ashjm Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Season 9 (Continued) - 2028 Brazil Serie A Sacked - I took my new club over in August and the team looked pretty good. They were struggling in 18th and into the Copa Sudamerica Quarter Finals. I though I would be able to come in move them out of the relegation zone and then build on it next year. It was very optimistic and in truth it did not happen. We somehow managed to win the Sudamerica with a win over Santos in the final. In the League we could not buy a win and really struggled. Eventually the club were relegated and I was sacked.

ashjm Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Season 10 - 2028/29 Mexican First Division Competitions - So after a really poor time in Brazil I moved slightly north to Mexico. I took over the club after their manager had left for Club America. The club had just been runners up in the Opening Stage and were still in the cup so it was a good choice. In the cup things went very well as all the big teams seemed to fall away. We went to the final and lost the first leg before winning the second, that gave me another cup win. In the league we just could not seem to get a run together, we just did not manage to do very well. In the quarter finals we lost the first leg and then won the second but went out due to being the lower seed. Stars of Season Claudio Bravo - The only player in Vitoria who had any credit. I brought him in as I felt he would do well for me on the left hand side Luis Puente - Superb striker who scored a lot of goals for the club Jordan Carillo - Doesn't score enough but for me had been very creative Next Season I have agreed for a few players to come in and help us out. I am not sure what if any continental tournament we will be in, I have not played in Mexico before so it should be fun. I am very aware that we do need some help as the team is a little way behind the others in the league.

vikeologist Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 @ashjm In the Mexican cup, the big clubs didn't fall away. They weren't in the competition. Still counts though. You might be in the Champions League because they finished runners up in the Opening Stage. It's the winners of the league plus the winners of the regular seasons, but obviously that might not be 4 different sides, so runners up come into play. Not sure whether that's closing stage or regular season runners up though. Qualification from mexico is just a mystery until it happens. Some things are just beyond human understanding.

