P14 – Binary Brilliance: Tackling CM2 97/98 with an AI Co-Pilot! | @tjmitcham1983

Welcome to the final season, the ultimate odyssey, as Uniao de Lamas finally take a crack at the top flight! The first thing we’re gunna need to do is improve the squad.

First up a certain Liberian regen! The board Weah up the option of signing him, but then try to tempt him with £500 per week. I don’t think that’s gunna cut it! The Cork industry needs a boost so we see some more £££, otherwise recruitment is gunna be impossible!

Hello and welcome back to the Comendador stadium, as little old Uniao de Lamas find themselves top halfway through season four. Miguel and Diogo have been through some very poor second half showings in recent years, so let’s see if they can buck the trend….

First up is the cup tie at Benfica. Our boys have never seen 70,000 fans before, we barely scrape that cumulatively over a season! Despite that we put up a decent showing and only go down by a solitary goal. Integral CDM Cesar is ruled out for three months after a horror tackle, which puts a dampener on our day in the big time.

Welcome back to Lamas FC! Our human and AI co-managers finally have something going, sitting second after six games of season four. Let’s see how things progress…

The first round of the cup gives us a chance to hand debuts to regens Southall and Semedo. Both do just fine as we ease through 3-1.

Hello and welcome to Season Four of the Uniao de Lamas AI-inspired saga. Will it be another season lingering in mid-table obscurity, or can Diogo and Miguel finally secure that promotion? Let’s find out.

To kick things off, we’ve tasked Miguel with setting some objectives for the season. After a bit of deliberation, we’ve settled on promotion as our primary goal. Accompanying that, we aim to integrate two of our promising young talents into the starting XI and stabilize the club’s finances.

Welcome back to part nine of the Uniao de Lamas AI adventure! Despite blowing a load of cork money on half a new squad, Diogo and Miguel have only reached sixth place at halfway in season three. But form is decent, Savio is banging them in like an ex-Real Madrid starlet, and the Comendador’s stadium has been rocking of late. Let’s see if it continues.

First up it’s time for a tweak. Diogo lets Miguel’s AI brain take the reins, and it’s time to pass our opponents into oblivion!

Welcome back to the unpredictable and occasionally amusing realm of human/AI co-managership! We rejoin the action at the outset of season three. The owners, flush with cork-fueled wealth, have finally injected some funds, blessing us with an almost £2m bankroll. It’s high time to overhaul this squad!

However, our newfound financial cushion doesn’t prevent our top players from having release clauses that attract attention from bigger clubs. Our stellar winger, Mbarga, succumbs to the allure of the Dutch demi-giants, Vitesse Arnhem..

Welcome back to Lamas FC! At the midway point of a crucial season where promotion is a must, we currently sit in sixth place. Our recent adoption of an AI-inspired defensive 4-1-4-1 formation has brought about significant success. Goalkeeper Peter Rufai has been amassing clean sheets lately, stacking them up like a laundry!

But we start this week’s update with a dull defeat at home. A pretty even match, but we simply didn’t take our chances.

Hello and welcome back to our unique human/AI management endeavor. The Lamas have amassed only six points from their initial seven games, and Diogo’s patience with our lacklustre defence has run its course.

It’s time for a drastic alteration! Our chances of promotion are dimmed by our continuous defensive lapses. I’ve tasked Miguel with taking the reins of our formation for the first time. Let’s see what innovative approach he brings to the table…
