Sheriff7 828 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Oh!CL group stage so soon! Can you show us your tactic,we could get some ideas. Link to post Share on other sites
shaunvamos 826 Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 We lose to Barcelona, but we finish 3rd and will continue in the Europa League knockouts! Best XI Gabriele Capanni - Anton Groznica - Luka Imnadze Capanni proved to be the buy of the season, perhaps even of the save so far. 32 assists! Groznica was also very impressive in his set piece scoring, and our strikers called 71 goals between them. The only problem with that is now big teams have noticed us, and Juventus want Matejka. So this might be the last we'll see of him. Record Breakers Progress Link to post Share on other sites

I'm using a downloaded tactic, one of Knap's, but all the positions, roles and instructions make sense to me in a logical football sense. But I think when I finish with Lithuania I'm going to experiment with a tactic of my own and see what happens! Link to post Share on other sites
shaunvamos 826 Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Preseason 2026 Pretty straightforward preseason, in preparation for our Europa League fixture against Fiorentina. Transfers (In) I'm really excited about Cartagena, I threw bit of money I could at him, and he chose us over PSG and Juventus. So he must have something special! Transfers (Out) Link to post Share on other sites
shaunvamos 826 Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 February 2026 Fiorentina proved too strong for us. Now we have domestic domination to look forward to until July. Transfers (Out) Just getting rid of some non-Lithuanians to give them a chance in the subs. Link to post Share on other sites

shaunvamos 826 Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 (edited) July 2026 Flawless domestically, and we did quite well in the Champions League qualifiers, but we shouldn't have conceded 3 to Elfsborg (the xG was 4-0 to us). Transfers (Out) Zilinski didn't quite cut it for us, but we sold him for 4 times what we bought him for. Edited February 25 by shaunvamos Link to post Share on other sites
shaunvamos 826 Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 August 2026 We got lucky against Ludogorets, but then easily disposed of Rijeka to reach our second straight Champions League groups. We were not rewarded with an easy draw: I'm just hoping to keep the scores respectable. Link to post Share on other sites
shaunvamos 826 Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 2026 Youth Intake 4 players from this intake, which isn't too bad. Link to post Share on other sites
shaunvamos 826 Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 September 2026 We definitely kept the score close against Napoli and Bayern, which I'm very happy with. Link to post Share on other sites
shaunvamos 826 Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 October 2026 We finish the league with our bets performance yet, and an entertaining game against United doesn't go our way. The board finally agreed to max out our training facilities at the fourth time of asking. My time at this club is nearing its peak. Link to post Share on other sites
shaunvamos 826 Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 November 2026 We got a win! Still knocked out, but a win against United is amazing. Matejka had a great month with 5 goals from 3 games which I thought was worth mentioning. Link to post Share on other sites
shaunvamos 826 Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 Predictable loss to Bayern, but we can be happy with our efforts in this group. The good thing about not being in any knockout stages is that we can now go wild in the transfer market (we're restricted to 3 replacements for the knockout stages). Best XI Gabriele Capanni - Anton Groznica - Lukas Matejka Capanni was an assist machine once again this season, and Matejka scored at a rate of more than 1 goal a game. It's hard to see where the squad needs improvement, but that's when I'll consult the attribute analysis screen. Record Breakers Awards Progress Link to post Share on other sites
shaunvamos 826 Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 Preseason 2027 Pretty comfortable again, going 8-0 against two top division Ukrainian teams is nice as well. Transfers (In) We spent a fair bit of money by our standards this transfer window, bringing in 2 strikers (one immediate & one for the future), a right back and a centre mid who showed up in my box to box filter but not the DLP filter. Turns out he's a DLP in disguise with a rating of 89.27. Wow! Transfers (Out) With the purchase of Sirabidze, we went over our foreign player limit, and Thomson was an unfortunate casualty. He had a great career over nearly 5 seasons for us. Link to post Share on other sites
shaunvamos 826 Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 February 2027 Haramustek made an immediate impact in his league debut, scoring 4 and assisting 1 in our 8-1 drubbing of Hegelmann. Link to post Share on other sites

shaunvamos 826 Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 June 2027 Matejka continues his outstanding form. He's now scored 25 goals in 12 league games. Link to post Share on other sites
shaunvamos 826 Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 July 2027 Matejka gets his 4th 5 goal haul of the season, and we deal comfortably with Sheriff. Next up we have an Albanian team, so that should also be pretty straightforward. Transfers (In) Anderson is another winger from South America that I'm really excited about. He's rated at 89.73 at just 18, so I'm not expecting we'll hold him for long. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
shaunvamos 826 Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 August 2027 We were absolutely crushed by Copenhagen in the Champions League, but it's probably for the best. We get a decent Europa League group as a result. Copenhagen got Man United, Bayern and Lille. So they'll probably get destroyed. At this point I feel like only Arsenal will beat us. But who knows! I thought I'd just mention Dundalk as well, as they have become the first Irish team to reach the group stage of the Champions League! That doesn't mean I won't be going there later on, but I probably won't choose Dundalk when I go there. Link to post Share on other sites
shaunvamos 826 Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 September 2027 Goals galore this month, including a 6-1 win against Arsenal. How we managed to only draw against Austria Wien is beyond me. Link to post Share on other sites
shaunvamos 826 Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 2027 Youth Intake I have no idea how this is considered a good intake when compared to the previous ones we've had. Someone is getting the sack. On second thought, those 2 CMs don't look too bad! Link to post Share on other sites

shaunvamos 826 Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 (edited) Another good win over Arsenal and we have topped our Europa League group, and we did it undefeated! Best XI Gabriele Capanni - Borna Haramustek - Lukas Matejka Our strikers combine for more than 100 goals, and Capanni again tops the assist charts by a mile. For the first time in a while a CM has a green average rating which is nice to see. Record Breakers Matejka with a clean sweep.

shaunvamos 826 Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 Preseason 2028 Pretty straightforward preseason, something we've come to expect. Transfers (Out) I have brought no one new into the team, as no one in our scouting knowledge has an overall rating higher than anyone in our first team. I think that's a good sign. We sell a couple of veterans, but they were phased out of the team long ago. Link to post Share on other sites

His reply is below: On 21/02/2021 at 02:13, Toin said: Nah I have no idea, but my guess would be to a country that is one spot away in the coefficient ranking for an automatic spot in one of the European competitions. I also gave all the first team players in the Lithuanian teams 200 CA and PA to make sure they stayed on top of the ranking. Suduva got relegated and won the Champions League haha, and the EL final was a Lithuanian affair too. Still, only the 6 teams that were currently in the league qualified for European competitions. I didn't holiday any further, but it seems that the only way second tier squads could qualify is through the cup. Link to post Share on other sites

That leaves a very exciting finale to the group, where we could finish top or bottom of the group. Link to post Share on other sites
