Livorno Season 3 Mid Season Report

Comfortably in the playoff positions but no where near 1st who are runaway leaders

Serie C/B - League Table

Lost the first game of the season but bounced back quickly to get as high as 2nd but settled to 6th by the end of the first half of the season. A change of formation to a back 5 has meant we have conceded a lot less but also scored a lot less as well. The loss of prolific striker Simone Rossetti to an ACL injury has not helped matters.

Serie C Cup.

We won the first round before losing the second round for the 3rd year in a row.

Youth Intake Preview - Preview

Described as an excellent preview as usual but in reality very poor. 6 wingers/wide midfielders predicted when we do not play with wingers seems pointless.

Douglas Athletic 2026-27 Season Preview

DouglasAthleticF.C.gif.03d7bf95698c4058095462621e018a1a.gif

So, after promotion, we have to establish ourselves in the Premier League, which is far easier said than done. The quality of player in this league is a massive jump from the Second Division, with several teams bringing in players from England and abroad, and the general standard of domestic Manx players being higher. Still, we have a job to do and have to do it well.

Transfers:

0a7c4e157166cef6318817720621cebe.png

Facilities/Coaching:

No upgrades so far. Still no decent staff available either so we're stuck with my pretty poor HOYD too.

Season Preview:

We're predicted down in 11th, which would see us just avoid relegation, but I want to do better than that. I'm hoping to survive comfortably this season, though it'll be a struggle.

I've also added a fancy new logo pack which I spent far too long making, but it adds some much-needed authenticity to the game!

Friendly Results:

68b15c262362af8f00828f4864652d5f.png

We've had a surprisingly decent pre-season, scoring some solid results against far stronger teams, as well as some morale-boosting wins against weaker clubs. This was mainly about building finances though, so I'm not worried.

Starting XI:

O'Hara

Murray - Gasson - Conteh - Toulson

Gilchrist- Wharton

Pickford - Wheeler - O'Donnell

Bolton

I think this is a pretty strong starting XI. It's very young, but that's sort of the point. I'm hoping my team can grow as the season goes on and we can start competing with the top teams more. It's going to be a tough season, but I'm wanting to make the best of it.

Don't know who made this league rules, but they were insane, for sure. 

So, we got 2 relegation spots, one goes do the lowest team in the 3 Year Average Points, and the other goes do the lowest team in the Overall Table. There is also 12 spots for continental football based in Overall Table, depending of Copa Argentina winner. But, the winner of the league is the leader of the regular phase league table with only 27 games.

We have Copa Argentina, Liga Profesional de Fútbol with 27 games, thats splits into the Argentine League Cup with 14  teams each group.

Livorno 1915 Season 3 End of Season Report and Intake Review

A promising season that ended in disappointment despite best ever finish in the league. 

Serie C/B - League Table

Good form throughout January and February put us in the fight for 2nd position but we faded badly to finish 7th, up from 8th last year but with 3 less points. Our change of tactic to 5-1-2-2 from 4-2-2-2 meant our defence was much better, conceding 51 goals down from 76 in season 2. However we also scored far less goals with 67 down from 88 goals in season 2. 

Serie C Playoff

Very disappointingly we lost to Rimini 2-3 in the first round of the playoffs. We were the better team in the match everywhere except on the scoresheet.

Best Players

Cedric Konan - Our young model citizen had very good and show remarkable improvement as he had 14 goal involvements.

Luis Henrique - Our main striker managed over 20 goals for the second year in a row despite us scoring far less goals this season.

Daniele Bartolini - Played as our long CM with aplomb until a serious injury all but ended his season. He just made it back for the playoffs were he played well again.

Youth Intake Review - Players 1 Players 2

The poorest intake yet with only 1 elite talent and 3 top talents. The elite talent is a LW when I have not been playing with a LW. The elite talent is Martino Barsottini and the best of the top talents is LB Luigi Ficagna. I now have two players called Luigi Ficagna. If my Head of Youth Development was not retiring I would have not renewed his contract.

