Bottom At Christmas | Season 5 | A Christmas Cracker Of A Relegation Scrap
Big Sam enjoyed a positive fourth season of his Bottom At Christmas experiment, leading an underachieving Köln side to comfortable Bundesliga survival. And that made it 2 survivals, 2 relegations and 1 sacking. But, despite growing fond of the German club, he wasted no time in taking 7 months out of the game and holidaying ahead to Christmas 2027.

It’s time to pay another visit to Nacka’s Yard, as our rise up the Swedish footballing pyramid continues. We were crowned champions of Division 2 Södra Svealand last season, but now we face some much stiffer tests in the Ettan Norra. Surely we can’t get ourselves promoted again… right?

La Resurrección – 4
WE ARE BACK. La Resurrección – the revival of notorious fallen giants Deportivo La Coruña, where we are about to embark on our fourth season at the helm having been promoted in Season 1 before finishing 11th and 3rd respectively in La Liga – be sure to catch up on the first three installments here if you haven’t already. When we last left off, we had somehow managed to sh*thouse our way to a 3rd place finish in La Liga, largely thanks to 24 league goals by €6.75m signing Cameron Archer, along with a few big individual performances from the likes of Luca Lipani and Junior Kroupi. I had spoken on the 5 Star Potential podcast about our dilemma with Lipani – a season long loan from Sassuolo, he was one of our star players and we absolutely needed to activate his €16m permanent option or risk him returning to Italy and seeing his value skyrocket on arrival (already €21m – €28m by the time the season finished). The problem? Our board only gave us €8m to fund our newly-gained Champions League status, with a side that has already overachieved as it is – drastic times call for drastic measures, and considering we operate a Buy Low, Sell High policy here in Galicia, it was time for some wheeling-and-dealing to be done 🛞. Bought for €4.5 million from Hamburg last summer, his 14 assists attracted a €15 million bid from Premier League outfit Leeds Utd, and given we were about three days from Lipani’s loan deal expiring, we had no choice but to accept. A midfield wonderkid who we originally signed from FC Lorient for €11 million just 18 months ago, his 14 goals and 6 assists attracted an all out bidding war between the likes of Chelsea, Juventus and Bayern with the German Champions eventually winning his signature for a fee of €55 million – WE ARE OFFICIALLY RICH PEOPLE. €70 million made in transfers, 100% of which goes straight into our transfer budget and all of which will be needed to build a side capable of competing in the European Champions League for the first time since 2004 – let’s have some fun 🚀. My favourite player of FM24 so far. 5 goals, 7 assists and a 7.38 average rating across all 38 of our league games last season playing in a Carrilero role – we simply had to make his loan signing permanent and €16.25m is exceptional value considering his price literally doubled after we signed him. We badly needed some pace and explosivity on the right side of our front three, and the former Man City and Wolves man comes in for €5.5m from Ajax in what could be a shrewd piece of business at just 23-years-old. Needing some competition for Gianluca Busio at the base of our three-man midfield, we found more good value in the signing of versatile Ryan Flamingo who can play as a Centre-Back or Defensive Midfielder as needed – a great name also, it would be rude not to. Having lost Mikelbrancis, a right-back was badly needed – our search became quite specific, someone who can play both as a wing-back going forward as well as tucking in as a centre-half if and when needed. Our scouts established that 26-year-old Harry Clarke was our best option without breaking the bank, we’ll give him a chance and see if he can match his predecessor’s exploits. This was a big one..our biggest transfer so far in fact. I know we said we operate a Buy Low, Sell High model, but this guy has the potential to be a €100m player in the near future therefore €26m could turn out to be fantastic value for money in hindsight; we badly needed to replace the quality and creativity of Junior Kroupi in midfield, Rego should give us exactly that and at just 22 has all the makings of a star player. We also add winger Adrian Gomez (€5.5m from Athletic Club) and midfielder Jason Knight (Free Transfer) to bolster our squad depth, and with 6 signings made we are ready to embark on Season 4 at Deportivo La Coruña. Squad List 2026/2027 Goalkeepers: Max Weiß, Kauã Santos. Defenders: Koni De Winter, Harry Clarke, Jon Pacheco, Niko Vukančić, Liam Kitching, Alessio Buttaro. Midfielders: Gianluca Busio, Luca Lupani, Ryan Flamingo, Jason Knight, João Rego, Joel Ndala, Luka Stojković, Carlos Borges, Adrián Pérez, Tomas Handel. Forwards: Cameron Archer, Gaetano