Fun Fact: Shunta Aoki and Ryotaro Maeda played at the same uni team as youtuber @hata1soccer, and made frequent appearances in videos from over a year ago
Low level transfer specials are the best. Watching Jack’s topsy turvy play with wages he’s willing to pay, and then not pay, and then maybe pay, and then overpay make these my favorite episodes
I think it would definitely be prudent early on in this save game to budget/sign an extra 4-5 players than you're used to having in other leagues. Considering promotion has a 3-games-in-3-days stage followed immediately by a 3-games-in-5-days stage it seems like rotation is the key to promotion. Would rather have 3 players of decent quality in a given position than 1 first choice and 1 backup in it.
I'm always impressed that you can look at players and judge that they can do a job in a position at the level you're playing at, despite the attributes not looking great. TY for the uploads.
Love this exploration of new leagues! Good work! Where next? Have you ever compared FM & FMH with a similar challenge running parallel? I only play FMH these days & miss all those tiny details the full FM gave us.
Yeah so with clubs trying to get to the JFL you are gonna run at a loss, i mean nankatsu are gonna go broke if they dont make JFL this year for example. that is why cup competitions are so important to improve reputation in the lower leagues to get more sponsership income. Tokyo Cup and the Shakaijin Cup are the two main ones
oh, the only bug with the youth cup registration is the redirect to the u18s when you hit the button. you're registering overage players so the actual registration screen is under the first team registration 👍
When I heard that you will train Kajitsuka to play as a cb my first instinct was to laugh but then I lookd at his attributes. CB is probaply his best position
I feel like Handa didn't get the praise he deserves from you this year. You are always talking about how great Ota is (which is fair since he is the better one) but Handa is not that far behind him.
Are you using setting where you can see players actual potential? Also what is the green / red star under coach summary on a player that shows what their league capability is? Is that just where your coach thinks they can play?
Given how you basically have to win two back to back tournaments to get out of this league you might actually want to put a bit of an emphasis on getting players that can handle big matches. Normal lower leagues you can afford to take chances with the guys who can show up mentally for 75% of the games that aren't high pressure but this league is a whole other kettle of fish
About Taiga Kameda, while you write his name with the characters for large and river, the pronunciation Taiga (with an elongated final 'a' sound) is also used for the word tiger in Japanese. It wouldn't surprise me if at least informally, his friends call him 'Tiger'.
Day 252 of praying that another Super Mario will rise and shine in Japan (Mario is technically japanese after all) within this new awesome save and for Jack to actually sign him this time!
I can't be the only one who just trials every player who's out of contract under the age of 30 and signs the players who maintain good star ratings after a week of being at the club? (I instantly cancel any trialists who are 3* or less to make room for other trialists)
