MarcxD Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 November - December 2036 Continuing to do very well, especially in december. Decent performance in Europe, although Chelsea was obviously some ways ahead. Amazing to be in first halfway and a good lead. But there are some question marks, especially as we have not faced either Real Madrid or Barcelona yet! Actually, the first two league games of 2037 will be against them.. What a player he is turning into, after Escoruela the second player at the club to be named Golden Boy. The issue of low jumping reach and only being 177CM remains, but those mentals and that speed make up a hell of a lot. He is the first of my players to play for the senior Spanish national side! And he scored already. Value of 59M after the golden boy award... His limited fee is 120M, so not necessarily in danger of having to sell him.

MarcxD Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 January - February 2037 We've been doing very well, as we beat Real Madrid both in the league and in the cup. We've qualified for our first cup final! But in the end of february suddenly we seem to have crashed, with three poor performances in a row. Not exactly sure what's the culprit here, apart from some injuries. But we should be doing much better. We still have our top position and a lead, but we need to get back on track asap. I've not mentioned it often, but for quite a few years now every transfer period clubs come in with offers for my players. This is the biggest one I've got so far, for my first choice AML. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcxD Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 March - April 2037 + Youth Intake Had some troubles still but we managed to recover and had a strong april overall. We just managed to get past Porto, but we lost on away goals against Barcelona, our city rivals. Is it happening?! One problem - we face Real Madrid and Barcelona in the final month, but we could lose both those games and still grab the title. I've been lucky with the intakes, and this is the first one that is actually disappointing in a long while. There really doesn't seem to be much here. I think also the first Andorran in an intake, in the nineteenth! That took a long time (my manager has Andorran nationality). Not to mention he's very bad. Decent enough and a good personality means this is probably the only real highlight of the intake. Mentality and position not good, but there'll be time to see if he can change. Some decent attributes show some promise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcxD Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 Season Review 2036-2037 What a season this was. Our first one in the renovated upgraded stadium, and filling it with relative ease. 9 of the eleven first XI from Sant Andreu! And not even Ferran Cos, who has not had the best run in the second half of the season. Luckily there was Carles. Even rated higher by my coaches now, note the similarities between him and Cos! Same positions, same weakness with regards to length and jumping reach. Even so, Cos was still named best talent of the year. Best GK and the THREE best players were all from Sant Andreu as well... Just a big shame Gerard will miss most of next season and will need to recover. The central defensive position isn't the best stocked, so that will hurt us for sure. And there's still so much room for improvement in the squad. The best XI of all time is a bunch of nonsense. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcxD Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 Pre-Season 2037 Of course my goal will be to go for the title again, and CL quali will be the bare minimum. I also hope to be able to do something of note in the CL, with some luck hopefully in the draw(s). Nothing of note. A training camp in South Africa went quite well, with a bunch of games to get the player ready for fitness and up morale. Not exactly the easiest group imaginable, but we should be able to advance.

I always like to see former players turning into managers. I quite like current Ajax manager Dusan Tadic Cazorla has now been sacked though Other notable players turned manager: Dirk Kuyt is current Liverpool manager (after 10 years at Spurs), Thierry Henry manages Napoli, Van Bronckhorst is at Marseille, Gattuso is at Schalke, Antonio Valencia is now managing... Valencia Nainggolan is at Benfica, Seedorf at Monaco, Fabregas at Nice, Miroslav Klose at Stuttgart, Griezmann at Crystal Palace (!), Rashford at Bournemouth..., Jonny Evans at Watford, Xavi at Osasuna, Evra at Troyes, Delph at Cardiff, Daniel Alves at Boulogne, and perhaps others I missed.

MarcxD Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 January 2038 Fantastic month in the league, no other way to describe it, but disappointing to go out of the cup already. No defense of that trophy or the double then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcxD Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 February - March 2038 Dropping some points here and there and lost again to Barca in the league, but we also had some very strong performances (4-0 away at Atlético!) and we managed to get past Bayern after a great second leg! Still agonizingly close in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcxD Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Youth Intake 2038 Looking quite good! Surprising to see the highest rated player be a Serbian, as I have no Serbian staff or affiliate club. Just random from our extensive youth recruitment I guess. Definitely a lot of work to do if he wants to get a spot in the first team, AML or really any other attacking position is at a very high level. Length, jumping reach and heading combines for some worrying stuff for a central defender. Think I'll try retraining him to a defensive midfielder, a position that I really need strengthening for anyway. Apparently the best from the lot as far as my HoYD is concerned, but his determination and unambitious personality are worrying, not only does his determination likely hurt his development, that's terrible for a midfield role. Not too bad. Maybe too small, even for a left back. There's definitely something here if he can grow a little bit further than the current predicted potential ability.

MarcxD Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 April - May 2038 April was long and hectic but while there were some meh games in the end, we did very well and got the points. Especially important against Real Madrid! Also managed to beat Spurs, which is always nice... May was harder and when it came down to the end I was afraid we were going to come short for the league title. Sadly we did fail to make it to our first European final. But no worries, as we won the title on the final match day. Second in a row! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcxD Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Season Review 2037-2038 Very strong season again, overall, with only a slightly disappointing run in the cup to mar it. A good season for Carles, especially in the Champions League. With his value rising up to the 70s I decided to give him a new contract as his old limited fee was 'only' 100M and all the big clubs in Europe were listed as wanting him. His new release fee is 162M and if any club wants to pay that they can have him. Once again I find the best eleven of all time nonsense, where even is Escoruela, the all time topscorer? Or Asensio, with more than 500 appearances... No it's more important to still show players like el Harrak and Muñoz whose heights were in the Tercera and Segunda B. 20 seasons in, and two Liga titles. No CL yet, and that is going to be the main goal for now. Alongside the squad building and developing of course. No plans of stopping any time soon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcxD Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Some more players I've not really shown yet Key central defender for a few years now, very decent pure defender. No tiki taka BS here. Flair of 2! For most of the season this was his partner. Much more technically gifted, and only 17... Does not have the adaptibility to 100% adapt to the central midfield role, but still a very strong player and only 18. Should be key for years to come. Pretty much the only left back in the first team squad. No real competitors, which is why he made the most appearances last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcxD Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 Pre-Season 2038 Fourth-choice central midfielder Koné was sold as he was in his last year of contract and talents are coming up. 11M is a nice sum, biggest sale so far actually. I could've made quite a bit more money, but no way am I going to sell Carles. Good opening run against foreign opposition.

Now that a lot of my players are realistically able to play for the national team it should be interesting to see if I can win some trophies. For sure I will give my Sant Andreu players many caps.

Didn't go overboard with the selection of Sant Andreu players yet but I'm planning on taking more in the qualifiers. But first the Nations League semi final. Should've won it, but Germans are going to be Germans and score at the end of the game. At least a Carles goal. We dominated the match for 3rd place as well, but lost again.
