BHARAT FC I LEAGUE 2033/34 UPDATE
Asthe Year ended, so did the contracts of the Foreigners, and I had a clean slate to (re)start things. Firstly, I signed up a lot of players who hadbeen previously on my shortlist but I couldn't afford their wages, as now my wage budget had been doubled by the board. Interestingly, it seems that the entire league is going through a financian meltdown, as none of the clubs cared to renew the contracts of their key first team indian players, which allowed me to build the team entirely on end of contract transfers. I retained my top two foreigners, and still got a first team of entirely gold-star players, so definitely the squad was now much much better.
The Durand cup as now listed as "Not Important, so I fielded a weakened team(also because we had matches on consequetive days), and suffered a heavy 4-1 loss. The previous years 11 point promise had been apparently forgotten, so the board made me make a new 9 point promise.
I added a Nigerian HOYD as a player/staff and he was my third foreigner. No Asian this time, but we still wo the Fed Cup, gaining entry into the Confed Cup, in which somehow, the board wants me to get to the Finals!
The League was a great experience this time, and our squad was vastly superior to other teams this time round. We were always at the top of the table, after we made it there within three games. My only dissappointment was a guy named Ansari, I got him to play AML, but he got injured for 3 months after the Durand cup, and recovered after a quarter of the league was over. Played the next couple of games and again got injured for three months. He was a 5-star player, on par with the foreigners, so this was a real purple patch. Luckily, My striker from last year developed into a gold-star player and the primary striker could then fill the AML position, so he was not missed much. I left them in the R16 of The AFC Cup, with my best wishes and a champions league to play in next year.
In the mean while, several top jobs became available after the world cup, and somehow, despite the number of trophies I have, England and Spain Laughed off Interest from me. On the other Extreme, Russia was Flattered by my interest, and I got the Job. With Cot d'Ivoire winning the world cup ths time round, I do not think it impossible to win the Euro Cup with Russia, given that I had considerable luck in Europe last time round.
Club wise, I moc=ved to Hong Kong with Kitchee(sorry to disappoint you, Earl, but I really need Under-30 game Leagues at this stage). They are pretty much like pre-decided winners here, and are twice more likely to win than the second favourites. Huge transfer season and loads of wage to spare(mainly due to a 15-man first team) so I guess I can leave within a year. Loaded up Ukraine for next season.

Earl, just the right person. I plan to get the I-league, now that I have enough wage budget(they doubled it, besides got rid of all the useless Nigerians) but that would leave me with one league and 3 cups to go. Can you tell me which countries have smallest seasons(in terms of league games) and preferably two cups? I know Hong kong has an 18 game season, any other Ideas?
There is the World cup in 2034, so Euros should be 2036, 2040 and then 2044(Dont want to leave it till 2044, You know why;))

