[FM20] The year is 1988, and we're taking a peak behind the curtain.

r/MapPorn - [OC] Actual map of 1988 Europe I found in my parent’s basement.

It's been a while since I've been on the forums, but I feel like this could be the save to reignite my love for FM, if so then I have @Wolf_pd to thank for his epic Eastern Bloc database which is located here: 

Effectively the year, whilst being 2019, is actually 1988. Before the fall of the Berlin Wall and before the fall of the USSR. Football was a more equal playing field as money wasn't being flung around everywhere on every Tom, Dick or Harry and even the most lax leagues had a 5 foreign player limitation. There was the Champions Cup, Cup Winners Cup, UEFA Cup & Intertoto Cup to contend for continentally as well.

This save will be a one club save, at least that's the way I'm seeing it at the moment.

This is the setup, all Eastern European nations are playable with China and the Western European nations loaded as View-Only. I'll be managing in Albania, and more specifically the Kategoria e Tretë, the 3rd tier of Albania and also the lowest ranked league I can manage in. The aim will be to reach the top of Albania first whilst relying solely on Albanian players, since, even in the top league no club in Albania is allowed to sign any foreigners! After that we'll make an assault on Europe!

We're starting with no qualifications and the lowest of the low, I've also set myself as an Albanian manager.

And here's the club, KS Shkëndija Tiranë who are predicted dead last in their group and have a stadium capacity of only 200. Despite being predicted dead last they actually have some pretty good facilities, and judging by their wikipedia page that's definitely true historically!

Not gonna lie, I was a bit nervous after losing to our under 19's, thankfully I had no need to be.

Predicted in lower mid-table, the board are still happy for us to not finish last.

Just three of these signings are for the 1st team, all the rest are in the youth team.

Nice one! I've started a save in this database with the club my maternal family support: Bohemian Prague. I've generously been given Patrick Schick and Vaclav Cerny to begin with! 

 

Nice one! Best of luck with Bohemian Prague!

I'm going to be starting with this database tonight. Deffo following, good to see you back Naka.

Good luck Matt! It was good to have a few months away, hopefully this is something that I can sink my teeth into and really bring me back.

2019/20 End of Season Review

Not quite the best end to the season but we're promoted champions of our group, but not as champions of the 3rd tier as Tomori Berat beat us easily.

And I can see why, both Tomori Breat and Butrinti Sarande absolutely demolished their league!

A very good end to the season, hopefully we can build on this for next year, we definitely need a more permanent goalkeeper!

It's been a tough pre-season but we've played well.

A £10 p/w pay rise!

Predicted dead last again.

After last seasons loanees and the players we've lost this window, we only had 3 of the 11 players that started for us last season. Also gutted to lose Agan Jonuzi so soon!
