psychonaut Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Well done on the title win. That's a good expansion to the stadium too. Looks like the move to the Boleyn Ground will bring in some extra cash. I'm stuck with a 7000 seater for Stalybridge Celtic in the Premier League - although a new 18000 seat stadium is being built.

dafuge Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 Wingate & Finchley - Barclays Premier League - 2031/32 Last season we secured our first Premier League title but lost out in the final of the Champions League. With an improvement to the stadium underway we were starting to look like a big club at last. League Table League Positions Graph We opened up a big lead but nearly lost it as I started rotating the squad and giving the youngsters games. Tycoon owned Wigan made a big impact, but the tycoon at Derby had a very different season. Community Shield - we got annihilated. Capital One Cup - I fielded the kids but this was still a bit embarrassing. FA Cup - we made hard work of the run, but found the final a bit easier. UEFA Champions League - we stormed it, the only game we didn't win were when we were resting players thanks to a good first leg. The final was very one sided. Transfers - I made a big profit as I switched a few of the squad players for younger replacements. Squad - we have a great squad now and the youth system is starting to back it up with some handy youngsters. Finances - the prize money and gate receipts are putting us in a great financial position. Key Player Profiles: Renan - this was why I bought him, he was stunning. Emre Korkmaz - yet another great season. Kai Reule - solid as ever. Mamute - keeping our defence tight yet again. Cleven Elshot - was brought in as backup but is looking like a first choice.

dafuge Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Wingate & Finchley - Barclays Premier League - 2032/33 Last season we completed an historic treble, so it was always going to be a tough job following that. League Table League Positions Graph We struggled to the title this year as Arsenal pushed us all the way. Tycoon owned Wigan escaped relegation on the final day, so much for their challenge. Community Shield - an even game, which we won. UEFA Super Cup - a very one sided match. FIFA Club World Cup - we destroyed these unlikely finalists. Capital One Cup - finally our fringe players got us to the final, which we won. FA Cup - we looked strong until we met Arsenal at Wembley, who completely outplayed us. UEFA Champions League - we stumbled through this year but made another successive final, just a shame we lost. Transfers - this was all about profit. Squad - it is becoming hard to improve this squad. Finances - the profits on the transfers made meant we are now rich. Key Player Profiles: Renan - top scorer but no where near as good as last season. Emre Korkmaz - brilliant yet again. Santiago Vidalín - had a great first season in the AMC role. Christian Neu - an amazing season from the winger. Im Jae-Chul - a bargain at £15m.

dafuge Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Wingate & Finchley - Barclays Premier League - 2033/34 Last season we lost the Champions League final, so that was our big priority. League Table We stormed the league as the two tycoon owned clubs managed to get themselves relegated. Community Shield - a narrow win that could easily have been a loss. Capital One Cup - we barely broke a sweat as we stormed to a huge win in the final. FA Cup - this was a different story as we made hard work of our route to the final, which we lost. UEFA Champions League - the knockout rounds provided a couple of scares, but the final was superbly one sided. Transfers - our star defender left as his contract became too expensive, as did our keeper to make room for his understudy. Squad - it is really hard work improving this squad now. Youth Products - these are the youth products that we have produced over the last six years, we definitely have the quality coming through. Finances - this is becoming rather irrelevant now as we have more money than we can spend. Key Player Profiles: Renan - top scorer yet again but his contract is up soon. He's asking for silly money so I may move him on. Santiago Vidalín - an insane number of goals for a midfielder. Emre Korkmaz - his least productive season for a while, and his first as captain. Christian Neu - a great year for the winger. Im Jae-Chul - another great season from the left back.

Now I've started to see the youth players coming through, I'm confident I can have another go at what I tried on FM09 and FM10. I want to build a squad entirely from youth products that is capable of winning at the top level, then take on the England job and win a competition with them there. I'd imagine it will take me at least another 10 seasons just to build up the squad, so it will keep me going for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
