#240588 Started from the (real) bottom
Alveio
Two "bad" draws against weaker teams.. 4 points left behind because we conceed too much goals, that's a shame. But two solid wins in French Cup against 2 7th tier teams. It's the first time we reach the 4th round, really good thing, it'll bring a lot of money !
A good mid-table spot. We can finish in the Top 5 I guess, it would be a great season !
NOVEMBER :
Another really hard loss, this time against Avion, which have the 2nd spot in the league. We weren't that bad, but when my team decides not to play, it does that.. Very disappointing. On the bright side we have 2 good wins in championship, and a solid "loss" against a Ligue 2 team. 785K€ for the team with the 4th round performance, it'll help a lot to recruit some better players for the next season.
6th in the league, that's very good ! But the top 2 spots seem out of range for us. Maybe a good run with 5 or 6 wins in a row could help us being closer from these spots. On the bright side, we're just 3 points away from the 3rd place !
Next update : December and January.

AUGUST :
A so-so month. Brilliant opening, we were outstanding. A solid draw against Valenciennes, but a really hard loss in Alençon. And the most surprising thing is that we were quite "lucky" by conceding "only" 7 goals. We didn't exist at all in this game. I don't know how we came at half-time with a 3-3 draw, but we paid that in the second half
The statistics are impressive.. 35 shots !!!
Not a good start, but not a bad start either. We face 2 of the 3 highest ranked teams, so I'm hopeful for the future.
SEPTEMBER :
An outstanding performance in Rodez for the French Cup. They're in CFA and we were impressive. Great defence, and we scored when we had good sequences. Loved this.
A disappointing draw against Feignies, we could have win this, but they have great players. But the end of the month was stellar. A really easy win against Saint-Quentin, it wasn't a match this time.
Finally, a superb game against Amiens, even if it's a close win. My attack is spectacular for the moment !
10 more shots, a great possession, we scored on almost every chances we had ! We took an early 2-0 lead, and then we were up 3-0 at half-time, and they only had 3 shots. Very easy game, I was surprised by that !
We're have such a great beginning of the season.. I hope it will continue !!!
For the 2nd round of the cup, we'll face a 7th tier team !
Another positive note : My attendance is now around 300 fans ! And with the ticket price rising up, we'll have great finances in the end !
Next update : October and November

I didn't take the risk of having a high objective. I always take the "easiest" one. For the cup, I have to reach the third round, like the season before.
I lost some players. Mazzuchetti et Boussam stopped football, and 3 of my guys left for another team
Tefouet is a bad loss, but at 4K a month, I couldn't afford him.
Especially because I bought Richi to replace him.
I lost quantity, but I think I gain quality so that's quite good.
Here are the odds for the season
Ranked 12th, I think we'll finish higher than that. I hope that. And, FYI, the 1st gets promoted, and the 2nd plays in play-off to gain promotion.
A real good pre-season, no loss, I like this idea, I love these players !
So here we are for the 3rd season in this long journey ! Hope you still enjoy it
Next update : August and September

@Jonas : I got it on Fmupdates.net
One loss, 2 wins, pretty nice end !
Nice lead to finish the season, I like it !
And, here are some stats :
My guys were pretty dominant this year. Helped us a lot to do that great season !

A stellar performance by my team. They were never dangerous. Big big win for the title.
Another easy win to finish the month. 9 goals in 2 matches, very very good month.
And with these wins, we're champions ! Breteuil lost another time. They were the only ones who could stop us from being champions, and they didn't. 3 games left to play, and we're already promoted. Very impressive season. The players were stunning.
Here are the standings now :
Quite an easy season when we look at this, but it wasn't at all. Another promotion is really great. Let's focus on the next season now !

I had some time to play today, and I can update to where I said, so let's go !
A solid month. I just dropped a win against Chantilly, so that's good. A lot of goals against Senlis, I didn't expect that. 7 points out of 3 games, it's very good.
Another good and solid month ! Starting with a frustrating draw against Choisi ! We dominated them, but it was impossible to score. We had 17 shots but only 2 on target, so impossible to win with that. Too bad.
But, we had two great games just after that. With 4 different goal scorers, that's really good for the future.
And here we go for the standings..
Breteuil was simply AWFUL during these 2 months and we have a very solid lead. And, schedule magic, our next game is at Breteuil. A win, and we're almost champions !
As a bonus, the young players have come in the team, here's the result :
Very good draw ! M'Baye is already a solid goalie, and he'll be my starter from now on ! Leclercq will be a solid backup in the midfield too !

A so-so month. A really bad game against Amiens. We were simply outplayed, a logical loss.
A better game (but not that much) against Abbeville. We won because they were really weak, but not a good performance at all. We got the 3 points though.
A good month. Another loss, but 2 good wins. We allow too much goals, so we have to score a lot to win games.
Nothing to say against Chambly. They were better, that's it.
The Beauvais, I thought I'll just hang myself. We're dominating, we open the scoring, we have a lot of scoring chances, but we don't score. They tied up the game just before half-time, and took the lead right after, while we were still dominating. I'm lucky that Berton stepped up and scored a hat-trick to give us a win.
A pretty solid game against Saint-Ouen. Just had some "fear" when they tied up the game at 78th minute, but we responded 3 minutes later. Their second goal came from a penalty 30 seconds before the end of the game, so no worries about this one.
We finish the year at the 2nd spot, just one point behind Breteuil. Best attack of the league (tied with Saint-Ouen), that's pretty good. 11 games left to get the title AND the promotion. Let's do it !
Next update : January and February (I'll probably post it on monday or tuesday)

Chantilly, a rival team, 3rd in the last update, asked me.
A really big surprise when I saw Strasbourg, in National, asking to meet me !
And finally, Trelissac requested a meeting. What did they think ? They take me out of the cup, and then they can sign me ? Come on !
So I was a bit shocked by all of this, but don't worry, I'll stick with my team !

