toonbalmy87 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Basically its similar to Ri916's thread but you have a choice of country where you start in and not just England. so here is a list of League's Available to you [TABLE=class: grid] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]League Reset [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Brazil [/TD] [TD]January 2nd [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Indonesia[/TD] [TD]June 1st [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]S.Korea[/TD] [TD]December 27th [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]South Africa[/TD] [TD]Not Sure on this one [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]China[/TD] [TD]Jnauary 20th [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Malaysia[/TD] [TD]December 14th [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Mexico[/TD] [TD]20th july [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Chile[/TD] [TD]1st january [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Argentina[/TD] [TD]1st August [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Colombia[/TD] [TD]10th January [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Uruguay [/TD] [TD]1st August [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] But which ever Country you start in you have to start at the very last Division Welcome to what is probably one of the hardest challenges in FM. Clubs such as Arsenal, Manchester United and Barcelona have a reputation of bringing through youth. But their filthy rich and have a massive reputation, of course they can bring good players through, right. My question is can a small club bring through youth that has sufficient quality to play for the first team. The only person that can answer that is YOU. Personally, I'm sceptical as to whether it's possible. Prove me Wrong. Ri916's words Thats the Aim of this challenge. And it can be done What You have to do This challenge will take place in around the globe apart from Europe. To start, you have to create a Holiday manager and holiday for a season. I dont want you to download a save already holidayed as general Ca and Pa's of players will already be set (minus Pa's) and will make other peoples games ununique. Similar to dafauge's challenge, you will be taking over a club promoted to the last division in any of the chosen countrys . reputation should be sunday league footballer. With no transfers, you must first stabilise, and then guide you team up the leagues. It will be hard, some might say impossible, but with your managerial brilliance you may stand a chance. National Title [/b]and Continental Champions League and the World Club Cup with your club. any achievement will be recorded although there will not be any points scoring. Tips Save as Much money as possible and try to get facilities improved regulary Dont make it to hard for yourself. pick a team that has a decent squad to give yourself a chance of staying up in the first few seasons. start by using a compact formation that is hard to break down. take care with team talks and dont rush through the game, as you will be relegated. choose a team with decent youth facilities. The Database You can load any other league or players from top clubs ect. but you must load the things above. you should also tick add players to playable teams so your promoted team should have a full squad to start with. Rules No loans or transfers in are allowed but you can sell and loan players out. If you are sacked, you can start with a newly promoted club on the next reset date. No savegame editors are allowed. only cosmetic database edits are allowed. (team/competition names/logos) No international management until completion of challenge. Signing backroom staff is allowed signing players on trial or signing grey players isnt allowed. Rules for this Thread Player naming is allowed. General discussion on tactics is allowed, although people should not refer to downloaded tactics. They are not banned, but I would expect the majority of people to avoid them. Screenshots for anything are encouraged but please post links to your pictures, don't post them as images as it makes the pages slower to load. Posts included embedded images may be deleted without warning. When you join the challenge, could you post a screenshot of your manager's profile on the 24th June. Progress of your club should be documented using this thread, I want to hear the story of your club all the way through. Please keep me updated, even if you are doing really badly. Posts should be seasonal and include screenshots of : Transfers (to prove you aint cheating ),League table, Squad (at end) and of your Youth Intake. Anything else is optional but I would appreciate a screen of the best player in your intake's stats. Also, I would like you to nickname your best player/s of each youth intake in chronological order. for example, nickname your best player in the intake in season 1 as *their name* YP01 How to Post a Screenshot While in FM, press Alt and F9 A picture will be saved to a screenshots folder, in the FM12 folder in your documents Upload the image to an image hosting website such as Photobucket Post the direct Url to the image here. How to Add Links At the top of the forum, go to 'Settings' then 'General Settings' (on the left). At the bottom, select 'enhanced interface' and save the changes. This will give you access to the extra posting tools that make it easier to post links. Once you've done this, highlight the word you wish to turn into a link, then use the link button (looks like a little globe) to paste in the direct Url to your screenshot.

jimbowmanuk Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Might as well give this a try. Off to Malaysia for Scottish Sunday League footballer Jim Bowman. Where he has taken over at Premier League(the 2nd tier in Malaysia behind the Super League) new boys Beverly Kota Kinabalu FC, will be referred to as Beverly from here on in, with the hope of making them the dominant force in Asia using only their youth products. All current under 20's players are greyed out so I can't even use the latest crop. The club is professional but the only staff are the Manager and the Chairman so far and he is looking to leave the club, which could be a blessing as the facilities are poor and a new man might give more funds, the stadium holds 10000 though which may garner more cash. Predicted to finish 12th the club have given me a wage budget of £3.4k and a transfer budget of £0 (although I won't be using it, it may have given an indication of what development funds I may have had).

PRDH Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Good luck to everyone in here. This will be an epic challenge and getting close will be an astonishing achievement. I'm starting something similar (well converting anyway) in the Big Euro Nation Challenge. I've completed the challenge, but am now cutting off any signings (expect those of 15-year-olds in extreme circumstances) and trying to maintain my position as best club in Portugal solely on what I've got and youth products. It could be interesting! Fortunately I've been extremely lucky and have a decent spin already, but still, there's pressure at the top! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbowmanuk Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Beverly - Jimbowmanuk - 2012 League Table Graph Fixtures 1 Fixtures 2 Player Stats A good start to my career in Malaysia, predicted to finish 12th of 12 at the start of the season we looked like relegation candidates getting beat 6-3 in the 1st game but soon the team got things together and a string of lucky results had us sitting 2nd half way through the season. Unfortunately we played the team at the top and got thrashed 7-0 causing morale to crumble. We struggled to pick up points from there but had done enough to secure survival. Finishing 6th in the league is a massive achievement. There is no money at the club at the moment and with only 25 season ticket holders I don't see that improving for a couple of seasons. Although it look likes the youth intake has blessed me with a good player in DM position which desperately needed filled.