My Profile - Mahzun Savas

I received a boost when at last the board agreed to me taking my National C coaching course which I completed by the end of the season. They refused to let me do my National B coaching course because of the financial state of the club.

Transfers - Transfer History

There were of course no transfers in but a few loans out.

BallymenaDestroyed.thumb.png.4c7a4fd1fafbb3d4f210997e9f70d2f3.png

Won the first two games of the league campaign as well and in the 3 games have scored 12 and conceded just 1. Great start, hopefully can keep this up!

Rein Meer AKA ReinBerg - Season 27 - Japan J1 League - Mid Season Review & Youth Intake Preview

League - 6th so far

We have had a relatively poor run of form to start the season before improving massively. We also had a poor run of form in the last 3 games. Consistency is a struggle for sure! We are so far off the pace already that repeating the title winning season of last year may be a hard feat at this rate.

image.thumb.png.f9752f9ec58b0eb0a1532a8373744db6.png

Super Cup

Not that its important, but we won our first ever Super Cup!

Champions League - Quarters

We managed to beat Kashima quite comfortably, but lost to Shimizu, in the quarter finalwho got some revenge for us stealing the league last season! Shimizu then lost a close final to Al-Ahli.

Youth Intake Preview

We have another poor looking intake, so the search to replace Hirotada Asato is officially on.

image.thumb.png.7f54ac0ceb8dfec2759d2e8f2035d56e.png

New Champions League Group

The way the season runs is awkward, as our Champions League Group stage (the fact we are in the competition) comes from last season (6 months ago) title win. Regardless our group has been set and it looks pretty favourable to  be honest.

The Next Kunshige Kamamoto

One of my youth players who is just getting into the first team is labelled the next Kunshige Kamamoto - who you ask??!!!!
A 60's and 70's (Yes 1960s and 1970s) legend of Yammar Diesel with 202 goals in 251 games AND 75 goals in 76 appearances for the Japanese National Team

I hope Takayuki Ohara (YP25B) can be as prolific.

Can't make those sleeves or the faded squibbles in fmkitcreator I think, so this is my best effort for the first one. Let me know if you want it. Otherwise I can change up the sleeves or something. If you want it I can post it here, and create the purple one with the same stuff.

Season 8 2031/32 - Macclesfield FC - VNL

Was going to be a difficult season after losing Jake Jones up front with no real obvious replacement, however when resigning a few of my players they started wanting 'gaining promotion by year xyz' in their contracts. Season started off slow and it took us a while to adjust to our new frontline but we did get it together somewhat and with 3 games to go we were in 6th position with another prospect of playing in the play offs again. We lost the next game then conceded an 87th minute equaliser in the following game against second place Maidstone Utd.  Going into the last game we were 9th and needed to win and results to go our way to keep our season alive. We were doing out bit up 5 - 2 away to St Albans who had nothing to play for and other results were also in our favour and then this happened:

Screenshot2024-04-05175414.thumb.png.d1f24916d0a9f0afbaf27e6ac48fbd73.png

No improvements this year and instead we have slowly accumulated a bank balance of 1.5m so hoping the board agrees to improve youth facilities next year, hopefully before Robbie Savage decides to move on.

Youth Preview
Im hoping this is just the transition year between HOYD's as this is not a great preview

Youth Intake

Not the deepest intake and quite dissapointing with overall talent. Shining light could be my Greek GK who will start for me next year from day 1.  Ive been playing Haydn Hibbs 29C for three seasons (126 games) and he is still stuck on 1.5 stars.

Screenshot2024-04-05171239.thumb.png.e2b7a53040863f25dd2d1ffbb9850771.png

Thefanis Dalamitras 32A is exactly what I needed with good technicaals, determination and personality.  Bit on the weak side but hopefully that builds as his body fills out.

