Shelving this. I'm 50/50 if I'll start a new one or just play journeyman and maybe some international until FM23 is out. 

You did well to stick it out to the end of the season tbh, that looked really tough mate. There is no way my laptop would have survived a season like that!

delighted to have completed the challenge in FM22, decided not to continue with the Malta save (all of the repeating surnames was starting to get annoying and FM23 is just around the corner).

I did however start a little fantasy youth challenge by moving rangers to Vanarama North, releasing all players over 20, slapping on a 200 year transfer embargo and away we go. It’s obviously not that much of a challenge compared to the real deal starting at that level but it’s a fun little save to tide me over until FM23.

Anyone here done the ultimate challenge, I’m thinking I might give it a go first before doing a youth challenge later on.

completed the Ultimate challenge on FM22 and loved the journeys that it takes you, especially at the start.  Im not a fan of international management so found that quite a chore

It was not fun at all! Switzerland hasn't heard the last of me though. They're high on the list to try again come FM23.

End of Season Review

Season 2027/28

SV Kozakken Boys

Kozakken Boys - Wikipedia

 

Season Summary

A season of two halves.  We were dynamic before Christmas and very poor after.  We still qualified and failed, in the promotion playoffs.

Season Details

League Table - Thanks to our form in the first half of the season, we finished eighth and squeezed into the promotion playoffs on the final day of the campaign.

League Fixtures 1 & 2 - We were terrific up to Christmas, then a seven match losing run eliminated any chance of promotion.

Promotion Playoffs - It was more heartbreak.  Despite leading two nil on aggregate at one point, FC Eindhoven overturned this and won by three goals to two on aggregate in the first round.

TOTO KNVB Beker - A first round loss away to top flight Vitesse ended any hope of a cup run this season.

Friendlies - It was a mixed bag of results as we prepared for the new campaign.

Squad - Despite an inferior season to last year, we are still punching above our weight with this squad.

Squad Dynamics - Despite our recent poor form, this is rather good.

Transfers In - None.

Transfers Out - Three players were sold for transfer fees, including one of our best players as I need to balance the books.

Youth Candidates - Right winger Jean-Pat Staub YP28B50 is the best prospect out of a fairly good intake.

Finances - Despite raising over £500,000 in player sales, we still lost over £1million.  We need promotion or an injection of cash.

Key Players

Gianni Vandepitte - The central midfielders form deteriorated as the season went on.

Miraç Akdeniz - The Turkish striker is very inconsistent.

Fabian Korporaal - Now aged thirty, the defensive midfielder has started to decline.

Özgür Mutlu YP27A33 - Comfortable on either wing, he is easily our best player and I am not sure how long I can hold onto him.

Ugur Altinas - Our other main central midfielder, he is okay though nothing special.

Next Season

The same again would be fine.

Edit: so apparently, I'm not in the Champions League as I've just been drawn into a group in the Confederation Cup instead. Not sure if this is down to me losing my professional status.

Luckily we don't care about that and will beat all the professional teams that come at us in the League.

Sorry to post this in here, but not sure where I can do ‘general chat’ for us youth teamers.

So, FM23 is on the way.  The beta is here is circa 6-7 weeks or so.  Who is your first save going to be?  Either what league or what team?

Me, probably Amsterdamsche FC in The Netherlands, as Andorra won’t be out for quite a while.

for me will probably be Polonia Warsaw as I did in my last 2 FMs. But I will wait till after beta to start a career.

It's been a while since my last post. I managed to slowly get through another 5 seasons in my Energie Cottbus save but have made zero progress, in fact the team has regressed each season through a lack of player development and my own ineptitude. So I've shelved the save in the 2047/48 season, which is pretty much the only save I've had this FM. I may come back to it at some point but there's no joy right now.

But I'm obsessed with the challenge and have tried a few different leagues to find somewhere interesting/comfortable. Each attempt has ended due to some second season syndrome I seem to have, until now...

Holbaek.png.45cad8d58b982a0a964bfaf7184a14aa.png

I've just taken the reigns at Danish club Holbaek B&I. On first glance they have a very capable first team, with a couple of promising newgens already. However, being an amateur club not a single player has a contract so I guess I'll mostly be fending off bigger clubs in my first season in charge. 

