After seeing that the top 3 teams in my division were fully professional I've undertaken the painstaking task of offering full time contracts to all of my players. So far it's been promising, club captain - Nevio Berdi signing within 1 day.

iacovone's Very Exciting Pre Season Update

Basically just a chance to show you the players I've brought in. It's been a productive off-season with plenty of young and talented players coming in having been released by the previous clubs. I've also given all the part-timers I wanted to keep full time contracts. The rest have been offloaded. 3 have left, 2 have retired and none of the loanees wanted to stay, so complete rebuilding had to be done.

We are predicted to come 10th which is just slightly below mid-table. Anyway here are the new boys:

Darko Verhas - very high hopes for this guy :cool:
Sasa Jelenic - potentially Verhas's long term partner at the back if he develops right
Ivan Glavina
Zvonko Bilic
Josip Soljic
Zdravko Semialjac - pace!
Luka Jovic - another great prospect

So all in all, a brand new squad, which definitely contains enough potential to far exceed the ability of last years squad (if they haven't already) I'm sure there will also be a few more additions coming soon.

aaberdeenn your club Novalja, despite going down, signed the Croatian Under 21 Captain from under my nose. It must be an attractive place to play!

So this is only happening in the Northern Irish leagues. I mean, almost half my wage budget (£880 out of £2000 per week) is going to unused youth players, and it totally sucks.

Békéscsaba Elöre FC 2011/12 Winter Break

One word, ownage, before the season I bought some new defenders such as Mr Kiss to make up for my weak full backs last season. The money came from selling this brave guy for £100K (who then tore his achilles in his first game for new team tehe).

The new defence lets in the fewest goals in the league and some games is amazing, at the end of this game came the message, Duck's boys never looked like losing

All of this leaves me comfortably winning the league by quite a long way. I think its actually quite easy to have success in this league since the computer plays it full team in the sucky league cup where I play just reserves. This means their players have two games a week to my one, the cup is that bad.

Even my finances are starting to look up a bit, leveling off at least or i could optimistically say I'm making money.

All my youth players get 100 a week while my main players get a lot less. I love the feature where you can't release them without giving them 5-10k each.

That brave guys link doesn't seem to work, try this one.

I found a small work-around. If you offer them new part time contracts on the same wages, but only until the end of the season, they will usually accept. So it means you will only have them for one season instead of the three year youth contract.

Békéscsaba Elöre FC 2011/12 Ninja Update

To whoever said that Péter Odrobéna sucked, I think it was emgergo, he just solved my financial hole. I have no idea where the other team got the money from but I need a new DM.

One of my scouts found him last season when he was only 16yo, I'd tracked him for the season. He went on to score 20 goals in 24 games that season at the age of just 16, so he is proven at this level at that age aswell! :eek:

The strange thing is our coach's/scouts don't rate him much in terms of potential, which is alittle odd?

I've got Semialjac too. :thup: Two of my U19's just got promoted to the U21's. :cool:
