1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig

Well, that's already the end of my save at Lok Leipzig. :(

In my second season, our first in 2. Bundesliga, I just couldn't get them winning games. We started well, with some nice wins against St. Pauli(who finished 2nd and got promoted to the Bundesliga) and Hansa Rostock. But after the match against Rostock we only managed to win 2 games, and lost almost all the other matches. After our win against Karlsruhe we only managed to get just two points, and lost all the other matches. So we relegated, and the board decided to sack me after the season. They asked me what the reason for those poor results were. I said that is was due some serious injuries, but they disagreed and sacked me.

Pfff. It's not my first sack at Lok Leipzig. I really want to succeed with this club, but I can't get it working.

I don't know what my next destination will be. Maybe I'll do a Journeyman-save for a little while.

Off the back of success in Nigeria, I've come back with the hope of success in Saudi Arabia. I wanted South Korea but the relegations aren't sorted.

I've used Tenshi's DB for the save. I'm starting in the 3rd Tier with Al-Nojoom.

End of Season Review

Season 2033/34

Macclesfield

Macclesfield FC - Club profile | Transfermarkt

Season Summary

In one of my most satisfying seasons ever, we finally secured the league title and promotion to the fifth tier.  Our best ever F. A. Cup run was the icing on the cake.

Season Details

League Table - We were always at or near the top of the table and we broke free with a handful of games remaining.

League Fixtures 1 & 2 - After five straight draws, we changed our formation and it paid immediate dividends and we never looked back.

F. A. Cup - We enjoyed our best cup run to date as we made it through to the second round before narrowly losing away to League Two outfit Notts County.  The win at League One side Doncaster Rovers was the obvious highlight.

F. A. Trophy - Disappointing.  We went out at the third round stage, losing at home to St. Albans City, who play in the same tier as we do, on penalties, after a one all draw.

Friendlies - We lost three of our ten games as pre season pretty much went according to plan.

Squad - The quality is so good right now, we should be challenging again next season in the higher division.

Squad Dynamics - Exceptional, as you would expect.

Transfers In - None.

Transfers Out 1 & 2 - There were no major departures this year though plenty of players not good enough did leave as well as a plethora of youngsters out on loan.

Youth Candidates - Nigerian striker Afeez Owolabi YP34A129 is the brightest prospect out of a disappointing intake.

Finances - With no major player sale, we did lose money this season though we remain in the black.

Key Players

Damien McFadden YP28E38 - The Irishman continues to play well in central midfield.

Alistair Wolfenden YP28D37 - It was another season full of goals for the striker.

Maxime Carrere YP31B83 - The switch in formation has brought the best out of the attacking midfielder.

Billy King YP30A66 - I converted him into a natural left winger and he has made the position his own.

Jon Sneddon YP28J43 - The highly versatile defender can play anywhere across the back four and enjoyed his best season to date.

Next Season

I feel we can challenge for a promotion playoff spot.

Well final update is out.

For this challenge, they just fixed YR bug I belive.

Saw that there, wonder if it will affect current saves or if you’d need a new save for the changes to be evident.

For the benefit of those experiencing this issue right now in their save I hope it’s the former rather than the latter.

I hope just DB changes need a new game.

Just been offered an interview at Newcastle who are one of the 2 biggest teams in the world in my game.  This season I have managed 5 defeats in my 5 CL group games...  Newcastle must be getting desperate!

Whats the YR bug?  I have just read the note in the official SI post but can't remember seeing this bug in the FM23 updates in this thread.

Youth Recruitment and Junior Coaching go to a maximum of 20, which is Exceptional.  Youth Recruitment has only been able to be raised by human players to 19.  We don’t see this because we don’t have the editor on so can’t see this.  I ran a simulation for several seasons exploring this and I can confirm YR was maxed at 19 and no matter how hard you tried, it couldn’t be raised.

I believe @Jimbokav1971teied something similar.

Wow, check this. With only one game left to play, we can still qualify for the promotion play-offs. We are 2 points behind IK Franke. And what is the last game of the season? That's right: we face IK Franke at home :eek:

So if we win that match, we are qualified for the promotion play-offs! That would be terrific. But either way, this was a very good first season for us. If we don't win, I can build from this and hopefully with the youth intake somewhere in the next month, our squad is good enough to gain promotion next season. But first: let's play the match against IK Franke.

@grff Congrats, nice to see somebody do it on a different continent!

