Veriloquent - Congrats on the promotion and the league win! Rename the supporter club, I don't think I've seen that one before actually. Well done and good luck at the next level!
Charlesbeams - That's a great strike. Hope there's more of that to come from him.
LLR - That curse seems to be hitting hard so far this year. I'm gonna bite my tongue this season. Will do a small pre-season update though.
Casa Pia Pre Season 2014/15
13 players left us. 5 of them I terminated before their contracts ran out, just to be able to offer some of my better players new ones.
7 players came in. (There's plenty time left on the transfer window, but my wage budget is spent, so unless someone comes in with an offer for anyone I'm done.)
Kristijan Lukacic (DLC) - My new left back. He had a good season for AKE Vorarlberg in Austria last year and if he settles in I think he'll do very well.
Luca D'Dandrea (DRC) - And a right back. Released by Roma where he didn't get a single match for 3 seasons.
Marcelo Tche (DR) - He can also play left back (competent), so he'll probably cover on both sides.
Tiago Maia (GK) - 2nd goalkeeper. Although there's very little between the two I have so the spot is kind of up for grabs.
Thiaguinho (MC) - Young Brazilian from Gremios academy. Already 2nd best midfielder in the squad.
Robert Pich (SC) - He's been 3 years in Portugal already so he should settle in fast. My fans for some reason were amazed that I managed to capture his signature.
Liban Abdi (SC) - He's from Somalia. I think that's a first for me. He did however spend his last two seasons playing for Arouca, who are in the same division as us. So hopefully he'll settle right in.
We have a much smaller squad this season, but I think more quality in depth and in certain positions, full backs in particular. Hopefully we can avoid any major injury crisis though.
Atm our biggest star Lapa is out for 3 months with a hip problem. He has to see a specialist and will miss at least 5-6 of the first league matches. I really hope one of the new boys can step up or the promotion hunt may well be over before it begins.
This was my starting XI this season:
Città di Pontedera 2012/2013
season report
A good season all in all...
It is however very very annoying that we lost the secound leg of the playoff-final. We were in suberb form and would have gone through on away goals if it weren't for the Italian seeding rule.
GK: Alessio Battini - Made very few mistakes and kept us in many matches, deserved a higher total rating in my opinion.
RB: Michele Margini - Signed on a free before the season and made the RB-spot his own, solid if not spectacular.
DC: Matteo Gandelli - Excellent defender at this level, one of my best signings and stars of my team.
DC: Giovanni Iodice - The captain of my team, played solid throughout the whole season.
DL: Matteo Gorelli - OK left back, but a bit shaky defensively. Contributed well as a penalty- and cornertaker.
DMC: Fabio Ferraresi - Veteran. Good passer of the ball.
DMC: Jacopo Fortunato - Ex Inter prospect, brought some muscle into our midfield.Smart player.
AMR: Giacomo Lepri - Tricky right winger, intrsumental down our right flank.
AMC: Gianluca Fransciosi - My best signing and our most prominant player, topping leading in both goals and assists. Broke his leg the day before the playoff-final.
AML: Roberto Falivena: Smart left winger, lethal together with Fransciosi.
ST: Francesco Melchiorri - Varied in performances, but did allright. Need to look for a more speedy option in the summer
As I rarely suffered to injuries, my backups didn't really get much time on the pitch, but I am very pleased with the signing of this youth trialist:
Simone Mariani
The takeover I talked about earlier finally went through, just before the playoff-final. Quite happy that the consoritum wanted me to stay despite losing in their first match as owners!
Still gutted we lost in the final though, but atleast I still have a job!
Doubt I will fit in much playing time before the weekend, but will follow all of your updates in here
Oh and I will fix the currency in my screenshots in the future, but the Norwegian Krone is basicly a tenth of the GBP if it helps.
Forza Pontedera!

2012/13 Season - Clyde FC
4th in the Scottish Third Division
An up and down season that saw many winning streaks, losing streaks and streaks where we simply couldn't find the back of the net no matter what we tried. With three games remaining we found ourselves sitting just outside the playoffs with games against the three sides immediately above us. A 5-1 hammering of Albion Rovers was followed up with a 2-0 win against Montrose, leaving us requiring just a point against Alloa Athletic on the final day of the season to clinch the last playoff place. This was achieved with a late 1-1 draw.
The playoffs saw us meet the 9th placed side from the Second Division in Elgin City. A 1-1 draw at home was followed by a 3-2 win away after we had trailed 2-1 with fifteen minutes remaining. The 4-3 aggregate win saw us through to meet Albion Rovers in the final. In the first leg John Boyle went crazy, slamming home four goals in the opening 34 minutes as we ran out 6-2 winners. Boyle continued on his merry way in the second leg, scoring another two goals including a late equaliser as we secured a 3-3 draw. The 9-5 aggregate scoreline saw promotion attained, ending a three season stint in the basement of the Scottish Football League. This led to me being voted the Third Division Manager of the Year.
Scottish Cup
Entering in the Second Round, we defeated Forres Mechanics 3-0 before being eliminated in the following round by First Division Ross County.
League Cup
Our campaign in this competition ended almost before it had started with a crushing 5-0 defeat at the hands of recently relegated Dunfermline Athletic.
Challenge Cup
Despite going down to ten men just before half time, a late goal saw us secure a surprise 1-0 win against Second Division Airdrie United in the First Round. The Second Round saw us drawn against First Division side Livingston and despite holding them in the first half, they broke through in the second for a 3-0 victory.
Key Players
Ian Watt - signed on a free from Alloa. 21 goals and 13 assists in 38 league games.
John Boyle - signed on a free from Airdrie. Was inconsistent for much of the season but turned it on when it mattered most, with 6 goals over the two legs of the Playoff Final. 15 goals and 6 assists overall.
Declan Gallagher - our rock in defence. Scored five goals, all from corners, and was Man of the Match on eight occasions.

(Btw - Being Norwegian myself I got what you meant about NOK to GBP, but in case anyone gets confused (I know I often do when there's talk of currency) 1 NOK = 0,11 GBP atm. So basically, take away a zero.)
*RyMaX - Congrats on the promotion, well done! Sounds like a cracking end to the season. Good luck at the next level!

The Rest
All my other Youth prospects look quite bad, but I am thinking about signing a few of them just so I have a bit of extra coverage at all positions because it is hurting me this season...thoughts?
RyMax Congrats on promotion with Clyde. My Clyde squad did not fare so welll, finishing 8th after a quick start. (Can you say Blackpool?)
I too picked up Ian Watt who scored 19 in 38 games. I'll post my summary soon.
Was gonna hold my tongue, but I need a rant.
So my best striker is gone for 3 months. He finally comes back, and now my left back damages his achilles tendon and will be out for 3 months. Meanwhile my goalkeeper has broken his finger and is still out for a month. Having only 2 GKs this could be fun. And just to make it complete one of my defensive midfielders is still out for 2 months, seeing a specialist with a hip injury.
Not out of the race by any means, but with 3 major injuries in about a week I've had enough for tonight. Going to bed...
Oh I feel you Ohanzee - Since my mid-season update 9 injuries, 6 suspensions, my top keeper was out for 3 games with food poisoning, my back-up is terrible, both my central defenders were injured, and both strikers, at one point I was missing 2 strikers, 2 central defenders, 2 centre mids (1 suspended) and my keeper, no one useful left through the middle. I have not won a game in 9 since then...that makes 1 win in the last 13 games...I don't even really know what went wrong, but we got into a bad morale spin and now my team really is out of the race (The game I am currently in makes 5 straight losses) and we drop to 7th, we also lost 8-0 to the 4th placed team in this run...
I am sooo frustrated and struggling to get morale back...only reason I haven't been sacked on this run is because I was in first before it hit.

