deez0r Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) The Save Inspired by those before me who have done youth only stories such as @abulezz, @Jimbokav1971 and enjoying the more analytical side of things done by players such as @_Ben_ I am back with another youth only save! This wont necessarily be a one club save but at each club I go to it will be youth only with no players signed! The Club I would love to claim there was some reason for choosing the club but it was simply the very first team I picked on the random selector in game which ended up being FC Den Bosch who are currently in the 2nd division of the Dutch league system and predicted to finished 11th out of 20 teams! They do have a quite young team which is good with only 2 players over the age of 30 in the team! The Facilities Facilities are pretty much smack bang in the average section of the game with room to improve! Finances Not too bad here! Hope you all enjoy!

deez0r Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share Posted January 3, 2023 2022-23 Mid Season Review Results It has been a great season thus far with a lot of goals scored. Unfortunately our main man Moller is a loan player and our only real out and out striker so we may need to replace him with our new intake all being well. League Table Comfortably top currently and we should push on for promotion this season which should be good for finances so we can get more improvements but I dont think we have the squad to survive! Dutch Cup We beat Go Ahead Eagles in the first round and draw another Eredivise club at home in Utrecht Player Review - Danny Verbeek One of our elder statesmen in the squad but he hasnt half been important! 11 goals and 5 assists from out on the right! Young Player Review - Asier Cordoba The young Spaniard has been our assist king this season with 9 assists and 3 goals in only 14 games! Youth Intake Preview Strikers are a must here for us so nice to see us potentially get them. After that it is pretty much getting some depth to the squad in all positions. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deez0r Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share Posted January 3, 2023 Youth Intake 2023 Overview 8 players have been signed here. Nice to see the 2 big prospects are strikers and we have managed to get some backup for other areas. The CA is very low currently so need to work on getting those improvements in so that these players can be brought into the first team a bit quicker. Most of these I will call up now as we need some depth to the squad and will try and give them a few games here and there. The Players Aurelio Schepens (YP23A) Jeroen Pijpers (YP23B) Daryl Akin (YP23C) Steven Kuipers (YP23D) Jorg Derwort (YP23E) Anton Jacobs (YP23F) Charles Frimpong (YP23G) Jarne Vervaecke (YP23H) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deez0r Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share Posted January 3, 2023 End Of Season Results We had built up a lead which allowed us to lose a few and give some time to the younger players near the end of the season with Pijpers getting his first for the club and in the process becoming the youngest ever scorer. League Table Comfortable in the end but next season will be tough! Dutch Cup We did well beating one Eredivise club and took another to extra time but lost out. Player Of The Season Our main man for scoring has unfortunately returned to his parent club in Arsenal. He got 27 goals in 35 games for us and was vital in our league winning campaign. Young Player Of The Season Our very own Cesc Fabregas with 14 assists and 5 goals this season. Improvement We also managed to get out youth facilities increased and these will be starting early in the new season! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deez0r Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) Mid-Season Review 2023-34 Results Its been tough as was expected but we have stayed competitive which is all I could ask for. We have picked up wins against those around us which is vital and also got a nice unexpected draw at home to PSV! League Table We sit in 11th 4pts clear of the relegation playoff and 7 clear of the relegation spots. I would take this all day long! Dutch Cup We scraped through against a team a division below us before being blown away by Ajax! Player Review - Joey Konings With Moller now gone Konings has now stepped up from AMC to ST and has done very well for us with 10 goals in 13 games! Young Player Review - Aurelio Schepens (YP23A) Now our backup striker Schepens (YP23A) has played 9 (1) games scoring an impressive 5 goals!

deez0r Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) End Of Season 2023-24 Results Similar to the first half of the season we were able to pick up enough wins to keep us comfortable. A really solid first season in the Eredivise! League Table We finished 12th in the end and were 10pts clear of the relegation playoff and 13 clear of relegation spots! Dutch Cup A 2nd round exit to the mighty Ajax! Player Of The Season - Joey Konings Our main scoring threat this season. Ended up with 19 goals and 4 assists in 29 (4) appearances. Young Player Of The Season - Ryan Leijten A great first season in the Eredivise for the young Dutch winger. 8 goals and 5 assists is a great return for a struggling team! Youth Progression Improvements 3000 seat expansion is great to see! Again all of these improvements which we got at the end of the season are vital for this kind of save!

