Does anyone pay any attention to the game star speed rating? During my game it always fluctuates, sometimes will be 5 star then 4 then 4.5 and so on. I don't think I see any affect during gameplay but it does annoy me slightly. Opinions please guys.

Perlis 2019 pre season update
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/29/Perlis_FA.png


So here I go again, resuming this save from the 2019 season. Before reloading due to corrupt save (remember to always ALWAYS use rolling saves!!) I had signed the following players
Swirad will be a first choice CB
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/QRRgt9sHcIOMPVwVlScFyClwrnHHuwy8aJmhPjrS.png

Veenod has back up written all over him
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/VyVj5XKy8K0boGFAjWNB7RWzpQWvAGqJMUPjWNeo.png

Razali another back up player
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/XH8vNP8zYBImh0y9qbqMrsuiTzKzMWdgvK1he9yY.png

Season preview has us at 10th despite winning 2 cups last year
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/9yx4v2CghSl6vT9pZuukQgEhxEx7WjPKVwqaHzFx.png


Young players for me that I think are going to impress:

Saidin, I know he will perform well as he did so before my save got corrupted, he kicked up a fuss about wanting to leave but I am expecting that:-
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/YMlumE3exA4izD4ZJOrt0d8pTERfzUMDwdqN0Ipy.png


Mr versatile Abdullah. Stats don't scream a good player but as I play wing backs and when I change formation I have defensive wingers, he comes in very handy. A good solid backup / rotation option for this league
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/AG3cEXbu1DwzBOxsJGT8CtrFnrOGV6KnEnBpROj9.png


Another player that performed exceptionally for me before the corruption, Kamal banged in a fair few goals for me so I am expecting the same this time around
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Ej96RmzMtCactrPVFCJ38IZgj8T6cvPGZGpJv3i5.png


Finally my main key center midfielder Ibrahim was probably my most consistent performer last time so again, I'm expecting him to deliver this time around
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/G99P4Y9rC0alvU3zh4JYN8p0JSezGyyYyllsSPcu.png


I signed a good player from India previously so will be going for him again. Hopefully I can replicate what I did before having to reload and win the Confederations cup, if I do ace if not no worries. I'll try get another update up tonight, if not it will be next week as I am going on holiday for a week tomorrow. Thanks for reading!!

So I have some bad news. Firstly for those people reading this I am grateful for that, but unfortunately I am going to have to go back to a previous save point as my save got corrupted The last save I have is from the end of the 2018 season so no Confederations Cup victory and the whole of the 2019 season to play through again!

Oh well it is what it is, I will delete all the posts from the 2019 season and start again....

Perlis 2018 end of season review
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/29/Perlis_FA.png


So come the end of the season and we stayed up, quite comfortably really and went on a good run towards the end of the season and finished in 4th.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/4V4ZZtBvYoEH1B3HifJDg9fZe8IfV8asL18XrugM.png

Season summary:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/sOXI3RRM3YDEZwRhLFYFgi8BEvPERSDRHoKWvKdL.png

Key players for us, their stats aren't anything to write home about but in this league they've been my main guys:

Rosid
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/FqOdvWTeFFV53vBw2s8PIyo0hl9cLGFkUDeszoHG.png


Abbas is a player I had at Houngang and signed on a free transfer at the start of last season. Again his stats are not that good but he's bossed this league at left nidfield
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/tfWFrQzEb5FLOJGIly1ih0mOD3yzVmFD659rz3lA.png


Yaha is my main striker although not sure how many seasons he's got left in him though
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/jUIl8DJVo8R8vLyggfNOedm4e1dtBnm5uRSjgfbZ.png


Our main hot prospect. Loads of pace and needs to work on other areas of his game but he's been used as an option from the bench
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/OCzOBh1sw0IvFitRZAQYtD8hgjAmlcidDLrnmPjx.png


Finally my own profile going into my third season at Perlis.
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/soAalDX6HZxsN3pvscPkeaeBqTqAyzpvRcj7MkN8.png


Season preview says we're expected to finish third bottom which is an imporvement on finsihing bottom like last years preview.
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/3Z9qQw3kyE8eDjpzguXvX02g1w3vQpAFPRjRc6O8.png

Aims for this season are to try and be competitive in the Confederations cup as well as the domestic cups. I think we'll do alright in the league if we get a few more bodies in, a main issue I had last season was tiredness as I didn't have that big a squad to rotate. Next update will be pre season and signings

Perlis 2018 update

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/29/Perlis_FA.png


Part way through the season and for a promoted team we're doing okay, not finding much consistency overall but we have won the Malaysian cup which means we'll be playing in the Confederations Cup next season, if we stay up!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/MiAxW2zOlzM391yoFk0LWDSkTZuZPyLUFAJh446C.png


Since leaving Hougang they have been nothing short of terrible and have sacked my replacement

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/6TXj9yeAKcTralWwjJJ5VDKDa3DWDOu0tpFYUnVu.png


I was half tempted to apply for it and go back, but I think seeing as Perlis are in the Confederations cup it would be seen as a step back despited Houngang having a slightly higher rep.

Then on the same day I got the inbox message saying I'm the favourite for the Johor job. Johor are the current Super league champs and highest rep team in Malaysia so if I were to get the job I would probably leave.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/SY2JCLF7bdnyYmGFGh30laJAMJPf8OSm4EPUDpip.png https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/MYVWwpJm09FTsM81jkOIzcoHcsRiLTbRI4Jb4sB3.png https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/3QSRvUyweoAa6FOfvmxoJHDAjvlddUlqPVg4iQhI.png

After having the interview I didn't get the job, I'm not really surprised at not getting the job. Onwards and upwards with Perlis for the time being. We're doing okay in the league cup as well after over turning a first leg loss to Terengganu

Final point on this update is I now have managed 100 games in this career

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/8EtrUmrJyDCddT6OSMklsmbQlJjHMbCghVkZwGro.png

Next update will be the end of the season and will see what we managed to do in the cup and how we got in the final games of the league.

This update will only be a short 1 . I left Houngang and got the Perlis job in Malaysia second division which is called the Premier League. We won the league comfortably really and I've got a good feeling about this club and what I can win here. Also won manager of the month a few times which I hope will improve my rep.

So we finsihed the league in third position and won both cup competitions. The clubs financials are insecure and the board offered me no transfer budget and a small wage budget so I felt it was time to leave. Season review and award winners:

I'd be keen to do a similar save with Newcastle, as I can imagine their wage budget is probably all over the place with some on Championship wages, and some on top whack. Good luck with your save, I will follow it!!


I never do a save with Newcastle, I support them and don't get the kind of connection I do with teams I've got no affiliation with as weird as that sounds, give me a worldwide journeyman save any day!

I'll get a proper post up over the weekend for my Soviet Story mate, first time doing it on this forum. Thanks for following

Hey man great work getting the USA & Australia lower leagues, quick question does the USA one conflict with the MLS as ion does it affect the draft? Same sorta question with Australia does it conflict with the A loge as I wanna do a long term save with both those files in. Thanks again for the good work!!
