Fudal Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Hello! And welcome to my main save for FM23. The challenge for this save is simple, win a trophy with the teams that are randomly given to me by the team generator on sortitoutsi.com. The rules of this save: I can only manage clubs that are given to me by the randomizer. When I win a trophy with that team, I retire the manager and take over the next team. When I'm on the third and final club of the randomizer, I will run it again, and load up those 3 leagues. So let's get it started by running the randomizer. So off to Holland we go to start with RKC Waalwijk. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudal Posted October 23, 2022 Author Share Posted October 23, 2022 The squad is very balanced, but we still need a LB and we could use some CB depth. We're predicted 3rd bottom, only above Excelsior and Volendam. Playing a very attacking brand of football, a tactic that I developed in my first save of FM23. We signed a new LB.

olabje Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Very interesting challenge! Looking forward to seeing how it goes. When you move to club two, will it be within the same save, so the year will be 2026 for example, or will you start a new save? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudal Posted October 23, 2022 Author Share Posted October 23, 2022 A very decent pre-season sees us only lose to top flight teams in England, France and Italy. Here's how the first few months went. We need to turn these draws into victories and we've conceded 12 goals in our last 4 league matches. As long as we're safe this season I will be happy.

It will be the same save, just with a different manager. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudal Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 A big update sees us hit some inconsistent form, but we're into the Semi Final of the cup against Heerenveen. We just can't play away from home it seems. Need to sort out an away tactic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Save sounds like a lot of fun, and I have been thinking about doing something similar. Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudal Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 Youth Intake #1 Will be retraining as a central midfielder. I really like the look of this kid. If we can get a good mentor for him he'll do well. He's a bit of the same as the Icelandic lad, but just not as technically gifted. A good defensive wingback is not what I look for when I'm building my backline, but if he can turn into something good I'll play him. If his reflexes were 10+ I'd play him now . Poor acceleration and bravery, not what I look for in a center half at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! It's been good fun so far, just trying to figure out a tactic that will actually work now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudal Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 A very rough end to the season, as tactical experimentation did not work. We finish 11 points clear of relegation, but 18 points off Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fudal Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 Youth Intake #2 He looks really good, just have to get his strength and jumping up. This kid is a proper game changer for this club. If he can grow a lot more we could sell him for a lot of money. We don't use AMC's but he looks okay. Lots of 7's and 8's which isn't great. Same goes for this guy.

Fudal Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 I'm incorporating a new rule to this save. We're going to do 3 seasons per team, instead of until we win a trophy. RKC has gotten a bit stale so I'm going to try and finish this season as fast as I can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudal Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 Season 3 done. The gap in talent from the top 5 to everyone else is insane. Onto Bradford! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudal Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 So we take over Bradford City, July 1st 2025, and the club has just been relegated from League One. Here is the state of the squad: Only one GK. A striker earning twice the next player who is already 32. 34 year old backup striker on 2k. Yeesh. We do have 4 5* potential players that I will show now. So it's not all doom and gloom. I want to focus on youth development in this save, even if we only see the players for a couple years. This lad could be special. He's a centerpiece of this team. I'm skeptical of this kid, although he's still very young at 15. A playmaking striker? I'm fawning over this lad's profile. He'll be integral to this side this season. Probably will be first choice, after we (hopefully) sell Ladapo. Wilson is much more of a destroying midfielder. He won't feature much this season, but he'll be on the bench for some games. I think this is what we're going to go with here with Bradford City. I need a DM, An IWB on the left and backups pretty much everywhere. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudal Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 The cull begins. We get his money off the books, and a little cash as well. Previously starting CB Platt leaves for a nice chunk of change. Left IWB Jordan Thomas comes in for 1.5k per week. On a free this looks good. 34 Y/O striker leaves for pennies, but he was on 2k. Backup striker/right winger comes in for 900 p/w. Brought in for mentoring reasons. Will be a decent 4th midfielder. Another loanie backup. Our new defensive midfielder. A star wingback joins to play LB. Damn. We break our wage structure for a new winger. A new backup forward. Very cheap. Backup CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
