XaW Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I wish I had him in my side got sold for 10k in the holiday year Sucks. Other players in their RL-squad who I know about are Gøran van den Burgt (the fans are paying his wages) and Andreas Moen (fans are also paying his wages). They have a rather hardcore group of (rich) fans who are paying much of the wages in the club. Unfortunately they've never had many fans. When they played in Tippeligaen opponents fans used to sing "20,000 empty seats" to them since they played at Ullevål with a small fan base. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxslow Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Yeah they are the best 2 players at the club, Gøran van den Burgt likes getting booked though. I managed to survive the takeover . I have also made it to the Quarter finals of the cup with really easy draws so far. Edit: Just got draw against the only 2nd division club left in the compition so I have a good chance on getting to the semis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyquest409 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 NK Třinec - Season Review - 2025/26 - Czech First Division Back to the top League Table - Past Positions - Finances - Club Info - Facilities After three 2nd places behind Mlada Boleslav, we've finally toppled them to claim our third Gambrinus Liga title. In the end it was quite comfortable, wrapping up the title with a game to spare and ending with a 7 point cushion. European results A very long season in Europe, with 16 games in total. We qualified for the CL group stage without conceding a goal, then finished 3rd behind Man City and Schalke. It felt a bit like we missed an opportunity here, had we beaten Partizan away, which we should have, we've have taken 2nd. We eased past Fenerbahce, sneaked past Sporting, but just came up short against AC Milan in the quarters. Pohár České pošty results Fixture congestion meant we played a second string side in the quarter final, and it showed in the 2nd leg. Squad stats (YP08a)Stanislav Sacha became our first choice striker this season, as age and injuries restricted Bednar, and finished as top scorer with 29 goals in all competitions. (YP06f)Martin Hanus once again led the defence superbly. (YP03d)Martin Vyskocil became our fourth Czech international. First time in 11 years that Petr Bednar hasn't finished as our top-scorer Youth candidates 2026 Two tags, including one with 5* potential. Fingers crossed. Board/Finances The board again continue to back me with every request. We've recently added 8,000 seats to our new stadium, but they're more than happy to add another 8,165 to bring the capacity up to 32658. We've got 'top' training and youth facilities, but they've agreed to upgrade them yet again as well.

Win the league - Success! Aims for next season Reach the CL knock-out stage Defend title Improve youth recruitment Delighted to win the title. Mlada struggled early on having sold their best striker to Juventus and lost their manager to Sparta Prague (who has now, unsurprisingly, been sacked), and once we'd built up a lead over them, we managed to keep them at bay. Again facilities have been improved and now can't get much better. Next step is to start improving youth recruitment but the only option at present is to cut funding. Money-bags Karvina spent about £6m over the course of the season but floundered to 11th, two places lower than last year. Still one to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

larxus Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Season 2020 Review FK Linköping Season Review: 3 times in a row for us as we clinched the league title yet again, although this time round it was a REEEAALLLY tight contest. We only won it on the last day of the league season. Our woeful form in Europe continues yet again, as we got eliminated in the group stages, winning only one match there and conceding lots of goals. The difference in the quality of the players are just too wide. Although I've brought in some players to boost the squad, we're still not Europe-level yet. Gonna take sometime to reach that level, but my plan is to bring in players below 19 into the squad so that they will be home grown by the time they reach 21. If I'm gonna rely on my youth intake, probably will have to wait till 2080. Hahah.

Andrew Haines Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Austria Salzburg Season 2017/18 - Tipp3-Bundesliga - 5th Overview A second successive 5th place finish and slight improvement in Europe did not make for a great season. I didn't really adequately replace Nemchenko up front, young Argentine striker Benitez who cost £2.8m only scored ten goals and was shunted out to the wing to make way for young Austrian Stefan Herzog who only managed two goals in his eleven games. 22 year old Austrian Werner Kager was left to take up the goals scoring mantle of the prolific Ukrainian and hit 27 goals, only half of these were in the league however. I've moved to strengthen the side by bringing in two quality foreigners, Japanese winger Shin'Ichi Iizuka and Brazilian striker Capitao. Their added quality should raise the level of the team and allow me to compete further up the table. Sadly they will take the spaces of two young Austrians Herzog and Daniel Neumann who I bought in January and want to develop quickly. With European commitments though they should still get a good number of games. Bundesliga Most of the season was spent in mid-table, although after nine games we dropped to the bottom of the league. It wasn't the most impressive season and by the end the best we could hope for was to hold on to fifth place and take the last Europa League spot. Luckily the cup final was competed by Red Bull Salzburg and Rapid Wien who both qualified for europe through the league. http://imageshack.us/a/img145/3464/2019leaguetable.jpg Europa League Olimpija of Slovenia were turned over comfortably with the job essentially done in the first leg with a 3-1 away win. Old adversaries from my FC Jazz game HJK gave me a shock with a 1-0 win in Austria. We huffed and puffed to a 2-0 away win to ensure progression but in truth were probably second best and deserved elimination. In the playoff we were lucky to escape from Moscow with a 3-3 draw, Dinamo having lead three times and requiring three equalisers including a 91st minute penalty. A comprehensive 4-0 victory at home meant that we qualified for the group stage.

