DavidBeckham Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Dear all,I haven't been able to get into FM16 as much as the previous versions due to work and with the lightening of workload, as well as the release of the winter transfer update, it's a perfect time to start a new save! I also regret to say that I will be putting the previous Journeyman save on hold and you can catch it here. (I managed to finally win the Premier League with Forest!) This time round, I'm trying out the new Create-a-Club mode and with Becks struggling in his plans for a new club in real life, I would like to attempt the same on the game. However, I will be choosing a club in the Sky Bet Championship (instead of MLS) and the selected club to be edited/replaced is Middlesbrough due to their impressive youth system Game Status Current Version: 16.3.0 776772 (m.e v1632) Database Size: Large Selected Nations (Leagues) Denmark (Superliga Only) England (Sky Bet Championship And Above) Germany (First Division Only) Italy (Serie A Only) Norway (Premier Division Only) Spain (LIGA BBVA Only) Sweden (Premier Division Only) Advanced Options Do not Add Key Staff Disable First Window Transfer Budgets Prevent use of the In-Game Editor These options were checked to add more realism to the save. Club Details The previous club history has been cleared and Anchor United is starting with a clean slate! SquadThe entire Middlesbrough squad has been cleared and 27 new English players were added (limited by Middlesbrough's original club value), inclusive of a newly created player. You are allowed to create two new players on this mode and since I have never been able to manage a son regen on the game, I cannot help but create the following player on this mode..He may have been over-rated by me during the creation but which father isn't a tad biased towards their own son? Manager's ProfileTo make things more interesting, Becks will be managing his own club and he will only be allowed to sign English players and staff on the save. And with that, we are all set and ready to go! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennuk Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Great start - looking forward to seeing how this will go. I think that Brooklyn will be playing for England in the next year or two, and you will walk the league (As long as too many players don't leave that is). Good luck and interested to see where this goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck and interested to see where this goes. Thank you! Brooklyn is currently in the ENG U19s and his dad is taking things slow I also managed to keep the whole squad together in the first window, it's a good omen! Good luck dude. Welcome back! Thanks mate! Feels great to be back \o/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidBeckham Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 Fantastic start for the boy in the opening fixture! ..and the gaffer has managed to get his name in under Brooklyn's 'Favored Personnel' at the first time of asking :*) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidBeckham Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Mid-season Update 2015/2016 - Anchor UnitedLeagueIt has been a great start for Anchor United. We lead the pack by 5 points, scoring 24 and conceding 7 in 15 games. The only two defeats were narrow 0-1 defeats against Reading and Cardiff and we were the better side in both games. Callum Wilson has been a goal machine and I was disappointed to see him pick up an injury in the last game of this update. The pacey front-man will be out for a month and we will have to find goals from elsewhere. Otherwise.. so far, so good \o/ Capital One CupThe lads who haven't played much in the league started the first round tie against Doncaster and they impressed, progressing to the second round after a 3-0 victory. Zach Clough bagged an impressive double. The youngster found the net again in the next round against Premier League outfit Stoke but my boys fell short eventually, eliminated by the richer boys in a narrow 2-3 defeat.

DavidBeckham Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Youth Intake 2015/2016 - Anchor UnitedFull IntakeNot a bad intake considering that we are still in the Championship. A couple has potential to develop into Premier League squad players and were promptly signed up.Gary EvansGary's Handling, One On Ones & Reflexes are top class for a 16-year-old but he needs to work on his positioning and agility before he can be considered for the first team.Ben AllinghamBen is physically good enough but needs major improvement in his defensive technicals and mentals before he can get a game in the top flight.Eric NyarkoEric is good on the set-pieces but needs to polish up on his technique and passing or he will find it hard to keep the ball at the highest level.

DavidBeckham Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 Season Review 2015/2016 - Anchor UnitedLeagueIt was comfortable in the end as we bagged the title with 8 games to go, breaking the Championship's record points total with 114 from 46 games. It was no surprise as Becks was able to put together a well-balanced squad with Middlesbrough's squad value and of course, not forgetting the creation of the excellent Becks Junior. With the promotion to the world's most expensive league, the real challenge starts now. Awards6 in the team of the year with Chambers on the bench \o/Pleasing to see the lad bag the young player of the year award after a very productive season down our left flank!Wilson proved he's too good for the league as he finished comfortably clear of his rivals to grab the top goal scorer award The son's gonna be so special and I have never seen someone accumulate so many assists in a single season. And of course, he bossed Anchor United's first ever end of the season awards. Unbelievable Jeff.:*)FA Cup (knocked out in fifth round)I couldn't be more pleased with the lads' work in this season's FA Cup campaign. We took revenge for Capital One Cup's exit by knocking out Stoke in the Third Round, before eliminating Wigan at the second time of asking at the next hurdle. Tottenham were our next opponents and the boys did well not to get outclassed as we fell to a narrow 0-1 defeat eventually. No disgrace. Capital One Cup (knocked out in second round)As written in the mid season update. Great season from the first ever Anchor United squad. Most of the team will be kept together for the next campaign and hopefully, they can keep us up in the top flight. Top 3 PlayersUnsurprisingly, the three award winners were our top 3 players of the campaign. Becks Junior, goal machine Callum Wilson & wing wonder Patrick Roberts were the well-deserved winners in that order. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidBeckham Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Preseason 2016/2017 - Anchor UnitedBoard ExpectationsEnglish Premier League: Qualify for Europa LeagueFA Cup: Not importantCapital One Cup: Not importantHow's this possible? In our first season back in the top flight, the board expects us to qualify for Europa League through participation in the league. A mid table finish would be a terrific achievement in my opinion. Lets hope Becks survive the sack BudgetsTransfer: 35.87 million poundsWages: 925k poundsWe have the money but we can only buy English players as part of the rules on the save. Most of the squad will be kept together for our debut in the world's most expensive league.Transfers5 came in for a total of 32.1 million pounds and 2 left for 9.2. Jed Steer demanded first team football when he is not exactly good enough and I had to let him go for 2.2 million pounds. Bidwell was never going to develop into the level the club aspires to and I was happy to let him go to Stoke for 7 millions pounds . Key SigningsRyan ShawcrossWe needed an upgrade on our central defense and Ryan was the only choice on the market. As a result, we had to fork out 16 million pounds for him and hopefully the big man can repay our faith in him. Jame WilsonThere are now two Wilsons in the squad as we snapped the quick striker up on loan from Old Trafford. James will provide quality back-up to Callum in the advance forward role.Charlie TaylorCharlie arrives from Leeds United and he is certainly an upgrade on the outgoing Bidwell at left-back. He will compete with Galloway for a spot in our back four in the upcoming campaign \o/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
