Moderators Johno Posted November 15, 2023 Moderators Share Posted November 15, 2023 I have decided to start FM24 with FC Utrecht, in Holland. I feel they are a decent middle team and build the club up Finances isn't great to start with, 4M in the bank and around 2M to spend. Wage budget is terrible, was way over budget before having to sell key players and deadwood to reduce the budget.  Transfers Feels happy with the signings I have made. Yes, I have signed 38 years old Papiss Cissé, purely for back up/impact sub 3 goals in 3 apps so far, even tho he is complaining he wants to be a first team starter! OUT Toornstra was top earner and was 34! had to hire an intermediary to sell him! Avest, handed transfer request cos I didn't improve the forward department even tho I have. Silly bugger. Eredivisie League so far, I am very surprised how well we have started this season, albit we are a point ahead of PSV, who we faced next Hoping to do monthly updates and will post whenever I can due to work commitment.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Johno Posted November 15, 2023 Author Moderators Share Posted November 15, 2023 Got my first youth intakes and pretty happy with it, will post top 2. Looks very promising defender, hopefully will train his mental up a bit before getting games time. Very decent already, will probably get cup games next season. This guy was in top talent category, which was surprising as his PA is decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Johno Posted November 16, 2023 Author Moderators Share Posted November 16, 2023 Â Bloody Feyenoord Overall, I think we have massively overachieved already with FC Utrecht. Summer will be interesting and will probably reconfigure the scouting department and change recruitment focus. We also got few very good youngsters in U's18 and will probably send few of them out on loan (probably Telstar) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Johno Posted November 20, 2023 Author Moderators Share Posted November 20, 2023 Wow! Was expecting us to get hammered by them. We was winning 3-1 in first leg and they scored 2 late goals to draw ffs. Tough game next round, they also knocked out Monaco on penalties! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Johno Posted December 12, 2023 Author Moderators Share Posted December 12, 2023 Title race went to last game of the season, thanks to Feyenoord beating us 1-0 in previous game I was at home to play FC Twente and Feyenoord, away to Excelsior, I wasn't holding my breath especially Feyenoord plays like Barca on drugs. And wow get in Excelsior! Final league table standing (baring play off etc) Next season will be interesting one, will try and get few youngsters out on loan to develop them.
