None of this counts anyway because you are not using my database and it dont go down to Level 11.

End of Season Review

Season 2022/23

Clifton All Whites

Clifton All Whites FM21 Guide - Football Manager 2021 Team Guides

Season Summary

A spectacular season in the league, which we won by a record twenty nine points, together with a good F. A. Vase run, equalled a fabulous year for the club.

Season Details

League Table - Promotion was secured in February with the league title wrapped up in March.

League Fixtures 1 & 2 - For some reason, as good as we were, Clipstone beat us home and away.

F. A. Vase - We made it through multiple rounds before a narrow home defeat by Kendal Town, from the tier above, in the third round ended our interest in the competition.

United Counties League Cup - Newport Pagnell Town, who play in the league above, beat us on penalties on their own patch in the first round, sending us crashing out.

Friendlies - It was a mixed bag of results during pre season.

Squad - Our squad is good enough for the next level.

Squad Dynamics - This is as good as it gets.

Transfers In 1 & 2 - With budgets being so tight, I maximised our loan additions and signed cheap youngsters on free transfers.

Transfers Out - Fringe players left on free transfers.

Youth Candidates - It was a poor intake with, I am reliably informed, left winger Joey Fitzgerald being the standout player.

Finances - We did lose a small amount this year so have slipped into the red.

Key Players

Matthew O'Neill - Playing on the right wing, he was one of our best players.

Maximus Rigby - The central midfielder formed an exceptional partnership with Dexter Ball.

Dexter Ball - After scoring 19 goals and being credited with 25 assists from central midfield, it is safe to say he had a good season.

Lewis Bemrose - Arguably the greatest loan signing I have ever made, with the triker scoring a mind boggling 94 goals in 47 appearances.

Kieran Knapper - Another terrific loan addition, the left winger was an assist machine.

Next Season

Another promotion must surely be on the cards.

@lionel messi I have been playing with Newcastle University and managed to promote to VNLN. Despite this, I am still an amateur club and I do not have an option to ask the board to become semi-pro. I read that there are some clubs that are set to always be amateur. Can you tell me if this is the case with my team in your database? Thanks in advance. :)

Season 3 Update: Penzance

Team seemed to struggle to stay consistent throughout the year. Seems we may have move too quickly to continue to attract players interested in joining our team who can make an impact. Had a great run in the FA Cup for a team in Tier 8. Also made the playoffs but didn't seem to stand a chance as we limped into them and were quickly beaten 0-2. 

I get to use some of the FA Cup money to go on a few courses. Let's see how season 4 goes! Hope we can find some players to take us to the next level.

Season 4 Penzance

Good season and continuing to make progress up the leagues. Went up as champions! Decent run in the cups but not as long of a run in FA Cup as last year. Hopefully we can get a little further to help out with finances. Thankfully last year's run helped pad the balance going into this season.

I was surprised they approved given the financial position but I figured I'd try as I kept getting questions in the media about other jobs and rejecting.07_20_2023-TrophyLift.thumb.png.8bf6d32fd08e9fdcc15c5602a4b4346b.png07_20_2023-PromotionRace.png.c0f340389b94428aef4f37154760287e.png

Season 5 Penzance

This season came down to the wire. We were in 1st for a number of months but lost 1st in February and didn't get it back until the final day. It took a win from fellow Cornish outfit Truro over Gosport on the penultimate game to really give us a chance. As we had superior goal difference, if we won they could only secure the title via a win. We took care of things on our side hammering AFC Totton 4-0. It was 0-0 in the Gosport game until Hendon scored in the 75 and that was it. Did not feel like promotion was in the cards this year after the February slump but some of the most enjoyable FM season I've had in awhile!

Not a bad run in the cups too but we are started to bleed money so will be an interesting offseason going up to Vanarama National South next season

Season 6 Penzance

This season was a slog. Took multiple breaks as we were dropping points in the second half. This year was a struggle from a recruitment perspective. Barely finding players of quality or if we did they wanted more than the board would allow. I'm hoping we can at least build our reputation a little for next season to make some progress in season 7. We oddly made the final in the FA Trophy after winning 3 games on penalties but ultimately lost to Barrow. Although the shoreline was 2-1, we didn't play particularly well and a lucky goal from my CB on a set indirect free kick and gave away a penalty solidified the scoreline.

Promoted as winners of the Sky Bet League 2 (85 points). Suspect we will remain in League One for at least 2 seasons before further promotion. Was not able to strengthen the team as much as I hoped this summer.

Good evening,

I am still struggling to get out of Level 8.  My summer transfers are not helping either after five seasons.   

