  1. Brora Rangers – Season 8 (2031/32)

    Championship Wildly inconsistent but overall much better than last season, we won enough games to steer clear of trouble and even qualified for the playoffs, losing to Livingston in the 1st round.

    Players I was greatly helped by the emergence of our first half-decent defender Josh Wallace 05h (DC), and then there’s the usual pletora of star strikers who get us winning the games but are moaning to leave all the time, with the latest addition Tom Thomas 07a (AML/ST) who was instrumental in our late-season unexpected push for playoffs.

    Youth intake (preview) Very good as usual. The top prospect is a striker as usual. But this time we got a couple of defenders, hope they can develop!

    Facilities/Finances Still losing tons of money, board have cut the wage budget to a measly £5k p/w but we’re still ok overall.

    No transfers in, and no major outs either.

    Congrats @libbyshuss - fantastic! Looks like that save might be quite fun to take on if he's pumped in that amount of money - bloody hell!

    @dkouv The youth set-up costs is exactly what happened to me, so I've been eagerly waiting for you to get promoted to the Championship! There's clearly something between the Championship and League 1 that isn't registered somewhere but I genuinely couldn't find it. I didn't exactly intentionally go back down to League 1, but I didn't complain as it saved me a bunch of money and let my prospects get a bit better.

    Good to know, I've downgraded the coaching & recruitment but costs are still £100k a month, think I'll just stick with it and see what happens, relegation is a real possibility but it looks like I'll just about survive this season.

  3. Brora Rangers – Season 1 (2024/25)

    I’m trying out Scotland this year, with Brora Rangers, situated near the Highlands and Loch Ness providing a suitably mysterious setting for the adventure.

    League two The squad was actually decent for this level, and we built up a solid lead at the top of the table in the first half of the season. The second half was much more dodgy, but a key win away against 3rd-placed Dumbarton (with 2 injury-time goals from us) boosted our promotion chances, and we got the promotion to League one on the last day.

    spacer.pngspacer.png

    Players: Our attackers are really good, with Andrew Macrae (ST), rated as leading League One player, the star of the show with 32 goals in 38 games this season. The less said about the defence the better, I’m hoping the coming intakes give us a boost in that area.

    spacer.png

    Youth intake (preview): A decent first intake with one standout player Englishman Charlie Bimson 01a (AMR), but there is a distinct lack of defensive talent which is what I need most.

    spacer.png spacer.png

    Facilities (season start vs season end): Were terrible to start with, but we had enough money to upgrade youth facilities, and upgrade coaching & recruitment a few times, so we’re getting there.

    By the way, I don’t have an U19 team - does anyone know if it’s a bug?

    Transfers: let some oldies go at the end of the season

  4. Operário dos Açores – Season 18 (2040/41)

    Primeira Liga I made the mistake of prioritising CL games a bit too much and it was looking like we won’t qualify for the CL next season, but we dramatically managed to overtake Portimonese on the last day and finish 4th, scraping through to next year’s competition. I hope I can make it a bit more drama-free next year.

    spacer.png

    Champions League Another really strong showing, finishing 10th in the group stage and beating Burnley (yes, Burnley) in the first KO round. But then we made a mistake playing too attacking against Real Sociedad, I guess I underestimated them, turns out they have a really strong team who won the competition a few years ago, and they absolutely hammered us in the last 16.

    spacer.png spacer.png

    Domestic cups We manage to win the Taça de Portugal thanks to some favourable draws and a dramatic extra time win over Benfica in the quarters

    spacer.png spacer.png

    Players The new generation is starting to come through, looks like we’ve got very talented fullbacks and an AMC, all from the stellar 16th intake. Saido Djaquité 16a (DR/AMR) is the pick of the bunch, but playing him at DR has created us a few defensive problems this season.

    spacer.png spacer.png

    Youth intake (preview) Worse than the last few years, but it looks like we got one good talent in João Rodrigues 18a (DMC), a position where I could use some cover.

    spacer.png spacer.png

    Facilities/finances Surprisingly the board allowed us to upgrade our youth facilities again so they’re now at Superb and everything else is maxed out. Finances wise, we’re swimming in cash thanks to the CL.

    Transfers nothing of note.
