Makoto Nakamura Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 January 2030 We're top of the league! Although in the game against Go Ahead Eagles I may have to have words with our penalty taker... Transfers: 3 Players in and I think 2 of the 3 will have a big future here. Frank Morotti - 2.5*/5* - Age 18 Peter Pillar - 1.5*/3.5* - Age 21 Vadym Rudnytskyi - 1.5*/4.5* - Age 19 With injuries at the moment Frank Morotti is one of the starting DC's, the other being Jiri Hruska who celebrated his 17th birthday in January meaning that the heart of our defence has a combined age of 35, or 54 if you include starting DL 19 year old Nassim Bettadj!

Makoto Nakamura Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 February 2030 The dream continues! Even with the defeat to PSV we stay top of the league on goal difference in what has easily become a 2 horse race for the title, in the KNVB Beker Quarter Final we eased past 4th place FC Eindhoven and our reward will be facing 15th placed FC Dordecht away from home whilst the other Semi Final sees Jupiler League side FC Twente face Feyenoord at home. In the Europa League we were very nervous in the away leg to Kayserispor but came away with a great away goal and beating them 2-0 at home has seen us advance to the 2nd Knockout Round where we face Sparta Praha and here's how the rest of the draws look: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 March 2030 We start off with disappointment, a very bad 3-1 loss to FC Dordrecht in the KNVB Beker Semi-Final, it was all set up for us, 1st vs 2nd in the league in the Final but no, it will be 13th (currently) vs 2nd in the league after Feyenoord beat FC Twente 3-2aet. In the league we're now 2 points clear AND have a game in hand and in the Europa League we hit a new level beating Sparta Praha 6-1 on aggregate and here's the rest of the draws again. Ouch.

Makoto Nakamura Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 April 2030 A good showing against Chelsea and we end up going out 9-5 on aggregate so yes we conceded 9, but we also scored 5 against a very good Chelsea squad! In the league we've stuttred slightly with away draws against lowly Achilles '29 and SBV Vitesse but with just 2 games left to play we sit 3 points clear. In the KNVB Beker Final between FC Dordecht and Feyenoord a 9 man Dordecht came from 2-0 down to win on penalties! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 End of Season 2029/30 League Champions! Neither ours or Feyenoords form towards the end was perfect but we ended up doing just enough to win the league on the final day, which in my opinion is quite bad because I'll be doing a squad clear-out and getting rid of some older players next season which means the new generation will have to deal with some higher expectations...

Makoto Nakamura Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 2030/31 Pre-Season Another good pre-season where we faced some bigger clubs and we have a better transfer and wage budget although we're spending £40,000 p/w less than in the screenshot. The board want Europa League qualification and the media predicts us to finished 3rd, I hope the youngsters can step up. Hector Ramos - 1.5*/5* - Age 18 Pini Bardea - 3.5*/5* - Age 18 Camilo Ramirez - 2*/5* - Age 18 Marcus Morgan - 1*/5* - Age 16 Edi Dadic - 1.5*/5* - Age 17 Park Min-Hyuk - 1.5*/4.5* - Age 18 Pini is the player I'm most looking forward too and with most of the older players leaving (even William Antonio Maldonado!) it brings our average age down to 20.93, the youngest squad in the division, FC Dordecht have the highest average age at 28, and just look at our potential!

Makoto Nakamura Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 August 2030 Avery tough start to the season, we easily dispatched FC Dordrecht in Johan Cruijff Schaal and then we face 3 of the top 5 from last season! Despite this we still got 10 points from a possible 12 so I'm over the moon with that! Also the Champions League Groups have been made: We'll get nothing from Real Madrid but I'm hoping for European football after Christmas with this draw.

