jmknpk Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Oh rats! Just took a look at my finances after my first regular season month and saw that we lost 30,000. At that rate, we'll be broke by January or February. I scheduled a bunch of friendlies, but I think I must have signed too many players. Since I'm so early into this challenge, I think I'll restart and try again. Hope that's allowed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerneo Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Hednesford Season 5 (14/15) Table Graph Main goal was to stay up, we did along with signing some really quality Spanish youth players, one of which my assman says could be a good PL player one day. So over all good season, everything is on stable ground just need a few more players to push over top. Cups: FA Cup Carling Cup Squad Transfers Finances Players: McGeouch: Good season, was slowed by injuries. Nielsen: Picked up on a free was solid why McGeouch was nursing his many injuries this season. Rojo: Very promising youth I picked up from Spain, assman says he will be a good PL player one day... Saez: My other good find in Spain, my hope is the pair of them will anchor the midfield for a long time to come.

darren1983 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Kingstonian Season Review Season 2018/19 League One Media Prediction - 12th Final Posistion 2nd After my 2nd 9th place finish in a row, I had a clear out and brought in a new GK along with a new back 4 along with a couple of new forwards, this was a kinda of "all or bust" move as I was 3.5k over my wage budget. We started off as we have done for the last few seasons by looking good one week before playing rubbish the next, I was confident that once the team gelled things would improve-and boy did they! At the end of December we were 4th in the league and a long way behind run away leaders Bradford, we lost away to Wigan, this was to be our last loss for 21 games as we hit top form and started to hunt down Bradford. By the time we played Bradford at home in March we knew a win would send us top for the first time, we batterd them 4-0 and in truth it could (maybe should) have been more. From here we cruised on beating evryone in sight and scoring goals for fun. With 4 games to go we were top but only a point clear of Wigan and 3 ahead of Bradford, it was then we decieded to lose our club record unbeaten run by losing away to MK Dons and dropped to second where we stayed till the end of the season despite losing our last away game to Southend, but thankfuly promotion was ours!!!!!!!! League Cup - Our first win EVER in this compition! we then loat in the 2nd round! FA Cup - One win, One loss JPT - well after runners up last season,and our promotion run in the 2nd half of this season, I didnt really pay much attention until we got to the area semi final and beat Ipswich away on pens. In the area final we played Wycombe.After a 4-1 win away we cruised to a 3-0 home win to book our place in the final against Crewe - we win!!!!!

We got a chance to secure the title on the last day as all we had to do was win but we drew due to Subotic's goal for Sutton. Play-off Semi 1and 2 Playoff Final Two great goals and the match brought in some much needed money so all good Fa cup We lost out to a far superior Crewe team. Transfers The mass clear out of the team. It allowed me to rebuild and to sort out the wage budget and balance issues. Squad Good strong squad. Key Players Mcshea Good player who was played across the front, the majority of his appearences came on the right where he would inflict great damage on the opposistion. Morris The star of the defence once again, he was a rock. Reynolds The ex-pompey defender was good but not as good as I hoped Wilson What can I say? The academy product was the star of the team, top player could go quite far Brown Not quite in the same league as Wilson but still a star, he played on the left wing or upfront as he seemed unable to play well in the hole behind the striker.

