  1. Çankaya FK 2028/2029 Season Review

    Fixtures prt 1  | Fixtures prt 2

    Same points as last season and one place lower, yet a much more comfortable league campaign. We had a better start to the season and kept enough form to stay well clear off the drop zone. There is a significant gap in quality between us and even midtable teams. there was a stretch of ten games in the middle of the season I knew we would be lucky to get draws. Indeed we managed 1 draw and 9 losses. We were truly powerless in those games. Th grind to the top is going to take a while I'm afraid.

     

    In the cup we went out against second tier Gaziantep FK Who we'll see again next year in the Super Lig.

     

    Squad

    Best player of the year: Onur Küçük 

    The GK has been a part of the team since the beginning and this is his time in the limelight. The fact our GK has the highest rating in the team while we had 23 losses says a lot about the quality of the team I think. I dread the moment he either retires or declines. No prospect comes close yet to him. I'm can confidently say without Onur we would have been relegated easily.

    Top scorer: Talha Aydemir

    back as topscorer for us. A massive 6 goals for the campaign. He missed some time due to injury. When He was fit he was reliable though. He lacked consistent players around him.

    Young player of the season: Saim Taşlı 27e

    The young winger had a breakout year and developed well.

    Good potentials but unfortunately my best prospects are both unambitious.

    Best of the lot is Yamaç Şahin 29a

    image.png.f5560574d2e34702ce7f20af90c13eb7.png

     

    I just need you to develop some quickness Yamaç. That is all I ask. maybe some composure..

     

    Board

    Finances | Transfers

    We sold our first player for big money. Bartu Büyükgök 26b left for Porto for 1.5M. He was definitely worth more, But that was the release clause.

    It did mean we ended the season with a slight profit. Youth costs have been high this season. more than half our expanses this season have been for the youth setup. This means that for the first time this save I have not asked for improvements in youth recruitment and coaching. I did ask for better training and youth facilities but the board would still not fund it.

    I did complete my Pro License Badge

    Next Season

    Hopefully we can improve a little bit. But the comparison screen and the prediction are not giving me much confidence.

    Well,, We survived.

    We didn't win until november and were in the relegation zone for 32 matchdays. Luckily there were 4 other bad teams around us. The win against Hatayspor on the penultimate matchday saw us leave the relegation zone for the first time. With an away match against Beşiktaş we knew that our fate was not in our own hands. Luckily results went in our favor and we stay in the top flight for atleast another season.

     

    Cup

     

    image.png.58ac946b9edb7f6a43c4e27f49ed9451.png

    No cup magic this year either. 

    Squad

    Best player of the season: Emirhan Korkmaz.

    for the second year in a row he won it. A bit less quality if I'm honest, but he remains the backbone of our midfield. 

    Topscorer: Oğuzhan Erdoğan

    the other half of our midfield. The fact that he scored 6 of his 10 goals in the last 8 matches, together with the fact that the topscorer of last year only managed 1 goal all season tells our seasons story quite well. 

    Youth player of the season: Bartu Büyükgök 26b

    Once again it is Bartu Büyükgök 26b. He scored 10 goals this year, sharing the topscorer title with Oğuzhan Erdoğan. He started the year as our 3th striker and will go into next season as our number 1

    Youth intake

    image.thumb.png.5daeb7f2f417d63e5b23320f54cdcf94.png

     

    Some great potential combined with some good personalities. This intake has a chance to lift us to a new level once they've matured a bit.

     

    Board

    Transfers | Finances

    the finances are in a fine spot. we are not making a lot of profit but that will come once we start winning more matches in the league. No significant transfers yet that can fund some facilities. And I'm afraid it is going to take a sale before the board will approve some improvements in either training or youth facilities.

    We did get more funding for our Junior coaching again. As well as another coaching Badge for me.

     

    Next year

    The way this season went makes me worried for next year, we were not good and while the future looks good I don't expect my youth players to carry my team just yet. We just need to survive a few seasons.

