rlipscombe Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Lenzar - well done on winning division 3. Good luck next season. Dr Poods - 4th is a great result. Good to see your finances getting back on track. European football will help a lot too. Good luck next season. Marty78 - unlucky in the CL. Surely you’ll break into the quarter finals soon at least. Danger_mouse - congratulations on the Cl qualification! Hopefully you can get a good draw next season. Mulder looks like a really good striker.

rlipscombe Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 SV Waldhof Mannheim – German Bundesliga – Season 2025/26 Season Preview So after back to back titles my focus turned a little to trying to improve the squad a little in order to push for European glory whilst maintaining our form in Germany. A number of fringe players left but I also took a gamble and decided to sell Pirulito. I felt his wage demands were excessive and on top of this I want to give Delcroix and Hamberger the chance to show what they can do. So without further ado here are the new signings. Transfers Full Backs 32. Muluken Okello - signed on loan from Arsenal he has great potential. I have an option to sign him so this is a season long trial for the Englishman. 36. Ninoslav Petrov - A young Serbian, Petrov joins with the future in mind. Has the potential to be a star. Centre Backs 5. Thorbjoen Angeltveit - Norweigen centre back signed to add quality depth to our central defence. I have been tracking the Norweigen for a couple of years and I finally took the plunge. Midfielders 34. Jonas Gloor - young Swiss defensive midfielder signed with an eye on the future. Strikers 7. Emiliano Rolon - Argentine striker signed from River Plate. I am excited by his potential and I will look to give him some game time this season where appropriate. The Upcoming Season Overall it is largely the same squad that retained the title for the coming season. The squad are continuing to develop well and I am hopeful that the continuity will see us in good stead. Time will tell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldojags Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 rlipscombe-Good signings there, they are all quite impressive physically. I like the centre half and striker especially, they more than look ready for your first team. The right back, I would look into maybe training him as a centre back too? Just for the versatility.

marty78 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 rlipscombe- Some nice work in the transfer market but what is the crack with the player faces? I have just recently found out that I can change the numerical attributes to a graphical form and have decided to give it a whirl. The thing I like about it is that I can tell roughly how good an attribute without being able to say for definite. Does anyone else use this? This is what it looks like. And on an non scouted player. You might also notice that I have Zinedine Zidane as my background picture as he is a club icon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Sava Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Holstein Kiel - 2024/2025 Season Overview Manager Profile League Finish - 1st Media Prediction - 2nd Average Attendance - 14950 Fans Player of the Year - Silva Transfers Florian Hadewicz - <22(1) apps, 1 goal, 2 MoM, 6.89 Av R> - I was kinda short on german players and when the opportunity came i signed Florian. He had a good season but was mostly a backup in case our main defenders got injured, which happened more this season. Nabil Dubois - <29 apps, 4 goals, 2 MoM, 7.29 Av R> - He replaced Paulo Ferreira in the first team as i felt Ferreira was not quite good enough for our ambitions. Lucas Roa - <12(3) apps, 14 goals, 3 assists, 5 MoM, 7.72 Av R> - My star transfer and most likely one of my key players for the future. In the first part of the season i got in a fight with him after he got 2 red cards and i put him on the bench for a few months. I brought him back in for the final battle for the title and he won us the title. Hopefully his attitude on the field will change as he tends to get to many cards. Muçum - Backup goalkeeper, he didn't get to play any games. André - <31(1) apps, 3 goals, 17 assists, 2 MoM, 7.29 Av R> - Another young talent i found this season but i fear his physical attributes are holding him down. Will try to get those up next season. Bundesliga League Table Graph Fixtures 1 | Fixtures 2 Team of the Year Well i don't know how but in the end we managed to ge our hands on the title, we have been playing catch up all season long. A sweet 4-2 win away at Bayern gave us the edge and even if we didn't win the next 2 games we held on and won it with a 2-0 at home with Kaiserslautern. Dortmund was in shape this season and Bayern was just decent this time. They will probably stomp everything in Germany next season. German Cup After reaching the semi-finals last year we went back to geting knocked out in the 2nd round, this time against Dortmund. Champions League Group Stage The group stage was tricky and we qualified in the very last game against Sporting at home. Chelsea won every game in the group. 1s Knockout Round The 1st knockout round gave us Barcelona. We played the first game at home and we got good 1-1 draw against the winners of CL in the last 3 seasons. The away game was close for 63 minutes and the score was 2-2 but then Barcelona scored 3 more times and we lost the game 5-2. In the end it was better than i expected and hopefully we will get more lucky in next year's draw. The Squad I changed the tactic this season and went for a 4-2-3-1. First Eleven GK - Madson - <34 apps, 41 conceded, 11 shutouts, 6.92 Av R> DR - Francesco Melchiorre - <31(3) apps, 8 assists, 2 MoM, 7.13 Av R> DC - Hugo Cano - <40 apps, 3 goals, 3 assists, 7.18 Av R> - Team of the Year DC - Nabil Dubois - <29 apps, 4 goals, 2 MoM, 7.29 Av R> DL - Alessio Natale - <28(4) apps, 2 assists, 1 MoM, 7.01 Av R> MC - Esteban Mansilla - <37(5) apps, 2 goals, 7 assists, 1 MoM, 7.03> MC - Joel - <42(1) apps, 3 goals, 9 assists, 6.95 Av R> AMR - Silva - <37(1) apps, 15 goals, 15 assists, 3 MoM, 7.34 Av R> - Team of the Year AMC - André - <31(1) apps, 3 goals, 17 assists, 2 MoM, 7.29 Av R> AML - Florent Sarda - <36(3) apps, 11 goals, 5 assists, 1 MoM, 7.22 Av R> ST - Lucas Roa - <12(3) apps, 14 goals, 3 assists, 5 MoM, 7.72 Av R> Others Neal Evans - <13(3) apps, 12 goals, 5 assists, 4 MoM, 7.41 Av R> Jaguaré - <28(11) apps, 7.06 Av R> Santos - <10(13) apps, 10 goals, 5 assists, 1 MoM, 7.10 Av R> Conclusions and plans for the future Winning our second title and geting out of the CL group stage, i would say this has been a good season. I don't have any major transfers planned for now and i will probably buy only if a really good players comes my way. I will try to sell some of the players i don't use anymore. Financially the club is good but it could be better with a few money from transfers. The plan for next season is to work on progressing in CL.

