wynter Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 This Slavia Sofia save is a bundle of fun. Playing the Youth pretty much turned half of them into Good/Star Div players by the 4-5 month stage and we motored on from then after the winter break. Choked the title to Ludogorets over the last few games though. Rijeka next so Euro Groups is a definite possibility. Only downside is the Board keep accepting bids for the best players we have, we're getting a ton of cash for Facilities etc; though so it's an interesting position.

I had a bug in the save. Namely, after winning the title, I was not given the option to register players for the OFC Champions League, so I had a squad with "Unr" by their name and I was going to have to play eleven blacked out players. A game breaker for me. If I run a small nation save again, it will be an SI league I think. Maybe Gibraltar or Finland. Not sure yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. It didn't really go that well. I'd say Brøndby were marginally better playing as a whole, but they were careless in defence and all 3 goals conceded after set pieces/goalkeeper distribution.
