dafuge Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Canvey Island - Barclays Premier League - 2073/74 We are still in transition as I slowly sell off the older players in favour of youth products. League Table - we threw away points as I fielded the youngsters, but the title was never in doubt. Community Shield - this was a pretty even match. UEFA Super Cup - we made the best of our chances to win this one. FIFA Club World Cup - a lot closer than usual. Capital One Cup - we somehow threw away a two goal lead against ten men. FA Cup - we came from behind to lift the cup. UEFA Champions League - a couple of slip ups but we turned on the style in the final. Squad - 12/24 are products of our youth system. Key Player Profiles: Jan Sedlacek - top scorer. Juan Pablo Vázquez - still quality, but getting on a bit. Evani Talea - most valuable player. Kingsley Mohammed - new youth product, will replace our backup keeper. Víctor Slaughter - another new youth product, with a fantastic name.

noikeee Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 It's not really the winning that keeps me interested, it's the long term stuff like transfers and player development. Transitioning to an all-youth squad is a bit of a change at the moment though.I'm still playing with those same tactics, here are the team instructions. I imagine I might struggle playing like this with weaker players. Cheers, yeah I guess you need the players, but it's always nice to see what works in everyone else's games, doesn't mean I want to copy the whole setup but you can get some tips from that. "Victor Slaughter". Disappointing his aggression is only 11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Canvey Island - Barclays Premier League - 2074/75 We are getting closer to the all-youth squad, but it is taking a while to get enough decent players through the ranks. League Table - no problem winning the title, despite fielding the youth a number of times. Community Shield - pretty one sided. UEFA Super Cup - this one was fairly even. FIFA Club World Cup - not quite the usual demolition. Capital One Cup - we were lucky to get as far as we did. FA Cup - we lost out to Championship Brentford. UEFA Champions League - the kids got hammered in the group stage, but we got our revenge in the final. Squad - 14/24 are products of our youth system. Key Player Profiles: Jan Sedlacek - a bad injury ruined his season. Juan Pablo Vázquez - despite his age he excelled in the main striker role. Evani Talea - most valuable player, by some distance. Carl Kempton - the best youth product, just a shame he plays in a position we have covered. Richard Finnie - the other youth product, means we could start next season with a 16 year old goalie.

dafuge Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Will you keep the save going until FM16 to see if you can get that all-native squad? That's the plan, although I may run out of time. I'm up to about just over half, but I'm still unable to field a youth product XI without playing people badly out of position. The current success I'm having is still mostly down to the key bought players still in the first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Canvey Island - Barclays Premier League - 2075/76 The news I had been waiting a long time for finally came at the end of last season, we were finally going to be moving into the huge 112555 capacity Dafuge Arena. League Table - we won it easily, despite playing the kids in a number of matches. Community Shield - pretty one sided. UEFA Super Cup - the scoreline flattered them. FIFA Club World Cup - what a match! Capital One Cup - a straight set of wins. FA Cup - and another one. UEFA Champions League - we blew it, making a mess of the final. Squad - 15/24 are products of our youth system. Finances - we could be in a bit of trouble over the next two years before the stadium opens. Key Player Profiles: Jan Sedlacek - top scorer again in a return to form. Juan Pablo Vázquez - another great season for the ageing striker. Stuart Timms - probably our best youth product. Evani Talea - most valuable player, still. Raheim Weekes - new youth product, he's not a DM but I'm getting desperate.

dafuge Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Canvey Island - Barclays Premier League - 2076/77 The transition to the squad full of youth products is well under way as we went into our penultimate season in Dafuge Stadium. League Table - we had a terrible run at the end of the season, mostly due to the youth players being given a chance to play. Community Shield - a fairly comfortable win. Capital One Cup - we were so close to getting knocked out by Plymouth, but went on to lift the cup. FA Cup - we had a shocker at Chesterfield. UEFA Champions League - our poor away form eventually cost us in the latter stages. Squad - I signed quite a few youth players this year to provide backup, but 17/25 of the first team are youth products. Finances - not quite the disaster I was fearing. Key Player Profiles: Jan Sedlacek - top scorer as usual. Juan Pablo Vázquez - decent as always, but time for him to move on. Stuart Timms - a brilliant creative forward. Evani Talea - most valuable player. Iain Maybanks - he may need to be the main striker one day.

