A. Bah - that guy in the team of the year is a Regen? how are his stats?

what you can do is buy Spanish young players...
but you also need to see that you are losing players in their prime, and you can't just replace them with a team full of youngsters..

something like... replacing an outgoing player with a similar Spanish player? any age.. but fee less than what the player went for...

good luck mate...

Bah is pretty amazing, i gave him his International debut back in 2018 when i won the World Cup with Holland

On the other stuff im going to see how i go with signing under 21 players from Spain as we all know i could splash the cash at the end of the season and win everything but wheres the fun in that, i dont mind building a young team for a few seasons that doesnt win hardly anything.

Neymar out for 5 Crucial Weeks

View attachment 242623

A couple of really good youth intake players, or more than likely the overall rating of the squad has gone down so they just look better!

Europa League

So in the 2nd knockout rnd of the Champions League we beat Tottenham 3-0 in 1st leg at our place and it looked like our place in the next rnd was all sown up until we went to the brilliantly named New White Hart Lane and got smashed 6-1

So my best Youth Intake player that i have had in ages ****** refuses to sign his pro contract at first and it takes a few more weeks before he agrees a better deal, cheeky ******

Too many draws just like last season with 7 wins out of 10 including beating Real Madrid but it means nothing when we draw against At Madrid, R.Sociedad and Malaga.

League Table

View attachment 242613

Top of the table despite all the draws, 5 points clear of Real Madrid but they do have a game in hand but with only 4 games to go surely we wont let it slip now.

Best Player - Neymar - 34 Goals

May Results

View attachment 242515

So we beat Malaga 4-1 but then suffered a shock defeat to Alcoron which all but ended our Title hopes, we won our last couple of games against Sevilla and Getafe but it didnt matter as Real Madrid won 6 games in a row after we last beat them to win the title by 1 point.

League Table

View attachment 242514

So Real Madrid show great Character and win the league by 1 point and plundered over 130 goals to break that record too.

You've done an incredible job here! Great news to hear the club has cleared all debts. Can't believe you haven't managed to spend anything yet, I would be itching to spend a hefty amount of it!

Here is Messi at the grand age of 37

Best Eleven - This Season

View attachment 242380

Nice to see 3 players i have got from Youth intakes are in the starting 11 for me now and a further 7 on the bench.

Best Eleven Ever - 10 Seasons

View attachment 242378

So the likes of Pique, Neymar and Ter Stegen have broken the 500 game barrier since i took charge whilst Messi is close on 497.
MSN is still up top but its nice to see Grimaldo is ahead of Jordi Alba and Samper and Roberto ahead of Iniesta and co.

Best Eleven from 10 Years Ago

Thanks very much for reading guys, im even surprised im still really into the save more than ever to be honest, my own little goals are to get as high as possible on the overall leaderboards im currently 4796th would love to break the top 1000 saves and also to see Messi retire and the likes of Javi Rivas my first youth intake player get a Testimonial which he should get in the next year

Friendlies and Group Games

View attachment 242284

Well the friendlies didnt go exactly to plan with 2 wins a draw and a loss to Holland the Number 1 team in the World and my former side but we did much better in the groups as we beat Croatia and Norway 3-0 each and snatched a 1-0 win against R of Ireland.

Euro 2024 2nd Rnd V Switzerland

A dominant 3-0 win against the Swiss with The Oxe in fine form once again to take him to 4 goal in 4 games.

Another dominant display and another 3-0 win whilst AOC adds two more goals to his tally and now has 6 Euro goals in 5 games.

Euro 2024 Semi Finals V Spain

View attachment 242280

Another game were we dominated the possesion and chances but just couldnt score with key players AOC and Brizell having terrible games and were knocked out having looked so good at one point by another of my former employees.

Spain(the side i won Euro 2020 with) went on to beat Holland(the side i won the World Cup 2018 with) in the Final to retain their Title.

What coaches do you have? Could you maybe get a better head of youth development to help you bring in a better range of regens?

I think my regens are pretty good it just that the likes of Messi and Neymar were so far above everyone else that it made the rest of the team look bad, ive got several of my former youth players worth over £10Million now so im content.
 
Valencia! that's crazy..

I believe you've significantly reduced that figure compared to the start of the game..

thanks!

July/Aug 2024 - Summer Transfer Window

So after 10 seasons of no signings i finally chose to bring in 4 young Spaniards to add to my threadbare squad for a total of £52Million just a fraction of my £450Million budget

So first up is versatile midfielder Marc Bueno who arrived from Lyon for £20Million and is likely to slot straight into one of our CM positions.

View attachment 241883

Next up was Juan Ramon from Alcoron for another cool £20Million who plays in the DMC role and is likely to take over from the 36 year old Sergio Busquets immediately.

View attachment 241882

Striker Alvaro Cantos was a steal from Real Betis for just £8.25Million and will be backup for Messi and Rivas upfront.

16 year old Juan Luis Cruz could be the best of the lot and for just £3.5Million was a must buy as centre back is probably our weakest area as Bartra (33 Years Old) and Pique (37 Years Old) are our current back pairing

View attachment 241879

I think this proves my theory that Real havent been spending much in recent years because of us not buying anyone because as soon as i splash the cash they do too!

No screenshot of Cantos? They all look quality though!

Obviously Brendan has just been unable to find players who show enough character to warrant splashing out on until now. Timothy Odey must be the French Joe Allen to command that sort of fee from Brendan!