Screenshot2024-04-05171248.thumb.png.4c2901cfd7fbfd2f6f974a00472e833b.png

Dave McCarthy 32B is the only other player that has potential to make the first team. No where near the talent we got in Blackett and Hay last year however so might have to develop in the u18's or on loan when hes a little older.

Livorno 1915 Season 4 Midseason Report

Best first half of the season sees us very close to top spot

Serie C/B - League Table

Had a bit of slower start to the season with my tactic changed too much. An change to the tactic has seen us climb up the table to third 1 point behind 1st place. I am hopeful that we can win the league. Striker Luis Henrique continues to be our key player with 13 goals so far in the season. Our excellent players include attacking midfielder Lorenzo Sabattini and central midfielder Daniele Bartolini.

Serie C Cup

Once again we lost in the 2nd round.

Youth Intake Preview - Preview

Terrible preview with our new Head of Youth Development, hopefully the reality is better than the preview.

Livorno 1915 Season 4 End of Season Report and Intake Review

Best ever finish in the league 

Serie C/B - League Table

The second half of the season was worse than the first half as we finished 4th in the league. It should have been 3rd but an injury to starting goalkeeper Biagini meant we had to play hopeless back up goalkeeper Albeiri who put in shocking performances in the last two games of the season which we lost.

Serie C Playoff

By finishing 4th we qualified for the second round where we meet Carpi. In a desperation move I decided to play 17 year old Victor Frascadore in goal as I thought he could not do worse than Albeiri. He did not do worse but he did no better and we lost 5-2 in a game we were better everywhere but on the scoreboard. Disappointing end but we have next to no chance of winning games without Biagini in goal.

Youth Intake Review - Players 1 Players 2

Our worst intake with no elite talents and the top talents not looking particularly good.

I am now studying for my National B licence for which a new board allowed me to study.

Rein Meer AKA ReinBerg - Season 27 - Japan J1 League - End of Season Review & Youth Intake

League - 3rd

We were just weren't as good this season. The second half of the season was definitely better than the first half, but I am not too disappointed as Champions League is the main aim at the moment.

image.thumb.png.185cb827e7438d00052f9bd529aba175.png

Champions League

Things couldn't have gone any better in the group stage. 32 goals, 0 conceded.

image.thumb.png.5b18ed7c278a7b04170dc606126bee1f.png

The Squad

We have a new starting CB in Hayato Nakatani (YP22F) who has quickly become one of our best players and one of the best players in the league, as evidence by his MVP award. Other than that we have a very similar team as the one that won the league last year.

image.thumb.png.c8ccaa5542571c1c6b8fec398c66ad26.png'

Top 3 - Youth Intake 27

Satoru Mori (YP27A)

Another CB, not that we need anymore. He could well make something of himself, decent stats all around and a good personality.

image.thumb.png.c7d63f139b9d531b3936cb46dbbbeed8.png

Taiki Date (YP27B)

Yes....the CB factory strikes again. Probably won't make the first team, but who knows. Okay stats, but needs some big improvement in his mentals if he is to ever reach his potential.

image.thumb.png.87096bb97b924b0a2939071c3014a345.png

Atushi Hosaka (YP27C)

A decent looking midfielder. His mentals are pretty strong for a 15 year old, but I am hoping his Physicals will improve quickly.

Liverno 1915 Season 5 Midseason Report

Not the first half of the season I was expecting

Serie C/B - League Table

We started the season with an excellent win on the first day of the season but then things went bad. To my surprise we lost the next 5 league games to be 2nd last on the league table. We did turn it around and ended up the first half of the season in 11th. I am hoping the 2nd half of the season will be good enough to get us into the playoffs again but bettering our 4th place from last years seems impossible.