Yidd0! Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Farnborough FC 2013/2014 - BSP I've decided to rewrite this, as I didn't really give any info to you all. Unfortunately, I'm at work at the moment, so I cannot produce any screenshots. Well, the plan for this season (looking back at what I wrote when I was last playing this game) was to push for promotion. I thought we had a squad capable of doing the business, but it looks as though I was wrong - with the 'Boro finishing in mediocre circumstances 12th. I wouldn't say thats too bad, but the board were furious - at times media were putting pressure on me to be sacked. Strangely, I came second in manager of the season for BSP. God knows how that happened.... We struggled. There's no way around saying it, the team took too long to gel, having said that - we did win 6-0 on the opening day against Bournemouth. That was probably the highlight of the season. I did however manage sign Matthew Bates (ex Middlesbrough player) on a free and for a surprisingly little p/t weekly wage; that helped give our defence some stability as it was leaking goals from all angles. I tried to mix things up a little, even resorting to *gulp* 4-5-1 against the top teams, but they just took us apart. The main problem was a lack of goals. Our midfield was solid, signing Derek Niven on a free gave Kaby the freedom through the middle and he banged a few goals in for us. However it was just not enough. Liam Dickinson signed from Brighton on a free gave us 20 goals, which is not a bad return, but I expected more from a League One player who has a good scoring record. When playing 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 he wouldn't link up properly and start 'disliking' other strikers (this was at the end of the season.) It's a shame I'm going to have to sell him. If he only had a problem with one player, it wouldn't be so bad, but its been 2 or 3 over the season. Tramnere are sniffing after him, so in all fairness he can go. My prolific £8 striker Robert McCormick had a dreadful season after starting so well with 4 in 3 games, his total goal tally for the season ended at 9. Not enough, so he will either rot in the reserves or be sold. He is looking to become a coach, so that might help in future. The only real good to come out of this season was Caolan Logan. My attacking midfielder, come right winger, come striker had a good season - averaging over 7.0. Also, the club are financially stable and after having removed a large amount of deadwood at the end of June, I am confident that 'Boro can mount a push for Promotion next season. Before I forget, I just got Gary Madine on a free at the end of the season. That's not bad eh! Come on the 'Boro!!!

Crispypaul Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Crispypaul - Boreham Wood - Season 2010/11 - Blue Square North We were predicted 20th although bizarrely had odds of 8-1 to win the division. Which we did extremely comfortably in the end. We had an easy run to the 3rd round of the FA Cup, including an impressive home win against BSP side Ebbsfleet. We ultimately went out in the 3rd round to an obviously good Sunderland. Had a good run in the FA trophy which was ended away at Cambridge. Our star players Jabuti Ryan Conroy Martin Camano Richard Brittain Craig McShea Man City did the double, Real Madrid won the European Cup and Napoli the Europa League. I'm hoping to build up some momentum for the BSP and get another promotion.

Spartansteen Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Tooting & Mitcham United FC - Barclays Premier League - 2062/63Over the last few years we have built what could the best squad we have ever had, so this really was a period of dominance for us. League Table League Positions Graph We spent most of the season trailing Man Utd but eventually they fell apart to let us win yet another title. Community Shield - it was a narrow win in a game that we should have won easily. UEFA Super Cup - what a match, and what a way to win it. FIFA Club World Cup - one of the easiest cup finals we'll ever have. Carling Cup - we sneaked though on penalties, then got knocked out on penalties. FA Cup - with the exception of QPR it was a dominant run to a thrilling final. UEFA Champions League - we blasted our way through the Champions League this year with our free scoring football. Even with ten men, we dominated the final. Squad - the attacking quality of this squad is awesome, but we do have a weak spot in our central defenders. I am aware of the number of foreigners creeping in but there just isn't the English talent available. Transfers - a very quiet transfer window as we just brought in a few youngsters for backup. Key Player Profiles: Toni Crnjak - possibly the greatest free transfer ever. Axier - the four strikers shared the goals between them but Axier was probably the pick of the four. Hasan Aydin - one of his best ever seasons, which suggests he may well play into his thirties. Lucas Lencina - not the greatest all round player but does superbly in his role on the wing. Erwin Michaux - our second best striker this year.