MEXICO AND BHARAT FC 2032/33 UPDATE
After Mexico, I finally moved to my home country, India. Newly promoted Bharat FC were predicted to finish second, so I applied and took the job.
The first disappointment here was the squad. It was a great squad for Indian First Division, but only that it was all foreigners. So we had 10 foreigners, all non Asians, eating up a major chunk of the wage budget. We could play only 3 so the rest had to be moved into U18s. But all of them had 1 year contracts, with nobody willing to buy them, so they had to be kept.
Anyway, I brought in a couple of Indian midfielders with whatever wage budget was left to join the Left defender, Central defender and Keeper who I chose to play in the first team. Basically, I had 5 players in all who had any golden stars. The first competition of the year was the Durand cup(extinct now in reality) where most teams field reserve teams, but ALL I-LEAGUE TEAMS PARTICIPATE, so it counts for the challeng. Fielded the first team(except the Left Defender, only 2 foreignrs are allowed) and won it in style.
Reality struck with the FA cup. Our current first team was no good, we got a single point in 4 group stage games. I thought that the attack needs to be strengthened. So, before the league started, I got an Australian AMC on loan, hoping for the best in the League.
The league started well with two wins. But we were soon brought back to the ground by back to back defeats. Then we defeated Bengaluru and went on the midseason break. By the time I returned from the break, I learnt that my assistant had sent one of my two Indian midfielders on loan, leaving me with 5 players of the first team having golden stars. Anyway I accepted this as one of the negatives of vacationing, and carried on.
The youth Intake was poor, to say the leasy, a single player having a 2-star potential. Halfway through the season, we were sitting 4th in the table, after getting a couple of lucky 0-1 away wins. We managed to defeat leaders Wahingdoh 2-1, and for the first time since the second game, went up to the predicted 2nd position, though having played extra game. At this very point, our goalkeeper got injured, so now our first team had 4-gold star players. The next game we lost, and also my star center-back managed to suspend himself. obviously, Dempo smashed us 3-0 next game.
Not that the return helped us much. We were samshed byy rivals Bengaluru, and the board called me to discuss future. I suggested that Bengaluru were just too good, and the board agreed. But they still expected me to challenge for the title, and being 5th did not help. To cut the story short here, we finished 5th and I kept my job on the promise of getting 11 poits in the next 5 games.
Oh, and I won the gold cup. With most other nations falling off, Gold cup was a two way competition between Mexico and USA, and USA fielded their B Team. It was a cakewalk.

MONTERREY AND LEON FULL SEASON 2031/32 UPDATE
After back to back disappointments in the league, i remembered "Third time lucky" and went all out. Got a good shortlist of players, but soon realised that i did not have enough in wage budget to get them all. Nevertheless, I proceeded with the Team I had with a couple of changes, hoping for a different fortune. And I had a different fortune...got sacked. Not suddenly though, had a run of poor results, got banged out of the cup, the board set me a point target of 9 from 5 games, I got 1 from first three, and they knew a bit of mathematics, so did not wait for the last two matches.
This however turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Come the end of the season, Leon fired their head coach. This was big, really big. I applied for the job and got it. Predicted to finish first, I now also had enough wage budget to get my previously shortlisted players to add to an already better squad. The quality of our team you can guess from this-Even after beating our Closing stage cup final Opponents 5-1, we ended up being the biggest underachievers of the tournament(Probably a bug, but the game really showed this). The league was not exactly a runaway, we finished 4 points behind leaders America(partially because my assistant was looking after the last few games after I went on a long vacation, having secured playoff spot).
In the Quarters, we lost the away game 3-2, but came back with a 2-0 at home(finally!) as Monterrey exited in the quarters for the 4th time in succession.
In the semis, we lost 1-0 away and won 1-0 home, qualifying by virtue of our better league position.
In the finals, Cruz Azul, my old club, smashed us 4-2 away. However, luck was on our side, and we won 2-0 at home, and later got the title on penalties.
So after two years and 4 seasons, I am leaving Mexico(though now I am still their National Manager), with head held high...

It is NOT long, you get two attempts atthe league in a year, so I think it is one of the smallest leagues(17 games+playoffs). The only negative is that you have an either-or choice between the domestic cup and the Continental cup, and there are a lot of continental spots(7, if I am not wrong). All teams seem stronger than the US counterparts, this year I saw an all Mexican Semi Final in NACL. Another good thing is that it is easy to Vike things up here, a manager can be fired if a strong team is lurking in say 10th-12th in the league, you can come in and with a couple of good results get up to say 8th, and then you always have a good chance in the playoffs. That said, it is always bad to be repeatedly kicked out in the playoff QF
For the year, here it is , Earl

Well, I promised two updates but cannot find the motivation to write them up, so just sum up quickly. Won the German league with Bayern, then moved on to Mexico with Monterrey(lost my core team finally). Also got South Korea job after world cup.
Failed to get cup or league, as I lost in the quarter final 3rd time in this career, but Asian cup waspretty easy, we were favourites, and the second favourites, Australia, never made it to the finals after defeating us 2-1 in the group stage.
Last seen, I was struggling to stay in the top 8 of Mexico with 2/3 of the closing stage done.

