The Lilies January 2029 Transfers The Saudis came to visit again. Sad to let prolific scorer Pellegri go but we already have his successor in Zeba who can step up now. Muller wanted to bathe in money so we let him. We signed another young central defender talent. Jovanovic has lots of potential. Results Good results if you look at the opposition. We held Dortmund at home, then we held Eintracht away in the Hessen Derby and then we narrowly beat Cologne. The defeat against Bayern was expected, as always. Bundesliga Table The race for Europe stretches down to 12th placed Cologne! We can´t afford to take a breather.

The Lilies November & December 2028 Results Nice to see how relaxed the schedule becomes once you are not playing in Europe anymore. And we had a very relaxed November too as we won all games in that month! First we defeated Stuttgart with a goal in stoppage time, then dominated Kiel at their home in a 3-0 away win. Our player Can Uzun who is loaned to Nuremberg gave them the lead against us in the next game but we managed to turn the result around and win. The next result was a surprise: We kicked big Borussia Dortmund out of the DFB Pokal! The difference in an even game was that we managed to score twice and they didn´t. We will play 3.Liga outfit Jahn Regensburg in the quarter finals next. We then traveled to Hoffenheim and snatched a draw in a boring game. The next game against Bochum wasn´t boring at all but it had the same outcome: A draw. Then we went to Hamburg for the last game of the year and got butchered 3-0. Not a nice way to end the year. The Ultras were not amused. Bundesliga Table It is a tight season.

Sure, but in this case I suspect the guy being some kind of show man

Decent start to the season! This is looking good

Absolutely. That mirrors my opinion.

Exactly

Oh and some reality check here: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13153563/Furious-Ultra-storms-pitch-deliver-brutal-dressing-players-Bundesliga-Darmstadt-humiliated-6-0-home-slide-closer-relegation.html

Well done in beating Bayern! Come on you wolves

Maybe the manager just bought him some new, clean spectacles

The Lilies September & October 2028 Results We beat Freiburg easily 1-0 before falling to Leipzig in a narrow 2-3 defeat. We beat Schalke 3-1 in a tough game and then we had about 3 weeks to relax a bit but still Leverkusen made short work of us when the Bundesliga continued in October. Augsburg held us to a draw a week later but then we took all 3 points at newly promoted Paderborn. It took a penalty shootout against 2.Bundesliga outfit Greuther Fürth to go through to the 3rd round in the DFB Pokal where we will meet Borussia Dortmund at home. 3 days later we trashed Wolfsburg 3-0. Bundesliga Table Our recent form helped us climb to 6th.

The Lilies August 2028 Results A tough game against 2.Bundesliga outfit Elversberg in the DFB Pokal, but we managed to progress to the next round in the end. We will have to travel to Greuther Fürth in the 2nd round, another 2.Bundesliga team. Our first Bundesliga game at Cologne ended in a draw. Then we beat our rivals convincingly in the Hessen Derby. And then we lost against Bayern. Bundesliga Table A decent start. Nothing special.

The Lilies July 2028 Transfers The only notable departure is Riedel. Volland decided to call it a day and end his career. Not many transfers this time. Nelson is a talented left wingback who got loaned back to his original club right away. Gambini is a highly talented central defender who will improve our defense immediately. Holm is a proven wing back who can play on both sides. Prömel is a DM veteran with lots of experience. Koch was only bought as a backup. The Team Goalkeepers Urbig is the future. Schuhen is the past. John is only a backup. Key Player: Jonas Urbig Defenders Gambini should lead our back three, despite his young age. Key player: Andrei Borza Midfielders Prömel brings much needed experience to our midfield. Key Player: Rodrigo Villagra Attackers Torsiello is back after years on loan but he won´t be more than a backup player. Zeba and Pellegri will fight for the only place in attack. Key Player: Pietro Pellegri Tactics Those tactics worked well most of the time last season. Board Expectations No Europe for us this season. Club News The could have been a bit more creative with the stadium name though. Pre-Season Friendlies Hey we even beat Real Madrid! Maybe a good omen for the season? Then again we lost against Leicester...

Too many draws do not help indeed... maybe a tactical change might offer new possibilities...

