Thanks everyone. This year's game feels a lot easier for some reason, I don't know if it's our teams playing a lot better because of the ME (I saw some truly beautiful team goals) or the lack of rotation of the AI

Sociedad Deportiva Leioa 2036/2037 Season Review Competitions | League Table | Transfers | Schedule Part 1 | Schedule Part 2 | Schedule Part 3 (Europe) And with this amazing season, the challenge is completed. We were just so consistent during the entire season, improved massively on defense and kept a very good attack. I thought that we were 2 years away, but sometimes you get surprised. Team Stats Team at the Start of the Season | Team at the End of the Season Team Stats It is a flawed team, but more than good enough for the Champions League, I guess! Team of the Season: GK – Oier Ruiz RB – Inaki Eguaras CB – Lucas Leguizamon CB – Aritz Melendez LB – Iker Celihueta CDM – Aimar Galan CM – Gorka Pascual CM – Alex Goikoetxea RW – Jesus Vallejo LW – Aitor Marco ST – Ander Martin S1 – Endika Herrero S2 – Jon Angulo S3 – Diego Lacruz S4 – Javier Munoz S5 – Koldo Garai S6 – Joseba Goti S7 – Jean-Luc Gerard Youth Intake Rest of the Players GK – Iban Sola RB / CB – Manuel Ruiz LM / LW – Javier Alcalde CAM – Ricardo Aranburu ST / CAM – Alberto Lorono Other Stuff Yearly Progression Manager Attribute Progression Youth Player Stats Gora Leioa! @darren1983

Sociedad Deportiva Leioa 2036/2037 Mid Season Review / Youth Intake Preview I think that this might be the year that we win the League. Barcelona has looked mortal and Oier Ruiz being in the list of most clean sheets shows how much we improved on defense. 5 As at this point, when we already have a pretty good team, is amazing. We now have the 7th best Youth Setup in the world. Funnily enough, out star graduate is the only player that does not play for us

Sociedad Deportiva Leioa 2035/2036 Season Review Competitions | League Table | Transfers | Schedule Part 1 | Schedule Part 2 | Schedule Part 3 Another amazing season. For a while we actually were on top of La Liga, but our lack of depth compared with other teams, especially Barcelona, costed us at the end. Not a bad run in the Champions League as well, getting to the Quarter Finals on our 1st season is outstanding. In terrible news, for the 1st team in their history, Athletic will not be playing top tier football. Team Stats Team at the Start of the Season | Team at the End of the Season Team Stats A much, much better season offensively from the lads, and Vallejo has become a star for us with a ridiculous return of 52 goal contributions. Team of the Season: GK – Oier Ruiz RB – Inaki Eguaras CB – Lucas Leguizamon CB – Aritz Melendez LB – Iker Celihueta CDM – Aimar Galan CM – Gorka Pascual CM – Alex Goikoetxea RW – Jesus Vallejo LW – Aitor Marco ST – Ander Martin S1 – Koldo Garai S2 – Jon Sanchez S3 – Diego Lacruz S4 – Javier Munoz S5 – Endika Herrero S6 – Jean-Luc Gerard S7 – Gaizka Alonso We are going to have to do some shuffling, especially on defense. Our starting defense is pretty solid, and Diego Lacruz is a very capable backup, but the rest of the defense is by far our weakest point. Youth Intake Only rated as "Good" this time, but I can see Imanol Ruiz featuring heavily next year on the main team, he certainly has the athletic ability to do so Rest of the Players: RB / CB / LB – Pablo Arrizabalaga CB / CDM / CM – David Martin LB / LW – Aitor Barreto LM / RM – Jokin Diaz CM / CAM / ST – Borja Ormaetxea CAM / CM / RW / ST – Gaizka Martinez RW / CAM / ST – Eneko Alonso ST / CAM / RW – Jose Etxebarria ST / RW / LW – Mikel Alonso Other Stuff Yearly Progression Manager Attribute Progression Youth Player Stats Gora Leioa!

Sociedad Deportiva Leioa 2035/2036 Mid Season Review / Youth Intake Preview Incredibly tight at the top, and we can dream about winning the title, right? It does not hurt to dream Only a "Good" Intake, but I will take a CB and a CDM. We can also do with a couple more wingers, but I am working on a much more narrow tactic that I can deploy if need be

NxGn is heavily biased towards prospects that actually play games, that is why you can have random colombians ou peruvians to pad out the list. But yeah, this is the 3rd year where we have had players in at least the top 5, with Ander Martin already winning it

