danielgear Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Following my FM13 save ( http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/320016-FM13-The-Rise-of-the-Rebels!) I had a year off from a career as I couldn't get into a save and just played around it Youth development on FM14. But now i'm back doing a European Journeyman save.This is the setup of leagues I've chosen with a Large DB. I've started as a Tactical manager as I tend to leave my training etc to my assistants.I have started as an Professional Footballer(Regional Level) With a Continental B Licence.I have taken over as manager of Mezokovesd of the Hungarian Merkantil Bank II (2nd Division) My aim is to start here and head to the top of the European game.Hope you guys enjoy it.

danielgear Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Pre-Season 2014-15 Results Transfers Tamas Pales - 32 Year Old right back brings experience to our defence Bence Lenzser - 18 Year Old Centre Back brought in as cover Mate Burkus - 24 Year Old Centre Midfielder to "beef" up our midfield Nobert Sarkozi - 21 Year Old Playmaker brought in to cover Review Played some bigger teams in pre-season so no disgrace. Ended with 1 win and 6 losses and brought in 4 loans to boost the squad as there is no money at all here. Board want a top half finish so fingers crossed. Due to the small squad and lack of players I've had to go for a 5-2-1-2 formation to start with so hoping for mainly 1-0's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I usually manage in England sometimes Italy and Holland. I would like to try some other leagues, Hence the Hungary start. Wouldn't mind heading to Portugal,Greece & Switzerland for a change of pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to have a few injuries to key men aswell so its even better. There's no players in the U21's so long term we need to bring some youth through, even if its just to cover the small squad.

Nottingham Forest Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 That's not good then . But if you don't go up this season then you might not get that chance again.

danielgear Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 2014-15 Season Review Merkantil Bank II 1st - Champions A great season to finish as champions we had a slow start and tried to throw it away near the end but the weirdest tactic I've ever used on FM actually worked. Magyar Kupa 2nd Round Not too bother was actually glad to get out of the cups Magyar Ligakupa 3rd in Group The amount of games for a small squad was shocking so again I was glad to get out. Top Players George Menougong 32 Year old Shadow Striker Top Scorer with 19 goals Top Assists with 16 assists and 6 man of the match performances. A brilliant season. Can he do it again next year at a higher level? Kornel Kulcsar 23 Year old Enganche On loan from Haladas 17 Goals & 9 Assists Going to try and get him back on loan again next season Adam Balajti 24 year old Poacher 13 goals 6 assists He completes my front 3 with the two above and the 3 of them fired us to the title Next Season Club Stay up and go from there Myself Keep raising my profile Overview A great first season in my career a shock title win can't wait to see where we go from here. Only worry is the lack of finances in the club I can't see us having anything to spend to improve the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
