    March 2032 I’m 1 point behind Real for La Liga and I’m in the Copa del Rey final

    Yanited are broke and have a top 5 academy

    they’re barley mid table and losing patience with Van Nistelroy

    have won one trophy since my save started and that was just the carabo cup

    this could be the one

    I will not leave until I’m a club legend though

    Using their youth set up to try and unseat Bayern with regens could be fun ngl

    Won the Copa del Rey for the third time

    that is 6 trophies I’ve given them and still not a club legend

    Van Nistelrooy fired by Yanited

    they have a top 5 academy, finances are just ok, they have only won one carabo cup and nothing else since my save began and their academy has produced a world class potential American wonderkid

    They also have Endrick and my star German wonder kid midfielder I was gonna build a champions league threat around at Espaynol

    Espaynol’s last ditch effort to keep me at the club is insulting

    I have like 70% of your trophies in club history and you want me to be the 5th highest paid coach in the 4th most respected league!?

    I spit on that. I’m off to Yanited folks

    I swear sometimes this game cheats and makes up injuries

    “your young star midfielder slipped a disc lifting weights today and will be out 6-8 weeks” then I look at the training schedule and that day all we had was a recovery session and set piece routine work

    save scumming is good and just

    Does anyone else use multiple tactics/formations depending on the situation of competition?

    I have a 4231 DM wide attack focused tactic based on Dortmund era Klopp I call drone metal and a weird 433 DM wide high temp short passing tactic with an inverted wing back that I call acid jazz

    typical use acid jazz against teams I know I can push around because I use a high back line on it

    I have generally done it that way, current save I have basically one formation(4-1-3-2) with a slight variation to it for when I’m a clear favorite(4-3-3 w/ a DM and 3 strikers. Shifting CM to ST)

    First intake at Yanited is just ok but the one elite talent I got is maybe one of the best keeper prospects I’ve ever seen so I’m excited about that one

    I’m sure man u’s club reputation being in the shitter is affecting the intake

    I’m currently in 3rd place in march of 2033

    won the carabo cup, got smoke by west ham in the fa cup fifth round

    probably gonna win the conference league

    My first couple saves I stuck with one tactic and just changed players. Now I mostly do that, but I run a 4-2-3-1 attacking, or I change it to a 4-1-4-1 and throw a DM on if I think the opposition demands a bit more defensive focus

    it is with great pride that I announce, in my first season at Yanited I have won the rare Carabao Cup/UEFA Conference League double



    I also finished second in the prem. Arsenal are a god damn machine.

    Atletico beat out Espaynol on goal difference for La Liga

    they’re cooked without me

    I feel like the fun in this game doesn’t really start until most of the players are regens

    January of 2034 and I’m in first in the prem and already have two 1-0 wins at the Emirates and at the Eithad. Squad is buzzing but Garnacho is a cunt and I can’t wait to unload him. He has the hates big matches trait and selfish player traits and so when I use him he just does hero ball shit that looks pretty until he chooses to shoot instead of pass and misses the target by five yards

    I told him I only see him as a squad player and he threw a fit and wants to leave. I listed him but the previous regime put him on a 600k a week wages so no one wants to touch him. I might move him to the u21 squad if his attitude in training doesn’t change.

    Also Nagelsmann is at West Ham and fucking owns me he is 3-1 against me since I took the United job

    Approaching the end of the season. Three games remaining(at 8th, vs 14th, vs 7th). Currently in 4th place, 2 points behind 3rd, 4 points ahead of 5th.

    Couple games ago was PSG(H). Was down 2-0 and scored in the 92nd and 94th :laugh:

    Made it to Round of 16 in Europa and lost to Young Boy 3-2 on agg. Lost 2-0 at home, won 2-1 in Switzerland.

    upload_2024-2-2_8-51-14.png

    My top 3 players are all wanting new deals(3-4x my current top earner)/wanting to play in stronger squads. So this offseason will likely be end of the road for both Colombians and the Eastern European CM, with the right fullback/wingback that will be the most difficult to replace. I'm also contemplating moving on from the French King, because that fuck is awful in games despite his ratings being good as hell.

    New stadium is done in ~2 months. Just got the club to upgrade the training facilities and now both first and youth team facilities should be Superb rating. Board gave me a 4 year extension. Things are hummin

    Czech CM should be headed to Villareal(who are really good).

    I signed him for 81k compensation.

    2 seasons for me.

    50m up front. 15m spread over next 2 years. 25m after 5 league appearances. 15% of next transfer

    Colombian striker who was entering last year of contract heading to Milan. He wouldn't sign + I couldn't afford what he wanted.

    Signed for 1.8mil

    Played 3.5 seasons for me. Scoring 49 goals.

    45 mil up front. 25% sell on.

    112mil total sold(with another 40+ to come). My fullback hasn't had a sniff of interest, and that's fine. His contract runs for another 4 years. I cannot find any players I like for the life of me

    Getting into the start of 2031-32 season. Finishing 4th doesn't get me a spot in CL proper.

    3rd round I beat Hajduk Split 4-1 on agg.
    Now I have Feyenoord standing between me and a lot of money.

    Luckily my board is happy that I just made it to this point, so anything from here is great. Now I can get my younger guys a lot of games which should hopefully help
