The Art of Drowning Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Thanks guys, I agree with daemonic, the most difficult part of the challenge is just the will to stay with it. Rising through the leagues was easy because our reputation had time to grow and we could always attract good free transfer players released from the league above us. I'm not sure if we'll retain our wins this season, have aimed to make more money and just sign free squad players again. Hope it doesn't backfire.

It also looks like we weren't good enough to qualify for the 1st qualifying round of the FA Cup. The only cup we're scheduled to play in, so far, is the East Midlands Counties League Cup (I believe that's the correct name...there are so many damn cups, I can't keep them all straight).

Proto Tarkula Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Season 10 - Rayners Lane - Championship - 12th League Table The players: GK Simon Marsden He is captain and he is 23 - enough said. DL(Full back, support) Andre Byles Promising left back, played fantastic at the end of the season. Jeremy Helan Inconsistent and became second choice at the end of the season. DR(Full back, support) Lubomir Novosad Very important and consistent player DC(Limited defender, defend) Halidor Akason Decent player, plays surprisingly well(at least for me) Stewart Osbourne January signing, very promising ML(Winger, attack) Rui Rodrigues Very fast left winger, one of the most important players Jose Manuel Backup left winger MR(Winger, attack) Tomasz Kupisz First choice right winger MR(Wide midfielder, attack) Tommy Stephens Backup right winger, January signing. Very disappointing so far. MCd(Ball winning midfielder, defend) Andrew Crofts Bought him to be a backup for Bill Moran but played great and became first choice Bill Moran Not the best season from him but he is still young. MCa(Advanced playmaker, support) Carl Winchester January signing, disappointing so far. Kristoffer Virtanen Played great, pity he's on loan and too expensive ST(Poacher) Charlie Burgess Player of the season, I hope to loan him again next season. ST(Deep-lying forward, support) Ignacio Velasco Young and talented striker, unfortunately he wants to move. ST(Poacher/Deep-lying forward) Jason Rhodes Very promising young talent ML(Winger, attack)/AML(Inside forward, attack)/ST(Advanced forward, attack) Robert Hart Not the best player but can cover a lot of positions and is happy with his role.

daemonic Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 AFC Liverpool - Coca-Cola League 2 - 2015/16 Transfers Despite a huge transfer budget of 2m I stuck with a few loans and some freebies with the one purchase costing the princely sum of 1k. Best signing may be the end of season signing of Scott Parker, he's 35 now but still top quality for a League One side. Coca-Cola League 2 Predicted: 24th | Final Position: WINNERS | Graph Predicted 24th we did what we've done every season so far and thrashed everyone, sealing promotion with 9 games to spare and the title with 8 games left. After that form dipped a little but we still ended the season unbeaten, 35 points clear of second place Bristol Rovers and with a GD of +101. FA Cup - Third Round Hammered Oldham and Frickley before Man City gave us a hiding. League Cup - First Round Fell at the first hurdle to Championship side, Nottingham Forest. Johnston Paint Trophy - North Second Round Knocked out in our first game after getting a bye in the first round, embarrassing. Liverpool County FA Senior Cup - Semi-Final Liverpool bloody Reserves beat us again. Other News Finances Very healthy again as we played to a capacity crowd during about half our home games. The 4400 capacity is likely to be a problem next season though.

The Art of Drowning Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 That's great going Daemonic, think I had Luke Powell very early on in my Aylesbury game. Had good stats and was decent back up in the lower parts of non league but I had no idea he was capable of what you've achieved with him. well played, looks like you've got the patience to complete this.

daemonic Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I'm shocked Powell has lasted this long as well, although he was released by Everton before joining AFC Liverpool in Level 10 so he must have had something to begin with. The coaches still rate him as a good League One striker and with 3 forwards playing each game he will continue to get chances until he's obviously out of his depth.

Quiet day in work so had a quick check of your transfer screens and you had him for 1 season before letting him go to Enfield on a free....how could you As he's already scored a League 1 goal for me, making that goals in 8 different leagues I might just try to get him a goal in the Championship and Premiership as well to make it a nice even 10.

B.W.G Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Ludlow Town-Season 13 Review (2021/22) Premiership...Starting in West Midlands League Premier Division(Level 10) Transfers These transfers were more for attacking options except for Pazdera whop was to strengthen the defence. Although Byron Wild is a unusual one when it came to internationals, he was born in falkirk was clearly the best scottish forward but snubbed by the Scots, signed by me then selected for Englands U21's scoring twice on debut and finished the season making his full England debut in the world cup. League Table - It was that comfortable by the end of the season, I am fully pleased with it although a defender of mine fully did my head in and caused harmony problems in the dressing room. Cups Champsion League-Winners - Think Wamberto paid a large chunk of his fee off with that winner. Club World Championship - Winners - walk in the park this competition was. Super Cup-Winners - They were tough to break down. FA Cup - Semi-Finals - The one cup I wanted and I failed, maybe next season. Chelsea won it. League Cup - 4th Round - City are my bogey team, not surprised I lost really, my record against them sucks. Charity Shields - Winners - Took all of 14 seconds for Sanchez to make an impact, got lucky with penalty shootout. Player/Awards I got Manager of the year, wasn't really a close competition though. Sanchez received Young Player of the Year - Excellent debut season and was a year younger then 2nd and 3rd so there is a chance he could get it again next season. Wamberto was selected as Ludlow Town's Player of the Year - He had a average rating of 7.31 over 57 games and was top scorer with 28 goals. Stadium getting a 5,000 seat expansion to take it to around 30,000 and failities are being upgraded again. Next season to continue with winning (hopefully), buy youth and develop them in which I have spotted 5 so far and finally get an international job hopefully with a european country.

