Season 2 concluded - 10th Place


So I'm done season 2 and unfortunately I don't feel that Zoah FC actually made enough progress this season. Somehow the board is happy with the outcome but I definitely had higher hopes. Finishing in 10th place is worst than last season and as the figure below indicates we were actually performing well in the first half of the season. For a while there it looked like we could have been in the top 5.



I wish I could explain why there was such a drop in performance but I'm determined to do better next season. But as an effort to improve the team I have signed three new players for next season, I do believe I need to have better quality players in order to jump up in quality. I figured my main areas where improvement is necessary are the center midfield and my center back. I would appreciate on people's opinions on these signings.







Just for kicks, here are the season summaries from Blue Square as well as higher tiers.

New signing, Griffiths



Griffiths is our new addition to the team, I decided to play him on his very first opportunity and he did not disappoint. He not only kept the opposition out of our side but also scored a goal and had another great chance from a set piece. What a great free signing, apparently he was let go from the Wolves, lucky for us.

I've also been looking at 2 other players Patrick Ada from Cameroon and Shane Huke from Australia, they seem like solid signings but I'm thinking I may not be able to get them, we'll see.

Beginning of 2012 = slump

Things have started to go a bit downhill in 2012, I'm not exactly sure why, We're playing a bit less games and I haven't really changed anything major in the team. I supposed we've had a few big injuries but I really don't understand how a few players being injured for a while could all of a sudden make the rest of the team drop in performance. So I've started to look at the game analysis and noticed that my CDs and my goalie have horrendous passing percentages, I'm now wondering if that's just part of the life of a lower league defender or if I should be changing my tactics a bit to make it so they don't try direct passes every time. I'm starting to tinker with that.

New hot prospect from Sveeeden



So I just bought myself a new hot prospect, Markus Person who's a score 44.6 winger using my formula. Not too bad for an 18 year old.

A great run so far in season 2

Things are definitely going well this season for AC Zoah, we're currently 8th in our league but our performance is good enough to get us in the top 4 I believe. Here are our games so far.



Our last game was particularly excited as we made it into the 2nd round of the FA Cup.



Finances are still a bit of an issue but this win got us around 30k and we also had an infusion of cash last month as well.

2015/2016 - pre-season

So a new season is about to start and I am currently looking to buy a few players. My first major purchase is one I've been wanting to do for a while. I bought Neymar from Santos for 26,900,000 and he's getting a 51,500 wage. Not too bad.

I also got a loaned young player named Doumbia, who's a striker.

Manager of the season - 2014/2015

It also turns out I was voted manager of the season last season.