dafuge Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 Canvey Island - Barclays Premier League - 2077/78 I made the decision that I was going to sell of the last few players and open the new stadium with a squad of just youth products, so this was going to be my last season with a string squad full of stars. League Table - this was fairly close, but we won with two games to spare. Community Shield - a comfortable win. Capital One Cup - Spurs ran us close, but we went on to win the cup. FA Cup - this wasn't as easy as we lost out at Wembley. UEFA Champions League - despite a really shaky group stage we lifted the trophy for the first time in a few years. Squad - there are six players left who are not products of our youth system, they will be missed next season. Finances - the finances look pretty decent. Key Player Profiles: Jan Sedlacek - top scorer again in his final season with us. Davide Santoro - probably the player we will miss the most. Stuart Timms - possibly the best supporting striker I've ever had. Stefan Arndt - another player we will miss. Karlton Rhodes - the new youth player might find himself in the first team next season.

edtheguy Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 That's the plan, although I may run out of time. I feel the clock ticking myself right now. I've only been playing FM for a couple years but one of my long term saves in FM15 has seen AFC Fylde go from conference to European Champions. I'm at the start of the '31-32 season now and we are still playing in the original 2014 stadium (AKA Cow Pasture) seating 11,000 after all possible expansions. I just got the new stadium announcement (the board never aggreed to my requests, but they finally decided to build one on their own...) but it won't be completed until the start of the '33-34 season... My other two long term managers just retired so I can hopefully complete the two plus seasons and actually see Fylde play in a real stadium (at home).... Anyway, nice island - er - stadium.... and I'm not worried, even an allegedly senile dafuge will out-manage his competitors! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Canvey Island - Barclays Premier League - 2078/79 The 112555 capacity Dafuge Arena was officially opened, the last few key players were sold off and we went into our first season with a squad entirely made up of club youth products. We badly lacked experience and quality in a lot of positions, so this season was certainly going to be interesting. League Table - the run has ended, but I was delighted to finish 2nd. We spent a lot of the season around 5th but made a late charge for the title. Unfortunately our from fell apart and a late slump left us hanging on to 2nd. Community Shield - our first 'competitive' match with the all-youth squad didn't quite go to plan. UEFA Super Cup - this gave me great hope, a win against PSG was huge. FIFA Club World Cup - I've no idea how me managed to win this from the position we were in. Capital One Cup - we did well to get this far, but the semi final was too much for the fringe players. FA Cup - we just couldn't win away from home, which eventually cost us at Wembley. UEFA Champions League - we had a great group stage but struggled in the knockout stages. Squad - there are huge gaps in the squad, like the lack of a proper striker. Finances - the income from the new stadium has taken care of the finances. Key Player Profiles: Stuart Timms - he was top scorer, despite playing in a supporting position. Iain Maybanks - I'm trying to mould him into a striker du to lack of other options. Raheim Weekes - he is going to be so important for the club. Mitchell Reed - a great looking new youth player who might have to play on the wing. Alan Cartwright - another new youth signing who has some potential.

Jimbokav1971 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 dafuge. I'm aware that next week s half-term and FM16 isn't going to be out at least for a week so you have potentially quite a few more seasons to bang out. If you don't mind, would you please take a pic of your Youth intake each season until you finish and include it with your end of season report, (pretty please). The info I am looking for is as follows. Name. Best position. Position. Nationality. Height. Age. Role. Ability. Potential. 2nd Nationality. Personality. It would also be really great if you could include that in your FM16 updates even though the save might not be Youth based. [Edit] And a pic of your HoYD would go down well too. Cheers.

I think I've covered the first team squad but I'm happy to post screenshots of any other players if you want them. Saying that, my save is very much at the sink or swim stage.

dafuge Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 Canvey Island - Barclays Premier League - 2079/80 This was our second season as an all-youth squad, we were hoping to go one better than lasts season and win the league. League Table - we were so close, but blew it at the end of the season. We even managed to slip into 3rd on the last day. Capital One Cup - we got battered by Rotherham. FA Cup - this was a bit of a shock as I fielded a strong team. UEFA Champions League - we had a few good results but struggled against the stronger teams. Squad - we still have no strikers. Finances - we are making a decent profit. Key Player Profiles: Stuart Timms - injuries forced me to make him the main striker, which worked quite well. David Dezon - our second top scorer was a midfielder. Raheim Weekes - great player, but so many red cards. Víctor Slaughter - he's probably our best defender now. Cosimo Di Matteo - a new left back with some potential.

