Deisler26 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 RKC Waalwijk Well.. the arse recently dropped out of my laptop, meaning I'd lost all my fraud saves and work. Wanting to get back on the horse as soon as possible, I looked at new teams. New leagues. Same youth only policy. But....the choice for my next career was always there. Nagging at me. Tugging at my brain. Lurking in the depths. Calling me like a siren. And I'm back. I can give this team up any time. Any time I wish.... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deisler26 Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) RKC Waalwijk 2019 Youth Intake FULL INTAKE OVERVIEW My first intake in charge. I managed to get an upgrade to all the Youth areas (Recruitment and Coaching) to put us at Good Youth Coaching and Established Youth Recruitment. As usual, I'll be concentrating on the 3* and above prospects, however I'll highlight the top three prospects in my eyes of each intake and also concentrate on the U-19's vs Youth Candidates match. -------------------------------------------------- Top 3 Prospects MC Pelle Latuheru Pelle is going to fit in very well to our 4-3-3 Narrow formation. Having him tutored by Hans Mulder should give him a boost by the time it comes to sell Mulder and integrate Latuheru. His biggest weakness is a Strength of 1, which is going to need some serious upgrading. DC Gianni van der Laan Gianni is also another player who will fit in easily to our current team. His Pace & Acceleration are good for this level and his Mentals are off the charts. Again, Physical stats are an issue however, so I think a Strength coach is sorely needed MC Markus Jansen Markus is a little bit of an engima. he has undoubted talents, but none of which fit how we play. So he's gonna have to be trained at a cost. However, I do believe he can be a squad rotation-level player from minute one. He can't defend, but hopefully, we won't put him in that position. ------------------------------------------------------------- Other 3* Prospects AMR/ST Screve Kalala GK Wil van Bokel ST Coen Kreekels DC Danny van Agt ----------------------------------------------------- How far will YOUR youth go: 2019? Just how local are my intakes? We have Good Youth facilities, but are we getting the cream of local youth? YP8 Rene Lieder was born in Hollands Kroon, Netherlands, 164 km away. A guy born on the 'Hook of Holland' would have had to first pass AZ Alkmaar as his closest Eredivise side, then pass Amsterdam to get to us. YP9 Michael Franken was born in Oosterhout, Netherlands. 26km away. The next furthest player away. We've not had many from Waalwijk, but we've also only had one player from more than 30km away. --------------------------------------------------------------- RKC U-19's vs RKC Youth Candidates: 2019? In the end, it was a dominant win for the Youth Candidates. Three times Screve Kalala was put through on goal and three times he muffed his audition, which lowered his stock in my eyes. RKC Youth Candidates Player of the Game Sam van Weert Sam was a revelation in this match. Both of his goals were excellent finishes into the corner, when my usual strikers put it straight at the keeper. His stats aren't the greatest, but I can certainly use him up front and will keep an eye on his development.

Deisler26 Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 RKC Waalwijk 2018/19 Season Review Keuken Kampioen Divisie: Finished in 17th place (predicted 19th) Well, it certainly wasn't the best of seasons for my first season. With only two wins by December, we were staring down the barrell. Luckily, we rallied in March, posting a 6-1-5 record to keep ourselves off the bottom of the league. We'll be aiming for that again next season as we begin to transition to a fully academy-driven side. Final Table - Season Results Aug - Dec | Jan - May KNVB Beker: Lost in Second Round place (predicted Second Round) This was actually more of a distraction than a help. A good First Round 2-1 win saw us beat fellow league strugglers Helmond Sport, but Round 2 saw us face Eredivisie opposition in the shape of Willem II Tilburg and, despite hanging on with two injuries and a red card, we lost 0-1 late in extra time.

Deisler26 Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) RKC Waalwijk August 2019 Transfer Window Targets: A decent enough set of targets. I'm more than happy to spend the season in 18th, if it will lead to more youth coming through and, unless I draw an Eredivisie club straight away, the second round is doable. The transfer money will go into the wage budget as ever. Transfers: A lot of departures this window. Our top scorer departed for the highest fee, but all the players were first team players last season. All were allowed to go, because of the fees involved and that they could be replaced with academy products (in some cases, eventually) Edited January 1, 2019 by Deisler26 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deisler26 Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) RKC Waalwijk January 2020 Transfer Window Transfers: Just the two departures this window. Both were important first team players, but we needed the funds to keep our balance up to fund the £2m training upgrade. Dylan Says was my first choice left winger, but a few injuries in a row meant that we'd done without him enough this season to come Gigli Ndefe was my first choice right back, but could play either side. But getting double his value, whilst getting a 50% sell on, was too good to turn down. Edited January 5, 2019 by Deisler26 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deisler26 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 RKC Waalwijk 2020 Youth Intake FULL INTAKE OVERVIEW Intake #2. No chances to upgrade this year, leaving us at Good Youth Coaching and Established Youth Recruitment. As usual, I'll be concentrating on the 3* and above prospects, however I'll highlight the top three prospects in my eyes of each intake and also concentrate on the U-19's vs Youth Candidates match. -------------------------------------------------- Top 3 Prospects AMC Hujoybert Schorea Hujoybert is a mind-blowing prospect for our level and, to be honest, I can't see him staying at the club for more than a season. He'll be the lynchpin of our attacking formation and can also slot in on the left hand side of it to replace the departed Dylan Says AMRL Virgil Sion Virgil could be the answer to the left-sided issue. His Crossing and Dribbling needs training to really become the real threat I think he could be. HOYD thinks he's close to his potential ceiling, but I think he could have a little way to go. ST Wesley van Dongen Wesley is unusual to be ranked as a top 3 prospect, but he's an academy striker and we really need that, as two out of the three first team-level strikers we have at the club are non-academy players. ------------------------------------------------------------- Other 3* Prospects DL Gijs van Duijnhoven DC Joep van Lieshout MC Alfredo Frankel DM Niels Smit DC William Nsiala GK Dean van der Sluijs ----------------------------------------------------- How far will YOUR youth go: 2020? Just how local are my intakes? We have Good Youth facilities, but are we getting the cream of local youth? YP1 Hujoybert Schorea was born in Noord Zapateer, Curacao, 7,164 km away. A Dutch colony guy, born to Dutch parents, has joined us. I'm going to go out on a limb and say his parents were Waalwijk locals working out there. Yes. That should do it. YP2 Virgil Sion was born in Welgelegen, Netherlands. 93km away. The Hague. The adminstrative capital of the Netherlands and birthplace of our player. Hopefully, he's not the offspring of a war criminal... YP10 Rik van Nieuwstadt was born in Uden, Netherlands, 49km away. Not too far, and just the other side of the nearest city. We've not had many from Waalwijk, but we're still in the local area for the majority of the intake. --------------------------------------------------------------- RKC U-19's vs RKC Youth Candidates: 2020? Another dominant win for the Youth Candidates. No real standouts during the game, only that all three goalscorers were in the watch list above. RKC Youth Candidates Player of the Game Virgil Sion The winger was an absolute gem in this game. With a bullet header from a cross to put the Youth Candidates 2-0 up and a lovely through ball to set up Schorea for the third goal, he could be an instant force for my side.