daemonic Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 After the first couple of games I went on a desperate hunt for players to improve the squad further but haven't had much luck and I'm trying hard to avoid loanees, the only one so far is a player sent by parent club Liverpool. I'm really hoping the sluggish start is down to the need for new players to gel into the squad as our best 11 probably has 5 or 6 new signings in it.

B.W.G Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I'm thinking it is more down to them needing to gel as I've had my busiest pre-season since League 1 by signing 10 players and although I ain't lost yet, its been 3 very poor wins and 1 lucky draw so far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Art of Drowning Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Players gelling is a much bigger factor in this version of FM.

Again went for the money making to pay off the previous 48 month deals, spent no money and recouped £32.5m. Concentrated on blending some fringe/youth players in and John Keen finally made the breakthrough at the age of 21 after 3 loan spells away from the club, he managed 17 appearances in total.

Our only loanees were Egan sent by parent club Liverpool as part of our deal and Nash who was drafted in for 3 months to cover injuries. Coca-Cola League 1 Predicted: 24th | Final Position: WINNERS | Graph Not quite the domination of previous seasons as it took 17 games for us to establish ourselves at the top, but after that the other contenders fell away and we were crowned champions on the 25th of February with 9 games left to play. With our late season form we ended the campaign 34 points clear, scoring over 100 goals yet again and on a 38 game unbeaten streak. FA Cup - Fourth Round Decent run and a respectable score against West Ham. League Cup - Second Round Lost in the second round to Fulham who are playing in the Championship.

daemonic Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I understand why people are getting through the created leagues easily, but getting successive promotions (and many times titles) from BSN/S to Championship, then placing well in the Premiership just shouldn't be possible but for once in a blue moon. I think the success in the 'standard' leagues is a knock on from the reputation increase given for success in the added leagues. I think clubs reputations may be getting boosted too much by these minor comps so it's similar to editing a BSN/BSS teams reputation to a higher value and that makes attracting players etc easier. Also the manager reputation is way off by the time I got to the standard leagues, and this allowed me attract players I really shouldn't have been able to get. In the BSP I was continental and winning CCL2 bumped me up to the only world class manager in my save. You know the scenario, you find a potential star, put in a bid and suddenly lots of clubs make offers and you just know he'll sign for them...well I've found they usually sign for me, often on lowish wages and I get the "Player X is looking forward to working with ..." message which has to be related to my manager rep.

daemonic Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 AFC Liverpool - Coca-Cola Championship - 2017/18 Transfers The option to scout all of Europe opened up our options as we signed Italians, Spaniards and Portuguese galore including the smashing of our transfer record with the 2.4m purchase of Gualter Fraga. The best signing however was the capture on a free of former Arsenal trainee, James McGee. On the way out it was mostly players who were surplus to requirements and a couple of players who decided they were too big for little AFC Liverpool. After handing in transfer requests our number 1 keeper, Curutchet choose to return to France and play for Le Mans UC 72 while DC, Angeli decided the mighty FC Midtjylland of Denmark was a better option. Coca-Cola Championship Predicted: 24th | Final Position: WINNERS | Graph This year it took 25 games before we were able to establish ourselves at the top of the table as Sheffield Utd were having a fantastic first half to the season. The main problem in getting to the top was we conceded a lot more goals than previous years which will need to change. Despite a late season dip in form we sealed promotion and the title with 5 games to go having already passed the 100 goals milestone for the 9th season in a row. FA Cup - Fourth Round A good home win over Everton before Chelsea beat us at Stamford Bridge. League Cup - Second Round Liverpool County FA Senior Cup - Quarter Final Beaten by Liverpool Reserves doesn't bode well for when we'll be meeting the full team next season. Other News Finances took a hit as the wage bill couldn't be met by our gate receipts but that should change the season after next when we move to the 16,453 seat Daemonic Stadium. Club Records Awards Coca-Cola Championship Top Goalscorer - 1st James McGee Stars Most Assists: Luke Powell - 15 Most Goals: James McGee - 35 Most MoM: James McGee - 10 Highest Avg Rating: James McGee - 7.48 Fans Player of the Year: James McGee Best Eleven: Season | Overall The game is obviously VERY VERY broken when Powell is dropped from the overall best 11 so I'm going to chronicle his exploits anyway. Fabulous season for Powell as he passed the 200 goal milestone and has scored in 9 levels of English football. I thought I'd be weakening the team playing him but he was brilliant scoring 22 and creating another 15. Ridiculous stats given his attributes.
