trh217 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I have always enjoyed starting unemployed on FM, with automatic experience, except with FM2009 there aren't any clubs that offer you a job in the european leagues! Is it just me that thinks this is a little annoying? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Set up more lower leagues. I got a job in the 2nd Division in Sweden very quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peljam Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 As has been mentioned, how many leagues do you have loaded, to what level and what is your past experience? If you don't have a good reputation and only have a few jobs to compete for then it's going to take a while to get a job. If however there are more potential jobs you have a better chance of being given one (less competition). Likewise higher rep means you have a better chance because whilst there might be a lot of competition you can beat them. The reputation of the league, or the teams in them, matters as well. It's going to be more difficult to get a job in the bigger leagues of England, Italy and Spain compared to Wales. N.Ireland and Sweden. I use unemployed and automatic/Sunday League footballer past experience a lot and I've never had a real problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoIfsong Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Looking outside Europe at the start could be fun, this is what happened to me: Automatic experience with 19 leagues loaded. Got the Iran national manager job when even league 1 clubs refused to hire me Took Iran to quater final in World Cup and moved from 'unknown manager' to continental reputation; then got offered the Brazil national manager position Sacked by Brazil FA after 1 loss and 1 draw in Copa America group stage Got hired by 1860 Munic and reputation lowered from continental to 'national'. Good thing is I can now speak Persian, Portugese and German. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoIfsong Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 What does automatic experience acutaloly mean? I think it gives you enough experience to get a job in the lowest league loaded(playable). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socdk Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Just have some patience and eventually a few jobs will show up. I'm currently running a save game started as Unemp... Some great opportunities and nice clubs laughed at me (f*** them) for showing interest, but around start December Levante offered me a deal. I gladly took the job as I figured offers would be scarce and Levante could prove a good stepping stone into Primera Division. Shortly after (within days) I got an offer from Hannover in the Bundesliga. It would've been a bit more exciting player- and economy wise, but since I'm such a reality-freak I couldn't just break my new contract. I'm good people Hopefully we can succeed at the first stab, but with 13 points up to promotion it can get tough. Still 18 games to go though so hopes are up! I love playing this way. It's much more satisfying to fight a little and work your way to glory. (I know I know you can go a lot lower than Levante but... Meh) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
William.Hua Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Just start your game with some lower leagues. And you can "Go on holiday" with option "Apply for jobs" & "Return from holiday when offered a job" checked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkim Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I started my game unemployed with automatic reputation as well, and I've had a fair amount of job offers from European leagues (lower leagues, ofcourse). I have about 15 leagues loaded. Maybe you're game doesn't like you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonzii Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I started unemployed. You really need all the lower tiers loaded if you start on auto experience or you will struggle. I only got offers from Swedish 2nd div and english Blue Square N/S teams from about the 15 different countries I have loaded. Really enjoying the Swedish lower leagues by the way.

Kewell08 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I know this has been comprehensively answered, but I figured out the problem: it's to do with the settings for applying for jobs. You can't set it to "Lower League clubs" because that actually means clubs lower than your current one, which is none because you don't have a club. You have to set it to one of the other options.
