    I'm still sporadically playing FM15 lol.

    Just finished season 2023/24 winning Serie B with Livorno, setting a record for goals scored (96)

    There's lots of little bugs in Oz that annoyed me... like the whole Newcastle Jets NPL side and affiliation rules.

    The best Oz bug is that Cahill hasn't got a marquee contract. City have released 90% of their squad and are playing with grey fake players, coming last in the league.

    City finished with the spoon. Perth won the league, Smurfs second, Jerks third. We got knocked out by Brisbane after Vujica gave away a penalty.

    Was interesting to see how the squad changed over the season... Brennan was cut before Jets even started, brought in former Arsenal youth product Arturo Lupoli on loan. Also cut Brown and brought in another Italian journeyman striker, Davis Curiale.

    Last line up was:

    JD
    Hoole - Boogs - Mullen - Vujica
    Cowburn - Ugar - Kanta
    Clut
    Curiale - Pavicevic

    Jackson, Kokko and Lupoli were all out with injuries and were definitely starters. Jackson has the most appearances, 22 all in the line up, none from bench. Lupoli and Kokko had 17 goals between them. BK, Poljak and Hoffman all have more starts than their replacements in the line up but started on the bench.

    The two loans are going to end soon and it also looks like Nordstrand, Ugarkovic and Kantarovski will not get extensions.


    Nordstrand took up a big pay rise in the middle east. Ugar was released but Kanta stays on for another two seasons. Nabbout has been transfer listed.

    No... I played as Bishop's Stortford in Vanarama South. Finished third, beat Maidstone then Dartford to clinch promotion.

    That was all Jones doing.

    In the offseason, Jets have signed attacking mid Jacob Mellis (not Jacob Melling) and some Welsh player who was playing for Moreland City - http://www.scoresway.com/?sport=socc...ayer&id=120108

    They also appear to have secured Victorien Angban on loan from Chelsea for the season, pending work permit.

    Adelaide released Hall, Elsey and Ochieng.
    Brisbane released Pepper, Maclaren turned down contract and moved to Eredivisie and some South Korean side stumped up £1m for DeVere.
    Scum released Appiah, Fletcher and some guy called Rae retired. They picked up some NPL trash and someone on loan from Sheffield Wednesday.
    City are royally ****ed over by Timmy not being marquee in first season as they haven't even got a full squad. 6 Australian players, 5 visa. Teehee.
    Victory released Bray (GK) and signed a striker from Lazio on loan.
    Perth released Oxborrow, Reddy and Marinkovic and sold Shane Lowry for £1m to FC Seoul.
    Smurfs released Simon, O'Neill, Blackwood and Holosko and replaced with some NPL players and Scott McDonald.
    Nix have released a bunch of people I have never heard of and sent others on loan. Signed former Jets superstar Chris Triantis.
    Wanderers released some bloke and signed another striker on loan from Europe.

    So many loan strikers from Europe.

    Hahaha. How do you deal with not being given money to spend and having a shit wage budget each year?

    I win stuff.

    I don't give in to stupid wage demands. The salary floor isn't implemented in FM so I am currently only spending 65% of the total cap.

    I am also pretty ruthless with squad culling. Alwright, Leilei, Fyfe and Vujica all got the axe.

    And despite having a wage restriction, I still managed to get a Brazilian AML as marquee and picked up Vidosic on a free. I also found a youth regen winger, unattached, who was rated 5 star potential, so snapped him up. He's had 4 senior appearances, 3 of those from the bench, with an assist in the FFA cup final just now. Plan was eventually to have him start and Hoole at DR, though Hoff isn't horrendous and regen isn't up to starting yet. Not having a DL is the worst... Jackson starts there (currently injured) and Cowburn is back up but am very much looking forward to getting a proper DL next season.

    I had Brockie as a DP season 2-3-4 was average but Kokko scored 14 goals two seasons in a row in seasons 2-3 (then got homesick and left) as for the players you got rid off all of them had to be released cause no-one would buy them and they were counting against the salary cap. It also seemed like to me every other a-league club even the gypos could spend up to 1mil each off season and I was lucky to get 200K to spend. Then i get sacked early season 4 for 4 losses in a row. But my Main problem was Season 1-2-3, Three games to go were in the 6 with a points buffer and the last 3 games of each season get I got randomly flogged each game and crashed out of the 6 each time

    I haven't won anything yet, apart from FFA Cup. Don't really know what is going to happen in the off season.

    If it turns out like the last few saves and clubs release their entire squads because they brought a player in from Europe on a 25k per week loan agreement, I won't bother anymore.


    Labi is actually my top scorer with 9 in 7 appearances. He's only in the squad because my Brazilian LW broke a toe and I am considering seeing how the LW goes at LB when he returns. I play with CWB so having an attacking player there might work better than a right footed Cowburn or lumbering Jackson.


    PS Brockie DP? Jeebus.
