Are the draft picks basically all the best new-gens?

Technically yes, but only from all the college/university teams in the US. They get into the MLS by the Draft.

 

For e.g. Mehmeti. I think he was the best player, you could've drafted.

 

He played for the Howard University and got selected to be in the MLS Draft. Their JC and YR is decent.

 

Every team still got their youth academy, where you can sign players from.

But thats the only thing you can do with the academy.

[Cheez3y]

Well...I guess we can play the Monopoly game pretty well.

 

Seattle got an injury crisis and are looking for CMs.

2nd rounder for 2024

250k GAM

7 players rights

 

Its a gamble.

Abu we signed only a emergency backup and developed into our first rotation option.

Now we need another CM, but I can call up someone from our B team if we need.

 

Spoiler

 

[Cheez3y]

Well...I guess we are taking part of the 2023 too.

The AI loves those player rights.

 

[MWFC_3]

Just like before, can we get updates on  England?

I can do that. The season 2021/22 should be done in the next couple of ingame days.

[Cheez3y]

Well..this was quick, we got the Abu replacement.

 

Since FC Dallas is the partner club for my FC Bayern, we can loan players in for free.

The loan gets converted into a SMS contact, which means he is pretty damn cheap.

 

[Cheez3y]

May 2022 - MLS - Western Conference

The team got a really nice form.

Joveljic is doin some work.

 

We are still fighting for the the number one spot in the West.

 

Coming Up

Big game against Colorado at the start of June.

Also we drew Kansas in the next round of the US Open.

 

---

 

NYRB is running away in the East and Montreal do it in 2nd place.

 

 

[Cheez3y]

I just looked up the media predictions again.

We went up to 4th place!

[Cheez3y]

June 2022 - US Open - 4th Round

It took extra time, but we beat Kansas in the end pretty convincing.

Joveljic with 6 goals again like he scored against Austin FC just 11 days ago.

 

Talking about Austin FC...5th round will be against Austin FC.

[Cheez3y]

We sent Schön back to Hungary.

He didnt impressed me in the preseason and so I just keep until someone wants him.

England - 2021/22

Spoiler

  

  

 

[Cheez3y]

June 2022 - US Open - 5th Round

Joveljic went easy on Austin FC, this game was all about Alvarez.

 

 

UFF...NYRB will probably the biggest task you can ask for.

[Cheez3y]

One thing about the MLS is, you always need to look for improvements when you can.

We signed Ba as budget option, because we need just a body.

 

Spoiler

 

Not only got Bell almost the same stats as Ba.

He got a Reserve contract until the end of the season, so its just a temporary option.

Ba was on a 140k Senior Contract until 2023, which counts to the Salary Cap.

 

Edited July 25, 2022 by Cheez3y

[Cheez3y]

I dont know what to expect from the intake in the MLS.

[Cheez3y]

The Ba replacement is in.

Another loan from our parent club Bayern.

 

Jamal Lawarence is an good prospect IRL, he is currently on loan at Magdeburg.

Also Jamal is 6'6 and you cant teach that!

We got him on loan until 2023 and he also counts only as SMS contract. 

Happy days for the Salary Cap.

 

[Cheez3y]

June 2022 - MLS - Western Conference

Joveljic is scoring and scoring. Thanks LA Galaxy.

 

 

Coming Up

Big game against NYRB in the cup.

In the league Dynamo, Timbers and 2x Earthquakes are looking that scary.

 

---

 

NYRB lost two games in June, maybe they are losing some steam.

 

[Cheez3y]

July 2022 - US Open - Quarter Final

Tough game against NYRB.

Well...we lost in injury of the extra time...

[Cheez3y]

Thats a pretty good rule.

[Cheez3y]

Brilliant stuff.

 

Spoiler

 

[Cheez3y]

July 2022 - MLS - Western Conference

Tough July. Idk why happend here.

Hopefully just a small drop in form.

 

 

Coming Up

Only two game in August, we will play both LA teams.

Good going. So you are competing in two leagues at once right?

The MLS is devided into two Conferences, East and West.

You play each team in your Conference 2 times and 1 time each team for the other Conference.

 

The Support Shield combines both Conferences into one.

It echoes the practice of the top European leagues in which the team with the best record is the champion.

 

It also determines who plays in the CONCACAF Champions League next season.

It also determines the order of the Super Draft.

 

The MLS Cup is the big one in the US, ita like winning the NBA Final.

The Supporter Shield is like winning the Premier League.

[Cheez3y]

MLS All-Star Game 2022

We got our first trophy of this save.

Completely smashed the Liga MX side.

[Cheez3y]

August 2022 - MLS - Western Conference

We are qualified for the Playoffs.

The team is back playing amazing.

 

 

Coming Up

6 games left to go in the Regular Season, then its Playoff time.

