Thanks a lot! In both seasons in the PL we had mini-crisis that didn't help us attacking more severely for the top 4 even though we were 4th in January!

Just finished my third season, respectively second in the Premier League and we are in the EL!

Massive result, we ended the season with €50M in the bank as I try not to buy pricey players. Ollie Watkins finished 3rd in the goalscorers, Alexander Isak 4th. Superb!

We bought Lovro Majer, Amine Gouiri, Patrick Roberts and Felix Beijmo before the season. The Croatian is doing really good. In the winter we sold Ayoze Perez for €18M (who was bought for just €9M) and bought for the same money Ebere Eze & Amine Harit.
 

Next season we will attack the top 4 after we succeeded with getting into the top 6 first. Have a lot of fun with this save of course with my own restrictions as the board gives you absurd money to spend. We expanded the stadium to 25k however we still don't have U23 team and maybe it's time to do that. We steal a lot of youngsters from big clubs (PSG, Inter, Bayern).

[FM20 Brentford Team Guide - The Bees Are Buzzing]

Hello guys,

I was really inspired by this topic and the interesting methods that Brentford is using so there was no chance NOT to take the challenge of making history with them in the game.

I just finished my first season as I try to play as close as I can to their IRL philosophies such as : signing Scandinavians, signing players only from less inflated markets, signing players to make profit, NOT signing players over 31 or players with high transfer fees.

Here are some of the highlights of the season.

Trying to loan every single of the Brentford B squad so they can develop not in friendly matches.

Didn't buy or sell anyone until the winter transfer window as I always try to play (so to be realistic). In the winter:

Also sold Mokotjo & Karelis in the MLS for 2 mil.

And bought three players:

- 500k.

- 1.7 mil.

- 2.8 mil.

The Final league table

 

Lost to Villa for Carabao Cup.

We managed to eliminate Chelsea in the FA Cup, but we lost against Man Utd.

In the league we were almost unbeatable, our 2 defeats in the last games was due to using youngsters and still we have only 4 defeats. Great season, maybe the first time ever I play in the Championship (and I play every year with a team) and didn't even had difficulties. Really smooth season. Here are some stats. There is not 1 single player that was useless this season, everyone were great!

Watkins, Jensen, Mbeumo, Benrahma, Roerslev, Pontus, Henry, Raya! ALL are great players and there are plenty more of course.

Now comes the tough part to play in the PL.

I signed some great talent for the next season (by again following the IRL strategy, of course it's hard if you want the best players)

Got Toni Moya, 21, Spanish (free from A. Madrid), Fruchtl, 20, German (375k from Bayern), Simon Tibbling, 25, Swedish (1.6 mil from Brondby), Adam Andersson, 23, Swedish, (1 mil from Hacken), Alexander Isak, 20, Swedish (13,25 mil from Real Sociedad), Alfa Semedo, 22, Portugese (1.6 from Benfica).

I still have another 25 mil in the bank and maybe will go for one more big signing (big fee, probably young player), but we will see.

Also will try to get some young player released by the best European clubs for free.

Sold only Marcondes for 5.5 mil in the MLS.

I need a couple of advises - first how to make another Home grown players (besides Rico Henry), for how many years they should be playing at the club?

Second - I didn't expect that there is no youth intake at all, just thought that they are gonna be ****** players, is this the case in the next season as well? (I don't want to ask for U23 team)?

Also have someone played with a Loan manager and should I get one, so I don't manage every single loan deal by myself or it's not the great idea.

I don't know if I can do that here, but I have keep a blog with monthly updates for my Brentford career (if it's forbidden just delete it) - https://onemoregame7.blogspot.com
