Finished top despite Akropolis winning their last 12 games to only finish 2 points behind us. And my best youth recruitment for the new season was a half Swedish, half Iraqi striker named Jassim Swadi Abdul-Hussein. His PA is 3.5 stars which is about the same as my two strikers at the moment. Finances are getting better after a good sponsorship deal worth 386k to take the balance up to 412k. I'll try arranging a huge amount of away friendlies though to get my balance up more before the start of the season.
 
Got bored of United, and started a new save with Real Madrid with LFC Marshall's summer update. Signed Delac on loan, Hummels, Maxi Rodriguez on loan. Then came Super Cup matches. Thrashed Barcelona 5-1 at home. Later won 2-0 at Camp Nou.

Again the first Liga BBVA match was versus Barcelona.:p

Played nice mind-games with Guardiola and won 2-1. The victory was such a devastating morale blow that Guardiola himself admited they were nearly out of the title race.

Oh, m vaughan would be pleased to hear this.:p
 
Well a promising start to this season. Won our preliminary round Swedish Cup match easily 2-0 before going down to one of the other teams in our division this season 1-0 in a close encounter. Our first match was away to Vasuland who were predicted 4th and I was happy to go into the break still level at 0-0. I brought on my central midfielder who had started on the bench and he scored 2 minutes within coming on and we managed to hold on for a great 1-0 win. We then managed a 1-0 win over Arameiska-Syrianska at home thanks to a Adrian Cirak goal, the assist for Abdul-Hussein after Fritzell found himself out for the first month of the season, pretty much, another 3 weeks and already missed the first 3 games. We then played Hammerby TFF away from home and lost our skipper early on after he was sent off but even with 10 men, we managed to secure a draw after they scored in the 82nd minute but substitute striker, Rogic scored his second goal for the club after having played in 14 matches, 2 this season and 12 last season, although he hasn't started a single game :p But yeah a good start to the season especially without Fritzell and our two best defenders, Sulaka and Hansen, both missing our next game and probably won't be fully fit for the match after that, away to Boden.
 
Have no idea what to do now in FM. Not sure if I shall continue my Chelsea save and despite having that Liverpool save as well, it's not inspiring me to play it. :p

Thinking of playing some other games or start another new save. Hmmm...
 
I would say, download LFC Marshall's summer update and then start with any team.
 
Sandro, a true legend in American Samoan football on the right wing :p

He spent 4 years at Flamengo only making 5 appearances before making the move to Pago Pago in 2019. He played in 16 matches that season after joining in November, scoring 3 goals and making 8 assists. He continued to make an impact in the following seasons with 10 goals and 16 assists in 2020-21, breaking the assists record in 2021-22 with 20 assists to go with 8 goals. He scored 29 goals and made 52 assists over the next 5 seasons before pulling off an outstanding season in 2027-28 with an average rating of 7.84 (beating his previous best of 7.67 in his second season) as he scored 12 goals and made 14 assists with 5 MOTM awards. He played in only 20 matches the next season and didn't make a huge impact but added another 19 assists in the following season with 5 goals as he played in 26 matches, pretty good for a 32 year old. He continued to be our first choice right midfield as he played in another 75 odd matches over the next 3 seasons with 18 goals and 22 assists before finally getting a bit too old at 35 and only played in 7 games during the 2033-34 season. His final season at the club was this season where he only played in 9 appearances but he started in the final where he converted a penalty to score his first goal in 2 seasons and set up a goal to have a memorable finale. Unfortunately he is not worth signing as a coach and my board won't let me have anymore coaches even though they say I can so I can't just add him anyway. I could sign him as the worst scout in the world though :p

As an overview, 362 league games, the most in Pago Pago history, 90 goals and 162 assists, also a record by a long way. 51 MoM performances as well. And 23 caps for American Samoa as well with 3 goals after taking up citizenship, making his debut in 2025 after being born in Brazil. The only player to really get close to that amount of games for our club was Horacio Quintana who played in 309 league games although he was far less influential (despite being the skipper for most of his career) with only 43 goals and 67 assists.

The following screenshot does not have his final 2 seasons stats, which were 2033-34 - 7 apps, 0 goals, 2 assists, 0 MoM, AR 6.83 and his 2034-35 stats are shown at the bottom since that's what was selected.

And this was his final game for the club. A brilliant hattrick for Diguinho as well as he caps off an unbelievable season.

Well these are Diguinho's attributes and stats for the current season. The 29 goals is a new division record. Tafuna Jets' Jhon Correa scored 24 goals in a season although Diguinho held the previous record of 26 goals anyway from 9 years ago, haha :p

But his is an absolutely legendary career.

Why can I not get this to work? My FM just doesn't seem to want to find the db.

Sorted it somehow, all good!
 
Played Inter in the Euro Super Cup and lost 3-1! Took the lead in the first half through Baggio and then conceded 3 goals in the second half and all of them came from set-pieces! :facepalm
 
hmm, I'm confused. Phil Jones wanted to move to a bigger club so I have a chat with him and tell him that the club will improve or whatever that is. Have a look, still concerned about wanting to move to a bigger club, in manager promises, it says the club's position will be improved. Then after my next match, I go check his profile again and he's not concerned at all and there is no manager promises? I was in 2nd before and 2nd now so I didn't really improve the position at all.
 
Maybe he failed to look at the league table.:lol
 
A Nigerian player?!

Weird name.

Getting bored of FM11. Looking forward to the future, that is FM12.
 
OH GAWD! It's Bayern Munich AGAIN in the Champions League!!! :facepalm:facepalm:facepalm

And oh, Christian Poulsen is now managing Liverpool after sacking three managers in my save. :lol