Game time 8 days, 8 hours, 8 minutes.
Total Game time-5786 days
Time Spent on vacation-4756 days.
The 1000 days of difference was probably the sum of transfer windows and The time between applying for a job and getting called for an interview
Players, yes i have a way, well may not be a very honest way, but transfer list the key players found at a club for a little less than their value, make sure that these players get so much game time and salary that you are their favourite personel. Interestingly, he new AI managers are not very prompt at removing them from the transfer list, so I have 4-5(accumulative) great players moving from Napoli to Liverpool to OM to Real and finally to Bayern. Dont see them accompanying me to mexico or wherever i am headed to next. A couple of them had been scouted at the lesser clubs I had managed earlier, and I also added to my collection.
Tactic- A simple 4-2-3-1 wide seems to work very well when combined with Retain possession, Shorter passing and work ball into box. Not sure if instant result influences that, but really, with the teams I have managed, you really do not need any special tactic against 13-14 of the teams in the league. Have an alternate tactic where the fullbacks are dropped for an additional striker and a DM, same instructions. Used when opponent tactic lacks wingers.
The tactic is not very good with underdog teams though. The Saudi Arabia team actually won the Asian cup* with save-reload and tactical changes, but seems pretty good when you are the better team.
*I did it for testing purposes, in the main save, I have NOT yet won the Asian Cup
Edit: looking back on these few days now, I am feeling bad that I have really overplayed the game. The 3-day story is probably a warning, and I take it. From hereon, I promise to limit my playing hours, so update frequency should go down after about two more updates
0 -
By the amount of surprise my speed is causing, I want to know, am I the only one who vacations between games and uses instant result to good use? Or am I just putting in too many hours? I am actually ahead of my updates. Anyway, here is a season that I REALLY RUSHED through:
REAL MADRID LA LIGA 2028/29 UPDATE
Small update this, just to tell that I got the Clubs World cup wth Real Madrid. The tournament was not any biggie, it was only staying at the club till December. This done, I resigned and am on the way to Germany, probably the last Big league I am goig to manage in. And i have set my standard: I will only take Bayern or Schalke, where I can keep my record of winning every league in the first attempt, else, I will stay unemployed.

REAL MADRID LA LIGA 2027/28 UPDATE
I am a Barcelona Fan, so it was a tough descision to start with. But the sheer quality of the club attracted me and I joined them(not as the first choice, but got the job). I was presented with quite a solid squad, the best player of which I sold for ~80m and got a replacement and an added defender for a combined price of less than 30m. The expectations were to win everything, save the spanish cup, but i won that as well.
There were a couple of bad moments though, like my star defender wanting to leave for more reputed Nott. Forest, and selling off my second choice keeper for a good price after getting a transfer request, and losing my first choice keeper to a one month injury soon after. Had to use the reserve team keeper for quite a few matches, including away to Barca, who thrashed us 6-0. In the start of the seaason as well, we were samshed 5-2 agg in the spanish super cup, but that competition has no value to the board or to the challenge.
Only Germany is now left amongst the big five, so I hope to finish the clubs part pretty soon, though it is tough to leave a club that is offering ~300m as a transfer budget. Now, although I must stay for the Clubs World Cup.

Luck is definitely a factor, but I have managed in all of EFIGS in earlier. The good thing is I have not had to switch from fm15 to fm16, which from what i have heard is quite difficult.
Additionally, winning 4 different champions leagues in quick succession without caring for leagues allowed me to get good teams to manage. Napoli, Liverpool, OM, were all predicted to finish second, and you know that a human manager can improve that to first quite easily. I haven't, for example, won the premier league with Newcastle, or the Asian Cup with Saudi!

