Loving your career so far. Sorry for being late but I still got 15 more seasons to follow though. Also I wanted to ask for your permission that if I start a career of my own with Elgin, May I use your Tactic in that career? Thanks and Good luck with Scotland.

No problem thanks for joining 😊 Yeah I've no issues with you trying the tactic. Not sure how it will work in the lower leagues at first but let me know how it works out. Screenshot_20210113_163838_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.cfc86ae619e8891b181da1b058a7e2d6.jpgScreenshot_20210113_163841_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.3f9d4aca8c0d22b2c3554be317509420.jpgScreenshot_20210113_163845_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.25b24d81b76b85f1f6079519eb28e65c.jpgScreenshot_20210113_163849_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.0f19d4ae1db49c1c65dabedb042a8344.jpg

Thanks for allowing me to use your tactic! Also I would Appreciate it if you could tell me how guys like you make your own great Tactics? I have tried to make my own tactics but it just doesn't work. Any Tips Please?

Trial and error! I'm not the best at finding what works myself, I have am ideology and choose my formation/instructions based on that. Make sure to give your Tactic a good chance before changing. 10-15 games is a good guage, by that point you should have good relationships with players at least.

Thanks Bro. You really motivated me and I am going to try and create my own Tactics now (I gave up making my own tactics before because I got demotivated). Thanks again and I Appreciate your reply and tips.

P.S: Will be following your career and excited for Scotland to lift a cup next season.

It is definitely demotivating when nothing works but when you do get it to click, it feels so rewarding. Usually once you have a base it only needs a slight change when it starts to fault again. 

Good luck

Season 15

We've kicked on a bit since my last check in, only conceding 2 goals and avoiding defeat in the leagueScreenshot_20210114_062136_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.60bea5f2b9fd9248dbe6a0fccc81779e.jpg

We were knocked out of the CL after losing to Barca and beating Inter which was only good enough for the Europa League. Screenshot_20210114_062218_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.f8e314580f908f65cceb3819beaf1f3e.jpg

A tricky tie against Galatasaray in the first knockout round which we won 5-3 on agg and now face CSKA Moscow. 

Still struggling a bit for goals but Barco seems to be stepping up as the No1 ST and is top GS in the league.

Season 15

Well what a turn around to the end of the season! Screenshot_20210114_131550_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.0b1e8cd29c623b452e9f782d07e3d851.jpg

Another league title which is the utmost minimum achievement each season and again the best defensive record in the league with only 7 goals conceded and 1 defeat. Screenshot_20210114_125048_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.e5810a876cd1442209ab35916a51ae13.jpgAfter the disappointment of being knocked out of the Betfred Cup by Celtic we got revenge in the Scottish Cup. It was a game of 2 halves however going in 1-0 down at the break I made all 3 changes. Brendan May coming off the bench kick started the comeback bagging 2 goals after the restart. Screenshot_20210114_125124_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.26e0e3556d3535343868dda991e8fa09.jpgFive players in TOTY with only 3 teams represented! Screenshot_20210114_131559_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.917b45114763167df7e2fc33d4ab44bb.jpgNot quite a clean sweep of yearly awards but we take the majority! Darren Azeez is off at the end of the season after 11 years at the club after Bournemouth pick him on a bosman. Screenshot_20210114_125629_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.5719d8eecb4da0a459f00ecd8074933e.jpgWe capped the season off in style winning the Europa League for the second time. Youngster Guillermo Barco bagging a hat trick in the final bag the trophy! Screenshot_20210114_131716_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.8421249757761f7c42b752dd0dca2a19.jpgScreenshot_20210114_131722_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.f43860381d3410edc7ca2da9b91be4c3.jpgBarco at only 20 has brilliant stats for a 20 yo. Hit by several injuries and a rotating squad he gave me 22 goals in return which I'm happy with and hopeful he'll only improve on! 

We turned the season around with Scotland alsoScreenshot_20210114_131742_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.2f08f937805bfbf77d1ed98dc7747d17.jpgScreenshot_20210114_131732_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.91d743389322a5578da3ae2b286948ba.jpgUnbeaten this campaign we put ourselves in a good position to qualify for our next major international competition! 

