leyrtj Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Season 14 - Atletico CP - Liga NOS - 6th Well, a much better season than last. We finished 6th in the league, following a great run of form in the second half of the season. We also won the Europa Conference League, and had a nice draw along the way - the hardest team we played as Hamburg in the final. We looked like we might compete for the top 4 places and CL qualification but our Oct - Dec form was awful. I still feel we're a few seasons away from challenging for the league, but the squad feels better and is young enough that it has more progression. We also got more upgrades to Youth and Training, meaning we're maxed out in Youth Recruitment and Academy Coaching, and Great Youth Facilities. All looking good, we just need to push on next season and break the top 4. A much better youth intake than last season, with 3 good talents. We now have 3 really good stiker prospects, as opposed to none two season back. Conversely after being overloading with talent in midfield two seasons ago, we're a bit short, after the board sold our second best centre mid. I still don't feel we're getting any super talents, winning champions league talents, but hoefully with the facilities upgrades and European football, they aren't too far off. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 On 22/02/2023 at 09:41, Daddy said: 2031-32 Season Review: Late in the season, we lost our keeper. The backup is a significant dropoff and we went from challenging for the league to a comfy 3rd place. Disappointing to end up in Europa League Instead of the Champions League, but we go right into League Phase at least. We had a really tough draw but managed to do well enough to claim the final playoff spot in the league phase. The score in the Real Madrid game is misleading as it was 1-0 until the 80th minute. two late goals to put it out of reach. Other than Milan we hung in with all the teams in the league phase. Porto in the playoff was a tough draw as well. The first match was a back-and-forth draw, but in the second leg we got thumped by the eventual winners of the Champions League. Overall I'd call it a successful run as we weren't completely run out of the competition. We had the most wins in the league we've had, but more losses which cost us valuable points since we couldn't turn them into draws. Still more progress season over season. Two repeat wonderkids. The first-place guy is our star goalie. Sadly he's in the final year of his contract and won't sign a new contract. As you can see from the finances there's no real reason to see the wonderkid so I'll just run the contract down and hopefully get one more good season out of him. Youth Facilities was downgraded and I haven't had a chance to upgrade yet. Stadium was expanded to 10K which finished halfway through the season. Youth Intake: Another varied intake. I signed all the players with three gold star potential. 2032-33 Season preview: There have been repeating champions but the league is frequently won by different teams so no one team has dominated the league. As it's been for the last few seasons and will be going forward, I want to make a push to win the league and hopefully start to develop into that team that dominates. Newcastle and Freiburg are tough draws, but the rest are teams at or below levels we've beaten before so I expect to make the playoffs/knockouts in the Europa League. I'm in lurk mode for the time being. Wanted a little break from the challenge with my backup journeyman save getting interesting and a bunch of new games I'm playing. No updates for a while, but I'm following along with everyone else's journeys! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P O\'D Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) Lokeren Tense 35-36 Season. So could we follow up last seasons Euro success and 3rd place finish? Well no, no we couldn't. The game refactored how good it thought we were and we had a tough time for the first half of the campaign. Europe Champions League We began the season in the CL Qualfiiers and Rangers quickly showed us we were out of our depth. That said it was 1-1 in the 2nd leg after and hour and a red card ended up but we were outplayed in both games. Europe Europa League: Losing to Rangers should have put us in a Europa Playoff but for some reason we started in the group stage, I have no idea why, bug maybe? Either way 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in the groups was super impressive and though we narrowy missed out on auto qualification for the Last 16, I was quite happy. Atalanta were in no mood to underestimate us though and only losing 10-5 really flattered us. It could have been 15. Europa Table Spoiler Belgian League: In the league we didn't do as well as last season but did make the Champions group and a fine 4th place. 5 wins 1 draw and 4 losses in the Champions Group is not as amazing as last season but still super given our ability in relation to our rivals. We really are abject failures when it comes to the Belgian Cup. The Squad: Spoiler The Stats: Spoiler 3.5 Star + Players: Spoiler Youth: Spoiler Youth Picks: Spoiler Off the Pitch.

Popular Post dkouv Posted March 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) Operário dos Açores – Season 1 (2023/24) - Campeonato de Portugal I decided to give the challenge a go in Portugal this year, and was tempted to start in the Azores islands. Not like I’m there in real life I guess, but still, the thought of living in what I assume is an idyllic village on a paradise-like island is a nice distraction. Campeonato de Portugal We started off great and were in the playoff spots around Christmas, but once the players got tired our form dropped off massively. Still finished a respectable 5th. Although, that's only 5 spots and 8 points above relegation places, this league is tough! Players: Apart from not having a left back, the first 11 seems decent for this level, but some of them are really ageing and there is ZERO depth. Paulo Bessa did well, banging in 25 out of our 50-ish goals this season. Youth intake: Looks terrible despite some 4.5* PA players, hope this is just a blip and not a trend. Facilities: Managed to upgrade youth coaching and recruitment, but our basic youth facilities seem to be holding us back. Hope I can upgrade coaching at least one more time next year to give ourselves a chance of getting out of this division.

Popular Post XaW Posted March 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2023 XaW - Lusitânia Açores - Season 2023/24 (Season 1) - Campeonato Nacional Prio Squad | Transfers | Finances I took over the club since I thought it would be fun to play as a club from a small island, but as I found out rather quickly, the club had some really good players and were fully professional! Really happy with that of course, but I also found out, or rather remembered, about the draconian homegrown rules in the Portuguese lower leagues. 14 homegrown in every squad, and I don't have more than 8 homegrown in total. So I had to leave 6 spots on the bench open for all games. Good times! And it also meant than I couldn't play with more than 6 of the non-homegrown players at any given time. So that was fun to revisit since last time I played here... And when I finally got the intake, well those are not homegrown either, at least not yet. Most will during the summer, so I should have a full bench at least next season. Anyway, back to the club, we have 4 Colombian players with the last name Mosquera, strangely enough, and none of them have each other as family or anything, so I don't know if it's random or something else. Still a rather funny thing. Even if we did gain promotion, the season actually started quite bad, as we only won 1 of the first 6 matches. After that we did go on a 10 game win streak though, so it was clear we were a favourite to go through to the promotion playoff and eventually we did with a bit of a margin. There we ran away with it and secured promotion. In the final for the crown, however, we lost to Sertanense, but promotion was the most important thing anyway. The board decided to install a grass pitch at the stadium, I assume due to league rules. Currently we have synthetic, but apparently that's not allowed in the 3rd tier. Taça de Portugal: We beat Fontinhas before we lost to 2nd tier side Torreense on pens in the 2nd round. B team They only played friendlies this season. U19s They finished 4th in the Portuguese U19 Azores Division this season.

