Makoto Nakamura Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Welcome, to my first save of FM19, my beta save which will be a youth only challenge with Athletic Bilbao! Whilst this may be youth only I have loaded Spain as playable and every other nation in Europe as view-only with a database size of 58,000 players to get a detailed level of European players, I will also be documenting any major transfers that happen during each transfer window. The aim? Try and win silverware, develop Basque players, new and existing and see how far we can go before the Fraud Thread kicks off! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 2018/19 Pre-Season A solid pre-season, should have beaten NYRB though. The aim is to qualify for Europe. The DoF lets one player leave, I may have to put a stop to him dealing with outgoing transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbokav1971 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 This is an absolute nightmare. I have started a thread with the same team as @Makoto Nakamuraon the same day as he has. On the plus side, he will probably get his 1st intake through at about the same time as I press continue for the 1st time and then he will be having stadiums names after him just as I am being sacked mid-way through the 2nd season. What's that saying about "imitation being the greatest form of flattery"? Yeah, well no. In all seriousness though, I would have picked someone else had I known you were also managing them, but maybe this is actually a good thing, (because I don't mind being shown up at all).

y0lo Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I like the look of Oihan Sancet - he has attributes in all the right places. That is the kind of player I would promote to the first team, to benefit from enhanced training and fast development, but I am like a Louis van Gaal madman. Villalibre is another player I like the look of, has the makings of a complete forward (passing the only weakness - but not too bad), but he is at a crucial age to develop and could benefit from a higher level of football.

Both of them can definitely have a future here that's for sure, Asier Villalibre is the only reserve to make any first appearances and even then it's only been 2 but he did score a goal. 53 minutes ago, Minuy600 said: I know it's a bit early to ask, but how's the first impressions?

makovn Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Has Aduriz been declining? He is kind of old but yet seem to fire an incredible amount of goals.
