XaW Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Follo FK - Season 2025 Review Table | Squad | Transfers | Finances This was a very hard season for us, and we got relegated by a bit of a distance. It didn't look as bad for a long while and we were up to safe ground as late as with 7 games left. But when the last 7 is 6 losses and a win, it was not enough to keep us up, not even reach the relegation playoff spot. I do hope we can bounce back up again next season though, but it won't be easy. The teams in the top tier, as well as 5-6 teams in the league below is quite a bit ahead of the rest of us. One major thing that will help, though, is that we are finally going professional at the start of next season! I've asked and asked and they refused, before they finally came along and suggested it! Very happy with that part, and I'll start asking for more improvements when I see how we handle the new financial burden as well as the relegation. In Norgesmesterskapet we beat Rana, Steinkjer, and Grorud before losing to Molde in the 4th round. Youth A decent looking preview this time. Quite happy with this intake as well. With few good out and out wingers on the left, Eivind Åsenden 25a is a nice talent to pick up. 2nd team: They only played friendlies this season. U19s: After the promotion last season they had their first season in the National U19 Championship. They just survived as they finished 10th and gets another season in the top U19s league. In the Norwegian U19 Cup they lost to Fjøra in the 1st round. Statistics: Spoiler This season added Somalia and Latvia, so we keep filling out the map. Record Breakers: Most player of the match awards: Kristian Seteklev - 8 Worst discipline: Felix Skårn 22c - 14 yellow, 1 red Most league goals overall: Kristian Seteklev - 122 Youngest player: Øyvind Haug 25e - 15 years, 146 days Oldest goalscorer: Islam Darlishta - 28 years, 118 days Trophy cabinet: PostNord-ligaen Avdeling 2 - 1 (2022) Norwegian U19 Championship Oslo (U19s) - 2 (2022, 2024) 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

