slight tactical change, was required to help us be abit more in control, but as a result we have moved away from the relegation spots. And look to rock a safe mid table. Signing a 34 year old Jorge Galen has defiantly helped.

£2m for 5th? We don't even get that for winning the league. Ok we get group stage Chamipions League football, but still.

Using the jan update database for some reason Derby County FC have a nice chill first season aim Avoid relegation, where alot of teams seem to want playoffs or better. The squad is rather young and has a few good players, and 10m to help make additions. The initial weekspots of the squad are: Goalkeeper. Roos is average, and in loan Hamer, looks average too. Rightback for first part of season, due to injuries right winger, Joozfelan, is just pacey. and if Jack Marriot doesnt get his scoring boots, those behind him dont look overly great.

I'm doing my best not to shelve this save. Spending nearly 30yrs in Northern Ireland does things to you. Had a unexpected blip in the Champions League and took the huff and started playing CK3. Nearly fed up bashing my head off the wall with that game too. I'll hopefully come back fresh and with renewed enthusiasm for the save. I'm certain that i won't get the league into the top 6 and that played on my mind too.

I wanna say keep going, but your mental health is getting impacted here. take a break, come back in a week see if its the save/the game maybe a longer hiatus is required, maybe a life / game balance is required abit.

Don't lose sight of what you've already achieved too. 30 seasons under your belt and establishing the league in the top 10 is phenomenal. I would need to play every spare minute I had to get through that much FM and I would never have the patience to stick with one project that long. Even if you do shelve the save now, you've done a great job.

I think that when i get back i will have to do full-season updates. It should work out for the better. The 1st half of the season is fairly straightforward and the 2nd is all about if i can do anything worthwhile in Europe. If i fail in Europe then the 2nd half of the update is a chore. I'm even thinking about adjusting my transfer habits. I don't really need special players until after the Champions League gruop stage. After that, if i'm in the Europa League then maybe i can see what i need for the short term to win the cup.
Feeling a bit fresher. CK3 just isn't for me.

Victory in third tier of europe (our first european adventure) also take this level saeriously due to second season in top flight, we finish lower than the previous season, but aim was again to avoid relegation, so im happy with anything above 18th !

That's a great season Jawzy! That tv money is massive, much more than I expected given the prize money in the Conference League isn't all that high, right?

The prize money for winning the entire thing is approx 2m iirc, but the rounds prior were around 200-400k apperence fees. so the tv money is HUGE. compared to the prize money

I have a new game that I'm am going to start posting about possibly with the first post tonight if i get the time, but I have to say that you know you have an interesting save when 9 games into the save, the best goalscorer of the league, with 6 goals... is your wingback.

I've slowly been writing up the intro to my new save, but I wanted to share something already. As someone who was never that good at the tactical side, it's great to see that you've made your libero work right:

started a game as a former international football with highest badges, essentially doing a international manager journeyman. my first job came after Denmark failed to qualify from there group. but qualified for the playoffs, I was made manager in nov 2019. A nice win over Slovakia, but a narrow loss to Ukraine, meant our summer was quiet, after the euro2020 which was won by Spain, a bunch of european giants came available. Italy offered me the chance, So I will aim to take Italy far in the next world cup. but first the nations league We play france in semi finals and if we go through we meet Germany or Spain
