First of all, sorry if there's any mistake in my english, I'm trying hard to be (at least) better than google translate.

Welcome to my first manager story, as you can see on the title, I am going to challenge myself on the one of the "hardest" league in football manager (because of reputation, blah blah blah..), I will start from the bottom, and hopefully, not only success for my club, but also bring the Indonesia NT to World Cup.. again.. well, if you count Dutch East Indies in '38 as Indonesia..

So, a quick review about Indonesia and their league.. they're ****. I mean, what is the nation that have a better U19 than their senior team? We tried to naturalize our Indo-Dutch players and foreigners who continuously stay in Indonesia for 5 years, and still beaten by our all-homegrown-player neighbor, Malaysia, in AFF Cup. The league itself has 5 big teams, Arema, Sriwijaya, Persipura, Persib, and Persija. But the league is quite competitive ('sup SPL), there's some other team that is pretty good, like PSM, Persebaya, etc.

The league had a dualism, so if you see two teams with same name (like Persebaya and Persebaya (LPIS)) the one with the word "LPIS" is counted as illegal team (yep, we have 2 leagues with same division 2-3 years ago, it is like having 2 Liga BBVA in Spain).

Next one, Indonesia NT, we went to World Cup 1938 while under the occupation of Dutch (or Holland?, or Netherland? honestly I don't know which one should be used, so, yeah..), and destroyed in the first round by Hungary. After independence in '45, there nothing really big apart from Gold in SEA Games..

That is my "quick" review about Indonesia's football. Next update will be up in 6-7 hours..



PS: GMT+7 might be my only problem here ^^)
 
Team Picking and Transfers

Some said, picking a team in Indonesia is ridiculously hard, almost 95% started with the letter "P" :P besides, you only able to use 5 foreigners in super league, 3 in in the premier division, and 0 in the first division.

Anyway, I loaded all of the playable asian nations (in case if i get promoted, i could get a decent, free non-indonesian player), and here we go..

Persikab hired a new manager

View attachment 355627
​

Why did I choose Persikab? First of all, they are playing under the shadow of Persib, while Persib enjoying a great success, Persikab just keep going downhill, year after year.


Since founded in '63 they only get 1 trophy. Facilities, terrible. Rivals, the range is too far between the leagues. Staff, ****. Players, almost hopeless.. But since Persikab only have a small size of squad, I can rebuild the team around my own tactic..


I like the formation with 3 defenders, so I made the exact same 3-4-3 I used in FM12 for FC United. On the transfers, I signed 16 players, and sold 3 players.

Next update, pre-season..

Pre-Season


View attachment 355591 View attachment 355590​

Well, nothing really big here, boring pre-season, seriously I have nothing to say. In the first 4 games I used an overly attacking tactic against big team, bad move.. Before the transfer window shuts, I signed 2 more players (not included in that SS) to cover my midfield.

The board expect us to cling on the mid-table, the media predicted us to ended as 6th in group A, but ****, if we could push for promotion, why not?

Since that pre-season went straight boring, I included the league results too. Our first 3 games...

Honestly I don't expect a win from this game, PSS just recently relegated and expected to win the promotion. But one thing that totally annoying me is that we leading 2-1 but throws the lead away and letting 3 goals in. What in the actual f- is that?

Renaldi Zaenal (the one with the kungfu kick in the pic), hard choice between him or Solihin, but since he scores more, I chose him for the current PotM.

December Update

****, I think I slept too much this morning, lol.

First of all, let me start with a big "DAMMIT!", he scored two screamer last month, and became an important part of the team since signed in the deadline day.

We attacked a lot, that finishing is still an issue, of course. But after Ruud Gulid (nice name btw) sent off, I have to pull Ade Solihin out and swap him with a CB, after that, we're struggling to go forward.

View attachment 355082
Ade Solihin (15', 31', 32') I. Hardiansyah (76')

Ade Solihin is a beast, nuff said. Ruud Gulid's suspension made my game harder since Holitman is slower than him.

I. Hardiansyah (45') Renaldi Zaenal (60') Suadi (70')

​
I tried to calm my player and wish them luck, since PSDS is another title contender.. and it completely backfires, lol. They get a 0-3 lead, thankfully my 2nd half team talk changed it, Suadi also scored in his debut.

