Carninho Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 the obvious (at least to me) next step is to try the same from across the pond with an MLS franchise. See if you can win the World Club Championship. Shame you cant add teams/franchises into a savegame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxToBox Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Aye, it's a shame, it'd be interesting to pop an MLS Monster up, but a bit pointless to just take over any old MLS club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about a Chinese monster club? In FM17 the top Chinese teams have finally been given financial muscle! If you use the pack linked below you can get NINE (9!) league levels to China, that should give you a real challenge... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the--dud Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 What I've kinda noticed playing in the Belgian 6th division is that player attributes seem to "bottom out" at a certain point. I guess their CA can only go so low. Even in the Belgian 6th division you most commonly see players with most attributes at 6-11, with a few skills at 12-15 if you're lucky. I think basically you get the same players as what is generated when you play a "gray team" in a first round cup or something similar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

noikeee Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 So is this challenge completed and career over? With Man Utd coming 5th in the league I was now getting curious as to who would you play in the Champions League final next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much, there's not much else that can be done with it unless I switch to a youth only challenge which would probably be too easy in Germany with untold riches a maxed out academy and already a handful of world class homegrown youth. As for the CL, I'd almost have put money on it being Man City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManUtd1 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Dukla Praha save, the target being to have non-domestic kit sales in excess of...err...$2 million? I love getting that stat each year.

WeegieFM Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 @BoxToBox what an absolutely sensational career! Baubner is probably the best regen I have ever seen!

Thinking now just a regular save in one of the non big-5 Euro countries, like Switzerland, Austria, Bulgaria, Hungary, Croatia, etc, or even a youth-only in one of them.

That's pretty special Cheers, the most amazing thing I think, was Jake Trevino, arrived in the first summer at 18 in the third division, took the starting spot, and was a key player for the entire 11 seasons. It was a close cut thing too, as he was chased at points by Juventus and Man Utd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceching You Out Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Well done @BoxToBox! Only trouble is you've finished much too quickly . My vote (I may be a bit biased) is for a youth-only challenge in an unfamiliar league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceching You Out Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 If you're not a grinder, you may not want to go that tiny unless you're looking for a few decades with a single club. But there's a lot to be said for somewhere like Poland, Belarus, or Slovenia. The other countries you mentioned are good options too if you're looking for more of a head start. Norway isn't a bad shout either -- Oslo City FC has always sounded like a blast given they're a heavily multi-cultural club that would bring through a lot of African and Middle Eastern dual nationalities. They're currently just outside the playable divisions, but that could be remedied by downloading a custom league or reloading after holidaying until they appear.

BoxToBox Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 I don't mind grinding, at worst I could do so much time to a grindy save alongside poking around a more normal save on FMT. I'm just indecisive as heck, even when picking a club from just the big countries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxToBox Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 I downloaded an extra countries pack, and I've loaded up the Faroe Islands, so hope to have a thread up today/tomorrow. At the moment trying to figure out how to do all the bookkeeping(and what needs recording), as I've never done a save like this before. Well, I've done the odd youth save, with Crewe and Heerenveen, but never with a thread, bookkeeping, tagging and the like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