OM LIGUE 1 2026/27 UPDATE
The Asian Cup was a bad experience, but the fact that no other job became available(In Asia, N. America or Europe) was equally bad. Currently, I am stuck with Saudi, let's see what happens there.
France was a much better experience. As I reprted earlier, we and RC Lens were 8-9 points above the rest of the league at half way stage, but Lens went down soon after. PSG was already not performing upto the standard, so despite a good surge in the second half, they were no match for us. We defeated them home and away, so really, they are no longer what they used to be.
The cups were not as good though. PSg sent us out of the league cup, Montpeiller sent us out of the FA Cup and Monaco took the responsibility in the Europa League. I am leaving the country now, which means the Champions League must be taken in either Spain(Atletico, Real or Barca) or Germany(Bayern or Gelsenkirchen)

SAUDI ARABIA ASIAN CUP 2027 UPDATE
I expected to get the most difficult competition done quickly after the world cup, but that was not to be. The fear started to set in when I realised that the board wanted no more that Quarter Finals, and Quarter Finals it was. We got draws against Oman And Jordan in the group stage, but a victory against Qatar allowed us to make it to the second round. Here we met China, we were 'just about favorites' but still needed extra time to beat them 2-1. Then came South Korea, and brushed us aside 4-1. So much for the Asian Cup.
Really, though, Taking the Earl as a target(
) I have ~16 years to try and get the Euro, North America And Asia, and vikeologist advices to go for Asia first, so I would like to see what other Asian nations become Available after the Final. Australia would have been he best, but they won, so that wont be possible So Iran or South Korea maybe? well nothing three days after the Cup is done.So Am I stuck at Saudi?It is not as if I will finish this season without adding trophies though. At the half way mark, we are at the top of Ligue 1 standings, and PSG is not Second. It is RC Lens. Another upset is sure to happen, whether it is us or RC Lens remains to be seen. The League cup started with pitting us against PSG, and we crashed out, but the FA Cup still remains. Not that I need it though, I just need the League, and I will get it.
Oh, and for Humor, bought Ivan Rios for 4.1m from Madrid at the start of season, played him in a couple of matches, and sold him in January to City for 7.75m. Easy money!

Sorry to disappoint you DB08, but you can take only a single cup from a country. It is great to win two, but you get respect and nothing else for one. From hereon, my advice would be two willingly crash out of one cup if a country has two available, that will allow you to focus on other competitions.
Btw, I have taken the Saudi Arabia Job to get the Asian Cup(we are third best in asia so need some luck) after England figured out that a domestic double in their Country and a World cup was not sufficient for a manager to get their Job. The gelsenkirchen(Defending champions of Bundesliga and Champions League) job became available, but somehow I did not take it. Currently, RC Lens is doing extremely well in the league, which is a surprise