I made the decision to get rid of a few players to clear the way for young players who are now good enough to be playing for the first team. Primarily central defender Lorenzo Campagnolo (YP1C) took his place in the defence and has been quite good. Right fullback Carlo Deodato (YP1B) would be playing regularly as well but he is behind on of our best players Alpha Camara. Camara can play CB so I might move there and play Deodato more. 

Two youngster who were at the club when I joined Cedric Konan and Guilio Falomi have developed well and are both in the first XI and among our best players.

Serie C Cup

The first round of this competition came straight after our 5 games losing streak in the league and winning it helped turn around the season. We for the first time managed to win in the 2nd round but lost in the 3rd round. 

Youth Intake Preview - Preview

A better preview than last year and hopefully we will get a better intake. If not I might try another HOYD although it is probably just the lack of facilities that are at fault. The new board will not upgrade them unfortunately.

Livorno 1915 Season 5 End of Season Report and Youth Intake Review

A big step backwards this season but I still think the future is bright.

Serie C/B

The second half of the season was really up and down until we eventually finished 11th, one spot out of the playoff spots. The last two games of the season when we were out of playoff contention and not in danger of falling in the the playout I played a team full of youth prospects and the gain a win and draw. This has shown me I need to play even more youth prospects in the side. 

Youth Intake

The youth intake was a lot better than last year with two elite talents. This included a RB who will go straight into the first team squad as back up right back.

My Profile

I managed to complete some more coaching badges and now have the Continental C licence and I am studying for the Continental B Licence.

Livorno 1915 Season 6 Midseason Report

I have my team back

Serie C/B - League Table

It has been a much better first half of season than last seasons bad performance. We have been in the playoff spots all season and currently sit in 9th. Injuries have marred the first half of the season so I hope to keep some players like attacking midfielder Roberto Staiano (YP2H) on the pitch for the second half of the season. Strikers Luigi Landi (YP2A) and Alessandro Nunziatini (YP3C) have broken into the first XI. Lorenzo Campagnolo (YP1C) is now my best CB in his second year of being a starting player at 20 years. Cedric Konan has been the best player so far this season with 5 goals and 9 assists.

Serie C Cup

We lost in the first round.

Youth Intake Preview - Preview

A very poor preview, last season the reality was better than the preview, hopefully it will be the same this year.

Douglas Athletic 2026-27 Season Review

image.thumb.png.c08166fb3e1c6eb7821da2cec9452aec.png

We won the FA Cup!! This means we'll play in the Europa Conference League next season. Of course we'll likely get smashed, but that money is going to go far.

image.thumb.png.4220f9d296403ceb3884a4ce42224cff.png

In the league we did fairly decent, but couldn't string together any good runs of form. The Premier League is a tough one for newly promoted teams, we just couldn't match the average quality of other teams, but 7th place is a respectable finish in a tight league.

Transfers:

14289eb6d0dce3d32add508e1773d7d0.png

Once again, no transfers out but close to 20 players released.

Facilities/Coaching:

image.thumb.png.5c9e0fee6251510039cf0b97afb53eb4.png

We snuck through a Junior Coaching upgrade so we're now considered good! Pretty sure that puts us as the highest rated Manx academy now. Still no luck on the Youth Recruitment side though

Youth Intake:

image.thumb.png.81d086dba6d879f1013a0cb3d92a8977.png

image.thumb.png.ae3ea208eaf369ddf94f81f1dbf953d6.png

I feel like I'm going to say this every season, but what an incredible intake! Our Junior Coaching upgrades are really paying off, with several players being instant starters, and one very special standout.

Intake Standouts:

#1 | Daniel Treleaven (CM)

image.thumb.png.9735ce6dc45763918c4231daf294037b.png

Only thing I can say is, this kid looks special. At 15 he's already one of the best players in the league and is miles above anyone we've had in terms of quality. He's excellent across the board and will absolutely run our midfield. Getting players this good this early in the save is definitely an encouraging sign!

