Don’t forget Hertha Berlin this time! It’s not only that the East German clubs haven’t been successful, but that not many players from Berlin or East Germany have made the national team since the unification. I think the current most successful player (also from Berlin) is Real Madrid’s Toni Kroos.

Some decisions to make with those 5* players. How long does it take for a player to become naturalised? That would help with FGN spots. It also feels like you’ve got a fair chunk of the Egyptian u20/21’s team (not sure which they have) Oh yeah, are you interested in buying players in their 30’s? Fofana at Chelsea for instance.

That sort of experience with a player trait changes how you view it. I’ve only seen players dwelling on the ball and getting tackled. How did you come up with using it this way?

I can’t remember this trait being used effectively before

Some of those GKers that came out of your academy are excellent. Just a pity it was at the wrong moment to keep them I’d also point out your keeper’s decision making too. It will be curious to see if a marquee DC is found, or along the way of a keeper is spotted instead. Time to try the shorter keepers?

Congrats on the cup win I bet it was a relief to finish the season in the end. Lyon’s interview is a surprise, much like you winning best German manager (because of the cup win?)! Transfers look in hand for Twenty. Reputation raising is coming along swimmingly

Looks good. Feels a bit easier to decipher than the numbers, and visually looks better. See you in a couple of seasons?

Sacked? Leaves more time to train those youngsters getting all those awards and playing in Finals. I think the board thought that it should have been Congo and not The Gambia who was eliminated by Morocco. Incidentally, it’s pretty awesome to have wonderkids playing for both teams in the final. Which leads me to scouting, and what is showing up now in your youth intakes personalities, and the top filtering you’ve been doing with those reports and the players signed. I’d previously noticed that the squad personality type is professional The cup run is excellent, with a great opportunity looming. It’s good that your league form hasn’t completely been forgotten about getting the odd win even if you are rotating. Onwards with the final push of the season

All makes perfect sense This approach reminds me of @_Ben_ thread he has going in Career Updates too.

Judging by the mid-table position, your player’s performed to expectations (of course your expectations are different). Now you know the state of the club. Good thing you’ve just got a good youth intake preview I’ve been wondering, are you playing with no player skills showing and relying on stats to determine the success and quality of players?

Benfica are tough! They don’t leave much room to drop points. You almost need a perfect season to win the league.

It surprised me too when I found out that they had bought a minority stake.

Until Qatar came calling (from wiki): OwnerQatar Sports Investments (21,67%) Sundown Investments Limited (17,04%) Not sure who that Sundown Investments Limited group is.

Looks like you’ve organised the squad/team, and now it’s about tweaks, tactics and training. What’s your board and fan expectations?

Former U20’s manager of Ivory Coast draws Ivory Coast in AfCon’s group stage shocker How many defenders do you have left now after the call-ups?!

Are you recruiting for a boy band or a football team? Though Mor is always welcome, plus Andrey Mostovoy looks like that new Chelsea signing

Getting through to the fifth team so quickly is a decent achievement. This save already is challenging without crashes and illness. Taking care of yourself comes first

Sounds good! Though that sounds like two players in the forward position

Onto the 5th team Colchester, starting well Congrats on finishing with Bristol City. Definitely tipsy turvey your time in the Prem was. Excellent work on making the FA Cup final too! I also noticed that 5 teams qualified for the ECL too

Twenty it is! I wondered if your reputation was enough. I guess the board saw enough in you Looks like you’ve got a reasonable base at at Twenty to work with.

Looking forward to seeing who you bring in. I think you’re going to have a good transfer window

It looks like this from reading your breakdown (barring another offer): Twenty, Nacional, Sparta, with Frosinone not an option. Twenty as a better step to Feyenoord. Though it would be an interesting wrinkle going from Sparta to Feyenoord

Fair enough Thanks for the screenshots of Perez and Paulino. Both look promising. A good intake by the looks of things, with increased squad depth looking the outcome too. Crespo goes from strength to strength! I noticed that your GD is positive, which is amazing as well being in the lower half of the table. In fact, no other team below sixth has one. Your AG is about right for the league table, but your FOR Is underperforming. Pretty clear where your strengths and weaknesses are at the moment with Ceuta.

Congrats on promotion I guess you want to move to a port destination as soon as you can to start ticking off achievements

Second best youngster on NXGN is good recognition I see him as a central player, and if he keeps progressing like has, we’ll see this more when he is 20/21.
