What are the chances of finding another Pelé? Probably one in a Brazillion.

2029 End of Season

9th in the end, it could have been worse but we're still expected to struggle to avoid relegation so as long as we don't go down to Serie C it goes down as a good season for me.

Overall Best XI

2029 Best XI

Roberlan (YP5a)

Taílson Barbosa (YP12b) - Baggio (YP5h) - Gérson Tomaz (YP8b) - Maviael (YP8g)

Carlos André (YP9a) - Joalisson (YP9f) - Jardel Rostan (YP6g)

Bruno (YP5c) - Baltazar (YP9c) - José Kaíke (YP8d)

It looks like Watteau will be leaving us after struggling for game time this season.

And the Youth Setup went through the roof again?! At least the cut down on staff saw the wages halved.

[Makoto Nakamura]

Watteau may have still been playing but we have younger players with more potential, so he's gone and Liborio went out on loan, still didn't play and has left now as well.

[Makoto Nakamura]

Leonildo has moved to Greece, which is confusing since he was doing well in Serie A.

[kandersson]

Defenders and strikers look alright with a couple of stand-out prospects, Tailson of course but also Caique and Baltazar look very good for their age. Midfield could use some improvement though (it's a kind way to say that I wouldn't feel comfortable playing them in Campeonato Piauiense) hopefully you have some young midfielders ready to take over next year!

I'm hoping the midfielders can reach their potential as we have to rely on a couple of players who are quite injury prone, such as Laninho...here's his injury sheet...bear in mind that he's still 23 and 24 in March.

And our MC depth.

[kandersson]

Poor Laninho... I'm putting my money on Neizinho to be the next star midfielder!

[Makoto Nakamura]

January 2030

Perfect start with just 3 goals conceded!

We're expected to win the state as per usual but the big shock is that we're predicted to finish mid-table in Serie B, actual pressure, oh dear.

[Makoto Nakamura]

February 2030

Another solid month where we're looking good to progress in the Nordestao where we've faced a certain side managed by @kandersson  and scraping through in the Copa do Brasil.

[Makoto Nakamura]

March 2030

Out of the Copa do Brasil after a tough tie against Atletico Mineiro, the loss to Ceara means we qualified in 2nd and face CRB in the Quarter Final and we're yet to finish a perfect state championship after the draw away to Treze.

[kandersson]

A good third place in a tough group and 3 goals scored over two legs against a superior side, not bad!

[Makoto Nakamura]

April 2030

We broke the record for points in the State Championship and the most goals scored as well We've also made it through to another Nordestao Final where we'll face Sport.

And we're now predicted to finish down in 12th.

[Makoto Nakamura]

State Records & Awards:

[Makoto Nakamura]

May 2030

Lost out on penalties in the Nordestao but a big 6-1 aggregate win in the State Final as well as a strong start in the league.

[Makoto Nakamura]

The first long injury for him.

[Makoto Nakamura]

June 2030

2 home wins and 2 away draws sees us again in the promotion zone as we take a break for the 2030 World Cup which has kindly coincided with possibly my worst injury crisis so far.

Thankfully a couple of players are returning from injury as well but it's still quite annoying.

[Makoto Nakamura]

July 2030

We're missing Roberlan at the back, the other goalkeepers just aren't ready yet.

[andychar]

I've read enough Makoto Nakamura threads (and there have been a lot) to know a prediction of 12th usually means Promotion. We don't just expect. We demand!

At this point I'm having more threads than hot dinners. You can demand promotion all you want, I don't see it happening for at least another 5 seasons 

[Makoto Nakamura]

August 2030

Can you tell who came back from injury? Roberlan had his 1st game back against CRB and scored against Figueirense.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2030 Youth Candidates

Ooo...another great DC?

Resemblance to Erllymax, and here's the comparison!

Almost identical!

[Makoto Nakamura]

September 2030

The great form continues and we're just outside the promotion spots although this is usually the time of the season where our form goes to pot.

[Makoto Nakamura]

October 2030

*Intense sobbing* There's the abject run of form although we did face 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th this month with the next game being away to 2nd placed Guarani. 

[BoxToBox]

That intake is killer! Phew!

[Makoto Nakamura]

2030 End of Season

4 wins from 5 but nowhere near good enough for promotion, definitely better showing than the past few seasons though.

Hopefully we can do as well as we did last season.

The customary dropped points but a very good start sees us 2 points ahead.

More dropped points  Strong enough though and a good showing in the Nordestao so far.

A nice little cup run here as we're through to the Copa do Brasil 4th Round where we'll face Atletico Paranaense, we also have one foot in the Semi Final of the Nordestao and well, the state is going exactly as the state goes.

Palinha's gonna be a god in defence. “Promising centre back” is an understatement.

Not getting a lot of first team appearances. Hopefully Palinha sticks with us a while.

June 2031

Predicted mid-table again.

Roberlan breaks the appearance record aged just 25.

A very good start to the league, we lost yet another Nordestao Final, are we ever going to win this again? In the Copa do Brasil we face Palmeiras in the Quarter Final.

An unbeaten month! We're 5 points behind Bahia but still well inside the promotion zone for the time being.

Dropping more points now but we provide a big upset in the Copa do Brasil knocking out Palmeiras who are 5th in Brasileiro and we'll face Sao Paulo in the Semi Final!
