The journey continues yet again for Japsterdam Athletic as we were able to finish in the top 4 for the first time in our club's history with a club-record 87 points! We're finally being seen as a serious contender fighting for the promotion to the 5th tier of English football! The top 4 finish also meant that we qualified to the promotion play-offs for the National League (5th tier) for the first time in the club's history! :)))))

The hopes of the Japsterdamian faithfuls were at an all-time high coming into this great opportunity for promotion. However, we had to face Scunthorpe United, an opponent far superior to us (a 62-rated squad compared to our 56-rated squad).

Despite the disparity in quality, we found the net 3 times before Scunthorpe found a consolation goal late into the game, as we caused a 3-1 upset in the quarter-final of the play-offs! Amazing stuff from the lads :)))

After an unlikely victory, we headed into the semi-final where we face AFC Fylde, who finished just 2 points shy of the top of the table and who demolished us 5-0 (Japsterdam Athletic's heaviest defeat) 2 seasons ago, so we were going into this match as underdogs again.

Unfortunately, our defense crumbled faster than a Limp Bizkit made out of Korn, as we concede 4 to them without scoring once. AFC Fylde seem to be our kryptonite once more as our hopes for promotion were utterly shattered. :((( I'm still really happy that our team got this far tho lol

If anybody was wondering about the cups, the draws weren't really kind to us this season when we faced Macclesfield FC in the FA Trophy (the blue cup), a team a division above us, and we did put up a good fight against them by bringing them to penalties with a 2-2 scoreline. We lost 4-3 in the penalty shootout tho.

Then, in the FA Cup (the red tournament), we played against Sutton United, who were in the same division as Macclesfield. We lost to them 4-1 so we better hope for a better draw next season :/

Finally, we broke a lot of club records this season as we signed a 57-rated striker called Greenidge for a club-record fee of 75,000 pounds and R.Robins scored a record 21 goals in a season, completely destroying J.White old record of 14 goals.

(Also, I apologise for not having enough images bc I forgot to take screenshots of the squad :/)

the story continues for the mighty Japsterdam Athletic as we head into the 2027/28 season with a club-record best position with a 9th place finish (as opposed to our 17th place finish last season) with a club-record 73 points in a single season (1st image) , just missing out on the play-offs for promotion to the 5th tier by a measly 5 points :((((( We still smashed our targets to finish mid-table lol

However, I did make a lot of incredible signings to strengthen our squad such as Robins in centre-forward, Sass-Davies in centre-back, and a promising youngster named Cartwright in midfield (who we signed for a club-record fee of 55,000 pounds). We will be aiming for the play-offs next season with these players :)

Our top performers seem to be our centre-forward Lodovica with an average rating of 9.1, our centre-attacking-midfielder Murphy with an average rating of 9.02 and 10 assists, our belgian (mymy not approved) left-back Lawson with an average rating of 7.92, and our striker White with a club-record 14 goals in a season.

I did also expand our iconic Nookie Cookie Ground (Bisc Limpkit?) by 1000 seats, giving it a new stand and a capacity of 5000 people. T.Miller is our GOAT manager whos been here since day 1. We're doing fine on finances and we broke another club record this season with our biggest win, a 5-0 thrashing of Merthyr Town :) Amazing stuff! :)))))

Also, in this game, The Netherlands lost 2-0 to France in the Euros final, so Mymy is holding the entire dutch squad hostage. 1 upvote = 1 prayer for them 🙏 (yes, Im doing the Youtube strategy to get karma on my post)

So we've just finished the second season and Im glad to say that we manged to survive relegation! After being promoted to the 6th tier of England, we survived the fall by finishing 17th in the 2nd season (unfortunately i have no screenshot of it but u guys can trust me on that right?)

So those are fantastic news for japsterdam athletic as we're aiming to finish about mid table (around 10th to 16th out of 24 teams) and we are doing a pretty good job at reaching that goal bc in the 4th image of this post, we can be seen at 10th place about midway trough the 3rd season. About our finances, we're doing fine on them.

Anyways, I've also made some key signings for players in this squad (on image 2) with players such as Lodovica in CF, Burgess in midfield, Murphy in CAM as well S.German, Bonser and Lawson (whos belgian btw) in the squad. Hopefully, they should make us reach our goals

If u guys want me to restart in the dutch league, then let me know

To conclude, I just want to add some extra info so our chairman (owner) is called John Otto Bizkit Allison-Burgers (wonderful name ik), our stadium (on picture 1 and 3) has a capacity of 4000 and is called the Nookie Cookie Ground (rolls off the tongue), our manager is T.Miller (picture 1) and has been here since the start and our top goal scorer in a season is A.Yearwood, a CAM with 13 goals (image 5). Fantastic!

in the first season, we won the 7th tier of england (ik i shouldve started in the netherlands but i chose to start in england cuz theres 7 tiers there while the netherlands only has 2 so this should make it more entertaining but if u guys want me to restart in the dutch league, let me know)

we re currently battling relegation in the national league north, the 6th tier of england so hopefully, we survive the drop back to the 7th tier to stay in the league

anyways, when each season ends, i ll make a post like this to provide updates

also, could a mod please tell me if this is on topic or not? thank you in advance
