A World Tour - Another Career


DazRTaylor

Recommended Posts

With my last career save now lost and a one club save ongoing with Matlock, I do enjoy the career type of game so will start afresh.

Game Type - Journeyman.  I will start unemployed.

Reputation - Sunday League.

Starting Qualifications - None.

Editor's Used - Real Competition Names. Huge database added. No extra leagues being used.

Leagues Loaded

  • Argentina
  • Australia
  • Austria
  • Belgium
  • Brazil
  • China
  • Denmark
  • England
  • Finland
  • France
  • Germany
  • Greece
  • Iceland

  • Wales

All leagues have been loaded down to their lowest level.

Database Size - Huge.

Updates - I only intend to update at the end of each season.  I won't be doing previews, though I will be doing club overviews when I move on.  In fact, I like the way @dafugeupdates, so will be basing my posts on his.

Youth - I love to develop players, so any player I feel has a chance to make the first team at the club I am currently managing will be tagged.  YP17a1 for example, would mean Youth Player from 2017.  The "a" means he is the best prospect from that intake and the "1" means he is the first youth prospect I have produced in my career.

Records - I am a bit of a statto, so will be keeping detailed records during this save which you can see in the next few posts.

TEAM RECORDS - SINGLE GAME & SEQUENCE

This section details the records I have achieved during this save. Each section is self explanitory and the records show the progression of each. All records are during competitive games only so friendlies do not count. Where I have equalled a record, only the first time I hit that record will be recorded.

FC United of Manchester

Season 2016/17 Review

1024px-FC_United_of_Manchester_crest.svg

League

A decent recovery as the club enjoyed a seven match unbeaten run in February & March, six of which were under me.  We survived relegation quite comfortably in the end.  My record is not too bad at all - nine wins, three draws and three defeats.

fzTgp5O.png

GREzHYN.png

mqo2IGS.png

F. A. Cup

We lost at Tamworth in a replay in the third qualifying round.  All this happened before I arrived.

oosQuwk.png

F. A. Trophy

We were already eliminated before I arrived, losing at home in the third qualifying round.

h3nTcBQ.png

Squad

Some upgrades, so better than when I started here.  That said, most will be released as I need to start from scratch.  I will be trying to keep some of these loans for another season.

If64Y2X.png

Transfers

I brought in two new permanent signings and six loans as the squad needed some serious upgrading.

KKZFQOX.png

Finances

Quite healthy, due to our excellent attendances.

kzF28CA.png

Key Player Profiles

Junior Morias - Signed on loan from parent club Peterborough, the 21 year old Jamaican striker was sensational, scoring six goals in seven games.

podjtND.png

Adam Wrightson - The 20 year old winger, on loan from Gateshead, made a real impact at the club and will be hard to replace.

Un9qSCz.png

Paddy Lacey - Another loanee, this 24 year old central midfielder was my first signing at the club, from Accrington Stanley for the rest of the season.  He ran the show in the middle of the park.

Mh45Mmc.png

Darren Stephenson - Yet another player signed on loan, this time from Tranmere Rovers, the 24 year old Jamaican winger was in brilliant form and gave plenty of full backs nightmares.

bdo1xgZ.png

Rhys Sharpe - Signed from Swindon Town for a transfer fee of £5,500, the 22 year old left back has made the position his own.

JIqXujI.png

Next Season

I will be aiming for a playoff place next season.

Season 2017/18 Departing Review

League

Top of the league and five points clear.  We are also unbeaten on the road, so I leave the club with a clear conscience.

uNt1L1d.png

knPwDhr.png

F. A. Cup

A disappointing run saw us fail to reach the first round as a loss at home to Worcester City saw the club eliminated in the fourth qualifying round.

E4RCQQk.png

F. A. Trophy

A routine win over Blyth,  saw the club draw Vanarama National side York City in the first round proper.

fCCFSHL.png

Squad

The squad I leave behind is far superior than the one I inherited and they should win the league quite comfortably.

tf5ZXxY.png

Transfers

Quite a few additions this season and they have pretty much all been a success.

V5jAD0s.png

Finances

I leave the club in good health finance wise, despite being over my wage budget virtually throughout my time here.

Good luck I always get to attached to teams to be able to do these properly.  Managed to get out of non league football already which is impressive

Thanks mate.  Due to the good finances at FC United, I already had two coaching badges and they boost your reputation hugely so I can only assume it is this.

Rochdale

Season 2017/18 Review

2012214_11237.jpg

League

Just brilliant.  We lost my first two games in charge (one was in the F.A Cup), but then we never looked back as the squad adapted to my tried and trusted system.

5tUapRz.png

JeHTN1w.png

jo4uX4v.png

F. A. Cup

My first game in charge was away to non league Dagenham & Redbridge and we promptly lost, so were eliminated in the second round.  Very disappointing.

icJddZ5.png

EFL Trophy

Already eliminated before my arrival, the club went out

FTAf0rP.png

Checkatrade Trophy

The club went out after failing to get out of their group.

W3JfAoz.png

fZPN3HC.png

Squad

A squad not short on quality, I fully expect this group of players to challenge for a play off spot next season.

j714oqO.png

Transfers

Some real quality was brought in, in January, as my squad was easily the best in the division.