DazRTaylor Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 End of Season Review Season 2025/26 Macclesfield Season Summary We were decent in the league and flirted with the promotion playoffs though we were very poor in both cup competitions. Season Details League Table - We finished in tenth place which I am delighted with. League Fixtures 1 & 2 - A dreadful February put paid to any lingering hopes I had of a promotion playoff spot. F. A. Cup - We crashed out at the third qualifying round stage away to league rivals Peterborough Sports, who needed extra time and a replay to beat us. F. A. Trophy - I played a weakened side in the second round as we went out at home to Darlington, who play in the same division as us. Friendlies - It was a very mixed bag of results with more losses than wins. Squad - Our squad over achieved this season though we do have a good core of players. Squad Dynamics - It is rather good, isn't it? Transfers In - None. Transfers Out - None. Youth Candidates - It wasn't a great intake though players such as right sided midfielder Collen Nyabinde YP26C3 have some potential. Finances - We have a very healthy bank balance as we made a profit this season. Key Players Rio Dasilva - The right back was our most consistent performer. James Berry - Our best outfield player showed why with his performances on the left wing. Sam Warburton - Competent at either full back position, he was predominently used at left back and didn;t let anyone down. Anthony Miley - The vastly experienced centre back held our defence together. Joe O'Shaughnessy - Our goalkeeper won us many points on his own. Refuses to sign a new deal so can leave at any point. Next Season A repeat of a safe mid table finish would be great.

Popular Post karax268 Posted March 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2023 Louletano Desportos Clube - End of season review 2027/28 League fixtures | Playoff fixtures | Supporters | Transfers After giving up I tried several other saves but none stuck, so I came back and finished this weird season. After relegating from Liga 2 last year I was confident we would be among the stronger teams. When we had 4 points after the first four matches i assumed we had a slow start and things would kick into gear. Things did not. Short season meant we did not have time enough to find our form. We finished 9th of 10 in the league, still i was carefully optimistic about our chances in the relegation playoffs. We did not do terrible, truly. But it was not enough. Technically we did better than Beira-Mar but since they finished 5th they started this stage with more points than us. We are going back to where it all began. the Campeonato de Portugal Prio D. This may be the weirdest save I've ever done. In 5 years we went from the 4th tier to the 2nd and back again. We only repeated a level once. The other times we either relegted or became champion. The cup Decent showing during a part of the season we still had hopes off a good season. Youth Intake Worst intake of the save, but still some usefull players. Off the field Finances are still bad. We are kept afloat by investments, that's it. However, for the first time this save the board agreed to upgrade a facility Unfortunately our youth facilities themselves are behind the times it seems. It seems we just can't have nice things this save. Next season I very nearly gave up on this save, but for now I'll continue. I won't make predictions about next season. The squad will be for the first time entirely made up off academy players. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Winski Posted March 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) Well, after many, many reloads the team I started a save with just before the Winter Update (Tiverton Town) never came up again. But there were some other very interesting teams. I was very happy when I saw this club promoted to the Vanarama National League South: Cray Wanderers FC According to their website and Wikipedia it's the oldest club from London, and even one of the oldest clubs in the world: Quote Cray Wanderers Football Club is an English semi-professional football club based in Sidcup, London. Based on later reports, the club has a claim to have been established some time in 1860 in the twin villages of St Mary Cray and St Paul's Cray, near Orpington.[3] Such a date would make it one of the oldest football clubs in the world. They currently play their home matches at Bromley's Hayes Lane ground (capacity 5,000). The club are in the process of building their own stadium at the former Flamingo Park location on the A20 in Sidcup in South East London, which will be opening in time for the 2023–24 season. So yeah, this looks like a fantastic challenge. Nice colours(I got a soft spot for yellow kits), nice badge, a London-based team so hopefully some nice newgens with lots of different nationalities. Let's go! Edited March 7, 2023 by Winski 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WhiteCat33 Posted March 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2023 FC Elazig Spor Hamburg Season 10 2032-33 Oberliga Hamburg (Tier 5) Season 1 | Season 2 | Season 3 | Season 4 | Season 5 | Season 6 | Season 7 |Season 8 | Season 9 | Season 10 | Statistics: Intro & 2030 (S8) | 2029 (S7) & 2028 (S6) | Master Sheet | Percentile Rankings (S9) | 2056 POR & BEL | Competitions League: 5 of 20 [Preview – 14/20 (150-1)] What a season! We have fully established ourselves as a top side, in true title contention. The story of the season was the birth of an actually competent young defense. We started the season with a fresh GK & both new CBs under 18. Then over the winter break we moved on our legacy LB as he was degrading too significantly, and it was impacting his on-pitch performances. With 4 of 5 new starters after the break we almost went undefeated just losing our final game of the season going 12-3-1. Even more encouraging is if you look at all our losses for the season only that final game did we lose by more than 1 goal. No blowouts in such an offensive league is amazing. Spoiler Cup: 8th-Final Round We got the unfortunate draw of the 3-Time defending champions Wandsbek early, who are the 2nd best team in the cup and got dumped out. Luck just hasn't been with us for the cup since our surprise final appearance. Squad: The squad spine is improving with our GK & CDs developing quite nicely. The weak-link is still our DMs who are both underwhelming. CA & Overview: Efekan Sengul is developing spectacularly having picked up ~10 CA in the past season alone. Mehmet Can has slowed down his development, though I should be able to continue to goose his mentals (specifically final third) to make him not just our captain (with 16 Leadership) but also the most intelligent player on the pitch. One big negative was he got the dreaded 'can't handle the pressure' inbox message. Still did okay for the season, but hopefully we can counter this. Third we have Dominik Erhorn who has for all intents and purposes peaked, but he's a very capable RB for us (and can play well on the left side as well). I use him as our Penalty taker and he was 5/7 this season with 1 of the misses he scored the rebound. You'll notice there's a surprise 15-Year-Old GK up here, I'll get to him in the Youth Intake. Player Screenshots: Spoiler Data Hub: Here the fact we 'only' overperformed our offense by +4 Goals is disappointing with how poor some of the defenses are in this league. I attribute this to some major fatigue slumps, which resulted in our 4 0-1 losses in the later half of the opening half of the season. However, this is countered with us being one of only 3 clubs over-performing on xGA, which is fantastic especially with so many young defenders. Spoiler Statistics Excel: Been a lot of changes here so looking forward to another episode of Statistics-Manager! Best XI Showing both our formations here. When we