2015 Bala Town : The Welsh Way


 Share

Recommended Posts

Ks2rH3b.png

 

 

Welcome, people of Vibe, to a career/set of challenges that I will look to accomplish in this thread. Updates should be around daily to every other day, but it doesn't matter as long as you guys have something to read :P. If you can't tell already, the club I will choose is from my current favored league, the Welsh league, and the club I have chosen is a club that apparently is in a fight for surviving in the Welsh Premier League, but I'm sure they can. Anyways, it is the one and only, Bala Town.

Before we start with the actual career, let me bring up the rules and challenges that I will have to abide by:

 

  • Welsh players only - which means foreign players must be shipped off.
  • Win something with at least 5-6 players in the squad that are homegrown
  • Get 1000 goals with a player
  • Get a homegrown player in the Wales squad
  • Get Superb and Academy or just Superb training facilities
  • 300 assists with a player
  • Grab the Champions League!
  • And last but not least, make Bala a Welsh force

And doing all of this.....The Welsh Way!

Anyways, sorry for the short OP, I need to work on the second update :D. But, I hope you stay with me along the way on completing my objectives the Welsh way. And as always, thanks for reading.

Good luck. But I must say though... Winning the Champions League is going to be a herculean one. I've tried it myself. The transfer and wage budget too is less than minimum. It's going to be one he'll of a journey if u win!

Agreed. Even if you get a quality player from overseas, they're more than likely leave for a bigger club by next season or so. Thanks anyway

With Warrenpoint in NIRE I got to the CL knockouts in 5 seasons. However without foreign players this will be very tough. Even tougher without a Giggs regen to pick up at the start!

@iPedanta - True. Now, I have to leave all my amazing African regens alone. :(

@Mike - Thanks Mike, Wales are actually fun for looking out on youngsters.

 

 

Anyways, update coming in about an hour max.

Bala Town - The Bala Boys

 

Transfers:

 

5dG0V2n.jpg

vQrAaqK.jpg

 

Some great players in our transfers such as Thomas, Pejic, and Weston, but I also added some youngsters like Zola and Smith to balance it out. Not to mention Chad Bond, a prolific striker, and a new center back to come at the end of the season in Darius Waters, a ball-playing defender. I'm looking to get rid of some of the foreign players in the summer.

 

The End Squad:

 

XiS0fwZ.jpg

8E23QyN.jpg

 

Again, we have a very well balanced and mixed squad and to my surprise, our best eleven consists of all Welsh players, that's an achievement!

 

D9LtmmA.jpg

 

A bad patch of non-Welsh players right here.

 

The Formation:

 

WBssQIk.jpg

 

The formation to be used is a 4-3-3 or as how I like to call it, the Pancake. Now this pancake is divided into layers, the first layer, the defensive layer consists of a wing back and a full back, one who bombs up and one who stays back, along with two central defenders. Next, the second layer, the creative part, is made up of a box-to-box midfielder to add some physical-ness and two central midfielders to just zone in the center. Then, the attacking layer, which is self-explanatory: to get goals. This formation is well balanced and is overpowered (imo) in the Welsh league.

 

League and Cup performances:

 

COjHUfY.jpg

 

A bit tight from December to March, but the Bala Boys came out on top, proud of that. With a 7 point clearing from TNS, I think we did pretty well, also considering we had the least amount of goals conceded, but that GD though.

 

nvZCoPP.jpg

 

We won this game, fair and square, I had a few nail-biting moments here and there, but a save from Antell rewarded us a trophy, that's two cups!

 

Ucq2iGc.jpg

 

Absolute destruction of Afan Lido in the cup final, a good result to complete the treble and instill my name into Bala town folklore, thank you very much.

 

Player Awards:

 

XGaSMLD.jpg

Top goalscorer goes to Lukey Boundford, what a lad he is, top notch performances, keep it up.

 

AcNl7dX.jpg

The young midfielder snatching a sneaky 20 assists, deserves the top assist-er award this year, with some great games as well.

 

Manager information:

Untouchable lads, way too in my game right now, taking every single thing by storm! Time to focus on Champion's League boys, we have a long road ahead of ourselves.

Anyways guys, that is all, I hope you enjoyed the read. Spoiler on season 2: I might have overwritten it when I went ahead to season 3, so I need to post what I salvaged, won't happen again though! And as always, thanks for reading.

Great start despite the many transfer market activities.

Also curious to know if in 3-5 seasons from now the Welsh national team will benefit from the development of your all-Welsh squad. I would think so.

 

KIU!

I would think so Bati, it's just that the board refuse to get past adequate, I just hope it improves in the future.

Hopefully you will be able to earn sugar daddy in game if you keep up results like that! If you stockpile Board Member Acknowledgements, then you should be able to get your facilities up. Jordan Smith looks one hell of a player though! Would gladly have him at L1 level!

KIU

I hope in this save as BG said if you start performing really well, you will start producing some great young Welsh talent an we can see Wales lift a cup of some sort!