witticism Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Season Review 2027/2028 Final Table: Spoiler It wasn't easy, we won the games we could and lost all the games we were supposed to. Against the top 6 held a record of 2 wins 3 draws and 7 defeats throughout the season, so it's quite clear where the ceiling for the team is at the moment. Still, I thought we could sneak into Europe somehow Schedule Spoiler As usual tho, that post January second half of the season just did not let us find any sort of consistency, I genuinely didnt know what to do at times. A tenth round exit against a Monaco side we've yet to beat in this save was just par for the course. Board decided to build yet another new stadium as opposed to update our current newish stadium to meet Ligue 1 standards, so that's going to be interesting, at least they upgraded more facilities Once again we lead the league in both tackles won and fouls made Updated table Season League Played Finish Won Drawn Lost For Ag GD Win% Preview Cup Europe Training Youth Coaching Recruitment Status 21/22 CFA D 30 3 12 12 6 38 26 12 40.00% - - - Below Average Poor Average Fairly Basic 22/23 National 34 2 17 12 5 63 36 27 50.00% 16 Eleventh Round - Below Average Poor Average Fairly Basic Semi-Pro 23/24 Ligue 2 38 6 17 8 13 53 52 1 44.74% 20 Ninth Round - Average Basic Good Adequate Pro 24/25 Ligue 2 38 8 16 6 16 58 55 3 42.11% 20 Eight Round - Average Basic Excellent Average Pro 25/26 Ligue 2 38 3 21 12 5 72 38 34 55.26% 19 Eight Round - Average Basic Exceptional Good Pro 26/27 Ligue 1 38 10 16 7 15 40 51 -11 42.11% 20 Semi-Final - Average Below Average Exceptional Excellent Pro 27/28 Ligue 1 38 7 18 7 13 63 43 20 47.37% 20 Tenth Round - Good Adequate Exceptional Exceptional Pro Edited May 2, 2021 by witticism spelling 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikeologist Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Vikeologist's 26th Folkestone Intake Report (and 22nd Intake Review) Ouch. For the second straight year, despite improving our facilities, a disappointing intake; at least at first look. The screenshot is missing 3 players who I released before taking the screenshot. There are 2 players with 2* CA, which is probably the first time in an intake, but both of them, plus another player with 5* PA, aren’t a natural fit for our tactics. Add in the 3rd most promising player being another goalie, and bad personalities, and it’s fair to say this didn’t live p to my hopes. Now we’re in The Championship, I’m hopefully getting to the final stages of the challenge, and I was hoping for some players that will take us the rest of the way. I sometimes say that good intakes can go in cycles, and this seems to be happening now. It’s the hope that kills you, and I was hoping for a lot this time. Jaydyn Mullins 26a – I’ll have to use him as a left back, which drops half a star off his current ability. I wouldn’t count him out though. My starting left back has been steadily improving and has a lot of potential, but oh boy have they played badly with a 6.50 average rating for the season. Jaydyn’s media handling is unflappable (but not media friendly) which means high pressure, but I don’t know whether his professionalism or sportsmanship is high. Obviously I’m hoping for the former. Brooklyn Nightingale 26b – Going to use him as a striker as I have a lot of promising right wingers. I think maybe 20% of my players are right wingers to some extent. It’s crazy. I do need a great striker, but Brook’s starting with low CA and an abysmal determination, although obviously I have a way to deal with that. YP22 Review The 4 year period for reviews isn’t arbitrary. I think usually after 4 years, either the players have established themselves in the first team, or they never will. Obviously it’s different for goalkeepers, or if their position is unusually stacked, but generally this is when I make decisions on whether they have a long term future with us. Hopefully a look back to when I think my intakes were good will cheer me up. Ben Moore 22a – A fantastic central midfielder. Not with us any more though. I got a massive £10.5 million for him, and it will be more eventually probably with add-ons. Jamie Poke 22b – My backup right winger. Pretty close to taking over as starter, but as I indicated above, I have a lot of right wingers so he should be looking both ahead and behind him. Ross Gethins 22c – My starting right back, and one of my best players, although my full backs always have low average ratings. Ciaran McGlynn 22d – For ages Kevin Spencer 17d was a really important player because he was the only good left winger I had. Ciaran is basically as good now. He’s supposed to be an attacking right winger, but he’s left footed, so the left wing is where he plays. Spencer still starts most matches, but Ciaran has more potential. Sammy Blackman-Pottage 22e – Usually my central defender on the subs’ bench. He’s not that great yet, but slowly developing. So, I was right. It was another good intake. Not as good as YP21 which is basically half my first team, but not bad at all. However, 3 of these 4 current players are still backups, and as I said above, after 4 years they have to be able to demand a future with Folkestone. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazRTaylor Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 End of Season Review Season 2021/22 Unió Esportiva Extremenya Season Summary A season of over achievement as we surprisingly won the league title and secured promotion to the top tier. The fact we won the league by a huge fifteen points was remarkable. Season Details First Stage League Table - A fairly comfortable campaign, we won the league in this phase by ten points. First Stage League Fixtures - Unbeaten at the winter break, we were cruising. Poor form post Christmas nearly derailed our season, though we recovered somewhat and finished on top, guaranteeing first place with two games remaining. Promotion Stage League Table - With a ten point lead going into the Promotion Stage, we were always heavy favourites to win the league title and so it proved as we were comfortably the best side. Promotion Stage League Fixtures - We won four of our five games as we continued our dominance. Copa Constitució - We did not enter. Pre Season Friendlies - A solid pre season campaign, with just two defeats in our ten matches. Squad - The players themselves are decent enough, though we have no depth whatsoever. Squad Dynamics - As good as I would expect. Transfers In - None. Transfers Out - None. Youth Candidates - None. Due to having no academy and with the board refusing to set one up, no new players came through this season. Finances - We are in the black but only just as we are losing money every month. Key Players Elie Baud - The best player at the club. He was devastating on the right wing. António Silva - Despite playing in central midfield, he scored an impressive 12 goals in 22 appearances. Samuel Martínez - Central defender who was a rock for most of the season. Daniel Carmona - Midfield partner of António Silva, they linked up beautifully. Ismael Rodríguez - Converted into a striker, a return of 13 goals in 23 games was decent enough. Next Season I would be happy with survival.

