I think for the first 5 seasons or so I was only able to add a couple of decent players each season, at the most.

Dafuge, I'd hang onto Joshua if I were you. Even if you get £10m for him, I doubt there'll be anyone interested that'll be worth spending even a little of that money on (for a few years at least). It wasn't until I reached the Primera that there was anyone worth spending even a few hundred thousand on.

I'm going to keep him, if I sold him there's no way I could bring in anyone to replace him. Although saying that, I could do with the money. I'm still £250k in debt and the board are still vetoeing all transfers because of my wages being over budget.

We're almost relegated. I can't believe how well we were doing, to suddenly struggle so much. We ended up finishing in the playoff place, and lost the first leg away 3-1. Can't see us doing enough, and then going to win 2 legs in the final

Whats worse is how well we were doing, it looked like we should have stayed up easily. The strikers just stopped scoring, and we kept letting in the first goal, often early making it hard for ourselves.

What was working in the first half of the season stopped working in the 2nd half. On the final day, 15th and 14th were playing each other, it finished 1-1. If 14th won we would have stayed up on goal difference.

I'll play the 2nd leg now but to do well enough over 4 matches is looking like asking too much.

Lost the 2nd leg, but I just found out we're in the final. It seems only one team gets relegated

There's still a chance, but 2 legs again and Peralta have a striker thats scored 16, and another with 10.

2017-18

Another quick season, didn't need to buy or sell anyone, just going through the matches and dominating the Segunda Division again. The club set new division records for goals scored and points gained, as well as Jaume Silva setting records for top goalscorer (52) and average rating. He also won Spanish Young Player of the Year - possibly the first Segunda Division player to do so.

Once I clinched promotion a few good youngsters became interested, so I decided to spend the club's balance on 2 great young defenders for next season (costing just over £8m between them). I was a bit worried that I'd be in debt, but then my pals at Barcelona sorted it out for me. They offered £30m for David Alvarez my Spain international midfielder, feeling greedy I negotiated it to £40m and they accepted! That's allowed me to replace him with someone who looks a lot better, and strengthen other areas of the team as well as getting in some hot prospects for the future with £26m to spare

All looks well for our second crack at the Primera! It'll be all the sweeter if we can do well because 2019 is Cultural Durango's centenary year.

Wow, can't believe how well your doing now! £40m for a Cultural Durango player :o

Do you think you will survive in the Premier division this time?

retired_stesska

We did it \o/\o/\o/

Won the first leg 1-0, came back to 2-2 from 2-0 in the home leg. The commentry said we won the 2nd Division B2 And I could congratulate the players on our cup win.

I'll review the season properly later. Really didn't think we'd do it

Congrats on your cup win ! :thup:

Remember to check out who's been released by the Primera clubs, especially Athletic (obviously).

The £40m player was only valued at £5m, I'd set his asking price at £30m a year early when Real had enquired about him, it was a shock when Barca came along.

In previous years I've only had 1 or 2 players from the academy, but this year we got around 10! 2 of them looking particularly good - a 'promising' ML and a 'promising' DR. Should definitely survive this time, the team looks good enough for the top half although it is very very young and might need some time to gel.
