  1. I like approaches like this! Good luck
  2. THE LOBANOVSKYI LEGACY November 2024 Results We continued our winning ways in the League and reached the semi finals in the Cup. It was a different story in Europe, where we lost 2 times and were not even able to beat Augsburg! Alas, you can´t have it all I guess... This is our injury list mid-october. Buialski, Shaparenko, Popov are out with long-term injuries. League Table If we keep this up, this could become a record season. Europe A very bad start. Even Augsburg is ahead of us!!
  3. THE LOBANOVSKYI LEGACY September 2024 Results It took some time to get used to the new tactic but it improved with every game and when the League started we were in great shape, scoring 11 goals in the first 2 games. The Supercup final against Shakhtar was a much tighter affair but thanks to their red card and a goal in the 6th minute of stoppage time we prevailed. More good news: We managed to qualify for the CL League Phase after defeating Norways Bodo/Glimt over 2 legs. League Table The perfect start. Kvilitaia seems a great new signing. Europe These are our League Phase opponents. Hard to make a prediction. And... Augsburg of all teams?? What are THEY doing in the Champions League ffs!!? Olympic Games 2024 Fantastic to see the Ukrainian team reach the final.
  4. THE LOBANOVSKYI LEGACY July 2024 Transfers We sadly lost talented winger Vanat to Lyon for 14.25M, we really wanted to keep and develop him but he was keen on the move and so we let him go. Then we went on to sell right back Tymchyk to Granada for 4.3M and winger Karavaiev to Cadiz for 1.4M. True to our transfer policy to only buy players from the former USSR states (except Russia and Belarus for obvious reasons), we sold or loaned out most of our players from non-USSR nations. The rest were loans for match practice for our younger players. We definitely had to improve our attack and brought in Georgian international striker Giorgi Kvilitaia, who scored 18 goals in 34 games last season for APOEL, for free. We signed another striker in Daniel Kivinda (11 goals in 25 games last season for Dnipro-1) for 6.25M and bolstered our central midfield with Oleksandr Pikhalionok, also from Dnipro. For only 6M, he was a real bargain. As a reaction to the long-term injury of Popov, who will be sidelined for at least 6 months, we bought young central defender Yevhen Pavliuk. Also new in the first team is Giorgi Tsitaishvili who is back from his loan spell at Dinamo Batumi. THE TEAM Goalkeepers Bushchan is of course still our number one, but our fan @ChrisWilson rightly reminded us of Neshcheret´s potential so he will get his chance in the cup games. Defense Popov will be out until November at least with damaged cruciate ligaments, so Diachuk and Pavliuk will have to step up. Midfield Shaparenko is AGAIN out of the first half of the season, AGAIN with damaged cruciate ligaments. Fortunately we got Pikhalionok now. And Tsitaishvili offers more options on the wings. Attack Kvilitaia improves our quality in attack. Last season´s topscorer Supriaha will have to battle with the other new signing Kivinda for the place beside Kvilitaia. TACTICS I tweaked the featured tactic from FMEadster a bit, pushing the wingers up more.
  5. Catching up! Great idea for a save I always remember Coloccini for his curly locks, not for being good though nevertheless - go Fabricio!
  6. Thanks! It was a good start into the save for sure
  7. I will be looking into that for sure Soon привет and welcome to the thread Thing is, Neshcheret was injured quite often... I originally planned to play him in the Ukrainian cup but as we went out early this wasnt an option anymore. He will get his chance next season.
  8. THE LOBANOVSKYI LEGACY June 2024 Results We finished the domestic season in style with 8 wins in a row. In the Europa Conference League however, Leverkusen proved too strong for us. At least we went out against the future winner of the competition. League Table In the end we finished 8 points ahead of Shakhtar. Supriaha scored the most goals and Yarmolenko provided the most assists. Shakhtar´s Sudakov won the Player Of The Season award though. Season Stats It is safe to say that Yarmolenko was our best player last season. Shaparenko showed what he is capable off but he barely played half a season and injured his cruciate ligaments in april again so he will be out for another 6 months at best. If wonder if we will ever be seeing him play fully fit. Supriaha was the Leagues topscorer but I am not sure if he really is that good as it seemed he played over his ability this season. He will have to prove himself again next season. Youngster Vanat played mostly as a winger last season but was able to score 23 goals which made him our Young Player Of The Season. Veteran winger Karavaiev did well too with double figures in goals and assists. Popov and Syrota held our defense together at the back nicely and Bushchan started every single game. Europe Inter won the Champions League and Liverpool won the Europa League.
  9. THE LOBANOVSKYI LEGACY April 2024 Results This has been the most impressive couple of months yet. We won ALL our League games and disposed of AEK and BATE in the Europa Conference League. We scored a lot too, for example against BATE in the first leg when we scored 3 goals in 4 minutes just before half time. But the most important win has been against rivals Shakhtar. We sent them home 4-0 with yet another Yarmolenko brace. This could prove a crucial win for us. League Table Looks like Zorya is out of the title race. Europe We will play Leverkusen in the quarter finals now. Youth Intake The year brought an excellent intake but I am not sure because the best players Baranovskyi and Levchenko are AMCs and usually I don´t use those positions in my tactics.
  10. Hey nice to have you here I did not really think of that too much yet as I am using a tactic that just "works" up to now but I am really considering this now. And after some googling I found something that sounds interesting to try for next season! Thank you for the inspiration, mate
  11. THE LOBANOVSKYI LEGACY February 2024 Transfers We got rid of some deadwood and non-ukraine players as I want the club to sign only Ukrainians players from the former USSR states (excluding Russia and Belarus for obvious reasons). News Silva´s win came as a surprise.
  12. THE LOBANOVSKYI LEGACY January 2024 Results Goals Goals Goals you might say, but we still drew 3 times and lost one game. We managed a draw against Shakhtar despite being one man down for most of the match so I won´t complain. We also were not able to beat lowly Minaj - this was an awful performance and I made sure the lads knew that after the game. Looks like it work as we won the following 3 games with ease. Europe looked in danger after only drawing with Besiktas and losing to Fiorentina, both times at home. But then we won the last group game against Partizani and went through to the next round. League Table Zorya lost a little bit but they are still there. Half a season is over, now we have a winter break until february. Europe Damn that was tight! But in the end we managed and will play AEK Athens in the next round.
  13. THE LOBANOVSKYI LEGACY November 2023 Results Here come the first defeats! And the very first one was a very important one - we are out of the Ukrainian Cup after losing to Karpaty in the quarter finals. This should not have happened but it did somehow and the board will not be pleased about that. Apart from that, we did pretty well in the League and in Europe too. The loss at home against Polissia was absolutely unnecessary as we were dominating the whole game and they countered us twice. In Europe, we had the most entertaining games: We drew 4-4 in our first game against Fiorentina with them scoring the seemingly winner in the 4th minute of stoppage time but right from the kick off we hit back and scored to secure a vital draw. We made short work of Partizani at home and then had quite some respect of the cauldron in Istanbul when we went to Besiktas. But somehow we won 7-0 there... Nothing happened in the first 30 minutes but then we scored and they **** their pants it seemed. In the end we had 25 shots and they had ONE. And that one wasn´t even on goal. Crazy. League Table It seems this season will be a battle of three. Europe We got 7 points after 3 games but still we can go out easily if we don´t concentrate.
  14. THE LOBANOVSKYI LEGACY September 2023 Results The season has finally started after a great pre-season. And it looked like we were able to carry our pre-season form with us, only drawing 2 games and winning the rest. The most important thing though is that we made it to the Europa Conference League Group Stage after defeating Hearts of Scotland and AGF of Denmark in the qualfying rounds. League Table 3 teams at the top with 14 points but we are only starting. And Yarmolenko among the top scorers. Europe This is our group. Fiorentina and Besiktas are strong teams, thats for sure. What about Partizani? We should be able to finish above them.