XaW Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Follo FK - Season 2026 Review Table | Squad | Transfers | Finances I had hoped we could bounce back up this season, but in truth it was a bit of a poor season for us. We had some great games and some good wins, but we also had a few off-games where we lost when we should have won. So we were just simply not good enough to get up. We did finish in the playoffs, but we lost away to Aalesund in the semi final and got knocked out. I hope we can do better next season. In Norgesmesterskapet we beat Fyllingsdalen and Lørenskog before losing to Strømsgodset in the 3rd round. Youth No longer "golden generations", but I hope to get some good ones. Pretty good and better than I had feared from the preview. Hamzeh Ashtiani 26a is a good left back, but he can also feature on the left wing. Should be a nice addition to the squad. 2nd team: They only played friendlies this season. U19s: They finished 5th in the National U19 Championship. In the Norwegian U19 Cup they beat Hødd and Åsane before losing to Vålerenga in the 3rd round. Statistics: Spoiler This season we added Iran and Russia.

The_Gato_In_Goal Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Marchamalo - End of Season - June 2024 Another tough season in which we barely survived relegation. Started the season unbeaten in five matches, but with four draws. Towards the end of the season, we played four consecutive 0-1 losses before taking six points from our final five matches to beat the drop. Spoiler https//snipboard.io/WqYXVm.j Hopefully another year will allow our youth to develop a bit more. Nine academy graduates made double digit appearance this season. Spoiler Only lost about 20,000 pounds over the course of the year, so the finances are beginning to stabilize. Although having enough money to upgrade facilities seems a while away. Spoiler Had two players exceeding a 7.00 rating this time around. Will continue to give first team minutes to the youth prospects, the most promising of which include ST (C) Carlos Alberto (24a), AM (C) Abdoulaye Bagayoko (24b), AM (L) Abel Limón (24c), and D (C) José Javier Martín (22d) Edited May 2, 2021 by The_Gato_In_Goal 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we are good enough to push for the top 2 but we might just sneak into the playoffs. Led by our above average defense and we are putting up an average offense. Just need to get more shots on target. A goalkeeper toward the top of the youth intake has been missing in the past few seasons so this is a refreshing change. Hopefully, one of these forwards is a pure scorer. We need one of those. Soufanie Dghoughi 25A had an injury at the beginning of the season and is now clearly not even a rotation option in the midfield. I got him a match or two so he could be the first academy player to reach 500 appearances. Austin Power 31G will be the first academy player to score 100 goals. It's just a matter of time. Winger/midfielder Mike Johnson 29E has been only player to get consistent playing time with the national team but struggles to score goals. Dylan Adams 33C is one of the first names on the Welsh U21 team sheets but like Mike Johnson 29E, he struggles to score goals. Hugh Dickson 34K and Marks Dubrovskijs 37M have made a lot of appearances for the Northern Ireland and Latvia national teams respectively. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Gato_In_Goal Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Marchamalo - Youth Intake - April 2025 Pretty terrible intake, the players with the seven highest PA include five Unambitious, one Fickle, and one Temperamental talents. Spoiler Spoiler Nelson Caballero (25a) is the best of a bad bunch. With 10 finishing and 14/13 acceleration/pace, he should function as a backup striker in the future. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So If I pick a HoYD with no winger formation like 4312, how does this effect the intake? Imho it makes it more likely (but not for each and every player) that the players fit in a 4312. But often i noticed as well that the personality of the HoYD is obviously reflected in the intake. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlach Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 10 hours ago, Ronaldo Beckham said: What tactics are we all using as I am really struggling to win games at the moment and I am currently bottom of the German 3rd division with Aachen. I have tried a few tactics but none of them are working. I would usually use downloaded tactics but its not allowed on this challenge and now I am struggling. Right now in English National North i am using a 4-3-1-2 with two Mezzalas and a BWM at the center. Nothing fancy, but works quite well. But "my" league has less quality then yours ...

Proffa Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) I have been using 4-3-3 DM Wide like this one. I just adjust the roles to suit my players better, and mentality which is usually positive. The tactic works very consistently for me, especially when I'm the underdog. I rarely get any big victories but I like how the dedicated DM makes it defensively very solid.

