bean824 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Good to see Barnet haven't been relegated yet! And well done, I always se it as a good achievement when someone manages to get a low level team promoted up a few divisions.

I dont like LLM house rules. For me FM is a game not something else so I play it like the game that is in front of me. I stopped picking clubs from the absolute bottom though with FM08. Nowdays I rather start with a club from league 1 or 2. Because my head simply hurts when I have to work with so poor players as there are in non-league divisions. They are so bad it is very hard to spot which player is worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Girondins Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Usually takes me 3-5 seasons to get teams moving forward if they have no money or facilities. Sometimes you get lucky with the free transfers and you can advance your plan instantly a year or two just on the strength of one or two great signings but overall, I find it certainly takes time and luck. Took me three years of Championship football to get Leicester up; but only one for League 1. Every time you do go up, there is always a real strong chance of it all going wrong the next season. With modest backing I find I can gain 3-4 league places a season, which is good enough to keep your job usually .. of course I won the EPL 3 consecutive seasons with Utd after spending 86m in the first year. So its swings and round abouts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

markcator3006 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I've just won the Serie B Championship with Manfredonia. They start in the Italian Serie C2, went up first season through the playoffs to Serie C1, won promotion again through playoffs the following season to Serie B. Then spent 3 seasons just avoiding relegation, 4th season in Serie B I finished 6th, therefore qualifying for playoffs where I lost in the semi-final. Season after I finish top of Serie B and now lowly Manfredonia in there 6000 seater stadium will be playing the likes of AC Milan, Juventus, Inter Milan and Roma next season (almost brings a tear to my eye the work i've done with them) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raware Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Currently plying my trade in Northern Ireland with Lurgan Celtic. Absolutely no money to spend and a wage budget of £750 (1st season) £3,500 (2nd season). Managed to win promotion from NI League 2 the 1st season, then a 7th place finish in NI League 1 the 2nd season. Currently in my 3rd season in NI League 1 and sitting pretty at the top. Job offers have just started coming in from Welsh league teams and BSN/BSS teams. A real tough challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithers Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I'm in 2019, with Farsley in the Premier League. It's been a terrible season in the league so far, currently 5th. That may not sound so bad, but considering how well I did last season (6th) with worse players, it's not too great. I also got to the League Cup final but lost 3-1 to Arsenal, and am about to play the UEFA Cup final against Atletico Madrid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campbell1892 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 I dont no how to quote people properly but: My manager reputation to start was automatic as i want it to be fair to me and im not anything else so i shouldnt be set as an international. As mentioned already in the thread dafuges challenge is differet rules. Many of you have lost in the play offs, i would want to cry and smash my pc if that happend to me because it then takes another whole day of playing to get back to where you where. I got Marine promoted at the first time of asking with my free tranfers, second season finished 5 points outside playoffs and this was my third season when i won bsp so 4th seaosn is league 2 but my players become arrogant they want big pay rises just for being in the league im thinking i might miss non league football where no-one moans much lol. To the guy who said the second season may not be as easy as the first i said that but if you get it right you can do it, i messed with my squad to much but only just missed out. The guy ashford if you done that without cheating then thats fantasitc thats the dream, let us know when you win the PL an europe etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSGTroyer Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 If I Recall Correctly I made a fictional team in BSS with no squad except "me", a multi-role midfielder with low CA and high PA. That's the extent of my cheating, except for using FMRTE to set pitch size the way I want it, within league and stadium limits. The game doesn't allow anywhere near all legal possibilities, and I believe it should. When the game started in late June 08, I had to sign a staff and side and get them into match shape by the start of the season. I had no money for transfers, so every signing the first two years was a free transfer or a parent team loan. It's 2014, and I'm 4 points out of 2nd in the Championship (4th place) with 2 matches left. I've never beaten Leeds, but my next match is away to them, and they are four points behind me in 5th. I lead the league in goals scored (92), goals from corners (11), am sixth in lowest goals conceded (48), have 46 yellow card and no reds for the season (9th and 1st). Turns out "I" am really a decent-sized cheat. "I" am still on the team, the captian at age 20 (and USA U20 captian as well), and lead the league in averate rating (7.54) ("my" most common position is AMC, but "I" have about as many appearances as DMC, MC, and MR combined) and assists (19). Thing is, "my" contact expires next year, and "my" agent won't let "me" negotiate a new one. Yet. Hopefully, I can get promoted, and he will allow me to negotiate with "me", otherwise "I" will have to be sold before the August window closes, lest I lose "me" on a Bosman.....

captainpenguin Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I'm Team Bath, now in The Championship in 2013, and struggling for the first time. Their left-backs at the start of the game are both pretty poor. One might have a passing stat of 8, but his tackling stat is probably 2! Still, got to love them. Come on the Crescents!
