Thanks.

With the add on leagues is it best to add players to playable teams? I’d like to keep it to real players as much as possible but I guess playing a lot of greyed out teams would make it too easy?

I would add players to playable to playable teams, I'd be bored playing greyed out teams since there wouldn't be any stories behind the players and a lack of transfer activity.

We face FC Seoul in the Champions League quarter final and we're doing well in the league near the top of the table, the big shock is that we're out of the cup, losing on penalties to the team that's currently in 2nd in the 2nd tier.

A solid month but we've been hit by players leaving, like our first choice goalkeeper who moaned about someone else leaving, our next choice goalkeeper is rated "leading for Second Division sides" which is the 3rd tier of Chinese football.

A perfect month in the league but we're just 3 points clear of Tianjin Yili, thankfully we beat them 4-1 this month! We have a tough task in the Champions League and we must get a result away from home...not likely though with our defensive qualities.

Another very busy month and with just the one loss in the league we've re-hit the top of the table! In the Champions League we eased past South Korean side Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors 7-3 on aggregate and we're now waiting to see who we'll face in the quarter finals.

Another very strong month with us just dropping points once and we're now 7 points clear although both Shanghai Shenhua and Tianjin Yiji have a game in hand.

2 players in and we lose one of our best strikers in Liu Lin but we signed a replacement just a fortnight later.

We've made it through to the Champions League Semi Final after beating Tianjin Yili 7-4 on aggregate, we face FC Seoul in the Semi's and I'm yet to beat them as a manager. In the league Shanghail Shenhua are really pushing us and we can't afford to drop any points in the last 2 matches.

Oh my good lord. I was originally fuming at Liaoning as drawing to them lost us the league title, but since then we knocked FC Seoul off of their Asian perch that they've basically had for the last 10 years, we came from 5-2 down to win 8-8 on away goals in the FA Cup Final and we won the Club World Cup Final after beating Manchester City on penalties in the semi final!!!!!

Superb season! What's next now you've conquered the world? :D 

I was thinking about that. I would either advise International football (win the world cup with an Asian team) or adding european leagues to take Bhutans finest into a new continent now Asia has been conquered (Sort of defeats the point of this thread, but I'd be very interested in that)

In response to both you and Jupjamie, I'm not too sure, I'm now the 2nd highest paid manager in Asia and I was going to go back to the St. Buryan save when my contract runs out this season but I could always stay on at Yanbian until an opening comes up at either the Bhutan NT or High Quality, I'm not too fussed either way. :)

By the way how did High Quality  and Bhutan have fared since your departure?

I'm currently in my own Bhutan save, managing Transport and NT (since the end of 2019) (year is early 2021), with maxed junior coaching and recruitment (board was accepting upgrades every 3 month or so...), but the coming season will probably be hard (lost my top 4 strikers + top keeper+ top defender)...On the other end, i had quite overperformed reaching the finals in the Asian Confederation cup with Transport (thanks to a 92th penalty against Pyongyang making the score 4-6, 3-1)...

Fun fact, the first bhutanese player to play abroad in my save (wasn't from my team) was a keeper recruited by Kataller!!

Would be awesome if u return to Bhutan to win the Afc Champions league with High quality, or another small country like Nepal or Sri Lanka.

Both have done well, although High Quality had a few seasons of going downhill, they're back as the best team in the country now though. Congrats on making the final of the Confederation Cup! Haha, what are the chances in that?

Then I'll have to wait for the manager to lose his job, let's hope it doesn't take too long. :lol:

Well i was pretty lucky, hardest game was the barrage before the group phase against Bengaluru (went 2-2/1-1) and interzone barrage final against Pyongyang that i shouldn't have won but won miraculously...In group phase, the Indian team lost 5-1 their first game and was in bad form, as was New Radiant...One of my forward was in a scary good form (13pace/13acceleration/12 finishing killing it in counters) and scored 4 goals 3 times...

I won the group easily (i think my team was as good as the other in the group talentwise, but with full cohesion + full morale from crushing bhutanese team+ rotation to have the team in form in Continental competition)

Faced a Philipines team in the interzone barrage, which was good but not great.

Overall, i scored a lot, and also set a record for goal against. Had the record for goal scored (19!!) and assists for my 2 strikers

I was helped by the fact that i had 2 very good intakes (golden generation with mainly forwards and a top keeper) to work with, since foreign team weren't stealing my players yet.

Also that year there was no Asian Games, so that clearly helped to reach the group phase!!(wouldn't have beaten Bengaluru).

I think it is unlikely i can replicate such a run in future, unless i get a godly youth intake in a non Asian game year, since now my player are stolen as soon they reach 18. Considering Bhutanese from youth intake are often an old 16 when generated, that mean that my best players will stay only one year. Passing semi-pro is the next objective, as is increasing league reputation (was frozen due to bug until 2020 - which was a blessing in disguise since i wasn't scouted)
