Sorry, completely missed this! Would like to carry on as Brazil and Brazil U21 manager if possible please. Also, if Germany and Germany U21 are free, wouldn't mind managing them on top please as well, only if no-one else is interested though. Brazil teams for sure though as I've put a bit of effort into them recently.

Thanks, sorry this wasn't on my turn sheet!

I missed this totally this week as well! I’ll stick with France for another year if that’s ok?

For anyone interested , i have given up Belgium and France U21's

Would love France U21 for sure, more so than Germany! Maybe both u21 sides or would that be a conflict of interests managing Brazil u21 as well?

Think you can only have 1 U21 side. But not sure.

The last page of your turn for your Parent club has the International Team Availability report and fully explains the guidelines for choosing International sides for the season. It looks like this :-

INTERNATIONAL TEAM AVAILABILITY
You may pick one team from each competition.
SHOW PRIORITY where applicable 1=TOP priority.
Each teams costs £5 for the season, payable upfront.
On week 18 Prize money is awarded to your parent club at a rate of £1m per
international week you have paid for plus any bonuses or special offers.
Income from any friendlies you play with your international sides is
also paid to your parent club on a week by week basis.
Previous results will NOT be taken into account when deciding managers.
However consideration will be given to current managers who request
International Friendlies on a regular basis to build up their teams.
Where two or more players apply for the same job with the same priority
I will put their names into a hat and draw a successful candidate that way.
* = Protected = Managers who may choose to stay with their current club.
* = Managers who have paid for at least 9 international friendly games.

Data entry has started...

No worries, both Brazil is great thanks

CHELSEA

We start the season as we finished the last with an Away trip to Charlton , they do not come much tougher and with both teams at full stamina this time around Chelsea will do well to come away with anything and would be happy to take a point.

The starting eleven is as it was at the end of last season with only Tomori and Broja coming back from loans to take places on the bench

The manager has decided after last seasons Cup Winners Cup triumph to exercise the demons of the seasons prevoius defeat in the final to Southampton that the side are now ready to join the big boys in the champions cup.

Braga

A new challenge in Portugal for the manager which he does not expect to pull up too many trees with the team probably needing several weeks to settle down and looking to star signing David Alaba to lead the side, the manager still needing reinforcements especially at DY where reliance is currently on two 9090 rated players

This week Braga host Academica where hopefully we can get a win before a daunting trip to Sporting Lisbon next turn.

The team also aim to compete in The Fairs cup but the squad will be stretched.

BATE

Champions Bate start at home to Slutsk in a league they really should win again,with Tomori and Broja returning to Chelsea it will be down to Connor Coady and hopefully new signing Luka Jovic can replace the goals scored by Broja last season.

Said Benrahma and Leandro Trossard come in to eventually be starters once settled as well as giving the squad depth to be able to compete in the intertoto cup as well.

To be fair considering I'm a week behind skills wise after majorly buggering up my training in the first week of pre season, I'll take that lol!

You win one you lose one - I'll take that! Esp the WCC.

Looks like Leverkusen are up for a league fight...and we'll find out this coming week!

Thirty minutes until kickoff at the start of a new season...

Well let's see how we get on! Manager is at the back end of recovering from Covid - so can't take his place on the bench – but has his phone ready to relay instructions from his desk!

The players take their places and the ref blows for the start of the games, good luck to everyone this week, especially Banstead in the Premiership, I think i'm going to need it over the course of the season, despite an easier start this week...

Celtic 0 Partick 1 Soriano freekick.