Their places are under threat with incoming transfers but they should still get sufficient gametime to ensure their development. http://imageshack.us/a/img21/8618/2019neumann.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img607/4886/2019herzog.jpg Other promising foreign players are Fabio Benitez and Rogerio. http://imageshack.us/a/img689/9250/2019benitez.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img24/7569/2019rogerio.jpg Rankings, Reputation etc. Austria stayed 13th place in Europe and are duking it out with Scotland for the automatic group place that 12th would give them. http://imageshack.us/a/img12/2618/2019europeanqualificati.jpg Other Austria are remarkably well placed in a difficult group.

I was set on going just for young Austrians but when a player like Capitao comes along at that price I had to go for him . I'm bracing myself for a request to move to a bigger club soon from Peyrek, I won't be selling him cheap though as he could be good enough to be my keeper for the duration. The extra european spot was because Austria gets 5 spaces but one goes to the cup winner. Because both finalists qualifies for the champions league I picked up the extra space.

A good run in Europe for you, Andrew Haines. Too bad you didn't get a proper replacement for Nemchenko. Keep going though, as the teams in Austria struggles to build their team imo.

My next season summary will be up soon. Writing it now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XaW Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 XaW - Wiener Sportklub - Season 2017/18 Table | Past positions | Transfers | Squad | Finances This season can be summarized in one word; injuries! Well, another fitting word would also be success. We had a great season, but still had loads of injuries. I got a couple of youngsters from our academy who made their debuts this season and also bought some other promising teenagers who did well. In the league we started out good and just kept on going winning the league comfortably by 20 points in the end. It was secured after about 30 matches so I let some more youngsters play in the final matches of the season and still did good. We have some promising youngster coming through. Still, the core of my team as still quite young and most of the first team is based upon 19-21 year old with the occasional older or younger player. In the ÖFB-Samsung-Cup we once again retained the title. The first two round were child's play as we got non-league teams. In the 3rd round we had our toughest match away at Red Bull Salzburg. We scrapped through a 1-0 victory to progress to the quarter finals. Two easy victories against SKN St. Pölten and FC Wacker Innsbruck made way for the final. Once again our opponent in the final was an Erste Liga team. This time FC Admira Wacker Mödling. Fringe player Baba Collins got another match because of injuries and scored twice to give us a good lead before Admira Wacker Mödling reduced our lead. Youngster Marcel Verdel (YP5d) scored his first goal for the club to secure the title. Since we did well in Europe last season, as well as Austria Wiens good run in Europe league reaching the quarter finals, Austria improved their standing to get a team directly into the group stage of Champions League. Unfortunately for us this don't come into play before next season so we started in the 3rd qualifying round. We got a surprisingly easy draw against Neftçi Baku of Azerbaijan. 6-1 at home and 4-0 away got us through to the play-off. We once again had Lady Luck on our side and got another easy draw getting FC Vaslui of Romania as our final opponent before the group stage. A 5-1 win away got us of to a great start, but a mind blowingly poor performance at home saw us lose 2-1, but still enough to get us through. We were handed a tough draw getting a group of Atlético Madrid of Spain, Paris Saint-Germain of France and FC Twente of Holland. Somehow we won all our matches in the group finishing on top! I've posted one match further up in the thread, but I'm still surprised of how well we did going through. We drew Sporting CP in the first knockout round and after a 3-1 loss away I had little hope of going through. We did our best though and went into a 2-0 lead at home, but a crushing goal for Sporting CP just before full time knocked us out. Still, a great go in Europe and something to build on to next season. Financially we made truckloads of cash once again. We had our youth and training facilities improved during the season and a new improvement accepted by the board. We also got an expansion approved to the stadium and all will be done a bit into next season. I've got many great players and here are the first 11 and some others- GK: Thomas Dähne - Another good season by our goalie. Got voted gk of the season as well. DR: Ivan Miletic - A good season. Becoming Mr. Reliable as he rarely plays a poor game. DC: William Paz - Another great season. Will play in this summers World Cup for Honduras. DC: Óscar - Became our captain this season and lead the defense. DL: José Enrique Sandoval - Improving like there's no tomorrow! Celtic are sniffing around him, but I want to hang on to him. MR: Pepe - Had him on loan last season and his contract expired by newyears. Got him in and he did great. MC: Alexander Witt - Plagued by injuries this season, but did well when he played. MC: Edgardo Morales - Also injured quite a bit and are still out with a dislocated shoulder. ML: George Lebese - Assisted like a boss this season. FC: Frank Pflügler - Very up and down this season. Got thrown out of the team at one point, but got right in again because of injuries to other players. FC: Dennis Doesburg - Only played the first half of the season due to injuries. Haven't played since November. Still a great season. Other notable players: Jonathan Tissot - Played great before he broke his foot towards the end of the season. Semir Ukic (YP5b) - One from the academy. Got quite the number of matches and has been called up for the national team, but have yet to get his debut there. Radek Machacek - Bought this kid because I think he'll be a great player. Got quite the number of matches before he also broke his foot. Arlind Hamzaj - Has been with us for 5 years, but did well this season. Also scored quite the number of goals on free kicks. Up and coming youth players: Andreas Sokolov (YP5a) - Great gk prospective. This he could be great if he keeps his development up. Philipp Koch (YP6b) - Got his debut this season, but need some more progression. Marcel Verdel (YP6d) - Got a couple of matches and even scored in the cup final to get his first goal. Kai Ulrich (YP6a) - Could become a good right winger.