 

----

 

NRYB is also already qualified.

 

It seems like we still are in the mix for the Supporter Shield.

This would be amazing.

  

[MWFC_3]

Yikes, Bristol City coming closer to the Premier League, but when you managed them, you went up champions of the Championship (If I'm correct)

Yes, we promoted via Playoffs.

They looked pretty stong in this save too. Maybe they can do it on their own.

[ToMexico!!]

Joveljic on fire for Dallas. Just looked at him in my game, still at Galaxy but could easily be a lower end Prem striker. 

Good luck for the run. 

The contract/transfer/trade rules still confuse me.

Ty.

Yes Joveljic is too good for the MLS. Luckily nobody is interested in him.

 

I think Im slowly gettin used to the rules.

Its still mad compaired to the rest of the world.

[Cheez3y]

September 2022 - MLS - Western Conference

After a slow start to the month, we got back in form and finished the season strong.

We won the Regular Season in the Western Conference.

This gives us a bye in the 1st Round of the WC Playoffs.

 

 

---

 

NYRB finished 1st in the Eastern Conference.

[Cheez3y]

 

NYRB dropped two more game which means we also finished 1st in the Supporter Shield.

 

[Cheez3y]

MLS Playoffs 2022

 

Really excited.

Its possible to finish Dallas in our first complete season.

 

In my opinion this is highly possible.

We made some amazing trades and transfers, combined with the solid basis we already had here at Dallas..

[Cheez3y]

 

Seattle will be tough one.

 

 

In the East we got the New York battle.

 

 

[Cheez3y]

MLS Playoffs 2022 - Western Conference - Semi Final

Brilliant performance from Joveljic and Yedlin secures us the Conference final.

Edited July 26, 2022 by Cheez3y

[Cheez3y]

 

We got a pretty good record aganst Kansas.

Lets do this!

 

NYRB won the NY battle and will battle Orlando.

 

  

[Cheez3y]

Pretty good intake.

We only got 5 players, they got put directly into the academy.

 

Fisher will get a contract asap, he will be part of the squad next season.

I can also put now one of our two backups keepers on the waiver list.

 

[Cheez3y]

MLS Playoffs 2022 - Western Conference - Final

What a Conference final.

Two times Kansas got the lead and we managed to the equalizer.

 

In extra time Yedlin got injured and Quignon got sent off, so we need to play the last 10 minutes with only 9 man.

 

In an intense penalty shootout Bill Hamid not only saved one pen, he directly scored the winning pen by himself.

[Cheez3y]

 

We will play Orlando City for the MLS Cup.

For both team it would be their 1st.

 

 

 

[Cheez3y]

Our entire starting midfield is gone for the final..............................

Hopefully Yedlin can make it.

[Cheez3y]

MLS Cup 2022

Amazing performance from the entire team.

We won the MLS Cup!

[Cheez3y]

End Of Season Review 2022

 

 

We did it in our first season!

We won the Regular Season in the Western Conferece.

We won the Supporter Shield.

We on the Western Conference final.

And we won the MLS Cup.

 

Spoiler

 

Amazing team!

We found here a solid foudation with Alcivar, Quignon, Velasco and Obrian.

We combined that with some amazing trades like Hamid, Birnbaum and Joveljic.

We hit the jackpot with the Waiver claim of DeAndre Yedlin.

We found a veteran striker in Salomon Rondon, who helped Joveljic immense.

And we used our partner club FC Bayern and got some amazing talents like Tillmann and Lawrence.

End Of Season Review 2022 - Stats

We finished the chapter "FC Dallas" in our first season.

[LocalSoccerUSCoach]

May have missed it but what data base are you using for FM 22 that makes the lower leagues playable but not a pyramid?

[Hootieleece]

Are you going to continue with FC Dallas and maybe win the NACL? or Are you going to move on to another MLS Team?

[karanhsingh]

Congratulations on the MLS Cup win! Now for the champions league

I use this one here.

It make them playable, but there is no pyramid. The MLS is without relegation.

Tyty.

My time at Dallas is now over.

The NACL isnt really on my list, because it isnt that competitive. Its basicly USA vs Mexico.

And tbh with that team, it would be pretty easy.

You are welcome Mr. Hunt.

 

 

Spoiler

One team done, fourteen to go.

[Cheez3y]

We also entered the US Hall Of Fame.

[Cheez3y]

Well...this might a quick break.

Three options are already open.

LAFC, Inter Miami and NE Revolution.

 

[Cheez3y]

Just one day later we had the interview with LAFC.

They want that we reach the Conference final next season.

Well...LAFC finished on the last place this season.

 

I also talked to...David Beckham!

He want midtable new season, which sound possible.

 

[Cheez3y]

One day later we had the Revolution interview.

They want "not finishing bottom" as season goal.

Wow.