play the top-sides I pull back the CAM into CM and play more cautiously. It seems to have worked well with us not being countered and beaten by their strong strikers. It's very obvious what our offensive strength is. Feed the ball to Sengul, who beats his man on the left flank and then slots it into the box for Mehmet Can to finish. Spoiler Transfers: Spoiler Youth Academy Youth Intake Preview: I was scared when I saw this terrible intake Youth Intake: Resulted in still an okay intake, with a surprisingly strong GK Spoiler YI Player Highlights: Spoiler GK: Did not expect another GK. My current GK is doing great though, so this guy will go out on loan as soon as I’m able to see how he develops. DC: Another depth in CB is welcome Left Winger: I really like this fully adaptable LW, his 10 tackling with some dribbling and first touch with speed fits our tactic using WB(S) roles. Also with the retirement of my OG LB I haven’t settled on a starter for that position as both have just been adequate. AMR: We are so light on AMRs this is actually a good pickup with personality and some speed. AMC: A slow playmaker, not sure how he’ll fit us Academy Data: HOYD: I don't think I've ever seen a HOYD improve his Judging Player Ability this quickily. When I hired Memaj he had 9, and at the close of his fourth season with us he's increased it to 13! Still very poor Judging Player Potential and Reputation, but for a 5th tier side he's about perfect. Spoiler Head Coach No Updates Club Same story of dire finances Spoiler Manager Thoughts Fantastic season with us finally establishing a starting XI who are competitive with the top teams in the league. We are still short 2 great DMs to really put forward that almost perfect performance that is required to get ourselves the title. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WhiteCat33 Posted March 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) FC Elazig Spor Hamburg Statistics-Manager: Table Rebuild Season 1 | Season 2 | Season 3 | Season 4 | Season 5 | Season 6 | Season 7 |Season 8 | Season 9 | Season 10 | Statistics: Intro & 2030 (S8) | 2029 (S7) & 2028 (S6) | Master Sheet | Percentile Rankings (S9) | 2056 POR & BEL | Rebuild? A big 'motivation' behind building this tool is how rusty I am at Excel, so it was inevitable that my initial Output spreadsheets were getting pretty garbled and messy. Thus, instead of fixing a bad design I used it to build a fresh sheet that will handle all the Averaging statistics using Averageifs() to handle the 10 different conditional populations I've isolated as relevant. Output 2.0 This sheet has two purposes: 1) Calculate AverageIfs() for the Whole dataset & 9 restricted conditions. 2) Build by-position summary tables of varying lengths for different dynamic tables in the rest of the worksheet. These are A) Full-Sized, B) Medium-Sized (18-22 Vars) & C) Small-Sized (TBD but ~7-10). The Full-Sized is used for Percentage Rank() and to build the very large "DivisionPlayerStats" table. The Medium-Sized is what is pulled up to the Master Sheet when the position is selected & is used to condition which PercentRanks() are then displayed as well on the front sheet. Spoiler Here is an example of Table 9, which has all but the Club restriction to the dataset. All of the other tables are identical to this with just changing which of the restrictions are activated and applied The formula in every cell is identical just pointing to different cells for input information This takes ~200 Rows, and then we get to the Full Position You'll notice some Ref errors here. SeriesVar isn't used right now so I haven't fixed it, and I purposefully want the first AvRating to be an error and for the lookups to go later to the orange column. I could delete this old structured data, but it doesn't hurt just leaving it there. After another ~100 rows for each individual position I have started laying out what to put together for Archetypical Smal-Tables to highlight specific attributes of players. This I'll probably use what other people are actually utilizing for Moneyball to build up. Next is the important Medium-Sized Tables, which are what come to the first page. These all are restricted down to a max 22 variables so that the data isn't just too overwhelming. Ideally I'd want 18, but its hard to pair-down too many more variables This is what I rebuilt this weekend, but its not something 'exciting' to show screenshots of. What it does do is provide me confidence that my averaging statistics are not full of errors and is robust to handle all the kinds of databases I want to throw at it. Master Selections I'm slowly progressing into turning the tool fully dynamic. Vertical Player Databases The first grouping I've added is the ability to import players from the Big 5 Nations (England, France, Germany, Italy & Spain) Tiers 1 - 3. This was the obvious first choice as almost all of the T1&2 of these are active in my game, and I'll be adding T3 when I get promoted to T4 in Germany. Spoiler I have successfully imported a Simulated 2022 season with all these clubs as well as my current game's 2032 season! I can showcase an example of this if there is interest, but since this is a YA Challenge I've kept with my Elazig Spor season 2032-33 Statistics as the displayed data. And due to how many T5 leagues there are, I still have to use a horizontal database to create robust statistics. Average Rating & Minutes Played Both of these will change the level at which players are selected for the summary statistics. I haven't switched them to the Purple lists, but they are ready for it. As the Starting XI is beginning to get settled for my team, I am more interested in seeing how well my substitutes are doing so I wanted these players included in the data to see how they are doing. However, I don't want them utilized for the 'top-player' averaging so even though players with 1000 Minutes have been added, we can see the averages with only the important players (2000 Min+). Same for the Avg Rating (but that was already being done). Formation This doesn't do anything yet, but could be something later.... Division Top 3 Here you can select from the drop down the top 3 finishing clubs so that their players can be highlighted below. Also, your Selected club will be highlighted in the same table. The color is what you see to the left of the name. Summary Statistics I've cleaned up and re-formatted the Summary Statistics Screen. This is dynamic to the selected postion above and I've highlighted the 3 levels of specificity: Tier, League & Club. The Black bar at the bottom is the Column variable to drive the Vlookup(). Really this is more or less the same as before All Players in Division at Position This is where things get interesting. I combined the Raw-Statistic Vlookup() with the same lookup for the PercentRank() calculations for each player in the League at this position. This is on the exact same variables as the Summary Statistics (In the same order), but obviously will take up much more room due to the doubling per-variable. I've used the same conditional formatting to color-code both low performing & high performing statistics. Then the Top 3 teams & Selected Team are highlighted in individual colors to pull players interest out of the pack. Now hiding cells, we can look at compare my starting Striker vs my under-study 2nd striker who got just enough minutes to be added to the database: Both of my strikers are very slow (5 & 7 avg for speed attributes) and play as DLF so its no surprise they are bottom for dribbling. One worry though is again how low the Pas % is for both strikers, though at 80% for Mehmet Can even though its low among peers, the value itself isn't horrendous. What is really exciting to see though is how well Kivanc Cavdar has done as a shooter and Aerial attacker when he's gotten his chance to play. Top 10% for all shooting attributes, and top 20% for