I was worried about that too but he absolutely did accept the role with a new 2 year contract. Legend Sure, go ahead! Would love to see if it works for you

The Lilies April & May 2028 Results We got a bit closer to Europe in the end but it wasn´t enough. At least we managed what the board wanted: A top half finish. We started April well by beating Hamburg at their place, then expectedly lost the 1st leg against Chelsea, drew in the Hessen Derby once more, lost the 2nd leg against Chelsea and went out in the Europa League quarter finals which I consider a success. We only managed a point at lowly Hannover, but then beat Freiburg and Augsburg. We were now sitting on 7th place which would have been enough for Europe. But then we lost to the big ones Leverkusen and Dortmund and the dream was over. Bundesliga Table In the end it was 9th place. The board wanted a top half finish and we delivered. Although European qualification again would have been nice. Pellegri won the golden boot with 25 goals. Youth Again, our U19 got promoted to the national youth league. Hopefully, we will be able to avoid relegation next season. Season Stats Pellegri scored 35 goals this season, I hope we can hold on to him as the clubs are already piling up to sign him. Urbig will replace Schuhen as our first choice goalkeeper next season, he already played a lot this season and did well. Zeba improved massively this season and was even voted Best Young Player In The Europa League. Winter signing Ares showed his class and already is a first teamer. Quite some players will have to leave after the season though as we are building for the future.

Theoretically for sure. Good idea with the team meeting, I never think of that possibility but this seems a legit way to push them a bit! Thanks mate

The Lilies February & March 2028 Results We continued to shine in Europe despite being awful in the Bundesliga. We lost the first 3 league games in February: Against Bayern, Cologne and even Schalke, before we recorded a win again against Nuremberg. We lost the next league game at Leipzig, but then somehow managed to win in Glasgow. I don´t know, these players seem to love the big stage obviously. We then managed to steal a point at Stuttgart. In the 2nd leg against Celtic, they took the lead 6 Minutes from the end which meant we had to go to extra time where Zeba scored and secured our quarter final qualification. There we will meet Chelsea. In the next game we returned to our losing ways and Hoffenheim defeated us easily at home. Bundesliga Table I think we can say goodbye to Europe. Youth Intake Another uninteresting intake. Buchhart seems to be the best of this mediocre bunch.

The Lilies January 2028 Transfers Both were moaning about playing time. Ok, get out on loan! Here comes our record transfer: We signed Uber-talent midfielder Ivan Ares from Almeria. Hopefully he can live up to our hype. And we signed right back Vavrik. Results Thats a bit better. We grabbed a point at home against Dortmund, then we lost away at Wolfsburg. We even won AT Sporting in the Europa League! Mainz was defeated just as Ludogorets in the EL afterwards. Then we drew at Gladbach to top off the January fixtures. Bundesliga Table We are still there in contention for Europe but we need to do better in the league! Europe This has been a fantastic League Phase from us! We finished 2nd and will play in the last 16 straight away.

The Lilies November & December 2027 Results We are struggling domestically but starring in Europe! We took a valuable point at Celtic park, then lost to Hamburg at home. We also failed to beat Eintracht in the Hessen Derby. Gent was defeated in the Europa League before we lost to Hamburg for the 2nd time this month to go out of the DFB Pokal. Freiburg defeated us before we came back with a bang to trash Astana 3-0. The points were shared in a draw against Augsburg at home and then finally we won a league game again: 2-1 against Hannover. 3 days later we lost at Leverkusen again. Bundesliga Table We dropped quite some positions. Europe We are doing great in Europe though.

We will see in the future. Not yet though

Maybe your hard drive is full?

Damn! Now that the new update is out, i am very tempted to start a new save with Athletic! Have to give this a big thought at home...

The Lilies September & October 2027 Results Wow the calender was packed with games the last 2 months! We did well in the beginning but a little tiredness set in versus the end of October and we had to rotate a lot. September began with an expected defeat against Bayern, then we won our first Europe League game against Celta in style. Cologne away was next and we were able to win there as well. In Europe, we continued with a win in Italy at Salerno and defeated Schalke 2-1 at home. This was followed by two 1-0 wins against Nurnberg respectively Leipzig, before our home game against Braga brought us our first loss in the Europa League. We somehow lost our confidence and also lost our next home game against Stuttgart. At least we could record a win again in the DFB Pokal against 2.Bundesliga outfit Duisburg before we lost at Hoffenheim in a match where both defenses simply did not exist. Bundesliga Table Still going strong despite the recent loss of our good form. Europe Looking good in Europe as well.

Money seems too tight to mention, but with players like that you should be fine this season

The Lilies August 2027 Results Our best start into a season yet! Amateur side Lichtenberg played well and made it way tougher than expected but we progressed to round 2 of the DFB Pokal where we will play MSV Duisburg at home. Then we went to Mainz and won. Wolfsburg visited us a week later but was sent home without points. And to end the month we defeated Gladbach. Bundesliga Table Perfect points after 3 games. Europe These are our opponents in the Europa League.
