Çankaya FK 2028/2029 Season Review On the field 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. Youth intake Good potentials but unfortunately my best prospects are both unambitious. Best of the lot is Yamaç Şahin 29a 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.

Çankaya FK 2027/2028 Season review On the field Fixtures prt 1 | Fixtures prt 2 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 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 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.

Çankaya FK season review 2026-2027 Finances | Transfers | Fixtures 1 | Fixtures 2 On the field We survived! We started off slow but as we settled into the new division we got some results. We were never great but good enough to secure safety with 3 games to go. The defense is still bad. As in the first 2 seasons our attackers carried us. The cup First actual cup run. some decent wins untill Galatasaray kindly kicked us out of the cup. Squad Best player: Emirhan Korkmaz The midfielder gets some recognition after three good seasons. He scored 7 while assisting another 6. He was consistently good the entire season. Topscorer: Malik Karaahmet 9 goals this year was enough this season, which is 10 goals less than he got the year before. Young player of the season: Bartu Büyükgök 26b An actual deserving winner this year. the striker got 4 goals in 16 games. which isn't great but decent enough for a backup. He also has the honor now of being the most capped player with a tag. Youth Intake Decent intake with some good potential. not many good personalities but I'll take the talent. Board Top divison money did our finances good. unfortunately we started with a deficit off a million so the board did not want to invest in the facilities just yet. However they did aprove increase in funding for both Junior coaching and Youth recruitment. Meanwhile I got my Continental B and am now working on my Continental A License. Next season Next season I will introduce much more youth players into the first team squad. mostly as bench players still. Most of the first team that got us here is still here.

Çankaya FK 2025/2026 Season Review On the Field League Fixtures Aug - Dec | Fixtures Jan - May We did it! promoted as champion for the second year in a row. We started a bit unsure of ourselves with 3 draws in our first 5 games. But no losses. We settled in nicely at the top but never to comfortable as there was always a random draw to keep the rest of the pack close. A running theme of the season was that our defense was very easy to score against. But our offense would more often than not outscore the teams. With two games to go we secured direct promotion. The championship was decided on the last day where we had to match the result of Sivasspor to be crowned champion. we won our game while they drew. Super Lig, here we come Cup Only one game this year. but what a game it was. shame we had to lose but it wasn't to be against top division opposition. Squad Awards Best player: Adnan Emir Koldere The full back was great all year long. Solid in defense while also chipping in with 13 assists and 4 goals. His goals also had a way to come in clutch moments. Topscorer: Talha Aydemir 20 goals For the second time he takes the title, though he had more competition this year as the next closest had 19 goals. Young player of the season: Tunahan Bardakcı He wins it by default, being the only player under 20 to make significant minutes in the first team. Youth Intake Berat Bingöl 26a | Bartu Büyükgök 26b | Cem Işık 26c Much better this year, though I'm not thrilled with most personalities. Bartu Büyükgök 26b made his debut on the last day of the season, being the first tagged player to appear in a match for me this save. Board Finances | Transfers The finances are not great but improving. our income went way up. However our wage costs grew more. Hopefully super lig money will see us in the black next year. The year did not begin great when we were informed that the training facilities had been down graded. no amount of begging during the season could convince the board to invest in the training grounds. They did however improve the junior coaching. not once, but twice. They also approved better youth recruitment. Meanwhile I got my National B, National A and Continental C coaching badges. Next season The pundits don't rate us highly and I fear they might be right. our 4th tier defense is getting even worse as players are leaving on frees and I have no one (yet) to step up.

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.

this might be one of the best matches I've seen when playing FM. unfortunately we lost.. But it was a valiant effort against higher division opposition

Çankaya FK 2024/2025 Season review Fixtures part 1 | Fixtures part 2 | Transfers On the field Champions!!! We are going up. We were great the entire season. Bursaspor at first and then Bucaspor kept pace with us for a good chunck of the season. Eventually they fell off and we didn't. We set several records on our way to our first piece of silverware The cup Nothing special. We had a big victory against lower league opposition and then went out with a big loss against super liga opposition. Both somehow called Konyaspor. The Squad For most of the season I've been playing morale manager 24. and doing it badly. I managed to **** off half the squad with the first tweam meeting and the other half subsequently while trying to fix ****. Only after we had mathematically secured the playoffs (the boards objective) did they fall inline. Topscorer: Talha Aydemir He led the team to the title with 22 goals. At no point was he the best player on the field. However without him the better players around him could not shine. Best Player (highest avg): Metin Sevinç 15 goals and 11 assists for a total rating of 7.3. He had some injury issues eaarly on but when he found his groove he was amazing for us. Unfortunately he refuses to extend his contract. Next year will be difficult without him. Young player of the season:..... no one. No players under 20 had even a minor role during the season Youth Intake Well...that's less than ideal.. I supose I've gotten spoiled by the intakes in portugal. I've not taken any screeshots of the players attribute players. I don't think they'll be around long. Board Our finances are hilariously bad but in an okay state because the board provided some cash injections. A whopping 374 average attendance in our 18K stadium is not great either. They improved both youth recruitment and junior coaching As well as 2 coaching courses for me. I've completed the national C and am working on B Next season There seems to be some parity between this level and the next, so I'm hopefull we can do well. However, several of our best players want to leave. I will be be happy with just avoiding relegation and building on what we have

