait until the window closesHowever pre season was bad. Assistant takes control of that so it was all about drilling tactics into the players.However 5-0 loss to our U19's was poor lolI have taken over team selection now. We have made a good solid start. No league games just some funny league/cup format. I appear to be in two separate qualifying leagues which make no sense at all so time for some Wiki research I think.As you can see crowds are flocking in to see the Oost' rampage the opposition. Regarding fine tuning kits are done so club is all set and ready to go for the season ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichG-2- Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 S.K.V OostakkerWell generally things are going pretty well. Average age of my team is 19 so having to work hard on development and training. Scraping through some games and hanging in there and hoping for a promotion as its needed with my average attendance only being 47 Sitting nicely in the promotion play off places though but next game is vs team just above me. Scoring goals which is always a bonus. I hate a team that can't score goals.The Artful DodgerI have chosen my 'Artful Dodger' for the season. Roberto Martinez is his name and he is a youthful 16 year old. I will work hard on his development but he is doing well so far.I will track his development on a monthly basis and report any movements or significant development.

RichG-2- Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 SVK OostakkerWell we are hanging in there. Teams are coming in and poaching my players. Lost 3 now at the end of the season. Tried to hold on to them but they wanted money and we haven't got any. Still grinding out Results thoughTable is looking good and i have 2 games vs Bottom of the table in my last 8 which is nice. We had a heavy defeat to our local rivals 4-0 but we still have a chance of promotion.The cup is going well also. We do not appear to be in the main cup competitions. However in my regional tournament I am in the Semi-Final. All the teams are 3 divisions higher than me though. Going to be tough to win it.Meanwhile the Artful Dodger has returned from injury to inspire us to winning ways again.He was out for a few weeks but back and in the goals again.

RichG-2- Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 SKV Oostaker 2015/16 Season UpdateThings are tough a the Oost'Finding it hard to get any kind of form going this season. We have had a nice little run though. With so many new players coming in from the reserves and youth finding balance is impossible. Having done some research I am in a proper Amateur level. With me not being able to hold on to players it is impossible to get a regular blend going in my team. We are still hard to beat and I am having to have regular team meetings to keep morale upThe Beker van Oost was disappointing this year.

I could just not stop drawing games. We would get near the top places then drop off again. With the sack looming it got very tough. Time after time we threw away leads to draw games. The inexperience really showed in our team. Not being professional I could not hold on to players to build a regular team.Final TableAs you can see we were not a million miles away. We threw a 2-0 lead away at Vinderhoute which in the end cost us I think. Add that to too many home draws we just could not finish teams off with our inexperience. Very disappointing the board were not happy with this.The Artful DodgerHad another good consistent season.

They also lifted the Bekker van Limburg last season.Situated in the North East of Belgium they play in the Limburg regional leagues. The stadium holds 2,000 and they are an amateur club.

The league seems to be in 3 stages for the play off's so need to make sure I keep up my form. Overall though very pleased.I was however disappointed to go out if the cup in the second round. With the draw I thought we could go further. We are in the Limburg cup quarter final though.The league is starting to take a nice shape and I think we have the skill and experience to beat anyone from results so far.The Artful DodgerGot myself a nice 17 year old striker this time out.

RichG-2- Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 KSK Meeuwen: Season 4 2017/18 End of Season ReviewFinal Table.3rd Placed. Promoted via play off'sWhat a season. Started well, faded, picked back up and almost threw it all away at the end. A real roller coaster of a season. Finally we scrapped promotion via the play off's. It's so hard now though as we are still not paying any wages and we are entering into the 4th tier of Belgian football. There is no sign of the board allowing any wages to be paid so its still tough trying to poach players.I'm looking forwards to the challenge ahead though!Promoted via play off's. Ran a close final and finally won 7-6 on penalties!Beker van Limburg CupOnly made it to Semi Final this year. Disappointed to have not won this cup while I had the chanceThe Artful DodgerA mixed season for the dodger.As you will see in the next section we had a prolific front line making it hard for the dodger to break into the first team this year. In the next league he may face another year on the bench.Again not much statistical progress but being amateur does not allow for much growthSome very good players last season and good goal scorers.

dllu Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Why is it that so many Asian players in this game look more like extras from the Walking Dead...? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichG-2- Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 lol no idea. Never seen walking dead. He's Belgian not Asian. I must say a lot of players have darker skin though it seems Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dllu Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Being a Belgian citizen doesn't stop him from being of Asian descent. The last name sounds Vietnamese... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichG-2- Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Well it all started so badly. After the first few games it became very obvious my good team in the Amateur division was no where good enough. Big losses and poor performances we putting us in real danger.The only option was to scout and take some risks. I did not want a relegation battle. So I signed seven 5 star scouted players under the age of 20 and with 0 appearances. They seem to have steadied the ship while I dump dead wood and look to bring in more new talent in the new year.(s2018) just refers to 's' signed and year (2018), I have other codes but that covers new signings for now.Results & FixturesAs you can see we are building up nicely and my players have done the business and created some momentum.As you can see we have now built a solid league position and hopefully we can build on that for next seasonWe had a great result last time out showing how good my new signings are Overall I am now happy with the squad and hopefully now I have my Continental A Licence I will be able to attract some bigger names to Meeuwen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichG-2- Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 Oh my! So many jobs available this summer. Season update coming but I have also applied for the role of Royal Antwerp manager in Division 3 after we did not go up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichG-2- Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 KSK Meeuwen: Season 5 2018/19 End of Season ReviewFinal Table.7th Placed.A bit of a roller coaster this season. Started so badly. I had real problems with my squad and their ability. After coming out of non league football this was always going to be a step up. However my 7 signings over through October - December steadied the ship and put us on the bring of promotion. Sitting 2nd in the table with 4 games left (3 at home) I could not believe the chance we had. Unfortunately we collapsed and won 1 drew 2 and lost 1 to drop to 7th in the table.My team is looking good but not sure how far I can take KSK Meeuwen. Maybe next season will be my last hereTeam did well this season with some nice performances. Overall a steady season and one to build onBeker van Limburg CupDumped Early in the Belgian cup this year 0-5 by Royal Antwerp. Maybe next year lolThe Artful DodgerHad a much better season this year. Tended to be a bit of a super sub after the arrival of Heintz my 19 year old striker. Not sure whether Heintz will take over the mantle of 'Dodger' this seasonOne thing is for sure I am going to need a few more players but we are running out of money fast.Around the cups (Domestic and Europe)Belgium[TABLE=width: 600, align: center][TR][TD]Belgian League[/TD][TD]Belgian Cup[/TD][TD]Belgian Super Cup[/TD][/TR][TR][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][/TR][TR][TD]Club Brugge[/TD][TD]Oostende 4Lommel United 0[/TD][TD]Club Brugge 2Cercle Brugge 1[/TD][/TR][/TABLE]Europe[TABLE=width: 800, align: center][TR][TD]Super Cup[/TD][TD]Champions League[/TD][TD]Europa League[/TD][TD]Club World Championship[/TD][/TR][TR][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][/TR][TR][TD]Bayern Munich 4Inter-Milan 2[/TD][TD]Chelsea 1Juventus 0[/TD][TD]Arsenal 3Liverpool 2[/TD][TD]Bayern Munich 4Santa Fe 1[/TD][/TR][/TABLE] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
