Welcome to Loan Watch. Our feeder club is SpVgg Greuther Fürth, gearing up for a second season in the 2.Bundesliga. This will allow me to be able to send my best prospects off for meaningful football for a season. In our sixth season in this venture, we sent out AMRC/ST Stipe Ivanjko, DC/DM/MC Adrian Musiolilk, DRC/MC Jack Donaldson, D/WBL Uwe Karbstein, DLC/DM Matt Holdsworth and M/AMRC Alex Jentzch. We also loaned out Gosslar, Galatas and Krause as overage players. The club ended up finishing 11th in 2.Bundeslia last season, guaranteeing them a spot in the league next season. Alex Jentzsch - An average season for the attacking midfielder, as he played 1,928 minutes of first team football, scoring 2 goals in 33 appearances and assisting twice. An Avg Rating of 6.81 does bode well, but he has competition. Adrian Musiolilk - Playing mainly as a central defender, Musiolilk racked up 2,970 minutes of first team football for the club, scoring four times and assisting once. His Avg Rating of 6.77 is also a decent marker of a spell there. Jack Donaldson - The defencer appeared for 2,953 minutes this season, scoring twice and assisting twice for an Avg Rating of 7.03, which lead the loanees Uwe Karbstein - A decent loan spell of 2,377 minutes this season for the young left back. He scored and assisted once, however his Avg Rating of 6.80 was enough to get a look in the offseason. Matt Holdsworth - An acceptable loan spell for the young defender and his 1,616 minutes of first team football, assisting 1 times in 23 appearances for an Avg Rating of 6.83, which was average. Stipe Ivanjko - The striker had a phenominal first season, as he played 2,928 mins this season, scoring 16 times and assisting 2 times in 33 games. With his Avg Rating of 6.95, It's a very good season for him

So, we had some decent attendences at the pre-World Cup training camps. Sadly, the only cut was Oleg Bagaev from the German squad. So, eventually, we had 10 players representing their countries at the 2048 UEFA European Championships in Belgium & the Netherlands How did they get on? Let's find out! Albania - Out, Second Round Dejvi Hoxha's journey with Albania to the Second Round, started out with a good 2-2 draw with Germany, as he scored the equaliser. He also completed 90 mins as his team were taken apart by Croatia, losing 2-5. They then made it through the Group Stage with a 2-1 win over the Czech Republic with Hoxha playing every minute of the Group Stage. Hoxha then played a good game against Belgium as they lost 0-1. Croatia - Out, Second Round Stipe Ivanjko's meteroic rise saw him make the final 26 at the Euros. And his debut came in the 67th minute of the opening 2-1 win over the Czech Republic. However, he didn't take the field against Albania or in the final group stage 0-1 loss against Germany. He then made a cameo appearance in the 0-1 loss to Portugal which put them out in the Second Round Germany - Out, Second Round Another poor tournament for the home nation. Tim Brodwolf was subbed in the 50th minute of the 2-2 draw with Albania, while Vincenzo Incardona didn't make it on the pitch. In the 5-0 win over Czech Republic, the reverse happened as Incardona was subbed in the 57th minute after netting a 38th minute penalty, while Brodwolf didn't make it on the pitch. The final group stage match saw both players on the bench to start, with Brodwolf coming on in the 70th minute of the 1-0 win over Croatia. Brodwolf was again subbed on in the 80th minute in the 0-2 Second Round defeat to Norway, whilst Incardona didn't make it onto the pitch in the end. Poland - Out, Second Round Our biggest contingent at this Euros was with Poland, as goalie Maciej Janowski and defenders Mateusz Łuszkiewicz & Adrian Musiolilk were on duty, as Poland took a hammering in the opening match, 0-3 against Italy, with all three players being on the pitch in the end, with Musolilk coming on in the 87th minute, with the other two being on the pitch from the beginning. In the second match, Poland thumped a below-par Scotland 3-0, with the ever-present Janowski in goal and Łuszkiewicz subbed in the 87th minute. Their final group match saw them lose 0-1 to France with just Janowski in goal for the 90 mins. The win put them into the Second Round where they faced Spain. And all three players were on the pitch as they lost in extra time, 0-1, with Musolilk missing a 100th minute penalty. Romania - Out, Group Stage Marius Tomas' Romania flamed out in the Group Stage this tournament, with Tomas tearing his hamstring in the opening match defeat to England. Further defeats to Spain and Denmark saw them crash out. Turkey - Out, Quarter Final Okay Cakir and Fatih Sarigul's Turkey started the tournament off badly, losing 0-1 to hosts Belgium, with Cakir playing all 90 mins and Sarigul subbed in the 74th minute. Sarigul was subbed on in the 76th minute in the 4-0 win over Sweden in the second game, with Cakir again playing all 90 mins. Both players played all 90 mins in the final group game, which was a 4-1 win over Cyprus. Both players also popped up with a goal in this match, with Sarigul getting POTM too. Okay Cakir played all 90 minutes in the Second Round 1-0 win over the Netherlands with Sarigul not coming off the bench. Finally, Turkey's run came to an end in the Quarter Final, with France dismantling them 1-3. Both Cakir and Sarigul started the game, but were subbed in the 54th and 60th minutes respectively.

