its going fast now

 

congrats both @glennuk and @hubwub

Colombia can now also be taken out of countries completed I guess.

[OlivierL]

Wow ! Great job @glennuk and @hubwub , no coincidence that the challenge was mainly completed in the first month, in countries that had not yet been completed

I didn't realise you posted the career here - I follow your save on YouTube. I'm a massive fan of lowest league and academy challenges. I'd love to share my career here, but I'm managing Loch Ness, using a lower league mod and choosing the team I manage to nowhere.

Yeah, I thought I'd track it here as well.... that doesn't mean you need stop watching the videos though

ha ha no way. I reckon watching the video is quicker than combing through your posts! 

[DazRTaylor]

Well, that didn't go to plan.  All the best @Winski

I had high hopes.  We did so well in the cup by getting out of our group.  Then the league started.

@Cultured Left FootAlso excited to see your posts on here as I also watch your channel.  Indeed, have commented quite a bit!  Hopefully you will do better than I have here.

[XaW]

Oh man completions left, right, and centre here now!

Congrats to @glennuk and @hubwub! Impressively done! 

[Winski]

Ouch, @DazRTaylor! What a bad run. That was a very short spell....

I still need to start with the league. I didn't qualify for the next Cup round, and played a lot of friendlies. I feel I'm ready for the league, but I'm not really sure now

[Neo_Geo]

Congrats @glennuk kudos to you for continuing with Woking and not giving up even when FM23 came out, was really hoping you’d do it.

Also congrats @hubwub , outstanding to achieve that so early, that’s got to be a record surely?

Its a good job there is this Timo Megapack, at this rate all the eligible vanilla countries will have been completed soon

Thanks, now I just have to do it in FM23  Started both an Indonesian and German save so will see how they both go.

It took me WAY too long in England, so I will probably avoid going back there for a while.

Challenge Completed! FM22

 

Worthing FC - Season 34 - End of Year Review - Can We? Did we?

League - 1st

An amazing league campaign, which almost got derailed at the last hurdle. With 5 games left we were 8 points clear at the top. With arguably an easy (ish) run with 3 very winnable games.

We only got 6 points from those first 4 games and just needed a draw away to Tottenham to win guarantee winning the league (as Man City had won their first four games and closed the gap).

League....completed!

We did our best to make it hard for ourselves with only 7 points from our last 5 games, but what a ride this season was. We were lucky in the fact that Man City had their worst season for a while and we had an amazing start of the season, which meant when the dip came we had enough of a gap to survive.

 

Europe

After winning the European Super Cup against Man U, we had a mini European win. Little did I know we would have a crazy tournament in the Champions league itself.

We comfortably cruised past Sampdoria (an easier draw than we have had in the past) and AS Monaco in the first two rounds. However the semi final against Bayer 04 was a different story. After winning 4-1 in the first leg, I thought it would be an easy road to the final, but we were battered and just held on to win on aggregate.

We were in the FINAL vs Man U of all people. We beat them in the European Super Cup, could we do it again?

Yes! Yes we could. We did the DOUBLE! Technically the Triple (with the European Super Cup) and we have BEATEN THE CHALLENGE!!!

For a long time I thought I would never complete this challenge and almost gave up (5 in game years ago). I also NEVER thought we would win both in the same season, but we got such a lucky draw, with the fact that we faced teams that all finished 2nd, 3rd or 4th in their respective leagues. Also it's crazy that the only reason I am in the Champions League this season, is due to winning the Euro Cup last season!

We won comfortably vs Man U who had a terrible league season and were 11th. To be in the Champions league final against an 11th placed team is some stroke of luck indeed!

 

Champions League....completed!

@darren1983I completed the challenge for Mexico. I think it's a first for North America.

Also, we can cross out Mexico for being completed in the dynamic youth rating.

I'll have a final post about my game soon.

Liga BBVA MX Clausura

The treble has been completed.

We had our best points finish in the Clausura at 34 points with 10W-4D-3L. We had a rough patch before playoffs started thanks to Chivas who has become my team's nemesis along with Leon.

Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League

In an earlier post, I already spoiled I won. Chivas and Leon were a thorn on my side.

Ryan Lira 27H solves my issue with Arturo Rodriguez, if he leaves the club. Those physical stats are insane.

Mario Chapa 27I has the workings of being my future WB-S at DR.

Oscar Guevara 27C is what I've been waiting for an AMC to be my next Shadow Striker.

Another Resolute into the club.

Miscellaneous

Carlos Flores 24B placed third in the 2026/2027 NXGN.

Jhon Miranda was the top goalscorer and the Golden Ball winner of the Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League.

Moisés Benítez 24C was Best Young Player Winner of the Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League.

I'm tempted to continue this save just to win the damn Leagues Cup.

