SEASON 1 - DORCHESTER TOWN We could've had a good season, yet in the last 3 months of the season we didn't get a win... not even one. Results: League: 11th in Vanarama National League South FA Cup: Lost in Fourth Qualifying Round to Dorking FA Trophy: Lost in Second Round to Bath City Stats: Highest Avg Rating: Matt Buse, 7.18 Rating Most Goals: Luke O'Dwyer, 21 Goals Most Assists: Dean Slade/Oscar Bridgman, 9 Assists Best Transfer: Oscar Bridgman End of Season Talk: It could've been a better season, but that REALLY bad stretch at the end ruined any chance we had of a good year. Well at least there's next year, right?

2024-25 Preview: Squad Predictions

Elpida Astromeriti INTRODUCTION I'm beginning a new Youth Academy Challenge after my previous one in Antigua and Barbuda had the save file corrupt. I am now heading to Cyprus in the hopes of being able to win the UCL. Let's see how this goes...

My Bethesda SC game file corrupted (or at least it said it wouldn't load) so I'm heading to Cyprus!

I think he fainted…

How do you get through seasons that quickly? I remember with your Youth Only save in Sweden, you were blazing through posts. Do you just play a season then post everything month by month? Literally as I’m writing this you’ve already posted more!

I haven't seen them yet

SEASON 3 - METROPOLITAN POLICE Going to be my last year with Metropolitan Police, mainly because I kept spending WAY to much money, to the point of having none left. Results: League: 8th in Vanarama National League South FA Cup: Lost in Third Qualifying Round to Lewes FC FA Trophy: Lost in Second Round to Chatham Town Stats: Highest Avg Rating: Connor Roberts, 6.96 Rating Most Goals: Saul Kader, 29 Goals Most Assists: James Nicholson, 10 Assists Best Transfer: James Nicholson End of Save Talk: This save was going to be better if I didn't spend as much money as I did. Hopefully next time I can be wiser with the club's $$$

SEASON 2 - METROPOLITAN POLICE We made our first playoff apperance! Performance: League Table: 7th in National League South FA Cup: Lost in Fourth Qualifying Round to Barnet FA Trophy: Lost in Second Round to Hendon (ouch) National League South Playoffs: Lost in Semi Final to Maidstone Key Players: Avg Rating: (CB) Connor Roberts - 7.14 Goals: (ST) Saul Kader - 22 Goals Assists: (AMR) Gavin McKinnon - 23 Assists Best Transfer: (ST) Saul Kader Recap: Next year i'm hoping is the year, although I doubt it.

I like the idea of you going to Motherwell, however it seems they're dead last, so maybe not.

SEASON 1 - METROPOLITAN POLICE The season was surely better than expected, i’ll say that. Performance: League Table: 12th in Vanarama National League South FA Cup: Lost in Fourth Qualifying Round to Dagenham and Redbridge FA Trophy: Lost in Fifth Round to Southend United Key Players: Best Avg Rating: (CB) Josh Leslie-Smith - 7.04 Avg Rating Most Goals: (ST) Jordan Graham - 20 Goals Most Assists: (CM) Jamar Loza - 10 Assists Best Transfer: (GK) Wes Garfield Recap: Good season and I’m looking to build off it!

You probably noticed the new feature where when you're loading up a game it says how much you played. However, under that, it says what level of time you have. I'm only "mildy addicted" Gotta get higher on the leaderboads tbh

Yeah you should probably explain the CalcSheet cause that’s the part im the most confused about.

Video Edition on my YT Channel: SEASON 2 RECAP - BETHESDA SC (ATG) A mostly up season, however did have a few downs along the way. Squad: Pretty good team, although this is after the Youth Intake (which i'll get to later ) Transfers: Henry was a very good player, however I think that it's fine that he moved on. Tactics: Same as last year Predictions: We were prejected to be relegated back down. End of Season Results: 3rd in Antiguan 2nd Tier (Promoted through Relegation Playoff) Very good season, although they're were some moments I though we wouldn't get promoted. FA Cup: An absolutely great performance in our first FA Cup run, where we end up making it to the Final. We could've tied it if one of the players (I forgot who) made a penalty. Bethesda Cup: I'm going to be doing a "Bethesda Cup" every year, because the heck why not? Anyway, we ended up losing in the final to Parham FC in the first season. Which isn't to embarassing unless you considering that the tournament is quite litteraly named after us! Youth Intake: While the personalities are not good, the ability is certainly there for this to be a fantastic intake!

I'm training him at centerback because he has some skill there, although we'll see if it works out.

Yeah, especially considering I'm not using the editor and don't have the Seychelles league loaded. This is going to be a tough one!

2023 Recap: We lost every single game. Not much else to say. 2 Goals scored, 13 GOAL AGAINST!!!!

Introduction The Seychelles are currently 194th in the FIFA Rankings, making them one of the worst nations in the world in terms of football. Today, I will be attempting to make the Seychelles one of the best national teams in Africa. Let's see how this goes...

