Makoto Nakamura Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Got a bit bored in Northern Ireland so I've gone back a year and back to FM Touch where I'm going to try and make my way through each nation based on the league reputation and do a youth only challenge, starting with Spain and working my way down to I think Singapore? Each country will be a new save and I'll be holidaying a year and taking over a newly promoted team each time. Gimnástica Segoviana Club de Fútbol is a Spanish football team based in Segovia, the capital of the namesake province, in the autonomous community of Castile and León. Founded in 1928 as Sociedad Deportiva Gimnástica Segoviana, it plays in Segunda División RFEF – Group 1, holding home games at Estadio La Albuera, which has a capacity of 6,000 spectators (5,326 in terrace areas and 674 in the tribunes). On June 28, 1928 the club named S.D. Gimnástica Segoviana was officially created with Francisco del Barrio being elected as its first president. After playing since its foundation between Tercera División and the Regional leagues, Gimnástica Segoviana promoted to Segunda División B for the first time in 1999, but the club could not remain in the league and was immediately relegated after its first season in the third tier. In 2011, Gimnástica segoviana repeated success, this time after beating Arroyo CP, SD Noja and SD Logroñés in the promotion play-offs, but again was relegated in the next season. Five years later, the club would come back to the third tier after beating Atlético Malagueño by a huge 4–1 overall in the promotion play-offs. I decided not to go with the most difficult of teams (semi-pro, local rep and poor facilities) as I didn't want to tart with the impossible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 2021/22 Pre-Season We did well against non-Rayo sides. Predicted mid-table. Hopefully we can live up to expectations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 2021/22 First Half Half a season in 20 minutes? Amazing. We're just above our predicted finish at the halfway point which is pretty good with just 15 players! We lost one of our starting centrebacks to Europa in October.

Makoto Nakamura Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 2021/22 Youth Candidates We had four players come through. At least they're good players! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 2021/22 End of Season Review Smack bang where we were predicted with a nice gap between ourselves and Lealtad in 11th with us also only being five points off of Coruxo in 5th. Unfortunately Ivan Sales won't be renewing his contract as he is currently on £1,400 p/w and won't go less than £2,400 p/w so we'll struggle without his assists next season. No best eleven this season since we used grey players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 2022/23 Pre-Season A narrow loss to Rayo and we drew Atletico's B team so that's a good pre-season for us! Predicted to do worse than last season and I'm not even surprised by that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 2022/23 First Half A surprisingly strong first half of the season and we're right up in 2nd! I don't expect this small squad of aging players to keep up as the season drags on (7 of our 18 players are 32 or older!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 2022/23 End of Season Review Our small, old squad couldn't keep up with the pace. 13 points from a possible 45 saw us fall down to 9th, which, despite being five points worse off than last season is still a place higher. Yes I remembered to add a facepack! Still no best xi since we didn't have a full squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 2023/24 Pre-Season We faced a different Rayo so we could win. Sliding down the table. Fran didn't want to renew his contract and backup David retires. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 2023/24 First Half I don't see us surviving, half the squad are 34, the other half are 17. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 2023/24 End of Season Review A season of two halves! Thankfully a great 2nd half sees us stay in the league for another season but we have Manu Blanco retiring at 38 and Pablo (YP1c) refusing a new contract so we'll be losing him as well. 2023/24 Best XI Pablo Carmona Dave Humphries - Rafa - Alejandro Nogueira - Pablo (YP1c) Manu - Alfredo (YP1a) Javier Gonzalo Saiz Dani Arribas - Adrian Navarro (YP2a) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 2024/25 First Half A much better first half of the season than last season! We still just need to keep our heads above water whilst the old guard phase out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 2024/25 End of Season Review The second worst defence in the league, there is no way that we would have survived without Adrian Navarro's goals.

Makoto Nakamura Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 2025/26 Pre-Season A strong pre-season. Just survive, I'm anxous this season could be our last as 12 of our 23 players are out of contract at the end of the season and are unwilling to consider a new contract.

Makoto Nakamura Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 2025/26 First Half Thankfully I managed to get almost everyone to sign a new contract when we had our good spell of form so now we just have Manu who's retiring at the end of the season and Alfredo (YP1a) who's saying we're not big enough for him, which is a shame.

Makoto Nakamura Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 2025/26 End of Season Review Another 12th placed finish. We'll lose a couple more players at the end of the season with Manu retiring and with Alfredo (YP1a)'s contract expiring. Our starting goalkeeper is about to turn 38 as well so I think he'll be retiring which will take us back down to 24 players so we are slowly getting to a younger team with now only six players over the age of 24. Overall Best XI 2025/26 Best XI Pablo Carmona Alberto (YP2d) - Rafa - Jorge (YP3a) - Dave Humphries Ivan Castellano (YP1d) - Alfredo (YP1a) Juan Miguel Lara (YP2c) Gonzalo Saiz Jonathan Espinoza (YP3b) - Adrian Navarro (YP2a) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 2026/27 Pre-Season A great pre-season for us! Survival again please, we are starting with a 38 year old goalkeeper still as 1st choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 2026/27 First Half I wouldn't say we've done too great but we are right up in 5th but wit just three points separating 5th and 11th we're very quickly able to slide back down the table.

Makoto Nakamura Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 2027/28 End of Season Review Massively mediocre, next season will be more difficult as I couldn't renew the contracts of two players, Adrian Navarro wish his 112 goals in 167 appearances and Alberto with 133 appearances. They will both be sorely missed. Overall Best XI 2027/28 Best XI Gaoussou Diallo (YP2b) Alberto (YP2d) - Robert Aparicio (YP3e) - Jorge (YP3a) - Dave Humphries Jose Castellano (YP4c) - Alejandro Nogueira Juan Miguel Lara (YP2c) Borja Gonzalez (YP1b) Jonathan Espinoza (YP3b) - Adrian Navarro (YP2a) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 2028/29 Pre-Season Poor against the bigger sides, no surprise there.

That's correct, although I think this is over after 10 seasons. 😂 no money and no contracts can be renewed. Think my next stop will be the fallen giant of El Nacional, the Ecuadorian Bilbao.
