ChelseaDaft Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Chelseadaft Ashford Town (Middx) Season 7 2016/17 - Championship A great achievement for us this season after a nightmare start to the campaign. With my new staduim being built and not ready for another season I had to face a season in the Championship with my 2550 Short Lane stadium and a wage budget of £14,000 per week. Some of the players promoted with me from League One wanted bigger wages than I could really afford so decided to let them go and bring in some better quality players. It took us ages to gel as a side and we struggled early on. We went 8 games without a win and sat bottom of the league as I had to field u18's in the side as at the moment I have no reserve team or youth set up (due to money) so had to use the ones that come through in the summer but as I managed to manipulate the loan market once more to bring in more quality our form picked up and the side found their way in the league. Nothing much else to report apart from the fact that with 6 games remaining we somehow found our way near the playoffs but the last month of the season killed me as I lost players through injury and we lost our momentum. Overall am well pleased we have finished 12th. Was expecting to battle against relegation so well chuffed. When finishing 12th we received the following prize money which put us in credit by exactly that amount. With the three parachute payments of £400k we received at the beginning of the season, its helped to keep us clear from debt for the time being. I then received this message from the board about the staduim!!! (Sorry people forgot to take a screenshot of the squad and finances screen) Here are the players who have helped me stabilise in the league this season. Henderson, Goodwin, Moussi, Edwards, Dickoh, Corderoy, OConnor, Bell, Diallo, Cottrell, Reid, Tawiah, Mokoena, Johansson, Pechart and Morris Luckily enough the injuries didn't affect me till the end of the season!

midgetram Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Canvey Island 2018/19 Report - EPL 6 places to go... Unsurprisingly, being the lowest rep team in the league made our media prediction relegation favourites, with the bookies considering ourselves to be cannon fodder for the rest of the league. Will they ever learn? League - Positions - Two fantasic games to start of our season, beating Newcastle then drawing vs Liverpool, were to be the norm, at least at home. Although, our away games were interesting as we were finding new and imaginative ways to lose games we really should be drawing. Possibly the highlight of the season was knocking off reigning champions Man City at home 4-0, who had been unbeaten up until that point. We were never in danger of falling down the table, as whenever we went had a string of away results (usually ending in defeats), our home games enabled us to maintain our great position. With one game to go we were 2 points off a European spot (which was to go down to 7th due to Arsenal cleaning up the cups), so needing a win with either Sunderland or Villa not picking up a win. So whilst we dominated at home against the new league winners, Sunderland were doing the same to Man Utd. BUT, Villa failed to beat the mighty Hull City, giving us 7th place and an European adventure next season. Cups FA Cup 3rd rd - Canvey Island 4-0 Preston 4th rd - Canvey Island 4-1 Burnley 5th rd - Wolves 1-3 Canvey Island 6th rd - Canvey Island 2-0 Hull Semi Final - Arsenal 3-1 Canvey Island Lucky draws early on, epsecially as EPL sides were only getting knocked out by their counterparts, and a great first 15 mins dispatched Wolves. Hull were no problems for the 2nd stright year, where we got the all-conquering Arsenal squad (apart from their EC final loss). Beaten and outplayed by the better team, no real complaints about it. Carling Cup 2nd rd - Canvey Island 5-3 Brighton 3rd rd - Wigan 2-2 Canvey Island (3-5 pens) 4th rd - Canvey Island 1-3 Everton Brighton game was a wake-up call, especially about how easy they were creating chances against us. I still don't understand how we got through against Wigan, losing 2 defenders is normally the recipe for disaster. Once again though, outplayed by a better side, though we really should've peformed better in front of our own supporters. Squad (1)(2) A large squad, and I'm finding the limitation on squad registration to be particularly annoying, though that might be the fact of limited HG players... Millward's Player Choice Award (basically who I think deserves our Player of the Season before the Fan's vote...) 2010/11 - Luke Thurlbourne MC 2011/12 - Chris Todd DC 2012/13 - Scott Smith DL 2013/14 - Dean Lodge AMR 2014/15 - Dean Hammond MC 2015/16 - Luciano Napoli ST 2016/17 - Borja ST 2017/18 - László Horváth MC 2018/19 - Leonid Gerasimov GK (1)(2) Whilst Horváth won the Premier League Player of the Season award, Gerasimov was the savour in so many games it was not even funny. 