arsenal_2111 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hello, and welcome to dafuge's FMH09 Challenge! With permission from dafuge himself, I am recreating the popular dafuge's FM09 Challenge, from the PC version of the game. ------------------------------------------- The Aim The main aim of a dafuge's FMH09 Challenge game is to take a small, virtually unknown club from the lowest leagues of football to become a famous team, known throughout the world for winning competitions both domestic and continental. ------------------------------------------- The Instructions Unfortunately, you can't start a game unemployed on FMH, so instead you will have to take over a club and then resign. If you are playing a game without any updates, I suggest starting as Wrexham, as they are managerless on the game. If you are using a update for the January transfer window, Blackpool, Hartlepool and Barnet are all good choices, as none have managers, so you taking over and leaving won't have an effect on any team. You will then be unemployed. When you are unemployed, go on holiday until the end of the season. By the time you return from holiday the season will be over (or as good as over), and teams will have been relegated from the BSP and promoted from the BSN and the BSS. None of these clubs will have managers, so apply for whichever one takes your fancy and you should get the job. Just incase, I would save just before you apply, so if it doesn't work out you you can reload your game and try to get the job again. ------------------------------------------- The Rules You must not join a new club unless you are sacked from your club. If you are sacked, the only job you can take is one of a team that is promoted come the end of the season. No international management is allowed, until you have completed the challenge. Unlockables must not be used, as they can benefit you significantly and take away the majority of the challenge. Wages that are unrealistic cannot be offered, seeing as there is a bug where the Board let you offer whatever big players want. I will leave it to you to decide what you think is unrealistic, but I hope everyone will try and keep the game realistic. ------------------------------------------- Unfortunately, that is all there is to say, I hope everyone who takes part in this challenge will enjoy it, as I know that many PC FM'ers have for years now! Thanks, and good luck:thup: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 AFC Wimbledon The teams that got promoted on my game were Hampton & Richmond, AFC Wimbledon, AFC Telford and Tamworth. I applied for all of these teams, in case the one I wanted, AFC Wimbledon, rejected me. Luckily, they offered me the job, and I took over. I was given a budget of £1k, although I wasn't planning on spending this. In the summer transfer window I bought in Matthew Oakes on a free transfer, and Peter Bore, Ben Griffiths, Danny Hylton and Alessio Campoli on loan. In addition to this, Will Gill and Chris Mills were both promoted to my academy, Mills looking the better of the two. My main target of the season was to stay up, and to bulk out my squad, as it consisted of just 16 players. The season started better than I thought, though. After 35 games I was in 8th with 55 points. I'll update this come the end of the season:thup: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottc18 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Is it just england you can do this in or any country? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Afaik England is the only league with 5 playable leagues, yeah? What are the other ones? It's better to have a bigger league structure, as it makes it more of a challenge. But I guess, if you want to manage in another country, it would be fine. Just make sure you start as a team that has just been promoted:thup: What country were you thinking of playing in? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottc18 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Italy and spain have got a few leagues so most probably one of them. Ill load the game up soon and choose which one but i might just start in england Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.Dazzle Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Started as AFC Wimbledon and have restricted myself to only signing players that are INTERESTED! Currently doing well in League 1 with a max wage of £1,300. Noticed a few decent young regens start at Southport so managed to sign a couple. Most spent on a player so far has been £30,000 as club finances are still insecure, even after the double promotion. 08/09 - Holiday 09/10 - BSP - 1st 10/11 - League 2 - 1st Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