Well I finally broke my spell, I held a team meeting got them fired up, then motivated them for the next game, results 6:3 win (Highest scoring game in league history), followed by a 5:3 win a few days later.
I haven't quite got the nack of team meetings yet, I normally end up crippling the moral like I just have done and now from 4th were down to 7th and could easily drop further.
Amethyst21 - That's a fantastic start to the challenge. Back-to-back promotions! Putting me to shame out here in the Azores!
I have two questions, first one is a noob question^^
1) Does ticking top clubs thing increase the number of newgens in the future? Because a single nation means a very small number of leagues, therefore lame players. And if it's a lower class league, for example I'll be doing Turkey, it would mean playing with subpar players in the top division. I'd welcome an insight about the newgen issue with this challenge
2) Why didn't you add Greece to the challenge? :/
Have just seen this player in a recent game, thought it said Kurt at first as i'd seen quite a few players with the surname Kurt in Turkey.
Things going quite well at the moment, but it's near impossible i'll be getting auto promotion, so play-offs is the best i could do now. Still 7 games to go.
Main problem is that i'm £300k in the red
Last edited by Charlesbeams; 25-10-2011 at 11:27.
2) Greece isn't included in BEN because it is covered by Gundo's European Adventure. The cut off for which leagues would be in which version was decided last year, and has persisted over to this season as well.
LLR - I know what you mean. I still feel like morale is at least a bit to important in this game and should be tuned down somewhat.
Long Islander - Looks like a tough season. Hope you can push up the table next season and maybe into the playoffs. Good luck!
Biscotti - Cheers, but I can't afford any more players. Already slightly above my £6.7k weekly wage budget and can only offer £85 a week now to key players. With most half-decent players expecting £300-600 a week it's hard to have a big squad, at least with some quality in it. I find it's a lot harder to go above your wage budget as well this version. The board caps me off way faster than before.
danger_mouse - I'm horrible at those to. Only tried twice so far though. Once in the demo, as Manchester United. At the start of that season I said I thought we were good enough to win the league and 90% of the squad went from superb to good or below in morale. Nani went from superb to abysmal and never recovered in the half season I played. The 2nd time was in this save, and I don't wanna talk about it.
My season is done, so I'll post an update soon.
League: (Finished 3rd)
Things started badly but eventually got better and better, but the top side were just too good meaning i was in the play-offs once again.
Play-offs: (Lost in Semi Final)
First game was good, but the 2nd was a disaster, losing 4-1 to a side who i'd already beat in the league twice this season. My top scorer was out for the game too though, which i believe made a bit of a difference. Disappointing as i thought i could go all the way.
Turkish Cup: (Lost in 2nd Round)
Worse than last season as i lost to a Division 1 side 4-0, i was never planning on getting far in this anyway.
Brought in less people this season and again all free. Most of them did pretty well other than Sertac Baydar who ended up injured a lot of the time. Hakan Cevik was easily the best of the few player i did get, and he was Division 2 signing of the season. Will be looking to get in some more for the next season.
Happy to reach the play-offs but losing 4-1 was really disappointing, made the season seem like a waste of time to me. I really need to push for 1st place, as it seems to be the only way i'll be going up at the minute. Finances are getting worse and i'm pretty sure i'll be in the red by around £1m at the end of next season.
Better luck next year i guess.

Casa Pia Atlético Clube - Season Review 2013/14
3rd in Second League (pred: 12th) | Transfers | Finances | Graph
The League.
Long story short, for those that don't wanna read the rest : The season was the exact opposite of last season, but with the same ending. We were horrible for the first 2/3s and excellent for the last 1/3, but lost promotion on the final day.
It started a bit like last season with lots of draws and very few wins. The difference being that we didn't score goals, not being helped by Lapas absence. Well, we did score, but in 8 of the 10 first league matches we scored 0 or 1 goal. Our defense however was pretty good, and by the time Lapa came back we were mid-table, but only 6 points behind the leaders. He didn't really find his form from last season either though, as you can see in the squad part further down.
The first 20 or so games of this season I don't think we played a single match with what I would call my first choice 11 because of constant injuries. It showed, as we had a 8-7-6 win-draw-loss record after 21 games. That still left us 7th in the table and only 7 points behind 2nd place though. We finally found some form in the last 9 matches, winning 7 in a row before drawing at home to P. Ferreira in the 2nd to last game of the season. This left us 2 points behind Feirense, who we happened to be playing on the final day away from home.
Just like last season we needed a win to get promotion. Injuries had began piling up again though, with Luca D'Andrea, Raoul Esseboom, and Thiaguinho all missing from my preferred 1st eleven. When Kristijan Lukacic decided to leave to play a U21 match for his country instead of helping us out as well, we were down to 1 first choice player in the back 4. We still managed to give Feirense a good fight, and frankly I thought we deserved to win. But our good spell was over and we lost 2-1. Another final day nightmare.
Looking back at the season I think two things went wrong.
1. To many injuries to key players. Long term injuries. I don't think I've ever had to send 3 key players to a specialist before Christmas before.
2. I changed my pitch size to minimum before this season (from standard before), and I think that killed my strikers. Have a look at our home record versus our away record if you like, I think it speaks for itself. My plan was to concede less, which didn't happen (1 more conceded than last season at home). The tactic I use rely a lot on strikers (and AMC at times) being played through and either scoring or squaring it to score most of our goals. With such a short pitch that seemed to happen a lot less. Considering it didn't help our defense one bit either I'll be going back to standard next season, and hopefully that'll help my quick strikers, Lapa in particular.
In some ways this season was better than the last as we got 3 points more though. If this season was last season instead we'd be promoted, if that makes sense at all.
Taca de Portugal (fixtures)
Lost in 4th round to Sp. Covilha. Not good.
League Cup (1st phase | 2nd phase)
We managed to get through the first group stage this time around, but lost to Braga in the 2nd phase.
The Squad (ratings)
Here's my preferred 1st eleven atm.
GK - Thiago Maia
DR - Luca D'Andrea
DC - Igor
DC - Raoul Esseboom
DL - Kristijan Lukacic
DMC- Stefan Ilsanker
MC - Pedro Carvalho
MC - Thiaguinho
AMC- Walter Portugal
SC - Ralf Christ
SC - Lapa
No one really blew my mind this season, but Ralf Christ was probably our most important player. Lukacic, D'Andrea and Thiaguinho had a good first season. I also like that Ralf Christ has gone from 8 acceleration to 11 since I signed him 2 seasons ago. Not sure if it's the individual focus on quickness or his regular training schedule that's done it, but I like it. Hopefully with a slightly longer pitch at home next season him and Lapa can really shine. If I can manage to keep them that is.
The Club
Financially we're doing worse every year. £700k in red now. I cut our staff wages with £100k+ but that didn't do much apparently. Average attendance went down around 600 to 2,438 this season, so I guess that's part of it. If my board don't up the wage budget on the league reset I'm gonna lose Stefan Ilsanker as his contract is running out and I can only offer him £85 of the £500+ he's gonna expect atm. That's the only key player we'll lose though, but everyone but 2 players have just one year left on their contract, so I have some decisions to make. Sell or let them run out basically, unless my board magically raise the budget by a few £k.
From the top division Estoril is coming back down and are taking Gil Vicente with them. Their 3 best payed players combined earn more than our entire wage budget, so I would expect them to do well unless they lose a lot of players in the summer. Also, in case anyone is wondering, in the top division FC Porto and SL Benfica have won the league 2 times each in the last 4 seasons. No one has managed to get into the top 3 but the big 3 so far.

Unlucky with promotion Ohanzee
Some new players signed
DC - Kamil Bolel - I think defence is one of the key problems with my team, so hopefully this guy can make a bit of a difference
DR - Zafer Aydogdu - Another defender as DR seems to be one of the weakest spots in my team
ML - Erdinc Karakas - Despite having two fairly good left sided midfielders, it was another place i felt needed to be a bit better, got this guy on loan
ST - Furkan Aydin - And finally the striker, hopefully he can work well with Ederniz. This guy though, seems to think he is the best player at the club now and he probably is, just hope it doesn't affect the other players. He is a former Fenerbahce player.

Sorry Ohanzee, every time I think of Casa Pia this comes up in my mind... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casa_Pi..._abuse_scandal
I found that going in, saying what I actually think, and then listening to the Captain was a good start (Oh and be calm, or Passionate, never aggressive or assertive at the start lol.
Also 2nd last game of the season, I finally saw why I am paying him €1,200 p/w - Check out the cross from Grosjean to set-up the goal.

Oh and my board have injected £475k into the club, but we are still in debt, £722k in debt.