  15. Thanks mate! Nice to have you here
  16. THE LOBANOVSKYI LEGACY July 2023 Joe Baxter is back with a new mission: To help Dynamo Kyiv to its former glory which they enjoyed under beloved ex-manager and known master tactician Valery Lobanovskyi and legendary player Oleg Blokhin. They won the Cup Winners Cup in 1975 and in 1986. THE TEAM Goalkeepers Bushchan is also Ukraine´s number one so no questions here. Defense Popov, Syrota and Tymchyk all are current Ukraine internationals, while Diachuk, Brazhko and Vivcharenko are all U21 national team regulars. Midfield Sadly, one of the best players, playmaker Shaparenko is currently out injured for 6 months. Of course we all remember Andriy Yarmolenko from his stints at Dortmund and West Ham. He might be 33 already but he is still a force to be reckoned with. Nazar Voloshyn is our brightest talent here, the left winger has bags of potential for sure. Youngsters Tsarenko and Vanat both are not far behind when it comes to talent. Attack This seems the weakest part of the team. The strikers all are pretty young and inexperienced. But they got talent. TACTICS We will go with this tactic most of the time. THE STADIUM Hopefully we can expand it in the future as it seems a bit small for our future tasks. THE FANS They will be essential for our success.
  17. THE OTHER TEAM FROM GLASGOW SEASON 2038/2039 The Summer Departures saw long-time servants Carbrera, Kasalek, Matias, King and Shoretire leave the club for a combined 58M. In June we signed 2 young defenders: CD Emiliano Rodriguez and left back Kim Ki-Soo, who was loaned back to his original team for the remainder of their season. In July, we brought in versatile full-back Christian Quaye from Bayern and Attacker Miguel Pereira. In January, though... we AGAIN got robbed of our first choice goalkeeper! Tottenham offered Terranovas release clause so we couldn´t do anything. We also sold our OTHER keeper Fischler (this transfer was arranged BEFORE Tottenham came for Terranova, otherwise we would NOT have sanctioned this!) and midfielder Pena because he was complaining to much. So, AGAIN we had to look for a Goalkeeper replacement and fortunately we found that England International Goalkeeper Andrew Steel was available and keen to sign for us. So we spent the record sum of 78M to sign him. The big changes in goal happened later in January as described above. In defense we added CD Rodriguez who is a massive talent. No big changes in midfield, apart from winger Mukanya coming back from his loan at his old club and being available for us now. In attack, we added striker Pereira. We didn´t go unbeaten this season, with 3 draws and 4 defeats but still retained the title. And Scott Allan won the golden boot again, this time with only a meagre 19 goals. On our way to the final we had to beat surprise team Peterhead in the semis, did that and won the final against St. Johnstone in a tight encounter. Hearts almost defeated us in the quarter finals but we won the penalty shootout and then the final against St. Mirren it was a very one-sided affair. We did the treble again! This time we qualified DIRECTLY for the 2nd knockout round after a fantastic League Phase, and then lost to Monaco over 2 legs. This years intake was mediocre again. Still, we signed most of the players. It was obvious that we could not replicate the perfect last season. Still, this team won the treble. We added 1 League Title & 1 Scottish Cup and 1 League Cup to our Trophy Cabinet this season.
  18. THE OTHER TEAM FROM GLASGOW SEASON 2037/2038 The Summer Departures saw Koné-Ouattara and Harding leave for a combined 75M. Kuffour didnt want to extend his contract so he went to Parma for free. In June, we signed Norwegian central midfield talent Westman and young right back Vukovic. The July Signings brought us Japanese international central defender Tanaka, quick left winger Garcia from Leverkusen, right back Stanic and backup keeper Brewster from Dundee Utd. In the Winter Window we lost our first choice keeper Happe and had to bring in TWO new keepers as the signing of only one keeper didn´t please the team. Fischler brings international experience, while Terranova comes with bags of talent. Additionally, we signed young Argentinian center back Ugolini. No big changes in goal (at least during the first half of the season). Our defense was bolstered quite a bit, especially on the full back position. In midfield we added the new norwegian CM. Our attack wasn´t changed. An unbeaten Season! We only drew 2 times. Scott Allen again won the golden boot. We began slow, but then the goals kept coming. And so we beat Dundee United 5-0 in the final. Same here. Slow start but then we beat Hibernian 5-1 in the final. Another domestic treble for us! We once more qualfied from the League Phase, then we went on to beat AC Milan and then we lost to Atletico Madrid in the typical Atleti way. This years intake was great. I am sure we signed a few great talents there. The Invincibles! A fantastic record-breaking season! We added 1 League Title & 1 Scottish Cup and 1 League Cup to our Trophy Cabinet this season.