Weeellll.. ****, two strikers out.. it means no subs except one guy that had an issue with me..
Indonesian Cup 1st rd drawing also took place this month, I will play against PS Bangka, a non-league team, nothing really big there..

Ade Solihin (white and green kit in picture), scored 4 in 3 games. Too bad he can't produce the goods in last match..

January Update

Bad news is, I can't use the PC yesterday, sorry for no update. Good news is, I've simmed this thing up to April 1st, yay. Another good news is, Hazard won Ballon D'or, Cristiano went 2nd, and Messi 3rd.

January came in, and straightly bash through my defense line. My main goalie is knocked out by a flu (what the f***, it is always hot here..) now there's only two GK left, an old one, 37 or something like that, and the young one, which had an issue with me (my players keeps getting an issue with me, lol)

I decided to choose my older goalie, we hit 3 goals in 7 minutes, a good start. But we failed to hold it, Faisal bailed us out there.

My goalie is a piece of sh*t. That 2 goals in 4 minutes in the closing of the game just destroy my team's morale, barely able to finish the game with 1 goal difference.


Pardon my french, but this game is a f-ing bullsh*t. 25 shots, 12 on targets, and we're beaten by a **** Aspirin (nice name though..)

..and a big thank you for injuring my ****** player.

All of my strikers deserve it, Renaldi Zaenal, Ade Solihin, and Faisal R., all of them being lethal this month, the second reason is because I can't find their real-life picture.​
 
First of all, I'm just simply too tired to do anything, although regularly open fmbase, I have no time to update this :@ I think I should do a bi-monthly update, so I could rush to the next season, or else..

3 DC (remember when I said my backline is just straight sh*t?), 1 MC (Nahumarury is aging, nuff said), and 1 ST (some of our strikers is misfiring, Noffarianto will definetly be a main striker. Solihin, Zaenal, and Faisal will compete for 2 position left)

Leg 1: R. Zaenal (41') R. Noffarianto (42')

Khokok's OG in first leg put me in doubt, and My GK sent off in second leg. But my tactic works again, overall I'm pretty happy with this.

Nope.

View attachment 349712 View attachment 349711

Last match, two guys down, Renaldi Zaenal is our worst loss. His partnership with Ade and Faisal is the best in the league. (Well, apart from Pesik's lone striker, the legendary Boy Jati Asmara, who outscore this three guys combined..)

"Hey dude, you're going to take Persikab to the top right? What about your contract?"

Wahedi is back, so I throw Noffarianto to the bench, and push Dippi to play up front. And it was worth it, but.. I'm afraid I've got some bad news..

Hang on there, buddy..

View attachment 349702

New face, everyone. Hard choice for this month, Irvan scored 3, Faisal scored 3 too, but they scored in the cup, which I don't really give a ****. Ade Solihin scored 2, but he lacks in consistency. So, I give Player of the Month to Dippi Yogaswara since he covered both MC and ST pretty well (he's a trialist once, ex-Persib, our rival fyi)​

OH. DEAR. LORD. WHAT DID JUST HAPPENED. Sweating my balls when I have to play against Sriwijaya without Ade Solihin, but Moniaga.. ****.. he came back to the first team and bashed their legendary CB (Maman Abd.) and GK (Ferry Rotinsulu). Gosh..

View attachment 347772

****, we get back to this position again, Wahedi injured again. 2 months, dear lord.. It means he can't play in the second leg, and technically he will end this season earlier, might be a big problem, since we're closely chased by Persiss and PSGL, 42 pts, 3 matches left. Come on.

F*** YOU SCHEDULING, MATCHMAKER, OR WHOEVER YOU ARE. 3 days is not enough to recover my players fitness. No Andhita, forced to use Imran Nahumarury, No Dippi, No strikeforce trio, Not even my best CB, Ruud Gulid. This is just purely awful to see, 3 goals in 10 minutes, Iwanto put a glimmer of hope but Auriqto exhaust our players way too far. Well, the only good thing is, I can focus on last 2 ****** league matches.