Excellent. Hopefully, the Carpathian Messi will out strip this soon.

DfB Pokal Semi Final 22 April 2048 Allianz Arena 20:30 FC Bayern Munchen 0-1 FC Energie Cottbus ....................................................................Hoxha 85

This is next season's lineup without moves. Let's look through to see when/where there are issues. GK - We've got ourselves set for at least the next two seasons. Then it's who will make way for Novak DR - Dreher's re-signing puts him second, ahead of Luszkiwicz who is reaching the point where we'll either sell, or relegate him to the II side DCR - Brodwolf is king. Donaldson makes it into the rotation, but I could put him into the backup role easily DCL - We're sticking with the first two, but Holdsworth makes it into the rotation with his fellow Englishman Donaldson DL - Aydin has the star rating, but Egberts is still my #1, with Aydin as backup, Karbstein will come back into the third slot, with hopefully some youth coming into play. DMCR - Cakir is still first choice, but he's 30 years old and Morina is coming up on rails. Zorn is de-facto third choice, but there is hopefully some talent coming up DMCL - Mohr is still first choice, despite being 35. Grgic is the backup, but not not long term as Kroos is the natural successor. ML - The Bagman always delivers and Borg is a very decent backup. Krause is a clear third choice. AMR - The Carpathian Messi is the best player in the league in my opinion. Gashi is a good young backup and Peters is the third choice AMC - Hoxha is insane, why on Earth dd Schalke not want him? Mehmeti hasnt proved himself 100%, so it's a catfight between him and Jentszch. ST - Sarigul is the clear #1 and it's whoever is wanted more by other clubs in second, as we're getting a logjam

Well, this intake was rated GOOD by our HOYD. Yet another goalie to add to the logjam and there is a spine here. Let's look at the top 3 prospects. GK Arkadiusz Novak - Concentration: 14, Pace 13, Handling 14 - DNA: PASSED This good at 15, there's no way I can keep him down for long. Think I'm gonna suffer soon, with even more logjam than usual. D/WBR Liridon Pilana - Work Rate: 15, Pace 11, Technique 14 - DNA: PASSED We've got a decent pipeline at right back now. Which is looking good for us. M/AML Timo Holz - Work Rate: 16, Pace 15, Technique 13 - DNA: PASSED Another decent ML coming into the fold, he could be excellent, but needs more seasoning. How Local Is Your Intake? This revived segment is to find out any players from Cottbus or a 10-mile surround and keep an eye on them to see if we can get a true homegrown superstar! 1. Simon Pohl Simon is from Cottbus, but probably not going to make it to first team level 2. Aldrich Nsiala Another Cottbus local, with probably the same chance of making the first team.

The Stats Bundesliga Table Results to date Full Stats Shooting Tackling Passing Possession Defending The Eye Test We've tried to go for the UEFA Champions League again, once again using the backups in the league. We're qualified for the Playoff Round and we're in with a good chance at retaining our Bundesliga crown as we were third. We're still in the DfB Pokal, but we've played poorly in every match so far. Fatih Sarigul once again tops our goalscoring charts so far, with 10 goals and, the Captain, Marius Tomas tops the assist charts with 7. The Transfers OUT AM/ST Leon Gottschalt-Gottau (£4.6m, Fortuna Dusseldorf 95) DC/DM/MC Daniel Flauder (£250k, TSV 1860 Munich) M/AML/ST Rudiger Deichs (£58m, FC Barcelona) GK Clemens Rask (£5m, AC Milan) AMRC Florian Wenzel (£35m, VfB Stuttgart) Cleaning house! We got rid of a number of perfectly competent players, because they were throttling the youth behind them.

Our third-ever winner. Which is pretty awesome. Hoxha was the guy who Schalke 04 had no place for. Insane.

Defensive reinforcements incoming! We need them!

Surely he'll be #1 soon??

So close to #1...

The Brief Our third season as defending 1.Bundesliga champions and the board brief was to Finish in the Champions League Qualification Spots again this season in the league, building on our stunning season last season. In the DfB Pokal, the board want us to make the Semi Finals. Finally, the board want us to make the Group Stage of the UEFA Champions League, despite actually winning the whole thing last season. Our budgets were £6.5m in the wages and £303m transfer budget. The Results Not the best start for us this season. We battered Hertha, but lost, squeaked past Dortmund and ended up getting held by St. Pauli after battering them. The Transfers OUT GK Fabian Demmig (£60m, FC Barcelona) Well, it was a very big departure as we had such a logjam at the position. Selling a German international is a big thing though. It does free up some pathway to the first team however
