Trents Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I thought it might be interesting to leave my game running in holiday mode over night to see the state of the English leagues a few years in the future. I ended up getting distracted by work and didn't get a chance to go back and check for a few days. Had a look now and the game had got to 2075 before crashing. So, what to expect in the coming years. Newport County to reach the Premier League and win the FA Cup Wigan to drop down to Blue Square North by 2048. After brief revival they are now back down there Norwich are also currently in the BSN Other 'big' sides who are also non-league include Blackpool, Middlesborough and Preston Gloucester, Colwyn Bay and AFC Telford are rocking it in the Championship with Chelsea Notts County have won the League Cup 3 times inpast 6 seasons. Colwyn Bay won it in 2053 Notable World Cup winners include Belguim(2022), USA(2030), Austrailia(2050) England (2066) England still haven't hosted another World Cup but got the Euros in 2028 and 2048 Nigeria are 4th in World rankings, Congo are 5th. Mali are 9th. England 22nd, Scotland 18th. Anyone want to know how their club/country/player has faired? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erimus1876 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Can you give us an idea of AI sqaud strength? i.e. the teams that are currently dominating the top leagues and europe in the 2070's, do their squads look as good as those in the 2011-2015 quality-wise? Market values, attributes etc? Normally the longer you play the weaker the gameworld gets, just wanted to see if FM12 has any significant improvement in this area from last years game.

Trents Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 where is man utd! real madrid! Barcelona! fill us in on the big clubs! I should have mentioned that I only had all the English League loaded up. Man Utd have been ever present in the Premier League which they have won another 13 times but only won the Champions League twice, 2035&2036. More success in the Euro Cup which they have won 6 times. Managers have included Alex McLeish, Tony Pulis, Simon Grayson, John Arne Riise, Gareth Southgate and James Milner. Barca and Real both still top the Euro Club rankings and have had the lions share of Championship League wins along with AC Milan and Liverpool(although that was back in the 2020's) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushers82 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 "Wigan to drop down to Blue Square North by 2048" Good. I dislike Wigan. Apologies to all Wigan fans out there, but your club just annoys me as they rarely bring anything to the Premier League (my opinion). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

High finish of 5th Euro Cup. 6 appearances, quarter final in 2067 was their best attempt FA Cup. No win, lost to Chelsea in 2027/28 final League Cup.

Trents Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Quality! Where are Bradford City? League - Lots of bouncing around League 1 and 2 but flirted with the Championship on 3 occasions. Now back in Div 2 FA Cup - Not great. Best was a recent Semi Final lost on pens against Bournemouth in 2071/72 League Cup - Even Worse. One Quarter Final visit JPT - Couple of visits to the final. Lost against Cardiff and Cheltenham. So sorry, nothing exciting for you either. You also get Steve Kean as manager! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trents Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 oh and Leeds + Grimsby Leeds League - Popped into Prem for 1 season but mostly Champ/Div 1 Cups - No wins in either FA or League Darren Bent is a future manager Grimsby League - more misery. It's all about the non league. Lots of BQP and BQN. Even down to Northern League a couple of times Cups - Won FA Trophy back in 2012, few final losses after that.

Trents Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Can you tell me how Pompey have been doing? Very up and down. Actually it was down and up. A slippery slide down to the Blue Square South by 2036/37. 20 years of non league football for them. A recovery though. Between 2052 and 62 they surged back up to the Championship where they bounce between Champ and Div 1 ever since. No trophys apart from the league titles as they rose through the leagues. Plenty of final losses in the minor cups. Managers include Ian Holloway, Alan Pardew,, Bryan Robson, Peter Reid and Paul Dickov. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started bobbing between Leagues 1 and 2 but hit Champ in 2031 and Prem in 2040. Plenty of top division action since then. You actually lost 1-3 against Newport County in the 71/72 final, sorry. You did win the FA Cup in 2070/71 and the League Cup in 2043/44. The 2074/75 season was their best in the premier league, 7th place. I'll keep an eye on them as I plan to holiday again.

Nice to see my club doing so well in a save for a change. We now have a Russian owner in real life (not that I realised it had been reported officially) so maybe we can live up to FM's computations. I see you're in Farnborough too. I spent my late teens to early twenties studying at the very fashionable Farnborough Tech. I quite miss the town actually, even though it had no night life.