Atempting and Winning headers is perfect for a backup. He doesn't have the Chance Creation & Key Passes that Mehmet Can has, but that's fine - he's just a more 1-dimensional player. Players: Spoiler Central Defenders The beauty of this tool is to check on my CDs all I have to do is unhide the cells I just hid to highlight my strikers and just change this: And now I can check out how my fresh-faced CDs did statistically in their performances that resulted in us putting forward basically the best defensive record in the league this season: CD has the most players of any position (69) so I preemptively hid all players not in my Squad or Top 3 Squad so I could fit a screenshot. The data is sorted by UID, so its no surprise all my fresh youngsters are at the bottom: First, not all those players play for me at CD. Emir Kose & Ayhan Toplu are #2 FBs for the Left & Right sides respectively. Looking at minutes-played, I rotated all 3 CBs pretty well, but Baser & Turan would be the dominant pairing. However, from a statistical perspective I probably should have started Pepe over Turan more as Turan has very poor Possession Loss, Aerial Attempts K Heads & Headers won. Especially when compared to Pepe who was 96% in headers won & 91% Aeria Atempts. The story continues with Winning Possession and Interceptions with Pepe being near the top of the league in these statistics. Now If I told you 2 of these CBs are 6'5" and one is 6'0", who would you guess is the 'short' man? I would tend to lean towards the lower-performing aerial player as the short guy; would that be correct? Here are the Players: Spoiler Here I go spoiling the spoiler but no I would not be correct. Even though all there have similar jumping reach, Pepe is actually the 6'0" CB. As you'd expect with where the remaining potential is in the CBs I'll be transitioning to using Pepe & Turan as the dominant pair next year. Even with his lower current performance, Turan has the golden personality set up and is improving his ability dramatically right now so I expect him to improve statistically as his ability develops. Players in Selected Squad Now this is a huge table. It includes every /90 or % statistic I've pulled (excluding GKs) shown for each player in the squad both as the raw value & the Percentage Rank for their position. Now which position you select is important, and lots of players have multiple positions. To code this I have 7 PosVars. For now I've coded the first 2 in the table (as this is very easy with an IF() statement), so I can select which of them I'd rather see the PercentageRank() value for. You'll see I changed my CAM Baris Yesil from AMR to AMC, where he actually plays. In addition I've moved my Right wingers up to their AMR position due to using a 4-2-3-1 formation. You'll notice for some players there are the #### for %Rank. this is because they never did that action (Dribbles) so the game puts just a " - " in the average, instead of the 0 as its division by 0. Excel can't calculate that so they are left out of the PercentRank, which IMO is perfect! This table goes from Column A to Column BY, so there's a lot to digest here. Next Steps The tool is actually pretty close to being polished enough to share for those who would want to use it to evaluate Tiers 1 - 3 of the Big 5 leagues. Before I do that though, I do have a Beta save with Guiseley I plan to load up and export data for England Tiers 4 - 6. That way, this will be 'complete' for the English default leagues as I know that's where a number of people start their FM Careers. The one big caveat is that I still am using a Dirty Hard Code for cleaning Position, as even with the 'fun' of working on FM Data, cleaning a variable like position is still mind-numbing and I always seem to find other parts of the tool to work on. It currently has 197 position combinations, which should handle most 1-3 Natural position players. However, if the player has 4 - 7 Natural Positions its highly likely that they will error out. When this happens it doesn't break the sheet, they just don't get included in any summary statistics as they are all keyed by position. The more datasets I add into it, the less errors appear...

Maybe I picked the wrong Azores club I mean I'm up for a challenge but I don't have padders' levels of patience... Some of my players are decent too (though not this good), but the lack of depth was really killing me in the second half of the season. Guess the make-it-or-break-it moment will come in a few seasons' time when my current decent players retire and I'm left with the youths, hope they are good enough by then.

Popular Post WhiteCat33 Posted March 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) FC Elazig Spor Hamburg Guiseley: Vanarama National Statistics Manager: Adding ENG T1-6 Season 1 | Season 2 | Season 3 | Season 4 | Season 5 | Season 6 | Season 7 |Season 8 | Season 9 | Season 10 | Statistics: Intro & 2030 (S8) | 2029 (S7) & 2028 (S6) | Master Sheet | Percentile Rankings (S9) | 2056 POR & BEL | Table Rebuild | Guiseley 2031 This save point comes right at a super frustrating 2-1 Extra Time defeat to Barnet in the Playoffs after a very depressing end of season form where we lost 3 of our last 4 leage games. Spoiler Tactic: Here we have a 4-4-2 with two inverted wingers with a PF-AF combo. Putting this here as the performances will reflect this style of play. Spoiler Star Players: Big-Man Sebastian Golebiowski is a quality lower-league pressing forward who has literally 0 skill, but amazing physicals with solid mentals and 6'4" height. 20 goals in 32 starts in the league. Shot-Stoper Curtis England is a very good Goalie for the National League, and I'm sure was instrumental to our success with 14 shut-outs. A Welsh RB who has great mentals, with some decent pace for us. Aaron Davies - another welshman who is our AF. Kinda slow for this level, but has a decent mental set-up. Only 16 goals in 32 starts is pretty poor really for a striker. Spoiler Beta Save Stat Issues I didn't realize this, but many of the statistics were broken in the beta and not being calculated at all or correctly. It really isn't an issue, but was interesting to see. The one's I noticed were the Pressing variables were all just 0. First 8 Position Player Congratulations Harvey Vale, you are the first player to have 8 positions in his Position Variable. Of course I only have 7 variables for POS... I decided to drop his LB position: Too many Center Backs Leave it to the Vanarama National League as well as the North & South to be the first leagues to have more than 100 players in a single position in the database. To increase even just CD to 110 or 125 is a pretty major change as this 100 block is referenced a lot of places. Of course since this is a youth only save of course one of the CDs missing is one of mine. The work-around solution here is to re-export the data with a more restrictive Minutes Played filter to eliminate the rotation CBs. Probably just up to 1100 from 1000 would be enough to drop 2. I finally Added The Goalkeeper Summary Table! I will need to look more into how to display these stats and if I want to create ratio variables out of the Saves Handled (svh), Saves Tipped (svt) and Saves Paried (svp). At the top of the table you can see where my GK saved us this year with a 0.25 xGP/90 (Expected Goals Prevented) that is the best in the league by .05, and .35 higher than the abysmal league average of -0.10. I'm also missing "penalties allowed" and "goals allowed". Compared to the field players, these stats are way less polished. Sharing the Excel Spreadsheet As the spreadsheet is too large to attach here (21MB) I've uploaded it to Mediafire: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/z6k77x3z9wj9z/WhiteCatStats_R0.03 Here is what is in the folder: Obviously, the Excel File is the spreadsheet. "WhiteCatStats" is the scouting view to use so that the variables