#2 | Daniel Curley (CB)

image.thumb.png.90e4c24e5fc07ab0b35148be78ea3cbb.png

Good CBs are rare to non-existent in these leagues, so Curley is a huge get for us! He blows all of our other CBs out of the water, being technically solid and just good across the board. We really needed some strengthening at the back, and Curley will provide that easily.

#3 | David Livingstone (ST)

image.thumb.png.5d0d5ac69784d0c485f21ef21f2c4526.png

It's clear what jumps out about Livingstone, 16 finishing is insane for this league. His other stats are definitely nothing to sniff at, with his pace stats being sound enough for this league. I can smell goals on this kid if we can get him firing, which is exactly what I'll look to do.

Next Season's Thoughts:

With the massive influx of quality, we're going to have higher expectations on us for sure. The league is deceptively strong however, with teams like St. Mary's dominating the league, and the increase of English and foreign talent into the country. I'd love to aim for a European place, but anywhere in the top 4 will be a good step.

Livorno 1915 Season 6 End of Season Report and Youth Intake Review

Disappointing again, getting worse not better

Serie C/B - League Table

The second half of the season saw our form plummet such that we ended up finishing 12th missing the playoffs again. Perhaps the young players are just not as good as I thought they were. I will need to go back to the drawing board and try and work out how I can get more out of the squad. We are simply conceding too many goals. 

Youth Intake - Players 1 Players 2

A much better intake than the preview suggested with some promising players

Kavala Football Club / Αθλητικός Όμιλος Καβάλα

Season 24 - 2047/48

Schedule / Squad / Transfers / Finances / Manager

 

Season Summary: another success story unfolds in Greece. We've shattered our previous record for points, finishing atop the league standings in the regular phase. In the championship phase, we clinched victory in the first 6 matches, securing the title with 4 games to spare in the season.

In the cup, we triumphed over Panachaiki from a lower league, only to face defeat against Panathinaikos in the quarter-finals. Our quest for the Kýpello Elládos Novibet still awaits us...

Due to Greece slipping a few places in the coefficient rankings, despite finishing 2nd last season, we had to play two matches to advance to the UCL league phase. We defeated Dynamo Kiev and Nice to reach that stage, where we only suffered two losses: a disappointing defeat at home to Kobenhavn and a 3-0 loss to PSG. Finishing 18th, we qualified for the knockout round, where we overcame the German giants Bayern Munich with two 1-0 wins. However, our dream of becoming European champions came to an end after a 3-1 aggregate loss to Barcelona in the round of 16. While it wasn't our year of glory, we displayed great performances against some European powerhouses.

Standout players this season include:

  • Valon Hasani 44e: 2nd place in the Kopa Trophy, Super League Talent of the Year, Super League Best XI, Kavala's highest average rating.
  • Babis Tasiopoulos 45e: NXGN's most promising wonderkid in the world, part of the Greek squad in Euro 2048.
  • Ilias Bedrelis 45f: 18th place in the NXGN ranking, Super League Best XI, part of the Greek squad in Euro 2048.
  • Marios Thraskias 43d: 2nd place in Super League Talent of the Year, Super League Best XI.
  • Maros Lesko 39a: Kavala's top goalscorer this season.
  • Giorgos Tsakirellis 43l: Part of the Greek squad in Euro 2048.
  • I was honored to receive the Manager of the Year award in the Super League.

After several years of dedicated service to the club, we bid farewell to a few first-team players. Dimitris Chatzigiannis 36e, our captain, departed to Ajax for free. Tryfonas Synodinos 37d (part of the Greek squad in Euro 2048) and Milton Morales 43b (one of the most promising talents from our academy in recent years) also chose not to renew their contracts with us, opting to play for stronger teams (though I'd wager they'll end up with mid-table teams in the second league...).