Andy Sava Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 saab600 - Germany has the least restrictions in the first division. In the 3rd division, where you will start, you will be required to have 4 under 23 german players in your first team. From all the countries in the challenge Germany is probably the easy one due to the fact there are absolutely no restrictions on player nationalities in Bundesliga. Don't think you will auto complete the challenge though you may dominate Bundesliga but Champions League is at a whole different level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty78 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 saab600- France includes lots of extra nations as European (including most of Africa) and allows 4 non-European players on top.

aldojags Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Well done minisav, who is in your group? Saab- in the champions league the restrictions are you need a squad of 25 players, 4 of whom have to have been. At your club for 3 years before they were 18. And overall you need 8 players who were based in your country for the same amount of time. So you cant fill your squad full of foreigners unless you signed them as 15 year olds and have had trhem for over 3 years. So basically 17 players from anywhere, 8 from country your playing in, and 4 of them need to be at your club as a youth for 3 years. If u cant fill these quotas you need to leave space in squad. But u have a while to sort that out when ur progressing thru the challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldojags Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Just got my youth intake. It's the first intake I've had since I got the recruitment increased to "well established". I wish it showed! Signing 3 players from it. The first is a 2.5 striker, Loris Lecarpentier, who looks ok, but 2.5 won't ever really make it to first team regular. But could be good squad player. not much to look at all. The next, is 2 star full back, Mahamadou Dembele. Again, nothing to look at it, but we'll see. Allegedly, the best player from this years youth intake, and according the my coaches, potentially one of the best players of his generation (similar to Roger's description when he came through) is 3.5 right winger Bryan Charles. I do not see the fuss. He is weak in every area of his game except for a small amount of pace, and I know he's only 14, but I don't see how this guy will ever be a French international. 3.5 stars PA means if he fulfills it, he'll pretty much be a French regular, but I'll be amazed if he produces it. Same with Mahamadou Fomba from last year, he has 3.5 PA, but isn't much to look at, he's progressed slightly this season, still not thinking he'll be as good as coaches say. Plus I play a pretty narrow formation with no wingers, and although he's competent at right back, I'll be surprised to see this player get to 3.5. Do any of you ever get these wild predictions? Thats been a few years now since I got Roger through, who right away at 15, you could tell would make a class player, and so it has proved. But this guy looks dreadful!

marty78 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 aldojags- I look more at coach reports than just star ratings and anything above 2 stars for me is a good Ligue 1 player. A player may never make the first team but could have value from sales. I got a total of £6.4m (including selling his clauses) for a youth product who I didn't really rate. Also don't forget that Charles is two footed which uses up a fair bit of CA. A two footed winger can be a great asset. My entire reserve side (3rd in CFA) is made up of youth graduates on low wages who will back up the first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
