Guest Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Quarter final draw Good draw that. Think we'll win. I'm not underestimating them but I do believe us to be a superior side. Overall the 2 teams that most worry me are Once Caldas and Independiente Santa Fe. Thinking Santa Fe will reach the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 So the Hexagon Challenge is basically the Pentagon Challenge but with added Databases to include Oceania. I'm also adding Egypt and Costa Rica into this to make things interesting. My first club... I had job interviews from AS Dragon (also Tahiti) and El Sharqiya (Egypt). I ultimately went with AS Pirae to have less expectation than AS Dragon and to begin at baby steps instead of going for the higher repped CL first in the CAF Champions League.

Guest Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 The beginning So after 8 months of offseason, we finally begun. First of, it holds a similar points format to the CFA. 4 points for a win, 2 for a draw, 1 for a loss. Stupid to have 1 point a loss in my opinion. Just give 0. Either way its irrelavent as all teams are applied to the same rule of course. We're in third, this has been our matches so far. I won't do this every time, so you can expect inconsistency from this thread, but I'll do my best to make each reach enjoyable. AS Piraé 2-0 AS Arué We won deservedly and they hardly threatened. Ludivion our forward with 2 goals. Getting off to a good start is always nice and especially at home so I'm quite happy with this win. Not much else to add really. AS Manu Ura 5-2 AS Piraé Probably should have lost 7-0 to be fair. The defence was nowhere and we got few shots but managed to take 2 of our chances. They had 5 clear cut chances and hit the woodwork 5 times, which to me may be a new record. I'll have to get used to shit defences as I can't see this being the last time we get played outside the park. AS Piraé 4-3 AS Central Sport Another game of poor defences but at least we got the win here. We have to make our home a fortress because I'm feeling that away games will be awful. Next up, our tactics As you can see, we don't have an assistant. I blame that on the fact that our former assistant decided to fuck off on his own and we couldn't afford anyone else, so I'm on my own here. Basically I have 2 pacy forwards so we're going to long ball it to the poachers to beat the offside trap and help us bag some goals. Its a very basic tactic but there's not much I can do with a bunch of amateurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 End of season Its the end of season, and it was up and down really. Some good moments, other bad ones. One ending to forget however, that's your spoiler right there. After the Dragon game, we've had some poor form but we got it back as soon as I moved Aussu to left back. We just magically began playing well again. Unfortunately it still wasn't enough to beat AS Dragon in the next 2 games. We got AS Dragon in the playoff as we finished 4th and them 1st. Unfortunately, it wasn't something I wanted as they beat me 3 times in the season all by a 3 goal deficit. Jean Ludivion was our top scorer with 27 goals, joint top scorer of the league actually. The tactics worked quite well but when it most mattered it let us down. That was obviously against AS Dragon. Speaking of them, our game against them went like this We lost 3-1, so yeah a bad ending to the season. We prepared well and did our best but we couldn't stop the Steevy Chong barrage as all his shots went in. Chong was the forward who played in the Confederations Cup in 2013. He's lethal in this league unfortunately and we couldn't stop him from scoring 3. So I'm not in the OCL next season, what does this mean? Well, honestly I can't see where we'll beat Dragon. The best players won't join unless we are in the final, so I'm going to take my talents elsewhere. I try to have patience in FM, but I was only taking a gamble here to try and get in the OCL. There are a few jobs that interest me but I'll give it a wait until there is one that really is convenient enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 The Aim Win the champions league of course. This is a long term save I have started a few days ago and I want to firstly win the Swedish league a couple of times and win the UCL. I don't just want to win it by fluking my way to the final though, I want to win it with great players and create bonds with them as well as the team itself. I'm looking to create an unforgettable group of players as well as many different generations similar to what I had at Temuco. What has been done so far? The first 2 seasons have been played and they were a bit rushed as I really wanted to start the building. I've had a few players like Ivan Rossi who I signed from River but are now gone. I'll introduce my squad shortly but I'll introduce the actual players based on their monthly performance. Squad As you can see, the process has really begun. A lot of U21 players. Lucas Paqueta I've had since the start. I signed him on loan from Flamengo and was able to loan him again the following 2 seasons. A few regens like Saito and Ramos and overall I try to have a balance between middle aged and young players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,369 Posted February 5, 2018 Administrator Share Posted February 5, 2018 get a parent club from one of the 5 big European leagues if you can. Youngsters from their squads will help your cause no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Just now, Stan said: how far you get in Europa League? Will take a while to get winning the CL!! I went as far as the second round last season losing to Horsens. Drew away and bottled the home leg. This year I want to get to the groups - as long as I don't get someone silly like Ajax in qualifying. Yeah it will take a long time but if I get into the save I have the patience for it. I did it with Temuco where it took me 40 years to win the Libertadores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 March and April Some flaws in the opening month but overall 3 wins and a draw in 7 is a satisfying start to the season. Our top scorer was new signing Juan Castillo, while Minori Saito linked up well with the attack. He also happens to be a new signing. Anyhow, the Norrkoping is the only match where I felt I couldn't do anything. They just charged right at us and scored every shot in sight. It was stupid, but the other games I felt I made an impact. My only REAL complaint these 2 months is the home game vs Hammarby, which I felt we bottled. 8th in the table but still 6 points behind first, 3 behind second. No complaints from my side! Also note Marensson has the most yellow cards. That's a problem. I signed him as my ball winning midfielder and he's excellent but we've played 7 and he's gotten a yellow in every game he's played. I have no natural backup either, so something must be done. Player of the month I know this won't be just one month done but you get the sentiment. I signed Juan Castillo on 500K from Chelsea's reserves and he's been really good. I play him on the left as an advanced playmaker on support and he's stepping up when we need him. A tad inconsistent at times but overall he's had a great start to life at the club especially without the presence of injured Lucas Paquetá.

Guest Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 May What a month! Only lost 1 game and came back from 2 goal deficits twice. Against Elfsborg and Djugardens IF. Juan Castillo's form has gone down a bit but now Vinicius has really stepped up in the striker role. Scoring important goals and scoring general goals. Doesn't matter the context, he's been scoring - that simple. The only loss in this month pissed me off though against Jonkopings Sodra IF where we really fell apart. Really good month otherwise. Player of the month - Per Frick Per Frick is another new signing (yeah it was a clear out in the winter) and he's really clicking in that box to box role I've put him in. He also played as a central midfielder automatic and got a 9.0 in that specific match. He's been better than Vinicius who is a close second for this month, but Per takes the cake here.

Guest Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Summer Terrible month. The beginning of august was actually OK, but July and June were awful as was the end of August. We drew 1-1 at home and only beat Angelholms on penalties. They are in the THIRD tier. That's unacceptable. Granted, we did have an injury crisis with Juan Castillo and Lucas Paqueta injured for most of the month, but we should do a bit better go grind results. We simply haven't done enough. My aim is 3rd now. Hammarby have run away with it while Elfsborg still have 2 games in hand. Perhaps if I get a bit lucky I can clinch second, but the aim has to be third place. Player of the 3 months: Charlie Adam A player who I believe needs no introduction. He's at a 7.36 average rating and has hit the ground running his joining. 4 goals and 2 assists in only 2 months is quite good. Hopefully he can keep on performing and I can hold onto him to have another veteran on the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Juventus wanted Effendi, my Dutch center back. I changed the offer to make it a loan, now he'll develop excellently. Bloody beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 A few updates in point form - Milan took Effendi from me a year later. Board sold him so there was nothing I could do. FFS - Still haven't won the league but I'm getting ever closer. - Have a few young players which I'll post on here shortly. - Most recently signed Axel Tuanzebe from United on a free.
