Benjoe Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 Oh, and one last thing about Masika. I signed him as a grey player from our u21s. I've actually signed quite a few grey players as their stats are usually well rounded, but of course not good by any means, but sometimes they are actually better than my very one-dimensional regens.

Benjoe Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 A spider’s cobweb isn’t only its sleeping spring but also its food trap In the midst of November Nelson and Mumbu could celebrate not having lost a match in 10 straight games. Who would have thought that would happen? Their team had played admirably and a times created magical moments. Against the Siteki Warrios especially two of their three goals deserved an extra replay. Their good form of play ment that they were now occupying on of the two direct promotion spots in the league. The only two spots allowing promotion. Jelly Belly Umbelebele was tied with them on points as they managed to keep hold of Mhlambanyatsi as they equalized with 10 minutes left to play. Next test for the Rovers is a match against first placed Shieselweni Vultures. The only professional team in all of Swaziland... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHAT'S NEXT?! This wasn't even chasing. IIRC I saw at least three teams in the lower division that used this formation at the start of the season. Haven't checked if they've kept it though. I think it all has something to do with the regen managers. Their preferred formations are (to some degree I'd imagine) random so the 4-3-3 would come up occasionally, contra the real life managers where I suppose few managers prefer it. I've been pleasantly surprised too! Sometimes it's really decent football, but some of the goals we concede... 2 hours ago, lukafanzer said: Great man! Cheers!

I found the most important key to success(besides tactics), was to not choose the "best" players. But it was finding the players who had the highest Natural Fitness AND Stamina combined, who were also good players all around. The packed schedule, intense competition, clubs wearing players down, all meant we could compete far better than normal. We knocked out Germany because their players were exhausted and ours were still fit.

That's a quite nice succes. I assume you fought for bronze medals that year in the world cup? That hint is something I will consider once I bag the first NT job! Funny though, to knock out Germany that way, since I'd expect them to both a big squad to allow rotation, and also players with exactly those kinds of stats in high levels. It does still make sense, especially with some of the African nations where sometimes you have a few solid stars and then a lot of players at somewhat same level. Their NF and Stamina could easily be something that separates the mediocre from the World Cup beaters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They play alot of friendlies and everyone's now tired. Then FM thinks, "I have Boateng at 80% energy or Badstuber at 90%. I'm picking Boateng, he's a much better defender. He's also valued alot higher, puts in better ratings, etc". So, like Muller, who as you said would have alot of NF and Stamina, has now played like every club game and every National game. He's tired and jaded. So their 85-90% starting 11 is against my 100% starting 11, and it adds up over time. I set my players to sit back, go slower, while they run themselves ragged.

Benjoe Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Three days in the life of Nelson Mandela Jr. Mkhonta, the topscorer from Umbelebele joins the Rovers. He is a leader, Nelson wants him to tutor youngsters. Like the leader Mkhonta is he tells Nelson to bugger off. Later that same month Nelson hold three separate talks with the same player in the span of two days. Charles Dube is upset, he wants game time. Nelson at first wants to give Dube the game time and tells him to expect to get played in the coming games, the next one is at the 2nd of January. Dube is happy for a few hours but then returns. Nelson is confused, 'Didn't I just speak to him? Mumbu, come help?' But Mumbu is far away. Faced, once again, with an upset Dube he pads Dube on the back and tells him, he's sorry and that he will make it up to him. Dube leaves smiling, but Nelson got a weird feeling. Maybe the umncweba (biltong) he ate for lunch wasn't good after all. Next morning Nelson once again meet Dube. He is crying. And screaming. Nelson panics - 'MUMBUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!' But Mumbu is far away. Nelson will have to do this on his own. Dube accuses Nelson of multiple things and finishes the sentence with 'You're a ugly twat, and it looks like you ate the entire gnomish race from which you originate!' Nelson didn't understand a lot of the words, but he knew he should be upset. He hammered his hand into the table which split the table in half. The wood was molded and would soon have split without touching. The effect was the same, however, Dube got scared. Nelson told him to get the **** out of his office and go train with the kids. Dube left the office but from outside Nelson paper thin door Dube's voice was heard 'I got friends in this club! This won't be the end of this!

