ssestig Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I will set this up so that when FM09 comes out this friday the challenge can officially begin. This is a follow up to the 20/20 challenge started by Paul Hartman and continued by me and will be finished if people are still interested. http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=46676 Anyone who is new to this basically you have a week to complete a challenge and you will receive points depending on how you do. Anyone can register to take part. I will keep a spreadsheet of how many points everyone is on. The deadline for each challenge will be the following Saturday at midnight ie. Saturday 23.59. Roll of Honour: 2008 - apchivers The Rules: Screenshots must be provided after each challenge, you will be informed when the challenge is set of the ones you need. No 'After league appearances' transfer bonuses are allowed. Only one attempt per challenge per person. Anyone who misses the deadline will incur a 3 point penalty from that week's challenge You must use an official database from SI Good luck to anyone who is taking part.

Guest roberto922 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Isn't the whole point of running the challenges that you do them yourself? Anyway if you want some kind of 'inspiration' the old 20/20 challenge and my CSE European Championships are full of one season challenges. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blowcrapup Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I must be the only person that has no interest in managing Luton. It is proberlies best to get it out of the way though. I'm not going to do this challenge as I'd just get sick of it so just mark me down as -3 points but I will be doing them after this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnefc22 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I am getting the game either today or tomorrow. So, I might skip this challenge and do the next one but if I get my game with plenty of time to spare, I may complete this. But, I have english coursework so probably won't do it.

Davygers Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 So far played 6 friendlys, won 3, drawn 2 and lost 1 to middlesbrough. Sam parkin seems to be my main danger man for the season, being top scorer in those friendlys with 7 goals. Tough part starts now with a home game against Bradford then play ipwsich in the league cup 1st round. Will update when i get half way through the games.

TaylorB Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 15 games in now -15 points just lost the 3 playing well just constantly getting draw after draw. freddie sears, chris martin and sam parkin top scorers with keith keane best player by far, this is a real struggle can see myself getting the sack to be honest.