What players do scout / offer contracts?   What is a good way to compare players?  What attributes do you value the most: Pace, Jumping Reach, …?  Do you try to get loans to match your tactics?   How do you tweak your tactics/find weaknesses and strengths?  How important are Opposition Instruction?  

I only play LL and I would appreciate some advice.  ¡Gracias, thank you!

Season 8 completed. 

Promoted as winners of the Sky Bet League 1 (107 points). I believed we would have to stay in League One for at least one extra season after the summer, but actually ended up as a dominant season with almost 30 points above not getting automatic promotion.

Got a bit tired of this save at some point, but after some reflection (and about 10 attempts to start a new save) I found out this was a result of not having clear targets. Have been looking for a really long term save, and have now landed on why Hucknall Town will be it:

1. This has from the start been a save where I don't spend a penny on transfers. This will continue. Free transfers only, but loans are acceptable as long as I only cover wage and don't pay any monthly fees.

2. I will have a go at the Danny Roberts challenge as well in this save. This means having a player score 1000 goals for me. I would like it to only be at club level, not international as I have zero interest in managing national teams. Currently have no player that suits this purpose, so this is a long term target.

3. To be at the top of the Hall of Fame. Guardiola is at the top and still at Man City, so he will probably have at least 10 more years to improve his score. Hope he doesn't keep going as long as he did in a save for me in FM21, where he retired from managing at 74 years old. After that he actually became my chief scout and surprisingly did not retire for the entire save which ended in year 2065. 94 years old!

By combining these targets/goals with the restriction of free transfers only, I think this will be hard to complete as I can't just sign the most promising wonderkid. The youth setup is something I have totally ignored so far in this save, and as a result the intakes usually gives me "E"-rated youngsters at best. My focus the next seasons will be to improve the youth situation, as I think my best shot at getting a 1000 goal player will be to have him come through the academy, rather than signing a 18 year old (at least) on free transfer.

Season 9 completed. 

First season with no trophy or new points.

Happy with third place in the Championship, but lost the playoff final 1-5 against Derby. A red card seems almost guaranteed in such a big game? We were never close.

The team heavily depended on a loan striker who single-handedly was the difference between just staying up and the unexpected promotion push. Don't think we can have him for another season, so need to improve the team in other positons to make up for whoever replaces him.

Second place in the Championship means that we got promoted to the Premier League! Very happy with that.

Quote

If you gain promotion from a lower League you still get the points for that competition. 

I guess this means we get the 132 points for getting the promotion?

Manager_JobHistory-10.thumb.png.da54552108469da84ffb03e09581055a.png

 

The squad is in serious need of more quality in almost every position to survive. My goalkeeper is probably good enough, but are looking for improvements in every other position. They all need to be free transfers as well, so this will be a busy summer.

Season 11 completed.

Won the first match in the Premier League at home against Sunderland, who also got promoted last season, but then had 7 losses in the next 8 games. Was a bit worried there, but finally got at team settled and improved the results from there. Ended in 12th place.

No new points.

Edit: Season 12 completed as well. 

After a quarter of the season I was slowly beginning to believe I could be in an unlikely title challenge - but came down to earth (and on the table). Ended the season in 8th place, and qualified for the Europa Conference League. 

 

Total points so far: = 607 points.

Season 13 completed.

It didn't take long before it became clear that the cups were our best chance this season. In the league we played inconsistently, but in the cups we always had something extra to give.

We won our very first trophy in several years (and at top level), the League Cup (114 points). After a perfectly normal 6-6 game, we finally won on penalties against Liverpool.

HucknallTownvLiverpool_Presentation.thumb.png.4890cf7027159a2d15dfe4003f687b2c.png

 

In the end, we also won the Europa Conference League after winning 1-7 in the final (130 points). Dusan Vlahovic, now 35 years old, must be attributed as the most important player. 10 starts, 4 times substituted in, and 36 (!!) goals in the tournament is completely absurd. After the victory, we have qualified for the Europe League next season.

The Premier League title! 

From 11th place in the league last year, to win our first of the really big trophies.

Got to the semi final in the Europe League, but lost to Tottenham. Lost to Chelsea in the FA-cup semi final, and lost to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup quarter final.

I think it will be hard to retain the title next season as I won the league with only 82 points, and it seems unlikely that all the big teams will have an another "blip year". As I am doing this challenge by not spending any money on transfer fees I need to be lucky on the free transfer market. Some of the players have been with me since League Two and League One, especially happy for them to be part of this title.

Total points so far: = 851 points.

+ points this season: 184 points (Premier League)

Total points: 1035 points

Total trophies: 14