Real good month ! I've beaten the favourite (which turned to be a real disappointment in the standings). A hard cup game against Quetigny : An injury after 12 minutes, a player sent off after 85 minutes, an injury after 3 minutes in extra time when I couldn't do any replacement, and we won that game after penalty shots playing all extra time at 9 against 11.
Against Chantilly, we took an early 3-0 lead, and we just stopped playing in the second half. We've won, but it was close.
The Choisi-au-Bac game was just a bad play by my team. We didn't exist, and we can feel lucky to lose only 2-0. But a good reminder that it won't be an easy season.
Then we had an ugly game against Ailly sur Somme. I made a lot of changes in my starting squad, because of the French cup game coming 3 days after that, and we were able to win this, so 3 solid points once again.
Only 4 games in this month, with 2 cup games. Let's take a look in details :
Against Saint-Grégoire, I almost relived that Chantilly game. We were up by 3 goals at half-time (4-1), and we slightly give them the game. Fortunately, they started their comeback a bit too late, and we reach the 3rd round.
Chauny was a solid game with a bad start. They quickly opened the scoring, and it woke my guys up. A pretty good win against the last team in the standings.
And here comes THE game of the early season. Hosting Breteuil, the leader (with the same amount of points than us, but with a game in hand for them). They opened the scoring, my goalie stopped a penalty, I yelled at my boys at half-time and, here we go ! A really solid win.
For the 3rd round of the cup, I didn't have much expectations. Trélissac is in CFA (4th tier), 2 leagues upon us, we're playing in their stadium, not that much possibility to win. At least we scored a goal, that's something positive !
We are first !!! I didn't expect that at all. I bet my signings were good ! An excellent start of the season, let's hope it will last !
Next update : November and December.

Yep, it's good ! My third game is against the huge favourite of the season, If I don't lose, I think we can have a really good season ahead !
Yeah, I was shocked too ! Maybe he'll push till' he's 50 to have some records

Thanks Dan, yeah, late but done, that's what matters in the end !
Thanks Johno
I'm not a favourite at all. So avoiding the relegation is a good goal for this season I guess.
So I tried to sign some players during summer to improve my team. 3 good players came in (one after I took the screen), 2 quite bad left.
Mazzuchetti and Berton are really old, but they can bring a lot to my team, I hope they will !
And now, the ESC Longueau looks like this :
Some crap players from the beginning, surrounded by good signings and good young players. I like this idea..
A few pre-season games, to see how my team can perform..
No loss ? That's a pretty good sign. Even if I don't really care about it, the morale went up, and the results can follow for the games that matter !
And nooooooowwwwwww, let's get ready to rumbleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee in this league !!!!! Only 13 teams and 24 games (boring..)
Good start of the season. 4 points in 2 games, that's positive ! Bad point is that I only had 87 fans for the home game..
The French Cup 1st round draw took place too, I'll host a 6th tier team. I HAVE to win this game !

A takeover.. For a 7th tier team.. Well, why not ? It doesn't add something for me (except a steam achievement), but here it is. Now, let's take a look at something that's really interesting : The games !
Just one loss, so good 2nd half of the season. I didn't put the Compiegne game, and you'll know why when I post the standings
As you see, it's a final I'll play against them. And it's pretty simple : We win, we're champions and promoted. We don't, we stay here one season more. We have the "advantage" of playing this HUGE game in front of our 90 fans. Maybe this will help..
It didn't, even if we win (and therefore we're CHAMPIONS). We've been dominated pretty badly, especially in the second half. I was quite nervous after the 83rd minute goal, but we were strong after that. Great achievement for this season.
So here we are, thanks to the goal difference. We've never been 1st all season long, but we are at the best time of the season !
And let's finish this post with another team news :
We're half pro. With all his pros and cons. We'll have to have a great run in French cup next year for the finances..
By the way, I've signed a lot of players (young players from my academy and veteran players without contracts) in the second part, but I won't show them, they are too many people. Just that from a "half grey star" team, I'm with a real good team, with a 3 or 4 stars players, so that's good. I know Stars don't mean everything, but with this kind of improvement, it's kinda huge.
Next update : First 6th tier games, French cup (and maybe a few signings, I'll have to make some)

So, here we go for the first results of the magnificent ESC Longueau !
As you see, it's a flat 4-4-2, in order to have a solid defence, which is the key is lower leagues, and to have opportunities to score against everybody. Let's see if it works..
It kinda does, indeed ! The only disappointment is that draw against Compiegne. Leading 3-1 at the 55th minute, and we blew this, a real shame. You'll see why a bit later.
Now the French cup
First round and....... Goodbye, see you next year, man ! Quite a disappointment, because I planned on getting through the first round, but I drew a team which, IRL, should have been in French Ligue 2, so they have a lot of great players. Too bad, but I won't be able to do worse next year, at least.
Let's take a look at the standings
Second place. That's good, even if only one team gets promoted.
Maybe you'll be thinking "Wait, wait, wait, what about the signings ? He didn't start the season without signing players ?". But I did. But no other team did neither. Except from the two "B" teams, getting players from the A squad.
I just signed 3 players, because they had great performances with the team
Malvy-Fleury, Left Midfielder
Champion, Striker
And Boyer, also a Striker
So here we are, half-season, and still having the possibility of getting promoted, I hope I'll do it !
Thanks everybody for reading, hope you're enjoying this !