BALA TOWN - The Bala....

 

So yes, I accidentally overwrote the save of season 2 when I went ahead, but I've taken some screenshots of what I managed to get, so I apologize in advance and actually try not to save over the it again. I believe this is the second time I've done this, but anyways:

 

The Season 2 squad:

TjNXf9z.jpg

wSI7HG6.jpg

 

Some fantastic players there such as.....none. Okay, my squad is decent but not European decent, it is only amazing in the Welsh league, but I think that I can get further. Some key players I've noted is Nagi with his 16 finishing, movement, and dribbling, and he will play in an advanced forward role, as well as Dix, who has 15 passing which is deadly in the Welsh league.

 

The Formation:

esNoTNm.jpg

 

As you can see, I'm using the same formation I used last season with a 4-3-3, except now it is not called the Pancake, it is apparently called the Cupcake, I don't know what is wrong with me. But what changed is that the center backs are now BPDs while one of the FCs are ADF.

 

League and Almost Cup results?:

7u6zt53.jpg

 

Dominated the league, TNS are no longer the powerhouses of Wales, so I think that's one objective complete :D. Anyways, we won it with a very respectable amount of points..I take that back, I destroyed the league!

 

Vd3Ua5U.jpg

 

New FMHVibe record for most league goals scored in a season? Bati, can you check this for me?

 

4ohelK7.jpg

 

The Welsh cup....we won it again, it was a very easy run which included an 11-0 win against one of the lower league teams. I believe the score here was 5-2 to the might Bala Boys!

 

QO9mGsa.jpg

 

Yet again, we beat TNS to another trophy to complete our second domestic treble I believe with a 2-1 score I think. But anyways, it has been a good season and we smashed it!

 

Player awards:

URUVFff.jpg

9vGFKlM.jpg

 

60 in 43!! Some amazing stats right there, too bad he might not stay in Bala any much longer, I'm thinking of getting a younger striker to replace him, but the new one might not be as consistent!

 

ggfXoAA.jpg

-------

RcF1lRl.jpg

 

Tom Dix getting top assist-er both in the club and league! 32 in 39 games is a very respectable achievement for this relatively young lad, I hope he keeps this assisting frenzy up.

 

Manager Information:

WnKA3RB.jpg

 

Oh yeah, that's right, Europe. We lost to an Estonian team I believe 6-2 on aggregate? Shame but we fought hard in both legs and we couldn't deliver. As you can see, I've won the manager of the month award almost every month this season as well as the manager of the year award :D. A very nice record there with only 4 losses, seems like I've created the best Welsh team in the Welsh league, I just need some better ones!

 

League rankings:

gnmCK0p.jpg

 

Still the 65th best league in Europe. It's a shame really because our star players want to move on to better and more reputable clubs, but that won't faze me! Let's all hope that it will increase, if it ever will.

 

Okay, that is all for right now. I will post a half season report next time, but I apologize again for overwriting my save but I still hope you enjoyed. And as always, thanks for reading.

Europe's still out of your league (for now) but you're killing it in Wales.

 

As for your 142 team goals, incredible! The current record is..was.. 141 (Celtic - Billy2shots) so you nicked it by a single goal. Congrats Dragon. I'll update the Book of Records soon.

 

KIU!

@Andeva - Thanks, I just need some more quality players, they might have some decent technical stats, but physical stats such as stamina is just poor.

BALA TOWN - The Bala Beginning?

 

Yes, I'm very creative with titles, I spend half of my time thinking about the title I would put on my updates. Half of that sentence was true, but anyways I walked into my office, with a beautiful 25 point gap ahead of TNS, and we just played our 23rd game so I was waiting for our 24th game. Then I turn on the computer and the headlines read...."Bala Continue to Dominate but Press Question Dragon's Transfers". 

 

Anyways, let's head over to our transfer records, and see what I have picked up during the summer:

 

Transfers

EFTNo5E.jpg

 

As you can see, I have added four players to my ranks in Edwards, Jones, Thomas, and op Gareth, but I regret signing one of them: op Gareth. Granted, he was reported to be better than my current midfielders and I set him to take penalties but he never really performed and missed a couple. The other ones were all front men and did a fantastic job too, especially that Edwards kid, six English clubs were interested in him when I signed him, lucky for me I guess!

 

HDFHJjE.jpg

 

TJ Nagi has left, I've sold him to Bangor for 3K because I wanted to instill some youngsters like Edwards and Thomas into the side. The other ones left on freebies because they simply weren't good enough.

 

dQyJtQJ.jpg

 

Some future transfers to come, but I don't remember much about them except that they were all defenders.

 

End Squad

prtGsPu.jpg

------

GRK3Rpi.jpg

 

Strong squad overall but we lack one thing: Depth. So I will be looking to improve on that especially the full backs as there are simple not enough, because Pejic always plays at that right-back role, hopefully Ben steps up to the plate.

