Aberdeen vs Celtic

View attachment 85798 View attachment 85797



Aberdeen 1-0 Celtic
View attachment 85796
We had to rest a few players with the champions league final a week away but still made this tough work as Celtic became the first team not to let in a avalanche of goals but not enough to stop our utter domination of the Scottish game go on with a 5th treble in a row.




Last season i was amazed to see us score 21 goals. Then this 30 goal haul happened

I think what you've done is excellent don't get me wrong but it seems like Scotland is the only league that's playable making it far easier to dominate and have the best youth system leading to champions league glory when only regens exist. I myself have the top 5 league and Scottish league. After 5 seasons I've won the title twice and each of the cups I'm yet to cracking Europe but have had tough games each time. Season 1 out to West ham in Europa qualifier, out to bilbao the year after in the same round. Out in a group with besiktaz and bilbao one year later In the Europa group, out to lille in the last 32 a year later (should of got through) that after olympiakos put me out of champions league playoff and then in my most recent season out to Porto in champions league playoff and eventually out of Europa group stage to cska Moscow and lazio. All this with only 1million net

Atletico Madrid vs Aberdeen
View attachment 85687 View attachment 85686
Both sides have been major players in the Champions League for the past 10 seasons but now its time to see which one will be the first to win the biggest prize 3 times.





Atletico Madrid 0-3 Aberdeen
View attachment 85685
Its the Dons. The tick to Atletico was simple. Stop Sousa who in every Atletico game i reviewed had the most passes completed by a mile and was always top 2 in passes received. Even without such planning Atletico let themselves down after only 6 minutes they had given away a penalty which Henrique struck home. He added a second goal only 3 minutes later meaning we could play Simeone's team at its own game of counter attack. Whatever he said to them at half time had no bearing at all on as former Don Richard came out and got a second yellow and a red right away before our new Champions League striker Cosmin Manea's 10th goal in the competition secured our 3rd title.

I add I have just won my first champions league group game in my second attempt with it also being first European game at the new stadium 4-3 vs ajax with cammy Smith getting 2 goals and an assist. That's what I do with my Scottish players I develop them rather than taking advantage of being only playable league on game like you. Whatever happened to your cammy Smith?

I had the opposite with my Rangers save. The first 5 seasons I was getting mega regens who were all world class wonderkids. The current Scotland team has 10 of those players in it. Now it's stopped and there's no better than 2 star potentials coming through.
I have top 5 leagues loaded not just Scotland

He went to Dundee Utd. Like the previous post i had a blast of good Scottish regens from the start to 2019 but since then only 2 or 3 have made a impact, one is half French another half Brazilian. Nice of you to check i was only running the Scottish league. Actually have Top 2 English Leagues, French, German, Italian and Spanish top flights going hence why England which always had a overbalanced regen ratio are always at least in the semi finals.
 
You only have leagues from six nations loaded? Pah, your achievements mean nothing then. Three Champions Leagues mean nothing when you don't have the Malaysian, Uruguayan and South African leagues loaded, I thought everyone knew that... ;)
 

End of Season 2031/32




Alan Graniger did everything he could to get back into the team of the year with the best ever rating in a SPL season.

Scotland
View attachment 85406
A drop in form for League Champions Aberdeen who fall back to only 104 points. More interesting was the return of Celtic to 2nd a year after i proclaimed Rangers as the clear 2nd force of Scottish Football, Yikes they finished 14 points behind Celtic and only 8=5 clear of Falkirk. Dundee end there 7 seasons outside the top 6, including one in the Championship by returning to European football next season ahead of Hearts and Hibs who have plenty to do with a new manager joining next season. Morton were at least as poor Hibs letting Steven Anderson leave after building the club into a consistent top 6 team they only finished 2 points cler of newbies Partick. Raith and Queen of the South spent the season fighting over bottom spot and a let charge saw Raith reach the Playoffs and survive.
St Mirren are back in the SPL with a bang winning the Championship and the Challenge cup. 1pt between former SPL sides Dunfermline, Forfar and Motherwell who will fight through the playoffs. Cove Rangers beat Kilmarnock in the relegation playoff to be the first Non league team to reach the 2nd tier of Scottish Football going up with highland pals Ross County

Big League review

If anyone was to take Man Citys title it had to be Man Utd in a close year with the top 4 all having a shot at the top through the season
Leverkusen wasted no time in taking there title back beating Dortmund to the title on the final day. Bayern return to the Champions League but well back.
Here's Roma's sporadic Serie A title win holding of dominant team of the 20's Napoli by a point. 3rd for AC Milan will see them in the Champions League but they have still to win a title in the save. Former star Juve miss out on Europe all together
Real Madrid win La Liga at a canter clearing 100 points 11 clear or Barcelona and Atletico making up for the Champions League and Spanish cup Heartbreak they suffered to there neighbours






Aberdeen
View attachment 85400
Our left wing was out of this world Micael being involved in almost 50 goals from the wing. Little changed as Ba & Oyarzun did great jobs filling in for injured players and Evensen, Main, Gunciu, and Manea did jobs to such a quality that are more than that of squad players






Aberdeen Finances

A chunk of extra price money, sponsorship increase and a extra £30m out of transfers all played a part in our income drive. Never dreamed of getting close to £300m even a year ago

European Rankings

Win the champions league but we drop a place as our win 6 seasons ago was with a perfect record. Old Firm are now 28th Rangers and 30th Celtic. Only Hearts & Morton join them in the top 100 and neither have European football next season.

No change to the Euro places. We pretty much the same and no sign of catching Portugal again in the near future

This was going to be a harder game than it looked on paper as Greece play even more defensive than we doand i feared the absolute worst when our best defender Ferry was sent off but our best player Ben McIlroy saved the day with the only goal for our first win at a Euro's in a long time

We only needed a draw but got the win that locks down our place in the knock out phase. 1st however im disgusted that this game and the Germany game is in Wales. We should have home advantage! 2nd in not to worried we only won 1-0 as we changed all 10 outfield players

Jeez what a game. We had a plan and as usual in the big games we came up strong with Connolly giving us a first half lead. Italy pulled level deservadly on the hour. Neither side came on strong almost both settled for extra time until unfortunate Italian Defender Emilio De Cosmi scored a 92nd minute own goal that ended the game and has us into a semi final. Shame our last 4 games have been in Wales.

There not playable though are they, never any posts about job offers I myself get offered a top job most months. Anyway with my load I'm finally into knockout rounds of champions league after getting through a group of mancity ac Milan and cska Moscow. 3 titles 3 league cups and 2 Scottish family cups in 6 and a half seasons. Net spend of around 5 million and producing only my Scottish youth through youth system
 
I get offered Talk Talk Broadband most months, and that doesn't make the slightest difference to this thread, either... :P

Click to expand...

Its not a journeyman save so job offers are as worthless as getting offered monopoly money. I've said a few times during the save that the only time i'd consider leaving Aberdeen was after the youth players from the first few seasons retired and i'd rebuilt the squad as well as i could after the transfer embargo then i would move on to another Scottish side and try and build a Scottish dynasty but since its almost September and the next FM is just over 2 month away we'll probably never see that happen