The league splits in 2 after 22 games and there's 4 relegation spots for the 6 six who find themselves in the bottom half of the table which is a little daunting!

Holbaek.png.e18944e6a26524522a6225874362d1e4.png

Season 1 (22/23)

So I'd inherited a fairly good squad in terms of star rating, but being an amateur club no one was contracted to us and there were plenty of clubs sniffing around our better players. Before we'd even kicked a ball we'd been poached of 19 players! Including both of the young prospects that had come through the youth system the previous season. Svensson (22a) and Kiilerich (22b) would have been first teamers for us as well...

Spoiler

Both Svensson and Kiilerich were lost on free transfers before I'd even had a chance to play one. No future transfer clauses either, massive blow.

22A.png.9275231fbd23c0e824dbf063f374cc3d.png22B.png

As the season went on it was clear to see that there wasn't much between the majority of the teams, in fact there were only 9 points separating 2nd place and 10th. Unfortunately we only managed to finish in 8th position after the 22 game preliminary stage, leaving us in the Relegation Stage, fighting for the top two spots to keep us in the division and a job! 

We actually only lost one of the 10 games in the Relegation Stage, however we drew 6 of them so it was a lot tighter than I'd have hoped come the end of the season.

1628085003_23TABLE2.png.73426209576a045668969be19231d191.png

Our youth intake came through just before the second part of the season and it was very good, a few players were put straight into the first team upon their 16th birthdays.

1033575122_23intake2.png.3fcbbc2ba77f1dd954c25fcd76d3aa17.png

Hans Bjerring in particular looks like a brilliant prospect, he managed 5 appearances since coming through the youth system and earned himself a 7.30 rating in those few matches.

It's unfortunate for Thomas Svenningsen that we already have a very good goalkeeper, but if we're able to keep hold of him he'll most likely force his way into the first team in a couple of seasons, no doubt.

Allan Dige made an instant impact, scoring on his debut and claiming the MoTM award.

23C.png.efb5931eab28017752be79087737dbff.png

Basically achieved the bare minimum in my first season. Hopefully with a little bit more luck we'll be finishing in the Promotion Stage just so there's no threat of demotion. There were few players who stood out for me this term, but young striker Marcus Stoltenberg didn't do himself any harm with 17 league goals in 29 appearances. Mikkel Jensen, versatile winger, deserves a mention as well with 8 goals and 12 assists.

Anyone here done the ultimate challenge, I’m thinking I might give it a go first before doing a youth challenge later on.

yeah, i tried it a couple of versions ago. Didn't get anywhere near completing it but really enjoyed it. Adding/removing leagues makes it so much easier now.

It's very different to the youth challenge as its the ultimate journeyman save, and i've been missing them a little bit so I might be joining you with trying the ultimate challenge again before heading back to youth.

(I think my downfall last time I tried was going to the big leagues first rather than starting somewhere small in Asia/Australasia)

End of Season Review

Season 2028/29

SV Kozakken Boys

Kozakken Boys - Wikipedia

 

Season Summary

We must be pleased with our highest ever league finish and we also went further than ever before in the Promotion Playoffs.

Season Details

League Table - We enjoyed our best ever league finish of fourth, whilst never seriously challenging for automatic promotion.

League Fixtures 1 & 2 - We won more games than we should of done as we overachieved once again.

Promotion Playoffs - We finally made it through to the second round though Go Ahead Eagles beat us over two legs after the second leg went to extra time.

TOTO KNVB Beker - Another tough draw in the first round saw the club crash out at the first hurdle for the second straight year, with divisonal rivals VVV-Venlo proving to be too strong.

Friendlies - Just the sic games this year and we won five and drew one for an excellent pre season campaign.

Squad - We continue to improve, albeit slowly.

Squad Dynamics - As good as you would expect.

Transfers In - None.

Transfers Out 1 & 2 - With Ayrton Statie way past his best, he was allowed to leave on a free transfer, back to his homeland of Curaçao.  I also allowed a large number of youngsters to leave on loan to gain some match experience.