5tshPHL.png

Finances

Whilst still healthy, it is a lot lower than when I joined.  I did enjoy a spending spree in January though.

oVmJTP3.png

Key Player Profiles

Joao Mota - A January acquisition, a long term injury to our first choice striker saw the 17 year old Portuguese forward thrust into the team and he didn't look back, scoring 13 goals in 18 games.  I really feel we have a potential Premier League star on our hands.

SWqHr4c.png

Sammy Ameobi - The winger joined in January on a free transfer and was easily our best player.

YndDLeZ.png

Trevoh Chalobah - Signed on loan from Chelsea, the young centre half was a rock at the back.

NLPst6u.png

Lloyd Isgrove - Also signed in January on a free transfer, this winger complimented Sammy Ameobi beautifully as we dominated many games by playing out wide.

wx3jdv2.png

Jamie Allen - A product of the club's youth academy and still only 23 years old, he has made over 175 league appearances for the club and has another cracking season.

DCwFGZa.png

Next Season

I am thinking about moving on already.  The squad is more than strong enough to challenge for a top six spot in League One and I may need a break from England.

Rochdale

Season 2018/19 Departing Review

2012214_11237.jpg

League

A rough start saw the club only achieve three wins in the first ten games and we were mid table.  However, a run of twelve wins out of fifteen sprung the team to the top of the league.

b08aKRh.png

OH2Zryd.png

F. A. Cup

Two routine wins against non league sides have seen a third round draw away to Crystal Palace in round three.

aLsDcev.png

EFL Cup

An excellent win over Norwich was followed by a poor performance in losing to Brentford as we went out in the second round.

oMMS6WK.png

Checkatrade Trophy

Wanting to have a go at winning the trophy, I have fielded strong sides throughout and we achieved four wins from four, scoring seventeen goals in the process.

3AqVsLS.png

nHiA9n5.png

Squad

A squad with some quality that I feel could survive in the Championship.

nfqeNR1.png

Transfers

Some more wheeling and dealing as a good squad was improved still further.

Finances

Still in the black, but not great.

Newcastle United

Season 2018/19 Review

477px-Newcastle_United_Logo.svg.png

League

A mess.  A dreadful season, though we managed to survive.  A huge improvement is required next season.

IKkTeNl.png

pKovYrd.png

IJBANke.png

F. A. Cup

My first game as manager at the club and we were so poor, I was amazed we only lost 3-1.  Eliminated at the first oppotunity, in the third round.

BRZd4Q8.png

EFL Trophy

Already eliminated before my arrival, the club went out in the second round.

WPnsQjz.png

Squad

Such a poor squad.  On high wages and low on quality.  Some major revamping is required.

Z4LwCZs.png

Transfers

I managed to bring five players in, though four of them were immediately loaned out as they are for the future.  Franck Kessie is the only real acquisition of note.

9LyrUL4.png

aj6aWpI.png

Finances

A reasonable amount in the bank and being Mike Ashley in charge, we will probably remain in the black.

IRal0pv.png

Key Player Profiles

Franck Kessie - My first signing for the club, he is young and gifted and played very well in his half season here.

xioCZgP.png

Matt Ritchie - Playing on the right wing, he had a decent season.

5Lyy6Gq.png

Jonjo Shelvey - The midfield maestro runs the game...when he turns up, which is not often enough.

ytZeUrF.png

Chancel Mbemba - A solid, if unspectacular centre half.

IJA7mRn.png

Danny Ings - The striker, who, when fit, is the best player at the club, has been injured for most of the season with a damaged cruciate ligament injury.

Next Season

A top ten finish is my goal.

Newcastle United

Season 2019/20 Review

477px-Newcastle_United_Logo.svg.png

League

After nine games, we were in the relegation zone as we won only one of those games.  We recovered somewhat, finishing eighth, which is satisfactory.

mTzSe5h.png

vC89szk.png

InNF5D1.png

F. A. Cup

We made it to the fifth round before going out, losing at home to Southampton.

qNGlaJk.png

EFL Trophy

A decent cup run to the semi final, before being outclassed by Liverpool, losing both legs by an aggregate score of 6-2.

oynJ6Rk.png

Squad

Much better than last season, though we are still nowhere near competing for a Champions League place.

d16i9QZ.png

Transfers

A huge turnover of players as £112m was spent, with £124m being brought in from player sales.  In total, 28 players arrived, a lot of them youngsters for the future and 51 players were either released, sold or loaned out.

Sc1m01M.png

plRkV73.png

Finances

Solid if unspectacular.

d5FQ6uz.png

Key Player Profiles

Wesley Hoedt - Arguably my best signing to date at the club.  I activated his £14.75m release clause from relegated Derby, he is a Dutch international and is the first name on the team sheet.

JuFAH5a.png

Rodrigo Robledo - Teenage right back signed from Brazilian side Sao Paulo for £12m, he has been magnificent.

z9b4zYM.png

Franck Kessie - Defensive midfielder who has been a rock.

CjF4wOw.png

Henrik Brandhof - What a prospect!  Teenage goalkeeper signed from Brondby and thrust in as first choice goalkeeper early, he has quickly become an excellent goalkeeper and he can only get better.

L2wtdxu.png

Moise Kean - Teenage striker signed on loan from Juventus, he scored over twenty goals in an excellent campaign.

Next Season

I hope to challenge for a Europa League qualifying spot.
