[FM22] Secondo Posto...Vizemeister...Deuxième...Subcampeón...Runners-Up No More - Top 5 Journey Man - Chapter VIII - 1. FC Saarbrücken [Finished]

[Cheez3y]

Two game left to play in 2031.

5th place Nürnberg and 16th place Heidenheim.

[Cheez3y]

First action will be a new HoYD.

Mr. Roldan looks ok for this level.

 

 

Hopefully I can sign David Munoz once we are in the Bundesliga.

I would love to continue our work.

 

Spoiler

 

We also got a new DoF.

Yes...its "the" Rudi Garcia.

 

[Cheez3y]

Ok the last intakes teached me to ignore the previews.

So we will see.

[Cheez3y]

December 2031 - 2. Bundesliga

Huge W against Heidenheim.

Idk how we scored 6 goals, but we did.

 

 

Coming Up

After the winter break we got again two huge games.

If we win both, we can look upwards.

[Cheez3y]

The much needed improvements are in.

We got our starter for the AF - F9 - SS positions.

 

Two boys from Gijon.

Sanz should be pretty good for this level and Cruz is just always a decent backup.

[Cheez3y]

First transfer by Rudi Garcia.

We needed some depth in the wingback spot, he should do the job.

 

Spoiler

 

[Cheez3y]

January 2032 - 2. Bundesliga

We got the important W against Jena.

There is a nice gap forming to the relegation places.

 

 

Coming Up

Another big game coming up against 1860.

[Cheez3y]

February 2032 - 2. Bundesliga

Pretty insane month.

Against three top 5 teams we got 4 points.

 

 

Coming Up

Two away games against strong teams.

 

We got our first upgrade to the youth setup.

Edited July 9, 2022 by Cheez3y

[Cheez3y]

March 2032 - 2. Bundesliga

I expected those results, we probably even deserved a draw against Fürth.

 

 

Coming Up

Lets get as much points as possbile.

The higher we finish, the more money we will get.

 

[Cheez3y]

 

Decent intake for our youth setup.

Sadly Awudu is a winger, but I got high hopes for Kalinowski.

Natural wingback (A).

 

Spoiler

 

[Cheez3y]

April 2032 - 2. Bundesliga

Not playing good at the moment. We pretty much got only 11 players.

 

I want 10th place, but this will be tough.

 

Coming Up

Nürnberg will be the toughest one here.

[Cheez3y]

 

500 games for Marcos Ferreira...the connoisseur of the beautiful game.

 

[Cheez3y]

May 2032 - 2. Bundesliga

And with 7/9 points in May we finish the season in 12th.

We are above the magic 40 points mark.

 

 

Nice chunk of money.

With that we are finally in the green again.

Hopefully this give us some roam on the transfer market.

[Cheez3y]

Well the season is finish for us at Saarbrücken.

But Marcos Ferreira received 3 free tickets via email.

End Of Season Review 2031/32

 

Saarbrücken went into the season as relegation favorite.

We took over in November on place 16 and we managed to secure survival pretty quick.

 

Spoiler

 

The basis is ok, but we need a huge transfer summer.

The loans of Wrona, Schäffler and Fetai got all extended.

 

The goal for next season will be top half.

[Cheez3y]

End Of Season Review 2031/32 - Stats

 

First season finished at Saarbrücken.

 

[Cheez3y]

 

Thats not much, but we done miracles before.

 

[karanhsingh]

Awudu could be a good F9 i believe.

Possible, but would be a long way.

 

[Cheez3y]

Sporting Gijon 2031/32

Gijon with a solid season after our exit.

They were sitting for half a season 4th place, but then suddently they lost some steam.

 

CL/EL: They got 3rd in the CL group, so they got into the EL. There they got knocked out in the 1st KO round by Stuttgart.

Cope del Rey: Knocked out by Huesca in the 3rd round.

[Cheez3y]

Venezia FC - 2031/32

Another survival by Venezia.

They still got almost all the players I signed...sad.

 

Coppa Italia: Knocked out by Atalanta in the 3rd round.

[Cheez3y]

Bristol City 2031/32

Well...Bristol won the PL!

 

They failed to get the double...they lost in the FA Cup final to Newcastle.

 

I meant the national double...Bristol won the CL again!

[MWFC_3]

Way to go. Participation should be confirmed in the FIFA Club World Cup.

About the other English leagues, will you post them next time?

[Cheez3y]

England 2031/32

Spoiler

  

  

 

[Cheez3y]

The media sees us again fighting for relegation.

[Cheez3y]

Nice moral boosting preseason.

 

Lets see if I find the right additions to the squad.

[Cheez3y]

Nice we got a bye in the 1st round.

Neustrelitz is playing in the 5th tier.

[karanhsingh]

Wow Bristol! I am truly stunned by that. 

[Cheez3y]

idk what to say either.