DazRTaylor Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) End of Season Review Season 2022/23 Unió Esportiva Extremenya Season Summary After starting the season really well, injuries and suspensions caught up and we slipped to third place. We did qualify for Europe though. Season Details League Table - Overall a great first season in the top flight, though we were in a title race for most of the season. League Fixtures 1 & 2 - After being top of the league table with just eight league games remaining, we imploded and dropped to third. Copa Constitució - We made it through to the semi final before losing on penalties to C. E. Carroi. Pre Season Friendlies - With ten wins from twelve and no defeats, we had an exceptional pre season. Squad - We still have exactly same squad as last season. We really need to be allowed to set up an academy. Squad Dynamics - Exceptional. Transfers In - None. Transfers Out - None. Youth Candidates - As I am still not allowed to set up an academy, there are still no youth players coming through. Finances - We are in the black, though only just. Key Players Elie Baud - The Frenchman is the best player at the club by some distance. António Silva -The goal scoring midfielder had another good season. Daniel Carmona - Antíónio Silva's central midfield partner and one of our best performers. Ismael Rodríguez - The converted striker missed quite a few games through injury. Carlos Cuenca - Our goalkeeper earned plenty of points on his own. Next Season Finishing in the top four is the goal. I do feel we overachieved this season.

vikeologist Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Vikeologist's 2046/47 Folkestone Season Report For the first time in this challenge I was in real danger of relegation. In our first season in The Championship we stared very well, but in the middle of December our form went off a cliff, and we piked up 2 points in our next 14 matches. We were always at least 5 points above the relegation zone because thankfully some teams were poor all season, but it was only after our penultimate match that we were safe. 8 of my first XI are 21 or younger, so hopefully we’ll improve next season, but if we don’t, and get off to a bad start, we’ll probably be relegated. The board have agreed to improve our Youth Facilities again. We’re expanding the stadium, because we sell out every match and our finances are fine. There’s room for optimism off the pitch, but we need better players. According to my Ass Man (who does have good JPA) only 1 player (Jackson) is Championship calibre at the moment. Top Goalscorer – Dave Jackson 21b – 33 This position highlights my main problem. Jackson is great, but I don’t have a good enough second striker. Club legend Michael Morgan started most games alongside him, and did fine with 19 goals, but he’ll be 33 this summer. My other 2 main strikers were no help. Ellis Wiltshire only scoring every 250 minutes and long time starter, and still only 28, Jack Collett played 516 minutes without finding the net once. I have a stack of young promising strikers, so that second place is up for grabs. Jackson at 21 though is still improving, and might well go on to surpass Michael Morgan’s club record for goals. Highest Average Rating (minimum 10 matches played) – Dave Jackson 21b – 7.23 Man of The Match – Dave Jackson 21b – 9 Most Valuable Player– Dave Jackson 21b 2nd season in a row. Might not be his last. He is actually our best player according to my coaches. Most Appearances (Regens) – Jason ‘Nepotism’ Ramsay 1a – 719 Due to his unlikely holding on to his starting place, Michael Morgan is on 630 now, but there’s no way he has another 90 matches left in his career. Jason is still an unemployed manager. The occasional team shows an interest in him, but never offer him a job. Most Goals (Regens) – Michael Morgan 9a – 456 I keep publishing the obituary on his career, and he keeps refusing to bow out gracefully. Just short of his 33rd birthday, he’s still improving slightly, but he’s not that great a player at this level. He’s fast. We play attacking football and I don’t have anyone better. If he does play another full season, he might well break Fastbasher’s Bryan Pham Ba’s record of 472 in the Records thread. (A record that I’m sure many of you have shattered in the course of this challenge). The thing is, until either he starts declining, or someone else proves they can equal or exceed Morgan’s steady stream of goals, I’ll probably keep starting him.

Ronaldo Beckham Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I got sacked from Aachen so I had to start again and managed to get Aachen again. I spent more time on trying to find a tactic that worked and went with a a 4-2-3-1 vertical tika taka that is working well. I am currently 6th in the league with 6 games played. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
