shaunvamos Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 April 2028 It looks like we'll be finishing 4th in the league, and will make our debut in the Europa League as a result. Meanwhile in the Conference League, our journey is close to an end against Leverkusen, but to make the last 4 is an incredible achievement this early in the save. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 A lacklustre end to the season, but it's our best season yet. A comfortable 4th place and Europa League qualification, and a Conference League semi final. It's only going to get better from here, but the big 3 is proving hard to crack.

shaunvamos Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 November 2028 We've qualified comfortably for the Europa League knockouts, but what on earth is going on in the league?!

shaunvamos Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 December 2028 We have two strong wins against Boavista and Braga to end the year, could this be the turnaround we need? We have the chance to exact revenge on PSV, but there are some pretty scary teams here should we progress, including Sporting and Benfica. We're upgrading our facilities consistently, but I refuse to believe this. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunvamos Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 2029 Preseason Most of the players we had our eyes on chose to sign elsewhere over us, and given our limited finances I don't blame them. The one expensive signing for us is an emergency signing, as our starting keeper broke his leg and his season is done. Alanzinho is much better anyway. Goalkeeper Centre Back Striker A strong preseason against some decent teams. I'm a little apprehensive given last season's efforts, but I'd like Europe again.

shaunvamos Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 2030 Preseason Transfers An experiment in using a different way of recruitment using stats rather than attributes backfired spectacularly, but I might revisit it in a later save. None of these guys even make the subs, but they might develop later on. PAOK were no match for us, which is encouraging.

shaunvamos Posted May 14, 2022 Author Share Posted May 14, 2022 January 2031 Transfers (Out) A bit of a cleanout in January, with the only notable sale being our keeper Alanzinho to Arsenal for a strong price.