They became "the" powerhouse in English football.

Yes, City keeps winning the league, but Bristol is better in the CL.

The game even says that Bristol is the best club in England currently.

August 2032 - 2. Bundesliga

Amazing start to the season.

Really excited for the season.

 

 

Coming Up

Fürth will be a tought one, the rest should be possible.

[Cheez3y]

Transfer Overview - Summer 2032

OUT

A lot of deadwood gone, over 500k wages saved.

 

IN

Peng and Kalu were made by Rudy Garcia.

I love me a Chinese player. And since we are in Germany, he will not be the last one.

 

A lot of free ones and loans, but we spent some money too for 3 players.

 

I think we did pretty well with all the limitation.

[Cheez3y]

Squad Overview - Summer 2032 Part 1

 

Goalkeeper

With the loan of Chrysostomou we are fine in teh GK spot.

He is not my desired SK, but a solid GK.

He will share some game time with Kutlu.

 

Spoiler

 

Centerback

Decent selection in the CB for the 2. Bundesliga.

We managed to extend the loan of Wrona, who is a star in the making.

 

Spoiler

 

Wingback

They all do the job for now, but here is a lot of room for upgrades.

 

Spoiler

 

Halfback

Another position where we need a big one.

Melchiot and Peng are fine for now.

 

Spoiler

 

[Cheez3y]

Squad Overview - Summer 2032 Part 2

 

Box To Box

Martins is our best man.

Again we can do better here.

 

Spoiler

 

Attacking Midfield

We managed to extend the loan of Fetai too.

He still looks good, but now he hates big matches...

Torabi is a free one from Iran. Nothing special, but maybe he develop good.

 

Spoiler

 

Striker

I think I found the perfect level for Cruz. He is a pretty good player for 2nd tier team.

Paunovic and Constanzo will fight for the F9 spot.

 

Spoiler

Its the only reason I signed him.

[Cheez3y]

September 2032 - 2. Bundesliga

Idk if we are just playing on high morale or we are really that good.

We won the game against Fürth with a 92min error from their keeper.

 

 

Coming Up

Two times Dynamo in October.

Also a big game against Freiburg.

[Cheez3y]

October 2032 - 2. Bundesliga

Two deserved losses against Dynamo and Rostock, but a really nice draw ves Freiburg.

And we managed to get into the 3rd round of the DFB Pokal by beating Dynamo.

 

 

Coming Up

Weird spells of games in November and December.

4 games in 2 months.

[MWFC_3]

So Bristol maybe plays in 2033.

November + December 2032 - 2. Bundesliga

Two wins and two losses to finish the year 2032.

 

What do I expect for the rest of the season?

I think we can finish between 3rd and 8th. 

One more year in the 2. Bundesliga + some additions to the squad and we are good to go for the Bundesliga.

 

Coming Up

We start the year 2033 against top of the table Hannover.

 

Also we got nice youth intake preview again.

[Cheez3y]

With the end of year 2032, this save will take a break.

Two weeks of holiday are waiting for me.

 

Idk if I got good internet or not.

If I got good internet, this one will continue or...

I might take still a break from this one and I do a small project in between.

Edited July 15, 2022 by Cheez3y

[Cheez3y]

I got decent internet, so this one will continue.

 

January 2033 - 2. Bundesliga

Huge win against Hannover and a wild fiesta against Nürnberg to start the year.

But a really bad game against Aue...

 

 

Coming Up

Nothing really scary in the league, so we might could  stay in the top 5.

And we got a cup game against Fürth.

 

 

One more transfer.

Guangfa is a veteran striker, who hopefully challenge for the F9 spot.

 

Spoiler

 

Edited July 17, 2022 by Cheez3y

[Cheez3y]

February 2033 - 2. Bundesliga

We traded the DFB Pokal against 4 Ws.

 

We got now a 6 point gap, I think we should consider to plan for the Bundesliga.

 

Coming Up

Fürth will be a tough game, Darmstadt and Lotto should be easy.

 

Another upgrade to the youth setup.

[karanhsingh]

Good to see you continuing with this!

[Cheez3y]

I took 2 days off completely.

I was more thinking about how I can improve the team for a potential Bundesliga season, then what to do next.

So it was clear, what to do next.

[Cheez3y]

March 2033 - 2. Bundesliga

We can keep up the pace, we even got past Hannover now.

The team is playing well and Cruz is playing he best football he ever played for me.

 

 

Coming Up

We will soon get the title race overview.

I think we got a good chance.

[Cheez3y]

Nothing special, not even worth mentioning anyone.

[MWFC_3]

Is Bristol City a confirmed participant of the FIFA World Club Cup 2033?

Also, I'm waiting for any news regarding said stadium.

April 2033 - 2. Bundesliga Part 1

We lost both important games, so we dropped to 3rd.