Agreed well done @grff

I have been mostly absent this year, as I lost passion when South Korea wasn't available (even though it was originally rumoured to be) and my Indonesian save crashed (backup was only a month earlier but still). But been following along and love to see another win in Africa (only the 3rd ever!). 

Is that all eligible continents done now?

Sweden - Division 1 Norra (tier 3)

2030 (season 9)

Season Summary

What a bizarre season! We started terribly, and after 8 games we were bottom of the league with low morale and no wins. We were favourites to go down so I figured this was where my Swedish adventure came to an end. But once we won......  we ended up going on a run of 10 victories in 13 games, it was nuts! 

Too little too late though so we ended up mid-table again. I'm kinda stuck at the minute with no money and my best players threatening to quit as well. ah well

30leaguetable.jpg.397d1e2e48b0b75ee44f3e20d20099ce.jpg

Cup was fun. In the second round we got IFK Gothenburg at home! They immediately offered us 50k to give up home advantage and I snapped their hands off. We got 130k from the gate receipts too, very nice!

But not enough for the board to give me any more upgrades! aaargh!

Youth

Woah, our worst preview and intake yet!

Still not great, but still better than anything we have at the minute!

 

Career

So, can I get out of the third tier of Swedish? naaaah......

I have unfinished business in Romania and the ich started again so let's try again.
Welcome to Aerostar Bacău, well, located in Bacău, 12th largest city in Romania. The club was founded in 1977 under the name of Aripile Bacău (aeronautical manufacturing company), it changed its name several times until, in the 1990s, the company finally renamed itself to Aerostar.

Season Summary

Al-Nojoom FC: 2023/24 Season Review

Our Saudi journey gets under way as we win the Second Division (third tier in KSA) losing only one game. The squad we inherited was pretty decent which makes things pretty simple.

What I did discover throughout the season was that I wasn't losing money. In fact our bank balance was going up. It turns out we have an underwriter chairman which got me excited before I realised almost every other Saudi club has an underwriter according to SI's database :D We have been able to improve the facilities/junior coaching at an accelerated speed.

The board are planning on building a new stadium as it turns out we play 240km from our home town/city.

Player stats were pleasing. We are light in a few positions so poor performers couldn't be ditched easily.

stats24.thumb.jpg.ad841a863465f3f3822539984ae080f4.jpg

Youth intake was pretty poor. We have recruited a couple of keepers and forwards.

Transfers. The 3 incoming were done before I took over.

Aims for next season

  • Look to cope with a higher standard division.
  • Improve facilities further
  • Commit key players to long term deals

Ilkeston Town - Season 8 – Vanarama National League– 7th Lost Playoff Semi-Final

Transfers -- Squad -- League

 

A very weird season for us where our success largely depended on how well our forward players played with us fairly consistently conceding en masse. The season actually started incredibly well with a 7-1 victory over one of the teams relegated from league 2 in Leyton Orient. It was a little bit of a false dawn as we went on to win only 1 of the next seven games. This was a similar trend that we did follow over the season, period of good wins before failing to win for a period of games. The second half of the season our goals had dried up somewhat, with Purple who was ultimately our top scorer this season only scoring 3 goals in his last 20 games of the season. Thankfully we ended the season strong which coincided with Leyton Orient ending the season horrendously 5 losses and a draw from their last 6 games which saw us snatch the final playoff spot on goal difference.

Our playoff campaign got off to a great start with our opponents gifting us a penalty in the 4th minute which also saw them reduced to 10 men. We scored the penalty, but the rest of the game there was not much happening so only a 1-0 win, but progression nonetheless. In the semi-final however, we were comprehensively outclassed down 1 goal in the opening minute and not looking likely to get back into it at all in a 4-0 defeat – the 100% failure rate in the playoffs from 6 attempts, though I wasn’t expecting us to get too far in this one.

Youth Intake

A solid enough intake, a few players in more needed areas that aren’t actually too far from the respective first choices in those positions.

image.png.045e073077431b9c046b7833e424322d.png

DeAndre Reid 8Reid looks to be a very good versatile defender who will next season fill in all along the back line, he is lacking in his marking and heading, but they are not really much lower than what we have as first choice. His physical attributes do make me think he will be a good option though.

Joby Signey 8  Whilst naturally a striker I don’t see his long term future up front as he is lacking a bit both physically and in terms of finishing so I am retraining him to play in attacking midfield as I think he could develop into a good player there.

