    Nationality challenge

    in Challenges, Sign-Ups & Experiments

    Posted

    Hi FM Players, 

    This is a simple and fun save idea.
    The idea is to sign as much as possible players from different countries, and by preference some obscure countries.

    Rules:

    Matchday
    - At least 5 different countries in you matchday starting eleven
    - Limit of 3 players from same nation in matchday squad, limit of 5 including reserves.
    - You should always have 5 different nations on the pitch. So, You can't substitute one player off and then having only 4 nations in your playing eleven
    - You should always have one player on the starting XI with a nationality that isnt in the FIFA Top 100. However, it is allowed to substitute him off during the match

    Squad size:
    - Limit of 3 players from the same nation
    - Limit of 5 players from the nation of your club
    - You can have 2 extra exemptions for players homegrown at club or players younger than 19

     

    Within those guidelines you can do whatever you want, the nationalities are the only restrictions in this challenge. International management is allowed, I would say try it with a lesser skilled nation. You can even start unemployed for this save and see were you end. This challenge can even be combined with a Journeyman save.



    Have fun and let me know if you are doing this kind of save!

    Saved by the pandemic

    Hi FM Players,
     

    This challenge is based on the covid outbreak. In The Netherlands, there wasnt handed promotion and relegation, unlike other competitions. However, RKC was alredy about to be relegated, and Cambuur about to win the second league. For this save, you can choose one of the following teams:


    Eredivisie:
    Ado Den Haag
    Last season: 17th
    Last season Ado was set to be relegated if it wasnt for Covid. This season it isnt going well neither. Can you keep the club from the 3th biggest city in the Eredivisie? And give a big city a big club? 

    RKC Waalwijk
    Last season: 18th
    RKC was promoted due to an extra time winner over Go Ahead Eagles in a play off final. However, in their first eredivisie season in some time they finished bottom last just before covid broke out. If you choose this team, you will have to keep them in the Eredivisie. Your biggest rivals are talent producers Willem II, from West Brabant. They are doing very well last years. Your main focus is to become bigger than Willem II, although that isnt very hard. Relegation isnt challenge over, if you won't be sacked just try to be promoted again. 
     

     

    Keuken kampioen Divisie:
    SC Cambuur
    Last season: 1st
    Cambuur was about to win the league but covid came...... The "deers'' from Leeuwarden played some eredivisie football but last years they stuck in the second tier. Their big big big rivals are other, bigger, Frisian side SC Heerenveen. the Frisian Derby is always a big match. In real life Cambuur is leading this division again. your goal is to be promoted and overclass Heerenven.

    De Graafschap
    Last season: 2nd
    De Graafschap, ''Superboeren'', played regular Eredivisie football but they were relegated in 2018/19. They were sat to be promoted straight again, but covid broke out. Your goal is to bring them back in the Eredivisie and bring them some glory.


    Thanks for reading, reply if you are doing this challenge and have fun!

    Rinus Michels Challenge

    in Challenges, Sign-Ups & Experiments

    Posted · Edited by fmguy1

    Hi FM Players! 

    Rinus Michels was a great manager from The Netherlands, most known for his time at Ajax. The FIFA choosed him as the best manager of the 20th century and he got many more prizes.He was the inventor of offside trap play and the total football tactic with Johan Cruijff. Sadly, he passed away in 2005. In this challenge, you will try to archieve the same as what Michels did archieve. I splitted things in the easy and hard mode

    Step 1: Set up a new save and you will have to start with Ajax in the Eredivisie. What leagues you load is up to you. My personal recommendation is to take at least the higher divisions in Europe, the Eredivisie and the Keuken Kampioen Divisie obviously, and the Belgium highest league.

    RULES:
    1. You must start with Ajax.
    2. You can have any coaching badge you like except The Cont. Pro. and experience whtever you want.
    3. If you get sacked with Ajax, its challenge over. With any other team, just find another job to complete the challenge.
    4. Relegation is challenge over
    5. Any archievement not reached in time means challenge over
    6. You should always play with offside trap and total football tactics.

