Hootieleece Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Hadn't checked in in a while...been busy in the mountains of France...Youth built teams often get lucky and promoted over their heads especially when there is a Big Step up in talent and resources. It's really hard to win when one player on the other team makes more in wages than your entire (including Reserves and Youth teams) Team! Happened to me with ASSE in an earlier save. Neymar alone made more than my entire team. He spent on a night out what my top goal scorer (youth product) made in a year! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobby_McDonald Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Eighth after ten games still gives a decent chance of automatic promotion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Nobby, it does indeed, but I feel the top two are just too strong. We are sixth after eighteen games so definitely in with a shout. There is only two points between fourth and tenth though.

DazRTaylor Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 So this save has been on the back burner for a while and I am once again getting the itch to play FM. I have invested a lot into this save and it will be a shame to waste it, so to speak. So am going to try this again, with this save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazRTaylor Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 Youth Candidates Season 2032/33 FC United of Manchester After the superb intake last year, it is back down to earth with a bang. Not very good at all, despite being promised another "Golden Generation". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazRTaylor Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 End of Season Review Season 2032/33 FC United of Manchester League Table - After the disaster of last season, we rebounded well, finishing fourth and in the play offs. We had a chance of automatic promotion going into the last league game, but it wasn't to be. League Fixtures 1, 2 & 3 - A decent season overall and one I would of taken before the season began. Play Offs - The play offs proved a step too far as we were outclassed by Nottingham Forest over two legs. It didn't help that I was without numerous first team players due to injury, however. F. A. Cup - A tough draw saw the club eliminated by Liverpool in the third round. Carabao Cup - We were knocked out by Leicester City in the second round, losing on penalties. Pre Season Friendlies - A very mixed bag, though we did record a decent win over Tottenham Hotspur. Squad - We are getting better, but still a long way short of what we need. Squad Dynamics - Very good, as you would expect after a decent season. Transfers In - None. Transfers Out - I managed to hold on to my players this summer so there was no major departures. Youth Candidates - A poor crop, with Paul Treacy YP33A193 being the best of a bad bunch. Finances - Extremely healthy, largely due to the Premier League money. Key Players Lewis Thomas YP26A81 - Now the best player at the club, the right winger had a brilliant season. Joseph O'Connell YP25B66 - Playing at right back, he has a tremendous understanding with Lewis Thomas YP26A81. Lee Brown YP29C131 - The striker has dislodged the club record goal scorer, Anthony Connelly YP23F38 from the starting eleven. Ryan Jackson YP23E37 - Now a veteran having been with the club for eleven seasons, the holding midfielder dictates play in front of the back four. Ronnie Browning YP22G23 - The club record holder for number of appearances, the goalkeeper finally has some competition so may lose him place in the coming seasons. Next Season Another promotion push will be the objective. I don't think we are strong enough for a top two place just yet, but you never know.