A few big first team players and youngsters being offloaded in the summer to try and improve the work rate amongst the team which currently sits at an F!

Season 16 Pre-Season

As I said at the end of last season, there was to be a big overhaul of the squad in the summer to try and improve out work rate from an FScreenshot_20210114_173511_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.fb14a3cd2794faf0d89841f809a27e5a.jpg

£128m made seeing future stars Conte and De Melo leave the club for less than their value as well as starting LB Bahlouli, my son Anthony Hector and backup CB Eickmayer. Old reliable Stevie Sutherland goes to Celtic and as mentioned before starting left IF Azeez was off in a free transfer! Screenshot_20210114_173524_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.f5a7df45168791a0e18494e0f982d31e.jpg

Money well spent however with Sow a 5* potential left IF slotting straight into the first team as well as high potential squad player brought in to offer options in rotation.

Now here's how we line up for the season... Screenshot_20210114_173454_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.7089e8f4267c8c73609ca1bfe0272204.jpg

The start of the season may be a struggle as relationships build but it should be a very strong squad and we have great strength in depth to push on all competitive fronts. Screenshot_20210114_175133_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.9b0413fc20c2dd8c3b625b776356dcb8.jpgWe managed to increase our Work Rate to a C with a few players still sitting in the reserves waiting on offers. After two league games we face Liverpool in the European Super Cup!

Its December and its been a solid start to the season! We started it off in style in the Euro Super Cup...Screenshot_20210114_175120_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.664d837207bcc992289b543c46c2a65c.jpg

With a superb 3-0 win against CL winners Liverpool. Screenshot_20210115_081719_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.0b9217c200f1787289eb8a1ea94a5f98.jpg

Top of the league unbeaten and only one goal conceded.

As always our first domestic trophy to compete for is the Betfred Cup. With a large (young) squad and competing on multiple fronts I decided to play a completely different starting 11 in this competition which was risky however still a strong teamScreenshot_20210115_081447_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.8ed66046c44a3f8fef596a8248acc0d6.jpg

They didn't disappoint as they wrapped up the competition with no problems. We did manage to avoid both Rangers and Celtic in our run which helped.

We were given an extremely tough draw in the CL Group Stages, a 'Group of Death' it would seemScreenshot_20210115_081713_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.499e8a1268910e591e43bf4248090340.jpg

We have played phenomenal however and will qualify top with one game left! 

Our European Qualifiers with Scotland ended disappointingly as we only picked up 1 win from our remaining 5 fixtures finishing 3rdScreenshot_20210115_083005_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.481276b510ecb4c0acec16ae0f84f6df.jpg

We have been given a lifelines however as we face Bulgaria in the Playoff SF who we recently drew 2-2 with in a friendly so I'm still hopeful! Screenshot_20210115_083029_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.dc8b3172748836da2a9de9da3dbf6a99.jpg

We're in for another big season I can feel it!

Still can't get over that defence, talk about solid!

It is fairly impressive 😊 although it clearly doesn't work with just average players as my Scotland defence is no where near as solid. Unless it's to do with the positive relationships...nonetheless I'm not complaining!

Season 16 Summary

Another year down and another league title in the bag! Screenshot_20210116_163827_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.2e889448515f86b32fc1129f288a76a7.jpg

Five in a row which is almost inevitable at this stage in the game. The gap is huge between us and the rest however it was a good year for Scotland in Europe as both Celtic and Rangers as they both finished runners-up in the Euro Cup and Euro II. 

There was a scare in the Scottish Cup as we were almost beaten in the final by Hibernian! Screenshot_20210116_162035_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.791b48ef9357e5e1e047db2f4a7fe58d.jpgThey took us all the way to a penalty shootout where we scraped through winning 8-7! Alfredo Laxalt our GK stepped up to bag the winner before saving the last penalty! 

