Career You can't win anything with kids - Celtic Kids


Recommended Posts

Simple concept and a worthy opportunity to see what Kids can be bought, Loaned or even brought in to the club with Transfers.

So as the title quotes, I chose Celtic in the Scottish Championship as its a quite easy league to play in, but a club that can tempt good players to join, especially if I can get them as 16/17 year olds, eventually ready to play at 18 years old, not an easy concept, but doable in this Challenge I am sure.

The Club - CELTIC

IMG_1888.thumb.PNG.aa4a512a2f67aadb4a2bd431c7f0c1c2.PNG

Started it with nothing, no Reputation, no Titles and no Badges

IMG_1889.thumb.PNG.10401fe519077a7c2a15d1c21f1f35a2.PNG

I thought I would show the Transfers for the First Season as it shows the break of the Team from day one, and then bringing in the Kids to take on the first season, I guess after season 1 it will be obvious by a screenshot showing their ages who has had to go, there will be no player in the Team on day one of each season over the age of 20 as the rules dictate.

Transfers

Players Out

I sold, released all those that I could, the rest over the age of 19 simply sits in the reserves and doesn't see the light of day in the first team, eventually they will be sold, run out of contract or released as long as I am not losing too much money. As always with this game, you get nothing for your players, it crazy how much you lose selling, and how much you have to pay to bring in someone.

**No idea why some of the loans was repeated to show them going on loan???

Players In

Key Players

Khudyakov - Excellent GK for his age to try and prevent the goals from going in

Roque & Soonsup-Bell - Strikers to get me the goals

Yildiz & lling - IF players providing the assists to the front man

Season 1 ready to go, all players above 19 have gone to the reserves, sold or released

IMG_1890.thumb.PNG.dd86e3df0042081ae55e0b5ef2ca94c7.PNG

First Final of Season 1, can this be a good start to my career with Kids. Our biggest rivals, what can we do with this game, the answer is nothing, we get them to 90 mins winning 1-0, only to concede on 90+3 to make it 1-1. Then they take the lead in extra time, for us to end it 2-2 and it goes to penalties.

These young ones need to practice, eventually losing 2-4 and letting the cup slip through our hands, maybe next year

IMG_1891.thumb.PNG.78fa540a1e5c744ce0f0c7f68a6ee057.PNG

End of season 1 is here, it's hard to get a tactic that helps with Stamina, clear cut chances, and the ability to fit everyone in, but my tactic worked and the next screenshot shows you can win SOMETHING with Kids, especially in the Scottish Premier League.

IMG_1892.thumb.PNG.d41fb32a69013bcfdbef778244fc73e8.PNG

As always Rangers stayed the course with us, but we pipped them in the end, winning the League by 5 points clear, all with Kids

IMG_1893.thumb.PNG.6bb917f5b3ab555be73500c87e745e42.PNG

Another opportunity to get to a Cup Final, this time the Scottish Cup, and well we smashed it to beat Hearts 5-0 with Vitor Roque getting 4 goals.

IMG_1894.thumb.PNG.3debd8a02c74f9d050522598e4c1f1a9.PNG

Due to the League win, then followed by the Cup win, I started to earn various Titles by the end of the Season

End of season how did the players look, what have they achieved within the amount of games they played, who was the standout players, and what did the plaudits think of their efforts

Team Goals

Vitor Roque on loan from Barcalona was simply brilliant for me getting 27 goals at the young age of 18, this was followed by Kenan Yildiz who got himself 17 goals

IMG_1898.thumb.PNG.c864c5a54c528b63fcc3e5cfd47b326b.PNG

Assits

Not as high as expected, but Samuel IIing gets himself on top with 14 assists

IMG_1899.thumb.PNG.32982c778f0f26f8cbf77c651b7ead84.PNG

Over all Av. Rating 

For such young ages, expected players brought in on load outshone in the team getting really high average ratings, couldn't expect anymore than this

IMG_1901.thumb.PNG.6f2cc4bafc9022d48332a48aff231f64.PNG

Appearances

Again for such young players, to get the amount of games out them was unbelievable, obviously Khudyakov played the most as the main GK, but David Ozoh was excellent to play 47 games in a full season as a midfielder at 19/20 years old, followed by Nathan Zeze on 42 appearances as a Center Half.