are all produced and in the right order. The others are all the different Scouting Filters you can import to get the different groupings I've been using. You can import these into the scouting through the "manage filters" dialogue. You of course can do your own filtering, these just make things easier. The one that will be the most useful is "2000Min+Big5_T1-3" as it has all of the top 3 tiers of the big 5 leagues added. Change whatever fits your game. While you will get data from unloaded leagues, I'd recommend starting with just ones you have a playable in your game. 2000 min tends to be important starters, 1500 regular starters & 1000 substitutes/rotation players. How to import your data First add a holiday-man. You will use his player-search as it will have all players available. You will need to import the "WhiteCatStats" view into his scouting. To do this first copy the "WhiteCatStats.fmf file into the "Views" folder. If the view folder doesn't exist just create it in this path setup. You then can import the view into your scout-view (I closed FM so don't have a screenshot for this but its the same idea as the filters). This works with the classic select a player and press Ctrl + A so that all the players are selected. Don't Scroll to the bottom and just shift-click. The game will skip players if you do this. Once all the players are selected press Ctrl + P to print. Select "Web Page" You can save it wherever you want. Eventually the filename will be important but right now I haven't fully built the data-strip from the naming. I've done YEAR-LEAGUE_GROUP-TIER: Now open the spreadsheet. It might take a few seconds for the calculations to go through. From excel you will be opening the printed website (.html) here are examples of the Guiseley one I have been showcasing above: When it's opened just drag the sheet into the WhiteCatStats workbook. The order doesn't matter, I tend to just put them at the back-end Next we need to clear the "Data" Sheet. Eventually this will all be automated with a sheet selector, but this isn't too hard I think ya'll can manage it. Just Ctl+A and then delete. Recalculations will happen when you do this. Might take a moment. Go to the data you just added and select the Columns STARTING WITH COLUMN C and you continue all the way to the far right which will be CB. Copy this and paste it into the A1 cell of the Data Sheet. And there you've imported your data. I'll be switching from Guiseley Back to Elzaig Spors in what follows to show the transition. Setting up stats Work your way down the Purple cells to configure it for your data. First Database Selection. Only the top 4 actually work right now. The "Nations" options are future groupings to configure Next is Division, these should automatically populate if you've selected the correct database type in the first step. Then Club: Division tables are purely cosmetic so you can change these when you're ready to look at stats This should be enough for everything to show up. The table is full of errors Sometimes I've noticed you need to force the array formulas to recalculate to realize you've put in a full new dataset. Go to "ByPositionTable" DC:3 and you will need to select the formula so that it shows all the different cell links. Then press Ctr+Shift+"Enter" to re-send this array formula. You have to do it this way rather than just enter as that will break things. My players position isn't working Here's how to hardcode the position variable. Go to "CleanData" You will see in Column B the "Position" Variable followed by Pos1-Pos7 in C - I. The ones that are missing will be obvious because all the Pos1 variables will be N/A errors. What you need to do is copy the position value for that player. Then go to "Clean Position" and go to cell H271. In this cell paste the value of the copied position (its a formula). and it should paste in like the above. Then just type in the positions in any order into Pos1-7 filling them sequentially. Enjoy breaking my spreadsheet DM/Comment with your issues as I'm sure there will be many. Edited March 8, 2023 by WhiteCat33 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo_Geo Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) After a bit of a break recently I'm back in the fold with a new save (Ballymacash was going ok in Northern Ireland but it just wasn't grabbing me, think the whole 2 league tier feels a bit same-y after a while). Given the update is now out it looks like the bug for Scottish teams might be fixed I'm going to try it again (this was my first attempt at the challenge before posting on here and it was a disaster so I have unfinished business here). East Kilbride Football Club is a semi-professional football club based in East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. They are members of the Lowland Football League, in the fifth tier of the Scottish football league system. Formed in 2010 with the intention of bringing senior football to one of Scotland's largest towns,[2] the club initially competed in amateur football before becoming one of the founder members of the Lowland League in 2013. The club became a full member of the Scottish Football Association (SFA) in 2014, entitling them to automatic entry to the Scottish Cup. In May 2023 the club beat Stranraer on penalties after a 2-2 aggregate draw in the cinch League 2 Relegation Playoff.

The club were originally founded in 1871 making them one of the earliest formed clubs in Scotland but folded during the 19th century before being resurrected in 2010. Sounds like the perfect fit for Neo Geo and the Youth Academy Challenge! The squad looks pretty decent in terms of numbers and depth and the personalities at the club are a good starting point. Facilities are as follows (using my star model): Adequate Training Facilities (2 star) Adequate Youth Facilities (2 star) Adequate Junior Coaching (3 star) Fairly Basic Youth Recruitment (2 star) I've still not got a load of free time at the moment but I wanted to commit to this save to get it going. Up the Kilby! EDIT: Just ran through the first steps and found you can’t appoint u18s staff still or do job advert for them so the bug still looks like it’s there. I’m still going to give it a go anyway, I’ll just need to loan a lot more of my youth players out. Edited March 8, 2023 by Neo_Geo 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post XaW Posted March 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2023 XaW - Lusitânia Açores - Season 2024/25 (Season 2) - Terceira Liga Squad | Transfers | Finances This has been an interesting season! It started amazing, then we hit a real snag as we won 2 of 9 matches, but in the end we finished the first stage in a very good 2nd place. The B-teams at this level are really strong, so Benfica B ran away with it early on. In the promotion playoff we did good, but finished 2nd behind Sporting CP B, so we headed into the playoff. There we beat Braga B on away goals to go into the final playoff spot against Vitória de Setúbal who had finished 16th in the tier above us. We edged them 2-1 at home and held them to a 2-2 away to clinch promotion in the hardest way possible! Quite an amazing feat by the squad, and I'm very happy with them. This season even a few of the youth players contributed a bit, but I'm still mainly relying on the original squad. They are mostly tier 2 or 3 quality, so I have no idea why they hung around in the 5th tier, but I'll take it. We are hemorrhaging money like crazy, and even a 500k investment from the board didn't make much of a dent in the red numbers. Hopefully the 2nd tier will bring in more money as I've been completely unable to get anything improved yet. Taça de Portugal: We beat Moura before we lost to Vizela in the 3rd round. B team They only played friendlies this season. U19s They finished 2nd (on results between teams!) in the Portuguese U19 Azores Division this season.