I said last update I had a feeling we were in for a big season and I wasn't wrong...Screenshot_20210116_162716_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.5353c6cc6738874e633eff4bf6fd56fe.jpgWe started the season as we did the league by beating Liverpool in the CL repeating our win against them in the Super Cup. This notched our second CL victory! Screenshot_20210116_164413_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.6ad19c4f96f5eaeb090ce69b86abb8fd.jpg

Clean sweep of domestic awards amongst the squad with one name in particular cleaning house picking up every single year award as well as Top GS! Screenshot_20210116_163923_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.3c3e47fe054322ec44b599c326d2cf09.jpgA brilliant 8.08 avr and a 28 goal return which is brilliant for such a youngster in a huge first season! Screenshot_20210116_162709_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.3aa771a4b08195c0fa47ef79472f6740.jpgThe club rewarded my tremendous achievements at the club by offering me a position on the board. 

After starting the season with a massive rebuild, I was pretty happy to concede defeat to the fact we may have a poor year and just focus on domestic trophies but the team have proved me wrong! 

@StuartM15 goals conceded in all competitions this season and only 5 in the league 😉

Season 17

Top of the league and we're in December... Screenshot_20210120_025948_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.0484fe9ec13ded699bfbd97d4852cb01.jpg

A phenomenal start with only 1 goal conceded in the league! Screenshot_20210120_025240_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.663be6960dc26264caf9327e12d82136.jpg

As per usual Betfred Cup champions with a comfortable 2-0 win. Big shout out to Markus Solskjaer however who had his first start of the season as both of our strikers are out injured and he plays out of his skin. A real future talent! Screenshot_20210120_030006_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.3cdf8779b79d4e5b33d09963f29d5c01.jpg

We also have only conceded 1 in the CL so far this season as we topped a tough group with ease. 

Meaning we have only conceded 3 goals (one in our first friendly against Real Madrid) all season! 

Screenshot_20210120_011030_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.a3f5325166b8feba6b2bda93af11402d.jpg

Stanislas Palhinha was also in the running for the Ballon D'or which is phenomenal for the youngster! 

For Scotland, we went with a squad full of fresh faces after our disappointing European Championship Qualifying Campaign. Screenshot_20210120_011401_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.1ed4a54cbec8d86a5980f8132b77733c.jpgScreenshot_20210120_011405_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.2387494fbc2000caec7a9442ea5eb1d5.jpgThe boys rewarded us well going unebaten in our Nations League Group and we haven't lost since the playoff SF. 

We've been hit with a few injuries this season so far so we'll see what happens for the rest of the season...

We unfortunately lost one game near the end of the season as we rotated to compete in Europe. On a plus note though we only conceded 3 goals in the league all season and and a grand total of 8 in all competitions! Screenshot_20210121_014504_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.b64e9721cb39a1d444a6c1b574d691a0.jpg

In November Stanislas Palhinha came third in the World Footballer of the Year awards

A month later Sow was named French POTY, a great year for our 2 young IF's

Screenshot_20210121_013212_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.98ba9b2f20d9dcc2be5c4a30698a2033.jpg

Sealed the domestic treble again with a close victory over St Johnstone, our start striker bagging the winner. Screenshot_20210121_013844_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.1189b3cf70b49de1ceffe3f9d6c97c22.jpg

Another close match saw us grab the CL again winning it back to back for the first time. Screenshot_20210121_021851_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.830378b3d9ed98c64f72176621c59002.jpgFinally we went on to win the Club World Championship for the first time in the career!Screenshot_20210121_015355_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.9a5e01fdc5f3747975cf72b0855646f3.jpg

Not quite so outstanding across the indivisual awards this year, missing out on top Goalscorer and Players POTY. 

The career is getting stale, it's pretty much at a stage of plug and play.

Looking for ideas to help freshen it up?

Just an idea from me, as I'm always messing with my tactics... I saw Mr Tree did a 10 year tactics trial on his Brentford career last year. Maybe something similar here? It might mean that you have to shake up the squad year on year to keep winning? Well done on keeping going!

So try a different tactic each year? Definitely interesting, will start this next year i think 👍 Thanks

Yeah, exactly that. I think they were mostly from the tactics index but with a couple of specials too. I haven't been patient enough to keep a tactic for a whole season recently so good luck!
