Due to my own incompetence, I had to restart this save from the very beginning. Which means back to the fourth tier of Yugoslav football and back to our bare bones. But this time, I will be documenting my progress from the get go instead of last time where I was already in the First League by the time I started a topic here. So lets jump in.
In case you are coming here for the first time, Borac is a Yugoslavian semi-pro club, located in Bosanski Šamac, competing in one of the six 4th tier leagues in the Yugoslav Reunited database. This club holds a special place in my heart as two of my family members used to play for them years ago. Now it is my duty to take this club up to the very top of world football. So, 100 years after Borac Šamac was founded, I took charge.
For this particular save, I have two other databases loaded for added flavor. Here's my setup:
I might do a save in the Soviet Union at a later date, but for now, I will stick with Yugoslavia.
Borac in the first season (predicted 4th originally, now Evens for 1st) of the save plays in the Premijer Liga Bosne, which covers clubs in the Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Here are the rules:
Anyway, here are the summer transfers. There are a lot of them due to the relatively lack of depth in the team and generally bringing in very good players. Another interesting thing of note is that Borac holds a loan affiliation with Jedinstvo Crkvina, who play in the 7th tier.
If you have any questions about a particular player, don't hesitate to replay below and I will provide answers including screenshots as well.
As stated in the league rules, there are 44 matches to be played and now we have reached the 11 match mark, a quarter of the way through. Here's the results:
What an excellent start to the season! The teams to take note of as our title rivals are Budućnost Banovici and Zvijezda 09, although as of now, Leotar and Sloga Doboj have also started pretty well. Our team has so far smashed everyone in its path except Leotar, who we could only draw in frustration. Still, I expect this to be a walk in the park. Here's the current league table:
We are eight points clear of our closest competitor, so hopefully we can build on this on our bid for the title and subsequently promotion. Our cup run has been easy so far, as we had only run into 10th tier sides so far.
Thanks for reading the first part of season 1 with Borac Šamac. I plan to divide each season into four parts: Part 1 with summer transfers and all fixtures up to September, Part 2 with winter transfers and all fixtures from September to the end of February (the end of the Yugoslav winter transfer window), Part 3 with the remaining fixtures and the end of season player review, and Part 4 with results from around Yugoslavia, Europe, and major international competitions (if applicable). Stay tuned for Part 2 of Season #1.