Squad | Transfers | Finances

Our first season in the VNL was a very good one. We actually started great with 4 wins in the first 7 games and I almost thought we could challenge for a playoff spot. Then we got knocked down a bit again, and almost found ourselves fighting to avoid the relegation spots. Eventually we settled into mid-table territory and stayed there for the remainder of the season being an average side. Now we just have to stabilize here for a few seasons before we can push for something more. The expanded stadium was completed, so now we at least comply with league registrations. The board once again accepted my suggestion for youth recruitment, but has so far rejected all attempts at a better youth level.

FA Cup: We beat Leamington before we lost to Charlton in the 1st round.
FA Trophy: We beat Barrow, Altricham, Slough Town, Yeovil Town, and Ebbsfleet United to reach the final. The final was an amazing match where we were just more clinical than Stevenage to beat them 4-2 to claim our first ever trophy!

 

U21 Team:

They only played friendlies.

U18 Team:

They won the National U18 League South East this season!

FA Youth Cup: They beat Coalville before losing to Fylde in the 3rd qualifying round.

Summary:

I think I'm going to Argentina next. Moving from North America to South America.

[Winski]

JJK

The start of my career here in Finland is very promising! After 11 games, we are in a 2nd place, just behind FC Honka. So hopefully we can continue this.

I was also very happy with our first upgrades! Both of them are now on a very good level already.

 

And last but not least: the youth intake preview. It looks like a very interesting first Youth Intake!

[hubwub]

@darren1983The reset date for Argentina is January 1. (December 31st)

Gone again.  Almost identical.  Good in the cup and then lost first six in the league.  Bye bye.

Motor Lublin - Season 4 - Winter Break

Having played in our first ever game in European football, I was delighted that we were able to win 5-1 on the road. It was just a shame that it was the only win we picked up in Europe. We did see the best goal I've ever seen in our only league win of the first two months of the season.

We honestly didn't get much better in the league. Though while we only lost 3 times in September, October and November, we had the worst December we could have wished for. I am just hoping that this isn't a sign of things to come in the league.

Especially when you realise that we are currently in 15th place in the league and in a relegation fight. After having finished in 3rd place last season, this comes as a nasty shock to us and one that I was not prepared for.

Still, our youth intake preview was once again really promising and something that gives me hope that if we survive, we'll be getting plenty of young talent to come through and give us a better squad over the years. Especially up front if we indeed do get three strikers. I do want to get some good centre-backs though, that's an area that needs improving.

[benrollo]

A superb season! I certainly cannot complain about a 4th place finish once we'd finished the Group A playoffs. Rather painful that a 4th place finish doesn't get us Europe, but let's not get greedy!

What's this? A new player at the top of the average rating rankings? No. It's still Anto Vasovic! A 7.26 rating to go with 21 goals, despite my assistant thinking he's surplus to requirements. As things stand his contract is up at the end of the season. He wants 2 years, I only really want to give him one more (I know, where's my loyalty?!). We have a couple of promising youngsters who came through in the latest class who have already looked to get starts over Anto - more on them later. Dejan Đurović 24-5 (7.02 average) was next, scoring 4 and assisting an impressive 14 goals. Dejan was also one of the first players I've had who has been willing to sign a second contract, which is a big step. He has a pretty low release clause that I couldn't get around, but I'd rather have him here than be forced to sell him early. Keeper Goran Petrović 26-1 (7.01 average) was third, highlighting the fact we had contributors at both ends of the pitch.

Our youth class again promised much, and delivered a pretty similar class overall to last season. Maybe a bit more of a drop off towards the bottom of this class, but some good looking players at the top.

Nice physicals right away, and someone with a bit of technique and work rate. I think Vasilije has all the makings of our next pressing forward, and he's already made 5 starts up top, scoring 3 goals.

More pace! They've been putting something in the water in Belgrade. Bojan should be out on the wing, and we're working on that happening.

A promising looking full back who will be getting minutes before long.

Let's take a look at some notable departures since I've been in charge:
Dragoljub Tasic 24-1 actually hasn't yet made his debut for TSC, spending the last two seasons out with affiliate club Bajsa in the Serbian lower leagues. He looks decent though, surely they'll recall him next season.
Dragan Radovic 24-4 is in the same boat as Tasic - yet to make his Partizan debut and on loan at Teleoptik. Certainly needs more development than Tasic. I'd be interested to see if he even makes it to Partizan.
Mate Bagoly 25-1 is with Milan's under 20s, and now has 8 Hungary caps. He really looks like the real deal. He is listed for loan, and honestly I'm hoping he goes somewhere, gets in the shop window, and then gets sold for big money.
Milos Svonja 25-3 is our latest sale, and it was done on my terms for once. I wanted to keep our funds ticking over, and with another 50% sell on clause if he does develop we can make a few more quid.