League Table
Torpedo Armavir - End Of Season Report 12/13
League Graph
Well as previously mentioned the league form before the Winter Break went from very poor to very good in a short amount of time and it meant that with less than half the season to go after the break we were sat at a comfortable position 5 points above relegation. The season after the break started off with a mixture of results but more positive than negative, however, we decided that for the run in to the end of the season we would go on a horrendous losing streak. Of the last 10 games we lost 7, 5 of which were in a row and in the last 6 games, this was mainly due to the lack of putting the ball in the back of the net. This run meant that on the last day of the season we were only 3 points away from the last relegation spot and we were playing the team one place below us and on the same points as us. Of course with such a run at our backs I assumed the worst until I looked and saw that the only team that could catch us out of relegation were playing top of the league and already promoted Krylja Sovetov. We went 1-0 up early on with a striker getting his first of the season before being pegged back and for the rest of the game being on the back foot, however, as the board went up for added time a corner was whipped in and we made it 2-1 to end the league on a high note.
One of the main problems I think I may face as manager is that money is a major issue, I am constantly just over the wage budget but despite this we have lost over £1M almost all from wages. My main GK retired from professional football but doesn't mind playing semi-pro still, however, I can't keep him because I can't offer him semi-pro terms, the sub GK also left because I didn't play him as well as about 10 others, although this didn't bring my budget down enough so I will still have to wait until the transfer window in order to get rid of someone just to sign a GK.
Players - (Transfers)
Just as at the Winter Break two men deserve a special mention:
Welkinho - Was the top goalscorer and only player to reach double figures, also was lead assist with 3 more than the next player and had the most MoM awards, with 5 more than his nearest rival. Almost certainly the best player in the team and I am thankful that I have at least one striker that score regularly.
Igor Lutovinov - Joint second top goalscorer from DC which doesn't say a lot about my strikers when he only managed 6 goals, solid defender throughout.
It bodes well that both these players are young and might have a few more years in them for me before moving on or hopefully I will be able to take them where they will ultimately want to go.
The players that came in the January Transfer Window:
Rumen Kostov - Bulgarian U19, he only played a small part in the latter part of the season because he was first away as he was struggling to adapt and when he came back the foreign player rule dicated when I could give him time.
Tomas Cizek - Vetern winger who managed 4 assists in 14 games but tended to drift out of games easily.
Pavel Mogilevskiy - A good centre back that got 2 on his debut then got injured, played a few games after his injury but didn't shine.
Tchocomar Sidibe - Very promising youngster, brought in on a trial and was immediately told that he was our best centre mid, played the first few games he was with the club then requested a leave of absence because he was struggling to adapt.
The major problem with the team is the strikers, the record they have is utter rubbish. Collectively they have 84 starts, 28 sub appearances and only 22 goals, considering 11 of those goals came from one player and another got 6 it really makes a mockery of the 7 strikers I have.
I got knocked out in the first game I played which occured before I had even played a pres-season friendly, not sure I would have wanted a run anyway because of the ridiculous scheduling that goes on. Before the Winter Break a game is played every Saturday and Wednesday without fail so where they fit them in I couldn't begin to imagine.
The youth candidates did not look good but I signed a few in positions that may be useful in the future for cover. The club is massively in debt. The club has 1,463 season ticket holders and an average attendance of 2,899 which is promising as the capacity is only 5000.
So going into the 2 weeks off for the Xmas break we've played the four big teams in the league - Barcelona B, Real Sociedad B (thought they were racing Santander B), Osasuna B and Bilbao Athletic. Beat both Osasuna and Bilbao 2-1 and 2-0 respectively, got a 2-2 draw away at Barcelona B when we should have won and lost 1-0 to Real Sociedad B.
Oh and here's a look at the League Table.
Lusitânia Açores - 2013/14 Season Summary
News in Brief
Finances - £182,275
League | Graph | Playoffs
In Depth
Finances - Another season of losing money. I'm not entirely surprised. I never make any money at this time. Thankfully the board are quite nice in occasionally pumping some cash in to help with the running costs.
Transfers - Not helped this season by my board deciding to be pretty tight (I realise I've said different above, but seriously! £35 p/w!). But still, we put together a decent squad.
Fascinating season. We started off mediocrely. Heading into December we were sitting in mid-table. Looking unlikely to get relegated with some solid, unspectacular form. However, I don't know what changed then. I lost to Farense on December 1st. It would be our last. Between then and the end of the season we would win 18 and draw 6 in an unbeaten run of 24 games. Meaning we are yet to lost in 2014. This form saw us rise steadily up the table, eventually hitting top spot, eventually tying up the league win with one game to spare, a game we won 6-1! That saw us through to the play offs where we would face the winners of the Central and North sections. The first game saw us draw, we won the final three games to see us top this mini-league and head into the Second League. First promotion = DONE!
Joao Nuno - A pretty decent season for a man earning £35 p/w. First choice all season, and actually played pretty well.
Alex Kakuba - Back up player. Did a decent job when called upon.
Bruno - First choice left back. Not sure he's got what it takes to make it at a higher level. But we'll see what I've got to play with.
Ramon - I signed a Brazilian but soon found myself with a Maltese international. Started the season behind Daniel in the pecking order, but pushed past him and never looked back, I'm hopeful he might be good enough for the league above.
Alan - Tower of strength at the back. His ability in the air was useful at set pieces, both defensive and attacking. He's one who, if the gap isn't too big, might be capable of performing in the league above.
Daniel - Still see him as a decent player, but unfortunately he fell behind his rivals. Useful to have around.
Antonio Marcos - Main man at right back and the team's captain, he played well on the whole. Unsure of his future I'm afraid.
Januario - Left winger who spent a chunk of the season on the right to cover for an injured Catarino.
Diego Barrios - Technically gifted but physically weak, I'm wavering on this lad's future.
Ricardo Catarino - He's not the most gifted player and misses some seemingly easy chances, if he could finish properly he'd have hit 15 goals this season. Still, he played well and did his job when needed.
Diego - Back up for the first half of the season, lost out on that role to Lima after he arrived in January.
Lima - Brought in on loan, I think he's a talented player, if possible I'd look to get him back next season.
Robson - Excellent player in the middle of the park. Missed the last five weeks of the regular season, but returned in time for the playoffs. I'd like to think there's a role for him next season.
Oluwatosin Michael - Cheap back up to Robson. Did a decent enough job when needed. Saw us through the last few weeks to get us into the playoffs.
Lucas - Leading scorer. Hit a fantastic run of form mid-season that galvanised our push to the top of the league. I have a feeling he can cut it in the league above.
Pedro Costa - Scored crucial goals. A pity he's another with no pace, but he will be here next season barring budget constraints.
Andre Goncalo - Turned up for the last few games when Lucas was injured and saw us through to the play offs. Well done Andre...
We won two games in the cup, reaching the third round. The board were pleased.

Have a new striker, but he won't arrive until January. Scored 20 goals in this league last season, so hopefully he can do similar when he joins me.
Well done Flashman and PRDH on staying up and getting promoted
Great season there PRDH
Great to see Carsten Kammlott still here who I even took on as a sub in the CL final on the last game. He's also scored a lot in pre-season. Made a lot of signings and still got 20k left in my wage budget. Might save it for next season.
Excellent season PRDH
Looks like a quality striker there Charles
Looking promising there Almondo
LLR - Sweet assist! I like all those new animations they've added to 3D. Dunno if that's one of them, but I haven't seen anything like it before at least.
Charlesbeams - Awesome away win! This is the season, I can feel it! Öztürk looks very promising. *edit* D'oh, didn't see your last post before posting, I'm confident you can turn it around though.
Flashman - Tough season, but good job staying clear off those bottom 5. Hopefully you can find some better strikers and push upwards next season.
Almondo - Looking good Almondo! Can those "B" teams be promoted or would you still go up if you finished behind them? Best not to take any chances, go for the title!
PRDH - Awesome season! That's quite a turn around from 12th last year. Really well done, and congrats! Good luck at the next level!
minisav - Good luck in the coming season!
3 games in I'm joint top with 7 points. Only conceded once. Just lost my two first choice strikers in that 3rd match though. Got back-ups so should be fine.
Thanks Amethyst, TBH i'm quite astonished how well I've had the team playing this season.Originally Posted by Amethyst21

This cup match coming up will hopefully raise morale a bit, as well as the team meeting i just had which went well. (won 5-2, but it went to extra time, it all changed when my young striker made his return from injury, hopefully he can change things in the league too)
Last edited by Charlesbeams; 25-10-2011 at 22:06.
Reserve striker scores in a 1-0 home win vs Sandhausen who were also top. Top of the league on my own by 2 points Closely followed by my FM10 team Darmstadt!
Thanks guys!
In the continuing fight of me v wage budget, the board increase the total budget by £400 p/w while also taking the club professional meaning all players I sign now want a load more money. Grr....
Still, if we didn't want a challenge we wouldn't be here!
This is NOT GOOD.
Clyde Losses
Clyde goes Semi-Pro
Will have a hard time finding players to sign as they must be on part time contracts. We will get through our second season but when contracts come up for renewal, I'm screwed. Better make some money.

