Guess the past 17 games don't count 😂

I saw he was available and interested...worth it right?

Readability of the 2D match engine will forever top the 3D. 2D Match and 3D highlights is the way for me
for many years.

Context

Antoni Ptak famously declared midway through the 2005/2006 season: "Pogoń will be Brazilian or nothing at all." In a short time, over 30 Brazilian players have passed through the club

The owner's son, Dawid Ptak, was responsible for transfers. While living in Brazil, he sent anyone who could kick a ball with relative ease to Poland. Legend has it that the squad included, among others, a professional tie salesman and an amateur bricklayer.

How to Play this werid Challenge

1. Starting Game Settings * Database: Select a large database and add all Brazilian leagues (at least as read-only) to have thousands of Brazilian players in the game. Attribute Masking: Enable the Attribute Masking option – you must sign players based on scouting reports rather than immediately seeing their full stats

2. Iron Rules of Career (Bird Rules) Match Lineup: You must include 10 Brazilian players in your starting eleven (one foreigner from another country in goal is allowed)

Transfers: You can only buy and loan players with Brazilian citizenship. Polish Players in the Team: You must put all Polish players in the first team on the transfer list in the first transfer window.

Academy immediately release or sell any junior player from the annual intake (Youth Intake) for any amount

3. First Transfer Window Plan Put Pogoń's Polish core up for sale: Get rid of key Polish players to raise funds for wages and transfers.

Send scouts to South America: Set the filter to Brazil. Search for players without a club (Free Agents) and those with expiring contracts.

Search for players from lower Brazilian leagues (Série C, Série D, or state leagues).

Loans: Search the reserves of major Serie A clubs (Flamengo, Palmeiras, Santos, São Paulo) and loan out young players with the option of paying a minimum portion of their wages.

4. Tactics and Team Management

Playing Style: Establish a high tempo, short passing, and great tactical freedom (Be More Expressive). Pogoń's Brazilian team was expected to play technically and spectacularly.

Morale and Atmosphere: Bringing in players who speak the same language will quickly create a separate social group in the Group Dynamics tab – use this to quickly boost morale.

I had to wait the whole season to end only then it happened. They gone into admin, docked 9 points and transfer embargo placed.

So some mistakes were made trying to get them into administration. For reference I use Pound sterling for my save.

- put their balance to -1bil
- removed sugar daddy
- reduced their rep from 8k+ to 1500 (current rep is at 1446)
- made their stadium and facilities at 5/20, stadium currently sits at 15(repaired??)
- removed all sponsors (adjust kit sponsor value to 30k when it comes back)
- gave them x5 1bil loans with 1 year to repay at 84m + 3.2m interest p/m (this is where I made the mistake)
- put 4 of their players on 3.5m p/w wages

so the entire 26/27 season the board kept injecting 100m here, 300m there.. and their income was hovering around 515m which made me so confused. So I realize the loans was keeping them afloat. Removed all their loans, did that thing with player wages (was already March when I realized this) and kabooms, 2nd game into 27/28 season they are in big trouble.

Oh and of all the 1st team players they have in RL the only players remaining are Enzo, Guehi, Nunes, Nico O'Reilly, Ait Nouri, Kovacic, Echeverri, and N'Diaye. All of which are on the transfer list or requested transfer except for Echeverri and Ait Nouri. Loyal bois?? haha

Oh and I adjusted the wages back to original or those players might be impossible to be sold? I have no idea. Also pretty much every new month previous season I'd go back and make it -1bil balance if needed.

I personally raided their many high PA youth team, sighed Nypan for 2.4m and Gigi for 45m. Oh and I renamed their stadium to "114 Cheat Stadium"
