Set Up I have loaded the following leagues to commence my save and will have the rest of the leagues on View Only so that I can change the direction of my career if I want to further into the save in the future. Manager Profile I have commenced Unemployed and with a Sunday League Reputation with the intention of proving myself in the lower leagues in an attempt to obtain a higher reputation job as soon as possible. When looking at the club I will be starting at I will assess all of the clubs I have interviews at and determine which I feel will be the best club to achieve my short term goals. I will then take that job in a hope that it is the right one and I can achieve short term success there to raise my reputation as quick as possible. Job Interviews I have had job interviews at a number of clubs in a few different Nations including Vanerborgs FK, Braintree, Lisburn Distillery, Conwy, IFK Umea, KuPS, Oxford City, Cobh Ramblers, Knockbreda, AFK Linkoping, Tvaakers IF, Gefle IF, BK Olympic, FC Inter, TNS, Atvidabergs FF and Qviding FIF amongst others that I applied for.

With the whole quarantine situation, I have quite a bit of time on my hands at the moment so I figured this was the perfect time to start a new FM20 save. I watched an HITC Sevens video recently about large cities which should have better football teams and #1 was Berlin, so naturally this made me want to manage a side in Berlin. I didn't want to start off in the Bundesliga so I introduce you to... With there being no Berlin sides in the Bundesliga 2 or 3. Liga, I had to resort to an extended database so I can manage BFC Dynamo in the Regionalliga Nordost (German 4th tier). The following is taken from the club's Wikipedia page: Berliner Fussball Club Dynamo e. V., commonly known as BFC Dynamo or BFC, is a German football club based in the Alt-Hohenschönhausen locality of Berlin. BFC Dynamo was formed in 1966 from the football department of SC Dynamo Berlin and was one of the key clubs of East German football. The club is the record champion of East Germany with ten consecutive league championships from 1979 through 1988. BFC Dynamo competes in the fourth tier Regionalliga Nordost. In the 1980s and 1990s, BFC Dynamo supporters became known to include skinheads, with far right political views. In the early 1990s, BFC Dynamo gained a reputation of having the strongest hooligan element in Germany. It was the broader BFC supporter scene that managed to rescue the club during its insolvency proceedings in 2004. Today its supporter scene includes Ultra-groups and other supporter groups with various political or non-political views. The BFC has rivalries with Dynamo Dresden and especially Union Berlin while enjoying friendly relations with Scottish side Aberdeen, and partially with Eintracht Braunschweig, Polish club Pogoń Szczecin and Swedish club GAIS. There is far more info on Wikipedia than I can copy into here, but this is a quick overview and some interesting info about the club's fanbase. Sounds like we could have some rowdy games once we get into the Bundesliga. By skimming the webpage quickly, it seems that Dynamo's history is filled with controversy and I would imagine that they're one of those clubs that you either love them or hate them. The Club has decent facilities, but they're nothing special yet. Once we get some money rolling in I hope to upgrade these to bring in the best wonderkids. The board have no specific expectations for the season, but they'd like us to win the league next year then show consistent improvements in the 3. Liga in the years following. The media predict that we'll finish 4th, but I'd like to get promoted as soon as possible because there is not much money in this division and we're the second top spenders in the division on wages behind only Cottbus. Unfortunately even winning the league will not guarantee us promotion. There are 4 other leagues in the German 4th tier and each of the winners compete for the 4 promotion spots meaning that the winner of one of the regional leagues doesn't get promoted. All I hope is that we aren't that team.

Good afternoon, I am currently 12 seasons in on a Maine Road save, however looking at doing a 2nd save in German leagues. However, do i do another LLM and bring a German team from Liga 3 to Bundesliga or do i pick a club already in the Bundesliga. (Maybe RBL, Bremen etc). Anyone doing a German save, how are you finding it.