  3. 9 hours ago, aldojags said:

    I'm just going to sound like a whiney bad loser, but is anyone else having a nightmare with injuries?

     

    THis is 2nd save attempt in a row, I had my croatian save which i started amazingly, top of the league before the winter break, and came back to a first teamer being out for 2 months every game, despite resting them etc etc. I've got physios and all that!

     

    Now im in Poland, same thing, i started amazingly, top of the league at the split, but like Croatia, save is being completely destroyed by losing usually my inform player for 2 months every few games, injuries have been a joke

     

    Plus the common thing both saves have in common is I am WAY UNDER wage budget, but have lost best part of a million pounds in a year and I'm guessing unless I win promotion, i'm going part time, and the save is being **** canned for another year!

     

    can u tell im in a good mood :D

     

     

    I also had alot off injuries in my first seasons. Part of the reason I blame my failed portugal save on :D. First season in Turkey I also had alot. But my current season it is less.

    I changed the training intensity to:

    lowest fitness: no pitch or gym

    middle three fitness levels: half intensity

    Full fitness: double intensity.

     

    So ar so good with injuries. I don't think it lessens the development of my players. But maybe it is too early to tell. I do make sure that my young players don't play a full match per week so they stay in the double intensity for longer.

    For next season I will test out if putting my older first team regulars on half intensity for the entire year works. They can't really improve and I just need them to maintain and perform.

    I should also say that my training schedules are fairly intense on their own.

  4. After the last meeting with the board I knew it would be very difficult to turn the tie. 

    It wasn't to be. one match and another loss later and i was done.

    finalmatch.PNG.deebb29fd636f5d329e423c66610ff84.PNG

     

    This was the match that put the final nail in my coffin.

    To paint the picture, they were first in the league with 11 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. We were last with 8 points total.

    When we went up 0-1 against them I dared to hope. Would this be the turning point of the season.

    When we went up 0-2 I could not believe my eyes. I was FMíng my way to a miraculous revival of our season.

     

    and then they remembered they were good. Soon they realised we were not and in ten minutes time my dreams where shattered.

    and that was all she wrote.

     

    Onwards to the next adventure!

    15table.thumb.PNG.25cf9ae959f776d4450884a27b16deb0.PNG

     

    We survived.

    Most of the year was dismal. we started with just one win in the first 15 games. wich was fun... There was a clear pack of 5 relegation candidates that stayed close for most of the season and we were in the bottom 3 for most of it. 7 points in our last three games, including two wins against fellow relegation battlers, makes the final table look a lot more comfortable than it was.

    To put our performance into perspective. the last time we were in Liga 2 we were relegated with the same point total as we got this season, 31. In fact, in none of the seasons played so far would 31 points have been enough to avoid relegation playoffs. 

     

    The Cups

    15cups.PNG.e67f58ab61c4ffd42cd2be18ea733f54.PNG

     

    Nacional from Liga NOS was to much for us in the Allianz cup. While Santa Clara (also from Liga Nos) got the better of us in the Taca de Portugal. The second time we got to sixth round in my tenure and another respectable showing in the cups.

     

    Youth Intake 

     

    15YI.thumb.PNG.4f7d88e41f771f9724f621f235bdf04d.PNG

    a good Intake with a nice combination of PA and Personalities this time.

    As I'm typing this Yuriy Borshch 3301 is at the UEFA U-19 Championship for Ukraine. I have high hopes for him.

     

    The squad

    Not much to say in such a dismal season. Our top performer and topscorer was Diogo Cardoso 3002 But it was anything but a good season for even him.

     

    Wilson Evora 2401 did become the first YI player to claim the most appearances for Louletano.

    15evorarecord.PNG.d3cb029bcb6701b52633756de4793591.PNG

    The legend becomes less and less relevant for us with more players breaking through. But he still has a place with us. Together with Pedro Serras 2404 that makes two players from the first intake that are still with us 10 years into the save.