2nd in the Young Player of the Season award, and a place in the EPL Team of the Year was totally deserved. A shame that he wants to leave the club now that Barcelona are sniffing around... Transfers - Interesting to see that moving up to the top league has enabled me to keep for more of my squad from last season. Vernon's move away was one of his own doing, comnig under discipline from the club 6 times in 12 months was having too much effect on squad harmony. Again struggling to find free transfers that are better than what I currently have. Finances - It's a strange feeling not to be relying on transfer income to keep the balance sheet looking positive for the season, all of this capable despite having the smallest ground in the league. Confidence - Still seen as untouchable, nothing new here then. History 2010/11 - BSS: 3rd, defeat in playoff semi-finals 2011/12 - BSS: 1st 2012/13 - BSP: 1st 2013/14 - CCL2: 1st 2014/15 - CCL1: 7th 2015/16 - CCL1: 1st 2016/17 - CCC: 8th 2017/18 - CCC: 1st 2018/19 - EPL: 7th The Trophy Cabinet Blue Square South - 2011/12 Blue Square Premier - 2012/13 Coca-Cola League 2 - 2013/14 Coca-Cola League 1 - 2015/16 Coca-Cola Championship - 2017/18 Aims for next season: Sort out the leaky defence, find a way of being more competitve away from home and not embarrasing ourselves in Europe (in order of importance). Though a cup final wouldn't go amiss EDIT: Scrap the smallest ground in the league, a 8927 enlargement is due to take place, along with another improvement of the youth facilites. Good use of the extra finances I think, since I never use it for transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 Tooting & Mitcham United FC - Barclays Premier League - 2055/56 With the new signings this looks like the start of an era of domination for T&M. League Table League Positions Graph We started with 11 straight wins which meant winning the league was just a formality. Community Shield - an easy win. UEFA Super Cup - a great win in a thrilling match. FIFA Club World Cup - another easy win. Carling Cup - the highlight was the semi final as we turned a 1-0 home loss into a 7-1 win. The final was a one sided affair. FA Cup - a simple run and a simple final win. UEFA Champions League - the group stage was strange as we settled for second place. We did well in the knockout rounds but suffered a shock in the final. Squad - goals from everywhere! Transfers - a small loss as we made a few small changes. Key Player Profiles: Miguel Santos - much better than last year. Luis Fernández - another great goal tally for the midfielder. Sebastiano Costacurta - not too many goals, but a great all round contribution. Hasan Aydin - simply awesome. Márcio - backup for Aydin, but a superb player.

GreyedOutMan Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Boreham Wood FC – Coca Cola League Two - 2015/16 After a dismal performance last season, it felt like we had gone back two years. Stability was once again key – although one target I had in mind was to try to beat the 60 point mark and have our best season in League Two. The Playoffs were a distant speck after 2014/15. League Table League Positions Graph But despite that, it was safe to say things still didn’t go as planned. A terrible season, where we rarely even looked like getting wins. Relegation seemed a certainty until the last 10-15 games of the season when we had a big revival and pushed towards safety. After the 41st game, we were off the bottom for the first time since the table began to take shape. It seemed we might just pull off an extremely unlikely survival – we had been well over 10 points adrift earlier in the year. Two wins from the final five games seemed to be shaping up to be the target. But two defeats in the first two of those made it harder, and the third one felt like the end of it, although Rochdale’s defeat left us still only two points off safety, meaning that two wins should still be enough, and even one could be. We beat Stevenage in the penultimate game only for Rochdale to beat playoff-qualified Port Vale! So on the final day we had to win and hope Rochdale lost. When they went 1-0 up at Newport County, it seemed very unlikely that it would be our day, and soon Scunthorpe took the lead, and relegation, bar a miracle, was a certainty. When Rochdale and Scunthorpe both doubled their leads, the dream was over for the Wood. It would have been a miracle for us to have stayed up after the run of 15 games without a win during that season. I’ve never actually been relegated in FM before. Its not fun. The e.on FA Cup – Bolton aren’t in the Premiership, although as I write this they are in the Championship playoffs, and I think this just about counts as a glamour tie for us. The Carling Cup – no disgrace here, Palace riding high and getting promoted to the Championship. The Johnstone’s Paint Trophy – stunning win over MK Dons, and the Oxford game was a bit of disappointment really. They were struggling in League One and ended up relegated. Transfers – a whole load of players left at the start of the season having run their contracts down. And replacing them was more complicated than I thought, mainly because