General News
Financially we lost a huge sum of money this year, the board invested €354k throughout the season to keep us afloat, I did spend a large time over wage budget, so I can probably except a lot of the blame for this. I will be working to stay under it in the new season, with 3 players retiring and a couple leaving the wages should drop off now. I am going to target to not spend more than 1/11th of my budget on each position. Motivation came and went during the season, it was related partly to the loss straight after my mid season update, but also a 2 month injury to my number 1 centre back and my realisation that I had absolutely no cover for the position. A team meeting got the motivation back up and then the team started to gel again.
The League
A complete roller-coaster of a season, we started off brilliantly and by halfway we were sitting near the top of the league and looked a great shot at the title or at the least into the playoffs. After 19 games we were sitting in 2nd place, we had 4 losses, 3 draws and a stunning 12 wins, the effort was shown by the 3:0 effort at Conquense, & 5:1 vs Avila. Then after the break we had Dumast go down for 7 weeks with an MCL strain, that was basically the beginning of the fall, a streak of injuries and suspensions saw the morale start to drop, and it seemed like we were going to plummet towards relegation. Over the next 13 games we managed just a single win, 5 draws and 7 losses, which saw us drop to our lowest ever position in the league of 8th. The terrible run was defined by results like the 0:8 thrashing at Orihuela, and the 3:5 loss vs Castilla. I was worried that we weren't going to be able to break the run, but I ended up calling a team meeting and asking them to pick their heads up and show the league what we could do, well the next game out defined what a difference a bit of morale could do. We met Huracan Valencia, and after just 12 minutes we led 3 nil, and carried on from there to a final result of 6:3 (Record for goals in a game), the next game we downed Zaragoza "B" 5:3, 4 wins in our final 6 games meant we managed to climb back up to 6th place, somewhat respectable, but we were left to rue, what could've been.

Player Stats
Team Stats
We weren't entered in any cup competitions this season, but will be looking forward to them in the new year.
The Players
Squad Stats
Trevi (ESP) - He really was not amazing, it looked early on like he was up to the level for this team, but after his food poisoning he never looked like coming right again. I feel he is the reason we conceded soo many goals. Will be looking to replace this later in the offseason.
Jose Sa (POR)
Guilliaume Dumast (FRA) - The other star signing of the season was also from France, he scored from corners a fair bit, but he was also amazing at the back, when he went out for 7 weeks we fell apart, I hope he can stay together for the new season and we will be solid with him at the back. 30(0) 18G 1A.
Juan Francisco Aranda (ESP) - He started as the back-up right back, but he stepped in during an injury and ran the spot since then, he was solid on defense, but also suffered when Dumast was injured. 0G 1A.
Rodolfo Simoes (POR) - Like Aranda he started on the bench as a back-up, but he quickly overtook those infront of him and has been a good signing for the club. Working with Dumast & Aranda they are the core of a back line that really needs a fourth member. 29(5) 0G 2A.
Steeven Willems (BEL) - Not the best 2nd centre defender, but he was solid enough. His average rating is ruined by the period where he was the only player we had who was any good at the back, and he was lined up alongside some youngsters. 20(0) 5G 0A.
Carlos De la Vega (ESP)
Nuno Malheiro (POR)
Fran Moreno (ESP) - One of the old hands of our team this season, he played as the lead midfielder all season and showed some real skill in missing only one game and managing to play some great through balls, likely captain candidate in new season. 37(0) 3G 9A.
Andre Gomes (POR) - The youngster was solid in the midfield, but he really didn't do anything spectacular. I don't actually expect too much from the more defensive minded midfielder, but he was good when called upon. 22(1) 0G 1A.
Franck Grosjean (FRA) - This was one of my signings of the season, he came in and took control of the right side of the park, he was excellent even through our period of terrible results. Some excellent assists as evidenced here, and a good eye for goal as well. 16(0) 6G 9A.
Taygun Kuru (TUR) - He came to the club in January and was part of the period where we got smoked, but he still performed to a good level for me, I am looking forward to seeing what he can do going forward, especially because he has the capability on the left or centre. 19(0) 2G 7A.
Manu (ESP) - He played well in the first half of the season, but he was comfortably replaced in the middle of the season by Grosjean, and I was contemplating whether I should re-sign him or not, when he made the decision for me by deciding to retire. 24(3) 5G 14A.
Alessio Innocenti (ARG)
Juanma (ESP)
Quique (ESP)
Ricardo Alves (POR)
Cristo Marrero (ESP) - He was our target man for much of the season, he spent 18 hours without a goal, and I was thinking about selling him at the end of the season, then he was injured once more and that decided it, will not be re-signed. He did manage to do pretty well infront of goal while he played. 31(0) 13G 7A.
Miguel Herlein (POR) - He came into the squad in January as a bit of a hunt around for a better goal scorer, and he did exactly what I wanted, he scored on his debut, then scored a couple of braces through the end of the season. A perfect poacher for the side. 17(0) 12G 3A.
Emrah Yetgin (TUR) - One of the substitutes, he got a little annoyed at being on the bench, but he will be looking at a bit more time next season after his effort in the final games. 6(9) 3G 4A.
Kirill Veltsin (RUS)
Memo (ESP)

Squad Stats
The Youth Stars
Jose Luis Ramos (ESP) - This youngster was signed as a bit of cover as he was cheap, likely to star on as one of the few back-ups who stepped up and did their job solidly even if he wasn't amazing.
Angel - YP1 (ESP) - The youth product plays best as a defensive mid, I will be working on trying to make him a bit of a star.
Luis (ESP) - Didn't really do much, but is cheap on wages with a bit of potential.
Ivan Vilches - YP1a (ESP) - The second youth product is a Poacher, likely to be trained on finishing and then possibly get his shot.
The History
A Statistic in the Spotlight
This section will highlight one club leaderboard, and show the top 10, plus the best of the current crop.
With Fran Moreno featuring in all bar one game this season, the only one he missed was because of a suspension for yellow cards. Leading from the middle of the park he was more consistent than our goalkeeper.