ashjm Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Season 11 - 2029/30 Mexican First Division Competitions - I was a little busy in the off season as I spent £13 million on some quality players. The squad was already one of the best in Mexico and with that extra coming in makes us the best squad in Mexico. In the Opening Stage we finished 1st and got to the semi final but we lost on away goals in a disappointing game. In the Closing Stage we did really well but I had to rest some players in the latter stages due to the Champions League games and we finished 2nd. We got all our players back for the play offs and we smashed every team and won the league. In the Champions League we battered a team from Honduras before beating two American teams. In the final we played Club America who are awful we battered them and I wont my 3rd Champions League. Stars of Season Franco Garcia - An amazing player who is unreal, he was maybe the best player this year Luis Puente - Another superb season from one of the best Mexican players in Mexico Alexis Oro - He scores in what seemed every single game this year, I signed him for £2.5mil Next Season I will be off now, I think it maybe time to go to Europe Season Team League Nation Finish Notes -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2019 GD Southern Tigers League One CHN 6th 2020 GD Southern Tigers League One CHN 6th 2021 GD Southern Tigers League One CHN 2nd Promoted 2022 GD Southern Tigers Super League CHN 3rd Champions League Qualification 2023 GD Southern Tigers Super League CHN 11th Left With Four Games Remaining. 2024 Beijing Guoan Super League CHN 1st League and Cup Double 2025 Beijing Guoan Super League CHN 1st League, Cup, CL 2025/26 Maritzburg United Premier League RSA 6th Took over in 14th in December 2026/27 Maritzburg United Premier League RSA 1st League Champions 2027/28 Maritzburg United Premier League RSA 1st League and Cup Double, Champions League 2028 Vitoria Serie A BRA 18th Took over with club 18th in August, Won Copa Sudamerica, Sacked 2028/29 Santos Laguna First Division MEX 7th Took over in Jan for Closing Stage, Won Mex Cup 2029/30 Santos Laguna First Division MEX 1st Won Closing Stage, Won NACL Season Nation Notes -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2021 Guinea Qualified for World Cup 2022 Guinea World Cup 1/4 Final 2023 Guinea ACN Champions Challenge Progress 10/32 Club 3/10 top domestic leagues (CHN with Beijin, RSA with Martizburg United, MEX Santos Laguna) 3/10 domestic cups (CHN with Beijing, RSA with Martizburg Utd, MEX with Santos Laguna) 3/5 club continental championships (Asian CL with Beijing, African CL with Maritzburg Utd, NACL with Santos Laguna) 0/1 club world championship International 1/5 continental tournaments (ACN with Guinea) 0/1 World Cup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikeologist Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 Vikeologist's 2049 Ivory Coast ACON Report My first international tournament for 6 years. Over the course of quite a few Ultimate saves, I failed to win something like 8 ACONs in a row, although that is still not the record for all challengers. Anyway, this is my first attempt this save. Hopefully I can do it first time. We seem to be roughly joint favourites with Morocco. We certainly shouldn’t have any problems in the group stage, but just to save my job I need to make it to the final, and that often boils down to luck. Group Stage Spoiler Ivory Coast 3-0 Angola Ivory Coast 5-4 Guinea Ivory Coast 4-1 Central African Republic Not as easy as I thought. We were actually 3-1 down at half time against Guinea, albeit with a rotated squad. Morocco may be in the other half of the draw, but ever other top team is in ours. DR Congo next. 2nd Round (if applicable) Spoiler Ivory Coast 0-2 DR Congo We dominated the match in every single aspect other than goals. A lot time since I’ve been FMed like this. Quarter Final (if applicable) Spoiler n/a Semi Final (if applicable) Spoiler n/a 3rd Place Playoff / Final (if applicable) Spoiler n/a After The Tournament Spoiler Obviously sacked. Applied for the Nigeria and Ghana jobs, and was offered both, so opted for Ghana, even though they look in slight doubt of qualifying for the World Cup. Sigh, winning the ACON first time around would have been really nice. Still, at first glance Ghana does look like a more rounded squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
treva Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Finally getting back into my save and I’m about halfway through my second season with Spurs. Just had an all-time favourite moment in the save: my two first team goalkeepers came down with an injury and with a Carabao Cup QF vs Arsenal coming up I thought I’d spare my 17 year old U23 keeper the pressure and find an emergency loan. Got a pretty average keeper off Liverpool on loan just in time and started him. The game ended 1-1 and went to pens. We missed our 3rd pen but he pulled out back-to-back saves to send us through. I was going to terminate the loan immediately after but I think he’ll have to stay and play the SF and the Final, if we get there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikeologist Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 Vikeologist's 2048/9 Kaizer Chiefs (and Ghana) Report Siphamandlandled We won everything again, (well, not absolutely everything as I will reveal) we did win the Champions League (which we weren’t in last season).Once we thrashed ES Tunis (CL Champions the last 4 seasons) in the semi, I thought the trophy was in the bag, especially as we were facing Sundowns in the final who finished mid table in South Africa. Predictably we dominated the match, but my level of stress was off the charts as for 60 minutes we just couldn’t score. Even when we quickly went 2-0 up, they pegged a goal back straight away. Eventually we won 4-1 though. I can now move on from Africa, but next up was the Club World Cup, luckily taking place this year. In a group with Toronto and my old team Everton, progression was always somewhat unlikely. In fact we did very well, earning 2 draws. Unfortunately Everton predictably beat Toronto, so we were out. The frustrating thing is that it means our unbeaten streak continues. I set new FM20 Records Thread) records for wins in a row and unbeaten, which came to an end, and then set another pair of fresh new records. We have currently gone 50 matches without losing, but it’s not worth staying just to extend it. Frankly it’s not that amazing a record, but if I hadn’t lost that match in the middle because I needed to rotate my squad to keep them fresh I would be close to 100 I leave Kaizer Chiefs with a record of W115, D6, L3. Not bad. Top Goalscorer - Andile Mthembu / Bongi Mathebula – 37 I rotated 3 strikers, so none of them scored as many as they could have if they’d played every match. Highest Average Rating (minimum 10 matches played) – Siphamandla Mlungwana – 7.98 An attacking midfielder. Man of The Match – Andile Mthembu- 8 Most Valuable Player– Siphamandla Mlungwana You may have noticed that I started doing little quips at the top of my report based on the names of my MVPs. Africa confounded me though. Oh, wait. I've got one. What’s next? Well, I applied for a job at FC Porto, but they didn’t even offer me an interview. Shows how bad my rep is. I can go to any nation I like now. I need one more league, but 3 more cups. I’m going to have a lot of leagues added, and try to vike a couple of cups. There’s no hurry. I want to manage in Europe to improve my reputation and help me get a good European national job, but I need to win the ACON first, and early signs suggest that might well happen in a couple of years with Ghana.

