License fix? What do you mean? Edit: Ignore this. I'm dumb lol. There's a license fix on the FM Scout website for FM23.

Anyone else take days to finish their first preseason, due to scouring the market for bargains, staff signing, tactic making, training, and all that other stuff you have to do when you first take charge at a club? I've been in charge of Merthyr since Friday, and I'm only just getting close to the end of my first preseason in charge.

So glad the Dafuge's Challenge is still happening, even without Dafuge at the helm. So, I've decided to jump in early, and I've taken over at Merthyr Town. It's time a Welsh team won the Premier League, and hopefully I can be the man to make that happen. The game reminded me that I'm 40 next year, which is rather depressing lol.

Windows 11 broke my PC, so I lost everything including my Folkestone save! I'm done until FM23.

Wow, that's a lot of reloading! I was so bored after 7 hours lol. Hopefully I don't get sacked now... 😅

It's so hard to find decent League Two players after back to back promotions. I'm having to sign good/leading Vanarama National players, as they're as good as I can get.

Stadium expansion time! Luckily we have the finances so we can afford it.

Vanarama National Against all odds, we managed to win the league and gain back-to-back promotions! We were in the play-off spots for the majority of the season, occasionally rising to the top of the table before Notts County would knock us back down again. It went right down to the wire, with the last match of the season deciding whether we would be champions or have to battle through the play-offs. Thankfully, we won our last match and Notts County lost. FA Cup We had a really good run in the FA Cup, reaching the fourth round and being rewarded with a money spinning away game against Tottenham. We actually took the lead against them, but they were the better side by far and ultimately ended our dream run. FA Trophy I really didn't expect to win the FA Trophy, but we pulled it off. We beat Notts County in the final, which was very satisfying. Transfers We actually signed more players than the screenshot shows, but a few of them we're before the year changed in the game. Only got rid of a few, all because they became unhappy for various stupid reasons. Tyrone O'Neill is my first signing for next season, a great looking striker with lots of room for improvement. Can't wait to see how he fairs in League Two. Best Eleven So many great performances, it's hard to point out any in particular. Shae Hutchinson's 22 goals were a highlight. Matthew Hall did an amazing job in goal as well. Unfortunately, Yusuff struggled with the step up and if Matt Morris hadn't left the club, he'd have shown up in the best eleven over Yusuff. I have a feeling this might be Yusuff's last season for the club, as League Two is going to be far too much for him to handle. Finances The various cup runs raised our finances significantly, and have seen the balance go well over £1mil for the first time since I took over. Aims for next season I have a feeling we'll be in a relegation battle next season, so staying in League Two in the main priority. If I can couple that with another great FA Cup run, I'll be happy. I'll be scouring the transfer market during the off-season, for players to strengthen the squad. I'm going to need some quality players just keep us up.

I've managed to gain back to back promotions, so keepers come and go due to them not being good enough for the league I'm in.

I absolutely love this challenge. I think I'll give it a go if I can get Folkestone up to Championship or Premier League level in my Dafuge's save.

It ended 3-1 to Tottenham, but my team gave them a run for their money. I enjoyed that match.

We've just taken the lead against Tottenham in the FA Cup!! WHAT'S THE HECK IS HAPPENING?!?

Did anyone do this challenge in FM22? I can't find a topic on it.

I don't know who thinks this, but they're dreaming!

I just noticed that Woking got to the semi final of the FA Cup in my save! They even beat Premier League side Leeds along the way, away from home as well. I bet they made a fair amount of money from that.
