dariuszelvys Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 In a move being dubbed as massive surprise by many, the Enfield Town board have named Darius Želvys as their new manager. First season i'm praying for survival. Come on Enfield! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually takes a while to start getting these for me! I am studying for my C license as well in preseason of the first year and one of my coaches is studying for an upgrade.

Farsley Celtic are a bit of a throwback club and I have a good friend from Witton so those would probably be my choices. Going to do a few reloads to see if one pops up, if I can't get any of these and someone else has had a bit of luck, I would appreciate if you could send me the save file. So after reloading for most of yesterday i have given up on Tooting and Mitcham! I managed to have Shaw Lane pop and so i will start this challenge with them. If any wants the save file i have used a large database with all English leagues loaded Heres the save file https://www.mediafire.com/file/6m8bxqb9zzhi68p/Defuges challenge shaw lane.fm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not possible, Touch players might as well use only the available players in the db. Just to clarify this point. To be honest, I've no idea how to create a ddt file any more. I'm not even sure how they work. Just go ahead and play with the closet database you can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said I think it's gonna be a no but figured it's worth an ask just in case It seems a shame not to have it in the game, but it would make things slightly easier for you in terms of the challenge.

XaW Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Well, I'm half way into the season and things are not look good at the moment. 23 games in and the result is 3 wins, 8 draws and 12 losses. Second to last at the moment, 6 points of safety. I have hope to turn it around, but it's looking bleak. I don't know why we started so good and then have bombed. At least we aren't getting thumped, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upside Down Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 The board is concerned by the lack of support I have from the players.

The_Gato_In_Goal Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Shaw Lane - 2018/19 Always going to be a hard first season, but I feel like we could've done much better. Things started well and we were comfortable mid table, only a few points off playoffs, until December. After that, the goals dried up even though I had been playing a narrow 4-3-3. I tried switching to the more standard 4-4-2 to grind out results, but that led to getting shutout almost every game, so I switched back. We were able to win a couple times towards the end of the season to make sure relegation was never a threat. It was tough at the beginning of the year because there was no wage budget available and I couldn't get the older players off the wages until this next season. Hopefully, a big club restructure will put us in a much better position for next year. Vanarama North - Like I said, decent enough, next year should be better. FA Trophy - Not a very good showing as we lost in the 1st round to a good AFC Telford side. FA Cup - Good run in the FA Cup making it to the first round before losing to Colchester. Transfers - A couple of good signings, 41 year old Gary Jones played surprisingly well from the midfield. Squad - Need to overhaul the age in this side (our best 2 midfielders are 41 and 38) and we have 2 strikers aged 33 and 34, one who didn't play at all and the other who played out of necessity, making a combined 725 p/w. Finances - Yeah not very good, but welcome to this challenge. Key Player Profiles: Gary Jones - Did not expect this man to score 8 from midfield, but it was a pleasant surprise. Ryan Qualter - Played well for a 17th place team's defense. David Norris - More proof that our strikers couldn't score and we needed old midfielders. Chib Chilaka - The best of a bad strikeforce.
