VfB Lübeck Succession Game

[ShiftyPowers]

Yeah, but he's only got 4* potential based on the current squad. Which is to say that by the time he develops, we should have much better players than he'll ever be.

 

[Filipower]

Perhaps. Still, he has potential to "be a decent Bundesliga CB in the future".

 

[Filipower]

The squad needs A LOT of work, as predicted. Lots of guys are leaving and so I don't smell a very successful season on the way, plus with only 1M to spend. Still, maintenance should be pretty simple.

I'm giving the tactic you guys used a go for the time being, but the asymmetry makes me feel akward.

Nice, two fresh faces for free, courtesy of Ilaje

Midfield talent too, exactly what we needed

 

[ARIAGA II]

I wish I got fullbacks instead since you would need a new pair for the upcoming season.

The mass departures is probably for the best, the only problem is many of them will leaving on frees. Fortunately you might be allowed to sign cheap non Euro players, from outside the UEFA-zone and who better than you to replicate the Porto formula on FM.

Especially if there is no attribute masking.

Indeed, I've already been scanning the U-20s South American teams. Unfortunately underaged South American players can't sign for clubs outside their countries, which means I might have to turn my attention to the EU. (I would try to snatch a gem that would only come a couple of seasons from now, but budget is short and we need players now)

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Start scanning African U-21s. Try the USA too.

 

[Filipower]

I'll watch for those, too. No jews though, this is Germany.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

We're Lubeck, the former capital of a middle aged capitalist trading empire. If anything we should have only jews.

 

[Filipower]

No Americans, neither.

 

[Mandieta6]

I saw that some famous author was born in Lubeck, can't remember who though, think it was Thomas Mann.

Juventino, use that for your next post.

 

[Juventino]

Uhm, our manager Uli Kunkel could take over Venezia down the line and become obsessed with a Polish youth player?

 

[Filipower]

Decent Winger for both sides. Another midfielder is probably coming too, and I'm still looking for another defender.


I spent like 90 minutes scanning all kinds of countries (it's just too easy with Juve's fucking unhidden attributes), but it's impossible to steal youngsters, too expensive. And I found some good ones, too!

 

[Filipower]

I had to give him a release clause for higher division clubs or he wouldn't sign, but was able to price it at 15M.

 

[ARIAGA II]

Heh! Screw you I was gonna proclaim you the greatest transfer negotiator ever!

Still a good one mind.

 

[Filipower]

So, these were the friendlies(you can also see the first few games of the season):

I kind of like the tactic, actually. Only tweaked it a bit (removed long shots, had the GK distributing to a defender) and so far it's working great


And this is the transfer picture so far:

Season is about to get under way, this should be the starting XI:

Roger and Mickel will probably be there though, they're just injured (Roger just got back)

 

[Filipower]

Not bad for the 1st of the season, not bad at all.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Hahaha, the highlight transitions

Is that Thorgan Hazard!?

Your pics in the post before the first match don't work.

He'd better.
