Bedese Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Season Review! League Well, that was pretty successful! We were superb all year, and although we weren't on top form in the playoffs, we won 3/3 games to claim back the title. I genuinely wasn't expecting it. Cup We comfortably won our group, but we were knocked out in the Quarters by Folgore. Schedule Squad Other Teams: Juvenes Dogana lost 3-1 to Valletta from Malta in the CL First Qualifying Round, while Folgore lost 4-1 to Linfield and Virtus lost 6-0 to Olimpija from Slovenia in the EL First Qualifying Round. Next year: We're at a weird stage of the save that I never came across on FM 16, where we're playing in Europe with a starting lineup comprised mostly of original players. I still don't think we're the best team in San Marino, but if we can get our 3rd title in 4 years next season I may have to rethink that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedese Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 As @Ceching You Out pointed out on his excellent save thread, when you get a Junior Coaching upgrade, it doesn't actually take effect straight away, but comes in over a longer term period like the inbox message suggests. Our junior coaching level was at 6 before the last intake, but is now at 10. Why am I telling you this? Well... Youth Intake Day! Boom. There's something wrong with his face, but there's nothing wrong with his play. Righi is a ridiculous CB at this level - and has a superb personality - and instantly becomes the best player at the club. I'm over the moon to have him. And he has a brand new partner in crime, too. Raschi is equally quality. I am buzzing. Well, we now need to use wingers. Elia looks very good for this level. Potential to be a very decent striker. It's a shame we don't need a keeper, because Albani looks very decent. He'll be our backup for now. Another quality winger. Could grow into a decent CM. If you can't tell, I'm very, very happy with this I don't think we're ever going to get a better intake than this. There are so many players here who are going to make an instant impact. The class of '22 are going to be the ones that take us from a decent team to dominant domestically - I hope. Now we just need to turn Professional so we can keep hold of them...

Bedese Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Just a quick note - I prefer the youth player notation system other people are using to mine, so we're now going with the year of the intake next to a letter: a for the best player in that intake, b for the second best, etc. We're still only going to be tagging the important ones, but I feel like this tag system is more useful.

Bedese Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 So this happened... I didn't even ask the board. They just did it on their own.

Bedese Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Season Review! League Well, that backs up my belief that we aren't actually that strong. Cup Likewise.

Next year: We might not have been great last year, but the class of 22 should change that. This should be the start of our dominance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedese Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 A few teams have been upgrading their junior coaching, which is great to see. Juvenes Dogana are the main team to watch out for - their youth recruitment starts at 4/20 (ours is 2), and they've upgraded to 6 junior coaching. They could get some tidy players through that system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedese Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Youth Intake Day! Now that's a quality FB. He's superb for our level. And that's a quality CM, which is an area we've been lacking in. We don't need a GK, but our others might end up leaving soon, so who knows. *Checks his height* *Cries of happiness* Big, big plans for the big man. He has 1 vision, presumably because everyone looks like ants from where he's standing. His technicals aren't the best, but he's got 13 finishing, decent composure, good teamwork, good workrate, excellent bravery and 14 jumping to go with his height. I'm very excited for him. See, with saves like these, you need to build around your strengths - and this is the first time in the save I'd say that we have a clear strength. It doesn't matter the quality of opposition, Giardi is going to go up and win his fair share of headers. We just need to come up with a tactic that aims to get the ball onto his head as much as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
