Jogo Bonito Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Yes, good luck, that would be a massive achievement. Paris were rock bottom after no wins and three draws in their first nine games (they held me to 0-0) but have started to stir and now have a few more points after 11 games.

OlivierL Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) Thanks everybody for the kind word and support . Changed a few of my squad and progress views / calculations. Included average age for youth intakes and all my numbers are now calculated on / 100. And change my highest and lowest colour scheme. First team : < 45 = red , > 55 = green B / youth team : < 40 = red, > 50 = green Youth intake : < 35=red, > 40 = green Split my squad calculation into the units , i'll use this screen to organise my squad. Players in red will probably leave (loan finished or won't sign a new deal). The 'calculator first team' is the sheet i'll use to calculate. This are my new progress calculator for individual players and groups/classes. The first youth intake - Class of 2020 , developed a little bit on DNA, Mental and Phys. attributes. A little drop in technical attributes. Fabre is the best student at the moment. Edited May 30, 2020 by OlivierL 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i know, i didn't had any transfer or wage budget left , because i was way over my wage budget Since 15th of may i received my new budget and i upgraded my scouting budget.

OlivierL Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) Island of France - Une Ambition Capitale ! Season 1 - 2019-2020 A great first season ! Season 1 : Fixtures 1 - Fixtures 2 - Fixtures 3 - Finances - Season review - Squad stats - Competitions - Club Vision Ligue 2 My three main strikers are the top 3 goalscorers , proud ! we scored many goals this season. Fadiga scored 8 in Ligue 2. Coupe de France A good run and win against Lille. Coupe de la Ligue Could have done better but not our priority this season. Best players Kanté - Arrondel - Koziello - Sarr - Felipe Saad Kanté had a great season as our libero scoring 6 . He was our best player ! Arrondel scored 7 and provided 17 assists as a right wingback ! Free bargain. Koziello was our engine and will be missed (he is going to get chances in the first team of Kölin).. or maybe i can extend his loan ? Sarr was backup striker for Fadiga but ended up in the first 11 and scored 22 ! Felipe saad is an old central defender with a lot of experience.. he is the only squad player that won't extend his contract because he is homesick (Brazil). Manager thoughts Very proud of our first season. Media prediction 11/12 and automatic promotion makes me happy. The gamble to invest in a number of contract renewals and get two wingbacks with a fairly expensive contract has paid off. The financial balance looks negative, new wage/transfer budget will hopefully allow me to strengthen the squad. 5 Loan players of which one was in the base (Koziello ) will leave. one base central defender doesn't want to sign ( Felipe) . Three players from the b core will return from loan and will probably get their chance: defender Guillaume Victor , striker Marco Essimi and goalkeeper Christopher Dilo. Season 2 preview Improving the staff, improving the facilities and strengthening the core with three or four players should be enough to survive in Ligue 1 . The objective remains of course to continue to monitor and share the progress of certain players. And especially the youth intake classes. This is a good start !

OlivierL Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) Not planning on posting details about every transfer action i make , in the next season but because this is the first time i have to prepare our first team with limited resources , for ligue 1 . At the moment i lost my five loanies (inclusive Koziello, reloan not possible). And retired players Menez and Felipe Saad. I have 3 player on trial : Castelletto (ex Brest) - Faty (ex Ankaragucu) - Fomba (Ex nimes). the first two are possible free transfers, Fomba can be loaned from Nimes. I already loaned 3 players(more about them in my pre-season & transfer update) and need one more striker and one more central midfielder.

Jogo Bonito Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) You made a good decision playing Menez as a central striker (innovative thinking).

OlivierL Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 I can't control myself... I'm taking the Set Pieces attributes out of the technical calculation. That means "Corners", "Free kicks" , "penalty taking' and "Long Throws" go out of the technical attributes. This is more accurate. I also adjusted this in all the calculations of the first season.

Faty would be my best Ball winning midfielder and has a 'good' personality but i'm looking for a box2box or roaming playmaker since i lost Koziello. Fomba is doubtful because i have to loan him and i want to use my 5th and last loan option for a bargain at the end of august. Conclusion : i'll keep them for the moment and i'm going to decide in two weeks what i'm going to do with them. I have two other players on trial : Sissoko (ex St Etienne) - wbr and Benrahou (loan option from Bordeaux) - MC .

OlivierL Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) Island of France - Une Ambition Capitale ! Season 2 - preview Squad 13 from 23 players born in Ile De France ! Our Overall attributes rating improved. Average DNA not. Our positive personalities increased. Goalkeeper Maisonnial (3rd choice) replaced with Dilo ( back from loan). Retired Felip Saad replaced with expensive Castelletto. He was on trial after being released from Brest. Bah (b squad ) replaced with Oumar Solet (loaned from Lyon - no optional future fee) . Cissé (loan finished) replaced with Dramé (loaned from Lyon with future fee 250k) . Garcia (b squad) replaced with Sissoko ( loaned from Saint-étienne with future fee 1.25m). => I'm strengthened at the back. Solet and Castelletto are two Ligue 1 players. Golden boy Koziello (Köln sold him to Augsburg) was not replaced , couldn't find a good solution so Kikonda and Martin will have to step up ! Retired Ménez and loanies Mara , Timité are replaced with Essimi (B squad), Gouano (Loan from Lyon , no future fee) and Ayé ( loan from Brescia, future fee 2m!) Also transfer listed Lopez , he was a backup striker last season . => Not sure if my central midfield is ready for Ligue 1 but my front three should be ready ! We scored a lot of goals last season with Sarr, Ménez and Armand and i think Ayé and promising youth international Fadiga . Transfers in & out No changes . But both captains are on the bench.. so first choice Kikonda will be the captain on the pitch. Staff in & out Have found a lot of staff with a good mentality, some model Citizens . So here are a couple of changes : Found a 'model citizen' hoyd : Vandamme (ex Lens and Lille) . Two great goalkeeper coaches . Former USA Legend Brad Friedel and Luis Matos , also a model citizen. Signed a scouts and paris 2 manager with 'prof ' personality. Signed Kevin Hunt, model citizen scout.

Not going down should be the right challenge.. but i hope i can do a little bit more and keep improving the squad / youth intakes.
