Vladis Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Stanley Cullis (25 October 1916 – 28 February 2001). During his term as manager between 1948 and 1964, Wolves became one of the strongest teams in the English game, winning the league title on three occasions, and playing a series of high-profile friendly matches against top European sides which acted as a precursor to the European Cup. Honours: First League Champions: 1953–54, 1957–58, 1958–59 FA Cup Winners: 1949, 1960 FA Charity Shield: 1959 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to Molineux. I have several goals for this save: Global: To surpass great achievements of Stan Cullis. We need to win at least 4 EPL titles, at least 3 FA Cups and at least two 2 Community Shield. Important: Win Champions League. Additional: 1. "Bull`s Challenge". Our player should score at least 307 goals for Wolves in all competitions. 2. "Parkin`s Challenge". Our player should made at least 610 appearances for Wolves in all competitions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladis Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 I have no complaints about finances or facilities. They are at a very good level. Actually, I have everything at my disposal to progress the club. Though there is the only one crucial factor of the progress - it`s our performance on the pitch. Meet the Manager Knight's career has a lot of parallels to the pathway of legendary Stan Cullis. Being professional footballer, he got a serious injury and quite early decided to hang up his boots. And, as like Stan, he was appointed head coach at the age of 31. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladis Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 MEET THE SQUAD Goalkeeping line José Sá | Daniel Bentley | Tom King Defensive line Craig Dawson | Jonny | Nélson Semedo | Matt Doherty | Rayan Aït-Nouri | Max Kilman | Toti | Santiago Bueno | Hugo Bueno Midfield Line Mario Lemina | J. Bellegarde | João Gomes | Bruno Jordão | Tommy Doyle | Boubacar Traoré | Joe Hodge Attacking line Pablo Sarabia | Matheus Cunha | Fábio Silva | Hee-chan Hwang | Pedro Neto | Saša Kalajdžić I have mixed impressions about the squad. We have very creative attacking line, first-class goalkeeper, and good quality on the defensive flanks. But I find our midfield weak in comparison with other teams in the league. And I would like to have higher quality of depth in central defensive area. Key players José Sá Matt Doherty João Gomes Pablo Sarabia Matheus Cunha Young players to watch Joe Hodge - I have big hopes for this guy. Enso González - good potential but he should put a lot of work on improving his physic to match EPL standards. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladis Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 SEASON 2023-2024 | PREVIEW Friendly matches We had enough time for eight fixtures. I`m glad about results but couldn`t be such positive talking about our performance in defense. Hopefully with rising cohesion we will see better collective defensive actions on the pitch Tactical set-up and proposed First XI Idea here is to create 3-1-6 in possession while defending in mid-block 4-4-1-1 (4-4-2). Shorter but more decisive passes and quick counter-attacks. I`m not 100% sure it will work in the season as I want but let`s see. And another small tactical experiment: I decided to retrain Nelson Semedo to winger role in AM strata. As we have defensive-minded role on the right fullback side, dribbling and pace of Semedo could be utilized in attack.

Vladis Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 SEASON 2023-2024 | AUGUST Opening day was outstanding, though in the first half of match it looked like we will concede at least 5 goals, we just didn`t cope with Sheffield quick counter attacks. No chances at Anfield, hard win over Brighton and surprising defeat in EFL Cup to Norwich. We made comeback after 0-3 in the first half, but in penalty shootout series lost 9-10 (!). Tbh defending is nightmare in this FM p.s. is this image readable enough? I play with some free services like Visma to create graphical content, but may will return to common updates with images directly loaded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladis Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 SEASON 2023-2024 | SEPTEMBER We definitely should raise our performance if we want to avoid relegation battle. Calendar gifted us "light mode" start but later we will face all top clubs and strong "best of the rest" teams like Aston Villa, Brentford etc. I still have faith in our tactical approach but maybe it`s time to prepare plan B.

Vladis Posted November 24, 2023 Author Share Posted November 24, 2023 SEASON 2023-2024 | OCTOBER Match with Arsenal is the brightest performance in this season so far. Absolutely mad end of first half with 3 goals in 5 minutes. No chances in Birmingham and strong-willed draw at home with Everton. 10 games past and we fight hard for every point, sometimes successfully.