deez0r Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) Mid-Season Review 2024-25 Results Well it seems that we dont believe in draws! We havent had a single one all season! More wins is nice to see though and we have been able to give a lot of games to our youth graduates! League Table How tight is this league? 5pts separates Willem II who sit in the relegation playoff spot in 16th and NAC Breda who sit in 6th! Our goal again is to avoid relegation! Dutch Cup For the first time we make it past the 2nd round. 2 kind draws enabled me to play a lot of youngsters. We have an Eredivise side next but we have already beat them away from home this season so a good chance of making it further. Player Review - Hanan Binyamin (YP24A) Those mental stats for a 16 year old are fantastic and whilst he technically isnt the greatest I have already made him a regular starter in our first team. He has played 14 (5) times this season getting a goal and an assist also. Transfers 2 first teamers left in the summer. Verbeek was the star in our promotion year but was 34 now and rapidly declining and with multiple youngsters coming in in his position it made sense. van Bakel was one we could have kept around as he was a good backup but 170k is good money. 4 of our youngsters also went out on loan for some first team experience.

deez0r Posted January 6, 2023 Author Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) End Of Season Review 2024-25 Results 2nd half of the season was more of a struggle. We didnt win any of our last 7 games and just 1 of our last 10 games. Luckily enough we were far enough ahead to truly be brought into a relegation scrap! League Table A 13th place finish I will take all day long at this point. Development and survival is what we are after for a few seasons! Dutch Cup A great run this season as we got into the semi final. Unfortunately Ajax are on a different level to us and thumped us 5-1 in the semi final! Player Of The Season - Dino Halilovic We play with DM's and whilst not scoring or assisting much this season (1 goal and 3 assists) he was vital in how we play breaking up a lot of attacks and starting ours. He had our highest average rating in 7.04 and was the only one above 7! Young Player Of The Season - Noah Coenen (YP24B) Developing really nicely. We were able to get him a lot of game time this season 17 (9) appearances scoring 6 goals and getting 2 assists! Youth Progression Other News A small but very costly increase to our stadium size!

deez0r Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) Mid-Season Review 2025-26 Results Very up and down again and without a win in the last 6 Eredivise games. We are very much in transition mode currently with only 10 non youth graduates in the first team squad. Trying to give game time to those who are not necessarily ready for Eredivise football is a fine balance! League Table We are only a point clear of the relegation playoff and 4 clear of relegation spots. Big 2nd half of the season coming up! Dutch Cup This has been a very nice break from the league with 18 goals scored in only 2 games. A lot of youth players given game time in both of these and will also get game time in the game against Waalwijk Player Review - Gila Raaymakers (YP25F) One of the positives in the first half of the season. Hes a backup DM currently but in the 7 (1) appearances he has made he has scored 2 and assisted 3 with an impressive rating of 7.21! Transfers 2 youth players went out on loan for more game time whilst 2 former first teamers left! Training Facility Improvement Another improvement here!

League Table We finish 1 place outside the relegation playoffs. Our win over Emmen meant we were safe.......just. Dutch Cup Again we had an amazing run in the Dutch Cup but we didnt have the fairy tale ending as Ajax beat us 3-1 in the final Player Of The Season - Noah Coenen (YP24B) Fast becoming one of the first names on the teamsheet.

We have struggled somewhat as the year as went on but are much more competitive against the teams higher up! League Table We sit 6th currently which is an amazing achievement thus far. I know its probably not where we will finish but we are comfortably out of any relegation issues! Dutch Cup No dream run this year as De Graafschap knock out our backup young players in the 2nd round. Player Review - Benjamin Bazoer Now our starting left back. Showing great improvement and is now capped at u20 level for Holland.
