@sanka yeah that is just the team who started against Dundee

I've been experimenting with a new formation and it's going pretty well.

Well this is interesting...

Our fantastic start to the season continued. With just two blips, we missed two penalties against Man City away and crashed out of the League Cup to on-form Hibs. Our league results have been outstanding conceding just 2 in 12 so far.

Thanks @Manno. Yeah the goal is to reach the latter stages of the UCL or win the Europa League essentially with a core of Scottish players.

Last seasons transfer review... Valeriy Boldenkov - came in and done a job for the first 6 months making 5 appearances at CB while we had injury issues. He's now on his 2nd loan spell and probably doesn't have much of a future at the club. Vacla...

I have quite ambitious plans for next season. Two or three more first team players will leave reducing the wage budget considerably. There will be a few make or brake loan deals for players not quite on the edge of the first team. This season will focus...

Early departures saving around £55k p/w in wages.

What a season it was for Moussa Dembele...

So it turns out the signing of Kasper Dolberg could have been a huge mistake. He's now playing for the reserves in hope that he can get a bit of form back and at least score for the first team by the end of the season. There will have to be some co...

After Nir Biton leaves and Eboue Kouassi goes on loan Stuart Armstrong decides to do his knee ligaments. For that reason I brought in long standing target John McGinn form Hibs. He has had a great season so far with Hibs, they're cruising in the...

Made two singings so far but been busy trying to ship players out and trim the squad. Kundai Benyu signed in real life and looks like he cold turn into a decent player, certainly worth a punt. Miguel Silva is the long term goalkeeping target we have been...

DEMMMMBELEEEE! Hadn't really had the chance to play much recently so just a quick update of the last month. We done pretty good at home if you consider I rested a few of the starting XI for the Motherwell game. It almost payed off as we went 2-0...

Of the 6 players mentioned above that will need replaced in the coming years I have found long term replacements for 3 of them. Valeriy Boldenkov will be a long term replacement for Kolo Toure and is being tutored by him. I have promoted Tony Ralston from...

Our league form has been near perfect - only losing a 2 goal lead over Aberdeen tarnishing the record. Not been great in the UCL so far with a howler in Germany and conceding a 91st minute goal agains Real Madrid to finish the night on zero pints....

We finally seemed to have found some form. Champions League Qualification was a success and we are 3 for 3 domestically. I must say though I am looking forward to brown returning from injury next month as we are missing him in midfield. My defence injur...

Not the prettiest progress to the Champions League Play Off - we will need to make massive improvements to reach the group stages. We had a very nervy end to the Rosenborg game with a header from Kolo Toure being chopped off. We are currently looking to...

So looking at the squad we have 6 players that will have to be replaced in the next few seasons. Some of them will come from within the squad and some will have to be brought in over the years. Goalkeeper is a position that will definitely have to be br...

Cheers @tongey! _________________ We picked up 4 wins in 4 over in Ireland - a great start to the pre-season. Hopefully the form can carry over to the fixtures in Eastern Europe and have the squad on a high heading into the Champions League Qualifiers....

Thanks @Suffolk Seasider hopefully it turns out well! _________________ To kick things of I arranged a tour of Ireland to get the lads fitness up to scratch and then off on a trip around Easter Europe to get some practice for the Champions League Qual...

The Last Hurrah... One last push at a long term save on FM now that I have some free time on my hands. Usual set up as Celtic, only my 2nd this year I believe so a new record for lease Celtic saves in a year. First things first is to sort out the ba...

Celtic | A Squad Building Exercise | Gameplan Tactical Philosophy My tactical philosophy is based around pressing the opponent to dominate the match. Players must be able to pass the ball and work as a unit as we build from the back. I take each game as...

Celtic | A Squad Building Exercise | Prelude I have decided to re-write this. With the focus shifting back to squad development and tactical pragmatism. I will start with a summary of my first season and build up to where we are not with bi-annual season...

Could one of the Mods please lock this. I'm not happy with the slipping standard of writing towards the end of the season and pre-season. It will continue in a fresh thread as it has strayed from the topics and styles I originally wanted to discuss...

Phase 3 of my scouting network was set up early pre-season. Leigertwood will cover the Caribbean region looking for talented youngsters, Ayala will be looking ofr the best young players in South America and Da Silva North America. A host of players hav...

Great start and great kits this year!

Celtic | A Squad Building Exercise | Part XX A lot has happened since the season came to a close. The board upgraded both club training and youth facilities. The training facilities are currently classed as 'excellent' and the youth facilities...

Thanks @Dan I'm really eager to get into it.

Touching distance Dan, hope you do it this year!

Celtic | A Squad Building Exercise | Part XIX End of Season Review Scottish Premiership We were outstanding, we racked up an incredible 96 points. We won all but 7 matches and the majority of them were what I call a tactical loss. By that I mean before o...

Celtic | A Squad Building Exercise | Part XIIX On the run up to the final I kept an eye on the Man Utd line up. I figured they would line up in a 4411 formation so to counteract it I was initially going to two with a 4141. The. I thought about it, there...