    When you are in the game, this are your goals you must archieve:

    Easy mode

    This part has to all be done with Ajax
    Win the Eredivisie in season 1. Michels won it in 1965/66 in his first year with Ajax.
    Win the League/Cup double within 2 years. Michels won it in 1966/67.
    Win the Champions League within 6 years. Michels won the Europa Cup I in 1970/71.


    Once you completed this archievement, you gonna move to a top team in one of the top 5 leagues in Europe (By preference, not a team in Germany) Michels went to Barcelona in 1971. 
    Win the league title within 3 seasons. Michels did in 1973/74 with Barcelona.
    Win a domestic cup within 6 seasons. Michels won the Copa Del Rey in his second stint with Barcelona in 1977/78 (He has been the Ajax manager for 1 year in 1975/76)

    Move then to a German team if you arent in that league already. If you are in that league, try to find another job, but that isnt neccesarily. Michels moved to Cologne in 1980 after a stint in America without any prices.
    Win the DFB Pokal within 3 years. Michels won it with Cologne in 1982/83.

    After you won the DFB Pokal, You will have to look for a National team Manager job. Michels did with The Netherlands in 1984. This was his second National mangerial stint with the Lions. 
    Win a continental competition or worlds some point. Michels was Runner up with the Netherlands in 1974 WC and won the Euro's in 1974. 
    This completes the easy mode! At the bottom you can find extra options

    HARD MODE
    This requires to arechieve literally the same as Michels

    This part has to be completed all with Ajax
    Win the Eredivisie four times in 5 seasons. Michels did in 1965/66, 66/67, 67/68 and 69/70
    Win Your first league and cup double within 2 seasons and your second within 5 seasons. Michels did in 1966/67 and 69/70.
    Win your third Dutch cup within 6 seasons. Michels did in 1970/71
    Win your first European cup within 3 seasons. Michels won the Intertoto Cup in 1968. Extra challenge could be European cup plus league title within 3 years like Michels did in 1967/78
    Win your first Champions League within 6 seasons. Michels won Europa Cup I in 1970/71. Extra challenge could be UCL plus Dutch Cup within 6 years like Michels did in 1970/71

    Move to a big side in a Top 5 European League (Personal preference woud be not to go to Germany) once you did this. Michels went to Barcelona in 1971/72. 
    Win the league within 3 years. Michels did in 1973/74 with Barcelona.
    OPTIONAL: Michels became Dutch National Manager in 1974. You could try the same. Your challenge is to take a WC qualified team and at least recht the final. However, this isnt part in the main Hard Mode.
    Win a domestic cup within 6 seasons. Michels won the Copa del Rey in 1977/78 during his second Barcelona Stint after a year of Ajax without a prize.

    When you completed this, you should move to Germany if you arent in that already. Michels went to Cologne in 1980 after 2 years without prizes in the USA.
    Your only task here is to win the DFB Pokal within 3 years. Michels did with Cologne in 1982/83.

    After this, become National Manager of some country. Michels did 3 Dutch stints, his longest after his Cologne stint, 1984/88.
    For this paet there is no time limit. Win a Continental tournament or WC. Michels won 1988 euro's, the only international prize for the Dutch Lions as of today. He also became runner up in 1974 with the Netherlands. Your challenge is completed after at least one continental win and WC runner up. A WC win doesnt immediately completes the challenge, the continental win is as mandatory as a WC runner up spot at some day. Extra option could be to reach another continental SF which he did at his last stint as national manager in 1992.


    I Hope you like it and have fun! Please reply if you like this challenge.

    Optional:
    Michels took charge over the Los Angelos Aztecs during 1978-1980. He didnt win a prize though. Your optional challenge is to take over a USA side (by preference at the start of the year in the USA), by preference LA Galaxy or LAFC if that job's available. Try to win the MLS or US Open Cup within 3 years. However, this isnt mandatory for the original challenges so no prize after 3 years isnt a problem. NOTE: Please dont take over Montreal, Vancouver or Toronto because they dont participate in the US Open Cup as they're Canadian.

    Michels his last club was Leverkusen which he took over after the 1988 Euro's. He sat there for 1 season. Can you take over a big German side and can you challenge at the top? Or even win the DFB Pokal? If you dont get any succes, its no problem for the Rinus Michels challenge.
