Things are looking exiting towards the end of the season!

What sort of tactics you using @XaW

A 4-3-3 variant I'm changing around to suit my players. I found myself conceding a lot of goals anyway, so why not try to outscore them going attacking.

[BruceyNTFC]

Dulwich Hamlet here we go...

 

[Wlv]

433 with 3 strikers XaW? If so, I'm finding this brilliant for scoring. Two of my strikers had 30 goals last season and the other had 22.

Yeah, and thumping the ball up to them and hope they can create mayhem. I do struggle a bit against very defensive teams, but since I'm very lowly rated it at least works for now. I'm guessing it will have to change when my rep catches up, but for now it works a like a charm. I score a lot, but also concede a lot. Some games I create so many chances and miss, so it's a rather frustrating tactic sometimes, but it works for me, at least for the moment.

I've switched to a 3-4-3 which seems to be working, just need to get better at closing out games.

XaW - Marine - 2021/22

Table | Squad | Transfers | Finances

With the promotion last year my goal for this season was simply to avoid the drop back down. However, the difference in quality was much smaller than I expected and i found we could measure up against most of the teams. When I added in a couple of very talented players my scouts presented me with, things went much better than expected. We hovered around the playoff spots the whole season, but as we closed in on spring time we really hit a good form and suddenly we were part of the fight for the championship. We were 6 teams close to each other, and everyone could take the title. Eastleigh, Salford, Notts Co, Stanly, Grimsby and ourselves. With only one match remaining we found ourselves top of the league, but only a single point ahead of Grimsby. The other teams had slipped up a bit, so it was either them or us. We played away to Barrow, while Grimsby had Kidderminster at home. The players gave it their all, but we could only manage a 2-2. When I then looked at the other scores, I saw that Grimsby had won it 4-2 and taken the top from us at the final day!

So we went out into the playoffs and got a bye on the first round since we finished in 2nd place. In the semi final we got a home match against Carlisle. We beat them quite comfortably 4-1 to get to the final at Wembley, and our final opponent turned out to be Salford who beat Stanley 4-2 away in the other semi. The final itself was a very exciting game for both sides. We took the lead after 14 minutes when our top scorer Manesseh Koenraat headed in a free kick. Salford hit back after 27 minutes when they took us on the counter, and even took the lead after 40 minutes when they took advantage in a scruff in our box after a free kick. The equalizer came just two minutes later though as midfielder Abdi Sharif scored from the edge of the box. In the second half we took the lead after 58 minutes when our strong defender George Edmundson won an aerial duel after a corner to put us ahead. I though we had scored the final goal when Alex Pattison scored a placed shot 3 minutes into the overtime. Salford hit back moments later at they ran straight through us and scored. We did manage to hold on to the ball the final moments to win it! We are heading into League Two!

In the FA Cup we had a great run as we beat Gateshead, Shrewsbury and Crawley before we edged out Tottenham on White Hart Lane in an amazing match. We did lose to Liverpool at Anfield in the 4th round though, but still a great run and our finances loves it. In the FA Trophy we beat Morecambe and Forest Green before losing to Stanley in the 3rd round.

My best players this season have been top scorer Manesseh Koenraat, our midfield general Stavros Pechlivanidis and goalkeeper Scott Maloney.

[Upside Down]

Congratulations @XaW. Well done on the promotion, I think you are the first to make it to League 2.

@The_Gato_In_Goal @wynter Well done on getting promotion.

Tonbridge Angels - Season 2019 - 2020 (2) - National League South

Board Expectation: Fight bravely against relegation

Manager Expectation: Top half finish

Media Prediction: 20th

Final Position: 5th

An improvement upon last season as we managed to qualify for the playoffs but we rarely looked competitive as Braintree defeated us 4-2 in the Wildcard Round. Far prefer the new playoff system with one off matches. Two leg games in domestic competitions bothers me.

The squad is too big at the moment. Players kept bothering me with gripes about a lack of playing time. It's something I've never been good at managing at non league level and whilst I have sufficient support to avoid dynamics problems this has definitely been far improved this year in the game.

League Two clubs are showing an interest in bringing me on board so I'm clearly doing something right. I also won Manager of the Year on the second try. Hopefully next season I can trade that in for a promotion!

FA Cup: A shameful 1-0 defeat to Merstham in the Second Qualifying Round, nuff said.