FM19 All-European (Less England) Small Club to Big Club Challenge Introduction Welcome to a new season of the ‘Euro Nation’ Challenge, born out of the recent history of the highly successful Gundo’s Challenge and the Big Euro Nation Challenge that spawned out of it. After a steady start on FM18 hopefully with FM19 we will see a continuation of it's steady start and have another strong season. The premise of the challenge is simple, to start with a previously unplayable club and taking them all the way to a National Title and then on to winning the European Champions League. With a variety of leagues, styles of play, different rules, and many different locations for your clubs there can be a lot of variety throughout the thread, providing a great atmosphere and stories for our users to become immersed in.

B) Steps in the Game 1) Add an unemployed manager; you will not use this man to manage your club. I like "Unemployed Man or Holiday Man" 2) Go on holiday until the reset date of your chosen nation (Should take about an hour) TIP - Changing Detail Level to None will make it go faster. (Remember to change it back afterwards) TIP - Saving on the day before this date may give you a better choice of teams by reloading the game then going on holiday for one day, I would strongly recommend trying this. 3) Add a new manager - Use yourself, or a created character to help build a story line a) Personal Details - Your Choice b) Tracksuit vs. Trainer - Your Choice c) Past Experience lowest Possible (Generally Sunday League) d) Coaching Licenses lowest Possible (None) e) Other options are up to you TIP - If you add the language of your country of choice it will make it easier at the beginning TIP - Training now includes you at some level depending on your abilities. 4) Choose to take over any club which has been promoted to the bottom playable league of your nation.

(This is another warning for those of you who do not wish to see this) Expected Updates We have minimum expectations when it comes to a first up post and also in the end of season updates. The Bold pages are necessary for everyone; the others are some suggestions that will get others interested in your posts and following your club. All other screenshots are welcome and encouraged, but we please ask that the majority are posted as links, because lots of pictures can make the page very slow to load. First Post: Domestic Leagues History (Club) Profile (Manager) Overview (Club) Squad (Club) End of Season Updates: Transfers (Club) - This is so we can see the ins & outs League Table (Competition) Squad (Club) Information (Manager) Profile (Manager) Information (Club) Profile (Players) Progress of your club should be documented using this thread; we want to hear the story of your club all the way through.

How to Post a Screenshot 1) While in FM, press the 'Prt Sc' button (usually next to F12 on your keyboard). 2) Open an image editing program such as Paint and paste the image 3) Save the file as a JPEG or PNG 4) Upload the image to an image hosting website such as Photobucket or Imageshack 5) Post the direct URL to the image here. Alternatively using ALT + F9 in game saves a screenshot to your user data folder. (You can also edit this in the shortcuts options) The Euro Nation Motivational I would like to thank all of you who choose to participate in this thread this year, and to wish everyone taking on this challenge the best of luck on a long and hard journey to managerial success! I have personally had a number of hugely enjoyable saves over the years, first in Gundos challenge and then latterly in the Big Euro Nation Challenge. The atmosphere and support these threads have historically offered is key in making the thread, and your saves more enjoyable as I can testify to. I and some of the other regulars of these threads are here to help for the new challengers and hope everybody that participates contributes considerably to the thread. There is nothing better than getting immersed not only in your own game but providing the encouragement to other people's attempts too. Remember we are all fighting the same battle - to defeat the AI (and uncover fabulous newgens!) - Therefore it goes without saying that any form of cheating will be severely chastised. Don't do it! I know that it is painful to lose a European Final or to lose the title on the final day (I have been there myself on more than one occasion) but eventual success down the line is all the sweeter for those defeats. Good luck to all the participants – Here’s to a successful (and enjoyable) version!!

