    I do similar. On 1st July I go through Prem, Champ, Lge 1 and 2 and add all released players to a shortlist. Then I either trial or scout all the players as they become interested. Their demands drop the longer they are on frees so by Oct/Nov you can get some great players.

    This is a good strategy considering the English nationality rules in the lower leagues.

    Championship - 2032/33 – 2nd

    Squad

    Transfers

    Overview

    Premier League here we come! A second place finish was enough for promotion but was a bit disappointing as at one stage we had a massive lead at the top of the table. Pre-season saw us sign midfielder Brazilian Jose Antonio from Man United and Belgian defender Christian Irakoze from Arsenal to play along side his compatriot Kasongo. Beyond this, I knew I had to lift the quality to push on from last seasons near qualification for the play-offs. To do this, I relied on loan signings with Matej Bilelic coming in from Bayern and Jesus Moreira from Sevilla in attack and defender Niccolo Tempesta in defence.

    This was an immediate success with a win against Southampton in our first game, although Jose Antonio sulked for the next two months after I subbed him in the second half. The remainder of August was patchy but from there form was much better and by the start of March we held a 12 point gap from 3rd place and a healthy lead over Hull in 2nd. With a small squad and big fixture list we fell apart. Players desperately needed resting but without adequate replacements this proved difficult. We won 1 game in the ten games up to the final game of the season. That lead over the play off sides evaporated and Hull surged to the title. Going into the last game at home to struggling QPR we held a lead over Cardiff in 3rd only on goal difference. This should have been a routine win but with the form we were in an with injuries biting we laboured to a 1-0 win with a 75th minute goal. Even then, QPR were always in the game and we were never comfortable. Up until the 75th minute I was watching Cardiff’s home fixture against Luton nervously. Things became very tense when Carfiff took the lead in the 82nd minute but in the end a 92nd minute equaliser for Luton meant that a point would have been enough anyway.      

    Key Players

    David Tunde Signed in January having been released in the summer by Arsenal. Tunde added a dynamic presence in midfield.

    Jose Antonio – The Brazilian arrived from Tottenham scoring 16 goals from midfield.

    Congrats on getting promoted to the Prem!

  3. Im going to be bringing this challenge back from the dead.

    Introduction:

    Every year, you get a new youth intake. The AssMan singles out the best of them.

    My aim is to take this player, whoever they may be, and track their career.

    Rules:

    Dont edit your players, but other than that, have fun!

    If you want to, mark a loaned out season with a "*".

    Welcome to Wales, after a little adventure on FM22, I decided to return to this country, more precisely to the C.P.D. Y Rhyl 1879.
    They are the phoenix club, established following Rhyl FC's formal dissolution in order to continue their history born in 1878 (according to some websites).Rhyl FC's history was grand with the following national trophies:

    Welsh Premier League: 2003-04, 2008-09;
    Welsh Cup: 1951-52, 1952-53, 2003-04, 2005-06;
    Welsh League Cup: 2002-03, 2003-04;

    The challenge is to at least equal this record...using the Youth :rolleyes:


     

     

    Welcome back! Wales seems pretty difficult, good luck.

    Yes, but no, sort of. Players can't play until they are registered (and it's locked when the intake comes along), and they can only be registered after they are 16. So players not 16 when the summer window closes (~Sept 1st) will have to wait until the winter break. But they can be registered then, so it's not really bad. I think the old rule was 17, and that was a pain, but it's better now. I don't really have an issue with it.

    Ok that's fine enough