3l1G:Well, I salute your determination. In the meanwhile:
DORTMUND, LIVERPOOL, BRAZIL 2025/26 UPDATE
Best season so far, also the first time I have completed a country in less than a season.
Started with 3 months of unemployment, before Dortmund fired their manager, and I took the job. Soon however, I regreted it. They just did not have the players to fit my tactic. We started losing games. Before I realised, the 18 point climb to the top had grown to 22, and the desired Europa League position seemed nowhere in sight. I really needed to get a few players, but a 7 figure transfer budget was just not enough. Also, they had been knocked out of the German Cup, so I had only one competition to add to this challenge.
Meanwhile, the Liverpool job became available. In the past I have had a successful career with Liverpool, and my current tactic was created there. They were still in the FA Cup, and only 9 points off the top, with a game in hand. The fact that the Ballon d'Or favourite was playing at Liverpool further tempted me. So I made the switch.
Back in familiar territory, the next 6 months were easy sailing. The club was 60m in debt, so even after scratching their coffers, they could offer me a transfer budget of no more than 1 million. But I did not need it. The players that I needed were already there, and my tactic was easily implemented. The funny part was that no sooner than I joined Liverpool, Emre Can wanted to leave for Dortmund. Now I had to agree to his demand, but Dortmund never made the bid. Apart from that, there is nothing to report from the Premier League, other than that we won it. The FA Cup was another great Adventure, facinc opponents like Villa, Huddersfield, MiddlesBrough and. The final against Man U was the only good opponent we had, and managed to edge them 2-1.
I quitted Liverpool and was greeted with Job openings at OM and OL, predicted to finish second and third in the French Ligue 1, But finishing fourth and fifth respectively. PSG did not win the league, it was Bordeaux(if I get the spelling right) but that job was stable. Applied for both, got offered both, But OL offered an Payroll of 2.76m, compared to the 10m of OM. So, you know which one I took. OM also plays(already) in my preferred tactic, and with OL breaking down financially, PSG should be my only competitor(and a dangerous one) and I could get France done in a single season as well. Having said that, I would not think twice before jumping ship to PSG, should it be possible.
Before that though, there was the world cup. Brazil were understandably favourites to win, and our group consisted of Mali, Costa Rica and Austria(really!!). Mali was brushed away 4-1. Costa Rica Followed 5-1. Austria drew 0-0 to a weakened squad. Next in line were England. This was a very important match because not only it would take me to the quarter finals of the world cup, it would also open the doors of Europe for me. We edged the game 1-0, to move on to Holland. 1-0 again, and Spain was next. This time, the media felt that we were likely to loose. won 3-0!!! One to go. Full time, 1-1. Start of extra time. And then Coutinho scores! 2-1! Viniscus adds his second on a counter within a minute. 3-1! Coutinho scores again, just before half time. lter, he completed his hattrick off a freekick. Brazil Wins the final 5-1!!!

NAPOLI SERIE A 2024/25 UPDATE
I had heard that the Italian league is competitive, but it did not feel like that. It was throughout a two way clash between us and Juventus, and we won. The interesting thing was the gap between second and third, a staggering 23 points
The Coppa Italia was smooth as well. We defeated Juventus in the quarter finals, and from thereon, the cup was more or less our. Well, Perugia did hold us to a draw away from home, but we came back 3-0 and also won the final 1-2 later on
UEFA Champions league was like a dream. We made it all the way to the semis(where we wer smashed 7-2 on aggregate by chelsea, but considering the fact that we were never supposed to get past the group stage, it was really fun to see Gelsenkirchen kick out Real Madrid in the R16 and then kicking them out in the quarters. For sometime, I thought that I would actually complete the Pentagon, but, still, I have 4 more European countries(at least) to complete.
The brilliant run in the Serie A was capped with a confed Cup victory With Brazil. We were favourites, and Engand were our main challengers. So between us, each won a game-England in the group stage, we won the Finals

NAPOLI SERIE A 2023/24 UPDATE
Nothing fantastic, other than that I am going to count the SA Premiership, having checked previous saved games. As far as Napoli is concerned, I took charge 4 points of the top and 10 games remaining. Won all matches except Juventus who drew 1-1 away, but still finished 1 point below Juve. Perhaps a victory there could do wonders, but I surely have a big chance to win the League and Cup next season. Media prediction is second.

Hmm.. 2043, eh, so I have two decades to dethrone you.
Frankly, though, I see why you and Vikeologist are not exactly enthusiastic about the leaderboard, but I guess you too see why I and (hopefully)mihc are. Would love to hear from other people who are on 10-25 trophies.
In the mean while, I have got the Napoli Job, 4 points off the top and 10 games to the end. Seems like I may leave Italy without even renting a house!

Honestly, i felt that 10 trophies WAS a landmark for me, the next will be the Pentagon. With this huge a challenge, it is difficult to keep interest without intermediate Landmarks, and a leader-board would do good. As far as liars are considered, you can always ask for the Biography and Career awards pages as screenshots.
EDIT:Having typed that, I wanted to post a screenshot of my own Landmarks page, but recieved a shock. According to it, I never won the South African league. Instead I won the 2017 African Champions league two times. Don't know what I should do. Not a big loss as I can win an extra league, but what if the game eats up one of my continental trophies?
Note that it aknowledges that I was the head coach of Amazulu till November 2017, well after the season ends.
Now see this:
Amazulu won in 2017. Hmm...