https://binged.it/2rHHyUo EDIT: Check the link out above if you need the title explaining. Cracking tune, but I've seen both lyrics posted all over the internet!) Afternoon all. It's been a while, I hope all is good here on FMCU. After a bit of a break from FM as part of my efforts to deal with the black dog, I'm back in a position to enjoy the game once again. In order to ensure the pesky mutt doesn't keep turning up at my door, I've had to make a few changes in my lifestyle, the most important of those (at least for me) is to sort my sleep pattern out. Considering my main FM time used to be between 10pm and 1am, that means I need to change the way I play the game to help me get a good night's sleep each night. As a result, I'm embracing technology and the iPad, so I can find time here and there during the day for a game or two, without having to get out the way of the family to play on my usual system. It therefore looks like my days of playing full-fat FM have come to an end, at least until the kids are a bit older! I've been stuck on FM13 for a long time, and despite starting saves on FM15 & 16 I never really got into them, mostly because my computer found the games a real struggle. That means FM19 is brand new to me, so this will be a real learning experience. I shall however be using the cross save function on Touch, and so far on the technical side, things seem to be moving along just nicely. OK Withnail, so what is the plan with the save? Simple enough. While I normally find myself playing in a smaller football country, the restriction of only being able to use three nations has made we think I need to play in more mainstream leagues, and with Germany now being officially recognised on the game, it seems the ideal place to play. The goal is simple enough - to remove Bayern from their position of dominance, and then grind them into the muck. I shall be starting in the third tier, but I am happy to move on when it is the right time to do so, and I'll even cross borders into France or Holland for a while in order to attract the attention of bigger German clubs if required. While I have no intention of managing other German sides with a recent tradition of success in order to beat Bayern, I won't rule it out if they are in a weak position or if I'm getting to the end of the 30 year period (which is the career limit on the iPad) without having achieved my goal. EDIT: My career took a different path than originally intended, so I added taking down PSG to the save's goals. Game details: FMT19 Leagues loaded from Germany (3.Liga and above) Holland (Keuken Kampioen Divisie and above) and France (French National and above) The manager As ever in my saves, it's Johan Andersen. This time, the Norwegian is 38 years of age, and with German heritage. He spent most of his playing career with Celtic, who are his favourite club, and he can also speak Dutch and French if he is required in future. Andersen was a solid holding midfield player, and he likes his sides to play at a high tempo and on the front foot, without having possession for the sake of possession.

Ich bin so froh, dass es endlich den FOOTBALL MANAGER in Deutschland gibt. Ich spiele das Spiel seit 2014 und glaube das die 2019 einen großen Schritt voran machen wird. Vom Gefühl her wurde viel auf die FM Community gehört um das Spielerlebnis noch besser zu machen. Dieses Jahre wird es das Spiel zum ersten Mal in offizieller, deutscher Sprache geben und mit der Bundesliga Lizenz. Ich hoffe, hier in der Gruppe auf Fans aus Deutschland zu stoßen, die es ja schon seit Jahren gibt, die Teil einer Community werden wollen. Fantasy Draft Ligen, Online Spiele, private Ligen... Dafür ist dieses Forum natürlich großartig und ich hoffe hier viel lernen zu können. Auf Facebook habe ich eine Gruppe gegründet um den Community Gedanken weiterzubringen. Falls es schon so eine Gruppe von deutschen Fans gibt, die nicht Englisch fließend sprechen oder schreiben können, bitte weißt mich dafür hin. Falls nicht, hier ist der Link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/321810821732810/ Fügt Freunde hinzu und lasst und eine gute Zeit miteinander verbringen! Best, Eddy

FM18 All-European (Less England) Small Club to Big Club Challenge Introduction Welcome to a new chapter in the history of the ‘Euro Nation’ Challenge, born out of the recent history of the highly successful Gundo’s Challenge and the Big Euro Nation Challenge that spawned out of it. Originally set up as an alternative to the hugely successful Dafuges Challenge for FM06, Gundos Challenge offered an alternative for people who wanted to play in another European country. The Big Euro Nation Challenge followed for FM08 and, like Gundo’s Challenge, has had some fantastic stories over the years. These threads have always been hugely popular and successful thanks to those who played, and who still take part, in the challenges. Some of the stories are legendary, and hopefully more of these will be born in this, and future, versions of the game. The premise of the challenge is the same, and simple, to start with a previously unplayable club and taking them all the way to a National Title and then on to winning the European Champions League. With a variety of leagues, styles of play, different rules, and many different locations for your clubs there can be a lot of variety throughout the thread, providing a great atmosphere and stories for our users to become immersed in.