Weed07 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Crewe United - Season Seven 29/30 Premiership Pre-Season At the end of last season we had an issue with a board takeover scuppering us selling our striker for £11m, well it didn't really matter as before the friendly games started Everton came in with deal worth up to £14.5M, £10.5m guaranteed with half up front and half in 2 yearly instalments, then £4m after 20 leagues games plus 40% of any profit if sold on which was a good deal and my board accepted it, although not as good as we would have got in the previous deal which was all up front money and 50% sell on. Shortly after my keeper announced that he wouldn't be signing a new contract as he wanted to play for a bigger club so because he only had 12 months left I offered him out. in previous years Linfield had been trying to sign him for up to £450k but I decided to offer him out starting at £12M because he is an England U20 world cup winner but didn't expect an offer that high, however Luton offered £10.5M with half up front and half over 2 years plus 40% profit which my board accepted. So before we started pre-season I had sold my best two players for £21M guaranteed, not an ideal start but the money is equivalent to at least 15/20 years of early round European money and will be massive for the long term future of the club. I promoted by second best keeper who was only 1.5 star ability but we did get a decent striker though last seasons intake who while not as good as the one we sold should be good enough to step up to first choice. I decided that due to the poor rated keeper that we needed to either play attacking and hope to score more than we concede or try a high possession game to keep the ball away from teams to limit their chances. We didn't qualify for Europe last season so I set up several pre-season friendly games and played an ultra possession tactic I created and it seemed to work, we dominated the games winning them all, we didn't score many but defensively were very good. Before selling our best players the season preview predicted us to finish 6th with odds of 100/1, that went down to 10th and 200/1 and then down again to 450/1 still predicted 10th as we sold each player. Season Summary I started the season off with the tactics used in the friendly games but soon found that against better teams we weren't creating enough as we drew, lost and won our opening 3 games, I wasn't really happy with the performances even in the win so I decided to change to a more attacking 4-2-3-1 high tempo possession style to see if attack would be the best form of defence to keep the ball away from our rubbish keeper and it seemed to work as we won the next 2 games but we gave away a lot of chances so I changed formation to a 4-3-3DM keeping the same instructions and we looked better that way and won 7 league games in a row. Our form continued with mostly wins into mid December, we had lost and drew some games but we were in the top 3 keeping pace with the league leaders and the striker we promoted was scoring goals, he wasn't getting the average ratings as good as the one we sold but he was consistently scoring goals as good as or even better than the other one. At the point the winter update dropped and we had a mini blip in our form dropping points in our next 3 games, there seemed to be some big chances in the match engine but I noticed a lot more goals coming from players running from deep and through balls and also my striker seemed to be isolated more so I went back to the 4-2-3-1 formation to get an attacking midfielder closer to my striker and someone capable of making the runs into box that seem to be getting goals. After that small change we continued the season in relatively good form but we weren't as good after the New Year and dropped off the pace, a couple of seasons prior we went from 1st at the New Year to 4th 10 points behind top, this time we were 2nd on goal difference at the New Year and dropped down to 3rd, 12 points behind top. Finishing 3rd is our best season yet and we qualified for the European playoffs which unlike last season we went on to win so we are back in Europe next year. Last season we had a cup final defeat 3 days before the first playoff game and our players were tired but we didn't have that problem this season so with a rested team we won both playoff games comfortably. In the cups we didn't do too bad but it was the first season in 3 where we didn't win any of them. In the Mid Ulster cup which we won the last two seasons we got knocked out in the quarter finals with a poor home defeat to Dungannon, in the Bet McLean cup we got to the semi finals where we were outclassed by Linfield and then in the Northern Irish cup we were robbed in the semi finals, I say robbed because we dominated and drew 2-2 with the game going to pens, at this point I'm not sure if it was a bug but having selected my pen takers the shootout started with the player I selected to go 4th, we then missed our 2nd pen by the person picked to go 5th and lost 5-3, for whatever reason my best players I picked in the top 3 didn't take any pens, could be a bug or maybe I messed up the selection but either way we got knocked out. Overall a good season, our best league finish and back in Europe, a cup win would have been nice but I'm happy with how it went. Also surprisingly we didn't miss our star players that we sold, our back up keeper wasn't great but the defence in front of him was and tactically we dominated most games so the keeper didn't have a lot to do which was good because more times than not when teams had shots on target he didn't save many while the striker that stepped up ended the season with an average rating much lower than the one we sold and didn't win as many man of the matches, however he scored 30 goals in 33 games with 26 in 29 league games which is more than the other striker managed to get in any of his seasons with the club so stats wise and performance wise he may not be as good but he might be a better goal scorer or maybe I've created a better tactic this year helping my striker score more as that has been an issue in past seasons. Here's the tactic we ended up playing for most of the season first as a 4-3-3DM and then as a 4-2-3-1, there's no individual instructions: Spoiler The league table: Spoiler Our youth preview was good, another one without any defensive midfielders though, its not as bad now we have changed our formation: Spoiler Our actual intake is probably the best we've had at the club, we had one stand out player and a few promising players Spoiler The best player who although right wing is a position we have problems with, he looks amazing and will probably be another one that gets sold to a big club sooner rather than later as I doubt we will keep him for long: We got a decent right back which means I can finally get rid of the one that started at the club who was our current back up and this one can be the new back up: We got a new first choice keeper, he isn't anywhere near as good as the one we sold but he is better than the one we have had to play this season: I like this wingers speed so I'm hoping he can improve his other stats and he could be a good squad player