dafuge's FM12 challenge


Recommended Posts

Am reloading but storing all my saves in case anyone wants them. I know lots of these will be regularly turning up for you all but I have stored saves so far for:

Lowestoft *9

Chester *10

St Albans *9

FCUM *9

Carshalton *7

Lewes *6

Hendon *5

Northwich *4

Kingstonian *4

Stafford *4

Cambridge C *3

Weymouth *2

Tooting and Mitcham *2

Billericay *2

Bury Town *3

Hitchin *2

Worksop

Hendesford

Marine

North Ferriby

Canvey Island

Redditch

Harrow

Wealdstone (I think these last two were one team last year, but they have split)

Hastings Utd

Margate

Bradford PA

If you want one of the ones for which I have multiples, let me know and I'll let you know which combinations are available with them if you like. Will keep updating this post until I decide who to go for. Im not sure who I'm looking for, but just wanna see what options I can build up for an hour or two.

EDT: Im now only saving games with at least one unique. No point just getting loads of different combinations when its only one team we're after!!

Started with Hastings Utd now, despite the fact that I despise the kit. Their 1000 rep is the lowest I got after 2 hours of reloading.

Hastings for me as well.

I agree about the kit. Maybe they got a job lot from West Ham in the 60's, and have never had the money to replace it!

Hmm.. When signing scouts now - they already have players on their scouting list. If they have a player with information on, that is based where you cannot manually scout, is that an acceptable signing?

That's fine, since you have the scout report.

Worksop_Town_FC_Badge.png

Worksop Town FC - The UK's 4th Oldest Football Club (it's true!!)

Given up looking for Arsenal's next big rivals in Finchley. Decided to go on the same criteria as the last poster and go for Worksop as they do have some pretty smart colours, so:

I will be managing Worksop.

I noticed just as I was retiring Holiday Man that they were in fact managerless anyway, so I did something which might make me unique - I got the job by application! Dafuge - do you know if that's a first? I feel pretty good about that, gotta say!! No walking into the job by default for me!!!

I've never managed in the BSN before as I've always done this challenge with Boreham Wood before now apart from one jaunt with Hastings United. Will be interesting. Does anyone have a relevant logo pack? Preferably for Premiership teams as well as sub-BSS/BSN teams?

I've been reloading for a while now trying to get something below 1000. Oxford City has come up but Bedford at 1050 is coming up at a ridiculously frequent rate - think the game might be trying to hint at something...

Finally, got home, partners relatives birthday party done and dusted. Installed FM and holiday'ed for a year!

Manager of FC United!

(Does anyone know how to add a Manager Profile pic after the initial set up? - I didnt do it, as i didnt think i'd pick a team after the first go! :p)

Anyway! .... Profile pic of newly appointed manager!

Got a save with Bury Town & Lowestoft.....Fierce Rivals, may be fun to start as the lower bury and see if we can overthrow Lowestoft......or may just keep waiting for north ferriby, or Kendal.

PS: Also have a kingstonian save if anyone wants! Also now an oxford city save

proving difficult to sign players - cant sign any on FT contracts and only part time if they are key players or first teamers. One player went somewhere else for a PT contract on £20 as backup as i offered only NC terms.

Morning all. Time to start this challenge. Introducing the new manager of Banbury United!

Also could somebody explain to me how I hide the link above with words like over people do?

go advanced when writing the post, type the word out and highlight and then press the hyperlink button and put in your link

Edit: you don't need to go advanced, the link button is on the post screen i noticed

So... I think I'll be right for a goalkeeper for a few seasons. Signed a scout who recommended him and to my utter disbelief he signed for me!!

Likely good enough till you get to the Championship as I seen him on my Wrexham save and he was likely going to be a leading L1 player.

After reloading some more this morning and getting same teams gone on "Holiday" again to see if I can get any different. Likely pick one soon as want to start:lol:

Think I'm likely to get relegated as Worksop :( Cant be bothered going through holidaying again so if that does happen, I'll just go with one of the newly promoted clubs for next year.

How far through are you, i've also made a bad start with worksop. Can't seem to get the players in, every time i make an offer several other teams also do so even though they were showing no interest.

Not far in but the team just arent at the races at all. Trying to analyse the match reports but there's not a lot that sticks out as being something that I could actually work on. A couple of players are on specific training focuses (passing and heading in particular) but....

Taken me 4 games to get the first win, no clean sheets so far. Just lost out on a L1 potential LB. He failed a medical 6 weeks ago for me, tried to sign him again only for him to sign for dorchester (in the southern premier for the same key status on half the wages) :mad:

I've only had 8 in and 6 out and one of the ones in was because my RB is out for 6 months

Im currently 31 minutes in and 3-0 up against Oxford City and my attackers are looking good. Bad news is that my RB Trialist has been injured, I really want a good look at him as he seems very good.

Edit: Final score was 5-0. Good first game apart from the injury to my RB - 5 weeks out with a pulled hamstring.

That's what i did last year. Relegated with Bradford PA the first season, and Hednesford were the only newly promoted team who needed a manager. Fast forward thirty or so years all the other football teasm in England had disbanded because my winning everything had ruined the sport for everybody, and the activities of Hednesford Town FC accounted for 99.1% of the town's GDP. (99.92% if you include the car dealers and 'dancers') It was fun finding out what happened to all the promising players I signed for Park Avenue. (They were always rubbish. Every single one of them. If you go to Bradford you'll occasionally see some old saddo wandering around telling people that he once played for Vikeologist. When you ask if they played for Hednesford Town, they'll just slink away).

Come to think of it, that's a bit close to the way I walk around these parts telling young Chinese girls that I once completed Dafuge's Challenge.