my scouts were all out of contract and had to be replaced. That partly accounts for the major failure this season. Spent January buying with the BSS in mind – decent players who probably wouldn’t sign for me in the conference on 2-3 year contracts. In the end that might have backfired as I don’t know whether they’re really good enough for League Two. Hopefully they will prove me wrong with some quality additions next year. Devitt and Henderson were the pick of the bunch this year in terms of transfers in. Also managed to recoup half a million which helped ease the financial difficulties caused by a large squad of hopeless losers! size] Squad – evidence of a really shocking season here. Too many regulars averaging well under 7 – often under 6.75, which is real relegation material and it’s not really surprising that we’ve gone down after that. Key Player Profiles: Peter Parnaby – Held onto him and without the injuries he suffered this season we would definitely have stayed up as I’m sure he would have won us at least one more game! This season it will be very hard to keep hold of Parnaby because he wants to leave and he has a relegation release clause. However, I don’t think I will get the £450,000 it would take to force my hand, and to be honest even half of that would be really good. Kingsley Woods – loan signing from Grimsby, would have been a big part of the reason we stayed up if we had managed it. Jamie Devitt – impressive number of goals and assists from a winger in a relegated team. Conor Henderson – nothing special but pretty consistent. Records Broken this Season: Highest Scoring Game: 6-4 v Torquay, League Two, 6th January Most Games Without Winning: 15, 1st December to 20th February Highest Transfer Fee Received: £210,000 for Mark Hooper from Bolton Highest Transfer Income: £400,000 Cumulative Records (by current players): EXTENDED: Most League Goals for Boreham Wood: Jamie Robins – now extended to 64 Career Overview [size=2]Season League Position Points Total Achievements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2010/11 Blue Square South 1st 92 Promoted as Champions 2011/12 Blue Square Premier 5th 83 Promoted as Playoff Winners 2012/13 Coca Cola League 2 20th 53 - 2013/14 Coca Cola League 2 15th 60 - 2014/15 Coca Cola League 2 20th 50 - 2015/16 Coca Cola League 2 23rd 38 Relegated[/size] Next Season Nothing less than promotion will do. How I go about that is difficult to know. I think the current squad is, for the most part, good enough for BSP level, but a bit of strengthening with League Two also in mind would be good. The squad will need to be trimmed, too, because we’re in a fair bit of debt. Do I get parachute payments for dropping out of the League? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverbird93 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 2022-2023 Season Review-Kings Lynn-CCL2 This season we had to get promoted as our finances are incredibly bad so promotion or a great cup run was essential. Our cup runs were non existent so promotion was the only option. A great last day saw us creep into the playoffs. We drew our home leg and beat Forest Green away in the second leg 1-0 to go to Wembley to play Telford in the playoff final. A great performance saw us win 2-1 but it could have and should have been more. KINGS LYNN ARE PROMOTED. Stars of the Season Scott Norris-Normally I play him as a striker but I decided to play him as an AMC this season and he was immense as always a great season. Prince Addai-I bought him with the hope of a future star but he came good early and was inspirational especially in the run in.

GreyedOutMan Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Decided (for now at least) to stick with my original Boreham Wood game and try to turn around the team's fortunes. Gonna give it another season after this one and if I'm not in League Two by then I'll start again. But can someone give me a hand setting up the game? Every time I do, even if I tick "add key staff", I have none. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elnaith Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 So after often participating in this unofficially (Due to laziness or making other setups) I am now going to give it a shot in here: This is me, Merthyr style. Let's see how I fare, I set goal at winning the league immediately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerish Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 So, uh, any advice for the first season in the Prem? I'm getting killed at the minute...but it's all very narrow 1-0 losses. Only problem is we never look like creating anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikaelS Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 So, uh, any advice for the first season in the Prem? I'm getting killed at the minute...but it's all very narrow 1-0 losses. Only problem is we never look like creating anything. Stick with it. My first season in PL was like that. A lot of almost-wins. Play defensively and counter often as you will be the underdog a lot.