Jimbokav1971 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 No problem then, that would be easy enough.His personality is balanced. Any tips on attributes to look for in an improvement on him? To be honest, that part of the game is still largely a mystery to me, (despite the (GIB) save). I know you have a preference for determination over specific personalities, (or at least you used to). If that's the case then you need to look to improve the Det rating in the next one. My personal preference is to have a hugely professional squad, (my San Marino one was classed as "Ultra Professional" in the end, but if you are not going to look seriously into that then there is little point in worrying about it. If I could, my HoYD would have Model Pro personality, but sometimes they just aren't available in the quality that you want. Certainly I would prioritise all the Pro personalities and then the Determined ones ahead of others. I would personally look for the following in terms of attributes, (but as we go lower down the list I become less sure. WWY, JPP, DET, MOT, JPA, MOT. You personally should prioritise DET higher if you are still playing the same way as you used to. You also want to make sure that he is general rather than a specific coaching style. (Yours is attacking). Also, I know you play with a tactic that you call a wide 442, (or something like that), but you need to check that the preferred formation that the coach uses is actually going to give the best chance to produce players in the position that you want to play them in. 4 at the back is great because it should cut down on the number of wing-backs, but on the other hand, considering the amount of goals you score, to you play with cwb's in the full back position? Anyway, whatever your formation is called, if you play with a midfielder in the DM or AM line, then a HoYD with a preferred formation of 442 is not going to produce the best players who play at either DM or AMC. He will produce them, but the chances are that they will be lower down the pecking order in terms of both CA and PA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting because AMC has been the most prolific position for my youth for years now. So much so that I've had to retrain them into wingers and even strikers. On the other hand, we have had barely any decent proper wingers and I'm still waiting for a striker with decent potential! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be that way.Do you have "Develop youth players" philosophy in your contract? I'm guessing that it's not a philosophy that has been agree upon. I must admit, (and remember that I am still playing FM14), that I have found the board amazingly supportive once I have the correct philosophies in place. You have to remember, (and I'm sure that dafuge knows this), but the board will have their own philosophies too. They might be prepared to let you run with things if they trust you. (as they obviously do), and this will slowly alter their philosophies, but the reality is that if I was dafuge's Chairman and had been used to him going out and buying the best, (possibly young), players, and that had brought me success, that I would have bought into that and be keen for it to continue. To test that out I am going to create an unemployed holiday Manager and then resign from my Red Imps position. Then I am going to see what they want when they try and recruit me. [Retires] So, my only philosophies before I retired were as follows. Develop the players using the clubs youth system. I "think" this has been then only philosophy I have ever had at the club considering I knew it was going to be a Youth Only save at the time. If I leek at the advert that the club used after my retirement, they mnow have 3 philosophies. (so 2 new one's that I managed to subdue as Manager). Develop players using the clubs Youth system. (well you would expect that to be there based on our success and our facilities). Sign young players for the first team. (Well while I don't sign any players at all, I do often have a young squad because our team is constantly improving year on year, so it makes sense). Play attacking football. (Well this is a little bit of a surprise). I'm a bit odd in that I'm more than likely to defensive rather than attacking, even recently I had tactics set to just defensive and counter, (so attacking is all their idea). They have their own minds. I wojuld agree that dafuge needs to try and coerce them using the agreed philosophies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noikeee Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Last 2 seasons have certainly been a change. The fans must think you're going senile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 I'd never even thought about trying to get the board to agree to a philosophy involving the youth system, seems really obvious now! I'll have a go at asking for that next time I renew my contract (assuming I get to do that!). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 Just for Jimbo This could be my last one, so it's a shame that winger didn't come a few years earlier when I needed him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 Canvey Island - Barclays Premier League - 2080/81 This was season three under the youth only policy, and so far the board have stuck by me despite the lack of trophies. League Table - we were in real danger of losing out on Champions League qualification, but the fixtures played into our hands in the run in. Capital One Cup - nothing to see here. FA Cup - or here. UEFA Champions League - we had a good group stage but collapsed against better opposition. Squad - we still have no strikers. Finances - raking it in. Key Player Profiles: Stuart Timms - missed quite a bit of the season due to injury, but still our top scorer. Iain Maybanks - he's not quite lived up to his potential, but he's still pretty decent. Raheim Weekes - not one red card, which is crazy considering last season. David Dezon - the quality midfielder. Shane Kersey - the new youth product.
