[FM18] Portuguese Paradise - A Youth Only Challenge With União de Leiria

[Slipky]

 

A youth only challenge with one of my favorite teams on FM, União de Leiria. I had a successful save with them on FM14, lasting nine seasons.
I ended the save after an amazing 2021/2022 season where we won the Champions League at the Bernabeu, against Real Madrid, with a brace from academy prospect Victor Gil.

And now his manager profile!

Just thought it would be nice to use my favorite player in the FM14 save as manager.

Club info:

 

Now I'm going back to Leiria in order to emphasize youth development in the club, and get a golden generation to win the UCL again.

Winning the majority of games over the course of August and September.

Exceptional junior coaching and established youth recruitment. I'm happy. Very happy.

Flying out the blocks.

That's nice! The 6M cash injection certainly helped.

Good luck with them, had some fun in FM17, and now with the foreground sugar daddy they should be even more easy.

Didn't know about the sugar daddy thing, but hey, it won't make relying on youth easier, just quicker development of facilities

Out of interest, what skin are you using?

October - November update

All in all, a solid month which saw us progressing another two rounds in the Portuguese cup.

We got Arouca in the next round. They're ranked 7th in the second tier. A tough challenge to take but we'll give our best.

League Table:

We're doing good enough to keep the 1st place ours for now

Also - Got a new contract days before December.

[Slipky]

Easy enough for ya?