ChelseaDaft Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Chelseadaft Ashford Town (Middx) Season 8 2017/18 The Championship - Promotion!!! Well after a season of stability we have done it! We are in the Premier League after just 8 seasons and am well pleased. We have made fantastic progress and had to do it this season by starting out once more with our 2550 seat staduim as we had to wait for our new one to be finished. We got the news in early September it was ready and the move was completed. We now have a 13270 all-seat staduim. What was good for me this pre-season was the news that the board had doubled my wage budget to £24,000 per week and given me some money to spend. The was because of the money we received for TV rights and also we received 3 more parachute payments of £400k which really helped the finances. I knew that once the staduim was done and we moved into that we would be making loads of money so utilised the money I had along with the loan markets all season loan. Two transfers of note were to bring in a better goalkeeper (degan) who was rubbish and began moaning when he wasn't starting games so luckily enough sold him for a £400k profit and the other was ex-Chelsea Connor Clifford. The hardworking midfielder became my club captain and set the tone for the side at the beginning of the season. When Blackburn came knocking with a bid of £1.5m, knowing it could go into my wage budget for next season I decided to sell. We started off ok-ish. Winning games and then losing a few. I was switching between a standard, counter and attacking mentality from the start and that's what cost me defeats. Once I reverted to the original attacking mentality we were flying. Better quality defenders came into the squad on loan, midfielders too and bolstered my forward line with pace and power up front. By the Jan transfer window we were just inside the playoffs so decided to bring in some more players and loans and the team went from strength to strength. We gained promotion with games to spare and went into the last games right behind Blackburn. They beat us at their place but then lost as we won away in the second to last game of the season. We were just a point behind with our last game at home and theirs away and I had hoped to nick the title right at the death, but it wasn't to be. We both won so we finished on 95 points and just one point behind Blackburn. A fantastic achievement for our side and our club. I had previously received news from the board that our training facilities are being invested in so looking forward to that for the new season. We are now selling out our home games every game now too so hopefully it won't be too long till the stadium is expanded once more. Our finances looked great too!. Now looking forward to rebuilding a squad capable of staying in the Premier League and the mega TV money you get. Let's hope I can keep our run of success going. For now this is it. I am too excited to write anymore as I need to get on with my first ever Premier League season in this challenge ever! Here are the players who have done the business for me: GK: Henderson / Berry DR: Linney / OConnor DL: Johansson / Fernando DC: Diallo / Beorlegui / Edgar DMC: Elliott / Taiwo MC: Kwarteng / Moussi AMC: Edwards / Pechart FC: Corderoy / Saul FC: Boyd / Wale Unused Loanee : Brett Season League Position Achievements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2010/11 Blue Square South 1st Champions! 2011/12 Blue Square Premier 3rd Lost in Playoff Semis 2012/13 Blue Square Premier 1st Champions! 2013/14 League Two 10th None 2014/15 League Two 1st Champions! 2015/16 League One 2nd Promoted 2016/17 Championship 12th None 2017/18 Championship 2nd Promoted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerish Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Wow. If I play soon to be sold Nathaniel Wedderburn by January, he will have (with the help of other clubs admittedly) played in every league in England, incuding Blue Square North and South.

michaeltmurrayuk Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I've just lost in the Champions League thanks to my Keeper whacking a free-kick at one of my players (instead of passing the ball to him) resulting in the ball bouncing off my defender leaving the computer with a 40 yard tap in It wasn't even a one of as early in the match my Striker decided to whack a free-kick at another one of my players instead of waiting for him to move out of the way which resulted in the free kick being wasted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midgetram Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 After cruising through my Euro Cup group, I get a mother of all ties against Villarreal in the last 32 Think the european dream might end earlier than I would like this season... EDIT: Even if I were to get through, my opponents in the last 16 will be either Lazio or Porto. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren1983 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 After being away for a while due to starting a new job, meaning no real time to play FM, I dislocated my knee a week or so ago, so got plenty of time to play. I took a break from my Kingstonian game in order to have a play around with tactics, gone to load my game up today and have a corrupt file! Am ****ed off, 18 seasons gone! I normaly do a rolling 3 save thing but due to me being silly, at some stage in the last few weeks I deleted them. Am on hoilday as we speak to start this again, will post screenie soon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffa Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Beerish - My first season in the prem isn't all plain sailing either my friend. I've had to re-think my tactics after a somewhat promising start, I've started to nosedive a tad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerish Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 We're wasting our time. We get embarassed every single game. I'm bottom, on the back of a six game losing streak in January. Players, tactics, mean nothing. It's absolutely abject no matter what. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffa Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 That reminds me of how my first bash at the CCC felt. We were awful and deservedly went straight back down. Atm due to not having much spare time the last few days I'm sitting 14th after 12 games w4d2l6. I won 4 out of my first 5 though, so you can see how my form has badly dipped.