 

Youth Intake: The standout prospect from this year's intake, much like the previous years, is yet another goalkeeper. We've seen a few promising talents emerge, such as Thanasis Paliatsios 48aJosh Coles 48bDimitris Nolis 48c and Giannis Moudouroglou 48d this time around. Our U19s secured their 15th consecutive title, albeit this time with only a 3-point margin. However, we unfortunately couldn't retain our Youth League titles or the Euro/South American Supercup.

Can you do this in Peru or Colombia. Two countries I've never managed in and want to try. One save I wanted to do was a club playing at altitude. In Peru you can start a game at two different points. Point one has 19 teams, point two 18 teams with clubs available who are not if you start at point one. Not sure if this counts?

If you are referring to the base game leagues then Peru is a no go because it has one division only.

Colombia has 2 division but doesn't have relegation from division 2 meaning no promotions and no previously unplayable clubs so its also not eligible.

Unless I have missed something I don't think either are eligible for the challenge

Well, my Norwegian adventure didn't last long.  The players were a bunch of whingers who cried themselves silly a lot.  So I lost the dressing room.

The first season always feels like the trickiest in terms of winning over the squad, keeping them happy when they complain about squad depth and obviously being able to renew the contracts of the best players.

I'd love to know the percentage of these challenges that fail in the first year, reckon it would be rather high.

Good luck in Iceland......wanted to do Iceland myself but the fact it was completed was always too big a negative for me.

Rein Meer AKA ReinBerg - Season 28 - Japan J1 League - End of Season Review & Youth Intake

League - 1st

We were actually a lot more comfortable than it looks, but we had a terrible last few games of the season (while we were trying to rest players for important Champions league group stage games). Title winners again and the 2nd time in 3 seasons.

New Stats from FM24?

I have never seen this news item before, thought it was cool and hope it's here to stay as a new feature

Champions League

We were a bit worried by Ulsan in our group as they are the current holders of the competition, however we beat them home and away. Maybe this will be the year!?!?!

We will play Sydney FC in the first knockout round.

Squad

We are very impressive now, with multiple leading players for the league and good depth in almost every position. We started playing Hirotake Kumagai (YP19K) at CB, even though by attributes he is our 3rd or 4th best centre back. However he is 6 foot 7, which in Japan is HUGE! The 10 goals he has scored have been very important. We also have three strikers in Daisuke Fukuoka (YP22C), Takayuki Ohara (YP25B) (who won Young Player of the year) and Masayosha Takahashi (YP23F) who are very very good.
Our defense was almost entirely in the Team of the Year too which is nice to see.

Youth Intake

A poor intake, but it is Mustapha Njies first intake.

Top 3 2 - Youth Intake 28

Not even 3 that could make the first team. Unless of course someone surprises me. BUT here are the top two.

Hajime Umezu (YP28A)

Actually could easily be a first team player and potentially a starter. Some great attributes in the physicals combined with great finishing is the sign of a good striker. His strength is woeful though, so hope that can improve.

Riku Kondo (YP28B)

Another from the famous 'ReinBerg Centre Back Factory'. Could be a squad player for us in the next few years and potentially even start.

Northern Ireland - Belfast Celtic - Season 4

 

image.png.001df76f5a4314c876bd34fb1518e6aa.png

 

Back again! Last season I made it into the Championship group, but at the end of this season I was caught in a relegation battle, ending 5 points clear. Things are looking up though because I think I got a semi-golden generation through this year's youth intake.

My first second and third years of youth intake were just "okay", getting two or three youth players each year. My entire is now all from the youth academy with most of the veterans retiring at the end of this season. I usually play in a 4-3-3 with a single pivot defensive midfielder. I had workable striker, wingers, defensive midfielder, and back 4, but my two midfielders were missing the key elements. This intake I got pretty good deep lying player maker with 12 passing, first touch, and decisions. He went straight into the first team and is already spraying through balls for my advanced striker. Another midfielder also came through who seems to be a good fit as well. Still don't have much time, but I hope to go in-depth with my prospective tactics. Hope to instill "Total Football" soon.