END OF SOUTH AMERICA 2023 UPDATE
Really, I would probably remember this as the worst part of the challenge. The board wants to win everything! And they do not give me a budget to do it. Newly promoted Youth players constantly groaning for playing time! Really? And there are matches every two days, and the Libertadores seems in no hurry to Complete.
Anyway, I focused on only two things, the Copa Libertadores and the Copa America(So we lost the Gauchao in the final despite coming from the league stage with a goal difference of 87 in 15 matches). While, the Copa America was not as Challenging as I thought, With Argentina crashing out in the semis, I made a critical error by calling up Internacionals only GK to the team. This left my club without a GK and our already flopping campaing went even worse. The board called me up and after a lot of pleading, allowed me to continue only if I could get 10 points in our next 5 games. I was lucky to find a decent free agent goalkeeper, and he took us through the next five games, all against very poor sides, though we managed exactly 10 points and no more. I kept my job, and Brazil got their 10th Copa America, winning the final against Colombia 3-0.
Keeping the job obviously did not mean problems solved. Half the side, comprising of First teamers, were dancing on my head to let them leave for Europe, while the other half, made up of promoted youth and Backups were demanding first team soccer. And the board was unhappy about all this. In the midst of this, we defeated Boca at home by a single goal in the first leg os the semi final. In the second leg too, we took a 2-1 lead(4-2 aggregate) but then Boca Begin to hit back. In the 84th minute, my defense in tatters, they equalized on aggregate, And I was preparing to cry, when the full time whistle blew, we won on Away Goals!
The stage was now set for the finals against Corinthians, the club at which I had previously won all South american Continental championships in another save, and the club which was 6 places and 12 points above me in the league table. But failing to win this would mean having to wait another year, and also switch clubs, because it was looking impossible to stay at this club for even a month more was looking difficult. They beat us 3-2 away. We beat them 2-0 home. We won. Time to move on!!!
The Libertadores in my tenth trophy. I read somewhere about a proposal for a Leader-board. If that is still alive, I vote in favour!!!

In Mexico The Top Teams Play A Knockout To See Who Is Champions
I know, that is why I wrote 1 and not champions, because I got knocked out in the quarters. I have also not counted it in my report. Hope that settles it? Sorry for the misunderstanding.

INTERNACIONAL BRASILEARO 2022 UPDATE
Well, the Brazillian season does end. And it can end well. Giving me both League and Cup!
First things first. After a full year of unemployment(whereby, there were job opportunities from argentine minnows, all expected to finish below 25th, which I ignored), job opportunities started to arrive, as the state championships of Brazil were done. The two of particular interest were Palmerias and Internacional, of which, I chose to take Internacional due to a slightly higher wage budget. The squad was huge, and I was happy to see a full squad of reserves and U20s, but we were slightly over wage budget. In the league, I used my old philosophy-win against the minnows, win all home games, do not worry about big away games. Again we had an end of season slump, but survived. The cup was easier, we were always one of the favourites, and I always played my first team, while many opponents sent out weaker teams.
Two more trophies are now added to my cabinet, and with some luck, I will have two more in the next six months, as I am also the head coach of Brazil!

KITCHEE PREMIER LEAGUE 2034/35 UPDATE
Not much to report here, we were expected to win the league and won it, along with the FA cup, and somehow missed out on the Senior shield. All competitions here are 10 team competitions, so everything moves on pretty fast. South China challenged hard for the league, but fell short at last, and we managed to beat them home and away, though they got back on us in the Senior shield QF and went on to win that competition.
On the inter national front, the nations league was dissapointing, but then it was not important anyway. We have won the first three of our EURO Quals group matches, so It looks pretty good for the future.