Beerish Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I think it was bound to happen eventually; I've had so many lucky promotions over the years that I deserve to have my ass handed to me. It's probably just more irritating that it should be at the top level, where consolidating your position really means something. How do teams in this challenge generally fare when relegated from the Prem? Highest league I've got to before is League 1, where I stayed for ages last time I attempted this.

Jtomsett11 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Thought i'd start this, only got to league 2 with farnborough last year but started quite late on - a bit of a cop out with Nuneaton this time as they are the easiest, but nevermind!

ChelseaDaft Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Chelseadaft Ashford Town (Middx) Season 9 2018/19 - Premier League. I couldn't wait to get started in the Premier League. With the TV money coming in and also the news of my new wage/transfer budget from the board I knew we could achieve our aim of avoiding relegation. So again, I set about clearing out the deadwood and utlising the Loan Markets. In addition to players I kept in my squad from last season such as, Beorlegui, Boyd, Corderoy and Wale with loaned out as not quite good enough Henderson, here are the season's transfers. In came Michael Essien to play the holding role on a free transfer. I paid £3m for Geraint Goodwin from Man Utd to increase my firepower up front as he had been on loan previously with me for a couple of seasons. Ciaran Clark and Mohammed Issa came in to the club costing me £8.1m in total but would sure up my backline. ( I also turned down an £8m bid from Chelsea for Issa in the Jan window). Kostadin Stoyanov came into the club and can play anywhere along the backline for a fee of £2.2m (in the beginning turned out to be a snip but last third of the season his form dropped) along with Williamson and Sueiro a young starlet from Barcelona on loans. I decided to spend money on new GK's and brought in Larsen for £1.2m who then missed the majority of the season after doing in his cruciate ligaments and also Ruben on loan from Liverpool. In Midfield added to Michael Essien was the experienced Deegan for £1.4m from Coventry, Diallo £1.4m from Nantes, Deul £1m from Willem II, Kanda and then Brown on Loan. Including Loan Fee's I had spent £21.5m on new players and had recouped £9.25m on the deadwood including a record £1.6m for Alex Edwards. We made a good start to the season, everyone gelled earlier than expected and we were 4th after 4 games and 3rd after 7. Our performances and results then varied until we sat top of the league after 17 games. We were playing well against the big sides. This was a stand out result leading up till Christmas. We were beating the mid-table sides and the lower rep Prem sides and I then believed that we could maybe push on for a top-half finish. With the staduim selling out our 13,270 tickets for every home game for the second season running after it had been built I was hoping that something would happen, for the board to invest and expand the stadium. With the transfer window approaching and looking to wheel-and-deak some more I received this message followed by this one. I was screwed and knew I had to strengthen but my hands were tied. It wasn't until the beginning of March I then received confirmation the takeover had been completed. So I missed out on doing any business at all in Jan. Luckily enough up to that point we were still doing well. We were drawn away to Liverpool in the FA CUP 3rd round and forced a draw and brought them back to the Ashford Stadium and produced our best display of the season to hammer them! The cup run didn't last though and we lost two rounds later to Sheff Utd. Our League form maintained itself really as I always make three changes to my side on 60 mins to keep important positions in my tactic fresh and after Christmas we were never any lower than seventh in the league. We stablised our position in 6th place in the Premier League in the last 6 games of the season and we had done it, we had Qualified for the EURO Cup next season! Little-old Ashford (Middx) !!. Here is the squad screen. With finishing 6th we also were awarded some much needed prize money as you will see on my finances screen after the monies were received. (I just realised I have loaded through a new season and never took the table screenie at the end of the season, if you check my prize money screen you will see confirmation I finished 6th so sorry about that). I then received the following two messages about a Staduim Expansion (at last) and also training facilities being done. So well pleased with our performances this season and to finish in 6th with the Europa League next season is amazing, then again, this whole journey has been up till now! Roll on next season (I'm off to get my passport! ) Season League Position Achievements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2010/11 Blue Square South 1st Champions! 2011/12 Blue Square Premier 3rd Lost in Playoff Semis 2012/13 Blue Square Premier 1st Champions! 2013/14 League Two 10th None 2014/15 League Two 1st Champions! 2015/16 League One 2nd Promoted 2016/17 Championship 12th None 2017/18 Championship 2nd Promoted 2018/19 Premier League 6th Euro Cup Qualification.