Age at the end of the season, and players who will not be able to play next season through to leaving or reaching the grand old age of 20!!!!

20 - Lesley Ugochukwu, Soonsup-Bell, IIing (leaves from their Loan)

20 - McPherson, Nelson, Campbell, Carse, Anderson, Khudyakov Leave the club

Who was the standout players and what did they win

Team of the Year 2024/2025 - Vitor Roque, Ugochukwu, IIing, Zeze make up 4 of the best players

Top goalscorer - Vitor Roque pinch top spot with 19 goals for the season

Manager of the Season - Got myself second in the Season best manager

FW Player of the Season - Both IIing and Yildiz make up 1st and 3rd in the FW player of the season

FW Young Player of the Season - Could of been any of them as such young ages, but IIing takes the top spot

Top Players of the season for me

Daniil Khudyakov - Brilliant GK to buy, a shame I have to let him go after one season

Diogo Monteiro - CD who was so strong for me, got him for one more season  before he turns 20

Kyliane Dong - IF who played so well as a 18/19 year old, got him for another season

Theiry Small - Left back that comes in from Man Utd, really strong and excellent playing out of a back 4

Season 2

After a good first season with the youngsters, can we do better this season, as I see the loanee return back to their relevant clubs, I look through the Premier clubs to see what talents might have been released by some of the top clubs, but at times, even they are to old, so back to the transfer market or start to look at Loanee's who can make up the team for the start of Season 2.

Team of Season 2

A few Loanees come in to make up the numbers, Setford the main GK, with Donley and McNeilly to play as my main stikers.

Bellingham, Jobe that is agrees to join us, Duarte is a Regen who looks really promising. Vata and Kelly become mature enough to make themselves really good midfielders in the Scottish top league.

All Players 20 years old have now been sold or moved to the Reserves, all players start the season under the 20 year old limit for this challenge.

VIAPLAY CUP FINAL vs Rangers

For the second season in a row, we get to the Viaplay Cup final against our old rivals Rangers, this time we get to extra time but not  penalties, this time they clinch the win at the 100 minute point with their prolific striker Danilo, another season passes without this trophy.

Managerial Season Stats 2024/2025

(Forgot to capture the League table)

89 Final points gets me another league championship, even with such a young side, I still only concede 20 goals, losing 5 games out of the 38. Not bad considering I even had a couple of 17 year olds making up the first team.

Appearances

Setford as the main GK plays all the games, but again youngsters lasting 40 - 45 games a season, some really good displays from 'Kids'

Team Goals

Young Jamie Donley on loan from Tottenham was excellent this season scoring 32 goals in 41 games. Donnell McNeilly on loan from Chelsea comes second with 13 goals

Team Av. Rating

Some really impressive displays from the whole team make up some really high average ratings, Donley goals and his overall ratings show how impressive he will become as he matures each season, a shame he becomes to old and to expensive for me to get him permanently.

Players worth a mention

Sam Parker - What an excellent Wing back for me, good all round play for a player I got for free

IMG_1947.thumb.PNG.a85e543204afb119e46ef81cfca34f94.PNG

Diogo Monteiro - Another defender who was excellent for us, I paid £300 thousand for his services, as you can see he will leave for free to Brentford who gets a good solid defender

IMG_1948.thumb.PNG.adf3ad9ce7909d3c9051ffa5909f5788.PNG

Roony Bardghji - What a player, superb as a right IF cutting inside to get in the box as a left footed player, got one more season to see him flourish even better for us, cost me £17Mil to bring to the club, but worth the money

IMG_1949.thumb.PNG.a8e3f7f321697624c6a9504feb2c5ef9.PNG

Jobe Bellingham - Might be in the shadow of his brother, but excellent for us, solid, in both centre midfield, or even as an attacking midfielder, cost us £16.5Mil to bring to the club

IMG_1950.thumb.PNG.62dcfb89b92a8a146ff253b1c34860df.PNG

So season 2 is over, the same question is 'Can you win with Kids' and so far I am doing ok, will continue with the same mentality, hopefully better with the European cups, and maybe that ViaPlay cup could be mine to win.

Any Comments??
