[FM19] The Perfectionist IV - A-B-C, it's easy as 1-2-3000 years of management!

[Makoto Nakamura]

We're at home to Sportivo Belgrano who are in 4th place.

It's not a good start at all. Sportivo Belgrano take an early lead.

Nicolas equalises nearly midway through the half to put us 2 points behind...

It's still 1-1 at half time.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2nd Half:

We take the lead in the 58th minute!!! Can we hold on?!

5 minutes of injury time and Sportivo Belgrano have a corner. 

WE'RE PROMOTED...I mean...¡Vamos a subir, dije que vamos a subir!

And the goal that sealed the title!

[turnip]

What a bonkers season.

35 teams and 1 promotion slot. Carnage.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2045/46 End of Season Review

You've survived the competition of death. I'm convinced you're the best FM player ever now.

2046/47 Pre-Season

Mixed results here.

The board want us to attempt to avoid relegation, that's my aim as well.

4 players in so far.

[DefenseLover]

That's my home club, the other one which was promoted..

 

Tough times.

[Makoto Nakamura]

August 2046

Solid in the home matches, poor away from home, now in this league we're only playing each other once, so we're going from 68/70 games to 24. 

A busy transfer deadline day!

2046/47 Youth Candidates

Decent enough potential but no-one with 5*.

[Makoto Nakamura]

October 2046

Not great but we're still performing above expectations and are up in 15th with almost half the season played. 

[Makoto Nakamura]

November 2046

Up to 10th after 3 good wins and we're only 9 points away from the top spot...we've come back from further behind!

I'll give it 5, hopefully a bigger club will take me!

December 2046

What a boring month!

[Makoto Nakamura]

January 2047

Just the one league game again but we're into the playoff places.

One joins us on loan.

[Makoto Nakamura]

February 2047

Mixed again but we're still clinging on to that final playoff spot.

[Makoto Nakamura]

March 2047

Poor month and we have just one league game remaining plus we're finally entered into the Copa Argentina.  

[andychar]

Imagine playing all those games in a season and missing out on Promotion on Goal Difference! Mental!

From 1 promotion place to top 9 being enough to give you a shot. Argentina crazy!

[Makoto Nakamura]

2046/47 End of Season Review

We finish outside the playoffs on goal difference and make absolutely no progress in the cup, hopefully we can strengthen more in pre-season.

2046/47 Best XI

Pablo González

Agustín Díaz - Roberto Vignati - Marcelo Sanchís - Luciano Consoli

César Irala - Matías Gauna

Germán Ávalos                                                        Kevin Almirón

 

Santiago Bonadío - Claudio Domínguez

[scarp]

So last season you played 70 games per season and now 24?  That's mental.

[Minuy600]

You did have some stiff competition in there. Godoy Cruz, Temperley, Club Olimpo...

Yep.  The Superliga Argentina has also decided to stick at 26 teams playing 25 games instead of going down to the 20 teams and 38 games like it's supposed to be.

I'm hoping one of the bigger clubs of the division will offer me an interview in all honesty.

I thought the Balgian league system was mental, but this is just insane.

Well when I get round to Belgium it will be 5 divisions instead of the out-of-the-box 3 divisions so it could still be mental!

[Makoto Nakamura]

2047/48 Pre-Season

Rather good pre-season,

Just avoid relegation again.

The money's all gone so we've had to sell a couple of players and rely on a couple of free transfers and loanees.

[Makoto Nakamura]

August 2047

Narrow away defeat to start the season but our goalkeeper got us the 3 points at home to Tigre.

One more joins us.

[Makoto Nakamura]

September 2047

Two solid away wins but then we fall apart at home to the early league leaders Gimnasia (Mendoza).

A striker joins us on deadline day.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2047/48 Youth Candidates

Still no-one with 5* PA but one good prospect.

[Makoto Nakamura]

October 2047

A very strong month sees us climb up to 4th, both the Flandria and Dep. Moron jobs have become available but I'm not going to apply for them, if they seek me out though then that's different...

[Makoto Nakamura]

November 2047

Solid again and for a short time we even hit the top spot! Hopefully we can keep our good form up!  

[Makoto Nakamura]

December 2047

Just the one league game and it's a good 3 points! If we win the game in hand then we can leapfrog Godoy Cruz into 1st.  

[Makoto Nakamura]

January 2048

Some big friendly wins and a big win in the league as well that sends us to the top of the table!  

[Makoto Nakamura]

February 2048

An almost perfect month and we're 4 points clear at the top of the table with 3 games remaining!  

[Makoto Nakamura]

March 2048

It's never easy, is it?  

[Makoto Nakamura]

Here we go...

Not a great start.  

It just gets worse.  

Still 2-0 down at half time.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2nd half

We score a goal!! Can we score 2 more?

A 2nd goal from Germán Ávalos and it draws us level! Talleres are still tied with Club Olimpo so we need to score 1 more goal!

TALLERES STILL HAVEN'T SCORED, THE SCENES!!

PROMOTION!!!!

[shonaxxx]

nicely done. i dont have the guts (more like pc) to start a journeyman save. I really enjoyed this series so far. Goodluck.

[Minuy600]

Tiny question inbetween: Since i'm working on my database right now, would you reccomend making playoffs at the end of the season? If so, should I style them around the English ones or the German one? Important to know if the minimum amount of teams should be 4 or 7 per division.

For what country?

[Makoto Nakamura]

...It was a feisty affair.

[Minuy600]

20 minutes ago, Makoto Nakamura said:

Any. I'm making a world database with every country having a consistent structure, down to the 20th tier with a maximum of 476 clubs a country (20 in the top tier, 24 in every lower one). But if the bottom tier has 4-7 clubs left available I may need to compensate fun for a more straightforward structuring. And among that, some countries do not have enough stadiums to make the season end in time, and playoffs make it even busier. So yeah. Would it be fun to the player (or, well, you) if there were no playoffs or it'd be styled around the German leagues, with 1 playoff round, either 1 or 2 legged? Or should I go completely English and trade in efficiency for a more fair chance to get promoted? Maybe a combination of both?

Back on topic: You had to do this the German way, eh? Congrats.

Well since you're the player what would be more fun for you to play/ see? When I've made world leagues I've not had any playoffs at all and only a couple of promotion spots.

That's the thing, i've got no clue what I find more fun. I'm likely not gonna be playing in my own database much so it's more about striking a balance. Guess the German playoff is the best idea in that case.

These past two promotions have been amazing . Brilliant work. Think you're sticking with San Martin into the Primera or will you be on the lookout for a bigger job?