Oxslow Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 The problem is with getting a stadium so early latter on in this challenge I will not be getting another for around 25 years so even with expansions I will be stuck on a 10k ground if I am luck trying to win the Champions League. Edit: 200 caps that is amazing especially for such a good international side. Edit 2: I have decided to let the board off because I did not realize they managed to get a sponsorship for the deal that covers over have of the bank loan repayments each year for the next 5 years.

Andrew Haines Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Austria Salzburg Season 2019/20 - Tipp3-Bundesliga - 1st Overview Despite a stuttering end to the season, a league and cup double were secured with a game to spare. Pre-season signing Capitao was immense and scored 28 goals before suffering a broken leg in late March that ruled him out for seven months. Japanese international Shin'ichi Iizuka shifted from the right wing where he had aquitted himself well to take Capitao's spot in the attack and weighed in with 12 goals. To date Capitao's stats haven't taken too much of a hit from his time out injury but he will not be fit until September/October. Iizuka's form saw growing interest in him and I was able to arrange a £9.5m transfer to Fenerbache. This was along with the sales of Egyptian midfielder Wael Reda to Dinamo Kiev for £2.7m and I am currently in the process of negotiating to sell Fabio Benitez for between £4-5m. I will be plowing these funds into the team to try to redevelop it in the shape I want it. The board has tried to build a new stadium now four times and each time the board turned down the request meaning I am stuck with a capacity of only 1800. tipp3-Bundesliga T-Mobile Despite a stuttering finish the title was secured with a game to spare following a 4-0 win away at Austria Wien. http://imageshack.us/a/img833/426/2020leaguetable.jpg The excellent form of the season saw my players pick up 1st place (for Iizuka) and 2nd (for Capitao) in the Bundesliga player of the year awards. http://imageshack.us/a/img716/2963/2020playeroftheyear.jpg OFB-Samsung Cup A 1-0 victory over Austria Wien saw us pick up the cup for the first time. http://imageshack.us/a/img607/2062/2020cupfinal.jpg Europa League Maccabi Netanya and Ventspils were seen off in style in the Europa League qualifying rounds.

It is going to be difficult to get him on a new contract but he still has three years to run on his current one. http://imageshack.us/a/img145/9946/2020peyrek.jpg Iizuka was a star and I was developing a bit of affection for him. Still, I couldn't turn down the sort of money that was put on the table for him and I was delighted to get £9.5m. http://imageshack.us/a/img248/429/2020iizuka.jpg Unfortunately Capitao picked up a broken leg in a 1-0 home win over Wiener Neustadt. Hopefully he will recover to pick up where he left off in the new season. http://imageshack.us/a/img689/5892/2020capitao.jpg The undoubted beneficiary from Capitao's misfortune was young Austrian winger Daniel Neumann who came into the right midfield berth as Iizuka was shifted upfront. Alongside midfielder Rene Aigner he constitutes the young Austrian presence in the team. http://imageshack.us/a/img138/9195/2020neumann.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img822/5497/2020aigner.jpg 16 year old close season signings Pierre Weibert and Erik Engel will get significant numbers of games next season as I think they can be fast tracked with a view to them being first choices in a couple of years time. http://imageshack.us/a/img716/6969/2020engel.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img62/3245/2020weibert.jpg Rankings, Reputation etc. Austria retained 12th place meaning they keep an automatic group place in the Champions League groups. http://imageshack.us/a/img9/4868/2020europeanqualificati.jpg Other Austria failed to qualify for the 2020 European Championships in Turkey finishing fourth in an admittedly strong group. http://imageshack.us/a/img825/4133/2020eurosqualifying.jpg Champions League - Barcelona p1-1 Chelsea (http://imageshack.us/a/img202/515/2020championsleaguefina.jpg) Europa League - Zenith 1-0 Schalke Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Haines Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Just played Iker Casillas. He's got over 200 caps! I don't think I've ever seen a player with over 200 caps! I think the real life record is 180 or something like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Haines Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I give up the board is trying to send me bankrupt. After winning the league and getting promoted for the second year running we aslo came runners up in the cup again. We only managed to play 4 games in the rented stadium the board decided to add under soil heating. now the have splashed out 6.5million on a 5k stadium . I might be taking a break from this team for a while really starting to annoy me. I'd always take the new stadium if offered. I'm getting well fed up of my 1800 stadium and repeatedly getting turned down for a new one by the council... £6.5m might sound a lot but I assume it was mainly loans etc. Once you kick into gear the repayments should be dwarfed by other incomes.

