Argentina Premier Division 2033 (season 12) Season Summary Really disapointing tbh, feels like a real step back. It was all going pretty well as well, after 24 games we were sitting fifth and looking good for another qualification to the libertadores. Amd then this happened.... Sheffield United triggered the release clause for our best midfielder just before that run, which probably didn't help. @XaW's troubles at Folkestone kinda put it into some perspective though - we still qualified for continental football and i still got a job! South America is frutsrating though as it's almost impossible to hold on to your best players so it's a constant cycle of rise and fall. Soon as someone get half decent we can't afford to keep them or they get poached by someone. Ah well. We go again! Players So I was half expecting a small drop in performances as I had to play far more youngsters than I'd like, due to losing a few of the older players. Inconsistency is just one of those things you get to expect with so many young players Pinedo 32A and Pacheco 32B are gonna be great players, but I'm expecting too much from them to be putting in match winning performances week in week out at 17. But they're the best players inthose positions at the minute! Gabriel Benitez 26B stepping up as a good premier league striker is a massive bonus, Emilio Dell'Ollio 26A announcing he want to play for a bigger club with a year left on his contract really isn't. Youth Do those improving youth facilities give us improving youth intakes? Not noticeably, we're still without any wonderkids, and no obvious candidates either a nice preview though! 3 elite talents isn't too shabby either. the pick of the bunch is this fella:- but altogether a really nice set of personalities to be honest Finances and Upgrades Sheffield United offered 3.2m for our star midfielder halfway through the season. He had a 4m rease clasue so i asked for an added 50% sell on. They said no then a week later came back with the 4m to trigger his release clause. So they got him on the cheap but I got a bit of cash and was able to do this:- Career

oh man, that really sucks. I've lost count of the amount of sell ons i've lost out on because they rotted in the reserves and got released on a free but those exchanges are much worse!

Argentina Premier League 2032 (season 11) Season Summary Another pretty good season but again not quite good enough to challenge for the title. But as long as I finish top 6 and qualify for the Copa Libertadores then we should do alright. That's where all the money is! Copa Libertadores A really good campaign this year. We got a relatively easy group with Bragantino, Indepeniente del Valle of Ecuador and Deportivo La Guaira of Venezuela. No slip ups in the group stage this time and we got through relatively easily Once you're through the group stages the money rolls. in. Each round is worth at least £1m! First round was against Corinthians of Brazil, and we were brilliant! Second round was against fellow Argeninian side Velez, and they did us again. But QF is not bad! Players A young team again as we said goodbye to a couple of first teamers during the close season. Again it was the defence that stood out. Not sure why, it's an attacking tactic I use, but defenders always do well in it. Especially Mauro Gimenez 25B. He's only rated as a good premier league player by our coaches, but he plays like a star We could really do with some new full backs though Finances and Upgrades So we had a few contract problems at the start of the season. Arce 25B would only sign a new contract at 20k, as would Barrientos 25A. The board limited us to only 10k so there was no way I could re-sign them. So I offered them out for sale and.... Best I could do! Every offer was un-negotiable and it was the best one. He did really well at Olympiakos as well - the clause is available to be bought out for 1m already! Barrientos 25A was less successful. I offered him out, got a few takers, he got annoyed with me for offering him out, refused any contract and decided to consider his options at the end of the season instead. And then signed a pre-contract agreement with Independiente, one of our rivals! But we did get around £4m in transfer fees in which meant we could do a bit of upgrading It's a slow process but we're improving! Youth Part of the problem is we still haven't had a wonderkid come through the ranks. It would be a lot easier if we did. This years preview was another pretty good one:- But would it have any wonderkids? Probably not.... even though it promised a golden generation. Pinedo 32A looks good with 2.5 star CA but I'm not convinced. Nice personality though but I will have to try and train him as an AML. i don't use MLs. Career
