The Perfectionist - From A to W, 51 Nations and centuries of management

[Makoto Nakamura]

Hello everyone and welcome to hopefully the start of a very long, very difficult career. I apologise for not finishing my Queen's Park save but I've been without internet for the last 12 days and now I'm going on to FM15!

The plan for this year is that it will probably be the last year where I'll be able to play so much so I want to make the most of this by trying to win every Cup, League and anything else I can, starting with loading Argentina, Australia and Austria and working my way through in alphabetical order and finishing in Wales, probably in the year 2500...

This is the set-up, I've started with a small database which gives out 14,000 players and since I doubt anyone in the Argentine Second Division will give someone as low as me a job I shall be starting with the team predicted to finish 22nd out of the 22 teams, and this team is Temperley.

[Makoto Nakamura]

The squad could do with some work, we have 6 first team strikers and only 5 defenders so there is definitely a lot of improving to do.

Pre-Season 2014/15 - Temperley - Argentine Second Division

A mixed Pre-Season in terms of results, but we saved the best result until last, even if it took us 50 minutes to score!

Transfers:

We have next to no play in the budgets so I released a lot of the youth players and managed to sell off a couple of the better youths.

Here are, in my opinion, the best 3 players to come to us:

Thanks Tyler Hopefully I won't be affected by any game breaking bugs.

August 2014

Not exactly a great start, highly mixed early on. We appear to be affected by the huge amount of goals scored and conceded, although this happens at the beginning of every FM, I'm just hoping we can outscore the other team as there's next to no chance of a clean sheet.

[Nottingham Forest]

Good luck Makoto. Lots of signings there but hopefully there will be no gelling issues. Not a bad start and lots of goals which seems to be everyone's problem at the moment .

Thanks NF, as I'm currently experiencing, there are no problems with gelling!!!

[Makoto Nakamura]

September 2014

What a great few games! 15 goals in 3 games and we didn't even concede too many goals!

[deltablue]

Hope you have a lot more luck in Argentina than I've just had.

Thanks delta, I'm afraid I may have been jinxed a bit

[Makoto Nakamura]

October 2014

Not a successful month by any means, although it seems like top 5 teams get promoted? Either way I'm very confused.

[deltablue]

Apparantly this is a transition season with the top division expanding to a massive 30 clubs! That would help explain it.

Jesus! Well that will be a sight to behold! I'm guessing they'd only play each other once which would lead to 29 games then, can't see them playing 58 league games if I'm honest, but who knows, South America is very odd at the best of times.

[Makoto Nakamura]

November 2014

Well, I think this is the end of my season, which means that other than cup games we have no fixtures now until next August? Either way I'm very happy with how we finished this season, and hopefully we can stay up in the new looking Argentine Premier Division.

Season  |   Club    |   Nation   |          League        |   Position  | Other  
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2014/15 | Temperley | Argentina  | Argentine 2nd Division | 3rd Group B | Promoted 

[Makoto Nakamura]

Changes in Argentina

The season has gone from August-May to starting in February, matching countries like Brazil.

I've had to change my screen resolution in order to fit all the teams on!

[Makoto Nakamura]

Pre-Season 2015/16

A good Pre-Season with just the 1 loss and we've already met the boards expectations in the Cup

Key Transfers:

[MVFCLFC]

Looking forward to seeing this one progress. Good luck for what is an epic challenge.

February 2015

It has been a tremendous start to life in a bigger (much bigger) division! Some very high-scoring and close games leave me biting my nails far more than I want to!

[deltablue]

Talk about joining the big leagues!

Talk about joining the big leagues!

I know It's got to be the biggest league I've ever seen!

[Makoto Nakamura]

March 2015

A pretty good month, we've exceeded the boards expectations in the cup and now face All Boys in the 6th Round and the only loss in the league was an understandable loss to Argentine giants, Boca.

[Makoto Nakamura]

April 2015

Things haven't gone great for us in April with us just picking up a third of the points available to us, amazingly though we've only fallen down one place to 9th.

[rancer890]

Looks like MLS eventually.