Vladis Posted November 25, 2023 Author Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) SEASON 2023-2024 | DECEMBER Very tough calendar in December, 5 matches with top clubs. In almost all these matches we were in the game but our efforts didn`t bring points except for 1 point at Tottenham stadium. First leg in the league is behind and we meet expectations, no more or no less. Edited November 25, 2023 by Vladis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladis Posted November 25, 2023 Author Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) SEASON 2023-2024 | JANUARY TRANSFER WINDOW Players Out Players In Patrick Berg - huge upgrade to our midfield line. He is true Model Citizen after all. Destiny Ugodie - With Ait-Nouri constantly getting injures we needed another option on left side of defence. Ugodie lost his place in struggling Tottenham and agreed loan move to our club. What a start oof the year! Our alternative 5-2-3 tactic helped us a lot in first three matches. I still think that it`s plan B but this plan is definitely good. This winning streak create a little handicap between us and teams below, but we have 15 matches ahead and everything could happen.

Vladis Posted November 26, 2023 Author Share Posted November 26, 2023 SEASON 2023-2024 | FEBRUARY It's safe to say we caught a lucky break. I couldn`t say these were perfect matches but we were clinical in attack, largely thanks to set pieces and Kalajdzic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladis Posted November 26, 2023 Author Share Posted November 26, 2023 SEASON 2023-2024 | MARCH Another good month with two wins in a league and decent performance in FA cup.

Vladis Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share Posted November 27, 2023 SEASON 2023-2024 | APRIL I see absolutely new level of our performance. Somehow we found stability in defence even with very average players there. And in attack we always have chances with guys like Neto, Cunha and of course "King of the air" Kalajdzic, who is one of the main openings in EPL this season. We've already accomplished board`s main objective for the season and now even can qualify for the Europe if we will be able to keep the form in last three matches with West Ham, Brighton and Luton.

Vladis Posted November 28, 2023 Author Share Posted November 28, 2023 SEASON 2023-2024 | MAY We were on the verge of qualifying for continental football next season but Cunha's totally inappropriate and dirty tackle followed by red card in the match against Luton denied us the chance to climb into the top 6. But there's no need to be discouraged. Maybe it's a bit early for us to go to Europe, given the issues in the defensive line. We'll likely have to overhaul 80% of it this summer, provided we have the necessary finances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But an outstanding second half lifted us almost to the Europa zone and if we didn't suffer an upset defeat to Luton in the last game of the season, we could be looking at continental football next season."

Vladis Posted December 4, 2023 Author Share Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) SEASON 2024-2025 | PREVIEW Transfers Players Out Semedo and Sarabia were in last year of contract and with good offers received we let them leave the club. Also, we received some good money for players who were out of my plans. Players In Massive overhaul of defensive line and replace for Sarabia in face of Angel Gomes Nordi Mukiele - player of the highest calibre. Was №1 in shortlist for IFB role. Perr Schuurs - one of the best defenders in Serie A last season according to most important stats and metrics. Model Citizen. Josh Doig - another one from Italian Serie A. He meets the standards of EPL and still has a potential to the growth. Stanley Nsoki - we needed left-footed center back who is comfortable on the ball. Taylor Harwood-Bellis - good young defender, Man City academy graduate. Can play in center and on the right flank of defense. Angel Gomes - Angel failed to realise his potential in MU, but he proved himself at Lille and returns to England as a regular starter. Tommy Doyle - Tommy didn't get much time on loan last season, but he showed himself at his best and deserved a full contract. Man City were not keen on keeping him and let him go for a very modest fee. Alex McCarthy - very experienced keeper signed on one-year contract for backup slot. Full roster and proposed First XI Guedes, Podence and Campbell return to the squad after loan spells last season.

Vladis Posted December 5, 2023 Author Share Posted December 5, 2023 SEASON 2024-2025 | AUGUST We have started the season on a undefeated streak. So far, in terms of our game, everything has turned upside down compared to last season. We are very solid in defence, but in attack we play rather poorly. At the same time, Gomes has bright debut for us with 3 goals already, which is pleasing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladis Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 SEASON 2024-2025 | SEPTEMBER A very difficult month with two tough games in the EPL against top teams.

united99 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Hi I’ve just started a wolves save using same formation but can’t get my striker to score many. I’ve tried Silva and Cunha as the strikers because I play Kalajdzic as the number ten where he’s doing pretty well so far. Also did you get much funds in January please thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