FA Trophy: Knocked out 1-0 by bogey team Wealdstone in the Third Qualifying Round. No cup wins this season. AFC Fylde won this, beaten only four times across all competitions in securing a non league double along with the National League Premier.

Manager's Player of the Season: Matt Carter swept the awards across the board at our end of season awards ceremony, including a blistering volley from outside the box to win goal of the season. Too good for this level and is set to leave at the end of his contract.

Season - Year - Division - Position - Notes
1 - 2018/19 - National League South - 11th - Two Manager of the Month awards, 3rd in Manager of the Year voting.
2 - 2019/20 - National League South - 5th - One Manager of the Month award,  National League South Manager of the Year.

Around the World

England - Another dominant performance from Man United in the league but faltering performances elsewhere mean it's their only trophy this season. Some unfancied sides enjoy success in the domestic cups, with West Brom stunning Spurs on penalties to win the League Cup and Watford running Liverpool close in the FA Cup final. The Merseyside club survive the scare to take their tally of FA Cups to nine.

Europe - After dominating Europe last season, only Man City represents England in the Quarter Finals of the Champions League. PSG completes the treble in a shootout win against Real Madrid, who must settle for only the Copa del Rey.  Arsenal win the Super Cup and Club World Cup as North London rivals Tottenham suffer a 2-1 Europa League Final defeat to Hoffenheim, who had to survive the dying stages with nine men!

International - England sweep a qualifying group including Netherlands and Northern Ireland to qualify for Euro 2020. Kosovo are the shock qualifiers, despite only getting 4 points from qualifying their Nations League Division D Group 3 top spot sends them into the playoffs where they beat Latvia and Macedonia to reach their first major competition.

Next Season

Our wage budget is still high but promotion is essential to avoid getting gutted financially. We had to expand our ground by 1000 seats to comply with regulations and I'm hoping that won't come back to bite us on the behind.

Season 2018/19 Review - Mickleover Sports in the Vanarama National League North

League Table | Squad | Transfers | Finances | Season Review

Did what was needed and not much more. We're okay in attack at ~1.7 goals per game but 75 conceded is worst in the league. It's mostly long balls behind my slow central defenders, something not even the deepest defensive line seems to alleviate. A pacy defender on cover duty might just be on the cards for next season. Adding to that, we're worst in the league at defending free kicks and corners, conceding a combined 23 goals from these situations. I may have to delve into the analysis screens and figure out exactly how we're getting things so wrong.

While on the subject of statistics, this team is certainly true to my usual lower league style: Comfortably leading the tackles won and fouls made charts, not to mention the least disciplined at 13 red cards and 100 yellows. We're a combative side and that's how I like it, but I think it was somewhere around when we had to play a 3-3-1 formation for 60min against FC United that I realized we may just be overdoing it ever so slightly. Or maybe it was the following match when 7 players were suspended. I forget. Some tactical tweaks needed here for sure...

The finances are looking a bit shaky and the board has had to inject a total of £120K to keep us afloat. I'm essentially betting they can keep this up and negotiated a ~£500 increase to the wage budget at contract renewal - headroom that will come in handy for next season.

Aim for next season: Quicker defenders and a tactical re-think. Fewer red cards?

Holiday man regen? LOL

[HighFlyingDwarf]

Familiar scoreline at Wembley but wrong team on the winning end. England knocked out in the second round by Greece! bleurgh. Benitez resigns.

[Fadedaf]

@The_Gato_In_Goal, @wynter, @XaW congrats on promotion!

@Agent I'm also managing Merthyr and seem to be having a bit of success with a pretty simple 4-4-2 with wide midfielders if that helps.

[Upside Down]

Reading about managers going with full attack and after a few disappointing results with my defensive play I am going to go on the attack and see if it happens. I need to stop drawing and win lots of games if my slim title chances are going to happen. I feel I am probably unlikely to miss play-offs either way so it is pretty risk free.

[Fadedaf]

Our first ever win against a team in a higher league!

[Upside Down]

Very nice Fadedaf

[Upside Down]

Problem with my save, not going to be able to continue my attempt with Billericay. Sitting 3rd and trying to push for an unlikely title win towards the end of the first season but it has gone. Guess that is the risk playing with the Beta.

Not sure whether I will give this another go or not.

