We're level 60 now... A legend retires and we aim for top of the server
Wow another year is gone...
So I just wanted to write another chapter here. 2 seasons ago I found the top of my server, which is currently level 66 at the time I'm writing this. I'm level 60. So my big goal is to catch up there. As the guys stay the same level every 3 seasons, it should take me 18 more months to get there, if I get promoted every season, which is the main target of course.
Hopefully with the server mixing going on tomorrow, when the new season begins, we don't end up on another server with like 75+ levels. This would hurt my motivation I think... Don't know if only server end guys get rotated or many other players as well. We'll see.
So the reason I'm writing this post, is to force myself yet again to write here more often, on my journey to server end. Oh and a legend of my club got sold today.

You can also see him in the post above, from one year ago. He was 18 years old back then. Which means he was with the club 13 seasons, 12 of those we were getting promoted. Incredible, and only possible by playing a few friendlys the past summer. :D
He still has some great mutant skills, but you know I just don't feel these kind of players anymore. They get outperformed by better overall % players with worse skills. So I trained his replacement last season when he dropped to 5 stars and didn't have a lot of potential anymore being 30 years old...
And yeah, he is also the club record holder for most career goals. Goodbye, Georgi!

Level 68 mid-season Update
So apparently I was not right for once. :D We are still in a CL and cup with mostly lower level guys.
When I think about it, it makes sense as well. Because we didn't really "overtake" a lot of teams just by getting 1 level closer to server end, as there are now more top level players until things normalize themselves in the next 2 seasons. So it's just little steps every season, with every 3 seasons the step feeling big when we get one level closer to the top.
With that being said - we don't have a totally unrealistic possibility to attack for triple crown.

So far we are still unbeaten this season. Which is really a surprise, our team quality is currently only 109% and in the cup we had some strong opposition in the first few rounds, starting it off with our cup final opponent we lost last season. After that our opponents were 120%, 114% and 118% at the time we played them and we got through all of them to now face the 135% one level higher Canton Apollo FC, who is a really good manager and will probably be our last opposition in this tournament. :)
CL group was easy, we topped with 18 points vs weaker teams and won the first knockout game 4-1 as well. Next round, if we make it, which we should, will also be tough there.
League we are top by 6 points after 13 games, with 11 W's and 2 draws. Again 6 rather inactive teams, so promotion is guaranteed anyways. League title is the goal.
Everything else, including our season review will come at the end of the season... :) When we have again low cup and CL next season, I will probably make an ambitious push for my first triple crown, as I will then have also many young players in the squad. But we'll see.
