Our form across the last three months drastically picked up with the shift to the new tactical approach. Could we maintain that over the course of the rest of the season though? Have a read on to find out how we did in my second season in charge of Vitória on FM19. Continue reading “Sempre Vitória | Season Two | Three”
Season two didn’t start well, but things were starting to look up. A revamped tactical approach had seen form begin to pick up and a run of results put together towards the end of the last post. Could we continue that form throughout December and January? We’ve got a fair few matches to play… Continue reading “Sempre Vitória | Season Two | Two”
The start to competitive football in season two hasn’t been positive. We’ve struggled for consistency and really struggled to create meaningful goalscoring chances. At the time of starting to write this post, at the end of October 2019 in-game, we’re languishing in the bottom half of the league on nine points from eight matches.

Continue reading “Sempre Vitória | Season One | Five”
I’m so glad January is over. What an absolutely abysmal month it was for us. It included a 3-1 league defeat against our rivals and being knocked out of both domestic cup competitions, falling short against Nacional in the Taca de Portugal 6th round (quarter final) and the semi final of the Taca da Liga against Porto.
This post has a tactical tweak, more player signings and our best month of the season so far. What a treat. Read on! Continue reading “Sempre Vitória | Season One | Four”
The season is flying by and I’m loving managing Vitória on FM19 so far…