I honestly almost cried after Anwarudin scored, really. I throw Sopandi to the bench, put Bayu Andika up (the GK that I have a problem about), aaaanddd.. we still can't do anything. We can't shoot properly post-Ade's injury, 16 shots, and we can't score any of it..

View attachment 347734

We're destroyed after that Sriwijaya match, we lost our momentum, lost our main players, Persiss won and now at 47 pts, we have 45. PSGL, closely below us, they won and now have 43 pts.

April Update - Part 2

Again, another late update.. I get distracted too easily, watched too many Botchamania, lol. Another thing, my spacebar is still a problem. Anyway, a headnote, you could comment, suggest anything to get this story better, any question or something... don't be shy ;)

April Update - Youth Intakes


View attachment 347058

April 17th.. can you smell it? Smells like new leaves.. 2 best prospects there, sadly those 4 wingbacks will have to wait for some years.. and get sold for profit. Unless if they can train to MR pretty quick.. then we have no problem, hermano.

Q: "Wow, 2 guys with 5 stars potential? You found a real gem in this nation! Can we see his stats?"
A: Sure why not, but I have to aware you, they aren't exactly a world beaters..

View attachment 347057 View attachment 347056

The one on the left, stealing the first name from Pesik's striker, Boy Jati Asmara, he's smaller than me (my height is about 170 cm, lol.), 6 Determination, and 1 Balance. Train him under Andhita's tutor, might come in handy if someone break a leg (literally..). And the one on the right, a playmaker with sh*tty passing ability, will be a great addition considering Wahedi injured regularly, Dippi have to be a striker, and Nahumarury is considering retirement..

Oh yeah, one more thing, about that last post. I've found myself on a wrong timeline.. I thought it was one more match, but i just found out it was the last PSDS game is last one, so I edited last line in the last post, and there's two things I realised. One, when I wrote "2 matches to go", it was that IC 2nd leg and the PSDS game, sorry 'bout that. And the second, Persiss has 2 league games to play, and left me stranded with 45 pts, they went first in the group A.

But hey, this isn't only another "sorry for your inconvenience" post, there is also a happier tone in this post.

View attachment 347054

Yeah, spoiled this one in last post, lol. I thought i will make a great momentum by putting the league finisher with a win, thankfully we finished the season pretty well, predicted to be finished at mid table, 62 goals a year, for a rookie in tactic building, lol.

Q: "So, what happen if you finished 2nd?"
A: THIS.

View attachment 347050

We're pitted against another top 2 of another group, top 3 of this 2nd phase will get promoted, first place each group will face each other for the title.

End of Season

Pesik lost in the final, and Persemalra bring the First Division title home. Too bad we can't go to the final.

Both Iqbal and Irvan deserved it, Irvan had a good season and collecting 7.20 average rating, and 7 goals. Iqbal saved our **** too many times, but I hate to inform that he will not help us anymore next season, he keeps rejecting my contract offer. But good news is, I'm tracking a new goalie, so hopefully no more backline problem next season. Quite happy with this ToTS, although I wished for Ade's name there..

View attachment 346230

65 goals for the whole season. Just to assure you a bit, people, 3-4-3 is a beast... except for the defending part, lol.

View attachment 346223

Here's the makeshift team I built, that somehow works.. Sadly, 3 players will left this year, Yudas Ugu, Iqbal, and Andhita won't renew their contract, good luck for them in coming years (except for Ugu of course, he's 37, just retire already dude..). Ma'mun Sopandi will also left, he's sh*t, there's no reason I should hold for another season. And my striking trio, they'll destroy some more teams, I assure you.

1 GBP to IDR = almost 20k IDR, it means he almost get paid 5 millions IDR a week, a single ****** week. A bit overpaid there, but he's worth it, quite pacey. Too bad he can't perform well in the very last weeks since every defender just want to destroy his career..

One more thing, Riki P.S. injured for 6-7 weeks because of sports hernia, might going to bring back the old strikeforce trio, who knows?

Well, I didn't really expect us to score 7 goals, especially when it is against PSIS, they are pretty well known, I'm quite surprised there. Ade-Zaenal-Faisal combination might be put on hold for now.

