All three of the January signings looked great. How did they perform as compared to your expectations?

MARCH 2024
A decent run of results to finish off the month, with George Hawkins being crowned the League Two Young Player of the Month for March the highlight. The winger started the season slow but since the beginning of 2024 he has shown tremendous potential, culminating in a fantastic run of form in March. In the League Two, MK Dons were crowned champions before April began.

YOUTH INTAKE 2024
I was expecting worse considering the Youth Preview grades, but this was a pleasant surprise. There does not appear to be any stars, but all the 4.5/5 PA ones have the potential to be useful members of the first team.
The Congolese might be small but he seems to have heart and the right attitude. Good technique but his physical shortcomings will have to be compensated.
Perhaps the most exciting player from the new crop coming in - at least in terms of initial reactions - Williams is already 1.88 meters at 15. His obvious strength is in the hair, but he also possesses decent technique with the ball. Still have to get faster, however.
Good passing ability, 1.87 meters height, and decent technique with the ball - those are the notables of Clayton. However, his strength needs a lot of work and for someone with good passing technique, his eye for the right pass is still lacking.
Poku has the right attitude and has shown maturity, but he is neither quick nor strong - both requirements for the left-back position he plays. He will have to improve dramatically in both facets of his game.

FEBRUARY 2024
The team got the home results that was asked of them, but the 3-0 loss to 23rd Place (at the time) Grimsby Town was heavy. Injuries to both starting striker Mark Burns and starting right winger Abdul Meite ruled them out for about a month each, but Northern Ireland U21 regular Shea Waide picked up the scoring slack.

Hardie making things happen! Good read.

JANUARY 2024
A single victory in five games is not a great start to the new year. Thankfully, the club has maintained its mid-table status but the home results have to get better.
Below are the big transfers from the January 2024 window - Yeremy Pino to Man City is a big one.

DECEMBER 2023
A fairly decent end to the year - the Lions took a strong home win against Bradford but were disappointing against Morecambe. Their 3-1 away win against Mansfield in the final game of 2023 was a great sending off to the year.
Only two players have a +7.00 AR - Abdul Meite's 10 Assists are currently top of the league and Mark Burns has been the club's most consistent forward over the past couple of months.

Early reports from the Kafra Youth Academy is suggesting we might have some decent attacking players that have started developing through the club's system.

NOVEMBER 2023
It was not a great month for the Lions - one win in six games is not a good look. The good news is that the last three games were also not losses, so there is hope by manager Jnoubi that the team will be able to get rolling in December.
With the club knocked out of all cup competitions in their first season, the focus shifted towards the League Two and maintaining the mid-table position going forward at minimum.

Great and enjoyable read to start off the FM24 save.

November and December have been harsh!

More international debuts for the England U18 side with Keith Hewlett and Ryan Conway. For Shea Waide, it was a better - but still mediocre - performance as the Northern Irish U21 side drew against Hungary.

This was Marley Littlefair's first international game, joining teammates Leam Beatson and Mark Burns on the England U18 side. Meanwhile, Northern Ireland U21 regular Shea Waide had a weak game against England.

November has not been kind thus far - First Round knockout from the FA Cup against League One side Exeter and the third loss in a row in the EFL Trophy.

How has your experience been playing in Japan thus far?

As always, a hugely immersive and entertaining read, as with all your saves. Great stuff.

I love how in-depth you get with your thought process. Great read thus far.

OCTOBER 2023
The results for October were not impressive - two home losses and another disappointing showing in the EFL Trophy. Shea Waide (13 Apps, 6 Gls, 7.12 AR) has been the best player on the squad thus far in the season, also starring for the Northern Irish U21 team and playing quite well.

Shea Waide continues to shine for the Northern Irish U21 side.

It's back \o/
I was going to start a save in FM23 and bring it over, but I decided against it and started fresh.
I find that delving into the Vanarama leagues tend to be a chore for me, so I figured just stick to starting in the League Two, that is where my fun starts.
Also, I would physically cover the CA and PA of every create-a-player so I literally have no idea what their potential might be, I just know that I put a limit of £250K value for each player that I did not exceed. They are all 14 and 15 year olds, as I wanted to grow with them throughout their career. I replaced Doncaster as they have a great stadium and good facilities.
Thank you for reading and commenting!

SEPTEMBER 2023
September was a rough month for the Lions – they managed only one win in six games and ended the month with a disappointing 3-1 loss to Barrow. The team slipped down to 11th Place in the League Two table, and by the end of the month, only GK Ellis Parker had an AR of above 7.00 – he had a 7.02 AR. Shea Waide, who did well for Northern Ireland’s U21 side in his second game with them, also scored 2 of his 3 Goals during the month as it was a busy September for him.

There were reports of eyes on some of the Kafra FC players, but no one expected international call-ups so soon. Shea Waide had a difficult first game for the Northern Ireland U21 side, but he came back big in his second, pretty much turning into a hero for a day. The Kafra FC Youth Academy reaping the results early in its existence.

That was quick! It looks like Kafra FC striker Mark Burns and our MC Brook Moreman have already started garnering attention from around the country. Meanwhile, Shea Waide is sure to play a big role in the Northern Ireland U21 side.

AUGUST 2023
The young defense had its ups and downs during the preseason, but they started the real season ready to play, conceding in the fourth game after registering three clean sheets in their first three matches, including a Carabao Cup First Round 1-0 victory over Tranmere at home. The month ended with a couple of rough results, however, with the last game being against Championship side Sunderland and losing 4-2 at home in the Carabao Cup Second Round. As expected with a team of 14 and 15-year-old players, the inconsistency was evident very early in the season.

[FM24] Kafra FC - Youth-only in England
in FM Career Updates
Posted
Hi all - I wanted to share an update since I have stayed playing my save and just hit the year 2050. Here is our progress through the years, along with the most talented players to come out of the Kafra Youth Academy over the years.
Perhaps the most talented player we developed until 2050 was Joshua Maggs, who left the club and signed with Paris Saint-Germain, remaining at the club till today (January 2050) - he is now 35-years-old. This is Maggs in his prime below, along with his career till today.
The other players of note are Brandon Clayton, who spent his whole career at the club and was our captain throughout most of the 2020s and 2030s - Kemar Hylton, our first quality GK who was our rock at the back before being replaced and then moving on to Qatar - Mark Burns, Clayton's partner-in-crime as the club advanced through the leagues and finally became a Premier League club in the 2030s.
Feel free to ask me anything about my team or the world at large - I have most the leagues loaded up as playable.