Benjoe Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 A spider’s cobweb isn’t only its sleeping spring but also its food trap Prior to the troubles with Dube Mhlambanyatsi Rovers had had other issues to be concerned about. Despite being the team taking the most shots (on target, 100, 2nd Shiselweni with 88) and having the most possession in the league (53.95%, 2nd Shiselweni with 53.67%) they found themselves knocked out of the FA Cup by Mmhlume United and 3rd placed in the league after Shiselweni and Umbelebele. They lost out to Shiselweni 2-0, who despite being professional and first placed had only three fans attending the game. This game was followed by another two defeats making this their longest streak of losses during Nelson’s short regime. Something Nelson hadn’t noticed became obvious now. Mumbu hadn’t been humming the lullaby. What was the reason for this lunacy? He quickly, as quick as this humungous man can be, asked or rather screamed Mumbu straight into the face. Mumbu broke down crying. His mother has recently passed away. That has made the lullaby a very sad one to hum as she was the one who used to hum is for him whenever he was sick. Nelson used his Motivating of 4 and Man Management of 3 and held the worst motivational speech in a long time. “You know, fartface. Sometimes people die, and that’s **** and all… But, ya know. You get over it sooner or later, right? That lullaby is only going to help you in the future. You’ll hate yourself if we say didn’t get promoted this season just because you felt to sad to not hum it, right?” Mumbu left the office and didn’t return. Until the next game where he was all ready and hummed the lullaby again. This undoubtedly created a 3-games win streak. Their form was still shaky, however. Still sitting at third, still not in promotion yet. Following the dispute with Dube they evenly lost 4-1 to Hub Sundowns. A team they’d beaten 3-1 earlier in the season. Nelson was quick to accuse Dube of some sort of Voodoo. Would Nelson and Mumbu be able to stop Dube's voodoo or would this black magic tear their season apart?

Benjoe Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 He that beats the drum for the mad man to dance is no better than the mad man himself First suggestion came from Mumbu. ”Boss, what if he only cursed one certain thing? Like a formation, or a player?” Nelson ignored what Mumbu suggested, but moments later, he came up with a brilliant idea. “Say, Mumbu, we used another formation. If Dube used black magic it would perhaps only work on a certain formation?” If we changed system to something he’d never expect then we could manage to win again!” Mumbu, looking confused, nodded in agreement. Thus was a 4-3-1-2 formation created. They didn’t know what they wanted it to do. They just wanted to break the curse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the three fans - the only fan of the Mhlambanyatsi Rovers got so excited at the 1-3 scoring that he got undressed and streaked the entire pitch.

Benjoe Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 He that beats the drum for the mad man to dance is no better than the mad man himself With the vicious curse put upon the Mhlambanyatsi Rovers most certainly well out of the way Shiselweni Vultures was visiting Mbabane to meet the Rovers. The Vultures uses the same formation as Umbelebele did. 'HA! Easy 3 points!" Nelson chuffed. 8th Minute: The Vultures gets awarded a free kick in Rover territory. It goes into dangerous grounds and a Vulture gets a feet on it It's saved by Mdluli in the Rover goal! 16th Minute: A well timed through ball splits through the Rovers defence and Mdlovu finds himself with a one-on-one with Mdluli. Mdluli saves it, but it falls right back out to Mdlovu who hits it first time! Mdluli is beaten and the Shiselweni Vultures takes the lead. 0-1. 25th Minute: The Rovers are seeking an equalizer and after a smart one-two Metsi finds himself with a one-on-one. It's parried over the goal by the keeper! 28th Minute: S'khonde sends in a cross aiming for Mkhonta and it looks good. It's 1-1! 34th Minute: Corner for the Vultures. It's crossed for the near post and no Rover players are moving an inch after the ball. The Vultures take the lead again! 1-2.

