A big shock of the year goes to Young Boys who only went and won the Europa League becoming the first Swiss club of the save to win any silverware.
Their 5-0 annihilation of Arsenal in semi-finals probably the high point of the run. Zenit also made semifinals whilst FC Basel reached round16 in what was an upset year.

Great job in the league, really pushing for the title and hopefully European campaign kicks on

that's some party mode start to the season, cracking results

Spring 2028
We have already won the Liechtensteiner Cup but it was the league where we had been overachieving all the way in P4. Sadly, the form didn't last as we lost 5 straight and narrowly missed out on a few tens of thousand euros in prize money.
This also dropped us to P6, an astonishing debut result but now that leaves us in a funny situation where staying professional in this league is going to kill our finances unless we qualify for a group stage in Europe.

Got to love a GK scoring any goal, but especially so a free-kick in a Final.
I think I had a GK scoring in every final we won
Pretty crazy considering they end up on 3-4 goals a season.

Liechtenstein Cup 27/28
Our main team had no trouble making the finals but it was the second team of older rejects that sprang a surprise. They reached a semifinal where they held out against Eschen/Mauren and then stole the game on penalties.
So, for the first time this save we have an all-Schaan final. Our second team is ineligible for Europa League, so we got the European money for one more season.
The final itself was a bit tenser than I would have liked but we prevailed with keeper scoring the final goal via a long range freekick. Shoutout @Jimbokav1971 yet another finals goal from my keeper. They seem to enjoy those big games up in Liechtenstein.

March 2028 international break
We have a couple friendlies on our hands, so it's a good time to blood in a few youngsters and build up our coefficient.
We did just that, with Uzbekistan victory a particularly sweet one as they're a decent team and we were never in trouble. In addition, I gave debuts to a number of players, including the centreback from the last intake. He's already a top5 player in his position for the country and he can only improve.

cracking job so far, good luck in europe!

This might be an old idea but has anyone done a journeyman challenge but where you are confined to a single city? Start unemployed and work your way up the ladder of clubs in London, for instance. The No-Journey challenge.
I've seen a couple threads in career forum but cannot find them off the top of my head.

It's probably the best chance we had to make a tournament as we'll be Pot C of the Nations League next time and unlikely to qualify through that or a group stage qualifying session.
shame about that result.
If you relegate from C level of Nations League, winning D level the next time will put you into qualifiers again

2028 January-February
It's an extremely busy period in Switzerland as we end up playing twice a week for almost a month after a winter break. Luckily, the preparation I gave the lads paid off as we collected 5 wins and if it's wasn't for a collapse in the last game, it should have really been 6.
This leaves us comfortably in upper table as we have mathematically secured another season in the league. Chiasso is starting to show some signs of recovery including winning over us. Let's hope they don't end up recovering though for Eschen/Mauren's sake.

Youth intake 2028
I have put all my chips into the youth development at the cost of financially ruining this club in a couple seasons time, so it was paramount we had a good intake.
Well, this is more than good, this is a godlike intake for us.
All these four standouts will be starting for us the rest of the season and they are sensational. I will be probably calling up some of them, so they cannot commit to Switzerland later on.

I feel like I've done that to CPU so many times recently. You sit back, soak the pressure, get your keeper overpowered and then score a random set-piece. 1-0 and Jose smiling in his dream.

yeah, my only worry is finances. I would be surprised if there was enough money to have a pro team in Latvia without playing in Europe

World Cup 2030 Qualification draw
We got a hell of a draw for the upcoming World Cup as shown below, with Portugal the only missing team in group 10.
We must beat Andorra in the battle of the minnows but I doubt we'll get any more points since Georgia is having a golden generation of 20-23 year old regens that we simply cannot compete with. Scotland is still very strong and both Switzerland and Belgium can easily make WC quarterfinals on their day.

not too early for that?

October-December 2027
We suddenly found some form outta nowhere, it's almost like kids improve given gametime! Also, my defence has gotten really quite solid which is surprising as there hasn't been any real skill improvement there. our possession stats are attrocious - 45% avg but we keep getting results on the counter.
Myself, it's been a while since I done any badge, so a good time to get some done as this season is all about getting as much money in the coffers before we go super broke.
All in all a very very good start to the season. We're handily mid-table, 15 points clear of the drop already and pretty much having secured the professional status for another year. My attention will be turning to youth intake next. I have very high hopes but the big question is can the intake play the tail end of the season or will registration stop before the intake comes through?

Surprise Liechtensteiner update
I was prepping for the league match when I noticed chatter about Liechtenstein manager being in danger of being sacked.
Honestly, that's a fairly decent run, especially considering the opponents and getting 5 points in this group is very very good. Still, Mario Frick has been fired and I've been installed as his successor.
Whilst the team's ranking has gone through the roof recently, we're definitely not a very good team as our competition record is pretty awful.
This was the first time we did not finish last in any competitive group since the save started.
The team itself, here's the best players in each position:
Our GK is pretty good in the air but other than that a not particularly impressive specimen. My own two keepers will hopefully keep developing and snatch his crown in a couple years time.
Philip is by far our best centreback which tell you just how awful this national team is at the moment. He's young so unless we start pumping out great players, CB position is his for the next 10-12 years.
Noah is a nice breath of fresh air, excellent technical midfielder who can do some heavy lifting, I'll be using him a lot and I hope to build my next two-three cycles around him.
Frick is a current superstar though, well balanced striker with great mentals, one of the old guard players who played most of this save in top2 divisions in Switzerland and has become irreplaceable for the national team too. There are a couple kids vying for his place, but Yanik is too good to be dropped for the next two years at the very least.

Absolutely legendary player, no idea why he was used so sparingly by the National team

2027 August-September
We have 36 league matches this season, so splitting the season into quarters kinda made sense to me.
Pre-season ended well with season tickets up almost 25% with barely 27 seats not sold for a year. 2700 further standing spaces should provide extra support if needed.
In fact we will need all the support we can get as we sold our best player barely a game into the season as he requested a transfer. Goodbye sweet prince, enjoy top division.
First two games of the season came right after European games, so I ended up fielding backups who somehow managed to snatch a point at Aarau. When we got 3 more vs Biel-Bienne I thought we could reach mid-table but we quickly came back down to earth as our lack of fitness got exposed and we kept conceding multiple second half goals.
Still, p8, 6 clear of relegation zone already after nine games. I reckon we can survive, just need to make sure we pick points against Biel-Bienna and Chiasso every time.