vikeologist Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 Vikeologist's 2050 Ghana World Cup Report Twenty years ago I won the World Cup with Argentina, but I haven’t had much luck the last 2 times with Holland and Spain. Hopefully this time I won’t be sacked though. All I have to do is make it to the second round. When I took over Ghana, I was confident that they were a ticket to winning the ACON, but there have been some stressful times since taking over. Before my arrival they only had 4 points from their first 2 World Cup qualifiers, and we lost to rivals Egypt in our first match. This meant we had to win the remaining 3 matches, including the return against Egypt, just to qualify as one of the better 2nd place teams. We managed it, but it was far from comfortable. Anyway, that’s all in the past now. It will be interesting to meet Switzerland in the group stage, a nation I quit because they turned out to be so much worse than their world ranking suggested they would be when I took the job out of desperation for a Euro nation role. The worrying thing about Ghana is the lack of younger players, although there are plenty with dual nationality who won’t accept a call up. 20 of my 23 man squad is 30 or over, but hopefully I only need them to hold off the ravages of age for another 7 or so months until the next ACON. Group Stage Spoiler Ghana 1-1 Ecuador A match we should have won, but after we gave away a penalty, and then had a player issued a straight red, I was quite relieved to get an equaliser and a draw. Ghana 3-0 Switzerland Switzerland are every bit as useless as when I was in charge. They saw off Ecuador, which ensured we topped the group, and our reward; another old team, Spain! Oh well. 2nd Round (if applicable) Spoiler Ghana 1-2 Spain We had the lead. The Spanish winner came right at the end of extra time. A very good performance. 3rd Round (if applicable) Spoiler N/A Quarter Final (if applicable) Spoiler N/A Semi Final (if applicable) Spoiler N/A 3rd Place Playoff / Final (if applicable) Spoiler N/A After The Tournament Spoiler After the tournament, one of my best players retired from international football, and there’s quite a drop-off to the next guy up, so I applied for Euro international jobs, of which there were many vacancies, and was offered Italy and Portugal. I was also offered Switzerland, even though I didn’t apply to go back. From my above comments, you can surmise I didn’t consider that one. I think there’s always going to be African nations to manage. Italy and Portugal are the only 2 big Euro nations left to me (since France, Holland and Spain clearly don’t want me back, at least for the moment). Winning the Euro is the big obstacle to me completing this challenge, so I might as well use up 50% of my chances now. I chose Italy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjwphneb Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Is this thing on? (Can't remember if I've already done this season update so if I have apologies, it's been a while) Scott Williams 2040 End of Season Review Start of a new decade brought new hopes for Scott, off the back of last season, losing out on goals for the main target was to invest heavily in the attack and outscore everything in front of us. This was made slightly easier when Brighton bought Seoul's South African winger for £20 million. A few other Europe also snapped up some of Seoul's defenders but Scott didn't care for them this season. The two main Ins were Hernan Delgado back on loan from arsenal (scored 18 goals) and Aritz Jimenez from AC Milan for £3 million (scored 17 goals). In total £17 million was used to bolster the squad and so the results in the competition aren't all that surprising. Spoiler The first leg of the AFC was lost 1-0 and with 20 minutes left on the clock in the return leg that is how it remained. Fortunately one of the summer signings stepped up with two goals and an OG sealed the victory.

bjwphneb Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Scott Williams 2041/42 End of Season Report With Scott's task complete in Asia it was time to make a return to European football. Out of a job for nine months Scott was eager to take the first club from France, Germany or Spain who were in the top half that came knocking. This ended him up at Real Sociedad. Had he waited until the end of the season then a whole host of positions would have become available including, Real, Barca, PSG, Lyon and Bayern. Nevertheless their was no use contemplating what could have been. Scott had a strong run in at the end of last season winning 7/10 league games and securing UEL football for this season. In this season Scott continued that form moving as high as 3rd in the league. A small dip in form around the new year saw other teams close the gap between Sociedad and the UCL chasing pack. The chase went down to the final day of the season where Scott's men were able to see of a struggling Eibar side whilst Sevilla fell to Atletico Madrid. This means Scott will be back managing UCL football. It is a bit of a shame as they would have a good shot at winning the UEL next season, maybe he'll have to tactically finish 3rd in the group. In the UEL Sociedad topped a group containing Zagreb. Stjarnan and Cagliari but then lost to Liverpool in the second round. Spoiler 21 points is going to be a tough gap to close and as much as I'm sure Scott would like to avoid managing Barca or either or the Madrid clubs it may be the only option.