Makoto Nakamura Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Tycoon Update Modena - 12 seasons after the takeover and the chairman is still pumping money into the club, despite this they're still yo-yoing between Serie A and B but at least they have close to top facilities now. Their record transfer was back in 2025/26 with Patrick Bamford signing for £6,078,000. Avellino - Getting better as they finished up in 6th in Serie A last season, their record transfer is £12,225,000 (£15.25m with bonuses) for Italian regen Gianluca Cavallari from Bournemouth in the 2027/28 season. Saint-Etienne - The nearly men of French football, top 4 every season since the takeover but finishing 2nd just once and never winning Ligue 1, they have won the Coupe de la Ligue 3 times and been runners up a further 3 times though so they've found their forte. Their record transfer was in 2028/29 where they spent £38,047,000 on Brazilian regen Paulo from AC Milan. Targu Mures - 3 Times Romanian Liga I winners and still growing with their stadium capacity being increased 3 times so far, 1st up to 9,504 and now up to a rounded 12,000 seats. Their record transfer is only £1,866,000 (2.9m with bonuses)for German regen Dennis Altenhoff from 1860 Munchen in the 2027/28 season. Pacos de Ferreira - Now a top 4 team in Portugal after finishing 5th, 5th, 3rd, 4th, 4th, 4th for the last 6 seasons and also managed by Cristiano Ronaldo since 2026 and winning their first silverware, the Taca da Liga in 2029. Their record transfer hasn't changed since last time. Dundee - Have finished 5th, 4th, 2nd, 4th, 2nd, 3rd since their takeover and have one Scottish League Cup to their name. Their transfer record happened just 10 in-game days ago (20th August 2030) in spending £7,685,000 for France international Sami Douillard from Bologna. Trapani - They nearly made it to Serie A. Nearly. Promoted from the Lega Pro in 2025/26 they then finished 10th then 4th in Serie B, then in 2029/30 they finish 20th in Serie B and this season are back in Lega Pro although they're joint favourites for promotion. Their record transfer was in 2025/26 when they signed Italian Gioacchino Buonfrate for £1,547,000 (£2m with bonuses) from FC Bari. 3 seasons and 93 appearances later and they sell him to Trapani for £875K. Tosno - Taken over in April 2025 Tosno have since finished 3rd, 9th, 3rd and 2nd in the Russian Premier Division, their stadium has increased 3 times, 1st to 3,486 then to 5,229 and now to 10,000. They've also finished Russian Cup and Super Cup runners up and their record transfer is £10,543,000 (£11.5m with bonuses) for Russian international Alexey Maiorov from Zenit St. Petersburg in the 2026/27 season and after just 33 appearances in the 2027/28 season they sell him to AS Monaco for £20.5m! Club Brugge - Have won the Jupiler Pro League 3 times since being taken over in July 2025 and finished 2nd in the 1 season where they didn't win it. Their record transfer was in the 2026/27 season where they spent £10,193,000 for Israeli international Eylon Almog from Feyenoord. 1 season and 8 appearances later and he's sold to Burnley for £4.4m. Videoton - Have won the OTP Bank Liga for the last 3 seasons and Magyar Kupa winners twice since being taken over in September 2025, their record signing happened back in 2016/17, way before the takeover. Varnsdorf - Still yet to be promoted to the top tier of Czech football after finishes of 10th, 5th, 6th and 3rd in the Narodni Liga, but at least they are improving season on season. Their record transfer happened this season by spending £108,000 on Czech player Vladimir Vencl from Fastav Zlin. Watford - Taken over in February 2027 they finished 18th and were relegated from the Premier League before winning the Championship at the 1st time of asking then finishing 17th and 16th in the next 2 seasons so they are surviving but only just. They broke their transfer record last season by spending £20,095,000 Italian youth international Denis De Angelis from Arsenal. Panathinaikos - Taken over in April 2028 they've finished 3rd, 2nd and 7th in the Greek Superleague since the tycoon joined. They broke their transfer record just 1 in-game day ago (31st August 2030) by spending £15,808,000 on France youth international Stephane Ekobo from PSG. Chernomorets (RUS) - Taken over in June 2028 and they finished 18th in the 2nd tier of Russian football in 2028/29 meaning they were relegated to the unplayable Russian Second Division - South and are yet to be re-promoted and I can't see their records because of this. NK Radomlje - Taken over in September 2028 they were promoted from the Slovenian 2nd tier at the first attempt and finished 8th in the top tier last season, their record transfer was last season as well when they spent £414,000 on Slovenian U19 international (who's now 28) Gregor Zahovic from NK Domzale. Aris Thessaloniki - Taken over in April 2029 and won the Greek 2nd tier at the first attempt, they broke their transfer record this season by spending £1,820,000 on Paraguayan international Hector Villasanti from Real Sociedad. Bristol City - Taken over in May 2029 they finished 10th in the Championship last season. They broke their transfer record last season by spending £13,685,000 on French youth international Eloge Kouyombo from Arsenal. Livingston - Taken over in January 2030 they haven't really had much time to do well, they got relegated from the Scottish Championship last season and sit 7th in Scottish League One after 5 games. They broke their transfer record this season by spending £127,000 on Scotsman Thomas McKenna from Championship side Greenock Morton. Chernomorets Odesa - Taken over in June 2030 so just 2 months ago and they've already smashed their old transfer record of £838,000 by spending £2,991,000 on Nigerian youth international Stephen Obodo from Dinamo Zagreb. YuAS - Taken over in July 2030 they've had even less time for change and as such they've broken no records yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we beat Krasnodar to put us 2nd in the group at the halfway stage. In the league we drop to 2nd with a game still in hand but PSV are 4 points clear now, I don't want them getting much further clear though.

Makoto Nakamura Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 December 2030 The league is hotting up now, 5 points separating the top 5 and then a 6 point gap to AZ in 6th whilst we sit nicely in the middle of that group on 37 points, in the Champions League we were poor in the defeat to Real Madrid where our only consolation was an own goal, which was also the first goal Real Madrid have conceded throughout this Champions League campaign. In the cup we scraped past Sc Herenveen and are awarded with an away game to Feyenoord in the Quarter Final. There were no nice draws whatsoever. Hopefully the Under 19's will do better in the UEFA Youth League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 January 2031 How we managed to grind out these 2 results I have no idea, we had 14 players missing through either injury or international call-ups leaving us with having to play 3 players who haven't made their senior debut to start against the team directly above us in the league. I'm very very happy with January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 February 2031 The pros are that we're top of the league by 4 points with the best goal difference despite losing to AZ, the cons are that we're out of the cup thanks to an early red card and we're almost certainly out of Europe as well after going 3-2 down and again getting another red card.

In the league we had 3 away games and again managed to win all of them and score 2 very late goals to upset the FC Emmen crowd and with 5 games left we're 5 points clear of Feyenoord.