SEASON 1 RECAP - BETHESDA SC (ATG) Well, I finally completed a season in Antigua and Barbuda. Safe to say it was quite a ride. By the way I began this save in FM23, so that's why it technically the 23-24 season rather than 24-24 season. Anyway, let's get cracking! Manager Profile: Not much to say. You'll see why I made it to the Antigua and Barbudan HOF by the end... Squad: Pretty good, for the level, at least according to me. Tactic: 4-3-3 DM WIde I usually use the 4-3-3 DM Wide because I'm terrible at creating tactics lol Season Predictions: 14th End of Season Results: Finished first in Group A of 3rd Tier We outperformed expectations by a mile and ended up getting promoted to the 2nd tier!! Youth Intake: Sadly the best player can't be used cause we don't play with Wingbacks, so overall not great class because we can't use by far the best player. We'll see if I can still get SOMETHING out of it. Transfers: Previous transfers were brought in before I was managing. I was hired in November.

SEASON 1 - LEISTON FC I ended up getting sacked on the 11th of January, so not that much to report Performance: League Table: 24th in Vanarama National League North FA Cup: Lost in Third Qualifying Round to South Shields FA Trophy: Lost in Third Round to Blyth Spartans Key Players: Best Avg Rating: (DL) Ollie Saunders - 6.74 Avg Rating Most Goals: (ST) Matthew Takawira - 6 Goals Most Assists: (AML) Jamar Loza - 5 Assists (tied with 4 players) Best Transfer: (ST) Matthew Takawira Recap: Overall pretty bad season, however wasn't too awful in my opinion. Wish me luck for my next dafuge save!

I’ll have one from now on in the first post. There was one on a separate website at some point, however that’s outdated now.

I am beginning with Leiston FC for my first dafuge save of FM24!

Welcome to another year of the Dafuge Challenge! I was worried no one would do it again, so I decided to pick it up. Anyway, let’s get into the rules and such. All of the following is from the FM23 edition of the Dafuge Challenge, so if anything should be added/removed, let me know! The Aim To take a small club who were previously unplayable in an unedited game from the Vanarama National League North/South to Premier League and Champions League glory. The Rules Start the game unemployed and choose the advanced setup. Like last year, you have the option of loading whatever leagues you like at the start and throughout the game. All of the boxes should be left unticked apart from 'do not add key staff' and 'prevent use of in-game editor'. It should look like this. Just like previous years, the players for the newly playable clubs need to be added which can be done using the 'advanced' option on the database size. The players from the four feeder league have to be added, which looks like this (the other two are further down). You can also add anything else you like to increase the size of the database. The extra levels of detail that you can change while in the game are up to you. Add yourself as an unemployed manager, the details are not important at all. I like to call mine 'Holiday Man'. Go on holiday until 24th May (this is when the promoted clubs are decided), save the game then go on holiday until 24th June (this is when the promoted clubs are revealed). Repeating these steps will give you a new set of clubs to pick from. Retire your 'Holiday Man' manager allowing him to finish his career unbeaten. Add a new manager, the personal details are completely up to you but I would expect people to use their own true nationalities and languages spoken. Choose one of the new clubs promoted to the Vanarama North or South to manage. A quick way to check the new teams is to find the 'England Overview' screen, then the 'season summary'. Just above the FA Cup summary you should find a list of the nine newly promoted teams. Coaching badges must be set to 'None', with past playing experience set as 'Sunday League Footballer'. The coaching attributes are completely up to you. You may not move clubs unless you are sacked. If you get sacked, you can either take over a newly promoted club that satisfies the original criteria (check the club's league history), or just start again. Any form of international management is not allowed, until you have completed the challenge. Assigning parent clubs and loaning players is completely up to the player, although it should be noted that on occasions a parent club can lend players which will make the first season or two slightly less of a challenge. It is completely up to you how you play this one. Personally, I like to assign a parent club for financial benefits but never take any players on loan from them. To sign a player, you must be able to scout them, this doesn't mean you have to, just he must be accessible to your scouts. If you have a foreign player on a free transfer who is willing to come on trial, you do not need to be able to scout them, as long as you have them at the club on trial so you can get a coach report on him. If an agent offers you a player, you can sign him without scouting him. No external utilities such as scouting programs should be used and the database should be unedited (with the exception of cosmetic changes which cannot be discussed here). Should SI release a data update, this would be allowed but any other data updates are not. Use of save game editors is strictly banned, whatever the reason. Ticking that box at the start should see to this. Rules for this Thread Player naming is allowed. General discussion on tactics is allowed, although people should not refer to downloaded tactics. They are not banned, but I would expect the majority of people to avoid them. When you join the challenge, post a screenshot of your manager's profile on the 25th June like this. Progress of your club should be documented using this thread, we want to hear the story of your club all the way through. Please keep us updated, even if you are doing really badly. At the end of every season, could everyone post some kind of season review, including at least a screenshot of a league table and the clubs transfer page. If you give this a title in bold it makes it a bit easier to pick out. How to Post a Screenshot While in FM, press Alt and S A picture will be saved to a screenshots folder, in the FM22 folder in your documents Upload the image to an image hosting website such as Imgur Post the direct Url to the image here.