Tubzinho Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Not normally one to look for Challenges but this one has really intrigued me. About 10 years in now. Started at Torns IF and really enjoyed that save, signing mainly Brazilians ad other obscure players on free transfers that really shone in Swedish football. Then came China where I basically took over a team with lots of money, so spent the money and not surprisingly won a lot. Then off to Mexico where I joined another good club in Chivas and also took on the Mexican national team. Mexico really has some good players and also most are available for decent money, After Chivas I then joined Maritzburg United - more of an opportunity to take there and then as they had a very strong side at that point, being runners up in the league so really did not have to change a lot to win there. Quickly moved on to Gremio, again a very good squad that really did not need a lot of tweaking to make it successful. Finally it was time to come back to Europe and I took on the Fiorentina job. After 6 months of separating the wheat from the chaff, managed to sell a couple of players to bring in some much needed cash and really reinforce the squad. After Fiorentina, onto Monaco where they had the basis of a good squad and a lot of money. Added some world class talent and ended PSG's dominance. Now at Sevilla, a team that finished 7th last season. Like Fiorentina, I have had to part with a couple of high profile players to bring in subsequent funds to reinforce but they have some decent attacking players so hopefully it is just a case of sorting out the defence.

vikeologist Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) Vikeologist's 2050/1 Slovan Bratislava and Italy World Cup Report I was without a club job for almost 2 whole years. I wanted a top club. I wanted to still be in at least 1 domestic cup. Basically I wanted a job at a club that had no earthly reason to have sacked their manager. Finally a job at Slovakia’s top club, Slovan Bratislava came up near the end of the season. With 8 matches left, I only improved our league position by one place from 6th to 5th, but we won the Euro II playoff, so at least we’ll have European football next season. Hopefully it will only take me a year to win the league and cup. I’ll be staying until I get the cup, as I need 3 of those as opposed to just 1 more league title. I won the Nations League for the third time, with my third different nation; Italy. To be honest, it pisses me off a bit. I just want 1 Euro, and I’m running out of nations to do it with. My matches with France, Spain and Germany along the way were all close run affairs, so it’s not like I can be super confident for next year. MVP - Gianfranco Tammaro – 7 goals in 8 Nations League matches.

I may well do a new challenge on FM21 but may look to find a patch or something to add additional leagues for Africa (if there is such a thing) as the South Africa only element of the challenge is quite limiting.

bjwphneb Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Scott Williams 2042 World Cup Iran Another continental competition comes and goes for Scott, 4 years ago he was knocked out by Ukraine whilst in charge of Brazil, this time his Iran side fell to another former team of his, Mexico. In a group of Germany and Zambia, Iran remained unbeaten coming away with a 0-0 draw vs the Germans. Unfortunately Iran conceded a penalty in the 85th minute vs Mexico to lose 1-0. Obviously Iran were never going to win it but it would have been nice to play more than 3 matches. Hopefully Scott can win the Asian Nations Cup this time around and actually have a proper shot at the 46' worlds. Elsewhere in the summer window, Scott was approached by his favourite club Manchester United. Nuno Esperito Santo has retired from football leaving an unfamiliar face in charge for the time being. Think his name is Cristiano Ronaldo United won the UCL and Club world cup a few seasons ago but the next one isn't for a while and so regrettably Scott did not attend the interview. Much to the delight of the Sociedad faithful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikeologist Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) I have been considering starting a new thread; i.e. The Ultimate Football Manager 21 Challenge. There's no real reason to, other than the fact that nobody is going to read through 107 pages of this thread. Maybe it will encourage new people to start the challenge. On the other hand, as far as I'm aware, there's nothing in the new version that affects this challenge, and it will be embarrassing if nobody is posting. (I will complete this challenge, but I'll probably play FM21 for a few days to see what it's like. I might start a challenge on FM21 to see if I can see any obvious bugs in the beta). Frankly there are some fairly compelling reasons for not starting this challenge with the beta. The last couple of years have been really free of killer bugs. I'm interested in your opinions. Every other challenge starts a new thread every year, so maybe we should too. I've tidied up some of the out of date bits in the first few posts. I guess I should find a new picture for the thread, since the kids today probably don;t know who any of those footballers are. So, if people want a new thread, I will start one before the full version of the game comes out. Obviously, that will be the thread for everybody doing the challenge, and people would stop posting on this thread. What do people think? Also, if anything has changed in the last few years to change any of the guidelines in the first few posts, let me know. I haven't managed in Australia so I don't know if the Wellington Phoenix thing is different now. Edited November 10, 2020 by vikeologist Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