Youth Candidates - It was a good intake, with several decent prospects.  Striker Twan Egmond YP29F70 is rated the best of the group.

Finances - We continue to lose money and are heavily in the red.

Key Players

Fabian Korporaal - Despite now being the wrong side of thirty, he recovered his form from two years ago.

Özgür Mutlu YP27A33 - We would be lost without our star.  He is now arguably the best player in the division, never mind our club.

Ugur Altinas - Our central midfielder had another solid year.

Mike van de Meulenhof - Our goalkeeper was as reliable as ever.

Daniel Mendes - We are desperate for a better defence and whilst this chap is not exactly world beating, he did raise his game considerably this season.

Next Season

If we continue to qualify for the Promotion Playoffs, I will be a happy man.

I like the youth challenge but I do find I get the new club itch and I do miss signing players rather than getting the best staff you can find and then praying to the FM gods for a good intake :lol:

From what I read on the ultimate challenge thread it does seem like you go to the obscure leagues to get some “easy” trophies and get your badges, I haven’t done a journeyman in a long time and even then it was just the British steel challenge so it was only 4 nations east with similar league rules etc.

Sorry to post this in here, but not sure where I can do ‘general chat’ for us youth teamers.

So, FM23 is on the way.  The beta is here is circa 6-7 weeks or so.  Who is your first save going to be?  Either what league or what team?

Me, probably Amsterdamsche FC in The Netherlands, as Andorra won’t be out for quite a while.

My team Racing Mechelen in Belgium. And in FM23 I only have to holiday for 1 year, after back-to-back promotions in real life. :)

I'm struggling on my save to improve the youth facilities. It hasn't give me the option for a few seasons now. It did this a few years ago, then let me again. I can improve training facilities though. Is this normal?

its a bug that SI did not fix in FM22. Only way to fix it was someone here suggested to edit the youth knowledge of the chairman to 20. and within a seaosn or 2 you can update the facilities...but it was limited I remember I only got it to 3 stars.

Oh no. That is going to be really frustrating. It did change after a few years earlier in the save. Hopefully if we get bought out it may help.

yeah, same thing's happening to me. It's a 'feature' apparently to do with the hidden ratings of your chairman or something. really annoying though!

edit: oops, @the_hdk beat me to it with a better explanation to boot. That'll learn me to reply without checking the rest of the thread first!

Season 2 (23/24)

Our second season was a lot more positive, we were never really threatened with finishing in the relegation group, in fact we were 2nd overall come the split. We never relinquished that position during the Promotion Stage but we did need goal difference to see us promoted. I forgot to grab a screenshot of the final table, but as you can see we've got that lovely "P" next to our name...

1548006471_24PROMOTION.png.4ab20cf9ee9595b822b41a5407a85c16.png

Marcus Stoltenberg continued his bright start under my leadership with 16 goals in 29 appearances. However we lost him for our final 2 games of the season as he bizarrely agreed to join an already relegated Middelfart on a free transfer. Four players that had come through the youth system made their way into our best XI this season. Centre Half Thomas Laursen (22C), who came through the season before I took over has cemented himself at the back and is one of our most consistent performers. Hans Bjerring (23A), has made the DM role his own with an average rating of 7.05 in his first full season. Allan Dige (23C), whilst not having a spectacular season, ended up with 8 goal contributions from the Left Wing and finally Jan Rothmann (23g) has become our first choice Right Back. With our main man up top gone, Thomas Johansson (23D) will be our first choice front man, he chipped in with 5 league goals this season, mostly from the bench.

Our Youth Intake was littered with 4/5 star potential players, though I doubt we'll be seeing anyone staking a claim for a first team place just yet, especially as we're moving up a division. I didn't even bother grabbing a screenshot of the most promising players, I'm just hoping one or two maybe develop enough to bolster the squad.

1410081247_24intake.png.ce8f4ddc384d46f998fc4589d98448a4.png

Since we've been promoted the board has decided to turn the club Semi Professional, this is some welcome news as now I'll be able to at least tie down a few of our better players on contracts so we don't end up with another Stoltenberg situation!