The Future
In Brief
Predicted: 15th
My Aim: Playoffs
Expectations: Avoid Relegation
Transfer Budget: €0
Wage Budget: €12.25k
Youth: Angel
Signings: Ricardo Vignalli (Free), Anthony Marin (Free), Bogdan Moldovan (Free)
Transfers Out: Manu, Juanma, Cristo Marrero, Javi Delgado, Memo, Carlos De la Vega,
Vignalli was signed as a new partner for Herlein upfront, he has already joined, but I couldn't register him so is yet to play for us. I managed to fill what I saw as our biggest issues a second central defender in Marin, and a new goalkeeper, yes he is supposedly only as good as our current, but he has the potential going forward, exactly what I need. I am currently 1,600 over wage budget, as it dropped more than 2k in the offseason, so hoping to sell the fringe players and get some cheaper replacements, but believe my starting line-up is now strong enough to gain promotion.
Confidence in me, Fans love the style of Football:
Which has led to a contract extension for me through til 2015.
Nice update LLR. Like the look of Moldovan, should be a good keeper I think
As for myself. Lets just say the Premier League has been...rather difficult, the top sides are putting out B teams against me and absolutely crushing me. For example Porto just outshot me 24-2 (only 6 on target for Porto saved me from a crushing defeat). It is absolutely men against boys when its the top teams. Fortunately it appears that some of the sides around me are *really* bad, so there is a possibility of staying up. I also have this striker coming in January, so I'm hoping he's able to fire me into 14th for survival
Hi I am joining this challenge if thats ok? I have taken over Turkish club Hacettepe SK. Here are my manager profile and club profile screens. If I need to post anything else could somebody please let me know, I am new to this . I hopefully will do a much better in depth summary at the end of the season
manager profile
Club Profile
Welcome Mattie, that looks perfect to me, good luck with Hacettepe...
Good season LLR.
And good luck Mattie
I've managed to have at least 10 shots per game I think so far and we are dominating just not putting away chances. Ah well, hopefully we can continue grinding out points.
We had a poor start to the league as we struggled to score goals and therefore struggled to pick up points. This meant we were stuck in and around the relegation and playouts positions. Thankfully after changing a couple of players and where they played we were able to improve morale and gradually moved up the table as a result. In the end we finished comfortably in mid table in 10th place. A sign of our improvement was that halfway through the season we were 10 points of the playoff spots and we finished the season 12 points off therefore showing our second half of the season was much better.
Serie C Cup
We qualified from the group stage of this cup as as the best third placed team. Unfortunately we didn't get much further as we went out in the 1st Round.
GK - Emanuele Bianchi - One of our best players this season as he did well all season and finish with a high average rating.
DR - Valentino Ostieri - First choice right back, played well did pick up a couple of minor injuries.
DC - Giovanni Iodice - A rock at the heart of our defence, quality player.
DC - Carlo Scalera - Solid defender who i switched between DC and DL.
DL - Daniel D'Isidoro - Young and with a lot of potential, played at DL once i had moved Scalera to DC.
DMC - Francesco Giraldi and Guerino Stella - 2 very good players who i rotated at DMC. Was expecting more from Giraldi due to his experience but in the end i was more impresed with my username sake Stella who did really well despite his young age.
MC - Manuel Bonacina - Bonacina was the main player used at MC, however he i did drop him early on in the season when our results were't going our way. Did ok when he came back into the team.
AMR - Davide Arigo - Over the course of the whole season Davide was certainly our best performer. He contributed both goals and assists and had a high average rating. No wonder he was voted our Fans Player of the Year.
AML - Alessadro Prandi - Prandi was our most used left winger. He didn't score many but did contribute in terms of assists.
ST - Daniele Nohman - Started the season at left wing and didn't show what i expected but improved when i moved him up alongside Spampatti.
ST - Christian Spampatti - After a very slow start to life at Seregno (Didn't score in his first dozen games) he certainly improved and easily ended the season as our top goalscorer which also included a goal from within our own half.
Other players(over 10+ starts)
Tommaso Guarino
Salvatore Rametta
Fabrizio Carboni
Next Season
I am looking to at least achieve a playoff spot in the upcoming season and i hope promotion. I have let several players go and brought many in which has put me a bit over the wage budget so the pressure is on to do well in the league. I'm not how how it works with which teams play on Series C2/A and C2/B as we have now been moved to play in Serie C2/B.
Good luck to all the participants. I'd get my save going when I have the time in a few weeks, not even bought the game because it'll just sit there
Especially good luck to those managing in Turkey as it's a bit tiresome in the lowest division when you are not storming it. Nearly all of the top half finishes in 5-8 points difference, making the last few weeks a rather disturbing experience if you are not at your best performance in April/May. On the other hand though, 2nd tier allows you to buy 2 foreigners, though they have to be U23 I believe, meaning you can build around them for a promotion push in a year or two. Back to back promotions might be available depending on the teams in 2nd tier. Most are not that powerful than the 3rd tier teams but some ex-premier teams melt faces so to speak. Premier Division is easier with your available foreign quota I'd say. You can easily survive it if you can get a decent core in the team and get them to gel quickly. Pushing for top half is not that hard as well as teams tend to fall hard every few years in Turkey, consistency is not a word you can hear too often here.
Your worst experiences will come in Europe though. You have the freedom to sign any number of foreigners (at least it's what is the rule in real life, not sure for the game) but you can only play 6 of them every week, meaning a hard duty of man management awaits you if you sign a lot to be successful in Europe. Add the fact that the top 3 teams in Turkey or European mid tablers will be all over your star players when you are starting to push further. So good luck to you all, you'll need it.
Amethyst21, that Abimael guy looks like an excellent prospect for that league I'd say. If you stay up and manage to get a few more like him, you may as well push higher in no time.
LLR, Excellent updates as usual Des. It'll be a big surprise for me if your squad fails to get promotion somehow.
StellaF1, keep going mate. Playoffs are definitely on the cards for you I'd say.
Long Islander, Gutted to see you've turned semi-pro and this is the first time I have seen a club go back to cut losses
TanO, Yay! One more stadia without an athletics track. Though that one looks like a running track for horses me thinks Good luck in Portugal.
I wish some of the team talk options were worded better, things like "go out there and impress me" don't really do a lot, would prefer something like "you can win today" or something similar and the "do it for the fans" one never seems to help either.
As for my game, things have turned around a little now, but i'll get the forum curse again soon no doubt.

So, as you know (because I keep moaning about it), wage budget is something of an issue for me. I thought I'd go to my board and ask for a parent club, you know, someone who can loan us players without us paying wages, to save money. They come back saying they don't want to rely on loan players. If you don't want me to loan players - give me some money to spend on players' wages. Grumble...
Two promising youth players just arrived with the youth candidates, only real problem is their physical stats, hopefully they can improve them though.
AMRC - Erhan Erdem
ST - Ustun Dinc

hope a get paid tomorrow so a can start this challenge will be hopeing to get clyde
Heaps of players just left that were awful as their contracts were ending. Have 20k p/w spare now Not sure what I can add to the team bar maybe a very good striker. Hmm.
minisav - Damn you! You have ten times my entire wage budget spare!
Charlesbeams - Decent prospects there. As you say, if they can improve their pace they'll be very useful players to have about.
tommy1872 - Welcome aboard in advance!
Sorry PRDH. Used a bit of that to sign a new GK prospect and a new striker. Best striker in my team and he scores a double on his debut. He had 5 goals in 4 appearances for his old club before I signed him so I know we have someone who can score!
2012/13 F.C. Pampilhosa Start of Challenge Post
Ricardo Chimenez tempted out of retirement
Manager Screenshot 1
Manager Screenshot 2
Ricardo Chimenez has been appointed manager at newly promoted F.C. Pampilhosa, who play their football at the 1000 capacity Campo Germano Godinho. A tiny club with big ambitions, the club is currently valued at £55k.
As expected there is no trasfer budget this season and the wage budget is £3k per week, but I'll try to keep it at £2k a week if possible.
The squad is limited and number 1 priority has to be a new goalkeeper. That said they have 3 decent strikers with potential and current captain Fernando is good defender but at 38 surely this will be his last season.
My good young strikers -
Luis Pedrosa
Pedro Costa
Alexander Jakubov
Time for the hard work to begin !
Goals for next season :
Stay Up
Code:Season Team League Finished Notes 2011-2012 FC Pampilhosa 2nd Division Central
First loss int he 7th match of the season. Have since won 4-0, 3-0 & 3-1. Sit top by 3 points after 10 games.
League: (Finished 2nd)
If only i'd won a few more games, i could have easily took top spot and not had to go through the play-offs once again. Overall i was pleased with the league season though.
Play-offs: (Lost in Quarter Final)
It's happened again, losing in the play-off, didn't even get to the semi-final this time round, really annoyed at it. I expect if it happens next season, i'll be angry. 1st season i wasn't too unhappy as i wasn't even expecting to reach it. 2nd was disappointed as i thought i could have made it. 3rd i really thought i would have done it.
Turkish Cup: (Lost in 2nd Round)
First round was simple and we almost reached the 3rd round but we lost out on penalties.
Brought in a few players, but clearly it wasn't enough. But i'm happy enough with the contribution most of them made. Really need to think about the positions i'm lacking in and get better ones in for next season.
Overall i'm really annoyed that i havn't got promoted, but glad i've still got another chance, surely only so many more until they expect me to win the league. Finances are still bad, but we just got a new sponsorship deal, but that won't help loads really, need a takeover or something.
The plus is that i've gained a position in the league again, hopefully meaning i'll be 1st next season.
As you can probably tell, i don't take my time too much