ugen64 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I didn't want to post until I finished my first season because I have a tendency to give up halfway through games. But this game looks promising: Manager Profile I haven't looked at the vast majority of posts in this topic to avoid finding players, etc., but I did read a few pages, enough to notice that Boston United seems to be a really popular choice. Oh well... I imagine it doesn't make much of a difference after a few seasons (except we do have a relatively large ground). Anyway, we were predicted to finish 18th at the beginning of the season. My goal was a playoff spot. Going into the last day of the season, we were in 2nd place and I needed to win and have 1st place Barrow to lose to 20th place Stafford in order to win the title. Needless to say I had the latest scores window open for the duration of the game... we did our part: Boston 4 - 1 Corby But it doesn't matter because Barrow destroyed Stafford, right? Nope! Way to leave it late there... Blue Square Premier, here we come! Barrow actually had an epic late season collapse, losing the last 3 matches of the season when 1 draw of the 3 would have secured the title. I feel really bad for Barrow... not. Some of my star players: Spencer Weir-Daley - the only regular first teamer who was at the club when I took over. He was banging in the goals during the first half of the season - I think he had like 16 in the first 20 matches. But obviously he's not actually that good, even for the BSN level, and he came back down to earth in the 2nd half. Scored a couple of vital goals as a supersub though... Fortunately this midseason signing took over: Daryl Clare - if he had pace or height, he would be a great player. As it is I'm not sure I will renew his contract, because we happen to have a lot of depth up front. Leon Osborne - dribbling + pace = great BSN winger. Thomas Pinault - this guy might as well be Zidane at this level. Even then, his lack of stamina meant he only finished like 5 games in the entire season.

Gypsum Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Long time no see Dafuge's challengers! As some old-timers may remember, I posted a lot in the FM09 challenge with my Merthyr side, and I tried again on FM10 with King's Lynn (got to the Premiership until a stadium improvement bug ruined my game). Well, I was getting bored with my current career game, and decided to give this another go. The good thing is that I still have an old save, where I restarted this challenge with Merthyr. So I can pick up where I left off, sitting 2nd in the BSP after 14 games in my fourth season.

SnakeXe Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Has anyone noticed that BSS/BSN are much easier to be promoted from than the BSP. I've really struggled to get out of that league. Up until FM10 I'd never gotten out of the BSP with this challenge! Just could not get my head round it. Best chance I ever got (before '10) was in 09 with FC United, had a far better squad than any of the rest of the league but went on an awful run to begin with, and was playing catchup. Sneaked into the playoffs with title-winning form over the second half of the season, demolished the team in the semi-final, and was all set to march into League football... except we lost 1-0 in the final. Gah. My loanees wouldn't come back to me, lost a couple of other key men on frees, and that was that. Played another half season and gave up IIRC.

Gypsum Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Just sealed promotion from the BSP with one game remaining. Kettering needed to get a better result than me to stay in the chase for the final day, but they got hammered 4-1 by 17th placed Droylesden! I also managed a rare thrashing, beating mid-table Southport 5-1. But to be honest, coming back to this save from another BSP game and seeing how good my squad was compared to that, I would have been extremely disappointed if we hadn't at least got promotion. Especially after I figured out my back four and got a loaned goalie in. Report to come soon... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Key Players Jefferson Gowland A great player in the middle of the park. Signed after Fulham let him go. Jabuti Slight cheat here as he 's been good for others. Scored 32 goals in all competitions and would have scored more if he wasn't injured for 6 weeks. Darryl Sydes Sydes has been a great middle of the park player with Gowland. Jack Macleod Has been great down the right wing all season. Alex Bentley Bentley has been a revelation at right back playing nigh on every game this season.

