DazRTaylor Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Greetings to you all! Having clocked up over 1,100 hours on FM this year, I feel the time is right to both try something a little different (for me) and to document it on here. I will be managing Camrose AFC in the Welsh seventh tier and I will only be using youth players produced by the club. I am using the database created by @RainbowzSo here we go. Gone are the days of endless stats that I used to produce, but it will still be a comprehensive thread. I will NOT be starting with full squads. In fact, I will be starting with only grey players.

DazRTaylor Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) I forgot how hard it was with only grey players. The youth intake cannot come quickly enough! Edited March 15, 2020 by DazRTaylor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby_McDonald Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Can you get relegated in that league Daz? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbowz Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Awesome seeing my DB being used for a long-term project. Best of luck. From my personal experience, this isn't an easy challenge. 1 hour ago, Nobby_McDonald said: Can you get relegated in that league Daz? Technically yes, but it's an inactive division below it, so it's just an insta-sacking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby_McDonald Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Daz needs a miracle with grey players then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuy600 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Exciting! I just started a challenge like that but in my own Dutch database, and even without relegation it's really rough to get some semblance of form going. Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazRTaylor Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 I am somehow top at Christmas. It is worth adding that there is not a single real player in the division though. We all have grey players! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbowz Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I thought it'd be impossible to build full squads for what is essentially Sunday league in Wales, so I didn't add any players to Level 7. Didn't want to get inaccurate data or give preference to any teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazRTaylor Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 My first intake is nearly here and I think I will do what @Jimbokav1971is doing and show the CA/PA. It fascinates me as to the quality of the players coming through in relation to your facilities etc. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazRTaylor Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) Youth Intake Day Season 2019/20 Camrose AFC With the club not having any players, we obviously have a "Golden Generation". Only time will tell if they are any good or not. You can see that in normal circumstances, the players are completely hopeless. I have a 5* CA who has a CA of just 5. No real injury prone players either. The four best players are below: Edited April 30, 2020 by DazRTaylor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazRTaylor Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 End of Season Review Season 2019/20 Camrose AFC League Table - With everyone having grey players, we managed to League Fixtures 1 & 2 - Nothing spectacular, though encouraging. Welsh Cup - We came a cropper at the first hurdle, losing on penalties to Llandrindod Wells. FAW Trophy - A decent cup run before succumbing to Pennar, in a narrow defeat. We hammered Newport Saints, who play in the tier above us, in the first round. Pembrokeshire Senior League Cup - We went out at the first time of asking, losing after extra time at home to Monkton, who play two leagues above us. Pembrokeshire Division Three Cup - We made it through to the semi final before a disappointing defeat to struggling Cosheston. Pre Season Friendlies - All home fixtures, we lost more than we won. Squad - Not good. Not good at all. Look at the CA! Squad Dynamics - I guess the only way is up? Transfers In - None, obviously. Transfers Out - None. Finances - We are losing money, despite being an amateur club. So cash is needed and fast. Key Players Colin Morris YP20A1 - Our best player with potential to improve significantly. Gavin Smolka YP20B2 - A centre half who could be a starter for years to come. Ryan Morgan YP20F6 - Another central defender who is an automatic starter. Toby Price YP20C3 - The striker has already started scoring goals. Kerry Garmey YP20L12 - Goalkeeper who is already at their full potential. Next Season Survival.