Charlesbeams - that's seriously unlucky mate. based on your form though you'll be top next season. good luck mate.
LLR - solid season there mate, though i can understand the frustration. got a couple of players you have so interesting to see how they have played. struggling to get some game time in at moment so progress isn't great for me yet.
TanO - good to have you back in the challenge. good luck mate.
StellaF1 - good second half to the season. hopefully you can carry that through next season.
PRDH - feel your pain on the wages front. still i guess that's what makes the job a challenge...
if i haven't mentioned you sorry - this thread is so popular right now!!
Currently searching the transfermarket to strengthen my Citta di Pontedera team in front of the new season in Serie C2/A. Found a few good ones, but the consoritum that succesfully bought the club last spring didn't increase the wage budget at all so it's difficult to sign first team players AND backups. Reading through as I prepare the screenshots for my 2013/2014 preseason-report I wonder; How do I make these handy dropboxes in wich I can document my progress from year to year?
Really unlucky there Charlesbeam hopefully promotion is yours next season.
Also here's the best goal I've seen scored on my game so far
HD in full screen
Four games to go and im two points off a play-off spot, not to sure if we'll make it tho.
My expectations are Play-offs this season, so i'm guessing if things don't go well then it'll be Winner the season after, i don't want to give up on this, but i fear if it takes too long i probably will.
1005 season ticket holders not much more than before, but at least it's in the 1000s now
Edit: why can't my strikers score this season, 4 draws in first 4 games, just 3 goals scored.
Last edited by Charlesbeams; 26-10-2011 at 22:00.
Half way point. 6 point lead with a game in hand. Only lost twice and drawn twice so far. Solid defence have only conceded 11 in 19 games. Very chuffed with that. 9 goals in 11 starts for the late signing I made. Definitely worth the 85k I paid.
Unlucky Charlesbeams I'd bet my whole betfair account on your promo next season though !
Here's the nicest goal I've scored so far. He'll never manage that again... he's my 5th choice out of 5 Midfielders !
Hey everyone.
I think I will try this challenge again. I have been doing some holidaying in Italy, but I still have not decided which team I will pick. At the moment it looks like I'm going to go for Acqui though. I have recently been reading about the baroque towns of Noto Valley, so it would be nice to manage Noto, but the club has such a low reputation its practically impossible for them to be promoted from Serie D.
If someone is interested, I have Italian league saves (date 29th June 2012) I could upload that have a bit more unlikely clubs available for managing. Albese, Cantù San Paolo, Castel Rigone, Flaminia CivitaCastellana, Ischia, Legnago, Orvietana, Rudianese and Vis Pesaro, to mention a few. The saves have large 12.0.0 DB, all Italian players & players from top European and South American clubs. In case someone has interest, PM me so I don't miss your post.
Academico de Viseu F.C. 2014-2015 Season Report
League : This was our first season in the top flight, and it was always going to be a season filled with many losses. I took advantage of our newly found top flight status and ability to scout the world to find some young prospects to bolster the squad. A couple were found but it was generally the players from the Second League that helped up survive in the top flight. Someone on here pointed out that there isn't much different between the top sides in the Second League and the lower Premier Division clubs and they were right, teams like Beira-Mar and Feirense were no better than us, and in the case of Setubal they were far, far worse. Would have taken 14th so getting 13th is overachieving . Graph
This image shows how far out of our depth we are against the top sides. They have 20x our budget!
When playing against the top sides, and even the top half sides like Braga or Naval, we had little chance of taking anything from the game, so we basically just set up shop and hoped for the best. It rarely came up for us. We did manage to ride our luck and beat Benfica once though, which was nice. Sent 47,000 fans home unhappy .
Cups : We went out meekly in both, really early. Let us focus on the league, but meant that I lacked the ability to play some of the young prospects I signed.
Key Players:
Vracevic : Now by far the best player at the club, a true midfield general. There are EPL teams sniffing around him and he has a minimum release clause of 2.3 million, for which I'd be happy to let him go as he is way to good for the club. He's never moaned about wanting to go to a bigger club and for that I'm a huge fan of him. In a memorable game against Leiria he bagged a hat-trick as we won 4-0. A great player
Abdou : Has now played in three divisions for Viseu and looks likely to be at the club for a while at least. Solid, is unspectacular
Simoes : Another that has made the run through three divisions, I'd like to be replacing him at some point. He's okay, but cannot be a regular first XI player for even a mid table team
Assis : Has the no1 jersey...but for how long? He's decent and can probably keep us in the division, but has to be upgraded at some point
Paulo : A new signing but really didn't live up to expectations.
Uzun : The winger with a funny name was the first choice left winger for us, when fit.
Leitao : Top goalscorer and remains first choice striker despite me trying to find others to take his place. Scores the most ugly goals (defenders clearing it off him and into the net etc..). On the favored personnel at Viseu and is a key player for the club, despite mediocre attributes
Krivokapic : Best defender at the club, was only derailed by a seperated shoulder caused by a collision in training with one of our backup strikes Chipped in 4 goals which is a nice return from a defender
Anvar : The man with the unpronounceable last name was the club's record signing (26k! really splashing the cash...) and was.... HORRIBLE. Improved slightly at the end of the year, but I don't know if he'll be a the club for much longer (I also should fire the scout that recommended him....)
Olivieri : I have a weakness for signing Canadians, but this one looks like he could make himself useful at Viseu, plays in the midfield and after complaining about not being in the first team, I told him to prove that he could cut it at this level, and that he did, making himself (along with Abdou and Vracevic) the 3 midfielders in the middle for Viseu.
Transfers : Most on a free, many of them failed to make an impact on the first team.
Finances : Could be worse. Home games with the Big 3 make a recognizable impact on the finances.
Attendance : We have very good attendance for the division which is pretty interesting. Helpful in the financial department as well.
Facilities : Pretty threadbare, and really lacking the finances to make improvements
Youth : Signed a couple, but no one appears to have a shot at breaking the first team
Next season: Survive again, and hope to build a foundation on which to go forward on. If Vracevic is sold, will need to find a good midfielder to replace him as we really lack quality in the center of the park. Other than that it's going to be playing 4-5-1 and hoping to nick goals on the counter. It's going to be a long build before we can even think about mid table, or Europe. I'm enjoying the save, however its depressing to go into games knowing that it's a good result to lose only 2-0.
Well done on the survival Amethyst. Yuo stayed up and that's the most important thing for the first season in the top flight plus you got a result over one of the big boys.
Peña Sport F.C season Review 2013/14
Final Position 1st
League, Position Graph, Squad, Finances, Transfers
The League was a shock for me, especially with Barcelona B in the league. I only wanted a mid table finish or maybe even a Playoff place so to win the league with 2 games to go was a great feeling for me. I think a lot of the success comes from the players I brought in during the Pre Season with Kurt Weuts being a star for the side. However winning the league doesn't mean automatic promotion you have to go through a set of playoffs. Also even though the position graph shows us up near the top all season I kept waiting for a huge slump to hit us but it didn't come.
The first round of the playoffs saw us drawn against Second Division B4 champions Cordoba. Taking a 3-2 win at home saw us optomistic of getting a result away from home. Gaining a 2-2 draw at Cordoba saw us drawn against Salamanca in the Final. In the first leg we managed to eke out a win despite being down to ten men for 65 minutes of the game. Another 2-2 away draw saw us win the tie and saw us gain promotion.
Dele - The First choice 'keeper after Eloi didn't work out in his couple of starts at the beginning of the season. he was solid between the sticks and kept a fair few clean sheets as well
C. Garde - Moved over to right back after I brought in Bidari. He played well there and will probably carry on in the position next season.
I. Garde - Once again solid at the back although he did earn his fair share of yellow and red cards.
Bidari - The 24 year old was a great defender for us and had a really good first season with us.
Jimenez - The first choice left back played well but did spend a bit of time out with injuries and has to be looking over his shoulder at his young backup.
Gómez - A great season despite having some injuries saw this right winger become a main stay in the side and he was one of two players keeping the same guy out of the starting line up.
Diego Puente - The eighteen year old came in and promptly managed to push Juanma out of the first team with his solid work in the middle of the park.
Txitxo - The captain of the team and also a very good presence in the centre of the park especially when teamed with Diego Puente.
Jorgito - Had a good season for us down the left and was keeping Ismael out of the first eleven along with Gomez.
Dolly Menga - A great season up front for the young Belgian striker especially teamed with Weuts. On a side note I must stop yelling "Go on Dolly Mixture" when he's through on goal.
Kurt Weuts - A fantastic season for us saw him as the teams leading scorer. His work with Menga was great, probably due to them both being Belgian.
Elói - The backup keeper He didn't do too well and couldn't force Dele from the side.
Soto - Was good when he came in mainly at right back although he did get a couple of games at left back.
Ismael - Played most of his games off the bench but did get a fair few starts on both wings due to injuries. Had to make the decision not to renew his contract as he is 36 and a younger player can fill his role.
Kortina - Called up to the first team and has done well even though he hasn't scored a lot. That doesn't matter too much as he is only seventeen.
Herrera - Played well when he came into the side at left back while Jimenez was out injured. Can see him taking over in the not too distant future.
Pascual - Another youngster called up from the U19's when I need a player due to injuries and suspensions. Has played okay when he has been in the side.
Juanma - Played as a back up mainly but was decent enough when called upon.
Finances are really bad being over a million in the red
Transfers - The transfers brought in were mainly to bolster the side as we were lacking some quality in places. Those out were all released as they were on high wages and the money could be spent elsewhere.

Bogdan Moldovan (GK) - Another signing you have already seen, but a great preseason only conceded 1 goal.
Transfers Out
First Team
Trevi (GK) - He left for 4k so I made a profit and improved at the position.

