TACTIC + PRE-SEASON

Hello guys, first I want to wish you a happy New Year!

It's now the 18th of July in my Bayern Alzenau save and this will be the first game in the Regionalliga Nordost for Heiko and his men.
Last year Bayern Alzenau was in the Regionalliga West but this season they aren't, hopefully things go good this year too!

The new league:
View attachment 438327There is 1 team I've already played against: FSV Frankfurt II in the Hessenliga in 2013/2014.

I'm not completely happy with my tactic, it's a counter-attacking tactic, but my aim is to be a midtable team this year and after this season I want to change the tactic in a possesion/attacking tactic and win the league. I don't want to play tiki-taka, but more a Dortmund/Klopp style of play: quick attacking football, and a lot of possession against weaker teams.

This is my tactic for now:
View attachment 438745 I have a backup tactic, but that was the tactic I used in the beginning of last season, but that tactic is too defensive and with that tactic it's hard to score.
The mentality is attacking, but I have most of the games 45% possession, even against weaker teams.

Now I'm going to show you a squad overview and a comparison with other teams:

Goalkeepers: Ricardo Dobert and Felix Low.
Ricardo will be my main goalkeeper and Felix will be my backup. But if Ricardo makes stupid mistakes (like last year), I'm not qoing to hesitate to select Low.

Right backs: Markus Wosiek and Amadeus Piontek.
Markus is my first right back, but only because he is my captain! His average rating must be better otherwise Amadeus will be in the starting 11.

Left backs: Victor Gradl and Baris Odabas.
Victor was great last season and I hope he will be even better this season. Baris is a decent backup left back, but also a decent backup DM and he has lots of potential.

Centre backs: Daniel Muller, Manoel Splettstober, Torsten Hartung and Matthias Bienek.
Daniel Muller is certainly my best and main centre back. He will always be in the starting 11 if he's fit. He is my favourite player and he has a very high average rating the last 2 seasons. Manoel is already good, but has also very good potential. Torsten is good and he is 2 footed! Matthias has a lot of speed, something I like in defence.

Defensive midfielder: Patrick Hilser, Baris Odabas and Franklin N'Goma.
Patrick is a very good anchorman and he has some space to grow. Baris will always be on the bench, because he is a decent left back and DM. Franklin is someone for the future, very good potential. Something I don't like about Franklin is that he had 2 own goals in his 6 appearences he had for the club...

Central midfielder: Frank Schreiber and Felix Horger.
Can't say much about these players. Felix is new (2 days at the club) and Frank was the backup since January. My main central midfielder has left 5 days before the start of the competition, very disappointing...

Attacking midfielder: Alexander Reith, Dennis Leiper, Stephan Schmik and Andreas Schwolow.
Alexander and Dennis are my main attacking midfielders. Dennis is out for 4 months so Alexander will play most of the time. Stephan is backup for my left and right wing, but can also play as an AMC. Andreas Schwolow is young and has potential, but he can leave if he wants..

Right wing: Alexander Vogel, Dominik Almeida and Stephan Schmik.
Alexander was good last season and will start this season. Dominik is new, but a very good concurrent for Alexander and he has a lot of potential. Stephan is a backup.

Left wing: Dominik Schwertel, Fatih Sezer and Stephan Schmik.
Dominik has the best stats, but Fatih plays better. A very tough choice...Stephan is a backup.

Striker: Julian Bidon, Alessandro Frob and Jozef Gasparovic.
Julian has the best stas and he missed pre-season because he was flirting with other teams. Alessandro was the best striker last year and the fans favourite. Jozef is very good when he starts of the bench, but not good enough for a whole match. Julian or Jozef may leave the club.

I have some good youngsters, but one player will play some matches this season. His name? Gualtiero Rizzo. And he will play as a striker.
Here his stats:
View attachment 438732

Here an overview:
View attachment 438733

It has been a long post so I'm not going to evaluate the players performances during the pre-season games.
The pre-season games:
View attachment 438731
5-0 convincing victory over Flieden.
4-2 victory, attack was good, defence wasn't.
4-1 victory, 1-0 during half time for Grunstadt, very good performance after the break.
The last 4-2 victory was very good, 2 faults from my 2 goalkeepers...

Team evaluation:
Attack: very good.
Defence: inconsistent.


So this is a long post. I'm now going to celebrate New Year with my girlfriend!

Greetings from Belgium.

JULY & AUGUST

Hello guys

I've just finished the first 5 leaguegames of the season 2015-2016. I can tell you that my job status is very secure:
View attachment 438197

My aim was to have 9 points out of 18, but I'm happy with the games and the 7 points:
View attachment 438196

First game: The first game was an away game in Berlin, against the second team of Hertha BSC. They were 19th in the third division last year. The first half was not good, we had 2 CCC's and we couldn't score one of them, 0-0 at half time. After the break they played better and scored 3 times, in the 84th minute Reith scored the goal that we deserved.

