My Spanish key players are quite old - Roberto Torres (32), Bruno (31) and David Timor (31) were first team players when I first took over, and are still key first team players, but I can't build a team around them. They are also limited in the sense that they are Mid-Table standard, I would say.

Nope, 2018. Filled it out exactly the same way as usual. Is there a limit to the amount of competitions you can have a season or something?

Also. at the smaller clubs, do you ever get over attached to them, and want to see you youngsters progress?

#261105 FM 14 Contract Problem
Cheik It Out
My problem lies with the fact that none of my players, either young or old, will sign contracts more than 2-3 years in advance, and won't change this despite salary increases and clauses.
Is this solely due to my reputation, as I am sure it is?

We have a bunch of talented players, but we lack the quality to win any large tournament. I'll see how far I can go!
So yeah, next update will be at the end of the season, I hope. See ya then.

Also, I'm fairly glad de Graafschap stayed up, and funnily enough, last years rivals, Volendam, who were mid-table all season got relegated!

I needed to strengthen two areas filled by loanees last season. I replaced Matt Targett with Jason Davidson, and Ioannis Gelios with Sean McDermott.

League Comparison
Tactics
Coaches
Getting a good set of coaches is important. it is vital for an Assistant Manager (AssMan) to be skilled tactically and have good ratings for Man Management and Motivation. I am going to leave my AssMan alone for now, as he is an integral part of the team, despite his low stats.
Here is my AssMan. He is spectacularly average in all his Coaching attributes, and I see no need to remove him for now.
I am though going to attempt to remove my coach, who has awful Coaching attributes, with no simple attribute surpassing 10. My GK Coach and Physio team are going to stay intact, but I will tweak the personnel in my scouting team. I wish real life was like this, and humans were given attributes regarding their ability!
Players
It is hard to summarise each individual position, but I'll have a try. My GK department is fairly weak, with 3 distinctly average goalkeepers.
My defense, like I said, look solid. I don't think I'll need to transfer any players out or in until January when I gauge the ability levels and consistency levels of some of them. They starting players look like lower Eredivisie standard players, and all of them are sub-30 years old.
My midfield is also really solid. It looks like I have 2 or 3 skillful wingers, anchored by many decent central midfielders. Obviously, it will be an area that will be scouted as I have one on-loan winger and 2 starting CMs that are the wrong side of 30.
The striking department is probably my weakest. According to my squad depth, it consists of Santy Hulst (10 finishing), Brahim Darri (a loanee) and Nathan Kabasele (another loanee and is quite young). I only have one lone striker in my formation, but I will hopefully purchase one with a finishing stat that could promote and sustain this side in the Eredivisie.
I hope this is informative enough for the viewers. Originally my plan was to skip all this and get playing, but occasionally I enjoy the written side to these stories! Next time will hopefully be at the end of the season, unless I get fired or something like that!

Like last time, I will be ticking off trophies and countries, but as you know in FM 14, it is sometimes hard to leave a team and club you love for some small budget Korean club for example, so I may be playing more for my enjoyment and less for trophies on occasion!