Benjoe Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 He that beats the drum for the mad man to dance is no better than the mad man himself Second half, Mhlambanyatsi Rovers 1 - 2 Shiselweni Vultures 49th Minute: The Vultures are at it again, like Vultures nature, feasting on the weak and wounded. Mdlovu finds himself in the box with the ball with a couple of options in the box. He finds Sibandze who easily puts it in for a 1-3 lead. The Rovers are bleeding badly. 54th Minute: ... Vultures ... something something ... goal. 1-4... This aint fun for the Rovers. 56th Minute: Just a few minutes later Hlatshwayo, left back for the Rovers, breaks through and sends a cross in. 2-4! Well, let's not pretend this is close. 70th Minute: Mhkonta sends a cross in, Vilakati is on it first! 3-4! Now it's getting interesting again! 80th Minute: Having closed down well Vilakati have lots of space to run at goal. Vilakati takes the shot, but Dlamini in goal saves it with one hand, but it's not over! The ball comes back out and Vilakati is hungry! Vilakati is too quick and places in goal for the equalizer! 4-4!!! Third score from Vilakati in the span of less than 30 minutes! 86th Minute: Vultures on the ball... M. Dlamini with the ball outside the box. He decides to have a crack at it! But it goes over! Still 4-4. The game ends 4-4 too! Phew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also just left the apartment so can only quote this post that tells a little about it. :) On 17/4/2017 at 15:33, Benjoe said: Game Setup As I wanted to play in the African continent with a journeyman save the only available league - the South African Premier League - wasn't going to be enough. I considered creating all sorts of leagues my self but luckily I found, that @lukafanzer had made a terrific pack of a lot of the African leagues. I also found a pack consisting of 4 Kenyan leagues made by Ouma. As my main character originates from Swaziland I also wanted this league. I couldn't really find a pack with this league, so I decided to make it myself. I am absolutely trash in the Editor as I haven't touched the Editor for 4 years at least so it took a lot longer than it should have to create the league but I think it works now. I created the Premier League, and the Lower Division with a Cup and a Super Cup to go with. I wanted to keep the same amount of teams in the leagues as irl (12 in each) so I had to create 3 new teams to have enough for the lower Division. These are: Hhohho Hornets, Shiselweni Vultures and Siteki Warriors. CAF African Leagues FM16 by @lukafanzer - http://www.fmscout.com/a-african-leagues-cups-fm16-dd.htmlKenya leagues 2016 by Ouma - http://www.fmscout.com/a-kenya-league-system-fm16.htmlSwaziland Leagues and cups – Created by myself As I will be starting without a job, I can't know for sure if I'll ever manage the Swazi league, but their reputation is very, very low, so who knows. I also have some guidelines for the save. Save Guidelines: · Tactics will be my own creations, and will be adapted to the level I’m playing at – keeping it simple when club is Amateur and I have no coaching badges i.e. · I am NEVER allowed to use the Player Search function. I will have to use scouts, agent offers, different in-game media news and such to find players who can join us. · I am NEVER allowed to use the Staff Search either. Job adverts will be placed and if any in-game media news should be relevant to staff I might allow that to be used too. Not using the Players Search or Staff Search function is going to be a ***** for me as I treasure it highly in normal saves but for the sake of the challenge and in the LLM spirit this is how it will be. I don’t think there are any other things I need to say, otherwise it’ll come up along the road. Hope you’ll enjoy this project, and I hope it doesn’t end up in flames within the first year or so!

Benjoe Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Oh! Don't think I've mentioned this before but should I receive any offers from teams outside of the African continent I will NOT accept it or even consider it. Africa is the only continent I will be managing in during this save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