Second game: It was a home game against Babelsberg. After 4 minutes they were 1-0 up, but my team played good and we scored the equalizer in the 9th minute. It was the second league goal of Alexander Reith. In the 14th minute we scored from a set piece, it was an own goal of Hasan Seifi. They had most of the possession, but we defended well and won 2-1. It is our first win ever in the Regionalliga Nordost!

We played a friendly against the secon team of Kalsruhe, an easy 2-0 victory and it was the first game of Dominik Muller, my new centre back. I signed him because Bienek was flirting with other teams.

Third game: An away game against Zwickau. Zwickau had more than 7,000 visitors in their opening game at home... This match there were 'only' 2,000 visitors and they saw an very easy game for the home team. After 14 minutes they scored their first goal, but we equalized via Julian Bidon, the striker who couldn't score last season... But 2 set pieces later it was 3-1 for the home team... 3 set piece-goals in 3 matches is not good...

Fourth game: An away game against Plauen. It was a match between 2 clubs who battle against relegation, but we won convincingly! After 17 minutes Schwegler scored the opening goal and after 24 minutes Reith (yes with his third goal!) dubbles the score, 2-0. In the 29th minute we conceded, but Julian Bidon scored 2 minutes before half time and we had our 2 goals lead back. After the break we defended well, but they scored in 78th minute from a set piece, again... This time it was an own goal from my DM Baris Odabas.

Fifth game: A home game against Rot-Weiss Erfurt, they were second last year so this was going to be a tough game... After 9 minutes my striker, Julian Bidon, scored and we were leading 1-0. But Erfurt was better and they scored three times before half time: game, set and match. No was that we were going to score twice or even three times against Erfurt, one of the best teams of the league.

Sixth game: A very important game against another mid-table team: FC Lokomotive Leipzig. We were leading 2-0 after 26 minutes, 2 goals of Julian Bidon, the man in form! But in the 45th minute the scored 2-1. And in the first minute after the game Paul Schinke scored again, it was a fantastic goal from 20 yards! It was a disappointing result after the 2-0 lead, but not a bad result.

7 points in 6 games, that's not enough to be in the top-half, but we played against 3 teams in the top 5...
The table:
View attachment 438188 We are sitting on the 10th spot. I hope we can climb on the table and I'm hoping for the 6th-7th place to end this season. Higher is even better!

This is not the only thing I want to tell you. The Champions League and Europa League groups of the German teams and the World Cup U20.

Champions League:
View attachment 438187Group A: Schalke 04 (3rd in Bundesliga), Atletico Madrid (3rd in Liga BBVA), CS Pandurii (Romanian First League Winner) and FC Basel (Winner of the Swiss Super League. A tough group, but I see Schalke in the second round.
View attachment 438186Group D: FC Chelsea (3rd in the Premier League), Olympiakos (Winner of the Greek Superleague) Borussia Dortmund (2nd in Bundesliga) and AS Monaco (2nd in Ligue 1). An even tougher group then Schalke 04, but BVB must capable to go to the second round.
View attachment 438178Group G: Shakhtar Donetsk (First in Ukrainian Premier League), PSG (First in Ligue 1), Bayern Munich (Winner of Bundesliga) and Club Brugge (1st in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League). A group of Champions, but I think that Bayern is the group favourite.

Europa League:
View attachment 438177Group A: Granada (4th in Liga BBVA), Galatasaray (only 5th in Spor Toto Super League), Vitoria Guimaraes (3rd in Portugese Premier League) and Fortuna Dusseldorf (7th in Bundesliga and winner of the DFB-Pokal). I see Granada and Galatasaray goint to the next round, but Fortuna has a chance when they get the support of their home crowd.
View attachment 438176Group B: TSG 1899 Hoffenheim (6th in Bundesliga), FC Red Bull Salzburg (Winner of Austrian Premier League), Metalist Kharkiv (4th in Ukrainian Premier League) and AS Nancy Lorraine (3rd in Ligue 1). A group with very even teams, but I don't see Hoffenheim going through.
View attachment 438175Group G: Trabzonspor (6th in Spor Toto Super League), AS Roma (14th in Serie A and winner of the Italian Cup), Hapoel Tel-Aviv (2nd in Israeli Premier League) and HSV (4th in Bundesliga). AS Roma is the group favourite in my eyes and Trabzonspor and HSV will battle for second place.
View attachment 438171Group J: Kuban Krasnodar (6th in Russian Premier League), FC Kobenhavn (Winner of Danish Superliga), Borussia Monchengladbach (11th in Bundesliga) and Ajax (5th in Eredivisie). Gladbach and Ajax will go through, I think. They are the best teams.

World Cup U20:
Italy has won the World Cup U20 in 2015. They won against Germany in the quarter final.

So this was the July-August update. My next update will be after September-October.
Greetings from Belgium!
 
poor defence there.why don't you bring your CM a bit deeper and convert him into DM?might help
 
Most of the goals I concede are set pieces, but I can at least try it! :)
Thanks for the tip
 
First match with 2 DM's, a 1-0 away win against Rathenow, a concurrent for the 7th place. Now we are looking for a parent club, because our finances are decreasing quickly...
 
well done.. will be following...

i enjoy germany lower league but gave up my Kiel save.
Got them promoted to 2nd Div and struggled since, no matter how i change the tactics.. just could get results.

