Late to pick friends up from the airport because I forgot to shower because I was playing this all morning this game is a sickness
So my good CB's contract ends in 18months. I won't/can't pay him his demands for a new deal(My top earners are 20 then 15k/w, he wants 44) Told him I'd accept any bids of at least 48, Bayern is interested and he wants them. Bayern, because they're Bayern, have submitted a non-negotiable deal after some back and forth of 23.5 up front, 6mil in the next year over two payments, and 6.5mil after 20 games played. I'd also get 25% of next sale. I'm going to take it, I just hate that it feels like I'm missing out on money despite no one offering more.
Sold a bunch of people off. Bought that 6’5 Brazilian forward I mentioned. Only signing I made and only signing I will make. I have 5 youth academy products that are first team ready. Sold one to Wolfsburg for 33 million. it’s time to get a rep for having an elite youth system
My goalie who broke his arm last season just broke his wrist in the opening game We 4-1. Norwegian wonderkid is 5-8 weeks away. This could be a challenge
Not even going to share my youth intake. There's one highly rated FB, but he's like 5'4. I'll be big sad if next season's intake is below a 3*
This was the one that my old HOYD had got. I made the change after I got the last preview. So hoping that next season when the new guy has had basically a full year of scouting he can get a good class
Bosnian dude officially took back his transfer request and just signed a new deal for 18 million a year with a 600 million dollar release clause I wish I knew what his CA number actually is just to see it
January 2031 4 points up on Barca in first in La Liga, have 4 youth academy kids getting regular minutes and just got my first youth intake preview of an “A” rating of 4 different position groups I think all that work into youth recruitment is about to pay off. I have a 16 year 6’1 winger already worth 35 million as well I’m not fucking leaving Espaynol folks
Finally won the Spanish super cup for the first time and now have every Spanish trophy I can possibly get
May 2030. Season just ended and the team got 5th. Going to Europa next year. The Colombians are kicking up a fuss about wanting to leave to play in a better squad, so I'm sure I'll have a headache to deal with on each this summer. No chance at re-signing them, so I think I'll need to sell. Last handful of games I shifted to a stud Icelandic GK I signed last summer, and he looks like he will be good. Worked out great considering I'm letting the GK I've used since season 1 walk(Never was going to meet his demands, then Athletico came in and offered him ). I also started using an academy CM and CB(American) towards the end of the season, as well as the another taking over the 2nd striker spot. Overall 5 of my first 11 are academy products. Despite failing in 2/3 competitions, board is very happy with me. I have a lot of transfer money thanks to the big January sale, so I bumped my wage budget up to 400k/w. Likely going to try and find a young CM considering there's going to be a lot of games with Europa League.
Naples has offered me the job. They're a fucking wagon right now. Going to make a separate save, and continue with what I got, but they're wild. They've won Serie A 4 of last 5.
Right. And if I was to not win the league one year I'd likely get sacked. Mostly keeping the save because that front 3 of Sesko, Roony, and Kvara would be fun
I typically only leave a club I’m rebuilding to move onto a fallen giant that isn’t rich and isn’t in the CL When I moved to Liverpool and saw they had 600 million in the bank and were gonna give me a budget of 200+ a year I instantly got bored
Fired back up my juve save. My ridiculous forward had 8 goals in an 8-1 win over some bottom of the table shit. Says it broke a serie a record of 6 goals set in 1933. I think he's scoring a goal every 38 mins and already has like 44 goals in league play off 17 starts and 7 appearances off the bench.