Gypsum Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Gypsum's Merthyr Tydfil - End of season update - 2013/14 Blue square premier - League table - Positions graph Media prediction - 13th Final position - 1st The graph flatters us a bit, as Kettering pushed us all the way (and were extremely unlucky to lose in the playoff final themselves). Our performances improved throughout the season. Particularly when we picked up goalkeeper Gerard O'Toole on loan and I discovered my most solid back four. From there it was fairly plain sailing and we picked up a few good results thanks to our counter-attacking style, with pacy strikers and technically sound attacking midfielders. But it's always nice to crack 100 points, and a +50 goal difference is something to be proud of. Squad info; Squad selection Transfers Key players; Steven Lennon - ST - Lennon had another excellent season for us, as the former Rangers player bagged 31 goals in 40 appearances with a 7.45 rating. Taking his league total for Merthyr to a superb 89 goals in 122 games. His pace, dribbling and finishing have been too much for defences at this level, although i'm not sure he could carry this for through to League 2. He was also awarded BSP player of the season, league's 2nd highest scorer and named in the BSP team of the year. Abdulai Bell-Baggie - AMR/ST - The former Reading forward signed for us on a free at the beginning of the season, and his technical ability proved invaluable in the chase for the title. Although he struggled for a first team place near the beginning of the season playing either up front or on the right-wing as needed, he still made a total of 35 appearances with 10 goals, 12 assists and a 7.20 rating and his goals in the final few games were crucial in securing first place. Marc Laird - MC - Another free signing at the beginning of the term, the former Man City, Millwall and Rotherham player was superb for us in the playmaker role. His final passing and through balls were at times sensational, and helped him claim a club record 18 assists in 48 appearances with a 7.11 rating. Carlos Gonzalez - DM/MRC - One of my star signings this season, the 20 year-old Costa Rican was released from the Tottenham youth system before we snapped him up on a free. He went on to make 33 appaearances with a 7.10 rating. And his performances in the latter part of the season and ever-increasing technical stats have established him as one for the future.

Alegeeter Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Oxford City - Blue Square South - 2011/12 This season we were predicted to be 10th. I thought we would easily do better but then I found out that the owners weren't willing to invest money in the club to take us out of the red. This means I had to get rid of quite a few players who would establish us as a good side. League Table Due to me being a little lazy with my print screening, I can only give you my league table and not the league positions. :o Basically unlike the other season we did spend much of our time out of the playoffs. At one stage we were as low as 13th and playoffs didn't look likely. I was thinking that maybe I shouldn't have bought as many players the previous season. We didn't really get going till march and somehow managed to get as high as 2nd with about two month to go. Unfortunately a few bad results saw us finish 4th. We were in the playoffs!!! As you can see from my rather mistimed screenshot I didn't get promoted... I'll still give you the playoff matches. Playoff Semi Final Leg 1 I felt confident about this match as we finished the season with good form. One of my few centre backs got injured though just before the game for a few week which kind of ruined everything. We was exploited twice and we needed a good away performance to recover. Playoff Semi Leg 2 We didn't look like scoring the entire first half. The second half started and half way through we were finished off by a penalty. Nasty way to end a season. Now we're out of debt though so should start the next season confidently FA Cup-Unfortunately an early exit for me in this competition against lower league position. It was a bad result but it meant we could concentrate on the league. FA Trophy-A lot better than the FA Cup as we reached the first round seeing off nuneaton on penalties. The higher Stevenage disposed with us easily though as we went crashing out. Transfers At first you would think that I didn't sell that much, but we didn't have that many players at the time anyway. So this really hurt us. Two good signings in Lewis Emanuel and Billy Mckay and loan signing of Joe Day helped us get that 4th place. Mckay especially as he grabbed 23 goals. He didn't get a high rating though so is left out the key players this season. Squad-Again due to my mistimed print screening this is what I had to use for squad. As you can see there isn't any amazing performances but this is the team that quite simply were the only players who got us to that 4th position. With us out of debt there will be some better players coming in next season Best Player Profile: Dale Moon-This player was quite solid all season and saved us from missing out on the playoffs. Great performance from the centre back Career Overview Season League Position Achievements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2010/11 Blue Square North 2nd playoffs semi finalists 2011/12 Blue Square North 4th playoffs semi finalists Next Season With a few signings that with our increasing reputation should be the best we had... surely next season is our year ?

