[FM10] These girls fall like Stone Dominoes - A rise to the top using only Youth Products


Recommended Posts

[video=youtube;OGnNlQ-KNv4]

FM Version:

-FM 10, with 10.2 patch

Database:

-Small, 15,000 players

Leagues Loaded:

- England - Level 10

Why am I doing this in Football Manager 2010? Because to me it was a simpler, more straightforward sort of game, I could have tried it on FMC but I don't know what the youth would be like on there so I went back to FM10, before the Dynamic Reputation and before the Youth Candidates, Youth Levels & Junior Coaching making this an even harder challenge than it is nowadays as the only person who came any where near close to completing this off the top of my head was hrbfcrule with IK Tord in FM11 which has drawn a lot of inspiration.

What Wikipedia says about Stone Dominoes:

The club was established in 1987 and joined the Midland League Division Two in 1995. They reached the 5th round of the FA Vase in 2003–04 season. They joined the North West Counties League in 2000, but resigned at the end of the 2012–13 season. Their home ground is Wellbeing Park (Formerly Springbank Stadium).

In 2008 they signed comedy actor Ralf Little as one of their players.

The club has 22 teams with players (boys and girls) from age 4 to adult representing the club.

A good Pre-Season even if we drew against the reserves, most pleased with the 3-0 win over FCUM who are 3 divisions above us and played a full strength team, most of the bumper crowd of 162 would have gone home happy!

August 2009

League: Stone Dominoes 1 - 0 Atherton Collieries

A good 1-0 win with Rob Cook giving me the first goal of my career in the 66th minute sealing the win.

League: Stone Dominoes 3 - 0 AFC Liverpool

I was expecting a great deal more difficulty from a strong looking AFC Liverpool side, all 3 goals were scored in an exciting first 30 minutes, the following 60 minutes absolutely nothing happened. Terry Jones netted the first, a bizarre own goal from James Cousins gave us a 2nd after 22 minutes by passing the ball back to the goalkeeper and the goalkeeper decided not to go and get it so the ball went straight into the net. Aaron Gibb scored the third in the 28th minute and Rob Cook managed to miss a penalty in the 38th minute.

League: Barnoldswick Town 0 - 1 Stone Dominoes

The unbeaten run continues into a 3rd game with a rather nervy win against Barnoldswick Town with Rob Cook scoring the only goal in the 22nd minute.

Squad

The cups were complete rubbish this season not getting past the first rounds in any of the cups, at least we made up for it in the league though.

Youth Players

Dylan Morgan (YP1a) - Played 47 games in his first season at the club, was very solid despite his age.

Paul Lee (YP1b) - Top scorer at the club in his first season, with 10 goals in 48 which is worrying.

Finances - Finances are looking healthier and healthier, wonder how much I need to have before I can ask for a youth upgrade.

Two great seasons. Interested in this one. Stone's a nice little town a few miles down the road from where I live.

I'm hoping for a 3rd but I think this will be too much of a step up, I noticed Newcastle Town and thought you may take an interest.

Morgan has very good physicals for that level. Well done on your 2 titles, i'm a bit worried that you aren't scoring enough goals so hoping for a better striker in your next intake :D

Thanks Dexter, I think most youth players at this level have good physicals, it's just everything else is shocking, it's a shame we're getting no outstanding youth in any position that's attacking, we just get good defenders.

2011/12 Pre-Season

We've been given a price of 4-5 to go up and the media have predicted that we'll finish 8th, the board want me to finish in the top half and that's what I hope to achieve.

Squad

Did bugger all in the cups again, I was looking for mid-table in the league and with our attack that's what we should have gotten but thanks to the solid defence me managed to grind the points and push ourselves into the playoffs.

Youth Players

Dylan Morgan (YP1a) - Played 50 games this season and was very solid in the centre of defence.

Paul Lee (YP1b) - Scored 5 goals in 45 games, all the strikers were awful though as the top scorer only had 8.

Jeff Clare (YP2a) - A beast at the back, an average rating of 7.63 and a massive 20 MoM awards in his first season!

Tommy Scaife (YP2b) - Will probably be no better than a backup/rotation player now, didn't impress in his first season.

Finances - Finances evened out and didn't really change too much this season, which is good.
