I was casually reading this topic, since I like academy/youth focused games, and then I see my.... self.  Or my namesake, neither name nor surname are that rare in Serbia. Good to know there is alternative me who made it into the top tier football. 

He’s the captain and likely to retire at the club, so the alt you is a club favourite!

And IRL, thank you for Aleksandar Mitrović 😍

I always felt like he was even a bit underachieving, that he had more talent but somehow never rose to his full potential. Well this season he is devastating, and I hope he continues next season in the EPL as well.

August 2035 Transfer Window

INCOMING

Transfers IN:

• AML Jannis Marcinkovic (£850k, 1860 München) Work Rate: 14, Pace 15, Technique: 14- DNA: PASSED

Again, a decent enough buy for our problem ML spot. It's a throwing-s***-at-a-blanket method
 

• AMLC/ST Gaizka Bengoetxea (£100k, R. Club Victoria) Work Rate: 13, Pace 10, Technique: 14- DNA: FAILED

He's 16 and could become DNA-compliant within the next few years. If not, profit.
 

• DRLC Axel Schaub (£850k, Schalke 04) Work Rate: 15, Pace 14, Technique: 14- DNA: PASSED

Never a bad thing to have cover at full back. Wouldn't be a full time player however.
 

• M/AML Afonso Carvalho (£650k, Boavista F.C) Work Rate: 15, Pace 14, Technique: 13- DNA: PASSED

Gone a bit mad here. Think he'll be another Sascha Aachner...
 

• DC Breno Andrade (£135k, Sport Club Corinthians Paulista) Work Rate: 14, Pace 14, Technique: 12- DNA: PASSED

Hoping for the same lightning in a bottle I got with Celinho..

 

Transfers OUT:

DC Mertin Dereli (£6m, 1.FC Heidenheim 1846 )

 

We've bought a lot of filler this season to help our squad, but I can't see us keeping any of them for too long.

Not the best looking intake. I wonder what it'll net us in real terms

[Deisler26]

For me, the biggest issue in this whole thing, is our poor Scoring, but that may be to do with the talent available to us

[Deisler26]

Welcome to an ongoing segment where every Jan 1, I highlight the top 5 prospects for that year in my U-19 side, so we have an accurate year-on-year snapshot of what is in our youth system. I will also provide the snapshot of when the player entered our system so we can have an comparison of when they joined. Every year they are on the Future Watch, we'll provide the previous year's screenshot and stats.

With that in mind, I present to you, the 2036 Future Watch.

 

1. Telis Pseftis - DM/MLC

2033 Entry -  U-19
2035 - Hansa Rostock (on loan), 11 games, 1 goals, 0 assists, 6.84 avg rating.

This year's #1 Future Watch prospect is a player that was thrust into first team football last season, playing a few games as cover for injuries, but was put back in the youth team to continue his development before his loan move

 

2. Michael Gauner- WBL/DM/MLC/AMC

2035 Entry -  U-19
2036 - U-19, 28 games, 1 goals, 4 assists, 7.41 avg rating.
            First Team, 1 games, 0 goals, 0 assists, 6.90 avg rating.

Our #2 prospect is a very recent entry as he only came into the academy last season, but he could be the spiritual heir to Timo Wolf

 

3. Johannes Barion - ML

2035 Entry -  U-19
2036 - U-19, 9 games, 2 goals, 3 assists, 7.43 avg rating.

Our #3 prospect is only 16, so he'll have plenty of time to develop!

 

4. Niko Wagner - GK (formerly #5 in 2035)

2034 Entry -  U-19
2035 - U-19, 18 games, 5 goals conceded, 13 clean sheets, 7.21 avg rating.
2036 - Hansa Rostock (on loan), 11 games, 7 goals conceded, 5 clean sheets, 7.11 avg rating.

Our second player to be on Future Watch for a second season. Niko has climbed up a place and looks to be a real talent for the future 

 

5. Festim Kastrati - DC/WBL/MC (formerly #2 in 2035)

2034 Entry -  U-19
2035 - U-19, 5 games, 0 goals, 1 assists, 8.12 avg rating
2036 - Hansa Rostock (on loan), 12 games, 0 goals, 1 assists, 6.85 avg rating

A drop due to the talent coming in, sees our premier defensive prospect stay on the list just barely

 

2035 Future Watch

David Bock - graduated to first team
Festim Kastrati - on loan at Hansa Rostock, #5 on this season's Watch
Jenthe Achten - graduated to first team
Armin Braun - on loan at Hansa Rostock
Niko Wagner - on loan at Hansa Rostock, #4 on this season's Watch

Just another sign of the sublime job you developing talent!! It’s something I need to improve on vastly, there is definitely a lot to be learned from yourself.

It's also the courage to sell off good talents in order to develop others. Kurz wasn't particularly brilliant when he came in, but giving him games has seen his development skyrocket

[Deisler26]

January 2036 Transfer Window

Trimming the fat

Transfers IN:

-NONE-

 

Transfers OUT:

M/AMR Yannick Starke (£195k, 1.FC Heidenheim 1846 )

ML/AMC Andrew Okoye (£10m, Fortuna Düsseldorf)

AMRC/ST Nils Hartmann (£5m, AZ Alkmaar)

DRL/WB/M/AML Roméo Sangaré (£10m, FC Augsburg)

D/WBR Troy Doherty (£25m, Leeds United)

 

Absolute raid on Deadline Day, but we needed to trim the fat and allow some players through, so there had to be departures

So, our 2036 academy scholars came in and We're still at Exceptional Youth Coaching and Exceptional Youth Recruitment. As ever, we will sign all the youth players and work on their flaws. When it comes to professional contracts, it'll be only the DNA qualifiers that get a contract.