My Kiel set up is similar to yours.. with 2 DM.. did well in 3rd Div but could not find the right tweat for the 2nd Div.
Supports Hoffenheim irl, thus I always try to look for loans from them.

I conceed a lot from set-piece as well, not sure how to resolve it. But i score from freekicks often.
I have 3 players distrupting the wall.. it seems to work.
 
But the tactic with 2 DM's is not so good. 4 games: 1 win and 3 draws. Ok no loss, but I score lucky goals and I can't counter-attack quickly to hurt the other team and that is my aim...
This will be a hard season, I don't think I will relegate, but I'm struggling a lot.
After this season a attacking-possession tactic would be nicer to watch and would make my save more interesting.
I have 1 big problem, the pitch is relayed, but after only 5-10 home games the pitch is again really bad...
So if I want to play more possession football, my pitch must be better... I hope the finances aren't that bad at the end of the season and than can I maybe ask to relay the pitch again, hopefully...

Thanks for the support guys!
 
Good start my friend.
From the sounds like it, this season will be consolidation before a promotion push.

Pity about the state of the pitch, possession football is very entertaining and pleases the crowds.
 
September & October

Hello guys

This will be a short update because I want to finish 2015 today.

Reith and Lepper are both injured so I had to play Schwolow on the AMC position. For a few matches I changed AMC in MC, but that didn't worked well: 4 draws.
I have changed the tactic in another way: CM (S) becames DLP (S), Anchorman (D) became defensive midfielder (S)
and advanced playmaker (S) became attacking midfielder (A).

Fixtures of September and October:
View attachment 437968A lucky 1-0 win over Rathenow (an own goal) was the beginning of a great month September with no losses! October was a bit disappointing because we lost against Meuselwitz and had a draw against Berliner AK.

Because most of the teams are in the region of Berlin we loose a lot of money to travel and that's not good for our finances:
View attachment 437967

But there is also good news: We have found a parent club: Sandhausen in th 2. Bundesliga!
We get around 12K a year and the recettes for the friendly are also for my team. Not much but every penny counts!
Sandhausen 11th at the moment in the 2. Bundesliga and I will support for them in the hope that we will get more money in the future!
View attachment 437966

This was the update I hope I can finish November and December today and give you a next update.
The fixtures before the New Year:

Only 5 games and I hope I will be 7th and not 10th...

NOVEMBER & DECEMBER

Hello guys

As there were only 5 leaguegames in these 2 months this is the 2nd update of the day.

November:
I'm going to analyse every game, because this was the best month so far this season!

First game:
View attachment 437950 A 0-1 victory over Neustrelitz. They were 4th in the league and were the best team in October so an excellent win. We had 3 CCC's, but could only scored one. The defence was very good and we had a clean sheet.

Second game:
View attachment 437949We lost the first game of the season against them with 3-1, but this day we were superb! Both teams had 1 CCC, but my goalkeeper kept it out and Bidon scored our CCC! In the last 5minutes we pushed forward and scored twice.

Third game:
View attachment 437948Best game so far this season! We created 5 CCC's and scored three of them, not bad. My defence was, again, very good! We won twice last season against FSV Frankfurt II, but this time I wasn't sure of the win.

This was November: 3 Wins!
And my DM Hilser is the player of the month November! Great performances of him, 8.33 average rating and 2 goals!

December:
Last game against Babelsberg was the first victory of the season. This time it was 6th against 7th in the league...
View attachment 437947We won again, a deserved 1-3 victory! This time we had 3 CCC's and scored 2 of them. They had 4 CCC's, but my defence was ver very good and we only conceded one!

A game against Zwickau. Last time we lost, but this time we played at home...
View attachment 437946 We were losing 2-0 after 7 minutes and they dominated us in the first half. I was furious at half time and Gualtiero Rizzo came of the bench in the 50th minute. From than I played on overload and Rizzo scored his first goal for the club! In the 89th minute we received a corner and the best player of the season so far, centre back Daniel Muller, scored with a beautiful header! 2-2 and I was pleased with the performance in the second half!

Again 2 very good performances of my team! I'm a very proud manager!
4 points against 2 tough opponents is really really good. Again we had the player of the month and this time it was the right winger: Alexander Vogel.
He had an average rating of 8.1, scored 2 goals and gave 2 assists!

Fixtures of November and December:
View attachment 437943

And this is the league table on the first of January 2016:
View attachment 437945

I can't wait for the youth intake and the moment (04/01/2016) that the new youth facilities are finished!

Next Update: January & February
 
Pffffff I was very busy with school and had several problems so that's why it tooks that long for the new update.
So I wanted to make a new update, but therefore I need some screens. I open FM and my computer crashes...

I restart the computer and re-open FM 14 but all my saves are gone, so no new update guys... I think this will be the end of the Bayern Alzenau story. :(

I hope you enjoyed the save and I will begin a new save: Scandinavian Challenge.

I'm very sorry and I will thank you for all the support!