What exactly do they think I can do about it?

I just try to get rid of them as soon as possible @glennuk

Start of challenge We go again. On to Ankara in Turkey where we take over Çankaya FK They play in the 18.000 seater stadium Osmanlı Stadyumu. For now, that is much to big for them. Hopefully we can fill it up on our way to the top. First goal, best team in Ankara. Next, displace those Istanbul teams. then, Conquer Europe. Manager profile | Transfers

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. 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!

Hey Board, They are second in the table, we are last. We lost 2-3 because of a 25 yard screamer in the 94th minute. What exactly were you expecting from this particular match??

Praiense Season Review 2024/25 On the field Fixtures part 1 | Fixtures part 2 Our first season was overall a succes. We finished a very respectable 6th place. Not once were we in danger of going down. In fact, for a brief moment we thought we could hang on in the promotion battle. However, a typical second half of the season collapse brought us back to earth. Our cup run was over after the first hurdle. the less said the better. The U-19 They got promoted to the 1st division. A strong regular season followed by a good playoffs run. Squad Highest rated player/topscorer: Lorenzo Rpdrigues Same guy this season. He carried us in the first half of the season. and even though he fell off near the end he still came in clutch once in a while. best young player: Ruben Mestre He was part of the youth intake from before I joined and despite his youth he was the creative backbone of the team. Near the end of the season as we were playing for less and less I let him join the U19’s in their pursuit of a championship Youth intake Pedro Arruda | Carlos Carvalho | Micheal Eugster | Filipe Ferreira | Daniel Ferreira | Andre marmeleira | Carlos Santos | Filipe Aires | Bruno Andrade | Carlo Mthethwa | Nathan Judet | Angelo Noguira | Rui Ponte | Andre Resende | Luis Teofilo Not a golden generation but enough talent to satisfy me. Board Transfers The finances are in shambles. water is wet. I’d forgotten how bad it was in the lower divisions of portugal. despite this the board decided to increase both youth recruitment and junior coaching (after a lot of pleading) as well as allow me to get my first coaching badge. Next season with a full(er) squad I want to build on this season. More consistency is a must. What that brings me? We’ll see.

I'm a bit late so don't know if this is still needed, but... the reset date for Portugal is the 29th this year

Start of the journey New FM and a new attempt of this challenge. We are back in portugal. This time to the Azores with Praiense SC Praiense plays in the Estádio Municipal da Praia da Vitória, which holds up to 1500 people at a time. The following transfers have been agreed on before my arrival. They'll be escorted to the reserves and sold as soon as possible

Louletano Desportos Clube - End of season review 2032/33 Fixtures 1 | Fixtures 2 | Transfers | Finances The League 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 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 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. 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. And I am studying for the Continental Pro.

