This a new spin on the classic Alphabet Challenge. Instead of moving alphabetically by country I will move alphabetically by team. Of course I do not expect to get through every team, I just think this is an interesting way to progress my career. I have loaded all european leagues and their second tiers. I have not loaded amateur leagues such as San Marino, Andorra, and Faroe Islands. I will start in the Macedonian Second Tier with 11 Oktomvri. I will move teams after winning the league.

11 Oktomvri
Club Summary
The club was founded in 1951 and has only been in the top flight once in its history, in 2011-12.
They are from Prilep, Macedonia and play in the 15,000 capacity Stadion Goce Delcev.
View attachment 274033
The Macedonian Second League title in 2010-11 is the only trophy they have won. I will be hoping to change that.
They're major rivals are FK Pobeda and FK Korzo who are both in the Second League.
We are predicted to get 5th this season.

Transfer Priorities:
Goalkeeper
Center Back
Defensive Midfielder
Left Winger

Transfers
View attachment 274031
Aleksandar Caov- Will slot in immediately as our starting GK
Ricardo Stojkovski- Player for the future
Stefan Sulev- Young DM and will be back-up for first season. Star for the Macedonian league
Todor Miroslavov- Another CB for the first team
Dzunej Sali- We had no LB so he needed to come in. Might sign a better replacement next season if we get promoted.
Boban Jovanovic- Young Serbian CAM that will be back-up in his first season but will be star like Sulev
Martin Georgievski- Will be our starting RW
Jetmir Kadriu- Will be our starting CAM
Darko Kostadinovski- Will be our starting CB
Igor Zajkov- LW was one of our glaring issues so he was a must sign

My Season Expectations:
Even though we are predicted to finish 5th, I think we can finish in the top 4 and seal a promotion-play-off spot.

Skopje:Filip Nakov (53)

A quick response to their equalizer gives us a winning start to the season.

Novaci: None
Oktomvri: Stojance Dunimagloski (2, 72)
A Dunimagloski magic show makes it a perfect August and and second straight clean sheet.

August Summary:
I am very pleased with the perfect start to the season but the good form of other teams only gives us 3rd in the table.

Teteks: Zlatko Ristov (37)
Oktomvri: Darko Kostadinovski (33)
Our first dropped points of the season. I'm not disappointed though. Teteks are one of the better teams in the league. Both goals came from corners.

Pobeda Junior: Aleksandar Bajevski (63,80)
This was a surprising and action packed game against our main promotion rivals. I honestly thought we were going to lose this game but we get the business done and now we are 3 points clear at the end of September.

September Summary:
I am amazed at our start with just 2 points dropped after 8 games and 3 points clear of Pobeda Junior.

OKtomvri: Dzunej Sali (82)
Zajazi: None
This was a very boring and frustrating game as we had no chances until the goal, which was a very questionable call.

October Summary:
Another perfect month means we are 6 points clear now and I am amazed at how consistent and dominant we have been.

Skopje: Burim Gudzufi (69), Riste Nakovski (73), Aleksandar Bozikov (86)
We missed a huge chance to go level and hold onto our 4 point lead at the top but we missed a penalty and then got caught out by a counter while chasing the equalizing goal in another 1st against 2nd clash.

View attachment 2732923-1 View attachment 273287
Oktomvri: Igor Zajkov (47,50), Oliver Apostolski (86)
Novaci: Blagoja Bozinovski (40)
We fell behind to the worst team in the league but a good second half showing and a Zajkov brace earned us an important 3 points.

November Summary:
Oh how things can change. after looking invincible and threatening to run away with the title we fell back dow to Earth and now sit on a slender 1 point lead. The continued good form of Stojance Dunimagloski is a positive though.

Season Preview and Transfers

Transfers
View attachment 272395
In:
Nemanja Bradonjic- We had only the young pair of Goran Zdraveski and Boban Krsteski for CM and they are definitely not good enough for the top flight so reinforcements in the center were needed
Burim Gudzufi- Last season we had no true quality back-up striker so we brought in Gudzufi from fellow promoted team Skopje.
Ace Javasev- We lacked quality and depth out wide so Javasev will rotate with Zajkov at LW.
Dejan Kebakoski, Todor Miroslavov, igor Mirceski, Filip Spirkoski- After their contracts expired with us we resigned them immediately. Most of them will serve as back-up options.
Jordanco Naumovski- One of the best young talents in the country had his contract terminated by Metallurgy Skopje so we snapped him up on a free. He is a CM.
Elmir Mandak- Jetmir Kadriu is now only good enough for a bit part role and Boban Jovanovic is inexperienced so an upgrade at CAM was needed and Mandak can play that role.
Filip Naumcevski- After we let Apostolski leave on a free and Georgievski set to play a minor role this season, we needed a quality RW.

Season Preview and Expectations:
The bookies back us for a dead last finish and no hope of survival and the board are asking to avoid relegation. I believe that after a good transfer window we can comfortably finish above the relegation play-off places.

Surprisingly, Pelister won the title from Vardar on the last day of the season.
Vardar, us and Rabotnicki secured Europa League spots. We will enter in the 1st qualifying round.
Skopje, Shkendija, Napredok and Renova moved down while Gorno Lisice, Bregalnica, Sileks and Belasica take their place.

Vardar won the Cup on penalties against Pelister.
