Moderators Johno Posted December 14, 2022 Moderators Share Posted December 14, 2022 RC Lens Just finished my first season with Lens and wow, didn't even expect to see us finishing 2nd! Just created a tactic based on the players at the club and literally flew off. Pushed PSG all the way til 10 games left, and sadly they beat us and pulled away. Maybe I am overachieving already with Lens? Also, huge special mentions goes to Openda, who smashed 42 goals in 39 games in all competitions! Surprised he haven't got called up to Belgium senior squad ffs. Huge mention to Jovic, who absolutely caused havoc down the left hand side TRANSFERS Most of them are already signed when I took over, I have signed the following players Hedl, Jovic, Datro Fofana, Christensen, Guliksen and Pascanu and Marshall-Rutty and few many youngsters. Pretty please with Rutty's development since joining Out - Fofana wanted to leave due to Spurs interest in him so off he went. Slowly playing Sylla, more into first team football as Fofana's replacement and seems to have done well. Lastly, we won Coupe de France! Surprised we won it easily in the final, especially with Le Harve, knocked out PSG in the semi-final! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Derek Posted December 17, 2022 Administrators Share Posted December 17, 2022 Brilliant result finishing 2nd mate with Lens and well done on the cup win. It's going to be tough to top that season. How do you think the team can handle the CL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I have came across a bug, can't even offer contract to coaches or scouts to my backroom team Sadly this have stopped me playing FM for few weeks now. Might start new game now sadly.

Im gutted, was really enjoying my Lens save, yet I can only offer zero wage to any staff that I want to hire or renew my staff contracts. However, I started this on beta.

Moderators Johno Posted January 5, 2023 Author Moderators Share Posted January 5, 2023 I have decided to carry on with this save regardless, however my director of football can offer coaches new contract. So god knows how! Anyway I have recieved this from Lyon, Tough choice to make here, Lyon seems to be a rebuilding project and get them back to the top again but still enjoying it with Lens.

Moderators Johno Posted January 5, 2023 Author Moderators Share Posted January 5, 2023 Goodbye, Lens and hello Lyon! I decided to take this job as I felt Lyon is a huge rebuilding project, Also I can offer new scouts a contract, must be lens problems?

Moderators Johno Posted January 5, 2023 Author Moderators Share Posted January 5, 2023 I have decided to take this job as I felt it would be an exciting project for me to rebuild Lyon to former glory again. Current squad Pretty happy with the current squad but feels some players are due to be replacing due to their age, currently got 20M to spend. Will spend alot of time looking at whole squad across the club and improve the structure and improve the backroom staff as well. Will be using the same tactic I have used with Lens as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy to see you carry this save on. I enjoyed my time in France in 2022 on pass the save. I've come across many bugs and I've not been able to bring myself to play much FM lately especially not my Graham Potter save, I may start again myself and a fresh story but I need to think about where I go 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Johno Posted January 10, 2023 Author Moderators Share Posted January 10, 2023 Lost interest in my Lyon save, so I am doing a redux with Lens, saved the game before going to Lyon, so already played pre season. Arranged tour to China at end of last season, good to see Openda, carries on his scoring for us Transfers Not much to say apart from bringing in 2 players Signed him last season but had to wait til the summer as he was on loan to Westerlo from Club Brugge. Starter at left back. Took a huge risk on him and couldn't see his stats fully so took a risk, so don't know how to sum him up! :lol: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any reason for the 'ban' on new staff? Absolutely no idea, was trying all summer to bring in new staff but all of a sudden I can, probaby a bug. Have also strengthened the backroom staff to improve the coaching set up, which I will post up shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Johno Posted January 11, 2023 Author Moderators Share Posted January 11, 2023 Decided to bring in coaches like Bergkamp and D'Agostino as we were bit weak in defence and possession section. Here is after we made those appointments I am also still looking to bring in more coaches and also the U's19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Johno Posted January 11, 2023 Author Moderators Share Posted January 11, 2023 Brought in new staff below and pretty happy with it. Missed out on few decent U's18 coaches/manager as they renewed contract with their current club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Johno Posted January 12, 2023 Author Moderators Share Posted January 12, 2023 Finally, got my number 1 target for U's19 manager! No stranger to the club, was player, assistant manager at the club. HUGE improvement to previous one More ironically, Troyes, wants him as their U's19 manager!

Moderators Johno Posted January 12, 2023 Author Moderators Share Posted January 12, 2023 My scout just found this hidden gem! They only want 1.5M for him, could be Jovic replacement if I were to sell him. My other scout also found this hidden gem too, costing me 2.4M. Already got 3 caps for u's21. Might have to keep an eye on his current club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