     

    Off the field

    Investments from the board into the club have stopped and our debt has skyrocketed. Things don't look great.

    I did manage to get my Continental A Licence.

    Back to winning ways! and how.

    We were the team to beat in our division all year long. Olhanense kept up with us for a good while but fell off eventually. 

    In the promotion stage it felt like it was fatigue manager more than anything. I don't think we go unbeaten like we did if there was a full week between matches. We secured promotion back to liga 3! comming in first gave us a chance to fight for the cherry on top that is a league title. 

    Tourizense awaited us in the final where we waltzed right over them. Just like in our inaugral season we are champions of the campeonato de portugal.

    I really like this division. It has nice short seasons with a climatic ending. But I hope I never see it again this save.

     

    13cups.PNG.8d5261b8440b685dcdd78d6f1693c592.PNG

     

    The cup was uneventfull this time. We beat Sp. Ideal from our own league and then got beaten by Lusitania Lourosa from Liga Nos. No upsets this time.

     

    13squad.PNG.5b352cec17454f641c80590f5aa25192.PNG

    We had some great performances this year from the front line. Wilson Evora 2401 absolutely went off with 21 goals and Pedro Serras continued his amazing form from last year into this season. But the star of the season was Gelson Neves. The 19 year old set records for assists and highest avg match ratings as well as scoring 20 goals.

    13YI.thumb.PNG.79ea591cf6222a9a1f3d63e6eea97172.PNG

    The youth intake was decent this year. There is a good amount of potential though I'd wish for some better personalities for the top prospects.

    The League

    12table.PNG.cb1c455d8855b0ed9ee003f7ef465918.PNG

    We improved significantly compared to last year. We were unbeaten for a good time before losing several in a row. We recovered and finished the year strong. 4th is a good improvement on last years 6th position. Especially if you keep in mind that we had more points than last years second place. We were just unfortunate that the three teams above us all had amazing seasons.

    The cup

    12cup.PNG.e7c9b0087b0d635f1fb9eaf086b16c7a.PNG

    What a run! We reached the sixth round (QF) for the first time, playing some amazing football. We entered in the second round where we won narrowly from same division opposition. In round three we countered our way to an upset against Liga 2 site Chaves. We absolutely demolished them. I thought that was the end of the run as we were matched with a team from Liga Nos. But no, not only did we win against appropriately named SAD  but also against Arouca, though we needed penalties against SAD.
    Sporting CP waited for us in the QF. In the first half they showed us how an actual football team could play. They scored twice in the first ten minutes and had several opportunities for more. We were fortunate to go into the break with only two goals against. 
    They came out very complacent in the second half and we nearly capitalized. One goal early in the half was all we could manage. There were several good chances for an equalizer but it was not to be.

    A great run with a nice little payday at the end.

    Youth Intake

    Its been a few seasons since I did a full intake report so here it goes.

    Tiago Herculano 3001 seems to have a lot of potential So I gave him the last three games of the season. and though we faced two of the top three, he played well. I inted to give him the opportunity next season to fight for the spot next to Espandinha next year.

    The overall quality of this intake is better than in the two years previous, Although attribute wise the best player of this year is the worst I’ve had so far. (not that pure attribute numbers necessarily translate to a quality player)

    Squad

    12squad.PNG.8270ed7493f598af3092614ad55aa14b.PNG

    top performer and top goalsscorer:

    Pedro Serras 2404 led the team with15 goals in 27 games, while also assisting 7.
    This was his breakout year where he found consistency in his performance. He was instrumental for us this season.

    Notable performers:

    Wilson Evora 2401. As with Serras, this season was a breakout year for him as we relied on him too. He was especially good in the cup where he scored 5 goals in 5 matches

    Both players are the first in this save to have more than 10 goals in a season

    Nuno Espadinha 2613 was great in defense this year and claimed the first choice CB role in the team. He's still lacking in some areas but there is still room to grow.

