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

[Makoto Nakamura]

November 2032

Terrible month in the league sees us drop to 3rd and 7 points behind Atletic Escaldes We're through to the Copa Constitucio Quarter Final where we'll face Inter Club Escaldes.

3 join us through the month.

 

[Makoto Nakamura]

December 2032

We came close to making it to the Copa Constitucio Semi Final but a penalty took it away.  The league is still very close and we've finally ended our losing streak!

[Makoto Nakamura]

January 2033

2 more wins and we're up to 2nd, both 1st and 3rd have a game in hand though.

[Makoto Nakamura]

February 2033

Another couple of wins to keep the pressure on Atletic Escaldes but we're still a point behind and have played a game more...can they slip up? Or will we slip up again?

[Makoto Nakamura]

March 2033

Huh, well we both messed up and now Inter d'Escaldes B are in 1st with just 3 games remaining!

[Makoto Nakamura]

2032/33 End of Season Review

3 wins did the trick! And as the Spanish say "Estamos subiendo, yo digo que estamos subiendo!" 

2032/33 Best XI

Francesc Seoane

Pedro Vieira - José Ângelo - David Roser - Enrique Pérez

Filipe Caixinha - Aitor García

Alfonso Martínez - David Jiménez

 

[Makoto Nakamura]

2033/34 Pre-Season

Well, we beat the Andorran sides.

Lets just not get relegated.

Quite a few players join us for our top tier debut.

[Makoto Nakamura]

August 2033

Well at least we got the hardest fixture out of the way first, and a win away to Santa Coloma! (although the scoreline flatters us)

[Minuy600]

Does this club even still exist in real life? The Segona Divisio only had 9 clubs last year, mind.

(Making a database similar to this one is a blast, by the way. I've finished up Afghanistan and i've made sure there's also promotion/relegation to the Lower Division. Looks to be fun to manage in as the time comes...)

They do  This is this seasons 2nd division table.

[Makoto Nakamura]

September 2033

We may be in for a tough season...at least we're not Carroi though!

[Makoto Nakamura]

October 2033

Not good at all but we did distance ourselves more from Carroi and we're through to face Sant Julia in the Quarter Final of the Copa Constitucio.

[Makoto Nakamura]

November 2033

A massive win away to Encamp but poor elsewhere, these big wins have given us a positive goal difference though. 

[Makoto Nakamura]

December 2033

A surprisingly good month temporarily jumps us up to 5th! We're also through to the Semi Final of the Copa Constitucio where we'll face Inter Club...which probably means we're going to lose. 

[Makoto Nakamura]

January 2034

A couple more wins and we're now looking pretty good in 5th place, 8 points ahead of our old parent club Sant Julia.  

[Makoto Nakamura]

February 2034

A tough month with us playing Inter Club 3 times...and losing 3 times, We're still looking good for 5th though!

[Makoto Nakamura]

March 2034

Just the one game and a loss at home to Santa Coloma, can you notice the gulf in quality yet?

[Makoto Nakamura]

2033/34 End of Season Review

We managed to qualify for the Europa League on the final day! Unbelievable scenes!!  

2033/34 Best XI

Pedro Barbosa

Carlos Hernández - José Antonio Quereda - David Roser - Enrique Pérez

Filipe Caixinha - Alberto Gómez

Stéphane Carlos                                                                             Luís Marques

 

Luca Voisin - David Jiménez

[Makoto Nakamura]

2034/35 Pre-Season

Our European adventure took us nowhere and a very mixed and busy pre-season!

Just stay up again and hope one of the better clubs sack their manager.

[King Cactus]

A third year!? What is this blamsphemy!? You've done well to close the gap, still a ways off but I've seen bigger gaps closed in terms of differences from one year to the other, hopefully the new boys make a difference.

Just 100 more days and this will be my longest managerial stint so far!  Hopefully we can do a bit better this season.

[Makoto Nakamura]

August 2034

A very tough start playing last seasons top 3 but at least we have points on the board.

[Makoto Nakamura]

September 2034

A perfect month shoots us up to 3rd with Inter Club struggling early on and Lusitanos running away with things like usual.

[Makoto Nakamura]

October 2034

We face UE Santa Coloma in the Copa Constitucio Quarter Final whilst 2 league defeats puts us firmly in 3rd place now.

[Makoto Nakamura]

November 2034

A perfect month which puts us 9 points clear of both Inter Club and UE Santa Coloma...but still 12 points behind Lusitanos.

[Makoto Nakamura]

December 2034

Up to 2nd in the league on goal difference and with a game in hand whilst also qualifying for another Copa Constitucio Semi Final where we're against Lusitanos...the other Semi Final sees Engordany face FS Massana who are currently 5th in the 2nd tier, a much nicer match up.  

[Makoto Nakamura]

January 2035

A perfect month where we have a game in hand on both Lusitanos and Santa Coloma, I don't quite know what it's going to take to topple Lusitanos.

[shaunvamos]

Lusitanos are deadset the most OP team in any small country I’ve managed in, built in advantage of getting Portuguese players through their academy. Once they start getting them through it almost becomes impossible unless the Portuguese leagues are active because then they start poaching them. You’re closing the gap though!

Sadly yes, especially when you compare them to the Lusitanos of real life:

Thanks for following!  

[Makoto Nakamura]

February 2035

We beat 4th placed Inter Club twice and lost to Lusitanos twice more, as is expected.

[Makoto Nakamura]

March 2035

Surprise, surprise, Lusitanos win the league again.

[Makoto Nakamura]

April 2035

2 more wins, but it matters little, 2nd place is guaranteed though.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2034/35 End of Season Review

A new best ever season, I don't see us being able to win the league any time soon, but I'm either here until we win, or a better opportunity comes up.

2034/35 Best XI

Pedro Barbosa

Diogo Correia - José Antonio Quereda - Samuel Martínez - Amador Martínez

Filipe Caixinha - Alberto Gómez

Stéphane Carlos                                                       Luís Marques

And for a sense of the difficulty I'm having to face in toppling Lusitanos, here is the best XI of Lusitanos this season:

Chirst Loulendo-Makoma

Tomás Sacramento - Ricardo Leitão - Rodrigo Alpoim

Hugo Moreira                                                                                     João Carlos Prates

Thanks, ill try that

[Makoto Nakamura]

There were quite a few big aggregate results when I played in the African Champions League, there have also been a few whilst I've been in the Europa League!

[Makoto Nakamura]

2035/36 Pre-Season

Terrible pre-season in terms of squad morale but we won a European fixture!

Still predicted last.

Some of you may be wondering why I haven't been doing any youth intake posts?

We have no junior coaching or youth recruitment.

So we finally have the money to improve facilities.

Or not.

[Makoto Nakamura]

YESSSS!!!! One competition down!

[Makoto Nakamura]

August 2035

A perfect start to the season!  

[Makoto Nakamura]

September 2035

The customary loss to Lusitanos but it's been perfect other than that!

[SlobaFMB]

If you want to win trophy, Lusitanos first need to lose.

[andychar]

How old is the Lusitanos manager. Any chance of retirement?

Lusitanos have lost 12 league games since the game started, 7 of those in the first 4 seasons. They've lost 4 league games in 13 years.

He's 42. 

[Makoto Nakamura]

October 2035

Not a single goal conceded...but we're behind big time on goal difference.  

[Makoto Nakamura]

We have facilities now!

[gurkburk]

Following you aswell ofc

Another defeat to Lusitanos who we now, again, face in the Semi Final of the Copa Constitucio...
