brettney1980 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 The Andorra Double Challenge is almost the same has the San Marino Double challenge for those who have seen/attempted this challenge. Step 1: It's pretty simple really you just have to take control of FC Andorra in the 5th Tier of Spanish football (which i have added a fantasyesq version of) and take them from there to Liga BBVA winning the Title in the process then going on to win the UEFA Champions League. Step 2: Take control of the Andorra national side and get them to qualify for a Major tournament finals (I.E World Cup or European Championships). Optional Extras; 1, Only sign Andorran players for FC Andorra. 2, Only use the players coming through your Youth Academy at FC Andorra signing no players. 3, After winning the Champions League with FC Andorra why not take control of an Andorra based club and win the Champions League with them ... Simple! The Files: Andorran League Spanish Leagues Tier 4 + 5 <10.2 How to set up; Put the above into the following directory My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\Editor Data. Start a 'New Game', and you will asked to choose a database. Tick 'Change', press 'OK', and choose the new leagues Spain down to 5th Tier (Regional Divisions) and Andorran League (Optional). Custom database is recommended adding all Andorran players Attribute masking must be enabled. You are allowed to use fake players if you wish. Create a manager and his reputation must be set at Sunday league footballer, or Automatic if you can't find the Sunday league footballer option. Your manager nationality is up to you. Take over FC Andorra and lead your team eventually to Champions League Glory! .. And finally any questions just ask and Good Luck everyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just copied you and took the Andorra job (didn't think it'd be that easy thought i'd have to build rep up first) albeit a little later than you 30th November so got to wait 6 months for a match.

rancer890 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Nah, they're all crap. We have the same weaknesses at left back and centre back, although I already signed a player to hopefully help us with promotion. Won the 1st league game against Pollenca 4-0.

brettney1980 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 I'm 3rd 3 points off top with 2 games in hand - Theres a few Andorran players not at clubs so to stop them retiring i think i'm going to offer them a life line as it were.

rancer890 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I'm trying to sign the first choice GK for Andorra so he doesn't retire. Koldo will be done soon so I'll need to find a replacement.

brettney1980 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Thats a good result against Kazakhstan, so you could have a shout at finishing above Kazakhstan then if my maths is correct!?

PluckaDuck Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Just thinking, when I do eventually start this, I reckon I'll go with the FIFA 6+5 policy Sepp Blatter wanted to introduce a couple of seasons ago. It allows to keep the club as local and Andorran as possible, while giving the team a great shot at moving up through the leagues quickly if I find the right talent.

rancer890 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 FC Andorra Regional Preferente de Navarra 2009-2010 Media Prediction: 2nd Final Position: 1st Squad Squad GK - Koldo DR - Alex Somoza DC - David Ribolleda DC - Emil Josep Garcia Miramontes DL - Mauro Zanotti DM - Juanma Llamas MC - Txema MC - Ludovic Clemente MC - Xavi Sanchez ST - Joan Carles Toscano ST - Xavier Andorra Transfers Transfers Ferrol Pol is one of the goalkeepers for Andorra and without a club, so I signed him so he wouldn't retire. Josep Manel Ayala is an Andorran right back that previously played for Binefar on an amateur contract, so I signed him. Unfortunately, I signed him after the registration deadline so he didn't play any games, but will be key for next year.

rancer890 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 After reaching the dizzy heights of 156th in the WR, 3 horrible losses against Luxembourg in a friendly (2-0), Hungary (4-0) and Portugal (5-0), we have dropped back to 190th. Nothing to fear though, the next opponent is San Marino! Not doing very well in the Third Division (by my very high standards anyways). 18th after 4 games is not the start I wanted. Still early, but we are somewhat struggling with being able to keep a lead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
