Eight to One - A trip into the unknown

[mark wilson27]

So this is the fourth one in the series and the third one using club teams. Its running exactly as the previous one however I have decided to try using a different League. We are going further afield as we venture to Armenia using claassen's world pack database. I am using FM17 however with the Armenian League I have had to holiday a year so that their would be eight teams in the League (Please note that EvilDave recommended the league and let me know about the change in league formation after a season). This will be a trip into the unknown for most of us that aren't familiar with this countries league. Just a quick note though I have had to use in game editor to place the eight people involved into their sides. For some reason it wouldn't let me set up fresh managers on this database, therefore it means you will not have your win/loss record at the end of tenures. I have made it though that you all have the same manager attributes at the start of the season

The past winners and stories are listed below, can tenthreeleader make it a hat-trick of wins.

Fifteen to One – A quest to be the best (Celtic_1967)

Fifteen to One MKII – Who will beat Celtic_1967 (tenthreeleader)

An International Knockout (tenthreeleader)

The rules are simple:-

If your sacked your out

If you resign your out

If you take over an International club then your out, as this is a club management game (deal with it)

If you move to another club then your still in

Right lets see who's involved and who they have taken over

BenArsenal will be taking over Ararat who are quoted at 45-1 to win the league. The pundits reckon a placing of 6th is the best he can hope for

CFuller will be taking over Pyunik who are quoted at 19-1 to win the league and a placing of 5th is what they are expected to get.

chesterfan2 has taken over Alashkert who is the favourite to win the league with odds of 7-1 to do it. So in other words the pressure is all on this man.

EvilDave who recommended the league has taken over Erebuni. However his side are quoted at 200-1 to win the league and are favourites for the drop. Maybe his inner knowledge of these far away leagues will help him

mark wilson27 will be in charge of Gandzasar who are quoted at 17-2 to win the league and the pundits reckon a placing of 3rd will be expected

salkster2102 will be taking over Kotayk who are quoted at 75-1 to win the league and are second favourites for the drop with a placing of 7th. This could be a blessing in disguise for the first season

tenthreeleader will be in charge of Banants who have quoted at 14-1 to top the league. His side are expected to finish in 4th place.

WLKRAS will be in charge of Shirak who are quoted at 8-1 to win the league and are 2nd favourites. The pressure could be on from the start for our Dutch superstar

[CFuller]

Pyunik, nice - one of the few Armenian teams I've actually heard of! 

[tenthreeleader]

Proud Eagles!

Let's see how we do. Carry on, sir.

Anyway, look forward to my Armenian adventure. As that famous ex-Soviet star Borat would say, Great success!