next season: With getting money from selling players I have asked whenever I could to upgrade facilities and each time they have agreed. We have had the youth recruitment upgraded to the max it can be so we now have the best Junior Coaching and Youth Recruitment, our youth facilities and training facilities have been upgraded a couple of times and are currently in the process of their next upgrades, we have spent nearly £4M since getting the money on upgrades, it wont be long before we can produce and develop the best players Northern Ireland can produce. The board also agreed for us to go professional which started at the end of May just before we played our European playoff games, with being able to train full time and with better training facilities I'm excited to see how much my players can improve. Club Profile Facilities: Spoiler Our full line up is now all youth product players, we have a couple of OG players in the reserves out of contract, they have good personalities so I don't mind them staying if they don't cause problems but they no longer play. The screen shot shows 4-3-3 but the DM actually plays AM: Spoiler The striker we sold to Everton appeared in the NxGN top 50 wonderkids at number 37 so while he isn't our player hes the first produced by the club to make the list: Spoiler Supporters Profile: Spoiler My manager: Spoiler Competitions: Spoiler At the end of season awards my centre back from the first intake who is also club captain got into the team of the year along with my deep laying playmaker, my centre back also won both the young player awards and came 3rd in the overall best player award. My striker also came 3rd in the young player of the year: Spoiler Transfers, no one in but several leaving and big money coming in: Spoiler Some spreadsheet data: Spoiler Club Info: Season info: Manager info: Next season I'll again be happy with top half and qualify for Europe, however we should be able to start pushing those at the top for the title now we are professional as full time training will help players improve and it might also allow us to keep pace with the top as the last couple of times we have been at the top we have dropped away in the second half of the season as we couldn't compete with the full time clubs. Ideally the aim should be 2nd place or win the NI cup to avoid the European playoffs, with some luck and not selling more of our better players we might cut the gap to top next season. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JAwtunes Posted March 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2023 I think I've passed the point of return on my save. I have been playing since early August, and given my propensity to quit saves, this has become my longest ever in terms of real world time and in-game. So its decided, I am going to channel my inner Padders and play until I complete the challenge or die trying. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DazRTaylor Posted March 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) End of Season Review Season 2026/27 Macclesfield Season Summary We finished clear of relegation by some distance and were not too bad in one of the cups. Overall, I am disapointed with the season. Season Details League Table - We were in the top five for the first few months of the season until December when our form fell off a cliff. League Fixtures 1 & 2 - From mid December onwards, our form collapsed and we dropped like a stone. F. A. Cup - A poor performance away to Lowestoft from the division below saw the club eliminated in the third qualifying round for the second successive season. F. A. Trophy - A second half collapse away to Farnborough Town, who play at the same level as us, saw the club crash out at the fourth round stage, which was very disappointing after two excellent wins in the previous rounds. Friendlies - It was another decidedly mixed bag of results during pre season. Squad - We are getting some decent youngsters through so we do still lack depth. Squad Dynamics - Let's just say this could be a lot better. Transfers In - None. Transfers Out - I allowed two youngsters to depart on loan to try and get some first team football. Youth Candidates - Welsh central midfielder Sean Bell YP27A1 is the brightest prospect out of a good group of players. Finances - We made another profit and our bank balance remains healthy. Key Players Rio Dasilva - The right back's form has started to dip and he took a step back this year. James Berry - The winger had another solid season though it is worrying I am getting notices that he is already on the decline as a footballer. Zion Dixon - Our main striker continues to bang the goals in though he also continues to be very inconsistent. Harry Freedman - Highly versatile as he is comfortable in any of the attacking midfielder roles as well as up front, he played well enough to be a first team regular. Alex Curran - Like Harry Freedman, he is also comfortable anywhere in attacking midfield or up front, he was not as good as Freedman this season. Next Season The same again would be just fine.

Popular Post Riebow Posted March 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) Arras FA Season Review (30/31): Les Boyaux Rouges League: A nail biting season! Early on Rodez seemed to run away with the title, only to partially collapse at the end. We were at the top of the table with a 3 points lead with one game to go. A tie would be enough, but alas the lads decided to take an early holiday and we lost that game 2 - 0 agains Orléans. Rodez won their game, which means they won the title. Second place still secured Promotion to League 2 and professional football for the first time in Arras' history. Cup: We made it to the 9th round this time, but Troyes was too strong. Intake: I don't know what it is with my youth academy, but it's churning out promising goal keepers. We sold a talented goal keeper, and our number one goal keeper will most probably leave us at the end of next season as well. One of these two will need to step up rather quickly. Rafael Avila: Has good size for a goal keeper, might this be my 1-choice GK in 2032? Spoiler N. Segor-Laurence: Or will this be my new GK? Time will tell Spoiler Eddy Elissalde: Highest rated field player from this intake. Spoiler Transfers: 8 Seasons in and this was my first outgoing transfer :-D. He was currently blocked behind Muharrem Keles, so I decided to sell him for the percentage of next sale. He decided to go Nimes. Good luck to you! This one really hurt. He was our top scorer ever since he entered the team and our best player. After we gained promotion, he wanted to leave and refused to sign a new contract. With only 1 year remaining on his contract, I've decided to sell him with the hope that his percentage of next sale might be worth something. To be honest he's irreplaceable ... Next Season: The board finally wisened up and is making plans to move the team back to Arras! We're now a professional team and we will get some nice money from TV Revenue which will help with developing our team. In terms of on the field performances, I'm not very hopeful. With the loss of Adrien Celerier, not relegating would be a miracle. My hope is not getting sacked this season.

