Evertonbloke Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 The Evertonbloke Round the World Challenge. Heres the situation: You are an unproven young manager with a burning desire to prove yourself as the best of the best. Starting out with no reputation, none of the big clubs would look twice at you. You must start in some village team out the back and beyond! Building your reputation steadily and jumping ship to more well known teams is the only way to succeed. Only time will tell if you really do have what it takes to win it all. (Originally called Evertonblokes big long challenge, anyone still playing from FM07 is more than welcome to post in this thread) It’s a very simple premise, you have to collect all the trophies on the list below: World World Cup European Cup African Nations Cup Asian Cup North America Gold Cup Copa America Confederations Cup European Euro Vase Euro Cup Euro Champions Cup Euro Super Cup Americas North America Champions Cup Copa Libertadores Copa Sudamerica Recopa Africa African Champions League African Cup Winners Cup African Super Cup Asia Asian Champions League Confederations Cup South East Asian Club Championship East Asian Championship Specials Royal League - top 4 teams from Norway, Sweden, Denmark All Ireland Cup - Top teams from Ireland and Northern Ireland World Club Championship You can run as many leagues as you want, remembering that the more leagues and divisions there are, the more opportunities there will be. However you WILL need a minimum of the following leagues: 1 from Sweden, Denmark, or Norway 1 from Ireland or Northern Ireland 1 from Brazil or Argentina 1 from Singapore or Malaysia 1 from USA or Mexico 1 from South Korea or China South Africa Australia Plus it is recommended that you take a big European League and retain all players from New Zealand to help with some of the competitions. I would advise to run some leagues to their lowest division to help with getting a job when you have little or no rep in that country. Rules Any DB size, any retained countries No game editors or editing allowed Attribute masking ON You must win all the cups with one manager. You must start off as an unemployed manager with automatic previous experience The winner is the first to collect all these cups, and photo proof will be required! Player naming is allowed, but only in the respect of putting in a team report. IE. No lists of players you recommend others buy. Please post screenies of anything you wish and give updates on anything that you think would be interesting to the other challengers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanefc Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 well my first job offer wasnt long in coming... Kayserispor in Turkish top flight... closly followed by Paulista, Sparta Rotterdamn, Almagro, Ituano, Baltika Kaliningrad, Vitebsk Busan and Dinamo Bucharest turned me down outright Profile - Dec06 after careful though, there isnt realy much of a choice to be made... Kayserispor are by far the biggest team of the bunch, and perhaps the biggest turkish side outside Istanbul. the club is valued at 9.25 million, and predicted to finish 5th, behind the big 3 from istanbul and trabzonspor. given a transfer budget of 1.9 million, and a wage budget of 50k... the clubs owners must be on drugs hireing me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

5ergio Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Great challenge as it was in FM 07. Never had the time for it but will definitely give this a go although I suppose it'll be hard to process this at the same time with dafuge's. But anyway at least I'll load up a game and play occasionally. @seanefc: Being a Turk myself, I'm glad that you got in Kayserispor. Definitely it's the best team out of the top 4. And tbh that top 4 could well underachieve easily. So I'm expecting a nice season for you. Most probably you'll be topping the league in 3-4 years of time if you manage to bring in some quality players. GL to all participants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evertonbloke Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 Evertonbloke Update I'm half way through my first season and thought I should post my first update I spent the first 8 months of the game waiting for the season to start! I had started in Dec'06 thnaks to the Brazilian League, however getting a job in Argentina where the league starts in August meant a lot of time doing nothing! I had started with a 3 point deduction, which wasnt too bad in my opinion. I had a transfer budget of £120K which was more than anyone else was offering. I brought in Fernando Gatti, Jorge Priotti, and Richard Rojas, who all went straight into the first team. Gatti has been a revelation so far, but has just got injured. Luckily I also had a guy called Franco Arizala arriving in Jan'08 (now) I got rid of 7 squad players to trim the wage bill as well. Currently we are sitting 7th in the league and need to finish second to get promotion, I dont think we are quite ready for the top flight now though. Lets see how I feel at the end of the season!!!

CoachFlu Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Right, I'll have a go at this. A nice, long, computer-strainingly slow game to have running in the background while working. Selected countries: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, China, England, France, Germany, Holland, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, USA Profile Started July 8th 2007, applied to all available jobs (21 of them, I believe), and accepted the first offer, on July 9th. Am now the new manager of Hohhot, in the Chinese First Division. They're currently 13th and last, halfway into the season, with 7 points from 12 matches. The objective: avoid relegation in the remaining 12 matches this season, and then "establish the team in the First Division" by the end of next season. Sounds like a plan.

Evertonbloke Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 Evertonbloke Update My first season has come to a close with the mighty Almagro finishing 7th. We got as high as 4th and was challenging for the second promotion spot before 4 loses on the bounce ruined that! During the close season I have cut all the rubbish out of the team and some older first teamers. My First Team squad is now short of a DC, GK, and only has 2 subs! Soon have that sorted! I didnt actually want to lose the keeper, but the board sold him out from under me Preseason shouldnt take too long and then I'm going for promotion to the top flight History: Dec '06 - Present: Almagro - No Honours Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachFlu Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Oct. 27th 2007 update 110 days in charge of Hohhot in the Chinese First Division, and the first task - avoiding relegation in the remaining 12 matches in the season - is completed. League table When I took over the team had 7 points and was in last place, tied with Beijing, so the task was simple - get more points than them. With a 2-7-3, a string of results I was quite pleased with under the circumstances, we should have coasted to safety, but Beijing battled back, and our last match day draw turned out to be vital. I haven't quite decided yet whether I want to stay on and try to finish mid-table next season. It would be a bit of a challenge - once all the loan players return to their clubs, I'll have 15 players left, and a total bank balance of 22k euro, so not much room for transfers or an increased wage budget. Sounds like a challenge I'd be up for. But with the off-season lasting a good four and a half months, I may get impatient and keep my eyes open for another job.