[Sn00gle]

@XaW Great season ClapClap keep going and finish this fast coz I want see you in youth academy challange babygrill:)

[Upside Down]

Wilbur Sherard Kenway-Chester will be attempting this challenge as manager of Billericay for the second time as there is unfinished business.

[XaW]

Thanks guys! It truly was a fantastic season, now to see if we are good enough for League Two! We did go pro after the season, so I'm trying to get all the players I want to keep on full time deals.

@Sn00gle: Haha, that's the first time anyone have ever called me that!  I'll have youth challenge go when I either finish this or for some reason can't finish it. I really think a youth save will be good this year, with the dynamics and stuff. The cohesion will be amazing after a few season I imagine.

[Mr_Demus]

A lot of great reads and achievements already. My FM fingers are itching, but I am waiting for full release. 

A baby really cuts into your FM time...

[wynter]

Effective Pre-Season, decided to keep the majority of the players and try to maintain that positive atmosphere. We did still make some transfers though.

 

Keeping the same tactics, our primary one was just a way to test out some of the new roles but it works brilliantly. Option 2 is just an occasional mix-up when I think things look stale.

[XaW]

Never a dull moment...

Played a game last night, won 4-1 away from home then my PC crashed.

Just thought I would throw this up in here. Anybody else having and large transfers. Bellerin at £104m is a bit of an odd one!

I don't have Bellerin,but Mbappe is both at first and second....

Staines 2019/20

Table | Squad | Transfers| Cups

 

The season started off well and the team looked very sharp. By Dec they were comfortably in the playoffs. It started to unravel at the end of Jan about when i signed Meekens who was terrible. I lost 9 games in a row which finished any promotion hopes and ended towards the bottom of the table.
In the FA cup the team beat Dulwich and Merthyr before facing L2 Blackpool away. A 2-1 win should have been more comfortable with 5 CCC's created.
In the 2nd Rd L1 Burton were the opponents in a televised match. A 96th minute undeserved equaliser by Staines led to a replay were the team were easily beaten 3-0.
In the FA trophy the team lost to VNL woking.
Finances are ok thanks to the fa cup run.

Most of my transfers in were 16yo's to boost my u18 team.
The defence was catastrophic with only the bottom 2 teams worse, My strikers also stopped scoring when the team started losing in feb.
Hamilton scored 10 in 17 league games but had lost form by the time his loan ended, Pearce was also very hot and cold.
In midfield were my best players in Klass and Worrall, youth player Williams also did well.
My biggest issue is getting the players roles right as i'm still not getting the best out of the likes of Zanzala and Klass.

First thing first was to get rid of the staff that I didn't want as my first job in charge on 25th June 2018.

 

* OUT -  Assistant Manager - Freddie Hyatt
 

* OUT - Coach - Fabio Valenti

After some tinkering with scouting budget and the transfer budget I managed to get an available wage budget of £2.92k per week after agreeing that the seasons expections is to avoid relegation.

27th June 2018.

First press conference.

 

 

* IN - Clayton Fortune - Assistant Manager - His best role is actually a coach but thought his stats looked the best out there at the time for Assistant Manager, so went with that.

 

* IN - Ramone Stephens - Chief Scout.

* IN - Tommy O'Malley - Scout.

* IN - Kevin Oxby - Physio.

* IN - Jack Collison - Coach.

* IN - Anthony Shah - GK Coach.

Spoke to the board on this day as well to ask for my number of coaches to be released and they agreed!

28th June 2018.

* IN - Adam Wallace - Scout.

30th June 2018.

* OUT -  Kezie Ibe - Player - Retired.

4th July 2018.

* OUT - Arthur Lee - Player - Contract Expired.

1st August 2018.

* IN - Ben Wells - Left Back/Defensive Full Back - Free.

4th August 2018.

* OUT - Malachy McGovern - Free.

* OUT - Geo Craig - Free.

Here is a little comparison of how my initial "First Team" the first one was what I would have been prepared off the bat to play when they came back from holiday on the 2nd July 2018 the second screenshot is what I would have been happy to play with at the start of the season on the 6th August 2018 onwards, however, as you can see there are several players injured so that isn't a possibility (please ignore the redness around Nico Muir-Merchant a little bug there).