_JHTB_ Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I'm going to be giving this another go this FM - starting right now which is obviously going to come back and bite me if there's bugs from the beta but c'est la vie. Doesn't make that much difference to me if it's in this thread or another so I'll leave that up to the general opinion Regardless, here's my manager profile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

treva Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 On 17/08/2020 at 10:36, vikeologist said: Of course the flip side is that if we don't win first time, we may never get another chance with Mexico. Some if not most nations don't give you another chance, so we might be stuck with one second chance with USA. But I don't think anybody in the history of this challenge has ever lost a Gold Cup with Mexico. So no pressure on us. (This is BS by the way. mayihavecookie took 2 goes to win the Gold Cup with Mexico) @vikeologist Not only did I not win the Gold Cup with Mexico, I got knocked out by Costa Rica on penalties in the quarter final. Potentially the worst performance anyone managing Mexico has ever achieved in a Gold Cup during this challenge? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Beckham Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) Club Athletico Juventud Season 3 Review I managed to win my first competition as manager by winning the Campeonato Uruguayo(Uruguay Top Division) I wasn't expecting to do so well so soon. I haven't cheated either. I just picked a good tactic similar to how Sean Dyche has Burnley set up and it works well in South America. Here is the tactic I use. My topscorer with 12 goals was Rodrigo De Olivera. My reputation is now 25% so I am off to apply for a bigger job in South America. San Lorenzo needs a manager so I have applied for their job.

BigJack Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 On 13/01/2020 at 15:39, Lewis89 said: Season 11 2029 - Club Leon Competitions Liga Bancomer MX Opening Stage - League Table Results Our first full season started with a win and I hoped we could continue where we left off the season before. Instead I got a real inconsistent side who just could not defend. At times we played teams off the park and still lost. In the end I had to beg for my job after finishing in 12th place. The board set me a target of 10 points from the opening 5 league games of the Closing Stage otherwise I was going to be sacked for the first time. Liga Bancomer MX Closing Stage - League Table Results 1 Results 2 After our points ultimatum and poor showing in the Opening Stage i decided that we needed to change our formation, and switched to a 424 to utilise our strongest players, this worked a treat as we managed to finish 3rd, satisfying the board along the way. This put us into the Play Offs where we beat foes Monarcas Morelia 2-1 in the QF, we beat Tigres Unal 4-3 in the SF. In the final we faced a strong Monterrey side, who despite losing their semi final 1st leg 3-0, were our opponents. I needn't worry, a rampant first 45 mins in the 1st leg saw us 5-1 up, and the tie was already over. The first leg finished 6-3 and we followed that up with a 3-0 home win to seal our first silverware in Mexico. MX Cup - Results Due to our failings to qualify for Continental football last season, I thought this would be quite a easy cup to win. I was wrong, we lost in 2nd round. Leagues Cup - Results Still not sure what this comp is but it had little importance to the board. Playing Squad Transfers End of Season Awards Squad We have a really talented squad but their consistency worries me. The defence needs some work and that is the area I will be looking to strengthen over the break to give us a chance of challenging for the NACL. Our top players this season were: Juan Manuel Britos (CM) - One of our key men, he was instrumental in the midfield this season and has bags of room for improvement. A big move to Europe wont be far away but im hoping to keep him for at least one more season. Rodolfo Hernandez (ST) - Our key man since ive been in charge. The striker just loves scoring goals, 37 goals in 43 games. Victor Hugo Lopez (ST) - I neglected this man for the majority of my first 12 months in charge due to having Hernandez and a preference for a one man up top formation, since changing to a two man attack, we have reaped the rewards. 17 goals in 17 starts. Next Season Manager Profile The aim next season is simple, to win the NACL. That is all I need to tick off 4 continents of club football and to finally head over to Europe. I don't think I will be competing in any Cup competitions next season in Mexico so will need to go to a League simply for a cup win at some point in this save. I plan on finishing the save in England but that will depend on job availability etc. I am still in charge of the Australian national team and we look almost certain to qualify for the 2030 World cup. Will do an international update once qualification is finished. Manager reputation is up to 75% and hopefully this will rise more if we can win the NACL. With 12 months to run on my contract, It could be another Fluminense where I simply let my contract run down until I know if I need to spend any longer here.