Babaginoosh Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Babaginoosh - Brazil - Treze - 2014 Stay up - Accomplished - Promoted in 2013 to Second Division Trim fat - Still working on it Keep the good players - Trying to keep them but they are getting expensive and i have bills to pay Make money - 900k in debt -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I decided to skip an update for the 2012 campaign because nothing really significant happened.I was at the top of the division but i missed promotion by a couple of matches.2013 was a different story though. After the team finally gelled and i changed up the formation that better suited the team and the league they flourished and in the end we won promotion. Season 2013: Fixture 1 Fixture 2 Successful Formation: Completely dominated most of the league with goalscoring after i changed my formation around to a 4-3-3 with 2 dm's and 1 cm with 3 strikers roaming free up top. Results can be seen in fixture links on how well I did in the division. Notable Players: Willian - GK - Stats - One of the reasons why i did so well. I was lucky enough to have a legit GK and saved me many times. Wandes - ST - Stats - Major factor in goal scoring. Played him mostly in a DFL position up front and he produced very well by scoring and feeding his partners. Produced 26 goals, 8 assists and 5 MoM's. Incredible player in this system. Youngsters: Ranieri - DM/MC - My first legitimate youth that i managed to hold on to for 1 season, until the team was in debt and the chairman took control and sold him for 110k last season. Too bad, because he looked good for the second division. Junior - D/WR - Second year intake that will be taking over my captains position in 2 years. He is currently being tutored by him so it should work out pretty well. Heraldo - ST - Third year intake that will be the future. I doubt ill be able to hold on to Wendes so hopefully he can replace him somehow, if not him maybe another striker i have. Aruajo - AMR - Another third year intake that i will be converting into a stiker on the right side of this formation. He should fit in well and take to the position naturally since its a hybrid wing position anyway. Transfers: 2012 - No transfers in, let some dead weight go this go around. 2013 - Major exodus of 3 starting 11 players in order to keep wages down and get some cash in because of our terrible finances. This left me very thin in defense and i have been trying to just maintain until i get a good youth in to plug in. Finances: Board Overview - I was bleeding money from everywhere the first year and left me in a hole for 1m. Second year is when i started selling off players and still managed to gain promotion. Goal for 2014: Stay up Pay down debt Pray for a good youth intake Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkjellander Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 After having stalled out on an run at Ri916's version of this challenge, I was invigorated by the chance to attempt it outside of England. After a few sims, I am tempted by two clubs in Chile and in Argentina. And so it came to be that unknown Danish/American manager Michael Stavnsholt was announced as the surprise choice to take the reins at newly promoted CD Provincial Osorno (henceforth known as simply Osorno): Club Information | Club Facilities | Manager Profile | Manager Information | Squad Overview | Transfers Provincial Osorno is a football club based in Osorno, Los Lagos Region, Chile. They have recently promoted to the Primera B División, the second tier of the Chilean football system. They were previously managed by Manuel Rodriguez Vera, before the appointment of Michael Stavnsholt. Between 1993 and 1998, a period of 6 years, they were continuously members of Chile's top division although they never finished higher than sixth. Until 2009 the club also operated a basketball professional team, Provincial Osorno Basquetbol, They played in the Chilean Basketball Professional League. A quick glance at the squad reveals that we are not a very deep squad, especially in defense and up front. We do have a nice, young squad and some decent talent spread across it. Most of them will end up seeing some playing time I'm sure. I suspect we'll have some trouble fielding a squad in familiar positions as the season takes its toll, unfortunately. If we can make it to the youth intake, we'll hopefully at least get some bodies to plug in for depth. Financially we are looking okay, I think. It's hard to judge from the limited numbers we have available right now, but our salaries are quite well below our budget and only a handful are up for renewal this season. We seem to have a decent number of season ticket holders for our relative minnow status, so hopefully we won't struggle to stay afloat. The season goal is to secure our continued participation in Primera B. The media have us pegged at 3rd, which may be a tall order given our squad shortcomings. I have yet to see the Board's expectations, but hopefully they are more in line with my own than that of the media. Up the Toros! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phuzzlecash Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I lost my PKTM save unfortunately so I was forced to restart as MK Land. MK Land - Malaysian Premier League - Season 2012 League Table - Survived... just. League Graph - In the relegation zone until the very last game... League Fixtures - Finish the season with a 2 game winning streak - yeah boy. Transfers - Not cheating. Player stats - Best rating = Fullback who grabbed 4 assists, all from corners. Malaysia has this rule that means you must at all times have someone under 20 in your starting 11. Sadly the team I inherited did not have any players that young, so every game I was forced to play a greyed out player. That will change next season with: Youth intake 2012 Baharuddin Nazarudin YP1 - The pick of the bunch. Goal for next season: A top-half finish would be nice.

TheGreatTraveler Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Hallway through my fisrt season, it's not looking good for Real sincelejo. Only 6 points from the first 17 games, safety is 6 points away. I really need a good GK in the Intake, my best keeper is rated at 1 star and has cost us over 10 points this season!!!

TheGreatTraveler Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 A dissapointing season ended in Relegation with only 15 points from 34 games, and the sack came for me I holydied till the league reset date to find Rionegro FC had bounced right back up, and I am now their new head coach. Hopefully I can stay clear of Relegation this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