Baerum - Norwegian 2nd Division 1 - Had a 3 year flirt with the 2nd division between 2036 and 2048
Ranheim - Norwegian Tippeligaen - Been slowly declining down the division, got relegated last year, promoted straight back up
Stromsgodset - Norwegian Tippeligean - Slowly falling, into mid-table averageness
Blackburn - nPower Championship - Falling very quickly - relegated this season for the first time to League 1
Arameiska-Syrianska - Swedish Division 2 Sotra-Svealand - still in the same division - Got promoted once in 2044
Vasalunds IF - Allsvenskan - Promoted last season, made decent start this season - 3 divisions above where they were when I took over
Elfsborg IF - Allsvenskan - flirted with the European places in the top division. Not quite made it yet
TSV Hartberg - League below the Austrian Erste Liga (bottom playable) - not been seen since 2036
FC Lustenau - Austrian Premier Division - Fluctuating much so - 1st (for the first time since my management) in 2046, 9th in 2048 - European coefficients improving and a better quality of player is being attracted.
Hamilton - You can see where they are at in my previous post
#289160 Me Vs The World
Cheik It Out
I have decided, 10 games into the new season, that I want change. At Hamilton, I was enjoying it, but the league was just too inconsistent, and my team was so good some games, and so shite the next, I decided to leave. This was added to the problem of wages and not challenging in Europe at all.
Transfer wise, we sold Phil Williams to Rangers for 1 mil, my board accepted a 3.3 mil bid for Savvas Papadimitriou, my RB. I was a bit unhappy about that. Ex-Number 1 GK, Sanchez, and Paterson leave for decent fees.
Incoming: I increased my Croatian contingent, by signing Marin Tomac as a back up striker, Brane Music as my LB and Sandro Amic as a versatile, 16 year old wonderkid. He left on loan immediately. The Croatian contingent stands at 9 (Loncar, Fustar, Tenjeri, Soldo, Amic, Tomac, Music, Vukovic and Grgic). We signed Landing Mendy and Carl Owen on a free from relegated Inverness, decent midfielders, our weakest position. Our best player, and my biggest regret when I left, is Wayne Pulido, who joined on a pre-contract in January. USA national CM, and a brilliant player. Mark Borkovic, Christos Kontos and Alain Carson came in as backup.
Thought I would show off Wayne Pulido. What a player. Shame I didn't get to manage him.
This season, we had qualified for Europe. I got into the group stages once again, beating Banants, Mlada Boleslav and M Tel Aviv. We were 5th when I left, but we weren't challenging in Europe, in a group stage which includes Groningen again, Trabzonspor and Stuttgart. We weren't challenging in the league, so I gave up. I wanted a change in scenery. I have won 2 trophies here, and I don't feel the need to stay here.
I didn't manage to screenshot the table when I left, but at the moment, here the table is for Hamilton. And also the foiled European journey. I left after 2 games.
I decided to search for clubs, and for the best club for me. That means, no high English leagues, no Norwegian leagues as I have completed that. I ended up at:
The club I have chosen is Degerfors IF. Known for having high attendances and being very well supported for a town with 12000 people. Are in decent financial shape, despite losses in the last few years. Have fluctuated through the leagues, but were on the cusp of promotion last season, in 5th place, with a poor squad.
I know, I know, I have completed this league with Elfsborg. I haven't completed the Allsvenskan or the Cups though, and this setup at the club is good. Brilliant finances for a Superettan club and good youth. I reckon I could take these into Europe.The table 6 games in, is promising.
I have invested in a new squad, aiming for promotion in my first year. My team report follows. My players have been downgraded by my assistant after signing two players probably better than the league - Baba Antwi and David Manu. Both got offered to me from agents. I have bought very well. We have also promoted a very good striker to the first team setup - Zebastian Ingvarsson.
I am back to using the 4-5-1 system, which I used to win the Scottish First Division, and tried to get my players to adapt to at QPR. It is also the formation I used with South Africa, which I won 2 African Cup of Nations with. I have another back-up tactic. This one I created, and works well when we need a better presence up front.
Tactic 1:
Tactic 2:
I hope to get promotion and possibly win a cup, knocking a target off the list, and qualifying for Europe
Extra Info:
Hamilton won the Scottish League Cup, and may qualify for Europe for the 3rd time in a row.
Vasalunds, back with my old manager, before it got corrupted, and on the old site, won this division last year, and are playing in the Allsvenskan, 3 leagues higher than when I started with them.
South Africa have won the 2 last African Cup of Nations, without me, stretching their winning streak to 4 tournaments. I for that screenshot, I used a cool feature, to show the ones South Africa won, and the Nigeria success I had aswell.
I am using the Real Competition Names add on to the game now.
I have loaded the English, French, Turkish, Italian, Scottish, Swedish, Greek, Russian, Austrian and Norwegian. I am keeping the last two to see how league dynamics work during the game. Red Bull Salzburg are now the 22nd richest club in the world, with Sturm Graz, and some other clubs getting richer. There is a lot of money and quality players in the Austrian league, and it is just behind Russia, Greece in terms of coefficients - not too far off Holland even!