Sean Stephen 8  -  A great personality on Stephen, and has the makings of a pretty decent winger as well. I’m hopeful that he will be able to develop nicely over the next few seasons as he is unlikely to play in the first team till then as we do have some depth in that area.

Overview

I was not sure what to expect from this season, but I probably wasn’t expecting to be challenging for the playoffs. I think next season I may look to remove the remaining players from the start of the save out of the team, with 2 remaining currently as first choice – goalkeeper and right back. I would be happy next season with a midtable position I think to give new players time to develop especially if I am throwing in an untested goalkeeper.

For the first time it looks like we may be going into the red which means any board requests we make are likely to be declined as we can’t really afford them.

Key Players

Timmy Browne 1Browne continued to be a very good player for us in a league higher. He did pick up a lot of yellow cards this season however which saw him miss 9 league games with our back up in central defense not being the greatest. He’s closing in on 300 league appearances for the club which is a great showing.

Alessio Raccagni 4 Like Browne, Raccagni took the step up well missing just one game in central midfield as he got 5 goals and 6 assists this season. He’s continuing to develop nicely the main worry being his fairly short contract which could force us to sell him if we’re not promoted in a few seasons.

Montel GibsonOne of the last few original players, he did end the season not as first choice, but in his games this season he performed pretty well with 12 goals and 14 assists to show for the season. He is out of contract this season and I don’t really know if it’s worth his wage demands to keep him around for another season as he is starting to decline.

2024/25 Season Review:

X1A9E1y.png

A weird season where at times we were actually midtable, but then faltered down the stretch. As stated before the players are either too old and regressing or too young and facilities aren't helping development enough. There are a few good players in prime though.

Not included in this info are three players that retired and two I released as they were older and not good enough. I'd rather give younger players playing time. At the end of the season there was a takeover, but the finances boost came from a loan so we'll be back to underwater fast. 

Youth Intake:

A good crop of talent, but none ready to play now and develop will be slow at the club.

Looks like a struggle season again. I don't see an immediate path forward, and the recent movement here on completing in new countries has peaked my interest in something else. I'm pausing this save and will come back to it later. I'll post later with the new one :)

Reviving this. Not high hopes, but may as well see it out.

Good luck with that, Hornchurch's starting squad in game is quite unbalanced and old so you're gonna really struggle without good early yout.

Cardiff Corinthians - Season 2056/57 Review (s35) - Invincible season

Main things of note:

  • We failed to win a cup for just the second time in over 20 years
  • We have suddenly been allowed to add youth academy affiliates and have been setting up affiliations with some great foreign clubs (Red Star Belgrade, Dinamo Zagreb, Cercle Brugge and Banik Ostrava
  • We have managed to improve our Youth Facilities back up to Great, from Good
  • Our two top players, Tom Broad 53c (19yr English midfielder) and Jamie McKenzie 50d (22yr Welsh forward), have developed really well but are both unwilling to sign new contracts.  They have 3yrs remaining on their current deals
  • Our Champions League group was tough and we failed to pick up a single point
  • Well went unbeaten in the league (fourth time, but first since losing Catherall ~15 years ago)

Sweden - Division 1 (north) - Tier 3

2031 (season 9)

Season Summary

giphy(8).gif.6ccb27453423587a0f74fc8e5a1bd805.gif

I guess it's mainly due to how young my team is but we just can't get any consistency! just as we start putting a good run together we finish the season with 1 win from the last 10. But there are signs... they're getting older, more experienced, and better. So....... who knows? Surely one day we'll challenge the top!

3 teams from Eskilstuna in the league this season. And we weren't the worst!

Youth Intake

Really nice surprise with not one but two oven ready first team players! sadly, one was a keeper, and I already got a good 3 star keeper. D'oh! But the middie looks

Career

I tend to have these doldrum seasons in these saves, but this one is really dragging on. I'm stuck with no money so can't get any improvements, and players are insisting that I improve the training ground as part of their contract negotiations. I'm already going to lose my best defender Alexander Brolin 24C over it. He's fed up with my lies! but honestly, when I agreed to it I figured it would be easy - our training ground is so poor a quick trip to B&Q with a £50 gift card would do it!

What a relief.  After about 18 months of not wanting to discuss a contract, our top forward in now possibly about to sign up for another 8 years!

I have had to offer just about every bonus in the game
