A couple weeks ago, my computer had a dump and I lost almost a whole month of game time in my Gibraltar because of when the game would autosave. I didn't feel like going back and playing through it all again, and the beta was out for 16, so I decided to go ahead and pick it up. I didn't want to get my save started in the beta just because I'm weird so now that the game is out of beta, here we go.
I picked Bala because I had a good save with them last year so I know the squad fairly well. Also, the Welsh Premier League is pretty bad, even though there are some awesome Welsh players out there. Bala finshed 2nd in the league last season qualifying for the Europa League (if I'd have realized that when I started the game I'd have played them) it was their first time in continental competition and... well, they lost 3-1 on aggregate with a 1-1 draw at home helping out the finances.
Tactic-wise, I'm going strikerless. Its something I've always enjoyed doing, and couldn't do in Gibraltar because I couldn't adjust pitch size due to every team using the same stadium. This is going to be our main tactic going forward.
We've looked good in preseason, with three 3-0 wins, and a 3-2 win. The guys are starting to gel, I'm just hoping guys like Kieran Smith and Meilir Williams grow into their roles. Smith has all the skills to be a great inside forward, he just needs to get comfortable.
I've only guy I've brought in so far is Declan Carroll, who looked a lot better when I was scouting him, but still should be an acceptable backup for the attacking mids.
Our best player and captain is Mark Jones. The CAM makes some brilliant passes and can score from range.