    Gelson Neves 2808: He started as a bench piece that would get his experience late on games and ended up as my first choice AML.
    His progression graph is beautiful. He’s become quite the player. If only his physicals could improve a bit more.

    Off the field

    Each year the same story. Finances bad, no facility upgrade. You know the drill. 
    I did however worked my way up to a Continental B license.

    Our Junior coaching is back to adequate. Not sure what is going on there. 

    We also had an election. The new chairperson did not come with a bag of money unfortunately. He did however terminate the link with Porto, my senior affiliate. So that’s a yearly 110K we miss now. Good move, Sir. Good move.

    Next Season

    I hope we can build on this season and get back to liga 3. Or at least reach the playoffs. I will introduce more youngsters into the squad. Hopefully that won’t affect my teams consistency to much.

    A frustrating season. Again. After two relegations I was determined to get back up to the 3 liga and for most of the season we played like it.

    Then FM did its thing.

    We went 9 games without a win to close out the season, losing the playoff spot and even dropping to 6th.

     

    The Cup

     

    11Cup.PNG.0a55053d414ba28c22a62f5261530edd.PNG

    A great match that we lost on pens.

    Off the field

    The finances appear to be in a much better shape. However we ride a season where the board injected more than a million into the club. 

    Somehow our junior coaching is rated exceptional suddenly. I haven't seen any messages about it, so not sure how that happened. The board surely did not aprove it. they've rejected every request once again this year. (though I shouldn't complain to much since they invested a million into the club)

     

    This save is getting more frustrating each season. players don't improve. the squad gets worse every year and there isn't any money to be found anywhere in the bottom 3 tiers. I know, I've checked. 

    Still, I'm determined to see it through. As long as the team wants me I'll struggle on.

  10. After relegating last season I'm now bottom of the table again. And I don't see things improving quickly. Players aren't developing anymore. and the finances remain bad.

    This has been one of the weirdest saves I've done in a while. 

     

    I'm not giving up, yet. But I am putting the save on hold and try a different one for a while. Maybe youth only, we'll see.

    We were not good enough all season. Despite that we were in the mix for safety up to the last game. It was just not to be.

    No facilities upgrade again this year due to the finances. liga 2 money helped a lot with the balance. However mostly it resulted in the owner having to invest less. I have seen nothing off that money.

    They did however finally agreed to let me get another coaching badge.

    How we did it

    We never had the dominance we had in our first season at this level. Teams seemed to have adapted to our playstyle and we had difficulty adjusting to that. We started the league decently but never solidified a spot on top. A bad run of form near the end of the regular season almost saw us drop out of the promotion league spots. A tough win against Torreense saw us through.

    In the promotion stage we honestly did not deserve our succes. we were outplayed in 4 of the 6 games. Somehow we went unbeaten with two wins, giving us the top spot and promotion to Liga 2. A championship match against Lusitania lourosa was the cherry on top of this amazing season. It was a tight affair, neither creating much. in the end we snuck a 1-0 win past them. Champions!! for the second time in 3 years.

    The cup

    Our first decent cup run. A couple of good wins saw us reach the fourth round for the first time. There we embarrassed ourselves against lower league opposition.

     

    The Squad

    Still mostly legacy players. However, Wilson Evora 2401 and Steffen Bohnsack 2402 made minutes in the first team. Steffen has the honour to have scored the first goal by  academy player. It promptly got awarded (unjustly) with the goal of the season award.

    Cavadas was once again the best player of the season, while Sander got top goalscorer again.

    next year will be more academy players i hope. People are developing but not yet good enough for the first team.

     

    Off the field

    Finances are worse still. Hopefully Liga 2 brings in more money for us. No upgrades are approved, nor coaching badges. And while our facilities started as good, if we want to progress we need more. 

    Our average attendance dropped slightly this year. Not sure why. 

    Next season

    I am very curious how our team will do against this level of teams. We will have a more 'normal' season with 34 games and no second stage. So hopefully we can get into a groove and surprise yet another league.