Oristanio, Guillermo. We couldn’t have asked for too much more in terms of the first half of our league campaign. Barring defeats away to Real Madrid and Valencia, we went pretty much unbeaten and the new permanent midfield partnership of Luca Lipani and Joao Rego looks as good as almost any side in the league bar the obvious two – by the time we reach the end of December, we find ourselves in 4th position after 17 games played, things going far more smoothly than expected! We were handed a relatively tough draw with the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, Inter Milan and Napoli all in our path alongside Club Brugge, Hoffenheim, Dinamo Zagreb and FC Kobenhavn. One feels you’d need to beat at least one of those big 4 to stand a chance at qualifying.. And that’s what we did! We somehow managed to travel to the Emirates and turn over Arsenal in their own back yard, and that along with wins against Brugge and Kobenhavn plus draws with Zagreb and Hofffenheim meant we finished in 20th place in the new Champions League League Phase (love saying that), and after we lost our final league game with defeat to Napoli, who did we go and get in the Knockout Playoff Draw? Well, Napoli of course 🤷. There’s only so much one can do against a side boasting Victor Osimhen, Romelu Lukaku and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in FM24, and though we held them to a respectable 1-1 draw in Naples, they were simply too much for us in the second leg as we capitulated to a 3-0 defeat at home – so ends our return to Champions League football for the first time in 20 years as a club, we’ve had a taste of the big time and would very much like to be here again next season…. For the fourth season in a row we were told of an “excellent” group of players coming through and a real “golden generation” for the club in our annual youth intake; at this point, our Head of Youth Development has mastered the art of copy and paste every year, get that man a pay rise. However, when the list actually came through – dare I say it, we may have finally found our first ever true wonderkid in FM24 – arise, Francisco Valeiro, who apart from standing a measly 5’3″ in height looks like he could well go on to be a world-class wing-back in-game. I mean, look at those attributes 😍. Early exits from the Champions League and Copa Del Rey meant we only had to worry about league matters for our end of season run-in, a good thing too seeing as January and February were an absolute train wreck: The big difference between this season and last season is that we’ve had to become far less reliant on Cameron Archer’s goals; this time last season he had bagged 17 in the league, however by the end of February he had only scored 8 goals (11 in all competitions) which meant that the likes of Lipani, Rego, Stojkovic and Ndala were far more heavily relied upon – not that this is a good thing, but what a difference a prolific striker makes. 25 games in and we have dropped to 7th place in the league – not ideal at all, our Champions League dreams fading rapidly before our eyes. My concern at Archer’s lack of goals led to a slightly panicked January loan signing in the form of Max Moerstedt from Hoffenheim – a 6’5″ meaty striker with great physical attributes and at least one eye for goal. He did very little until a point where we randomly brought him on as a 90th minute substitute against Atletico Madrid, wherein he decided it was time to make a name for himself by scoring a 7 minute hat-trick from the Inside Forward (Left) role – make that make sense? He followed that up with a late winner against Espanyol, and though he did next to f*ck all for the remainder of the season – those two games will forever make him a cult hero at Estadio Municipal de Riazor. Three wins in March were followed up by a disappointing run in April, and as we entered May and the final few games of the season, we faced the inevitable realisation that Champions League football was officially out of our reach – Atletico Madrid’s two games in hand surely enough to ward off any late advances. Three games left to seal 5th place in the league which overall is a fine achievement for a squad of our age and quality. 5th place it is! A place in the Europa League which is arguably far more suitable for a squad of our quality, age and depth especially given our Buy Low, Sell High model and our realistic ability to compete with the biggest fish in Europe. If we can make a few more positive additions to the squad and with a little bit of luck, maybe we can even go on and win the f*cking thing?! Champions League it is then!!! Forget all that Europa League nonsense – Deportivo are BIG TIME ONCE MORE and we march on to the biggest club competition in world football for a second season running 😂. See you there 👌. Feel free to share any thoughts, comments or questions below! 👇👇 We keep on waiting patiently for FM25…