Sociedad Deportiva Leioa 2034/2035 Season Review Competitions | League Table | Transfers | Schedule Part 1 | Schedule Part 2 What a season! Despite us losing our best player in Asier Marco for his release clause, we have improved so much that we actually got in the Champions League! Team Stats Team at the Start of the Season | Team at the End of the Season Team Stats Big improvements around the fringes of the team, and I rotated the squad a lot more to just to bring in some more players into the squad Team of the Season: GK – Oier Ruiz RB – Inaki Eguaras CB – Lucas Leguizamon CB – Aritz Melendez LB – Diego Lacruz CDM – Jon Sanchez CM – Koldo Garai CM – Gorka Pascual RW – Jesus Vallejo LW – Aitor Marco ST – Ander Martin S1 – Gaizka Alonso S2 – Jean-Luc Gerard S3 – Iker Celihueta S4 – Iker Villanueva S5 – Alex Goikoetxea S6 – Ibai Prieto S7 – Ander Larrea A couple of new faces in our starting 11 here. Aitor Marco was a product of last years Intake, Vallejo has been steadily winning his starting spot over Villanueva and Jon Sanchez had to step up with our starting DM leaving. Next year, I want to bring in Goikoetxea, Celihueta and a new player to the starting 11. Youth Intake Aimar Galan is, without a doubt, the best product of our academy so far. He is a day 1 everyday starter and I am already retraining him as a CDM. The rest of the lads are going to be spending time in our U19s Rest of the Players: GK – Ander Bravo CB – Manuel Palanca LB – Iker Alvarez RM / RWB / RW – Inigo Lambarri LM – Egoitz Ruiz RM / LM – Galder Ramos ST / LW / CAM – Mikel Gutierrez Other Stuff Yearly Progression Manager Attribute Progression Youth Player Stats Gora Leioa!

Sociedad Deportiva Leioa 2034 / 2035 Mid Season Review / Youth Intake Preview What a start to the season! Ander Martin is just another gravy, he has been carrying us and we might just sneak inbto Europe Another great Intake Preview. A new CB would be nice and a possible backup Striker would allow me to shift some players around

Ok, from a quick google search, the Copa Federacion is only for teams that did not qualify for the Copa del Rey. Which is strange, because you played in the Copa del Rey as did I when I played on the 1st season. Might just be a bug, tbqh. Or maybe it's because we were Terceira Federacion teams in the previous year and then we got to the 4th tier? I do not know

I only took part in the Federation Cup on my 1st season, have no idea why or how to get qualified

Sociedad Deportiva Leioa 2033/2034 Season Review Competitions | League Table | Transfers | Schedule Part 1 | Schedule Part 2 We almost, almost, made it into Europe. Another great season for us though! Team Stats Team at the Start of the Season | Team at the End of the Season Team Stats Team of the Season: GK – Oier Ruiz RB – Inaki Eguaras CB – Lucas Leguizamon CB – Aritz Melendez LB – Diego Lacruz CDM – Asier Marco CM – Koldo Garai CM – Gorka Pascual RW – Ignacio Villanueva LW – Gaizka Alonso ST – Ander Martin Youth Intake Both Iker and Aitor Marco go into the 1st team as backups, the rest looks decent. Rest of the Players: GK – Unai Prieto CB – Raul Pastor CB / RB / LB / LWB – Javier Ruiz CM / RM / LM – Daniel Goni CM / RM / RW – Mikel Franco LW / LM / CAM – Ignacio Nieto LW / RW / CAM – Luis Carlos Del Estal ST / LW / CAM – Ekaitz Gonzalez Other Stuff Yearly Progression Manager Attribute Progression Youth Player Stats In general news, we had our first World Cup player, with Leguizamon playing one game for Uruguay in the 2034, which was won by Mexico! Gora Leioa!

Sociedad Deportiva Leioa 2033/2034 Mid Season Review / Youth Intake Preview It looks like another pretty boring and safe season, which I will take More talent incoming, we actually don't play with a CAM but maybe he can be retrained as either a CM or a winger

Sociedad Deportiva Leioa 2032/2033 Season Review Competitions | League Table | Transfers | Schedule Part 1 | Schedule Part 2 A pretty remarkably safe season, all things considered. I was expecting us to get absolutely destroyed but we stayed out of the relegation places all season. In other good news, Athletic managed to stay up! Team Stats Team at the Start of the Season | Team at the End of the Season Team Stats As always, we have a pretty set starting 11 and then we have a couple of players that come regularly off the bench Team of the SeasonGK - Oier Ruiz RB - Alejandro Arrizabalaga CB - Lucas Leguizamon CB - Aritz Melendez LB - Diego Lacruz CDM - Asier Marco CM - Koldo Garai CM - Gorka Pascual RW - Ignacio Villanueva LW - Gaizka Alonso ST - Ander Martin Our main flaw as a team right now is at RB. Arrizabalaga is solid, sure, but nowhere neat good enough to be a starter for us, and that means that we are going to adapt a RW to RB. Youth Intake The overall quality is improving, but our top top players, unless they are a position change, no longer just walk into our first team Eguaras is our new starting RB and he actually does not look half bad at it. Goikoetxea is our backup ST and Munoz continues to help rebuild our midfield Rest of the Players GK - Javier Seguin RB / CB - Kepa Imaz CB / RB - Inaki Garmendia CB / LB - Jagoba Madariaga LM / LB / LWB - Xabi Etxabe CM / RW / LW - Alberto Ochoa ST / LW / RW - Endika Herrero Other Stuff Yearly Progression Manager Attribute Progression Youth Player Stats Gora Leioa!

Ander Martin accepted United's offer and I was able to cancel it, no matter what, I am selling him next season

Sociedad Deportiva Leioa 2032/2033 Mid Season Review / Youth Intake Preview I am shocked. I was dreaming about getting 20 points all season, but we are being just so solid and still haven't really been destroyed by anyone. In terrible news, Athletic being in the relegation places is incredibly bad. Very very top heavy, but I am not afraid of adapting some of those wingers to full backs or strikers to wingers EDIT: Well, there goes my starting striker. Just offered him out for 50% of next transfer, and got an offer from United for 7.5M€