That Seto Nurdiantoro guy supposed to be retire already, he's 40 and somehow still playing.. Oh well, we're robbed there, again, 26 shots and 13 on target wasted..

Ade S. (36', 62') Faisal R. (80', 81')

Finally, a game where both the attacks and defense play well, too bad Noffarianto can't score, again.. Watch out buddy, there's Zaenal, Riki, Dippi, and Moniaga waiting for you to make another mistake.

Nova A. (35') Faisal R. (40', 59', 67') R. Zaenal (42')

Well, I blame my defender's ability to trackback, they're waaaaaaayy too slow. There's not a single defender in this league that have more than 11 for acceleration.

November PotM

Ade Solihin scores 5.
Renaldi Zaenal scores 4.
Faisal R. scores 6 and a TotW.

So, Faisal R. is the PotM, yay.​
 
December Update

August 17th, Indonesia's Independence day. Sadly, it is Sunday, so, no holiday in midweek :@

December

Had to cut some loose ends, I forget to put several things that was supposed to be in pre-season. Here you go..

View attachment 343782 View attachment 343779

Had to let Irvan Hardiansyah go, had too many MC in the team, but pretty short on MR, so I brought Rizky Pellu in (with two "L"s football manager, two "L"s, not one), he's one of Indonesia's best talent, 22 and wanted by super league team, but somehow went to Persikab. Next one, we are predicted to finish 16th, which is the last position, well, screw you, we're currently 3rd.

R. Noffarianto (46', 66')

My strikers just f-ing impotent, Ade lost his magical touch, 24 shots and only 2 went in, still, could be worse..

R. Noffarianto (30', 45+1', 57')

Well, good thing is Noffarianto plays really good now, the bad thing is, I really miss our backline when Iqbal Septiandi still around, my back 3 is also played poor, Khokok and Ruud Gulid always show up with under 90% fitness.

Ade S. (1') Riki P.S. (65') Faisal R. (75')
Ruud Gulid sent off (50')

Seems like Ade's speciality is under-one-minute goal, lol. Sadly, Ruud Gulid sent off (again, seriously if it isn't him who get sent off, it is Iqbal), thankfully, my 3-3-3 also works this time, lol.

Ade S. (7') Agus Wahedi (81')

Pieter Rumaropen isn't supposed to be playing, he IS suspended for punching a ref. Oh well, our attacking trio didn't work this time, shame..

**** NO.

Technically speaking, he is way better than Yudas, but statistically, he's awful. Khokok-Yudas-? need someone in that "?" position, so I brought an amateur player, he will show up in february.

View attachment 343757

Same league, no problem here..

December PotM

Rizal Noffarianto, he simply deserves it, replacing Ade in no time, somehow plays better than last month. And one more thing, I can't find his picture, again..

January Update

Bah Gawd. My back, neck, legs, everything hurts again (actually, it ALWAYS hurts), it went way worse when I tried some jogging this morning :@

Their GK sent off, then it went awful for them. And Solihin losts his magic, I'm unsure about what happens, might be because of his injury last year? Who knows..

Indonesian Cup
Leg 1: Aldhika Akbari (24', 49') Faisal R. (79', 90+3') R. Hermawan (89')
Leg 2: R. Noffarianto (37', 50')

First leg is pretty nervy game, Akbari's second goal and Hermawan's goal are both Lampard vs. Germany kind of goal, except this time both are counted in. Second leg is pretty awful, Dippi took way too many shots, off target. Noffarianto came to rescue though, no problem here. So, who's our next opponent in the cup?

View attachment 342718

Perseru Serui. A Super League side, well, although their run in the league is pretty awful, lol. Hopefully we can get something from this match.

R. Zaenal (2') A. Wahedi (14') Edy Irwanto (67') Ade Solihin (76')

The first 15 minutes was great, but then, it went nervy again. That 85th minute penalty is unacceptable.

Their squads is basically terrible. Screw it.

January PotM

View attachment 342703

For the lack of a standout player, I gave myself another PotM, the league itself only plays 2 matches each teams, no time to show their abilities.