russ the womble Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) SV Austria Salzburg 2042/43 So - this is what happens when you sell one too many players without backup waiting in the wings! The Table We were rock bottom going into the relegation group for the last ten games: And that's where we stayed! Although it did go down to the last day we only managed a draw against Hartberg and so will ply our trade in Bundesliga 2. next season. The Team Spoiler Pretty weak across the defence but good up front - unfortunately I may lose the strikers over the season break The Talent Spoiler With our youth set up we had another 5 star intake. Current first team players of note: Degeling is off to Inter as a relegation clause was activated, sold for just under, plus 50% sell on.. New intake: Being a division lower hopefully gives me a chance to introduce a few more The Stats Spoiler Pretty bad in defence Deserved to finish last! The Bank Spoiler Healthy bank balance despite the investment in facilities, soon to be boosted further with the sale of Degeling. There are also a bunch of monthly installments that keep topping it up. The Fans Spoiler After relegation, board only want mid-table consolidation, which is nice Will obviously be trying to get back up on the first attempt. Facilities had a boost and for the 2nd division in the Austrian Bundesliga I doubt they'll go higher Not a great way to continue this challenge after a bit of a break but never mind. Edit: A few more upgrades on the way for next season Now I just need better coaches! Edited March 8, 2023 by russ the womble 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Makoto Nakamura Posted March 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) Amazonas Futebol Clube, commonly referred to as Amazonas, is a Brazilian professional club based in Manaus, Amazonas founded on 23 May 2019. It competes in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C, the third tier of Brazilian football, as well as in the Campeonato Amazonense, the top flight of the Amazonas state football league. Founded on 23 May 2019 by a group of businessmen, Amazonas FC played their first professional tournament, the Campeonato Amazonense Second Division, nearly six months later. They won the tournament after defeating São Raimundo in the final. In their first Campeonato Amazonense, Amazonas FC were knocked out in the first phase. In 2021, after Manaus FC reached the finals, the club qualified to the 2022 Série D for the first time in their history, after being the best-placed team in the first phase. On 28 August 2022, Amazonas achieved a first-ever promotion to the Série C, after defeating Portuguesa-RJ in the 2022 Série D quarterfinals. I'm immediately worried by how old we are as a team. The previous manager also made one signing that I couldn't cancel. Edited March 8, 2023 by Makoto Nakamura 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post libbyshuss Posted March 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2023 so after a couple of false starts I'm back in for good! This time somewhere I've never been before but with 4 tiers really appeals:- Sweden! The fourth tier has 6 regional divisions so there was lots of choice of promoted sides. I plumped for Eskiltuna, partly because the name, partly because the badge looked cool They're the second club in Eskiltuna and groundshare with their main rivals. it's a nice ground too, and was one of the venues for the 1958 world cup! The look pretty well equipped to stay up, although the squad is a threadbare 14 players. Makes picking a side easy i guess facilities are pretty meagre but finances aren't that bad, so with any luck I should be able to get a couple of early upgrades in Let's go! 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post XaW Posted March 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2023 XaW - Lusitânia Açores - Season 2025/26 (Season 3) - Liga Portugal 2 SABSEG Squad | Transfers | Finances Well, we did much MUCH better than I had expected before the season, especially considering the team is still mostly based on the original squad. I think we over-performed this season, and I very much doubt we can do the same next season. The issue currently is that we are losing so much money, and thus I can't get any upgrades done for the club. And the intakes keep getting progressively worse now as well. The squad is quite good, with some quality players, the issue is that the dropoff when I play the replacements are so big that we lose just about every match I had to rotate, and we some times lose big as well. I think we just have to go again and hope for some way to get in some money, and take it from there! Taça de Portugal: We beat Fut. Benfica, Desportivo das Aves, and Académico de Viseu before we lost to Vizela in the 5th round.Allianz Cup: We beat Penafiel and Santa Clara to reach the group stage. There we beat Leixões and lost to Braga and thus finished 2nd and got knocked out. B team They only played friendlies this season. U19s They finished 2nd (on results between teams!) in the Portuguese U19 Azores Division this season again.

Brentmeister Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Hi everyone, I have some time off work at last and I'm determined to give this another go. I've tried numerous times already this version but can't seem to get a save to stick so I've barely posted. I've always fancied giving Denmark a go as I have friends there, nobody has completed it yet and I believe it'll be possible. Does anyone know of any issues in Denmark since the update? I remember reading there may have been a few when the game first came out. Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sn00gle Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) Kotwica Kołobrzeg - 2034/35 Squad - League - Finances - Transfers At this point Legia is our country Manchaster City, Ekstraklasa is 6th in league rank and we are having 3 teams in Champions League. Every season Legia is going straight to group stage cashing money. In 3rd round of Polish Cup we meet Legia and of course we lost ( I think we have like 10 match lose cold streak with them). Anyway after break we secure 6th place (as Legia won as well Cup) so we will go into ECL. Ostrowski 09a is our first NT player with 3 call's in this season. Żubrowski 02a at age 26 as well gets 1 cap. In same time Piotr goes as NXGN of 2035 winner and Rymar 10b as our biggest winner of season as well reaching 41-50 in NXGN. Ostrowski doesn't want to continue career in our club so will leave at the end of contract so I probably will have to sell him unfortunately. In next season our defence will be much better as Finish star Helander 10a and always injures Skiba 07d will back to the club so wish for much better place in league. In this year we got finally 2 DL and DR as well potential striker from Sweeden join's.

reggaeboy81 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 End of season 2 What an awful second half to the season. half way through we were in third place, then we constantly dropped off the pace in the second half of the season! we finished in 17th same as season one but we did manage an extra 6 points on the previous season. hopefully more progression is made next season. cant upgrade training or facilities as the club is in the red, so the struggle continues... 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P O\'D Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Lokeren Tense 36-37 Europe: Another amzing run this time in the Europa, brought to and end by a team we should have done better against. 9-5 vs Sevilla being the highlight. Can't help but feel we could have had our 2nd European trophy given no big guns made the business end of this one. Spoiler Belgium: We were too far off to make a real challenge and 6th was the best I felt we could do so I played safe and took the easy route in 7th. Back in the conference league but necessary as the chance of missing out on top 4 was too high this term. Belgian Cup: A deep run all the way to the final and a 1-0 heartbreak. At least we showed up this campaign. Can't help but feel with Brugge having a poor season by their standards this was our big chance and we blew it. Spoiler The Squads: Spoiler Stats: Spoiler Goals Assists Apps Rating Youth: Looks like a good crop and both De Meyer and Simeus look like they could already play as rotation players. Hopeful. Spoiler Youth Picks: Spoiler Other Stuff: Only notable upgrade was coaches allowed... Spoiler The Club: What finance bug? Grinding the Conference League is a great way for co-ef point lol. Almost in the top 20. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo_Geo Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 So I’m into february in my first season in Scotland and unless my board are very tight with money or the fact my u18s have only had one fixture all season but the delegation of hiring staff hasn’t changed a thing. On the u18s staff screen it says 0/0 coaches, 0/0 recruitment and 0/0 medical. Im persevering with the save because I’m enjoying it so far and I do want to see if it sorts itself out at some point in the save. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winski Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Ah, that's a shame I don't know if I'll continue my save in England with Cray Wanderers. I just finished my first season and although the results where quite good, I didn't enjoy it. So I'll wait with my season update, and give it a little pause. Maybe I'll come back to the save soon, but I will also checking other options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