I think we have two good talents and not much else here...

Let's look at the top 3 DNA prospects.

 

• M/AMLC Jonas Einser - Work Rate: 15, Pace 15, Technique: 16 - DNA: PASSED

Oh baby. Oh baby, baby. This guy could be our hero, the one talent to surpass Kurz

 

• D/DM/AMC Karsten Wolters - Work Rate: 14, Pace 15, Technique: 11 - DNA: PASSED

Yeah, he'll be a good defender and one that hopefully will stick with us a long time.

 

• AML/ST Dennis Lehmann - Work Rate: 14, Pace 14, Technique: 11 - DNA: PASSED

This guy was buried down in the 'Decent Prospects' section. It says something that he was the only other player in the DNA-passing catagory...

[Deisler26]

 

#23 - Festim Kastrati, FC Hansa Rostock (on loan from FC Viktoria 1899 Berlin)

#43 - Telis Pseftis, FC Hansa Rostock (on loan from FC Viktoria 1899 Berlin)

#47 - Máté Bánki, FC Viktoria 1899 Berlin

Not the most inspiring of lineups. Both Kastrati and Pseftis are on their because of their age working for them IMO. Bánki has his THIRD year on the list, dropping again from 41 to 47.

[ManUtd1]

That's what I love about them NxGn footballers... I get older, they stay the saaaame age...

Season 15 in the books and once again, we concentrated on the cups, finishing in 10th place in 1.Bundesliga, for the second year in a row, as middling as you could get. We ended up as DfB Pokal Winners as we beat fellow 1.Bundesliga side FC Augsburg, 1-0 after extra time. We had a good run in the UEFA Champions League, beating Atalanta, Real Sociedad and Qarabağ FK in the knockout stages, before taking Manchester City to the wire before losing in the Quarter Final, 3-4 on aggregate. We improved minutely to 13th in Goals Scored this season, and improved defensively to 5th in Goals Conceded. We struggled playing the second team in the league this season once again, but considering it's brought us another piece of silverware, it'll be something I'll do next season too.

Now we're over 5 years into the game and this save is all about trying to get the cream of youth into the team, we'll start to look at my historical youth intakes. At the end of every season, I'll go back and look at an intake from my time here at Viktoria Berlin and see if the key prospects worked out? Or if they flamed out, never to be seen again.

So, for this edition, let's look at the Class of 2031 intake

We'll concentrate on the Top 3 DNA prospects, unless there are any notable deviations. The key prospects in this intake were goalkeeper Christian Kurz, left midfielder Andrew Okoye and midfielder Timo Wolf

 

Christian Kurz

Then. 15 years old, FC Viktoria 1899 Berlin

Now. 20 years old, FC Viktoria 1899 Berlin

Christian hot-housed for a while in the U-19's, but then quickly progressed to backup, then first team status. In his time at the club, he has made 132 appearances in all competitions, scoring 3 goals and assisting 5 times for an average rating of 7.24. 

Christian has also made 13 appearances for Germany's U-21 side, scoring 1 goal. In terms of silverware, he has two DfB Pokal & one UEFA Europa League winners medals and was ranked #1 in the 2035 NxGen Awards, along with collecting the Fritz Walther U-17 & U-19 Medals, along with the 2035 European Golden Boy trophy

 

Andrew Okoye

Then. 15 years old, FC Viktoria 1899 Berlin

Now. 20 years old, Fortuna Düsseldorf

Andrew was another good left midfielder in a chokepoint. In his time at the club, he has made 76 appearances in all competitions, scoring 11 goals and assisting 9 times for an average rating of 7.21. In January 2036, however, he was sold for £10m + 50% sell on to Fortuna Düsseldorf, where he went to to make 11 appearances for the club with one assist for an average rating of 6.77

Andrew has made 4 appearances for Germany U-21's, scoring one goal and has a decent haul in his medal drawer, picking up UEFA Europa League, UEFA Super Cup and DfB-Pokal winners medals.

 

Timo Wolf

Then. 15 years old, FC Viktoria 1899 Berlin

Now. 20 years old, 1. FC Köln

Timo was, in essence, the same as Kurz, although his breakthrough came through earlier. In his time at the club, he made 88 appearances in all competitions, scoring 14 goals and assisting 14 times for an average rating of 7.19. Sadly, his MRC was activated in January 2035 and he went off to 1. FC Köln for £17.75m, where he's made 55 appearances for the club already, scoring 2 goals and assisting 8 times for an average rating of 6.94

Timo did well in his time at the club, making two appearances for the full Germany side, after making his debut against the United States in November 2035. He also made 20 appearances for the Germany U-21 side as well, scoring 5 goals and picking up a UEFA U-21 European Championship winners medal! In terms of personal honours, Timo has the 2033 Vereinigung der Vertragsfußballspieler award for best newcomer, also winning the Fritz Walther U-19 medal and coming runner-up in the 2034 Nx-Gen Awards, to go with his UEFA Europa League and DfB Pokal winners medals.

Season 16, and we're closer to spending 20 years here than 10.. We were once again tasked with Finishing Mid-Table, reaching the Quarter-Final of the DfB Pokal, attempting to make the knockout rounds in the UEFA Europa League. All of this with a £5.5m p/w wage budget and £565m warchest.

Team on 1 July looks like this

Second year in a row, we are sorted with our DNA. Now going forward, we need to keep it at this level.

[Deisler26]

Should be an easy way through the group stages

[ManUtd1]

That group is tres horny, as the French say.

Many thanks for reading. I’ve shuttered it for an FM23 save when it comes out!
