TheEarl Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 As far as I can see @OneManSnipez there are no added leagues for Africa or N.America yet either... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oohlala111 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Well, an amazing guy called Riddler has released a ton of reliable leagues in every continent except Oceania (you can find him in the workshop if you search up Faroe Islands in the workshop and click on Riddler's name) and there's some standalone Oceania databases in the workshop. I don't know if those are reliable or not but I'm going to find out! Also, copying the O-League data from FM17 seems to work so I am going to be starting the challenge, probably tomorrow So hyped for this!!@TheEarl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oohlala111 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 China U23 National Team Well, looks like I'm starting today! Only 3 Oceania leagues were available to choose from (New Zealand, Cook Islands and another) so I loaded up some leagues in Asia as well. I applied for a couple of interesting jobs, including the job as UAE, Saudi Arabia and China U23 Manager. I got a lot of job interviews but only one offer from a team called Lynx Matsuyama. However, all 3 U23 teams approached me and I decided to accept the China U23s role as I believe they are the best of the 3 teams. It will be interesting to see where this takes me as I am starting with an international team instead of a club, but hopefully I can do well and land myself a job elsewhere. My first job is to guide the China U23s to a place at the U23 Asian Nations' Cup. We are in a group with the U23 sides from Macau, Taiwan and Myanmar and I expect us to win easily. We beat Myanmar U23s 3-0 (without me in charge) and I just need to see off Macau and Taiwan to qualify. Fingers crossed!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmattb28 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Going to post a mini mid season update tomorrow, got a few games of the season left, I got to the friendship cup final again and into semi of FA cup but I've had an interview and offer from North Village Rams who are the best rep team in Bermuda, not sure whether to go now or stick it with Devonshire until the end of the season, I could win the league if other results go my way with Devonshire, I'm a few points behind leaders Dandy Town Hornets, decisions decisions.

I have seen quite a few remarks about some divisions being custom made by the author, but if most seems reliable I might allow it in the future. Also what is comfortable about classes updates is that people can download it in a megapack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmattb28 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I've not been on FM much but managed to complete season 2 and have 1 game left of season 3. I'll post end of season 3 tomorrow or over the weekend when I finish. So end of seaosn 2 started off with a loss on penalties in the Friendship cup to PHC Zebras (Who I palyed in my first game, and ebat in a previous cup final): During season 2 we won the FA cup again: End of the season we finished 4th: I signed a new contract in the close season, I plan on staying this third season then leaving for pastures new: My main strieker has retired and become an assistant at another club in the league: Season 3 preview: Targets for season 3: As we'd won the FA cup we got to play in charity shield at the start of season 3 which we won:- Due to winning the cups & charity shields I'm now top of the hall of fame for Bermuda: Finances at start of season 3: Finally, Uruguay won the World Cup: I should get season 3 wrapped up tonight or tomorrow and post my updates. As I say I will eave Devonshire after this season is all wrapped up and see where I end up.

bigmattb28 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Season 3 finished and after we got the charity shield again at the start of the season it all came down to the last game: But we did it and won the league, just! Thanks to a late goal After completing this season and winning the league as I said in a previous post I would leave so I did. There was some jobs in Malaysia, and the top 2 teams in Bermuda sacked their managers and I was favorite for the job but 1 caught my eye in UAE so I declared interest and got interviewed. After a week or so in game I am now the manager of Emirates FC in the United Arab Emirates second division. They're predicted to finish fourth although have got a couple of decent players already, 1 clearly first choice striker & a young left winger on loan Gonna see how this season goes, if we go up I'll stay, if not well we'll see.

markypark14 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 A quick question before starting. How do people choose what leagues to move to? Planning on starting in Oceania and only having some of the Oceania leagues loaded to begin, so not sure the best way to move continents once Oceania has been conquered.

South Africa that comes with the game, and Nigeria made by claassen. This means you can only win 2 league in Africa, and not complete the game. I will make a new thread for 18 during the weekend anyway I think, because it will soon be ready and the weekend is better time for me to make the thread. Personally I would like a lot more leagues in Africa and Caribbean before I start my journey, but as soon as the 6 continents have minimum 3 playable leagues people should be fine to start the game. I remind you all that it is still only leagues made by claassen that is legal, even if other serious database makers are out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loaded as playable I have: Manager profile, no real reason why am from Barbados, just think it's a cool place and it won't add anything to the game or have any influence I don't think: Am thinking go for the Oceania leagues & if poss the OFC Champs league then remove those leagues before moving on, depending whats around I don't know if will be going to Asia or Africa, will leave Europe til last. Loads of jobs available at the start so will be applying for loads! Wish me luck and good luck to the guys that's started this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