Yep think I just got the best intake I’ve had in years of FM There’s also a Dutch DM prospect named “Tim Vennegoor of Hesselink” I wonder if it’s an Easter egg or something
I really hate the “so and so is lacking in match fitness and may struggle to see out the match do you want to proceed?” Shit Like yeah I fucking know, I’m starting him to get his fitness up you idiot
April 2031 Been a terrible year for injuries which is wild considering I finally improved my medical team to the best in the league Down to my 3rd choice left back who is really a right back. Just lost 1-0 to Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final. Got eliminated by Inter in the first playoff rounds of champions league back in Feb. 5 points up on Barcelona with 6 games left
September 2030, Transfer window is closed. Amazingly, held onto the Colombians. Nobody came in for the wingback, so his promise was fulfilled. The striker had every big team under the sun being interested, but none of them formally bid, and I was able to decline the only actual offer with no issue from the player. I moved on from the striker who I'd had since season 1. He isn't as good anymore, wants to play more, and I have too many better young strikers. He brought in nearly 10 mil with chance at another couple. I only signed 1 first team player. Young French international who had a relegation release clause with Havre, and they just went down. Might have been a slight overpay(11.75), but I was wanting to add a younger CM and it felt like a good opportunity to get a possible French international Spoiler Europa schedule doesn't look bad. Obviously going to have some tough matches though Spoiler Played 6 league games so far. Won 3, drawn 2, lost 1. Loss was @ Nice who scored a late winner. I've leaned into a few young attackers that have come through the academy, and this one snuck through and has been very good so far in the DLF spot Spoiler: Pinau
Pretty much bottled the league to Barcelona this year. My star Norwegian striker missed 5 months of the season combined from two different injuries and still scored 12 league goals No doubt I would have won if he was healthy most injuries I have ever had in an FM season
Had as many points as I did last year and Barcelona won the league by 3 My Norwegian dude just tore has calf muscle again on the last week of the season. That’s two torn calf muscles and a broken collarbone in the last 11 months for him. this is the most frustrating season of injuries, feel like I need a break from the game or to move on from Espaynol after this so fucking annoyed
Man U just triggered the 131 million dollar release clause of my star 22 year old midfielder and he won’t go to the table for a new contract with me I am spiraling out of control rn boys La Liga just dropped to the 4th best league in Europe
Yunus Musah just handed in his transfer request because I refused to bump him up from squad player to regular starter Ajax has a 21 year old who is about to be the best CB in the world in the next two years who I can get which would allow me to move A CB I’d rather play at DM to DM and I could work with it he’s only slightly interested though we are a mess
I went rock climbing and then to yoga class and I feel refreshed and ready to try and tackle this challenge
Took that payment and found this guy to be my next stud CB Spoiler I couldn't get him to sign in Summer because he had just signed a new contract. Kept a scout on him and when the reports indicated he was open to the move, I triggered his release clause. He will be my new highest earner, but only barely(23k/w)
Citeh just bought 23 year old Lamine Yamal for 255 plus another 100 in add ons the biggest transfer I have ever seen
I’ve gone full sicko mode out of anger and spent 160 million on 2 transfers this year. I’ve never spent more that 52 in an entire window up to this point
Got to sell the Norwegian. Get as much money for him now as you can before those injuries stack up and he really starts dropping.
I was considering it a lot as Liverpool announced interest in him but his injury has taken him out the whole summer and no one wants him unsure if I should just list him or not
Can't list him until he comes back from injury, because like you said, no one will be interested. But once he comes back, list him but play him sparingly. Like he's your CdR striker or something. That way he can showcase himself, while it limits his injuries. And you get to integrate your next striker more
Former U19 head coach is now the head coach of Fulham and makes 750k a year more than me this cannot stand
I got to beginning of December. I won’t lie after having 2-3 crops intakes in a row I wasn’t gonna take less than a B intake. First was was a C so I save scummed and the second one was a potential golden class I don’t like doing it, but when so much of my job hinders on my academy/developing I couldn’t go with another weak intake.
November 2031 I am one trophy away from becoming club legend in my 9th season I will probably be resigning or looking for a new job in another league once this season is done
it’s just boring, the same players keep having the same injury issues, I keep losing or drawing at Valencia, Villarreal, and Barcelona away and home against ATM no matter how many changes I make and outperforming them on xG in all games just seems like the same shit keeps happening and it’s not fun anymore. Gonna see if there’s a EPL team that hasn’t won anything in awhile and try to bring them back. I’ve taken Espaynol as far as I can I think
problem with those saves is after a while I’ll just move onto another non sports video game I just wanna become a glory hound mercenary and chase a champions league trophy now
His value was huge last summer, it's now January 2031 and he appears to be available for <250k Feels like a tarp
Will Still has been there for 5 years and hasn’t won shit and is finally on the hot seat as he has spurs 15th in December of 2031 When I’m done with Espaynol I’d love to go to a big club with a great academy but shit finances and bring them to glory with youth
Tough to say the state of things in 2031 in your particular save. Any clubs stick out that fit the bill?
December 2031 up on RMD for first on goal difference, next game is me hosting them Bosnian god is now 23 going on 24 and having his best season for me by far. Haaland and Rico Lewis are actively recruiting him to Citeh in public and he wants the move. Window opens in ages days
Man U want my star 5’4 wingback who leads the league in assists and AC Milan want Lambourde The shithawks are coming
Rejected citeh’s offer and told the Bosnian I’d sell him in the summer if he’s not happy with our champions league performance this is officially the last dance folks