 

Formation

Tq4gMQg.jpg

 

The same 4-3-3, no changes in this department.

 

League and Cups

u6S5GOk.jpg

 

We won it again! 139 goals this time, so close to smashing my record again! But anyways, a healthy 39 points over TNS, smashed it again the third season :D

 

Welsh Premier League Cup

yg68QOr.jpg

 

4-0, an easy ride in the WPLC and we end it with a dominant performance as we shut out Rhyl and kept them from scoring with only 2 shots coming from them. Looks like I might get another treble?

 

Welsh Cup

qcniAwv.jpg

 

Nope, we lose in the Welsh cup as we get 1 goal in 6 shots on target and they get 1 with 4 shots on target. To add salt to the wound, Liam Thomas misses the second penalty and they score theirs to send us out of the Welsh Cup. Bitter about this result, they didn't perform enough!  :angry:

 

Europe

97fQSvB.jpg

 

Woohoo, yeah! Europe is so much fun! <-That sentence is false :P  Anyways, Stromgodset send us crashing out of the Europe dream with a 6-2 score on aggregate. I'm surprised Odegaard didn't score.

 

Star Player(s)

DQqE5Rv.jpg

------

G0UT4Rf.jpg

 

Coming from a low league side that we might have beaten 11-0 one time :P, he really has stepped up to the plate and upped his performances as he grabs top goal scorer and assist-er in Wales. If only we had a whole squad of him!

 

Manager Info

R33eEPv.jpg

u3v0g5U.jpg

snjJK3m.jpg

 

I DIDN'T GET THE TREBLE, it annoys me to this day. But anyways, I'm too good for this :D. I need a team of Boundfords or Jones in my ranks, we might have a chance in Europe then :P

 

League

PTU1VpD.jpg

 

Still 85th best league, forget what I said (65th) last update, because I did not pay much attention, but I hope we improve that.

 

Squad Stats

There we go lads, that is season 3 of the Welsh Way out of the way....But anyways, we have indeed been doing well and thanks for all the support. Sorry for the teddy bear, I forget to remove the icons from FB messenger while taking screenshots :P. And as always, thanks for reading.

Welcome to season 4 of The Welsh Way! In this season, we are......I'll just post it.

 

BALA TOWN - The Bala Domination??

vbfSRdU.jpg

 

Some decent transfers there, but the loss of Edwards is very bad for us, as he is basically the goal scoring machine of our team, hopefully we can meet at another time. But the transfers in were composed of defenders and a midfielder in Warton who is pretty good for the league, but I don't know about Europe.

 

KkoRFxw.png

YGAsgto.jpg

tRGzQZP.jpg

 

An eh kind of team for me, I think I need some better players, but the quality that is available to me right now is aggravating. We need better talent, TNS, Haverford, Port Talbot, create some good regens so we can get some fame for Wales!

 

GAjmJml.png

 

 

A tweaked version of Piggers' 4-3-3 formation, except for the fact that the FL is a inside forward and the FCs are a ADF and PCR combo. I named this one the Bacon because it obviously made sense to me.

 

ayxGIsJ.png

1YvIerl.jpg

 

Dominated the Welsh league as usual with a clean 38 point lead over TNS, we have an easy ride in the league that I'm tired of seeing goals scored now :P

 

Welsh Premier League Cup

LWmySJf.jpg

 

Two trophies, no surprises here as we basically beat Bangor City senseless, but I'm surprised we didn't get as much goals as I wanted.

 

Welsh Cup

u9Y6Nz7.jpg

 

Too easy, that's all.

 

EUROPE

YSElcyV.jpg

 

We got to the group stages of the EURO cup as we knocked out some big name teams on the way, but we finished last as Legia snake their way past us with being 1 point ahead of us, come on! But it was a decent run in Europe considering our standard, let's hope we can do it again!

 

Here's a special mention for Billy:

KjqjNQN.jpg

 

lDAbNJu.png

QrW5HwK.jpg

wP8HLis.jpg

 

62 goals in a season, my god, that's a new Bala Town record, Boundford is an absolute legend, much respect for him, I actually buy him in every Welsh team I manage. Plus, Liam Thomas pops in with 23 assists, not that much but good enough.

 

8wkeANi.png

u3d490G.jpg

H1k3P1M.jpg

QIO70xx.jpg

 

The manager awards keep coming and the cups keep rolling in, we might need to get a bigger room for our trophies soon, the small cabinet is filling up!

k9EfXut.jpg

Mj8tvrJ.jpg
 

Still the 85th best league, can we even improve? But Mexico, Austria, and CYPRUS enter the top 20 best leagues.

 

Here are some former players:

Anyways guys that is it for season 4, I hope you enjoyed my new titles and subtitles. Leave comments and suggestions down below, they are always appreciated, and as always, thanks for reading.

Great going mate. Your players are posting some good numbers.

It's going to take a while to build up a decent enough squad to compete in Europe.

Not going to mention the Celtic result