XaW Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Great season there, Andrew Haines! Good job on securing the title. Do you get directly into the group stage, or do you have to go through play-offs first? Enger looks like a great prospect. Good to see the board got a good deal, Oxslow. Should be fairly easy to get the stadium expanded though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxslow Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Oxslow - Norway - Lyn Fotball - Season 2014 Season Review I won the league but I could have really done with a bigger squad I lost a few games near the end because of suspensions and injuries. I still won the division with games to spare. The cup run had a touch of irony about it this year. I got my revenge on Rosenborg for beating me in last year final. By beating the 2 - 0 in the semi finals. In the finals I met Vålerenga who I beat in the semis last year. I lost on penalties to get the runner up spot for the second year. The board is building a new 5k stadium costing £6.5m.

Thebaker Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Newington 2034/35 Table|Squad|Cupfixtures|Transfers The best season yet with passage through to the group stages of the CL again, although the tie against Shamrock was closer than i expected with a 2-1 home win followed by a 1-1 draw. Once in what looked a tough group the team played out of their skin and qualified with a game to spare leaving my reserves to defeat PSV in the last match. In the 1st KO rd the team played out 2 matches against Schalke with few chances for either side but Newington's slightly better finishing led to the team winning on away goals. In the qtr-final the team faced Celtic and it looked good in the first leg away as with 67 mins gone the team was 2-1 up and in control. Injuries to LB McCarthy and CM Dickson inside a minute turned the match as Celtic went on to score 3 times and win 4-2. They both missed the home leg along with Blazquez and Jinenez leaving the side short of my best players. both FB's has nightmares, the LB was my 4th choice and the team struggled to a 2-2 draw. The title was close for a while but as has been the case for several seasons once the new year came around the greater class told and Newington moved away from Linfield. They also won the County Antrim Shield and All-Ireland cup. The board approved an increase in youth and training facilities along with a small increase in the number of seats, finances are steady now as shareholders now take out the 4-5 million profit i make each year. On the transfer front there were no major transfers out, i let a few youngsters go and Martin left after his second stint. I tried without success to find a really good CB but none were willing to join. My increase to 2 stars rep did allow me to sign this foward at the end of the year, at 4 stars rated my best striker. Blazquez missed 6 months through injury and has noticeably declined, Waterworth showed he can take up McAlinden's role although his low natural fitness is a concern as he seems to need frequent resting. Several of the best players are making increasing noises about leaving and i think a major rebuild could be on the way.

Do you get directly into the group stage, or do you have to go through play-offs first? Enger looks like a great prospect. Cheers. I went straight into the groups so £7m straight into the bank Tough draw though, AC Milan, PSG and Celtic. I fancy my chances of third place and the Europa League knock out rounds though.

Andrew Haines Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Well done on the double Andrew Haines. Shame that Capitao broke his leg but you still got a bargain out of him for 80k. Capitao is back now and I'm easing him back in. His stats didn't take much of a hit fortunately. I feel fortunate to have found him now, I had loads of cash in the summer but really struggled to spend it without going over the odds on average players.

Oxslow Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Well I have just come runners up in the cup and the league . Then I had a 10 second power cut while saving and lost most of that season . not sure yet on what I am going to do. The board was not happy with me because I was not using enough youth players so I might start again focusing on them or switch to another team/country/challenge. I reall dont want to play that season over again I dont think I would be happy unless I came runners up in both again and the chances of that are slim.

Oxslow Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Is there anything wrong with holidaying for 2 years at the start to pick a team so there is a better chance different teams will be promoted? I know you would not be able to pick a team that got relegated then promoted straight back again? Thanks jonnyquest409 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