Deisler26 Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 RKC Waalwijk 2019/20 Season Review Keuken Kampioen Divisie: Finished in 6th place (predicted 18th) - PROMOTED VIA PLAYOFFS! It was a very enjoyable and excellent season for us. We started to jell better, with the more defensive formation tending to be the one failing me most, but not massively. We even got to the point where we were contesting the automatic promotion spot (4th vs 6th!) but an awful last day result saw us finish 3 points behind Willem II Tilburg. We started to transition to a more academy driven side as our attacking formation had 4 academy players in it and could conceivably have another 3 in it. We're suffering at right midfield and the full-back positions right now. Hopefully, the new upgrades will address those positions when the new intake comes in Final Table - Season Results Aug - Dec | Jan - May KNVB Beker: Lost in Third Round place (predicted Second Round) This was actually more of a distraction than a help again. A fantastic First Round 8-1 win saw us beat amateurs S.V T.E.C , and Round 2 saw us face Eredivisie opposition again in the shape of S.B.V Excelsior and we took them behind the woodshed for a 4 -0 win. The Third Round saw us come up against Eredivisie opponents again in FC Twente Enschende and this time, there was no fairytale as we lost 0-3.

Deisler26 Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 RKC Waalwijk January 2021 Transfer Window Transfers: Just the two departures this window. One was a important first team player, the other a talented youth Gijs van Veldhoven was my number one striker. He fired us to promotion, hitting back-to-back hat-tricks in his last game of 19/20 and his first game of 20/21. Sadly, Ajax came in with a deal that I needed to fund upgrades, a £1m + 50% sell on. Ian Lamberink is a good, young midfielder, but he wasn't getting the game he wanted and, to head off a mutiny, I sent him out on loan.

Deisler26 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 RKC Waalwijk 2021 Youth Intake FULL INTAKE OVERVIEW Intake #3. We'd hit the jackpot this year! We'd got a pair of upgrades which put us at Exceptional Youth Coaching and Extensive Youth Recruitment. As usual, I'll be concentrating on the 3* and above prospects, however I'll highlight the top three prospects in my eyes of each intake and also concentrate on the U-19's vs Youth Candidates match. -------------------------------------------------- Top 3 Prospects ST Marcel Ouwerkerk Marcel is a straight replacement for the departed Gijs van Veldhoven. A quick academy striker who should be able to score at a decent clip? Marvellous AMR Arno Hulschoff Arno is what I have been waiting for! A player to replace Daan Rienstra on the right, allowing me to sell him. His Positioning and Tackling needs working on to really fit into the Defensive Winger mould however. DL Sven Bartels Sven is a gift from heaven. I was in dire need of a decent academy left back and, lo and behold, my prayers were answered ------------------------------------------------------------- Other 3*+ Prospects ML Bjorn Wolf ST Ad Viejou DM/MC Mart Ramos ----------------------------------------------------- How far will YOUR youth go: 2021? Just how local are my intakes? We have Good Youth facilities, but are we getting the cream of local youth? YP3 Sven Bartels was born in Zevenaar, Netherlands, 104 km away. This guy must have passed through the Vitesse and N.E.C academies to make it to us. Hopefully, that's our gain and their loss. YP7 Sagi Hayun was born in Hadera, Israel. 4,449km away. Our first player from the motherland. Not the best, however more could follow. YP8 Maikel Daniels was born in Maastrict, Netherlands, 139km away. Born in the home of treaties and, quite frankly, we must have been subject to one to take him Starting to go further afield now with the majority coming from 50km> away --------------------------------------------------------------- RKC U-19's vs RKC Youth Candidates: 2021? A very back and forth game. The early penalty shook the Youth candidates, only for they, themselves, to get one awarded. The second RYC goal was a beautiful breakaway and finish, but sadly the defensive side was lacking, allowing the U-19's to get the win. RKC Youth Candidates Player of the Game Marcel Ouwerkerk A good show from the striker. A decent penalty and a wonderful finish on the breakaway meant that he did very well in this match.