Louletano Desportos Clube - End of season review 2031/32 Fans | League Fixtures | League Fixtures 2 | Transfers | Finances The League Back-to-Back! A weird season as our defense was great but we were let down by the offense. 1 loss in 18 games is tremendous. However 10 draws is less than ideal. Luckily for us no one around us was doing particular well. 6 teams fought for the top 4 spots most of the season. A solid 3-0 win on the last match day against Oriental Lisboa makes the table look alot more secure than it was. In the promotion stage there was one team that played consistently well and it wasn't us. It again came to the the last match day where we beat Amora to secure the 2nd spot and sending us down the Play-off route. Belenenses scared us in the first leg of our tie by scoring two early goals. We managed to salvage a draw before a solid win at home saw us through. Estrela da Amadora SAD from Liga 2 awaited us in the final. Winner would get the Liga 2 spot. They beat us in the first leg and I feared for our chances. However, SAD would live up to their name. A great performance at home from sees us going ack to Liga 2!! The Cup A good cup run where we did what we should do against lower league opposition and then also against sporting in the fifth round. It was a nice payday but a humbling defeat. Youth Intake Intakes continue to get worse it seems. Pinto might make it and I'm hoping Model citizen Pereira exceeds his pa. Well, I say each year our intake gets worse, but... We are doing something right it seems. I might be underestimating our intakes. Just maybe. The Squad Some good performances all around, though Evora 2401 was disapointing. Pedro Serras 2404 was back as our top goalscorer and had our best joined highest match rating. Even though this was inflated by a rediculous game against Beira-Mar where he scored 5. Our other highest match rating was for Herculano 3001 who has solidly claimed the main defender role in my team. Still only 17 and room to grow. Next Season Last time we were in Liga 2 it did not go well for us. I'm hopig to avoid relegation this time but fear for the worst. There where big stretches this season we did not play well. There is a decent chance we will be masacred next season. I'm looking forward at least to some financial relief.

Good luck. I love this challenge. i attempted it in FM22 but didn't complete. I'll be back to it someday. Just a heads up. In this version, if you get your coefficient high enough the liechtenstein cup will qualify you for the Europa league instead of the conference league.

Louletano Desportos Clube - End of season review 2030/31 Transfers League fixtures | Promotion league fixtures 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. 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. 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. 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.

Louletano Desportos Clube - End of season review 2029/30 Fixtures | Fans | Finances | Transfers The League 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 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 | Diogo Cardoso 3002 | Rodrigo Faria 3003 | Antonio Capanda 3004 | José Marcelo 3005 | Luís Lopes 3006 | Julien Contrino 3007 | Duarte Reis 3008 | Leonardo Clemente 3009 | André Seca 3010 | Miguel Silva 3011 | Luciano Camará 3012 | Telmo Gomes 3013 | Paulo Nova 3014 | Liedson 3015 | Pedro Escaleira 3016 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 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.

Louletano Desportos Clube - End of season review 2028/29 Transfers 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 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.

Louletano Desportos Clube - End of season review 2027/28 League fixtures | Playoff fixtures | Supporters | Transfers After giving up I tried several other saves but none stuck, so I came back and finished this weird season. After relegating from Liga 2 last year I was confident we would be among the stronger teams. When we had 4 points after the first four matches i assumed we had a slow start and things would kick into gear. Things did not. Short season meant we did not have time enough to find our form. We finished 9th of 10 in the league, still i was carefully optimistic about our chances in the relegation playoffs. We did not do terrible, truly. But it was not enough. Technically we did better than Beira-Mar but since they finished 5th they started this stage with more points than us. We are going back to where it all began. the Campeonato de Portugal Prio D. This may be the weirdest save I've ever done. In 5 years we went from the 4th tier to the 2nd and back again. We only repeated a level once. The other times we either relegted or became champion. The cup Decent showing during a part of the season we still had hopes off a good season. Youth Intake Worst intake of the save, but still some usefull players. Off the field Finances are still bad. We are kept afloat by investments, that's it. However, for the first time this save the board agreed to upgrade a facility Unfortunately our youth facilities themselves are behind the times it seems. It seems we just can't have nice things this save. Next season I very nearly gave up on this save, but for now I'll continue. I won't make predictions about next season. The squad will be for the first time entirely made up off academy players.

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.

Louletano Desportos Clube - End of season review 2026/27 Fixtures 1 | Fixtures 2 | Supporters | Transfers | Finances Well... first season in Liga 2.. second season will have to wait. 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. I liked Liga 3 more anyway... The Cups Nothing special, this season. We went out against top devision opposition both time. Youth Intake Nélson Glória 2701 | Nuno Floro 2702 | Danny Paterok 2703 | Rui Gaspar 2704 | Marco Tiago 2705 | Hugo Prazeres 2706 | Henrique Velasques 2707 | Saná Tavares 2708 | Francisco Raminhos 2709 | Nuno Piquete 2710 | Wellington Carioca 2711 | César Herequechand 2712 | Vítor Suárez 2713 | Olavo Tiba 2714 | Daniel Gyimah 2715 | Cláudio Garrana 2716 Gloria 2701 is the first youth product that got put in to the first team right away. Off the field 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. That did happen in the week after we got relegated, so... I geuss they finaly believe I need more schooling.

Louletano Desportos Clube - end of season review 2025/26 League fixtures | Promotion Fixtures | Finances | Supporters | Transfers Liga 3 Champions!! we did it. not sure how. but we did. 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.
