shaunvamos Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 2023/24 Preseason A positive preseason, getting a better result than we are used to against Basel U21s. Predicted last, but anything better than that and I'd be suspicious. Transfers No idea why Nwakali was bought by a top division team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunvamos Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 2023/24 Mid Season Break Update What an amazing start to life in the 3rd division! Started off with an impressive win, followed by 7 games without a win, before our first ever win against the Basel U21s side which kicked off an awesome 7 wins in 8 games! Safety is looking very, very possible, we could even push for the top half! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm instant resulting, then looking at all the statistical analysis as well as the goals. Despite constantly being predicted to lose, against teams rated better than us we have created 49 clear cut chances in 34 games and faced 29, so whatever I'm doing it's working Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunvamos Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 2023/24 Season Review I have no words. An unbeaten 2nd half of the season as well as a drop in form for the team leading the at the winter break meant we rose to the top with a game to go, and a nervy final game resulted in back to back promotions! Best Eleven Lorenz Oertli 4D João Dias 3G* - Trésor Endzanga 3F - Betim Kllokoqi 3A - Giovanni Simeone 2G - Killian Braud 2C Yunus Koc - Edon Basha - Georges Amrein 4B Dario Fabbro 3C - Mauro Spano 4A Next Season Honestly, if we don't lose every game I'll be very surprised. We are losing our best player in Spano, and his partner Fabbro refuses to sign either. That may change, but I don't see that happening. Our midfield will be bolstered with some f our young players reaching eligibility, but it will be a tough slog. Progress Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunvamos Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 2024 Winter Break Update I was worried we weren't going to win a league game at all! We lost our only decent midfielder Georges Amrein 4B to Luzern on a free so it was downhill from there. If it wasn't for Winterthur we'd be in serious trouble. It will be a nervy second half of the season, and I'm really looking forward to our youth intake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 2025 Youth Intake An excellent intake, we get one, potentially two immediate starters in midfield, and also a couple of decent looking strikers where we are also lacking. He will be signed ASAP. Also plenty there, but will have to be tutored. Another tutor job, as well as retraining as a striker, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 2024/25 Season Review In what was the single worst seasonal experience I have ever had in any edition of this game, it's finally over. And we somehow stayed up. We were a class below everyone, yet we still stayed up. I hope next season is a little better, although I don't want to get my hopes up. We really were bad, and I think we got promoted far too quickly. Best Eleven Lorenz Oertli 4D João Dias 3G* - Betim Kllokoqi 3A - Giovanni Simeone 2G - Trésor Endzanga 3F - Killian Braud 2C Davor Mrdesa - Dino Keller 6B - Yunus Koc Philipp Degen 1D - Flamur Camaj 1H Progress Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunvamos Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 2025/26 Winter Break Update We haven't really improved since last season, and we've lost our best defender (prospect 3A), and most of our players are still considered decent for the 4th division, so we could be exceeding expectations? 8th is definitely possible, but last is just as likely. As long as we beat both Bellinzona and Cham we should be okay. But that's a big if. This next intake better be amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just. Best Eleven Lorenz Oertli 4D João Dias 3G* - Trésor Endzanga 3F - Ilija Vlahovic 3E - Giovanni Simeone 2G - Killian Braud 2C Tim Meyer 7A - Dino Keller 6B - Patrick Damm 7B Edis Avdukic 6A - Elmar Feist 3D Next Season This will be a very interesting season.

shaunvamos Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 2026/27 Mid Season Review I honestly have no words. I made a slight tweak in the tactics to make us more attacking and our results changed. We are in range of 8th, but 1st is also not far away either. It's amazing what a few good players in recent intakes can do for the team. We've also had multiple injuries to key players throughout the first half and still we aren't struggling.

This was also nice: Lorenz Oertli 4D Jorge Guimarães 5B* - Cyril Hottelier 5C - Giovanni Simeone 2G - Trésor Endzanga 3F - Killian Braud 2C Dino Keller 6B - Tim Meyer 7A - Amadou Candé 8A* Cyril Holenweger 8B* - Edis Avdukic 6A Next Season Plans Hopefully we can build on this season and maybe challenge for promotion?

shaunvamos Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 2027/28 Mid season Update Yeah, look. I don't know. We don't know how to hold on to the ball (last in possession and passing percentage), yet we are winning the league by 14 points. I really am lost for words as to how that's possible. That being said, having watched some matches, all the possession for the opposition is just them waiting for us to crumble, and it obviously isn't happening. Just thank God for Holenweger, who's scored 13 in 15. Can we keep this form up? I think it'd be pretty hard to lose it from here, although stranger things have happened.