This is my pre-season of 2018-19  season doesn't look too pretty, however, my pre-seasons hardly ever do in my memory.

Thanks for reading and please any suggestions on improvements on posts would be appriciated either in dafuges community page on Steam or right here on the forum.

Makov's Challenge

Billericay Town F.C

Dynamics |  Finances | Schedule- Pt.1   Pt.2   Pt.3 | Squad |  Me

The League: our league season started very well and we managed to stay close to the top, but then, we had a bad patch of form which at points sent us fighting for our place in the playoffs. we started to pick our form back up and due to the other teams losing points here and there we managed to stick close to the top being only a few points away. in the last 16 games of the season we won 12 of them which still left it way too close for my opinion as it was 1 point between us and Solihull Moors entering the last game of the season, but we managed to get the result and guarantee promotion, for poor Sollihull moors they lost the playoff final vs Newport.

Transfers: our squad was not good enough for this league so a major haul had to be done, in the end, I have solidified our squad with most of our starting 11 by the end of the season were new players. most transfers were a success but the 2.3K on Pablo Martinez was the worst 2.3K I have ever spent.

FA Cup: this time the qualifying rouns went more smooth but Stoke city was just too good although I am proud that we pushed them to the end and the edge

Season awards: Liam Smith was brilliant for us, ruling the midfield. the weird thing is I only ever played 4-4-2 in this save so the TOTS formation is interesting.

Key players: 

Paul Woolston : He kept improving and he had some impressive saves this season unless I find someone exceptional, he will be our first choice keeper next season.

Bassala Sambou: the ex- Everton man was brilliant for us up front, scoring 30 goals and ending up the second top scorer in the league, hope he will bring his form to Sky Bet League Two.

Liam Smith: I think I said enough in the awards section.

Greg Taylor: was brought to cover our left back in September position and by the end of the season, he owned that LB position. he had a great season.

Callum Whelan: He had an immense partnership with Smith in the midfield and he was helpful in the defensive part of things too.

Charlie Scott: he was the rock in our defense covering up for my other defender's mistakes, played in 42 out of 46 league games this season. nothing more to say.

Sam Deering: He is playing way above his level, he had the third-highest average rating in the team.
Dayle Southwell: our assist king had a formidable partnership with Sambou up front.

 

Aaaaaaand........ the board is building a new Stadium which will probably murder our finances

[HighFlyingDwarf]

Getting on board the 4-3-3 bandwagon has proved profitable :-)

[wicksyFM]

im running a few tests on the costs of scouting. 

1. in september and so far my scouting costs have come in at £3544. i have one scout and he is scouting my division. The vanarama south/north. this is with the vanarama n/s package

2. scouted 1 player untill full knowledge the cost came in at £894. same divison as me vanarama north/south. no package.

3. september again and my 1 scout has been assigned to the league above.  the vanarama national. cost so far £4000. . with vanarama national and regional package

4. september again and my 1 scout has been out scouting a whole nation with no package selected.cost of £3200

I completely understand how scouting works. i just dont get why we pay for a package and then have to pay to scout within that package. 

 

by the way, attribute masking is enabled

[wicksyFM]

i have tested the scouting of 1 player again, but this time with attribute masking disabled. as some of you may know if you disable attribute masking, every player has a knowledge level of 80%. all you need to do is request a scout report and you will then have full knowledge when it is completed. this comes in at £67.

 

[Upside Down]

Well done  @makovn , you are absolutely dominating. Good luck in League Two although I am not sure you are going to need much luck.

I used it quite successfully in the last few versions of FM as well.  Last season i used an 4-3-3 assymetricAMR with a particular player. He has left so i have gone back to 4-3-3 with some success, it would be more if my strikers didn't miss so many CCC's.

[Upside Down]

I give up. My second attempt has ended with another issue with the save. The beta seemed so stable but now it has started failing me. Hopefully the full release is better.

Second season was all meant to be about optimism and looking to the future   -  Got a couple of months to get out of a jam but times are tough at Hednesford Town

[Hypanimz]

Hereford FC - Vanarama National - 2021/22

After promotion last season I was hopeful of survival whilst remaining optimistic we could have a comfortable season around mid table. We managed to exceed all of my expectations and have a season that was pretty similar to last season. We started with yet another great run winning 12 of our first 14 whilst drawing the other 2 before our first defeat. We bounced back strong and never had a bad spell. We won consistently and scored plenty of goals again. We smashed the previous record for goals by 40 and equaled wins total and points total records. We were never in danger of being caught and opened up a 8 point lead early and we eased to the title. Solid work on back to back league titles and hopefully we are strong enough to survive in League 2.
 