Off the field, our youth facilities have been downgraded which is pretty painful. We haven't had the funds to get anything upgraded, and don't look like we will for a while yet.

I did complete my Continental A license, and am working on the Pro. Here's my Overview.

A great season that I'm not sure can be replicated, but we'll give it a good go.

[The7Striker]

@benrollo you have some nice gems 

[benrollo]

Cheers @The7Striker! The high youth rating for Serbia certainly helps, in combination with our Junior Coaching being as high as it can be. Just wish we could get some decent personalities!

 

[JAwtunes]

The star player I had to sell at the start of the season is now a full England international.  Wish we were able to hold onto these top players.

[DazRTaylor]

Now going again in Finland.  If, as I expect, I fail again, then I go in England as the tier ten database is out.

I won’t post my introduction to Finland again until I know I will survive for a bit.

First things first, the tranfers:

 

 

So, nothing special to mention. Cant really seem to get players out on loan and the ones leaving on a free are pretty much sheit.

 

2. Bundesliga:

 

So, i expected a pretty harsh season. Mause was our starplayer at AML, but i wanted to put him up front. So Bilgin came in right away as an AML and we did pretty nice. Look at that run of draws. We finished pretty comfortably at an 11th position with 42 points. Pretty happy about that, to be honest.

 

Then, the preview. Better take them out to be fair, because they tell NOTHING

 

That being sad, it was a quite decent preview:

 

 

 

So, what does that bring to the youth table?:

 

 

Pretty much nothing. Vatansever will have an impact later on, but that's because of lack of better players. This aint good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, best players?

Jakob made some pretty good improvement and will prove usefull as a leftback:

 

 

Mause had a decent season upfront. Hope we can hang on to him for some seasons:

 

Schwermann. Spoiler alert, we will lose him in a few seasons and to this day it was not doable to replace him

Bilgin. Did a decent job as AML. Hope he develops nice.

 

Was at the club allready. Not the best player, but he delivers

WOW. What an intake we had!! The preview was already very promising, but the intake was fantastic. And it was only our very first one! Thank you, HoYD Iiro Keskinen!

And check this guy, the most gifted one from this intake
He is only 15 years old!!

These are the rest of the 'Elite Talents' from this intake:

I already love this save, and it's only getting better with intakes like this!

@WinskiYour HOYD with some great recruitment on Kalle Haglund 23A.

For those that previously played in South America, did you add neighboring countries?

I'm trying to figure out if this setup is just fine.

- Players from Top Clubs (South America)

- Players from Clubs in Continental Competitions (South America)

Season 2023 review (season 1)
Ykkönen | 1st

 

What a season!! We became champions of the Ykkönen,  the 2nd level of Finland! We were very good from the beginning. It was a good fight between our team, FC Honka and HIFK. FFK Jaro won surprisingly the Cup, and going into Europe next season. Not bad for a 2nd Division team!

Best players this season were Robin Saastamoinen, Tuomas Koppelomäki, Aleksis Lehtonen, Ville Kirvesoja, Ville Viljala and Antoine Lemarié.

I was again able to upgrade our facilities. And not only that, we are also going Professional! I can't wait to start the next season on the highest level, with all those great youngsters from our intake.

 

 

[hubwub]

Hot damn @Winski! Congratulations on getting promoted!

Is FF Jaro professional then? Correct me if I'm wrong, they won like the FA Cup of Iceland and now they are going to Europa League?

I got more or less the same  plaus all the players in brazil. plus I took england and spain as playable and major euro countries as view only. took all south american countries top league as playable to add to competition.  I will probably pay for it though....my turkish game really lagged after 13 seasons.

I was in the top 4 for most of the season, dropped out the playoffs with 10 to go and went on a crazy run of winning 8 on the spin. We came 3rd in the end. We beat South Shiels in the playoff semi until we faced Kidderminster who lost out on the title by goal difference. I was of course not expecting to win, but I was not expecting the manner in which we went at FT after a tight game at 1-1.  gutted and also super pleased with the progress. Big season coming up!

Season 2 - 23/24

Definitely an improvement on last season's performance. Had a woeful start but a switch to a 3ATB formation paid dividends and we recorded the club's highest ever league finish. With a bit of luck, I think we can push for a playoff place next season.

Hoxha didn't have much gametime with the club however he was called up to the Albania U19s making him the first player at the club to have some kind of international experience.

Loon was the best option at LWB at the club and he did quite well given his technical limitations. I think he'll make a better CB and that's where he'll be used next season thanks to a good LWB coming from this years intake.

Completely forgot to screenshot the actual intake screen but here's the U19 squad now. 

Not pictured are the two players below who go straight into the first team squad.
