❌❌❌Rebuilding AJAX❌❌❌
AJAX are looking for ways to come out of the hole they've essentially dug themselves. It seems a lifetime ago but just over two years ago in February 2022, Ajax was on the peak of its powers...
Forum Discussion
Still a bit of daylight between Ajax and the top 2, but recent form will leave everyone optimistic still tho with AZ hot on heels it could be tight all the way
Finally a win in Europe! Good to see, now only trailing 2 points for the automatic progression to the Round of 16. Well done after 1-1 at half time. What's going on with FC Midtjylland in this game? They had a similar start in my save, though they did fall off a bit later on...
Best update of the game! Ajax-mascotte Lucky is in the game and he occasionally celebrates a goal with the players (see last Europa League-game)

Ha, what a nice detail. I'm a big sucker for everything lifelike. The more the better.
Good form of late and another win in Europe. Seems you're doing better than the Ajax in my save.

Yes, but they've been against the lesser gods of the game. Sociedad and AZ Alkmaar are features that are drawing closer, that's a real indicator of where things stand.
Good on you getting the wins from those two must-win games. Now comes the real test, as you say. Looking forward to see how you come out of these games. Good stuff.
A good run of games even if as you say not all the top sides, but they are the must win games and tend to be banana skin risks. Set back against Sociedad but not a disaster.
I can almost feel that Sociedad defeat myself. Equalizing, then falling behind 2-1 shortly after. Having an opponent sent off, creating a late push for a point away from home, only to concede in the other end in the dying minutes. Always awful to concede when you have more players on the pitch.
Good luck with the transfer window. In my opinion that's where the most interesting part of Career Mode lies. I look forward to see how you'll approach it.

Exactly how it went. We drew even, they pulled ahead after that. We got ever closer to an equalizer, especially after the sending off for them, but finally exhausted and error prone we received the killing blow in the dying minute.
In truth it was a very even fight, but this team does not have the quality (yet) to sit back, control the game and routinely create a two or three goal margin, or play for a point against a bigger team. It really needs to go all out every time, sometimes against smaller teams too. The games against Go Ahead Eagles (6-0) and AZ Alkmaar (3-1) were exceptions until now, but that is what is supposed to become the norm.
Was gonna comment on the fine scoring form for Brønby, but then to see he's gonna be out of action for a while could be damaging for the side. Hopefully someone steps up into his shoes and the goals and wins keep coming.

Chuba Akpom (ex-M'boro) scores relatively easy, however he's not the classical target player that you need in a traditional 4-3-3. I might revert back to the 4-3-1-2 I used for a while, but I would like a game where I can try out safely. Feyenoord, or Europa League deciders are games that have to much at stake to experiment.
...and the Team of the Eredivisie at Winter Break...

Almost spilled my coffee there. Fine scoring form for Brøndby? Did I miss something, or was it the wrong thread? Then I realized he meant Brobbey, heh...
Too bad losing him, agree with that. And too bad only getting a draw vs Lazio, who were down to 9 men! Being side by side with them in the Europa League, a win in that particular game would have been great for you.
League form is incredible, you almost seem to be unstoppable with only 4 points up now.
Question about your team of the fall. Did the game suggest these players, or did you pick them yourself, using their performances in the process?
I noticed Luuk de Jong being included with 12 goals, whilst Brian Brobbey misses it despite 19 goals. Any reason why?
