Give it a go, it's great when you manage to get it right outside of your comfort zone

Thanks, i'm really enjoying it
 
The Mexican season is very unique in that it is split into two halves, I will update the Opening and Closing stages independently, With the group stage for the Copa MX in with the Opening stage. But before any of that my transfer dealings.

I have reshaped the entire squad, We currently have a first team, B team, C team, Under 20's and under 18's! So plenty of players to choose from sadly very few are of the standard required for the next league up.

I'd love to update you each player but there are just to many here! Some are for the future and some are first team starters, I've even managed a couple of internationals!

This is the group we have been drawn in for the cup, We have an outside chance of qualifing but we shall see!

I will also be pulling an old tactic out of retirement, This formation plays with a Libero ;)

We have won all 4 friendlies and confidence is ever increasing.

Despite a valient effort in the Copa MX we didn't manage to get out of the group stage.

The league however is a completley different beast, We are the best team so far of that there is no doubt!

We set a new points record on the way to wrapping up the opening stage.

I think this qualifies us for the end of season playoffs, But honestly i'm not to sure yet....

 
OK Apparantley we have play offs now! As league leaders as automatically qualify for the semi final.

This how the quarter finals went and how the semi finals were drawn.

in the semi final we conspired to throw it all away, Losing 2-0 in the first leg. Only to turn on the style in the second leg and winning quite handily in the end.

In the final over both legs we were dominant!

View attachment 337930View attachment 337931

We confirm ourselves as winners of the opening stage and one of our players even broke the scoring record!

I have also discovered that the Copa MX starts again for the closing stage so here is our new group!

We got another full pre-season before the closing stage started, here is how our friendlies went.

We couldn't possibly follow that in the league could we? 1 defeat in the league means we could!

The goal record was broken with several games to go but still worth mentioning!

Promoted at the first attempt :D
 
most of the south american leagues run in spilt seasons (open and close stages) the winner of each stage useally faces off against each other for the title plus promotion etc. if you win each section you normally take the title without the need for play off

Wow, everything makes sense now. I can't believe it was actually that simple.
 
lol it look confusing when you look at it first but its easy enough. i spent a few seasons in chile with everton (chi) a few saves back which was fun but i understood it after that

Thats why I didn't have a play off then, i presume it's just a money thing?

On another note, i know Mexican sides can qualify for the copa libertadores. Does anyone know how i'd do that?

Not sure on how it works at present but Mexican entries to Libertadores used to be by invitation.

They qualify now according to wikipedia, Just not sure how. if I qualify for north american CL i cant go to libertadores
 
i believe it works on a place system in the league. like in the champions league and europa league in the prem. not sure which way round but top side will get into one and the next few sides go to the other.
 
that would be the overall league place after open and close stages.... not 100% on that though