Well the games against Palencia & Toledo are the ones that matter the most, they are both in the Segunda Divisions as well. So some huge victories in those two, especially given Palencia also finished 6th in their respective division last season.
The Team
So without Further ado, here is the team I expect to lead Parla in the 2nd Division B this season:
GK: Moldovan
DR: Aranda, DC: Marin & Dumast, DL: Simoes
MR: Grosjean, MC: Gomes & Alves, ML: Kuru
ST: Herlein & Vignali
We have 1595 season tickets so far, we're hoping to sell another 100, which is pretty good given the stadium only fits 4000, looking for a good average attendance this season of around 3000. The plan looked perfect until we lost Herlein for 2-3 months...
Well done on survival Amethyst.
Congrats on the title and promotion Almondo.
And last but not least, good luck with your season LLR
This is looking like a season of struggle, perhaps followed by a return to the league below. Hopefully I can pick up some form (and points) soon.
What a game, i was actually on my feet when the last goal went in (don't do that very often) and it also put me top of the league. Played the game with just 1 striker for 86 minutes and with a left midfielder at left back.
Going to be struggling with injuries in the next game though, luckily i have these 2 left sided players joining in January, might even have to give Ustun Dinc(youth striker) a game or two.
Edit: Just had this happen, on the same day of my first fan day

going to start this now was just wonderin do i load all the nations that you can go or just one
cheers mate
does anyone know what date so i have to hoilday to for scotland
Amethyst21 - Nice work getting up to and most importantly staying in the top flight so soon into the challenge. Seems like your team has a good foundation to build on to start making an impression in the Primeira Liga. Nice to get that result against Benfica as well, to keep your spirits up !
Almondo - Excellent job going straight up to La Liga ! Finances are always the tough part of the game but in the top league you should at least start getting more cash from gate receipts.
LLR - Good luck this season, looks like you're building a good hard-core fan base
I've reached January and am up to second in the league but it's very close and one bad result can see us slip 4 or 5 places. My chairman is listening to offers for the club as well so I'm praying for a billionaire takover from the middle east !
when can i take over the bottom club last game of the season or when
So after reading you guys starts and getting more and more impatiant for my game to turn up ... It's finally here!!!
In the process of installing now but i have to go to work in a couple of hours so i'll just about get time to get my team picked before starting properly later ..... Last year i made it to the Champions League Semis and played through to 2024 so heres hoping i can complete things this time around.
I think i will be playing in Turkey.
Dardanel SAŞ is a sports club located in Çanakkale, Turkey. The team is named after the populer tuna fish brand which is located in Çanakkale.
Çanakkale Dardanel SAŞ was founded as Çanakkalespor after merging Boğazspor, Türkgücü and Kalespor, which were amateur clubs of Çanakkale. The clubs name was changed to Çanakkale Dardanelspor in 1991. When created in 1966, the football club began playing in the 3rd league in Turkey. This league is known as the TFFF 2. League today. Ten years after its founding, they were relegated to the amateur league in Turkey. After spending five years in the amateur league, they found themselves in the TFF First League, but only for one year in 1982-83 season. They were relegated to the amateur league once more. After spending just one more year in the amateur league, they were promoted to the third league in 1984, and would find themselves being yo-yoed between the third and second league until they reached the top flight of Turkish football in 1996. In 1999, they were relegated to the second league, and to third level in 2006 . They returned second level after defeating Tarsus İdman Yurdu as 5-0 at extra-play-off final in 2008-2009 season. However they suffered from squad narrowness at First League at next season and were relegated to Second League after a 3-0 loss to Altay at home match.
They have produced a healthy amount of footballers who have gone on to play for a top flight club in Turkey. These players include Okan Koç, Tamer Tuna, Mehmet Yılmaz, Tolga Seyhan, Gökhan Zan, Mehmet Çoğum, Hasan Kabze, Erman Özgür, Mehmet Topal, Fevzi Elmas and Selçuk İnan.
So what is my new home like ...
Çanakkale (pronounced [tʃaˈnakkaˌle]) is a town and seaport in Turkey, in Çanakkale Province, on the southern (Asian) coast of the Dardanelles (or Hellespont) at their narrowest point. The population of the town is 106,116 (2010 estimate.) The mayor is Ülgür Gökhan (CHP).
Çanakkale Province, like Istanbul Province, has territory in both Europe and Asia. Ferries cross here to the northern (European) side of the strait.
The city is the nearest major town to the site of ancient Troy. The "wooden horse" from the 2004 movie Troy is exhibited on the seafront. Çanakkale is the second city to be situated on two continents after Istanbul. However Çanakkale is closer to mid-division than Istanbul. There is a Jewish community.
Club Facilities;
Training: Average.
Youth: Adequate.
Junior Coaching: Adequate.
Youth Recruitment: Well Established.
Season Expectations;
Survive relegation,
Wage Budget: £10.75k
Transfer: £21.57k
Current wage spending: £2,891.
So i have alot to play with there.
I cant seem to print screen FM for some reason to put profile up!? Sure i had this problem last year but have forgot how i got around it ...
People are starting to fight their way to top tiers, good
brettney1980, Dardanel is one of the best youth setups in the country I'd say, at least it was a few years ago. Good luck with your journey.
Charlesbeams, Gutted to see you lose out in playoffs again. That was what I tried to mean when I say tiresome experience. Hopefully with your gradual improvements every year, you'll go straight up this season.
Amethyst21, Well done for the fight in top tier mate. Kinda surprised not to see Abimael mentioned in season report though. Hopefully he'll make a good impact this season to carry you further on.
Almondo, Good job on getting promoted and staying in the lead for the last 15+ weeks. Surely that's a good sign for your next season.

What is the recommended way of getting command-line Amazon EC2 tools on Debian? So, basically the same as this question, but for EC2 instead of S3.
Ubuntu has ec2-ami-tools and ec2-api-tools, but I couldn't find equivalent packages for Debian. A blog post titled "Install EC2 AMI & API tools in Debian" talks about installing Amazon's packages outside package management, but that seems a little clumsy.

Hi there,
I'm checking out a Bazaar project to my computer (12.10 x64) and I notice there is a file, found using ls, called '???' I can neither delete nor view the contents of this file. I always get a no such file or directory error. Note; I have tried \?\?\?.
Any idea what this is? it doesnt seem to be doing anything bad, but I cant seem to find any record of it and it was just bugging me.

I am considering buying a new phone. Is there a way to easily redownload all of my apps onto the new phone without having to search for each one individually?
Yes you can. There are a number of utilities around to do backup and restore, as well as other options.
I recently moved from the HTC Magic to the Desire HD. The way I did it was to use a free AppBrain account. This has a few advantages, in my opinion:
You can check out appbrain at http://www.appbrain.com/ If you just want straight backup and restore, Titanium backup, as mentioned by others, is a good choice. ( http://www.matrixrewriter.com/android/ )
You can also find both of them in the Android Market.
If you're getting another of the same phone running the same firmware then you should be able to use Titanium Backup, pull the backup to your computer, get the new phone, install Ti Backup, replace the backup files from your computer, and then run batch restore of your apps. I have not done this before, hopefully others will have more input.
Someone should back me up on how this works, but...
Apps you have installed are synched with your Google/Gmail account, and will download upon initial sign-in to your new phone.
My Droid just recently broke, and I was close to the upgrade time, so I got a Droid 2 Global. I know, of course, my contacts and calendar are synched with my Google account, however so were my apps. The Verizon rep didn't touch my old phone, yet all my apps began downloading as soon as I signed in for the first time. Also, to my surprise, my Cyanogen background also showed up (I was running CyanogenMod 6 when my original Droid died). So, in theory, this should also work for you. Verizon uses a proprietary tool called BackupAssistant that normally takes care of synching most things on your phone, but I specifically deleted it as I don't want my info backed up to Verizon. I believe the app sync is built into your Google account.
Matt has a first-hand experience with accidentally having Google backup all his applications: Cancel All Market Updates/Downloads at Once
The only issue with Titanium Backup is that your phone needs to be rooted. If it is not rooted and you are not prepared to root the device, then a suitable alternative would be to use My Backup Pro:
Yep. Firstly, unless you have downloaded pirate apps (by which I mean you have downloaded each and every app through the Play Store), the downloaded apps will be in your 'purchase history' for the Google account (doesn't matter whether you have actually spent money on the app or got it for free). When you undergo initial setup on a new Android device and after entering your email address, you are normally given a choice to download all your previous 'purchased apps'. However, just to be on the safe side, you should make a backup of all your existing apps through a backup utility (dozens of them on the Play Store). This has the additional advantage that (depending on the utility) you may also get all your old app data too. If you use the first method (the one with the initial setup and email address), there is a probability (depending on your sync settings and the apps' readiness to backup to Google) that your old app data will not be available to you.

How is it possible you make a Sukkah with the same conditions and outside Israel it is not Kosher and inside Israel it is?

If you build a Sukkah in a public area - In Israel, this is allowed since permission is automatically granted to use the street for this purpose. However in Chutz Laretz this would make the Sukkah Posul unless permission was granted to have it built on that area.
Gershon Your first answer is right even though L'halacha in Chutz Laretz according to most it would be good to since you cant steal land.
Another answer is one of the Conditions Yeshouah made when going into Eretz Yisroel was that people could use each others Branches from his friends field granted it was only small branches Called היזמי והיגי so using those in Eretz Yisroel the using of these branches is kosher in Chutz Laaretz you cant take from your Friends Field hence Sukkah is no good.
There is another Takanah made for the people being Oleh Regel that they be able to drink water from the puplic wells Posts where placed around it and they serve as an Eruv of sorts this Heter only works in Israel hence since it is a wall for Shabbos it is Halachicly also a wall for Sukkah In Eretz Yisreol but in Chutz Laaretz where it is not Muttar to Carr it would not Make a good Sukkah idf Schach Where placed on top.

