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

[Makoto Nakamura]

October 2058

And another loss. We're through in the cup though.

[Makoto Nakamura]

November 2058

We drop points again, and so early on in the season we're already 9 points behind league leaders Dakota...darn you Stereophonics.  

[Makoto Nakamura]

December 2058

Better, no losses and we move up to 3rd, still 10 points away from Estrella now that Dakota have begun to slip up.

This is the logo for the Aruban Cup. A man's face in a circle. I don't know why.

I now know why.

[Makoto Nakamura]

January 2059

Well boys, thankfully Aruba is a nice country, we may be settling here for a while.

[Makoto Nakamura]

February 2059

Woeful at best.  

[Makoto Nakamura]

2058/59 Youth Candidates

We've upgraded our youth facilities once and both the junior coaching and youth recruitment twice, so honestly I was expecting better.

[Makoto Nakamura]

March 2059

Out of the cup and another defeat to Dakota in the league, just perfect.

[Makoto Nakamura]

April 2059

Estrella are confirmed champions but there's still a chance we could snatch 2nd off of Dakota, so that will be the aim.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2058/59 End of Season Review

We messed up but then again so did Dakota so we've ended up finishing the season in 2nd after all.

2058/59 Best XI

Jesus Mulder (YP40a)

Leroy Kartoredjo - Nickenson Mackay - Antonio Siem - Gino Hassel

Estiverne Paesch - Rodney Brison

2059/60 Pre-Season

Perfect set of friendlies.

Predicted to finish lower this season.  

[Makoto Nakamura]

August 2059

A mixed start.  

[Makoto Nakamura]

September 2059

Defeat to Estrella as usual and we're down in 5th, although only 3 points off of 2nd whilst Dakota have started off very well.

[Makoto Nakamura]

October 2059

Just the one league game which was a good win over struggling Bubali and we're through to the cup quarter final after beating non-league San Nicolaas 6-3 on aggregate.

[Makoto Nakamura]

November 2059

Terrible month. I re-signed Rodney Geerman and he repaid us with 2 goals on his debut.

[Makoto Nakamura]

December 2059

A much better month as we reach 2nd temporarily, Estrella will definitely overtake us with their games in hand.

[Makoto Nakamura]

January 2060

An almost perfect month and a massive surprise is that we hit the top of the table!! Now we have to hold off both Dakota and Estrella...

[Makoto Nakamura]

2059/60 Youth Candidates

3 defenders!

[Makoto Nakamura]

February 2060

A perfect month in the league sees us go 8 points clear with 2 games in hand over Dakota!  

[Makoto Nakamura]

March 2060

Just the 2 games and now Estrealla are hot on our heels.

[Makoto Nakamura]

April 2060

Back-to-back defeats in the league but we managed to beat Estrella which means that with just 4 games to go we're holding on to a 5 points advantage and a slightly better goal difference!

Bentleigh Greens Soccer Club is an Australian semi professional soccer club based in Cheltenham, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria. The club was formed in 1986, by the Greek Cypriot community and currently competes in the National Premier Leagues Victoria. Bentleigh made nationwide headlines when it became the first club below the A-League to make the semi-final of the FFA Cup in 2014. The Greens hit another milestone a year later when they claimed their first major trophy, the NPL Victoria title. In 2016, Bentleigh Greens became Victorian top-flight league premiers for the first time.

Bentleigh are one of six state league teams to have eliminated an A-League team in the FFA Cup, along with Heidelberg United FC, Redlands United FC, Green Gully SC, Adelaide City FC and Blacktown City FC.

Probably one of the best 2nd tier Australian sides I could possibly hope to join!

[Makoto Nakamura]

2060/61 Pre-Season

Solid pre-season.

Try to retain the title.

Two in, two out.

[Makoto Nakamura]

October 2060

Perfect start to life in Australia!  

[Makoto Nakamura]

November 2060

The perfect start continues and we're 6 points clear!

[Makoto Nakamura]

December 2060

Still perfect but Brisbane Strikers are pushing us as they're also unbeaten and hopefully we'll end that when we face them!

[Makoto Nakamura]

January 2061

We beat Brisbane Strikers, who also lost to Avondale and that sees us a massive 14 points clear!!  

[Makoto Nakamura]

February 2061

We were very close to losing out first game of the season but managed to pick up a point with close to the very last kick of the game!

[Makoto Nakamura]

One for @Jimbokav1971 The quickest goalkeeper hat-trick! 02:59, 05:23 & 06:33 a hat-trick in 3 minutes and 34 seconds!  

[Makoto Nakamura]

March 2061

Champions! And now I look out for any A-League job openings. March was the month of our goalkeeper Stephen Forbes, 7 goals in 3 games!!!

Love that. 

2 free kicks and a pen. Lovely stuff.

2060/61 End of Season Review

Dropped points again in the final game of the season, but we were dominant throughout! Now I wait for an A-League job to crop up.

2060/61 Best XI

Stephen Forbes

Shaun Madafferi - George Sidwell - Robert Alibeyi-Smak - Nathan Taylor

Mattersburg retained the Champions League!!!

[ryanlion28]

Well that was probably the easiest season you've had so far!

 

Look a decent side though, kinda a shame there's no promotion or relegation in Australia, i wonder their reasoning behind it.

It's funny how many non NSW teams are in this division despite it being a Northern NSW comp 😂 

 

Amazing progress though, you'll finish Australia off in no time!

I wonder if we'll get any easier seasons! Maybe it's the same sort of deal that the USA has, I don't know though.

I didn't move any teams in the editor, that's just how they are. 

I think I'll try to win the Asian CL with an Australian side as well.

Melbourne City Football Club is an Australian professional soccer club based in the northern Melbourne suburb of Bundoora, Victoria. It competes in the country's premier competition, the A-League, under licencefrom Football Federation Australia.

Founded in 2009 as Melbourne Heart, the club competed under that name from its inaugural 2010–11 season until it was acquired and subsequently rebranded in mid-2014 by the City Football Group, in partnership with Holding M.S. Australia. In August 2015, City Football Group bought out the Holding M.S. Australia consortium to acquire 100% ownership of the club.

The club is run from the City Football Academy, a facility based at Melbourne's La Trobe University. The club plays home matches at Melbourne Rectangular Stadium, commercially known as AAMI Park, a 30,050 seat multi-use venue in Melbourne's City Centre. The club also has an affiliated youth team which competes in the National Youth League, a NPL team which competes in the National Premier Leagues and a senior women's team which competes in the W-League.

We won the league last season, why are we bottom of the table?

How is this the entire team. Both the senior and youth team adds up to 15 players, 1 is injured, 2 are here on loan and 7 of them are on youth contracts. Whilst another 3 are 34 or over. God damn.

[Makoto Nakamura]

January 2062

Not a great start.

What do you do when you have 2 defenders? You sign 2 strikers. Of course.

[Makoto Nakamura]

February 2062

An unbeaten month and a massive win in our opening Champions League game!  

[Makoto Nakamura]

March 2062

Perfect in the Champions League but struggling in the A-League with 4 draws in a row.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2061/62 End of Season Review

Why didn't you just put promotion in place for the Australian leagues (even though we don't have it in RL)

Because that would require the advanced editor, which I didn't use. It's simple enough to do and I did it in FM18, I ended up holidaying to 2080 with one relegation spot but it was still the same 10 teams in the A-League, every time one got relegated they came straight back up the following season.
