Phigam Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I have just completed my first season with Queen's Park in League 2 in Scotland. Frustrating to say the least! As they are amateur, the moment a player shows any sign of promise he is offered a contract by a pro club and off he goes. The result is a constant restocking of the playing staff, making for a constant lack of familiarity amongst players. I am enjoying the frustration:lol: but can't see any way that this club can progress up the leagues. Does anyone have experience of success with this club?

forameuss Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I'm sure I've seen or heard of people taking them to the Premiership. Certainly one of the tougher challenges in Scotland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenzar Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 The AI in my save have got QP to the Championship. Twice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan BHTFC Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I've managed 12 years in the Premiership and also had 2 seasons in the Europe League on FM14, it's usually my Summer save but it is hard to keep your best players, as soon as a pro club come in for them offer them a new non contract, they might accept.

Guest Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 You should even be able to offer them a non-contact deal, might have been a bug or data error on 14 allowing you to do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordieboy52 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 They are hard-coded as an amateur team; their club motto is 'to play for the sake of playing'. True Corinthians. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is really hard to keep your best players The minute you get something going you can guarantee that a contract offer will come in and the player will accept. Even if it's from a team in the same division! Then you have to start building again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavo01 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I had a good 10 seasons with Queen's Park on FM14 and managed to get them to the Championship, albeit for 1 season before the inevitable relegation. You're right, one of the most frustrating challenges on FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Also the purest challenge in FM as you can't through money at a problem & you know once a player can earn a decent wage at another club they are likely to move which just adds to the challenge.

I made sure I had 2 or 3 capable players for each position so I knew when a good player left I had another as back up then I would be scouting again looking for the new back up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrazT Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 It is good to hear how your save is going but it really should be posted in this forum: https://community.sigames.com/forum/60-fm-career-updates/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