League Table

Past Positions

Cups - We made it to the 3rd round of the FA Cup for the first time but ended up against Liverpool who beat us 5-2 which was better than expected although they played a weakened squad. I tried to get knocked out of the FA Trophy early having won it last season so I played my backup players in every round but somehow we made it back to the final. We went on to lost 3-2 in the final to Macclesfield, not bad for what i consider to be my reserve team.

Squad - I've got some gems and managed to keep hold of  Browne and Sambou and built around them. The strike force in particular couldn't stop scoring again with all 6 of my strikers getting 14 goals or more as I rotated throughout the season.  

Finances - Thanks to the FA Cup run we ended up with over £600k left in the bank at the end of the season.

Transfers - Plenty of new faces but I put some into the under 18's for the future. Only a couple managed to nail down a regular starting position.  

Key Player Profiles:

Aramide Oteh - 39 goals in 42 appearances this season. Amazingly he wasn't our top scorer!

 Bassala Sambou - The main man upfront. 45 goals and 24 assists in 46 games. Now has 76 goals and 39 assists in 83 league games for the club.

Adam McDonnell - One of the new signings who managed to break into the squad.

Next Season

Survive.

Merthyr Town Season 2021/22 Report

League- Our aims for this season were to get promoted one way or the other, and we managed to go all the way and win the title! We were top of the table from week 4 onwards, constantly just a couple of points above the various teams challenging us. Our form was pretty inconsistent and we had some pretty embarrassing losses (especially away from home), but we definitely scored plenty of goals. We finished 1st for goals scored with 102, 11 more than second place but conceded only the 6th least amount of goals with 53. My strikers and wide players were excellent this season but the less said about some of my defenders the better. We wrapped the league up with a game to go as we smashed playoff contenders Hereford 4-0 at home then finished off with a nice 4-1 win over another playoff contender in Hemel Hempstead in the last match.

Cups- We finally had a good cup run! We beat Kings Langley, Grays, Barrow, Hereford and League 2 Hartlepool before being outclassed 2-0 by Championship side Fulham in the 3rd round. This helped our finances massively as just the Fulham match tripled our previous record attendance and gate receipts as well as bringing in plenty of TV money. The FA trophy saw us knocked out pretty early by Aldershot in a close game.

Finances- Much better due to our cup successes but still in the red.

Transfers- Our extreme lack of funds was evident this year so I pursued loans pretty intently and brought in some useful players. I also had every youth international from nearby countries that was without a club on trial and managed to find a few decent prospects that way. The best of them was probably Eddie Ellis, who I found in the depths of Northern Ireland under-20s and was my first choice right back this season. 13 in and 3 out overall.

Youth Intake- Our best one for a few years with two promising looking players.

Best Players- Most goals: Sean "The Welsh Maradona" Edwards- 31 This guy is incredible. Came through our youth intake in the first season and he just keeps getting better every season. Already the clubs record goalscorer and will be our first choice up front for some time to come. It's worth noting that I had 4 other players with 15+ goals this season.

Most assists: Chekaine Steele- 17 He breaks his own record again as our wide man continues improving.

Highest avg rating: Steele- 7.73 He breaks another of his own records.

Most POM: Steele- Steele- 10 And he grabs a trilogy of broken records for the second year in a row.

 

Next year- After 4 seasons we have finally been promoted which should send me up the leaderboard a bit @HighFlyingDwarf. Hopefully the next one doesn't take as long. Next year the first aim is survival but a comfortable mid table finish would be ideal. We really need to sign some better defenders in the off-season though, so i'll have my work cut out scouting over the summer again.

Well done Fadedaf

Congrats Fade!  Finally, a non-Billericay promotion!  (apologies to those other non-Billericay promotions I may have missed/forgotten about!)

Started strong. We have been absolutely mauled by Ebbsfleet and Hartlepool though, whether that's because our squad was still building match fitness or they're that much better than us I'm not sure.

Bottom line, I think we need a title promotion because we are nowhere near capable of winning via playoffs.
