#2 Rookie Season [Now Open to S18 Players]
Career Task 1


Nikolai Ahmed’s debut season with Seoul Mythic in the minor league was a mix of promise and inconsistency, reflecting the challenges of adapting from academy to minor league football. In 17 appearances, the Swedish midfielder contributed 1 goal and 6 assists, directly assisting nearly 20% of the team’s 32 goals over the season. His crisp passing, highlighted by an impressive 87% pass accuracy, made him a reliable distributor in midfield, often linking defense and attack. However, while Ahmed had moments of brilliance, many of his games were average, lacking the consistent impact expected from a playmaker in his role. His overall performances earned him an average rating of 7.09, reflecting a season where potential occasionally shone through inconsistency.

Seoul Mythic, expected to finish mid-table or even in the bottom half of the standings, shocked everyone by finishing in the top half and competing for the title for much of the season. While Ahmed contributed to this unexpected success, assisting in key moments and delivering decisive passes under pressure, his influence was not as consistent as it could have been. Some matches saw him struggle to assert himself, particularly against more physically dominant opponents or in games where the team was under significant pressure.

Despite these challenges, Ahmed’s contributions were critical in several close games, and his six assists were often pivotal to the team’s success. His ability to deliver precise passes, particularly in the final third, showed glimpses of his potential as a creative force. However, to take the next step in his development, Ahmed will need to work on his consistency and ability to impact games over 90 minutes. While his debut season revealed areas for improvement, it also laid a solid foundation for growth as he looks to become a more integral part of the team in the future.

-- Rookie Clarke --
After ending her rookie season, it's safe to assume that Zoe will be more or less different from her father, progression wise. While her father was a dominating core to the start of the SSL, she was going to be the next in line who was a dominating force in this lineage of "first" players. While she was chosen by SFV, she's played the her rookie season in the SSL Minors for their affiliate team in Montreal. It was closer to the United States, which she slightly appreciated since it meant she'd get to see more of the States outside of the pictures and stories her father would tell.
Upon joining the team's practice flow, she got straight to the point and improved herself immensely. Maybe not on the mental health spectrum, but definitely with the skills she possessed, practicing every day, of every hour. Maybe not every hour, but a lot of hours. Joining a highly rated team in Montreal United, she'd integrate and become the team's developing playmaker and defensive wingback. With a total score of 6.98, there's definitely a lot to like about her game.
Firstly, as mentioned before, she shows intense talent on the playmaking side. With Montreal finishing second, about 10 points below North Shore United, she may not have been the most pivotal part of the run, but she had her moments with a goal, 3 assists, and 500+ attempted passes, 88% of which finding their mark. She's not the most glamorous on the pitch, but she's getting up there in talent, as is evident by her 1 goal and 24 key passes in contrast to her 0 goals and 27 key passes. Some look at that and say that she's declining already, however what they fail to realize is that that this is the SSL Minors, when she was previously in the academy. Drops in performance are expected.
With a new season rolling around, some may expect a new and improved Zoe Clarke, though that will remain to be seen.

APPROVED - Nobody beats North Shore in the minors. But things will look up for you in SFV.