[WarroOxford]

Good luck with this, and well done with Temperley! May have to try something like this someday too. Yes, I'm also a self-masochist.

[Makoto Nakamura]

Looks like MLS eventually.

It could well be a sign, could well be that they'll need a North, East, South and West conference in the far future

Good luck with this, and well done with Temperley! May have to try something like this someday too. Yes, I'm also a self-masochist.

Thanks Warro Best of luck if you even attempt this!

[Makoto Nakamura]

May 2015

Another not great month, but bloody hell, that match against Atl. Rafaela....

[WarroOxford]

Just a question as to your goals in this save. When you say you want to win every league, does that mean you'll start in the lowest possible league for every country you visit? Or will you just take whatever job is available at the time when you move on from the previous country?

Yep, it means I'll be starting at the lowest possible league in every country (This probably won't apply to sub-divisions or Brazil's State Championships)

[Makoto Nakamura]

June - August 2015

We're going great guns in both the league and cup and we have a Semi-Final against Velez.

[Makoto Nakamura]

September 2015

A great month with only the loss to River dampening our spirits, we even provided a cup upset by winning the Semi-Final, which means I'm in my first final! And may it be the first of many!

[Makoto Nakamura]

October 2015

An amazing month! We've reached continental competition! And we're still going great in the league, squad harmony is at an all time high which is strange because it was back at 5% earlier in the season so something must be going right!

[Makoto Nakamura]

November 2015

And we hang on to the top form to finish off the season!!!....Or do we? It turns out the teams placed 2nd-5th go into a play of, what for? I don't know.

[Peter G]

Loving this challenge idea, are you doing alphabet clubs as well?

Good luck!

[Makoto Nakamura]

Good luck!

Thanks Peter G, and nope I'm not doing alphabet clubs as well, although it could have worked for a little bit (Atl. Rafaela in Argentina, Brisbane Roar in Australia) although it wouldn't work in Austria.

[Makoto Nakamura]

End of Season 2015

And what does this playoff mean? Really, what does it mean? I don't have a clue!

Key Players:

Season  |   Club    |   Nation   |            League          |   Position  | Other  
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2014    | Temperley | Argentina  | Argentine 2nd Division     | 3rd Group B | Promoted 
2015    | Temperley | Argentina  | Argentine Premier Division |     3rd     | Cup & Super Cup Winners!

[chile_paul]

Loving this thread and the crazy Argentine system - need to have a game there myself this time around. Crazy amounts of goals being scored, hopefully the patches will fix that but won't cause you to have to restart your game

Thanks chile_paul, it's definitely a lot to get your head around but it is very enjoyable hopefully the patches won't over-fix it and give 0-0's 8 out of 10 times

[Adelaidean]

Good luck with this, hefty ambition you've got there!

Pre-Season 2016

Not the best pre-season, leaves me wondering how we're going to deal with the league.

Best Transfers:

[deltablue]

Good luck for a strong Libertadores campaign.

February 2016

A good group for us, we've avoided all the Brazilian teams so I'm very pleased

We've had a great unbeaten start to the season, and hopefully it can last just a little bit longer.

[Makoto Nakamura]

March 2016

Another amazing month we almost dropped points against Arsenal de Sarandi but a late goal from Blanco managed to give us all 3 points to keep us in 2nd.

[Bobsled]

Insane challenge but going really well so far, keep it up. I will be following.

Thanks Jonas Thanks for following

[Makoto Nakamura]

April 2016

And so the run goes on! We almost slipped up a couple of times but everyone around us already has and we now have a 5 point gap with a game in hand over most of the teams.

[Makoto Nakamura]

May 2016

Another good month even though there were only 2 league games and we finally lost our unbeaten record, we stay in 2nd place on goal difference but we have a game in hand over Velez. We also scraped past Belgrano in the Copa Argentina, in the Copa Libertadores we edged past Defensor Sporting with Bengua scoring the goals for both teams, we managed to overcome Internacional more convincingly, we now face to sole remaining Brazilian team Corinthians in the Semi-Final.