Shale paying big dividends in Belmont County
• Daily revenue may hit $100K

BARNESVILLE - The positives keep coming for Gulfport Energy's Utica Shale operations, as the Stutzman well in southwestern Belmont County could be producing about $100,000 worth of revenue per da....
As a western pennsylvanian I know that drilling is something that can really drive up the economy in low-income areas. Many towns around me which have not been busy since the steel days are becoming busier every day. Because the industry is such a hotbed for controversy, I try and read about it when I can. I stumbled across an article the other day that highlights some of the Ohio organizations which are pushing for more drilling.

This video has gone viral in the last few days and I came across this just yesterday.
I was blown away when I first watched it and since then I have watched it several times and continue to be amazed and excited about the possibilities.
There have been many discussions and negative opinions about this technology (as it happens with every new concept), mainly revolving around points like invasion of privacy or technology overload or too much distraction and so on.
so here is my take on this.
First of all, as it is evident from my reaction, I love it. I love technology and the ways it integrates with our every day life.
Secondly, Internet is becoming ubiquitous with every passing day and if there is a product or technology to make sense of the plethora of information available on the internet or somehow process the information and presents to us what is relevant, then I am all for it.
Project Glass by Google seems to be aimed at doing exactly that. What you see in the video can already by done using existing Google products available on your mobile device. This is just a new interface to those products are services with some added intelligence and data processing magic. With this technology you no longer have to reach out for your phone and access the information or perform any action. It's all just right there in front of your eyes. So basically this is an evolution of technology from handheld devices to wearable hands-free devices. It's nothing revolutionary.
And finally, there can be countless uses for this around collaboration, remote assistance, and gaming. The possibilities, as they say, are limitless.
So I can't wait for this to be available to general public and see how it is adapted. Count me in to be the first one to use it.
And to answer the naysayers, anyone who opts to use this technology will do it willingly so if you are that worried about privacy just don't use it. Moreover, no one expects you to wear it when you need privacy so you can just remove it or turn it off when you need some unobtrusive moments. It's that simple.
So are you in or are you out?

13 Movie Plots Rendered Ridiculous by Their Stars
Plot: Possibly the worst scientist in the universe shoots his son into outer space after an earthquake on his alien planet, and a few years later, Earth gets a new immigrant. He finds out he has amazing powers that include invincibility and imperviousness to gravity. He then moves to the big city to pose as a mild-mannered reporter and meets a hotshot female reporter who's smart, self-assured-and blah, blah, blah, you should really know all this.
Subsequent Development(s): Christopher Reeve fell off a horse at an equestrian show, paralyzing himself from the neck down. And Margot Kidder went batshit insane and started sleeping in strangers' yards. (To be fair, the wood pile was really comfortable.)
Why It Ruins the Movie: Because in Reeve's case, to appropriate a tagline, it makes us believe a man can't fly. Reeve's tragic accident reminds everyone that actually, no, he isn't Superman, despite how many times people at awards shows insisted he was, indeed, super-duper. In fact, one would probably guess that Reeve probably got annoyed at how often people patronized him because of his signature role, wanting to say, "Hey, I appreciate what you're trying to do here, but being brave in the face of adversity isn't the same thing as being able to lift tanks, okay?" In Kidder's case, it's simply a matter of wondering if her thought in the movie-"Can you read my mind?"-isn't just what she asks every person who passes her on the street when she isn't wearing a tinfoil helmet.
Plot: Lillo Brancato, Jr. plays Calogero "C" Anello, a sweet and impressionable, yet super-tough, young man who falls for a local black girl. His racist peers think this is unwise, and try to convince him of his error by killing him. The sweetness and innocence of C's young love, and the valuable lessons he learns about friendship with black people, helps him grow from a Bronx boy into a hairy Bronx man.
Subsequent Development: While breaking into an apartment to steal prescription drugs, Brancato and an accomplice shot and killed an off-duty New York police officer.
Why It Ruins the Movie: "C's" sweetness and innocence are watered down just a little by the fact that he's a stone-cold cop-killer. When he has to make a choice between his father and the local mob boss, or between his black girlfriend and his racist buddies, we keep waiting for him to just kill them all and take their prescription drugs, too.
Plot: Rambo takes up arms with a plucky, can-do Afghani Mujahideen insurgence force against the unstoppable Red power of the Soviet menace, solving the problem by shooting 203,449 Russian soldiers single-handedly. Take that, Russian fags! Signed, AMERICA!
Subsequent Development: On September 11, 2001, some members of the Afghani Mujahideen (currently known as the the Taliban) sort of attacked the United States in an extremely bad and unforgettable way.
Why It Ruins the Movie: Watching two hours' worth of Sly Stallone helping out a body of people who would eventually decide to fly a plane into the World Trade Center can be a little unsettling. You don't necessarily blame Rambo, whose heart's certainly in the right place here. You more just want to take him aside for a few minutes with some informative charts and newspaper clippings.

NICHE Contact: Barbara Bricoli | 212-992-9753 | firstname.lastname@example.com
NICHE (Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders) announces it has added the 500th member to its roster of hospitals that have implemented the NICHE program to improve care of older adult patients.
A reception is planned Nov. 14, 2013 from 6:00p.m. to 8:00p.m. at The Atlantic Philanthropies, 75 Varick Street, 17th Floor, New York, New York to celebrate the achievement. The event will include hors d'oeuvres, cocktails and a celebratory champagne toast. Media are invited to attend.
The NICHE hospital member designation — which starts with the NICHE Leadership Training Program (LTP) — signals a resolve to provide patient-centered care for older adults. Through participation NICHE hospitals are able to offer evidence-based, interdisciplinary approaches that promote better outcomes, positive experiences, and improved care for older adults. This leads to greater satisfaction rates for patients, their families and staff.
"This is an important milestone for NICHE and our member hospitals' efforts to meet one of the most critical challenges of our times: quality care of older adults," says Barbara Bricoli, MPA, NICHE managing director. "Through 2030, 10,000 baby boomers will turn 65 every day. Medicare spends $555 billion now; that number is projected to almost double by 2020. Reaching 500 members is a testament to everyone in our organization who has shared their passion for taking care to the next level for this rapidly growing and most vulnerable population. We are now 500 and growing stronger everyday."
NICHE (Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders) is an international program designed to help hospitals improve the care of older adults. The vision of NICHE is for all patients 65-and-over to be given sensitive and exemplary care.

QUOTE (Weiman @ Apr 3 2009, 03:53 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
yeah.. IMO right now is the perfect time to build a PC, parts are more powerful and cheaper then ever, especially graphics cards..They cost fuckall compared to what they did tbh. $700 can get you a great gaming PC.
ya i want to put a tower together from scratch for like 1100 with specs like
3.2ghz quad procc
120gb+ SSD (wont need much just want fast load speeds use external for larger files)
motherboard that supports the following
-a later upgrade to octocore procc....technology moves so fast and i feel it will be needed in 2-3 years
-3.....preferably 4 graphics card slots for later upgrades as i add on to it with more $$$
-the new 24gb ddr3 ram support i see on mobo is nice (although i hear windows 7 will limit to 16gb)
-soooo basically something with alot of upgradeablility last thing i wanna do is drop another $350 on another mobo less 2 years down the road....

I want to construct a website , the first step is that I need to sketch a contents layout for every page . this job can be write done on paper,but not easy to modify and saved.
and I don't want to use photoshop to do this job ,for it is not easy to select elements and text.photoshop should be used for final design of webpage.
any good advices?

Given that meta doesn't lend itself to every question having a single correct answer, it seems wrong that you can accept a particular answer.
I may be missing the mark, but you've got three classes of question here on meta:
- Tech support issues for SO/SF ("Where's my rep"/"How can I track my rep"/etc.)
- Feature/enhancement requests ("How about this new badge"/"Can we have comment notifications in the RSS feeds"/etc.)
- Opinion questions ("should easy questions be closed"/"How to deal with unwritten rules"/etc.)
Of those, I only see the tech support issues actually having an answer worth accepting, and seems that it could be exploitable if people started accepting answers, purely because they've of the same opinion for a feature request. Similarly, starting a bounty seems exploitable.