dafuge Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 Tooting & Mitcham United FC - Barclays Premier League - 2063/64 The club is really dominating now, all we can do is to try and emulate what we achieved last season. League Table League Positions Graph We lost our opening match (to Swansea!) so we spent the first part of the season chasing the pack. Once we caught them it was it was yet another easy title. Community Shield - could have gone either way but our keeper helped us earn the win. UEFA Super Cup - a nice easy win. FIFA Club World Cup - it could have been more but it was still a good win. Carling Cup - it was a dominant run to an easy final. FA Cup - we sneaked through a couple of rounds but saved our best for the final. UEFA Champions League - we were blasting our way through but came unstuck in the semi final as Juventus somehow beat us home and away. Squad - our attack is still a lot stronger than our defence, but I just can't seem to get hold of any decent central defenders. Transfers - a couple of talented youngsters were brought in and the squad was trimmed to make a tidy profit. It was a shame to sell Marcio but he just wasn't getting in the team. Key Player Profiles: Axier - his goalscoring record this season was superb. Sebastiano Costacurta - I was considering selling him but he's done really well. Toni Crnjak - brilliance yet again. Hasan Aydin - he may be getting on a bit but he's still great. Mitchell Jansen - he may not be a first choice but he's been great in the games he's played.

TacticalGenius Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Today, we call a Press Conference to announce the new manager of Dartford. *Beep Beep Beep* That's the fire alarm. Sorry, no press conference today, but Jamie Reynolds will still be manager. We hope he will be as successful as the last time he took Dafuges Challenge!

Jaffa Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I've taken Nuneaton town all the way to the premiership, and I'm actually currently topping the league... BUT...disaster really, I seem to have lost all interest. I'm going to start again. There I said it... EDIT: I think it's probably due to me caving in and downloading a tactic. I went from Premiership also rans to contenders overnight. I cant remember what it's called but it's a 4123,.. tactics really shouldnt make this much difference, but it does serve to show how tactically inept I must be at the top levels...

ugen64 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Boston United - Blue Square Premier - 2011/12 Media prediction: 23rd Actual finish: 2nd (lost in playoff final) Transfers That just about sums it up, really. I was hoping for a top-half finish; what I got was a 36 match unbeaten run to end the season in 2nd place. Unfortunately we lost the playoff final to Wrexham 1-0, with star striker Chris Dickson playing with injections on a broken wrist. Some nice moments: Danny Swailes wonder goal - finished 3rd place in Goal of the Season. Swailes, of course, is a central defender, and not a very good one at that. Player of the Month sweep Chris Dickson 11 goals in 6 matches There were really 2 players who stood out above everyone else: Chris Dickson - won Best Player, Top Goalscorer, broke the Blue Square Premier record for goals in a season, and on top of that he finished tied for 1st in assists with... Tom Kilbey. This guy ran the midfield all year, and he's only 21 years old. A great all-around player. I'm already a few games into the next season - this time around I'm going for 1st place. Bought Dickson a half-decent strike partner - Stephen Elliott, 28 year old striker who must have the lowest ambition of any professional footballer, choosing to join Boston when there were League One clubs looking at him. Oh well, so much the better for me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be relatively short as I forgot to do the screens before the 25th June. The media predicted relegation, the board wanted me to avoid relegation. But in usual fashion, I went for promotion. The Season The season couldn’t have gone any better. Massive goal count, great players all round. Greenhalgh being the usual god he is. My old school friend Mark Gillespie doing a good job between the sticks. Jabuti was godlike alongside Birchall. In the cups, we did terribly. In the league however, a great success. Blue Square North Table Transfers | Squad Confidence | Finances Manager of the Season Jordan Swinburn The Jordan Swinburn Award (The Surprise of the Season award) Jabuti’s 10 against Boston United, in the 6-0 trashing. This guy is too good. The Millward Player Choice Award (Manager's Player of the Year) Jabuti Jabuti. What can you say. The man is a goal machine. 42 league games, 43 goals. Rightly the top scorer in the league. Overall he played 50 games and scored 49. He also assisted 19 and got 13 Man of the Match awards. Hoping for another good signing from the Spaniard next season. Fan's Player of the Year Jabuti Aims for next season, going for another promotion. Better cup runs would be nice.

Cenotaph Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I wanted to take a proper stab at this, but after aprox 97(3,5 hours nonstop) loads and reloads. I can't get Aveley or Bashley up.
