[The Football Manager Youth Academy Challenge]

Hi everyone,

 

I took some time last night to holiday in Portugal and reloaded until a team from the Algarve appeared. Once one finally did (C.D.R. Quarteirense) I noticed that they had less than 11 actual players. No goalkeepers in either squad either. Is this normal for this challenge?

 

Thanks.

First game - 5-1 away win with Parma. Giovinco 4 goals in the forward position and i was down to 10 men after 60 mins. Will keep you informed as it seems a few people mention the tactic isnt as effective after X amount of games.

Just a quick post to say i've been using the classic version and i have to say in one word 'amazing'. Hough this is working a treat for me, trialed it with couple of teams and works great. Just started a new game with Lyon and after 7 league games i've scored 33 goals! Keep up the good work!

I've closely been following this thread especially the comments on Piranha tactic. I've been reading how fantastic people were finding the tactic and all the rest, however i was really struggling to get this to work with several teams. I've tried various teams in various leagues in various continents. Not to mention a variety of tactics. I was finding FM2009 a real hard nut to crack.

Come last night, in year 2011 with Lokomotiv Moscow everything seemed to click. I won 7-0 away from home against Tom in Russian league and the run began. Win after win which resulted in a 5-1 mauling of Milan in champions league. My team is far from brilliant as well, especially with the maximum 5 foreigners rule.

Have to say this is not just a lucky run due to high morale. I'm well into 2012 now and im still performing fantastically well. I'm finally enjoying FM again. Big thumbs up to Piranha!!
